light lighter lightest

[AntonioLao]

Both cosmology and the Bible agree that light is the beginning of everything. Analogously, where and when an intelligent being formulate an idea in the arts or sciences it started bright then brighter then brightest. Where and when a mortal being has to bear a physical burden before the Industrial Revolution the only option is to acquire a beast of burden (horse, elephant, or oxen). Then the advancement of science and technology allows heavy loads on everyone’s shoulder to become light, lighter, and now lightest.

However, in a certain respect the replacement of sweat and blood with cold and lifeless machines somehow allow the emergence of another aspect of human intelligence that grows dark, darker, and darkest (e.g. the Joker in the movie Dark Knight), making the progress of human civilization slow, slower, and slowest while moving machines become fast, faster, and fastest. The fear of increasing speed somehow is responsible for the widespread preference of owning SUVs instead of compact vehicles. And in the airline industries forced the supersonic Concorde SST out of business http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supersonic_transport. Therefore when speed increases the weight of objects must also increase in accordance with the principle of special relativity such that cars become heavy, heavier, and heaviest. The heaviest objects found in the universe are those unseen blackholes. They do not move but cause the surrounding spacetime structures to warp into a naked singularity of zero physical dimensions.

Light then may well be a fundamental reality of the physical universe,incorporating within
its matrix that of consciousness too.

I hoping to live to see the day where and when electricity is replaced by photonicity.

Antonio,

If you live to see 2018 then you just might!

That is really something to think about!

It's like seeing light at the end of the tunnel.

Maybe "Machines" created the universe. Then we are a product of AI. We are programs, players in a well constructed game that make free choices. Though, our free choices are measured and are limmited to the parameters of the program. Our goal is to realize the truth.

So, light and darkness are the limits of what we can see and visualize, without realizing to greater truth. Just short of the truth about AI, we see only the light of creation.

Maybe "Machines" created the universe.

It is the other way around: the living universe created the lifeless machines. Using elementary particles, the bosons created the fermions.

That may only be an illusion. Life itself may be without form and substance until the program initiates it. Using elementary particles, AI constructs the universe. Life's DNA encoding is programmed as are the laws of nature. Maybe we, as living beings, are arrogant enough to say we created AI, when it may be the other way around.

Life itself may be without form

But as an experenced programmer, I can vouch for the fact that form and structure are equivalent. And as far as structured programming language like C++ or the primitive Fortran or Pascal or PL1 there are 4 structures; sequence, iteration, selection, and interrupt all presupposed the existence of data structures such as queue, linked list, stack, tree, and of course the pointers.
