Marina,
I'm glad you enjoyed my comments. I will read the essays you said were interesting, and am sure I'll find them to be myself as well! It is hard to find more important or relevant ones out of the many terrific essays submitted, so a tip off or lead in the right direction is useful. You must have read a lot of papers and other materials before submitting. I didn't do all of my homework, and didn't look at a single essay until I wrote up the mine, minus little bits of editing that I did afterwards. So I was on the other end of getting a feel for the essays by writing beforehand, and now I'm thinking I could have said a few other things. For example, the idea of information being embedded in spacetime is fascinating, as in planets or comets leaving a trail of information that says "I was here," and I'm not entirely sure how that idea translates into physical thoughts, but I think it's worth my time thinking about (my time isn't worth a lot). Also, there is the notion that when there is more information, say which is describing a body away from a mass, it goes faster than if the body is described less adequately. Or rather, if one gets a more detailed view with more information, then what is viewed is increasingly expanded. It's based on the assumption that so much mass, which corresponds to so much space, or a body's motion through it, is a gradient that doesn't change with gravity, or expansion, which must both be described by the same means.
And about the increasing uncertainty with more and more time occurring from a 'moment' I just meant that at some point the adding up effect, if you will, of one probability to another and so on would would appear to make the progression of time carry more uncertainty as viewed from that initial point, but could still be combined with the fact that light has a pretty good memory for info (it's not dragging it's feet and muttering to the ground). This wasn't stated, and it was wrong of me to think the reader would catch the unwritten part of the sentence, which with its not excusable lack of clarity hung out somewhere in-between the lines above the words. But to the sense in which I spoke, disregarding the unstated particulars, I don't put faith in beliefs alone, I try to let nature speak. Ultimately it does not matter what we believe if it is wrong, as is the case here with me since time progression does not diminish lights information.
Thanks for the positive notes :-). I have to have some thoughts "out there" to keep me turning on cozy nights.
