The Dead-end Up Here

As published in TAT journal, April 2011 Nature of Thought by Sunil Vidyarthi What is bigger than the universe, infinity and occupies no space? Did you say God? You could be right but I don’t know Him and so can’t support your thesis. My answer is thought. Think about it. You do more of this than anything else in your lifetime. Now multiply that already an immense immeasurable abstraction by billions who live today and the billions who have died. So you get an idea of how big this is. The problem of getting an estimate of its size, shape or extent lies in the fact that we can’t measure it. We can however translate it into measurable quantities. For instance, we can write down all our thoughts or record it and then weigh the books or the hard drive. You see, it isn’t as insignificant as first thought. We have a tendency not to believe in things that we can’t weigh, measure, see or hear. Hence feelings have little value to experimental scientists. And thoughts are cl...

Everything in the universe, every particle, every planet, every quasar must follow one law; it must experience. The universe is not made of dead, dumb matter that occasionally, by some freak statistical accident, develops a brain and starts to "experience" things. They treat experience like a late-stage biological luxury. Experience isn't a byproduct of matter; " matter is a byproduct of the law of experience". The Real Meaning of the Law If you look at the cosmos through the lens of Quantum Field Theory, a particle is not a static object. It is a localized event. For a particle to exist, it * must * interact. An electron that has no mass, no charge, and zero interaction with any other field does not exist. It has no presence. To interact *is* to experience.  When a quark collides with another quark in the roaring furnace of a star, that is an immediate, high-energy subatomic experience.  When a planet is caught in the invisible, curved spacetime w...
