Other Worlds

Imagine a different universe somehow similiar to ours in basic structure. In this universe, somet hings make sense that don't make sense here. 2 + 3 may equal 5 at one location and some transcendental number at a different location. Maybe transendental numbers don't make sense over there because quadtratic functions don't exist. They have a completely different number system set up over there. What if the gasses there had properties of gasses and solids? For example, they could still somehow pass through eachother and comingle with atoms, but individual gasses retained their basic shapes. And solids had some strange solid liquid fusion property that we can talk about but cannot imagine. A different system of biology would be set up. Life would have changed differently because of all the different chemical processes. Maybe life would have a different meaning from the interpretaion of life that we have in this universe.

These are all wonderful things to imagine, but we soon find that our imagination can only go so far. We see that we are trying to use our own universe but imagining just those rules applied to our universe. We then see that these rules would affect more than what we initially estimated, and we find ourselves trying to impose rules on everything. In doing so, we have no universe to imaginem, and our attempt has failed. It's understandable that we failed, since we simply do not understand these new rules in the context of anything we have ever observed. A person who has never seen blue in his whole life will have no meaning of blue. A person who has been deaf his whole life will be unable to understand music as we do, or maybe not at all. Clearly, our imagination can't travel beyond our universe. It may be a sign that we shouldn't attempt to probe beyond our universe or try to establish a connection with another universe. This is obviously only if some new math and physics provide clear proof that other universes exist somehow. Maybe we should only seek to fully understand only our universe. It is most significantly a sign that our science and math and knowledge can only travel so far, and we are not infinitely scientifically skilled. Haha. 

Understanding Complex Things

Isn't it funny how sometimes we can only understand some ungraspable things through the use of other ungraspable things? For example, when I was thinking about √7, it hit me that it is irrational. There is an infinite amount of numbers used to fully describe this concept. Hence, we who understand things through tangible concepts can never fully understand the power of this number. Still, when you multiply this mystical thing by itself, we get a simple number - 7. An infinite being is brought to our level of understanding with a little manipulation.

What's the point? Who cares? The point is that things that may seem complex and ungraspable at first can be understood through a manipulation that is inherent to the seeminly ungraspable subject. What this means is that the manipulation cannot be something that will add more questions; Occam's razor. Multiplying √7 by itself is a manupulation that is inherent to √7, so new questions are not raised.

So, next time ya'll are thinking deeply or trying to understand something, remember that some things are naturally ungraspable to us; this is important to accept. Manipulating the subject will make it easier to understand if you are skilled with this manipulation. Create a new interaction and it may help you understand the complex. 

Infinite Indeed

If there ever was a concept ultimately ungraspable to the human mind, infinity is it. What does it even mean to be infinite? It is beyond the beyond. We can never truly understand this concept since we always deal with finite and tangible items; we always try to bring concepts that we cannot understand down to a level which we can understand through creating analogies. This, however, ruins the true nature of a concept that is ungraspable. Let's leave the endless (and I'm trying to think of another adjective or a noun to put here, but I simply cannot bring myself to do so because I know it would downplay the whole scenario).

What about interactions? What is an interaction? We normally think of the world as sharply split. That is a house, this is a dog. That is a television. I'm breathing air. But, what makes these things seperate? It's all matter; it's all just stuff. Creating these splits between objects and things does not allow us to see the world in it's real form. It is just a complex amalgam of one thing taking on many forms. The universe is a table or a desk; it is not made up of tables and desks and dust and light and gas. This big mess of stuff and bouncing light is constantly changing and moving. Your thoughts are just parts of the universe moving around in your head. Haha. Interactions are thought to be between seperate entities that have some reciprocal action on each other, but if we view the world as just one big thing, interactions are just games that the world plays with itself. It's probably lonely and scared. It will keep interacting continuously; one may even say infinitely.
