Breaking the Code of Infromation by William Amos Carine

Vladimir R.,

Your comment is too kind, yet thank you for the wish of luck and looking into it philosophically. I look forward to reading your essay, and am sure it will be enjoyable!

Best,

W.A.C.

Hai,

Thank you for linking your essay to mine in favor of the common interest of a reader.

Hello Ryan,

The code I was vaguely identifying was the idea that all physics comes from information and that if we figure out how and what that information transfers, then we would better understand pur laws, and perhaps come up with a few more. So if this ties into the sequence mentioned, I do not have the mathematical skills or haunch to boast about it, though it may be likely that there is some link.

And it is a great piece of artwork, so expressive in its plain use of color and shading. The artist girl has talent. I'm sure you could send her a fb request and say you saw a drawing in my essay, to see more of her work.

Hoping you take care,

W. Amos Carine.

Antony,

That sounds like a very interesting bit of argumentation. I'll have to read your essay and look for references for the outside-the-contest papers.

Is a singularity different than a boundary? Boundaries seem unnatural to any view of the world which try's to encapsulate the whole of nature in one picture like physics does. This is the boundary of a line or point. One of the beauties of relativity in its general form is that the boundary or line between our universe and empty space, envisaged in old Newtonian schemes, is the disappearance of the end of the universe boundary line. Instead, light bends around the edges of the universe, it never "goes on forever" or to infinity (and beyond!). So the natural question arises, are blackholes an "edge" or are they mapped out by physical, geometrical means. Also, is the inside of a black hole uniform, or is that a silly question because, by contraction of figures to their plane form by S.R., the edges really get compacted to a stop in this scenerio. Either way, I think the finite yet unbound view concerning light paths and the presence of black bodies solved for by G.R. give physicists two clues.

Dear Hai,

Thank you for your emphatic argumentation. You set up a mighty defense. I find it tough to wage charges on relativity in physical theory when its road has not been taken to its rightful end. It's an argument against a group of theories which acknowledge their incompleteness. It is good enough to be aware of these problems and try to resolve them. Also, stressing strict determinism has negative effects for a realistic approach. It seems like an inner mental vein which feeds on itself and takes up human resources for contemplation of other problems, and hence the "whole picture."

Hope the research works out for you, but I have no applicability of ideas in this submission for the essay contest.

Hello Jim,

That would be quite the feat! I have read through some that interest me by title or subject, and always try to return the favor of those who have read and commented here. My thinking is that if others have interest, it in their work will likely be reciprocated by me. The essay batch content seems to be quite relevant to what is going on in physics outside of the contest as well. The essays I see on this contest have topics that come up in more journal-like papers, and those papers often hint at ideas discussed in these essays. So to this end, I will give it a look.

Best of luck with the reading,

W. Amos Carine.

Hello Manuel,

I'm delighted that you enjoyed the example with the addition of the excellent art by Marie Taylor! Your interest in this contest is appreciated, both here and elsewhere, I'm sure! Any email will get to me at carine.5@wright.edu

Best,

Amos Carine.

I'll be sure to try to answer any questions there.

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.

Maria!

Thanks for sharing those reading suggestions! I'll add the first three to my agenda for tomorrow, and maybe get to the others as well or within a few days. I thank you for putting effort into selecting essays that I may find interesting or relevant. Since I've been wondering about how I'll prioritize any in the whole list and have not come to any sensible way to do so, your suggestions come as a blessing. The computer modeled evolution simulations sound quite cool.

Well thanks again and yes, if something just pops out of the page at me that I think may also interest you, I'll let you in :).

Earnestly,

Amos.
