Events Take Place, Not Space

Events Take Place, Not Space
An electric shock or a George Bush or a tsunami or a republic or a Himalayan mountain range, everything and anything is just an ‘event’ taking place in this universe. In a continuum such as this universe, an event keeps happening non-stop, its name changing with the perspective of the observer.
The observable universe, thus itself, is a big cumulative event.
Events don’t take space. I am putting forth this thought knowing well that neither the scientific minds nor the laity will take it kindly. But to me it seems clear that events take place in space without occupying any space. When any event takes place, there remains no place left for that moment at that point. Overlapping or the simultaneity of events causes the change in event which is then known by different names though deep down it is a never ending event or say a series of events. Space however remains unaffected and unoccupied of an event or the series of events.
Space remains same as it was before the piece of event, during it or after it has happened. Space is not the field, the place or the void where events occur. The three dimensional classical space or four dimensional relativistic spacetime as we have known so far is perhaps a multidimensional or probably a dimensionless ‘idea’ we get while observing a three-dimensional event taking place.
My grandma died in the year 1975 and I saw the event of her death occurring. That event is still there somewhere in spatial context. The sad piece of event, therefore, can’t take place again, thank God!
That event is just about to happen for an observer X, 32 light years away from here. From my perspective my grandma is dead; she is yet to die for my friend X. Most importantly, she is alive as well as dead from ‘God’s point of view’. At the very place she died and in my mind, several events have happened post her death and that is the reason I can’t really see my grandma live again.
Coming to the point, whatever has happened in this universe is not gone out of it. It is still happening from somewhere for someone. The events which are yet to happen for us have also already occurred from someone’s or at least God’s perspective.
How can then the infinite number of events happening for billions of years and the events which are going to happen for billions of years can remain intact in this universe without crowding it.
The answer is simple. Events take place, not space.
Events in this universe are like two-dimensional patches of light and shadows in a three-dimensional room. Those lights and shadows can never fill up the room.

beautiful.

beautiful.

I know you are, but what am I.

Gautam;

You are right and Sally is correct, a very beautiful way of expressing the truth.

Best,

To some extent I have to agree with you

Not really crazy about your god reference

Nor your buddy X

I think you are using two systems (that oppose each other) in your piece.

A sort of Idealist/Figmental approach coupled with a smattering of materialism

not to mention the creationism ...well that makes three systems.

Those systems are incompatible. I say this in a kind way (no offence intended)

Thanx for your honest remarks, Rufe.
You have really taken those two references,seriously. Let me make my thought on creationism more clear.
Mankind will always be indebted to 'manmind' for its fabulous discoveries and inventions. But man's original creations are only two and the second to God is Zero. If you think of third please let me know.
I staunchly believe in God 's religion and that is 'science'

Thanks Pat,
'Tatvamsi' You too is me. Ahm Brahmasmi- I am the universe.
Universe of mind is the universe we are existing in. The observer is always there as a part of the physical reality.
