    "Man, Know Thy 'self'!"

    This knowledge begins with the enquiry "Who am I?" One might indeed be surprised, AHa,[enlightened even] at the destination to which such an enquiry leads.

    Steve, there's no atomic fusion or even atoms. All are fake Dream images with no real functioning beneath the show as presented to you.

    I thought everybody knew that? Lol
    The two appear to go hand in hand, but that could be just that both are beyond knowing (for me) and so a cause and effect between them isn't clear. Creativity and logic don't mix and logic doesn't constrain time either.

    But I think time had to come first and creations arose from or within it. Time was uncreated - creation takes time.

    Basically everything needs to be connected together and creation itself does not do this - creation is diversity and not interconnectedness. Time is the thread that connects everything and it's process is creative.

    Oh wait, I'm probably using the incorrect context here. Yes, there should exist a fixed and timeless form that describes everything that can exist - it's the largest infinite thing and that structure is what I meant to refer to, it's the timeless version of everything - it's a lot like space itself.

    Maybe that's where the confusion is. We then move through that and the creative component arises from the uniqueness of individuals, though just an a infinity is composed of any number of other infinities, an "individual" still contains an unbounded space and inherits whatever creative elements that timeless form contains.

    In many ways though I don't think there's really much of any way to prove a specific view - time, creation and perceptions appear interlinked as a single thing and they can't be separated, they all had to exist for us to be aware of any of it.

    "Different settings and people evoke some qualities from us and leave others dormant. In each of these relationships, we are different, new in some way.
    Absolute prediction and uniformity are, impossible. While this may feel unsettling it certainly makes for a more interesting world. People go from being predictable to being surprising. Each of us is a different person in different places. This doesn't make us unauthentic, it merely makes us quantum. Not only are we fuzzy, the whole universe is.
    One source of universal fuzzieness comes from the fact that elementary matter is inherently two-faced. It possesses two very different manifestations. Matter can be particles, localized points in space; or it can be waves, energy dispersed over a finite volume. Matter's total identity (known as a wave packet) includes potentialities for both forms---particles and waves. This is the Principle of Complimentarity; and at heart, if I may give it a philosophical slant, it speaks of inity expressed as diversity.
    However, these two complimentary aspects of one existence cannot be studied simultaneously as a unified whole. Here, we are thwarted by another principle of quantum physics, Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle. We can measure position, and thus get a fix on the particle aspect; or we can study momentum, and observe the wave. But we can never measure both simultaneously. "While we can measure wave properties or particle properties, the exact properties of duality must always elude any measurement we might hope to make. The most we can hope to know about any given wave packet is a fuzzy reading of its position and an equally fuzzy reading of its momentum."(Zohar 1990, 27). It is this "vast porridge of being" that sucks into its quicksand all our hopes for a deterministic, quantifiable universe. ~Margaret J. Wheatley, "Leadership and The New Science...Learning about Organisation from an Orderly Universe.

    Hi Drifter;

    Glad you're back.

    Thank God for fuzziness, it's that quantum fuzziness which makes up you and I and our visible universe.

    Re: The Best Yet: "Theory of Everything."

    The QM realm has proved, of late,
    To be a fundamentally fuzzy state,
    Virtual pluses and minuses popping out at any old rate;
    That is, there is no cause,
    For there are no hidden variables.
    This is not quite a Nothing,
    But near ‘nothing’.

    Virtual particles may cancel
    And go back into the QM realm.

    If Nothing were exactly zero,
    Then this ‘vacuum’ would not be vague and fuzzy.
    Thus, an absolute Nothing cannot exist.

    Its very definition means that it is not to be,
    That it could not even be there at all.
    So, there were but quantum jitters;
    There was only ‘possibility’ forever.

    Oftentimes, the QM virtual particles
    Spring into existence and vanish quickly,
    Although they can interact and remain real.

    If not, they have to vanish so quickly
    That we cannot directly see them.

    If we could see them, then the QM realm
    Would not be a vacuum, but,
    If they were not there
    The vacuum would be exactly Nothing
    And so it would violate the vague and fuzzy rule.
    None of these happenings are invisible,
    Like the many supernatural claims,
    For the fuzzy ‘nothing’ has effects
    That we can compute and measure.

    So, there is no cause, no purpose!
    Does this make us go into a deep dark funk?
    No, for it is our glory that we are free to be.
    Our responsibility is thus of our own making.

    Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear,
    Fuzzy Wuzzy had no hair,
    Fuzzy Wuzzy wasn't fuzzy, was he?

    Re: The Best Yet: "Theory of Everything."

    LOOK, it's a particle.
    Don't LOOK, it's a wave.
    The point, whether you see it or not?...(perspective)
    There is an unfathomable, ineffible "IS"ness, an uncaused cause, though invisible,which IS not, cannot, be denied.
    In Hinduism that ISness is known as Brahman.
    Some people get it, some people don't...
    Whether you get it or you don't get it...
    You're IT. This is IT. and,
    "That", IS ALL there is.
    Did you but know IT (experientially).

    Re: The Best Yet: "Theory of Everything."

    GUIDANCE
    O God [sic], guide me, protect me, make of me a shining lamp and a brilliant star. Thou art the mighty and the powerful.

    COMFORT
    O God! [sic] Refresh and gladden my spirit. Purify my heart. Illumine my powers. I lay all my affairs in Thy hand. Thou art my Guide and my Refuge. I will no longer be sorrowful and grieved; I will be a happy and joyful being. O God! I will no longer be full of anxiety, nor will I let trouble harass me. I will not dwell on the unpleasant things of life.
    O God! Thou art more friend to me than I am to myself. I dedicate myself to Thee, O Lord.

    Store up not your treasures in this material world
    where they will surely be stolen by a thief-in-the-night (Death).
    Why pine after things of the flesh
    when I have prepared a kingdom
    for you on high (in Heaven).
    Seek Ye first the Kingdom of God (Brahman)
    and all these things shall be added unto thee.

    What's "REALLY IMPORTANT" after all?
    The finite, gone in the blink of the eye?
