Re: My theory of the universe
I love reading this stuff and seeing how much we still don't know, and may never know.
Consciousness creates time is interesting. Do you believe there is a single overall consciousness or do we each have our own? If we each have our own, why/how do we all seem to experience time passing in the same manner?

No, we all have individual consciousness.Cortopassi wrote:I love reading this stuff and seeing how much we still don't know, and may never know.

And as to why we seem to experience time passing in the same manner, I'm not sure that is true. Remember Einstein's quip about relativity being related to what you are doing? Maybe that wasn't so far off.
But yes, people in the same place moving at low relative velocities do see the same time on clocks. But perhaps that is because you can't interact with anyone or anything with which you aren't synchronized in that way.

Interesting stuff, reminds me of eastern spirituality.
Actually how would you define the word consciousness as you are using it?

Re: My theory of the universe
There are a few Star Trek and Stargate episodes I want to rewatch now. I love out of phase, mirror universes and time travel episodes the most.
Certainly at work on a busy vs. slow day, time seems to move faster. Or when hitting snooze, that 9 minutes is over in a blink. And sleep too, there's no sense of time. Hmmm...
But then I wonder if our thoughts are causing time to march forward, why do our cells and body parts age?
Lower organisms that you would not think have a consciousness age and die because of our consciousness?

Re: My theory of the universe
I would really like to read, but I can't access this; there does not appear to be a link to click. I've tried two different browsers. What is the secret?Libertarian666 wrote:tech-novelist.com/tag/TOU/?order=asc

Thank you. I had previously tried copy/paste but I could not get it to work. Your link worked!

Re: My theory of the universe
tech,
Very interesting, I'm glad dualstow gave me a link to your blog that I could access. Based upon your thoughts in the blog, I think you would really enjoy these two books. The first book is one of the more challenging books I've read. I ponder some of its thoughts frequently. The second book is a compilation of essays; the four in Part 2, God and Scientific Cosmology, you may find more interesting but the others are good as well. Three of the four I mentioned are by Robert C. Newman, degrees in physics, astrophysics, and theology - an interesting mix.

Could possibly explain why the fingernail trimmers I always keep in the same place weren't there this morning.

Re: My theory of the universe
Perhaps I should substitute "life" for consciousness, since upon reflection, I think that is actually the source of time. Let me look at that.Cortopassi wrote:There are a few Star Trek and Stargate episodes I want to rewatch now. I love out of phase, mirror universes and time travel episodes the most.

Wow! How much time did you spent on that?

Not sure, actually. The first part is quite old, probably around 2005, but the rest took me 3 or 4 hours in the last week or two.Marlb10 wrote:Wow! How much time did you spent on that?

Alright. Fair enough! Do you write books too?

Re: My theory of the universe
Yes, mostly about programming. My current book book project, though, is about retirement finance.

Yes, that's one of my older books.Desert wrote:Did I see somewhere on here that you're the author of "Who's afraid of C++?"Libertarian666 wrote:Yes, mostly about programming. My current book book project, though, is about retirement finance.
I read that book years ago, in hopes of learning to code. Sadly, C++ still scares the shit out of me. It's not the book's fault, I just discovered one more thing that I suck at.
