Last week when I was on the scotch I decided to get some fun out of talking to myself and started to respond to something Pincho said last week.
[You just have to accept that nothing doesn't come from anywhere. Two particles create nothing, they don't need to come from anywhere]
You have no basis for saying that.
Via extrapolation of everything I’ve seen, via correlation, I can know that everything physical is caused. People say that “Correlation does not imply causation” – but ultimately it does. We can only identify or name things via the memory creating links with what it already knows. What we first know, what the correlational foundation is, are memories resulting from sensations identified by recurrence.
Your theory is just wrong dude. Your theory is my theory from a few years ago, I think my theory pre this version of the Genius forum.
I used to believe that it was logically necessary for there to be two underlying forces that would create the holes and cogs you speak of. They were essentially non-dimensional ie emptiness, but purely due to the fact they were opposite, they were absolutely polarised, thus both infinite and still bounded.
They were bounded by the necessary existence of the opposite. This combination of infinity (which being nameable is an effect thus also a cause), and this infinity being bounded, as in made finite, by the negationary opposite pole factor, resulted in the necessary possibly of expansion (your cog) into “emptiness” (your hole).
Nothing can happen unless there is the freedom for it to happen. Even though causality clearly exists, it is an effect of what already exists, “it is the past”, it is not the other side, it not what it has the freedom to become. This freedom to become is time.
What I eventually realised though is that duality is built into the Oneness, duality is built into, is intrinsic within non-duality. The Oneness is expansion, and the ultimate affect of this is for us to sense this as time passing.
So you ask, What is Expanding?
I say, how the fuck would I know. It doesn’t really matter. All you have to understand it that it must be something, and something alone, that is expanding. This is not an expansion by stretching, but one by creation of more of the same.
The problem with your theory is that at the fundamental level you have cogs and holes with multiple properties. Everything with multiple properties is divisible ie made of parts. You cannot have a shape without parts inside that shape holding that shape. You cannot have a shape form from nothing, it must evolve. All Form is an effect, that is it is an outcome of causality (thing mixing via an equalisation process). The curves in the holes are complexity, a multiplicity of forces are shaping the holes and cogs. These things have multiple properties – they were caused.
What follows is me going off on my Time theory, yet again
Calling expansion “Time” does not require invoking multiple properties.
Until just now I thought Time had a speed limit on the rate of expansion, and that that was a threat to my theory that time=expansion, as it would mean that there were two properties - both expansion + a speed limit on that expansion, a boundary on that expansion. I forgot about relativity [Edit: actually maybe I didn't forgot, might have just forgot I'd already thought of this]. I did say that the speed of times expansion was relative to the past, but I did not take it further and realise that this form of relativity is absolute. The speed of time will always give measurements of being constant, although it must always be slowing (albeit slowing relative to infinity - so not slowing other than from a fixed frame of reference). By expanding it is slowing (on a net basis) as it is continually creating more of what it expanded from. This is an internal boundary. From observation we can see that no thing can occupy the same territory as another thing, without causing both things to change form. We can extrapolate and say this is a necessary outcome of “nature’.
This means that what already exists is a boundary for Expansion/Time. What already exists is a place it cannot occupy without merging and where it already exists it has both a back (what it expanded from) and a forward boundary (the most current continuous expansion, the virginity of now) to merge with.
This is where finiteness becomes intrinsic within the concept of non-duality.
The temporariness of things does not make finitenesss of lesser stature logically speaking than infinity. Rather it proves that finiteness is as intrinsic as infinity.
All that is intrinsic is of equal importance.
The finiteness we observe is a slowing down of the flow of the universe.
The universe is quantified both at the macro and micro level, but not at the casual level. The action of expansion intrinsically creates smaller-bigger, thus the effects will have the same basic level attribute, amplified by each layer of complexity.
The very most basic concept of the big bang is correct. One just has to reorganise that mental fucker into being an endless spectrum of bangs.
No thing can affect another without there being a causal connection between them.
Expansion is only ever expansion, but it is still caused, by itself in this case. If the sole property of Expansion is expansion, then that means that what it expanded from is no different than what it expands to become. Ie it is still expanding within. Bringing into the equation the fact of observable quantum commonality differentiated by spatial territory, as is separation resulting in a lessening of direct causality, to me one could then conclude that firstly external shells are created, and then, those shells must periodically be broken and reform with different form.
The total most recent layer of expansion of the growing universe occurs within an already fragmented universe, thus it is indistinguishable from “cause and effect”. So it has been always, but lets pretend that was not the case, as is currently the prevailing view within science. Which is: Non-existence – point – broken point – expanding many points and waves – gravity - evolution.
With my theory the first cause issue is a total furphy. It is the same whether it (impossibly) started from nothing (lol) or is continuous. It happens now and that is all that counts. The nature of all things is to expand from within. There is no gravity there is just differences in the rate of expansion, combined with differences in the way quantum levels equalise due to fewer emergent properties.
The totality is a bursting bubble universe. Particles evolve, every thing evolves.
