Question Any Clues from Mother Nature's Boundaries? - 04-17-2007, 04:02 PM

TOE Clues?

What can we make of nature’s occasional revelations that scientists make note of, but may go no further with. Are they telling us something remarkable about reality?


Planck length — What happens, if anything, inside the Plank distance? Is there another reality there?

Size — Is there a limit to how large or how small things can be?

Dreams — Why does the reality of night dreams match that of waking reality? Does this mean reality is projected?

Speed of Light — Why is it limited?

Eternal Substance — How come it is a specific particular thing that works, as opposed to something that didn’t? Whether it manifested from possibility or was always there, what decided its form? Is it like the quantum world suggests, the most probable of all possibilities?

No time like the present — Why does time seem to go so fast when we use the internet? And why does it seem to go so slow in grade school? I used to purposely not look at the clock for a long time in school so that it would have a chance to leap ahead, but it never did. But while on the internet I lit up a cigarette and it seemed to burn out in a matter of seconds.

Living Forever — Perhaps someday humans will live forever, barring fatal accidents. What would be the implications of that? DNA rips at the ends when it divides and replicates 50 times or so during our lives, limiting the damage to junk DNA until that is all gone and our good DNA deteriorates. It is not that simple to fix, but could we just add more junk at the ends and live forever? Not that we wouldn’t break something else by doing so, but suppose it worked eventually.

Everything connected — If everything is connected to everything, as suggested by quantum entanglement, is this a kind of “perception” that we can use?
