Overview of Issues Related to the Replication of Humans and of the Earth in Spacetime: Relevance to Perception of the Passage of Time

This is a short video about some of the extensions of some of this physics stuff, and, as I mentioned in the video, I'm not as confident about the accuracies of these statements as I am about the accuracy of the conclusions I've drawn in physics per se. I should mention that part of the reason I can't offer some sort of foundation for the physics content is that there isn't much of any foundation. I can upload all of my drawings and writings that I did in high school and that I did over the summer, and I'm going to provide a link to the photo site and embed some of the "least messy" drawings to this posting and to subsequent postings. But I didn't spend much time on any one topic, and I can't offer much of an overview of any one area of physics. What can I say about lightning, for example? I went from the topic of the probable cosmic-ray-induced initiation of lightning strikes (when one talks about cosmic rays and about the initiation of some event, this, in itself, can get to be too bogged down in different categories and nomenclature) to post-lightning, runaway-electron acceleration, to the hyperbolic geometry of spacetime, and to redshift jets in the span of two weeks, etc.

In the videos in the subsequent posting and in this video I'm posting today, I discuss some of the issues having to do with the "confinement" (or whatever one wants to call it) of people and of the instrumentation they build to seemingly-impenetrable regions or bubbles. I'm talking about something analogous to the multitude of "invisible walls" that define the boundaries of things like the so-called "local bubble," in the local region of stars that are near to Earth, and also of the heliosphere and the magnetosphere. My sense of it is that, in the absence of a journey on something that disrupts the instability surfaces that constitute the boundaries of the "bubbles," a person's perceptual "sphere" is going to have basically the same boundaries as the region that most of the scientific instrumentation is going to allow the person to take measurements within and to perceive, in general. It's difficult to discuss this without being able to refer to diagrams, and I'll make a couple tomorrow or something. It's not that a person's body "jumps" from one bubble to another but that the visual system of the human brain seems to be set up in a way that limits the scope of perception, and, given that humans need to be able to perceive and understand the data that they obtain from scientific instruments, it's likely that most of the scientific instruments that are available are measuring things...that appear to provide evidence that's in agreement with humans' perceptions of the passage of time. It's not that a gamma ray picture of a galaxy or an image of the dynamics of the magnetosphere of the Earth don't provide information about the geometries of other time frames that are outside the perceptions of humans. It's that there's an overwhelming tendency to interpret the data in a way that can be explained in terms of unaided (not-enhanced-by-scientific-instruments) human perceptions.

But, basically, I was going to say that it seems as if the tunnel-vision quality of hyperbolic spacetime is partly a product of the way the visual system processes images across small intervals of time (small regions of spacetime) but also that the rate of the replication of those structures is apparently much more rapid than the rates at which the human brain can perceive the changes. My sense is that one way of thinking about that sort of disconnect between the rate of change and the rate of perception of the passage of time is something like a sense of vertigo or of dizziness, except the dysequilibrium that's being perceived is all-directional (invariant with respect to direction; omnidirectional). It's as if the world is being pulled away in all directions and pushed toward the person's field of vision, but the same thing is occurring in all of the nearby objects and people that a person is seeing. This is an example of an article that gets at this concept, and Fig. 2, on page 6, shows a representation of a structural region, in so-called "phase space," on which "things" appear to be slowed at the periphery of the region that is defined by the dotted line, in the diagram, and that is analogous to the boundary of one's perceptual field of vision [Kurchan and Laloux, 1995: (http://arxiv.org/pdf/cond-mat/9510079)]. A lot of the articles on phase space are relevant to large-scale geometry in hyperbolic spacetime, in my view, even though representations of phase space are usually meant to represent very-small-scale structures in spacetime [(http://www.google.com/images?hl=en&safe=active&biw=1020&bih=612&tbs=isch%3A1&sa=1&q=phase+space&aq=f&aqi=g1&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=)]. Anyway, there's obviously some issue with the rate of replication of the actual brain structures, and, in that vein, one might say that the brain's structure is replicating more rapidly than a person can perceive (but what does it mean to perceive one's own brain structure). It's sort of a mess of reasoning, but I'm more confident about the first part of this topic (the discussion of the instrumentation). I'll have to make some diagrams on this.

I can't seem to find a photo uploading site that actually uploads photos of significant size, but I've uploaded some of the sketches I did, in different areas of physics, last summer [Here's the album: (http://s1100.photobucket.com/albums/g416/eahanson/)]. There are at least 1,200 pages (probably more) of sketches and notes like these, and I'll try to scan all of them, as soon as I can. Some of them are related to neutrino physics and to my early concepts of mechanisms that would allow one to be transported between time frames, but some of the drawings don't fit, neatly, into one category or another. I'll embed some of them in a subsequent posting, here.
