HOW TO GET SOMETHING FROM NOTHING JUST BY ALTERING OUR MODE OF PERCEPTION
In the optical illusion above.. two entirely different images.. the face of a beautiful woman.. and an old hag.. occupy the same space. This picture draws our attention to how much the mind can project what it has learned to see.. and that it can also learn to see differently.. on the basis of a simple change in our understanding.
To Quote Peter Russell
“On the one hand, consciousness is not located anywhere within the world; the whole world -- our entire image of reality, including our bodies and brains -- is itself a manifestation within consciousness. Consciousness is the container of our world; it is not contained within it.”
SO.. WHAT IS THIS LINK
BETWEEN CONSCIOUSNESS AND PHYSICS ? ? ?
Below are some quotes that I have lifted from other websites.. who are talking imaginary values in physics..
Some.. knowingly.. and some.. unknowingly..
Mysterious infinities.. that get ignored.. evidence for a dimension of time that exists as an absolute present.. Imaginary mass.
Could it be.. that the NOTHING that the universe is expanding into.. is the same NOTHING that we would find if we were to cut open a living human brain.. while looking for evidence of consciousness.. ?
However.. this kind of evidence would suggest that the idea of there being a Primary Field mist be taken more seriously.
THE CIRCUMSTANCIAL EVIDENCE OF A UNIVERSE WITH
A MENTAL (OR IMAGINARY) FOUNDATION
Why is the existence of imaginary numbers not really as unreasonable as it seems?
It may seem hard to believe that imaginary numbers could possibly exist. The source of this difficulty stems from what one means by "existence". In mathematics, whether or not a certain concept exists can depend on the context in which you ask the question.
And while engineers need the imaginary number to analyse electrical waves, physicists need it to calculate the fundamental forces that govern our Universe via quantum mechanics.
And, most bizarrely of all, time might have an imaginary dimension, which might explain how time started. The Big Bang gave birth to our Universe some 15 billion years ago. It was every mother's dream birth, taking less than a second for all time, matter and energy to be born, with no need for an epidural. But if the Big Bang marks the beginning of time and the beginning of matter, what was there before it? How could time just start?
Einstein's classical general theory of relativity linked together time with the three spatial dimensions we are all familiar with (up - down, left - right, and in - out), creating a four dimensional 'space-time' in which time can move forwards only. A brilliant theory, but one that comes a cropper when applied to the creation of the Universe.
But invoke quantum theory and a dollop of imaginary time and things begin to make sense ... at least to cosmologists. Imaginary time is measured in imaginary numbers and unlike real time, it can move backwards and forwards like an extra spatial dimension. Apparently, this gives the Big Bang something to start from.
HERE.. WE SEE EVIDENCE OF A PRIMARY FIELD BUT PRESENTLY OUR SCIENCE CAN'T UNDERSTAND IT IN ANY OTHER TERMS THAN THE "OBJECTIVE PHYSICAL" EXISTENCE
"Now say somehow you were able to go faster than the speed of light (i.e. the v in the above equation is now greater than c the speed of light). The equation will then give us a square root of a negative number on the right hand side (which is an imaginary number.) Well I can factor out the imaginary unit number (i or the square root of minus one) and plot the result on the same graph. This region I call Imaginary Time since it is some weird time with an imaginary unit attached to it (so I don't really know what this time means.)
However you see that time in this imaginary region will speed up from infinity to the regular time speed of 1 and continue speeding up. At 140% or higher speed of light, time slowdown factor is less than one, i.e. time will go faster than in the stationary frame! So for an example if your ship goes at 200% of the speed of light and you take a one year journey, when you return to Earth only about 7 months have gone by. However I need to stress again that this is just a crazy thought experiment which produces some weird imaginary time and has no physical meaning."

Dirac was puzzled by an unprecedented property of space-time discovered by Lorentz in his studies of electromagnetic forces, whereby if space was real, time had to be imaginary, and vice versa. In other words, space and time had to be a "complex" mixture - the sum of a real and an imaginary quantity.

This is what Jakub Rembielinski and his colleagues at Lodz University are now proposing for neutrinos. One bizarre consequence of their proposal is that neutrinos would no longer have mass in the conventional sense. Instead, they have something called "imaginary" mass, a variety of mass that is in some sense at right angles to the ordinary kind.
As with normal traveling EM waves, standing EM waves have an 'imaginary' component equivalent to an imaginary mass, as in the square-root of (-1), times its real mass (jm). Imaginary particles are not something new to physics, although most textbooks barely mention them due to lack of knowledge, and because they have never been (and can never be) isolated.
As Feynman correctly described, these imaginary particles are as real as the real counterparts but travel backwards in time. This statement may be confusing at first but it's just about the simplest & best description one could could come up with for these particles. These antiparticles are not to be found as a cluster in some part of the universe. Some people think that such clusters, of antimatter are being formed elsewhere in the universe, whilst leaving all real particles clustered in our own universe. This is totally wrong as the anitparticle is just the mirror image of the particle traveling in a reverse time direction - something we humans cannot ever experience.
The implications are rather obvious, an imaginary space-time dimension has to be defined along with the four real space-time dimensions to fully represent all physics parameters. This shall upgrade all physics units into a set of space-time dimensions, one with real and the other with imaginary, resulting into at least one complex 4 dimension space time. This requires no major change in physics, but from thereoff, ALL quantities have to be assumed to be complex values, that is, have BOTH REAL & IMAGINARY COMPONENTS of space-time.
Imaginary number "i" was defined as being the number which means the vertical direction to the direction of the real number which show that the direction changed by 90 degrees every time and it hung taking "i" by the figure.
In the coordinates of the figure which turns to the 180 degrees opposite direction, i.e. the real number and the imaginary number, the square of "i" which multiplied "i" the twice could name with the imaginary number because it made actually -1 which can not be.
The circular motion in the imaginary time which I show in this complex number is the time which shows the truth showing 360 degrees completely directions, and the arrow of horizontal time to be moved to the future from the past, I think that it isn't possible to find the truth. The truth seems to be in the emptiness.
This theory introduces a second reference of time which has been inappropriately named Imaginary time. Hawking, writes of the no boundary proposal, "The universe would be completely self contained and not affected by anything outside itself. It would neither be created nor destroyed. It would just BE." So we can surely say, the universe exists without beginning or end in imaginary time, and we might also say that each moment we experience exists forever.
What is still not quite resolved in modern physics is how to properly combine Relativity and Quantum theory. It already appears evident that time is purely a direction in space. The past and future exist, and are somehow connected by time, but how do we explain the quantum wave? The solution I present is that space-time is built up from a series of independent spaces, or spatial fields, which exist hidden in imaginary time.
Hawking has already proposed that imaginary time can be understood as if it is a time at right angles to ordinary time. I suggest that if each moment is an independent world of space, existing at right angles to our ordinary time which we know does have a beginning and possibly an end, then it is possible in an objective way to understand the universe to be like a book, with each page existing forever, yet each contributes a moment to a progression we call space-time. This analogy clearly sheds some light on why particles would then travel as a quantum wave, rather than linearly from point a to point b. This is explained better elsewhere, but if each moment of ordinary time is a solid, static, "block of now", or field of space, then time is like turning pages of a book. Each new moment is a distinctly different pattern.
The time of each individual in the fourth dimension is linear and fluid, while time for everything else in the environment is sequential. Time is therefore relative, or related, to each independent observer inevitably acting as the frame of reference.
There is one quote I have found from Einstein which is more or less a contemplative mental thought about the notion of infinite spaces, which doesn't directly relate to my own approach of describing a shape to all possible spaces, but it does at least open up the subject of an infinite number of spaces to speculation. And it also shows the open minded nature of Einstein's thoughts about empty space, which some have thought were closed.
(individual fields of consxiousness)
Before one has become aware of this complication, space appears as an unbounded medium or container in which material objects swim around. But it must be remembered that there is an infinite number of spaces, which are in motion with respect to each other.
The concept of space as something existing objectively and independent of things belongs to pre-scientific thought, but not so the idea of the existence of an infinite number of spaces in motion relatively to each other. This latter idea is indeed unavoidable, but is far from having played a considerable role even in scientific thought.
I can testify that Einstein's speculations revealed here concerning infinite spaces in motion do at least carry us in the right direction, in how they suggest space might have an unseen and possibly infinite content. Most noteworthy, similar ideas came from the work of David Bohm, who introduced the idea of an implicate order. Implicate order for Bohm was a way of acknowledging that quantum mechanics reveals that space contains a hidden order. However, that order is much more visible than Bohm ever realized. There is the order of groups and grouping that we are accustomed to acknowledging, but there also is an order of balance and symmetry which smoothes out the pronounced nature of grouping, until in extreme, the symmetry of balance seems to be a nothingness.
...you need infinite amounts of energy to accelerate infinite mass past the speed of light mark! (and as far as I know we have yet to find an infinite source of energy.
“Since there exist in this four dimensional structure [space-time] no longer any sections which represent "now" objectively, the concepts of happening and becoming are indeed not completely suspended, but yet complicated. It appears therefore more natural to think of physical reality as a four dimensional existence, instead of, as hitherto, the evolution of a three dimensional existence.”
, "...for us physicists believe the separation between past, present, and future is only an illusion, although a convincing one."
Einstein
Even before writing that book, Hawking began to reveal his membership in the ranks of the loophole seekers. In 1983 Stephen Hawking and James Hartle advanced the notion that since we cannot determine conditions in the universe before 10-43(or,00000000000000000000000000000000000000001) after its origin, perhaps some unknown phenomenon in that speck of time might have disturbed the governance of general relativity. If so, space, time, matter, and energy might not have originated from a true singularity (beginning from an infinitely small volume). They went on to propose that just as the behavior of a hydrogen atom can be described by a quantum mechanical wave function, so might the behavior of the universe. If that is the case, they claimed, the universe could have just popped into existence out of absolutely nothing at what most would call the beginning of time.
Even if Hawking's hypothesis were true, there would still be no escaping the need for a Creator-God. As Heinz Pagels, a theoretical physicist explains: This unthinkable void converts itself into the plenum of existence - a necessary consequence of physical laws. Where are these laws written into that void? What "tells" the void that it is pregnant with a possible universe? It would seem that even the void is subject to law, a logic that exists prior to space and time.
