Dear Ben:

Indeed your Causal Configuration Space and the whole causal approach are indeed paralel with my perceptions of causality, if it is observed in our way simultaneity gets a whole different load. I thank you for your constructive post, and will certainly read Alain Connes, and the essays you mentioned that I had not yet read, the discussion continues. It is wonderfull how a contest like this one is giving a platform for all kind of thoughts and indeed by putting together some of them a new perception is created.

Dear (uncle) Hoang,

I do not understand the essence of your last post.

It seems that you understood very well my essay as iin your post of september 20.

It makes me worry about your free speech.

We agree with the last sentence.

Wilhelmus

If you do not understand why your rating dropped down. As I found ratings in the contest are calculated in the next way. Suppose your rating is [math]R_1 [/math] and [math]N_1 [/math] was the quantity of people which gave you ratings. Then you have [math]S_1=R_1 N_1 [/math] of points. After it anyone give you [math]dS [/math] of points so you have [math]S_2=S_1+ dS [/math] of points and [math]N_2=N_1+1 [/math] is the common quantity of the people which gave you ratings. At the same time you will have [math]S_2=R_2 N_2 [/math] of points. From here, if you want to be R2 > R1 there must be: [math]S_2/ N_2>S_1/ N_1 [/math] or [math] (S_1+ dS) / (N_1+1) >S_1/ N_1 [/math] or [math] dS >S_1/ N_1 =R_1[/math] In other words if you want to increase rating of anyone you must give him more points [math]dS [/math] then the participant`s rating [math]R_1 [/math] was at the moment you rated him. From here it is seen that in the contest are special rules for ratings. And from here there are misunderstanding of some participants what is happened with their ratings. Moreover since community ratings are hided some participants do not sure how increase ratings of others and gives them maximum 10 points. But in the case the scale from 1 to 10 of points do not work, and some essays are overestimated and some essays are drop down. In my opinion it is a bad problem with this Contest rating process. I hope the FQXI community will change the rating process.

Sergey Fedosin

    Dear Segey,

    Thank you for the concern,

    I also read your answers on the thread of James Dwyer, and understood that you thought that ratings were added up, I think it is normal that an average is taken of all the ratings as is FQXi doing now.

    I agree with James, me too I am very bad with formula's, just a retired architect now plunging in phylosophy and quantum physics.

    It is not my aim to win, however a little prize of some dollars would be very wellcome, my retirement is a minimum, but I am happy.

    I hope you can rate my essay the way that you liked it.

    Thanks for the attention

    Hallo Wilhelmus,

    You wrote:

    Time is emerging only in our consciousness.

    However, what is your idea about my oacillating atom clock at my wrist?

    Leo.

      Hi Wilhelmus,

      You make some interesting and profound observations in your well written essay. I hope science will be able someday to tell more about consciousness, which, to my opinion, is the deepest and most important mystery. Good luck!

      Cristi Stoica

        Dear Leo,

        The "clock" around your wrist may be an atomic clock, but it stays a frequency measurement instrument, like any clock.

        Frequencies are references for us to make measurements (observations that we can compare with other observations).

        So whatever frequency you are taking you always are bringing it back to your understandable universe of meters and yards, hours and seconds.

        All these entities that we agreed upon (SI base units) are created so that we can compare and economically be in time on our work.

        So it is not the clock that is the creator of time, time is creted in your mind, the past has gone, the future does not yet exist (as a measurable entity) and the "now" is already in tha past pnce we are "aware" of it.

        We are creating special recognition points in order to "grab" the time dimension, like days, months, years, our anniversaries, you pay cheques, the special days in your life that were in past and celebrate them in the future so that you can "measure" the time untill ... (measuring the future).

        All this is because we are living in a causal universe, where there is a before and an after, our consciousness is elaborating these experiences and so creating the flow of time.

        The ultimate frequency of our universe is 5.39121 x 10^44 /sec.

        If you have a wrist watch like that you will understand how long a second can be.

        Wilhelmus

        Thank you Christi for your encouragement. The strange thing is that on one side science is aware of the fact that consciousness is the origin of reality (collapse of wave function) and on the other side it is still a subject that abstract and about "metaphysics", it cannot be caught in formula's (yet?)

        Wilhelmus

        Hello Wilhelmus,

        This is in response to a query made on my blog.

        1. I favor "I am, therefore I think". However, the phrase: "Cogito ergo Spud, I think therefore I Yam" is much more humorous.

        2. I do think the Planck length is a limit, but it is not a quantization on space, it is a limit on wavelength. A wavelength can start on any point of space, but can only have wavelengths greater than a Planck length.

        3. Oops, I did not mean to infer that light is a mass. It has an energy but this energy always propagates at c. Mass also has an energy that moves at c, but it resonates within a Compton wavelength. I did not mean to say that light has mass.

        4. Reference of reference: A great way to refer to the measurement problem.

        5. The observer is always at the bottom of the reference of reference chain and is "you".

        6. The Reference of Reference is You. Is correct.

        7. You make a measurement using light (or energy).

        8. All the energy in the universe is in your frame of reference. It comes and goes with you.

        9. How can that be?

        a. Light is a Planck instant (h times Planck length) that repeats. Two Planck instants make a photon.

        b. During the Planck length the velocity of light is 0. This means the physical manifestation of light is in your frame of reference.

        c. After the Planck instant the speed of light is c (the speed of space-time) which continues until the next Planck instance. The light is not in existence at this time, but the Planck instance will appear again.

        10. All light is in your frame of reference! That is why you always measure it as having a velocity c. Moving objects need not be in your frame of reference. And space-time adjusts to accomodate this.

        11. What about somebody else? They also measure the speed c for light.

        12. We are all locked to a common reference frame provided by light (energy).

        13. This is a back of the envelope proof for "the reference of reference is you",

        14. You are the observer and all measurements are locked to you.

        Can I give my essay idea to you? I get headache thinking about "What is a Thought that a man may know it".

        It has been super being in this contest with you.

        Don L.

          Dear Don,

          Thanks for your post, about your idea for the essay : "What is a THOUGHT that a man may know it ?". It gives me already Thoughts. It is just like the so called "collapse" of a wave function, this "moment" is unknown (if it is in the Planck length and time then we are wittnesses of creation every "time", (I will work that out with the TS perception), before it was a wave and after a particle with mass etc, is this the way our "thoughts" originate, I do not know (yet), but I am thinking...

          let us continue our conversation, it gives me ideas, thank you.

          I wrote: However, what is your idea about my oacillating atom clock at my wrist?

          I wanted to stress that time is indeed subjected to local circumstances as Lorentz transformations so time is only "local time"

          Leo.

          Beste Leo

          The reference of refernce is YOU.

          Your consciousness is the center of the Subjective Simultaneity Sphere, your local experience sphere, so also your local time experience.

          Wilhelmus

          Hi Wilhelmus,

          Our conversation gives me ideas to. I have had the most amazing revelation, and I am blaming you!

          So, thanks for having the best essay in this contest.

          The Reference of Reference is You!

          Don L.

            Dear Don,

            Thank you for your encouragement and I really await your next work.

            It's time to start thinking and general awareness study. What is consciousness anyway? It can be said that this is a singularity, completely isolated from all possible material and physical characteristics. It is a spiritual "ether" that meets the holographic universe infinitely connected nodes where the flow of information and a variety of power and infinite in size, speed, strength and l everything else.

            Awareness in our body is just routine logoid awareness.

            Awareness of our human beings grow only when we try to clarify the true causes of the phenomena around us. Our free will is tried all the allegations in paragraphs our perceptual senses and instincts. In mastering our mind, as a creator of our dreams and big brakes on the growth of consciousness, awareness selecting what was originally a full time recipient of our "achievements"

            Logoid consciousness creates the universe from the "dark" entities in the universe.

            The entire universe and everything in it is the work logoid consciousness.

            We must not confuse the universe with the cosmos. Cosmos is the only part of the universe manifested in the form of matter and energy, is expanding and we can examine it, while the invisible part of the universe we can understand only by intuition, as subprogram of our consciousness.

              Hello Mr Milovic,

              Nice to know you. I like your words, they are relevant. The aether is connected with the singularities. The singularity is complex in fact. We have an infinite light above our physicality(the physical sphere in evolution).We can say that it is the Aether. We can say also that it is a singularity without motion and temporality.without times and dimensions so, and without rotations so of these spheres of light. This infinte light without motion above our walls can be indeed considered like a cosmos consciousness. This light is infinite and the physicality, it, is a finite system in evolution. A sphere and its spheres, quant. and cosmol.

              So the serie of uniqueness is essential considering the physicality. The spheres of light so possesse also the singularities due to their central spheres.The biggest volumes. The infinite light above the walls so is connected indeed with the central sphere, quanti and cosmological. The BB can be seen like the begining of a kind of multiplication of the serie of uniqueness.This serie of uniqueness so was a fractalization of the main sphere of light.Giving so a serie , specific of spheres, the volumes decerasing. the number increasing.The rotations so imply the specificity, so the properties, the rules. The informations are from this infinite light and connected with the central spheres.The singularities so are linked with the quantic singularities and also the cosmological singularity , and also so with the infinite singularity without dimension, times and motion. The fact that this infinity is infinite is relevant considering the future universal sphere and its potential of infinity. We are still youngs at the universal scale. The infinite singularity of pure light creates a physical sphere and its spheres. My equations are relevant considering the serie of uniqueness.See that this number is the same for the number of spheres and the number of spheres of a quantum uniqueness. The volumes , spherical become so universal keys like their rotations spinal and orbital.

              It is fascinating.

              The free will of an aware and conscious human is so universal when the consciousness is harmonized in correlation of this Universality. To be or not to be after all. we are simple humble tools of harmlonization spherization optimization of this Universal sphere. The sphere is a project of this infinite light in fact.... The free will is not a play, this free will must be universal in fact simply.

              Thanking you

              Regards

              Nicola :

              You bring in a new perception of the awareness of "ether". It is almost a poetical expression the way you touch it. I am still interpreting it in my perceptions.

              Is your "logoid consciousness" the same as my causal consciousness ?

              Thank you for opening our minds

              Wilhelmus

              Steve :

              Thank you for a mind-opening post. Good to see you here, I awaited already a long time your appreciated opinion.

              Wilhelmus

              Hello Mr. De Wilde,Mr.Milovic,

              You are welcome. Thank you also for your nice answer. You know when I am not parano, I like a lot discussing about our pure universal sphere.

              I am trying to be less parano. It is difficult due to all the probelms that I have in Belgium. I have lost 12000 fuchsias due to bad people. Since more than 9 years I have problems and anybody helps us. I don't understand what is this comportment. I could create a lot of jobs in my country.but no,I am disgusted by years of probelms.Even the house of my mother, they want to take it for January.I have a house of 140000 euros, I have debts of 35 000 euros more still 30 000 euros for my house. But with my bankrupcy due to bad people, I cannot solve this probelm. I have the solution but I cannot put it into practice. I become more crazy that I am in fact with all my probelms. Even a job I don't have you know.I am isolated at home with my probelms in fact.I am tired psychologically speaking.

              Fortunally I have faith in this infinite light. Fortunally for my spiritual health.It helps when you suffer a lot. It helps to accept simply.we are all in the boat after all.

              Regards

              dear Steve;

              I am aware already for one year and a half of your "material" problems, and from time to time your "parano" posts indicate that you are "under water", the bubbles of your conversation come from under water and we only hear a lot of disturbance.

              Your spirit is very powerfull as is shown is your answer to Nicola. What worries me the most is that your mother is involved in the problems, she merits happy times now.

              I cannot help you, I am just a retired one with only the Dutch AOW, but I am also happy that with my chickens, ducks and garden can create food that is 100% okay. If once you are travelling in France you are welcome to visit.
