Joe,

I like the trick of using the word "am" in a philosophical sense. It seems to me that you are describing the universe as holographic. Is that correct? I will ask a specific question to try to understand better your idea. If I look at you I will see you on a surface and if you look at me you will see me on a surface. Are those the same surface? Is everyone on the same unique surface or are you taking a solipsistic view as Kadin suggested because of the word "am"?

    Dear Andrew Beckwith,

    You, (and all creatures) always had a complete visible surface that appeared to be in a constant state of motion..Each of the dinosaurs always had a complete visible surface as they constantly moved around their misty marshes. There cannot possibly be a finite "law of motion" for only one VISIBLE infinite MOVING surface has ever existed.

    That am about as clear as I can get.

    Dear Philip Gibbs,

    It would be physically impossible for you to ever see a finite me. No matter in which direction you look, you will only ever see a plethora of seamlessly enmeshed flat varied colored filled in outlined surface. I am using the word "am" correctly. E.g. If I state: "It is raining." You have no option but to understand that I had actually said that "It was raining."

    Thank you ever so much for reading my essay, for leaving a comment, and for giving it a rating.

    Dear Fellow Essayists

    This will be my final plea for fair treatment.,

    Reliable evidence exists that proves that the surface of the earth was formed millions of years before man and his utterly complex finite informational systems ever appeared on that surface. It logically follows that Nature must have permanently devised the only single physical construct of earth allowable.

    All objects, be they solid, liquid, or vaporous have always had a visible surface. This is because the real Universe must consist only of one single unified VISIBLE infinite surface occurring eternally in one single infinite dimension that am always illuminated mostly by finite non-surface light.

    Only the truth can set you free.

      Hi Joe,

      Congratulations on your finely developed essay that justifies making everyone wrong. I realize it AM not easy to do this without knowing THE truth.

      I do like a little bit of spam once in a while.

      Thanks for your contribution,

        Dear Don Limuti,

        Thank you ever so much. I lived in Flatbush, Bay Ridge, and Bensonhurst for a number of years and worked for the Brooklyn Union Gas Company and they were the happiest years of my life.

        Hi Joe,

        I grew up in Bensonhurst (Bay Parkway and Cropsey Ave), and went to Lafayette HS, then commuted by 2 trains to CCNY (137th St. in Manhattan). I chose CCNY because they had an engineering program. I studied in the Brooklyn Public Library in Flatbush.

        Only in retrospect do I realize how good CCNY was:

        1. It was free

        2. The professors were super and several wrote the texts we used.

        It annoys me that kids today are getting in debt for inferior educations. My rant is that we need good free higher education.

        Glad to meet someone from the neighborhood!

        I hear your plea for fair treatment Joe. Im sorry you have to plead for such a thing that should be freely given. I haven't read your essay but I will. I identify with you as a man passionate about his ideas about the world :)

          In line with your plea, I re read your essay. Sorry, but, I do not understand a word of it.

          This is not meant as a put down. After you begged me to read it, I did, AGAIN and I came to the same conclusion.

          I wish you luck, and this is not meant as scarcasm

            Steven,

            Thank you ever so much for leaving such a positive comment about my plea for fair treatment.

            Andrew,

            Thank you ever so much for reading my essay and for honestly commenting about it. I thought that FQXi.org was seeking to know if Nature was fundamental. All of my fellow essayists seem to have tried to explain what might be fundamental to physics. For instance, in the abstract of your essay you wrote: "We argue this is the most important fundamental question in physics today, for reasons we elaborate upon in the conclusion." You cannot sensibly have a "most" and least important fundamental situation.

            Thanks for writing Joe..

            I did read this essay and found some sense in it. I can't say I agree with all you wrote. So I can only give you partial credit.

            In my end notes; I wrote that "A stone lifted above the Earth has all its potential energy concentrated in a small volume, where the amount of PE varies with the square of the distance, or height, to which it is lifted. But once the stone is dropped and strikes the Earth; the same energy is spread over a larger volume and shared with a larger object."

            I agree it might have been clearer if I emphasized that it fell onto and struck the larger surface, over which the energy was spread. At least I left room for your viewpoint, in my topic this year.

            All the Best,

            Jonathan
