Infinity

[stellar]

Probably just a bit of noise but that's what came to my mind.

Well, there are certain geometrical and structural forms that evidently Nature likes and uses them in many different circumstances. Spheres, for instance, appear everywhere. The same with Golden Ratio. Or, maybe it is us, who are especially sensitive and detect easily these particular forms? Hard to say.
Anyway, I think the true play starts only with extra dimensions, those beyond space. Infinity may be the door, but after the door there is a vestibule, and I am trying to get a peek in there - as the logical next step. But is is not the hyperspace of Michio Kaku, who is trying to connect it to string theories. It is rather the hyperspace of early Kaluza, Klein, Einstein and Bergmann, also of Burkhard Heim - the "real one", not just a "virtual" one, that can be seen only at Planck's energy, as in string theories and Kaku's "Hyperspace".

I imagine it would be one heck of a birds eye view to be in that space between doors! I certainly wish you all the best.

It's a little bit scary over there. The only weapon that works is Logic.

Although I have no knowledge in your line of expertise, this statement gives me a sense that you have at least glimpsed someting at least 'on paper'.

Well, for anything outside of our dimension that to me sounds completely Logical. :)

Logic is a lovely thing, but I'm fairly certain there are places outside of our dimension where a good sword still comes in handy too ;D

Good sword is sometimes handy. I like the sword of the late American philosopher ,Paul Feyerabend, who had a revolutionary spirit He used to be a student of Karl R. Popper, but did not become his slave. In"Realism, Rationalism and Scientific Method" he is fighting Popper in these words:

"Popper's criticism of the Copenhagen Interpretation, and especially of Bohr's ideas, is irrelevant, and his own interpretation is inadequate. The criticism is irrelevant as it neglects certain important facts, arguments, hypotheses and procedures which are necessary for a proper evaluation of complementarity and because it accuses its defenders of 'mistakes', 'muddles' and 'grave errors', which not only have not been committed, but against which Bohr and Heisenberg have issued quite explicit warnings. His own positive view which is interesting, especially if extrapolated as described in section 2, and which is very relevant in probability theory, is quite inadequate as a remedy for the special problems of the quantum theory and too simplistic to be regarded even as a possible alternative to complementarity (let alone a preferable one). Altogether it is a big and unfortunate step back from what had already been achieved in 1927. His accusation of dogmatism, too, is quite ill founded. There was hardly a physicist who was so intent on seeing all sides of a problem, and so fond of qualifying his remarks, as was Bohr. Besides, Bohr was prepared to consider and even to develop views which could not easily be reconciled with his own philosophy as is shown by the theory of Bohr, Kramer and Slater. He was prepared to test his philosophy with the help of alternatives."

In "The Worst Enemy of Science? Essays in Memory of Paul Feyerabend", Gonzalo Munevar wrote about Paul Feyerabend:

"Paul Feyerabend, who was once described in Nature as "the worst enemy of science," was no enemy of science. On the contrary, he showed how complex and exciting science is, and how it may become at once more fruitful and more humane. Of the many theses that Feyerabend advanced, perhaps the most important is that no method, no rule will capture science. Even the most excellent ideas of how science should be done have exceptions. When we examine closely the history of science we see not only that the great scientists violated empirical method, but that they had to violate it—otherwise they would not have achieved the great success for which we now know them."

Absolutely...ya got one?

Yup..words work good when you're fighting other people, but in some of those places you're talking about peeping into, words just can't take the place of a nice sharp hunk o'copper. Rule #1-Anything grabs you, cut it off! I think remember reading one of the transcripts where the C's told you what kind of weapons you need?

If you're lacking any necessary tools for your travels, I know a coppersmith who can make ANYTHING you need. After 20 years, he no longer says "You want me to make what?" Now he just says "Draw it out for me" and quotes a price, which is always reasonable.

Contrary to popular belief...you can take it with you. At the very least I'd ask one of the ladies to knit you some copper undies. ;)

Copper-oxide. It can be superconducting:

ROFL Well I wasn't suggesting you wear them when you're running day to day errands...although if your car seats are heated, that could be an interesting experience. :P

Well, I thought he was talking about using logic to extrapolate facts in an environment where one has no intuition about what should happen. Swords are cool too though :P

 

[ark]

Swords are cool too though :P

I agree. They have their iron logic.

I couldn't get past the language in the abstract… and was trying to get a little grasp of field theory…. And if I had an ARK function button that would be handy, input problem press ARK = Answer.

So I may be in error here, if the two spheres are conductors of sorts and the point being space then the two spheres would define the field geometry (the cone/s), the cone would not exist without the sphere/s and nothing would exist without space, there would be no point to anything, no choices, no lesson's no mistake's... only energy without a point and no where to go on a Saturday night.

Hope you get the recognition for your work it seems quiet epic.

Wow tremendous work ! Congrats !
I am not up to date with news since I stopped reading your blog Ark.
Don't get me wrong , I didn't stop reading it because of content but because of lack of time :/
...plus all those haters there ....
