logic
what came first: maths or matter / observer or particle
Just read some interesting news in an article written by one of my favorite science journalist, Karin Boys, in the Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter:
they have found the physical existence of the magically beautiful E8-pattern – displayed in the image here below – one of the most complex mathematical concepts in the world which took weeks for a hall of super-computers to calculate and resulted in 400 000 printed pages. Researchers have been hoping that E8 is connected to the search for the great Theory of Unification, which shall bring together Einstein’s general theory of relativity and quantum mechanics (which is not possible with todays maths). And now symmetries from this pattern was discovered by a group of German and English physicists when they froze cobalt nitrate to the absolute 0-point, which made the electrons arrange themselves in kind of rows or chains. Then they exposed this to magnetic fields, and in the magnetic fluctuations which evolved the strikingly beautiful E8 pattern was spotted.
I mean, if it came down to looks I’d so far wote for this pattern to be the door to open the true Unification theory, it is just really amazing, isn’t it?!
This is not the first time mathematicians has calculated something which physicists did not yet know of, or they even considered impossible. The last time such a discovery was made was in 1974 by Sir Roger Penrose, who I actually made an 1 hour long interview with in the Vienna Riesenrad back in 2004. He calculated something called quasicrystals, a pattern of two shapes which can repeat endlessly without repeating a pattern. This was considered completely impossible, but was later found, for example in a type of stone in Siberia, and has even shown to have quite some practical use to it.
Plato’s Cave by Sam Weiss
narrator: orson wells, animator: dick oden, music: larry wolff
This is the best thing that I’ve come across this week, since a while actually, and it reminded me of that so many insightful and great people has existed at all kinds of moments and places in history. I got the info about the makers from the credits at the end of the film and the Long Island University Libraries…
The tale of the cave of Plato is such a wonderful critic of society, it is metaphysical, almost sprititual, and so many other things.
The beginning of it reminds me of something I read a while ago about us partly copying the synaps-connections of our parents when we are children. The synapses more or less decides how the different parts of our brains are connected. So, we are physically programmed to, partly, process and react to knowledge and stimuli more or less exactly as our parents would.
Talk about having our heads in chains… (see movie)
time to get out
Hi!
So this is my first blog post, I’m liking it already. The sun is shining, and it felt like the right moment to start this project. I have thought about it for a long time, I have written a bit and read a lot, watched films, plays and other performances, listened to people, watched them dance… I have talked and preached;
shared precious moments of exchange of true knowledge
and I have come to some conclusions. And now I have decided to share them publicly, starting here, today.
Since as far as I can remember, I have thought about life, God and love, about the state of humanity, about how to be… I guess many of us do. I particularly thought a lot about WHY we should be nice to each other and encourage one another. I felt, there must be logical reasons, aside from the spiritual, religious, moral or ethical ones. I remember thinking as a child, that if one could find indisputable reasons for why everyone should be nice to each other, people would change. I don’t know if that is true, or if I have found indisputable reasons, but I have found many reasons.
Along the way I developed a philosophy of life, the theory of the blooming society and the positive multitude. I have decided to publish this theory here, along with thoughts on current events, poems, short stories, quotes and other things that come to my mind…
I hope that many readers find their way to this blog, and that it’s content inspire people.
With love
