Essay Abstract

What if Einstein was still with us to share his wisdom and experience with troubled humanity? He had strong opinions about three core issues affecting our future: world peace and the threat of nuclear war, social inequality, and the Israel/Palestine problem...

Hi Vladimir,

Very funny essay which kept me smiling from reading the title to the last paragraph! Well done on some excellent illustrations too. Very enjoyable and an easy read.

    Thank you Alan and Kimmo

    I am glad you smiled that was intended. But perhaps I covered the pill with too much sugar!

    Vladamir, It is good to have a light essay to deliver such an important message.

    I have a technical question. If Einstein is hoping to roll sixes with his tesseracts, what are the seventh and eighth sides labelled with?

    Hello Phillip

    I neither know craps nor 4-dimensional geometry - but I would guess complex number dots!

    Vladimir

      Mr. Tamari,

      I found your essay a delightful read. I do hope that it scores quite highly in the competition for it certainly deserves to do so.

      Vladimir,

      I'll do one better than Joe Fisher, I hope you win! The answer seems so obvious when one truly meditates on the nature of things . . .

      It is a good expression dear Vladimir, that is the reality. Anyhow we may have to derive some parameters to steer the future scientific developments and to regulate technological advancements in humanity. I think the ultimate direction of developments is to be for better healthcare on humanity. As the developments in Biological sciences is fully depends on the developments in Physical sciences, we may have to be much responsible in declaring our findings on Nature's laws and principles, while steer the future.

      In relevant to this, time paradox seems to have most profound impact, causal by the defective steering of the past in Physical science developments. Thus we may have to steer the future physical sciences while presuming the Universe in Continuum rather than in Corpuscularianism.

        Thank you so much Joe and Wesley!

        And thank you Jayakar, I think you have to expand your ideas in an essay for this year's 2014 faqxi completion.

        Best to all of you

        Vladimir

        I'm happy to see your essay here Vladimir,

        I'm also eager to read what you have written. Judging by the comments, and glancing at the opening page, it looks like it will be a lot of fun to read.

        More later,

        Dear Vladimir!

        I liked your essay. That is witty, enjoyable to read, has much wisdom how and why the things are unfortunately going wrong so much times.

        Einstein however having had - I told them so much, but they even had done ... it had not a matter of me ... I'd already passed over into Heaven ...- attitude.

        I'm curious;

        1. What if Einstein should get a chance to rethink and resolve - How can a theory in physics apply to moral values?

        Because he said:

        ."...I just dealt with the relative effects of motion on observers moving in different inertial frames in space and time

        ... And in any case the future is in time, an element of spacetime - and that is dependent on the observer in the frame of reference...

        ...The absence of an absolute spacetime frame of reference does not mean there are no absolute philosophical ethical standards for humanity."

        2. Whether what did the Exalted Personage tell him about the Dark matter, and even Dark energy not dealing with so much about mathematics but in a probable connection with the doubt and stupidity? Should it help humanity to steer his destiny yet?

        3. Asking Exalted Personage - So, if they feel religion has failed, why do they turn to physics only for answers?

        Jesus: Tell people to love and forgive one another, even their enemies.

        (Unfortunately, the love alone is not quite enough to do the things almost well done. The forgiving is a high standard requirement, and the hardest may be one to forgive himself.)

        Shakespeare is right. (I agree.. our fate is not in the stars but in ourselves, and presumably one need to swim.. at least keeping afloat on waves.. and not struggling in swirls. :)

        Jesus: They are clever enough to figure out the rest!

        --------------------------------------------------------------

        I agree too, with Jayakar Johnson Joseph's concept. I feel also the 'physics' need to be matured and swimmingly interconnected with else fields of natural sciences, as a continuity of our healthy knowledge about our life and our inner-outer universe. I feel Einstein knows well he was once and presumably will be "... in any case the future is in time, an element of spacetime - and that is dependent on the observer in the frame of reference..."

        --------------------------------------------------------------

        Vladimir, glancing over abstracts of your papers put for previous FQXi contests, I feel you are putting together them into this one.

        You wrote, "..There is a Cloud of Unknowing obscuring the true nature of Reality because... in the channel or medium they pass through until they are finally observed at macroscopic scales. A similar Cloud obscures Reality when these experimental results are subjected to fallible logical and mathematical analysis. There is a necessity to examine our philosophy of knowing..." , I agree!

        I suggest to think you within your present body, and presumably you may do further studying Gariaev's Brief introduction into WaveGenetics.

        Best wishes, and further good works for you.

          Thank you Jonathan, looking forward to your essay.

          Thank you Gyenge,

          Every one of the issues raised in the sentences you quoted, and also in the ideas you wrote about or referred to needs to be examined further and coordinated in a practical way so that we can continue to live and work in a new way, free of meaningless restrictions based on a misunderstanding of our nature and that of the world around us. But do we really have time for that? Can the sort of problems my story-Einstein and Co. are concerned with wait the judgement of science and possible acceptance of WaveGenetics (for example, or even my Beautiful Universe Theory) ? More urgent political action with the rough and ready tools humanity has here and now is the best we can do in the present and developing crisis.

          Vladimir

          Dear Vladimir!

          Connecting your posts written on my essay site and here...

          I can deeply understand your stance "I would rather ...and leave to more specialised researchers like you the larger questions... ".

          However, you write here "...we can continue to live and work in a new way...But do we really have time for that? Can the sort of problems my story-Einstein..."

          I do not want to bother you with too much information...

          But I think, you are a more specialised researcher than me, and also due to your story and deep empathy with Einstein...I feel a need to write these lines to you now.

          My only catalysing task should be to draw to your attention, the political crisis on present physical Earth comes from much rather an ideology based war.

          So what is urgent to reinstate the thoughts about our ideology seeing a healthy world or taking a necessary rough and ready tools humanity actions? (As Einstein meditated ...whom would you presume to place at the helm... and how about his role and why the H-bomb was necessary to set in before Hitler should have done that... This all about 'time-travel' truly there is not rocket involved ;)

          How else if not one of Einsteins can understand this?

          Do you think really there are calm and peace in Heaven?

          Can be an idealized Heavenly peace reached on Earth? (e.g by The Cancellation of Diffraction in Wave Fields making a beautiful Universe by Fixing Physics. Perhaps printing 3d guns need to be prevented, however every invention can entail its counter effect ) Or "do we hope doing new life start on some other planet or star, merely transplanting our possible stupid mistakes somewhere else...?"

          Its understanding is time-space, space-time separated yet in ones' higher and lower mind. Therefore ones cannot express this coherently using a given actual genetic sets arranged by a given space-time framework. As Einstein said - ...that could be dependent on the observers in the frame of reference.

          Unfortunately, because man is able to create as a result he can change his own life supporting form. Thus there is a risk truly to transform a planet to be something else. But, that is also one's abstract view point this transformation is put into an else frame of reference i.e. creating meanings of else stars systems or planets, or all may happen in same space and no time.

          On my essay illustration one can see the lower mind (123 folds) attached to an actual arrangement of bodily gene set with a given bodyIDl. The (567 folds) represents one's higher mind also attached to same bodyIDh, [this is why one's head cannot be so crudely attached to someone else body:)] There is a separation between 4-8,9 states [dividing the factually two 3-fold i.e branes or world volumes. Btw, should the cyclic model by Steinhardt-Turok speak about this using a very physical language set ?) Additionally: ."..in special relativity Elsewhere is the region between the two light cones. Points in an observer's elsewhere are inaccessible to her/him;the elsewhere is thick; it is not a 3-dimensional volume but is instead a 4-dimensional spacetime region. Included in "elsewhere" is the simultaneous hyperplane, which is defined for a given observer by a space which is hyperbolic-orthogonal to her/his world line. It is really three-dimensional. The present often means the single spacetime event being considered. Where ones' bodyIDl and bodyIDh presumably vibrate at same level and it should be extended by a general meaning as a collision between two branes as 3d parallel worlds, but not creating destructive singularity.

          in general relativity: World lines of free-falling particles or objects (such as planets around the Sun or an astronaut in space) are called geodesics...World line. (2014) Retrieved 25 Feb 2014, from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_line. So, go to Buckmister Fuller and his Spaceship Eart concept without a rocket. :))]

          I do not know how you can contribute more to help the ideological development in your present life or wishes a new life one of yours, but I can see glancing over your personal site you have already vast specialised knowledge!!!

          In what I'm sure we can continue to live and work in a new way...

          But do we really have time for that?

          Yes, we have as much time as we give or create for ourselves something to be almost well done. Because the time is not a natural things but a created one. Presumably, we need times only to apprehend we should act balanced in our PRESENT moment!

          My only role is to push forward and catalysing the process of our understanding for every one of present us acting optimally balanced in his place right on Earth in the NOW!

          Dear sridattadev kancharla a.k.a. I

          Thank you for your loving message of appreciation.

          Your mathematical paradoxes (or deep truths?) are amusing.

          With best wishes

          Vladimir

          Dear Vladimir,

          An interview with Einstein is an interesting concept! (and thank you for the reply to my comment here)

          i joined the contest this year and you can read it here. i do hope you would make some comments to my essay and theory by Einstein.

          more later,

            Hi Vladimir,

            What a wonderfully imaginative idea -- and with your exquisite paintings. I had hoped before the reporter was sent away he'd gotten to ask how many more they have room for up there -- or should humans steer into the future with a lower birth rate on Earth.

            always with great admiration,

            Ken

            Dear Kenneth

            Thank you so much for your kind words.

            I should have had somebody mention overcrowding!

            I am not sure how much room they have up there, but after a long life I am sure there will be a luxury suite reserved just for you - complete with wifi - so send me an email to wherever I end up!

            eternal admiration

            Vladimir
