Thoughts on society.

I have a question for the 3 people that have ever looked at this blog, why is it that most people think that emotion comes from the 'heart'. It doesn't make any logical sense. And why is the symbol for love a heart. Why? All the heart ever was and will be is an instrument for pumping blood through your body that in return gives your body oxygen and removes the carbon dioxide that you produce when you break down sugars. This all scares me more then most things. What have this world come to.

Dimensions

Today i think we will be talking about our dimensions. because this is a hard concept and i need sleep i am only going to talk about the first 5 today and the rest Thursday.

So we are going to start with the first dimensions.

The first dimension can only have a single point. This point can be any size but you would not know the size do to it only being able to have a single point.  like this.  . it only represents a location on a graph. and if you lay down another point and connect the two, you have a first dimensional object. A line, it has length, and nothing else.

The second dimension can be represented as anything with length and height.  Think of this as anything drawn on a piece of paper.

The third dimension is the dimension that you and i can best understand as we are third dimensional beings.  This dimension has anything that has length, height  and depth.  You know this very well.

For the fourth dimension it will help if we have a subject, his name will be Joe.
The fourth dimension works like this.  Just as you can represent any three dimensional being on a graph with X,Y and Z axis, the fourth dimension has an axis just like them. This axis is called W.  Think of Joe, he is standing still, not a second later he raised his hand.  If you could draw a line that showed him raise his hand then that would be a fourth dimensional line. If you could see everything in the fourth dimension you could see every persons life from birth to death.

For the fifth dimension things will get a bit more complicated.  It is like the fourth dimension could be conceived through our understanding of time.  But unlike the fourth there is not just one line, there are an unlimited number of time lines. Each of them are changed just a bit do to chance, your choices in like as well as others choice.  This is one of the supports of the Multiverse that i spoke about in an older post.

Aliens

Being in everything from videogames to cave walls, aliens are something we as a species seem to be obsessed with. But it is understandable, What sentient creature wouldn't want to know if they where alone in the universe. I think that is one of the over all goals of humanity. But you might think several things.  One that in our huge galaxy (being between 100,000 to 120,000 Light years from side to side) there would be more then one species that can use radio waves.  And if there are species like that why haven't they come to us yet?  Well there are two great theory's that should help clarify this for you.  The first is called THE DRAKE EQUATION. 

(Not you handsome...)

This equation is the scientifically accepted equation for estimating the number of alien civilizations in the galaxy at any one time.  The equation goes like this.

N=R* f_p n_e f_l f_i f_c L

N stands for the number of alien civilizations in the galaxy.

R*stands for the stars formed per year.

 f_p stands for the number of those suns that have planets.

n_e  stands for the number of those planets that could support life per star.

f_l  stands for the number of those planets that go to the next step and actually have life.

 f_i  stands for the number of those planets that's life becomes intelligent.

 f_{c stands for the number of those intelligent species that create a civilization.}

L stands for the length of time it takes for such civilization takes to release detectable signs in to space.

i know this is a lot to take in but bare with me, Once you put in all the numbers, you get  number between 0.000,000,000,000,000,000,080 to 182,000,000.  That is using the lowest acceptable numbers to th  highest numbers.  

Now we come to the second thing i must talk about.  If you look at those numbers then you would have to ask yourself is with numbers like 182 million why haven't we come into contact with aliens?

Well there is a second theory that covers that.

  Its is called the Zoo hypothesis. What this one means is that just like some tribes here on earth modern people are not allowed to go near then.  This way we can make sure that their culture is protected and will develop the way it should.  What i mean is that If there are aliens, they will not show themselves to us until we prove we are done developing.  This would mean that after completing something that proves this we would be welcomed into open hands and integrated into a higher life.  Some think this to be anything from world peace or an achievement in science or space travel.

One popular idea is that the ship Voyager will be the ship that will complete this task.  It is the farthest man made object from the sun, and whats more is it is about to leave our solar system.  If this is true then maybe it wont be to long till we meet the little gray men.

till next time.

Simulation.

Most people would agree that the planet earth is pretty large.  Not huge and maybe small in comparison to the galaxy or the universe, but it is large when compared to the things you see and interact with on a daily bases.  And something else people would agree with is that we have some pretty impressive technology as well and we have the ability to simulate quiet large or complicated things.  I have two things to talk about, having to do with both of these things.  First, the popular game minecraft is a simulation of a land in which you can do a lot of a things, but not a lot of people know the full size of the game.  In truth it is quite large.  The game explored to its full size is about the same size as Neptune.  A planet that is larger then ours.  We as humans have made things that have the ability to simulate a world that is larger then our own.  That i think is quite insane.  But it gets better, a team in Austria made a simulation that was so large and in depth it took not 1, not 5 or 100 computers but 500+ computers.  It is a simulation of our Universe at its young age.  It looks amazing, and was well worth the 30 years of computing hours.  If you want to see the final product i highly suggest that you do, and you can download the video at there site.  Here is a link.  Its called the Millennium Run.  here is a photo of what it looks like.  Simply Awesome.

Universe... or Multiverse

  A fantastic idea that everyone has thought about since the recognition of the there being a universe is if there is another one along side ours.  Many ideas have come up and been thought up but only three are scientifically recognized.  The first being that the Multiverse has Nine dimensions, if this is true it would let our Three dimensional universe only be a single plane of existence. In this Nine dimensional Multiverse, our universe would be like a page of a book, in that in our three dimensional world, a page of a book is two dimensional.To look at this Hypothesis in lamens terms, the Multiverse is everything, and in that everything there are universes, but like a page from a book there would be many of them.
  The second idea is that there are Infinite numbers of universes.  The way this works is that anything that could have happened has happened.  To look at this through text think of it this way, just by choosing to read this you made a new universe.  The difference between this one and that one is that you didn't read this in that universe.  So in this model, every time any thing ever did something a new universe was made where that thing didn't happen.  This is my favorite theory as it was proposed by the logic of quantum mechanic, the thing I would like to study.
  The third proposed idea is that there are universes in our universe but are so distant that we would never have a chance to see them, or that they only exist inside black holes, and we would thus never see them. By the logic of this theory we could be inside a black hole that was part of a second (any number really.) universe.  This is the most strait forward idea.
  Or we are the only universe in existence and there is no other.  We could be alone, but I don't think that is true.
