Time And Infinity

Here is the twenty-fifth episode of Quantum Foam, Time And Infinity. To infinity and beyond. We begin with some rational thinking. We are interested in integers and their cardinality. We need to find a way to list the rational numbers. There is no such thing as the smallest fraction bigger than 0. There is also a separate understanding of what is called the real numbers. They are different than the natural numbers. The infinities surrounding P are equal to the infinities surrounding T. The ways in which we look at these is a philosophical standpoint. This refers to the very foundations of mathematics. Does time have infinite span? Was there a beginning and is there an end? String Theory sounds like it is having its Quantum Mechanical wave collapse. According to Bolzmann, it takes a little time after The Big Bang for time to find its direction. How do we know that time goes forward? We are describing the direction that time took after The Big Bang. We will be getting into The Standard Model, but we don't need to learn all the different theoretical particles. There are certain factors that are involved with Time And Infinity. There is a problem with time that everyone needs to be able to surpass. I was able to look at time in a way that precluded the limitations inherent within the concept of infinity. It is important to think of time as a relative quantity for each aspect of your study when considering physical laws. There is no master time. Black holes do not necessitate the existence of infinity. Loss of information is important to keep track of. The purpose of what we are doing is to understand the limitations of information loss for quantum computing. There is no evidence that gauge invariant curvature styles of quantum theories exist. The problem is there is a point where the symmetry of reality splits off from being a mirror image and becomes oriented with different handedness. We are looking at the infinities within our curvature calculations and how that relates to Time And Infinity.

Even though we trust Bekenstein and Hawking, we are still taking a look at the fundamental physical principles. Remember that we are taking a look at everything. Fractals have much to do with the idea of infinity. I'm sure you have seen these in various computer graphics. We also have temporal infinities. We are treating time as not existing before The Big Bang. Infinite time is avoided, but we could also be within an infinite oscillation of time. There could be eternal recurrences. At the Large Hadron Collider, they have discovered a wide variety of particles, but I have a feeling there are mistakes that go back pretty far. We could be directly challenging The General Theory Of Relativity. Who knows such things? Infinities can be created within our minds as mental devices. We can theorize that an infinite arrangement of particles in our physical world can be similar to the infinite divisions of wax postulated by René Descartes. Think about a particle called a muon and how it displays an annihilation energy measurement. The question of whether or not matter is infinitely divisible may never be known. We don't really know or care if infinity lasts forever. It may not be needed in finding our Theory Of Everything. Quantum Foam and the intricacies involving the final layer of reality is at a calculable level. Everything has to be looked at in the correct way, which is often the problem. Look out for Quanta Magazine's science podcast. The idea of the eternal return of infinity is that every so often the universe repeats itself. We see various patterns indicative of oscillations of some kind. Expansions and contractions. A Light Cone is an oscillating system. Infinity may just be an abstract concept. The question of whether or not matter may be infinitely divisible may never be measured. Space-time may be a bunch of quantum regions connected together that make the macro world that we see. This does not get past the measurement problem. There may very well be dimensions outside of our normal 3 spatial dimensions. They would be folded up and represented logically as mathematical structures. A tesseract is a higher 4-dimensional analog of a cube in 3-dimensions. We are counting numerically. Our numerical value is counting with a number that is a certain subset of itself. If you are saying half of almost something, you are technically still saying nothing. The theory doesn't hold together. Absolute Infinity may be impossible. In the end, who is going to be left counting? The Philosophy Of Physics is what we are discussing here and how this allows us to cover the deeper issues such as dealing with time and what that means for handling infinity.
