Hi Mr Johnstone,Mr Smith ,all,
Interesting point of vue .You know I like the works of all here on FQXi ,with different points of vue ,this one is relevant about the relativity .But Of course all people have theirs opinions and perceptions of our Universe and its laws .
We need an international system for our unities I think and fortunally it exists .
I my memmory is correct ,
The second is the duration of 9 192 631 770 periods in the fundamental stete of the Cesium 133 thus we see this periodicity ,the stability of the oscillations .If I take the energy the Joule (k/s²m²)thus the needed energy to apply a force of 1 kg/s² thus 1 Newton on 1 meter or a P of 1 Watt during 1 second .Or Still the necessary energy to move an electric q of 1 Coulomb in an U (RI)of 1 Volt .....
all is linked by these constants .
If we insert the thermodynamics laws ,invariances ,coherences ,general relativity ,quantum mechanic ,always our fundamentals harmonious constants ,these periodical oscillation .........
If we take the cosmological unities like the al=9.460 730 472 5808 10^15 m which =63 241.077 10 ua=0.306 601 393 87 pc thus the distance of the light in 1 Julian year in a space Time empty .
We have always our constants in our physical laws .If we go towards the Planck scale ,limits ,it's there what Einstein said all was indeed in a specific state where the time and space are near the unknew just at the frontier ,the border between the physicality and ???
Of course in an extrapolating vue ,the space time exist in an other form but really it's our limit ,it's probably impossible to encircle this wall .We must focus on the physicality and accept our walls of perception and relativity .
It's so far of us in all senses .
Indeed ,all extrapolations of the mind are beautiful but being pragamtic ,is it necessery to want find these impossibilities due to our young age in an evolution point of vue ,even our adn ,we are still far of the right perception .
Let's take the relation with the energy and the thermodynamics ,
let's be serious ,the fields ,the energies are so important at this scale ,it's all the maximum energy in all things ,thus paradoxally this energy is ??? It's the same with a contraction towards the ultim energy ,you imagine the neeing energy ,if the time and space there are linked and thus we can check them ,thus the maximum physical energy is necessery thus impossible in my opinion .
There are indeed things which never we could mesure ,it's our walls .aND OTHERS WHICH SHALL REST CONSTANTS AND EVOLUTIVES .
We can check some parameters and others are impossible to check ,to change ,to modify ,due to our walls ,our relativistic walls .
Thus can we focus on the impossibility ?
I think no simply .
Somethings are too far of us .
Respecfully
