Dark Matter and Pulsars

Pulsars are believed to be neutron stars with high magnetic fields the focus electromagnetic waves in a narrow cone. When these systems rotate we detect electromagnetic pulses from radio telescopes.

There is an alternative explanation:


 Consider a neutron star dualet moving away from earth at velocity greater than light. Also the earth is in it's  plane of rotation of the stars. The stars of the dualet also moves in velocities greater than light. The system will be in negative space accept when the combined velocity towards earth is less than velocity of light. This happens only when the stars are at top for a brief window of time. At this time a pulse is emitted. This arrangement is possible if we assume the size of neutron star of diameter 20km moving at 2c, diameter of the orbit 6.5 km will produce 0.3 mil sec pulsar.

Several questions has to be answered if the above is to be true. What is happening to the energy emitted when the dualet is in the negative space? Suppose object other than earth but in the same line moves towards to the dualet in such a way that ducat's moving out velocity is less than c. Therefore is in positive space and should be visible to that object and not to earth? This is a baffling proposition. The photons that might reach earth are kept without traveling and the photons that can reach the object will be emitted. Therefore the earth and the object are directly inserting an influence on the dualet in emitting the electromagnetic radiation.

Another thing that can be assumed is what is emitted is not pure electromagnetic waves. It is something other than electromagnetic waves say dark energy. But by the actions of the observer converted to electromagnetic waves. Action of the observer is it's movement relative to these dark energy.

A light source will not emit dark energy. If we start moving grater than c relative to the source the energy will become dark energy and the source will become dark matter. Velocity of dark energy v is some v > c. So dark energy will have velocities that makes it travel across. Whenever some object moves in such a way that its velocity relative to dark energy is c it will become visible. Then this object will be traveling at velocity       v < c relative to the source of dark energy.

Dark energy do not have a velocity component. It will originate from any source emitting energy. Visibility of energy will depend on the velocity of the observer relative to the source. If the velocity is greater then c the energy is will be dark energy and the source a dark object. If velocity is less then c energy will be electromagnetic radiation with velocity c.

Set of rules behavior
  • Suppose a photon is emitted by an object that is not in dark, but by the time it reaches the observer the object accelerates and become dark matter, how will the observer see the photon? He will not see the photon. Because at the time of observance, the originator is in the dark. If we assume otherwise we need to think of some ether where the photon travels. This is contradicted by the constant speed of light in all reference frames.
  • The energy is conserved and only a shift from dark to light happens.
  • Observability of a EM radiation will depend on the relative velocity between the emitter and observer exactly at the time of observance. If it is greater then c the radiation wisps past the observer and will never be able to observe it. Another observer more distant in the same line of sight if his relative velocity is less than c will observer it. The radiation will go through the first observer as if it is nonexistent. The radiation for the first observer will be dark energy. The second observer will see the fist observer if relative velocity is less than c. But will also see radiation coming through the first observer as if it is nonexistent.
  • There will be a violation of locality principal. Spooky action at distance will become true and very common.
  •  If the velocity between the observer and the emitter is less than c, everything will behave according to current classical laws, not special relativistic laws.
  • Here no ether is assumed and EM radiation velocity is also assumed to be the constant c irrespective of observer movements. But the assumption of the velocity limit of c as predicted in Special Relativity is dropped.
  • A message can be sent by the emitter to the observer, when the emitter moves in an out of dark space. However the message will be traveling at the velocity of light. Above example of pulsars is such an event. In the visible window the observer will see EM radiation. Hoover, at all times dark energy will be imitated. In the window of visibility it is converted to EM radiation.
  • Space can consist by large amount of dark energy that zip past us with out any knowledge. Dark matter will be the objects that moves out from us at velocities greater than c.

Does Simaltanity is real

  1. Two events cannot happen in the same location. The location is a point in space. Two events may happen at the same point but not at the same time. Two events may happen at a single point in different times. Therefore it is irrelevant to the issue of simultaneity.
  2. Can simultaneity exist when two events happen at two different locations. There should be a method of measuring the time of occurrence for these two events in order to see whether two events are simultaneous.
  3. A solution is the one proposed by Einstein in the thought experiment of lightning bolts string two points of a moving train. If you fine tune the experiment we have to consider two photons emitted at two different points received by an observer at the midpoint. If the two photons reach the observer at the same instant we can say the two events that produced the photons are simultaneous.
  4. There are serious lapses in the earlier experiment.
  5. First we state that a concept called "simultaneity" exist. This concept is not "two events happen at two times and these two times are very close". Because this is not a concept it is just a statement. We can make such statements on anything. And there is no seriousness in these statements.
  6. If we say given two points there exists a single point called midpoint. This cannot be proved ever.
  7. Photons travel at the velocity of light. And according to quantum theory exact time of arrival cannot be ascertained. 
  8. Therefore simultaneity is a priori concept. It cannot be proved to exist by using empirical methods. Worse than that even a thought experiment cannot be performed to show it exist. There is life after death is a priori statement. But a scientific theory like special relativity being based on such a concept is almost absurd.

Achilles and Tortoise Paradox

Achilles and Tortoise Paradox. The paradox is Achilles and tortoise will have a race. The tortoise is given a head start say 100 meters. Suppose both started running at the same instant. It will take some time for Achilles to run the 100 meters. In this time the tortoise will have moved ahead say 10 meters. Then Achilles will need a further time to catch up the tortoise. When Achilles reaches the next point the tortoise has moved a further small distance. So, when Achilles reaches some point the tortoise has reached, he will have to go farther. Therefore, Achilles need to go to infinite number of points to overtake the tortoise, which, is impossible. So, he will never overtake the tortoise.

In reality commonsense says this cannot be, Achilles will easily overtake the tortoise. Therefore this is a paradox.

Is it? The problem is that we assume that space and time are continuous entities which can be divided indefinitely. It is not so. Time and space are discrete. The locomotion is not a smooth one where it can be divided in to infinitely. The movement is in jumps. At one stage Achilles will jump over the tortoise.


Lal Silva

I am writing about Special Relativity, so thought that I should give out some history about my association with the subject of Special Relativity.

When I was an undergraduate at the Colombo University Sri Lanka my pet subject was Special Relativity. There was one Maths lecturer named Valentine Joseph lecturing on this subject, I never missed his lectures, however, I missed almost all other lectures in one year, playing bridge, chess, table tennis or watching girls at the bus stop.

However love of Special Relativity was my undoing. I loved the subject so much I was the only student in the batch who tried to answer the questions about relativity in physics, then messed up a calculation and was able to pass the test barley. The result was instead a first class I go only a second upper. This changed my life I was not absorbed to any academic post in the university and I ended as a Tax Specialist in the Inland Revenue Department of Sri Lanka.

Anyway this did not stop me thinking about the universe and science. But to a lesser extent than economics and business studies.

At age 63 now I am interested in philosophy and read about the subject.

Negative Space

Whatever space we experience is positive space. This space can be contracted when moving at a velocity. (See Special Relativity is flawed written by me)

This theory states that moving objects contracts. The transformation for object moving in x axis will be:
x = xο,                                  y = yο 1-v²/c²,                         z = zο 1-v²/c²

One important aspect that I emphasize in this theory not to make the mistake of special relativity where length contracts in the moving frame and not so in the stationary frame which leads to multiple contradictions and paradoxes.

If we need to avoid contradictions it should be stated that the same happens in both frames. Therefore as well as the moving object the stationary measuring instrument also contracts and this contraction cannot therefore be measured by an instrument.

It should be noted that the length contraction here is different from Special Relativity. In Special Relativity the contraction is along the line of velocity, but here it is perpendicular to the line of movement. Further there is no Time Dilation like in Special Relativity.

Several implications due to this theory:
  1. Cosmic distance measurement may need to be revised. Because, of red shift galaxies further away will be moving faster than the near ones. Astronomical distance measurements are related to size of objects in space and the angle projected to earth.
  2. While moving objects contracts the objects moving in planes perpendicular to line of sight and the obits created by object circling another may remain same.
  3. If size can be measured in binary stars rotating in the same plane as line of sight, because the size may be smaller when moving in the line of sight than perpendicular to it. In other words binary stars in blue and red shifts appears smaller than when there is no shift.
  4. Creation of negative space when objects travel at velocities greater than light. 
  5. May explain dark matter and dark energy by attributing velocities grater than c therefore objects moving to negative space which cannot be observed though the gravitational effect is evident to the surrounding space.
  6. Explain the existence of quasars with red shift  z >4 and velocities greater than light.
  7. Moving clocks might be running slower or faster due to size contraction and changes in physical size.
  8. The age of the universe, the theory of big bang, the structure of the universe, finiteness of the universe etc may need to be rethought.
  9. This might give more answers than exotic Special Relativity which gives to more Fantasizeism.
  10. This will be the unification of space contraction and quantum theory. 
  11. Explain variable stars.


Observer in Einstein's Train thought experiment


Observer is an integral part of motion. Without observer there is no motion. We cannot forget observer in motion. Einstein’s thought experiment regarding simultaneity. Two light signals are emitted at the two ends of a moving train.

A- The two light signals are emitted simultaneously at both ends of the train.
F - Stationary observer receives both light signals simultaneously.
B- The moving observer in the train sees the light coming from front of the train at first.
C – Then after a while the moving observer sees the light coming from the back of the train.
D – The scenario that both light signals reach the traveling observer simultaneously contrary to Einstein’s 
       prediction.

Why Einstein’s prediction in the thought experiment is wrong:

F – is correct, both light signals reach stationary observer simultaneously.
D – is also correct, both light signals reach the traveling observer simultaneously- light travels at constant   
        velocity.
B & C – are wrong. How does the stationary observer know that the light signal is received by the traveling observer? The only way it can be achieved is, the traveling observer gives some sign that he received the signal coming from the front. The assumption by the stationary observer that light coming from the front reach the traveling observer first since train travels forward and signal travels backwards is wrong. The stationary observer has know way of knowing this. He needs to rely on the sign given by the traveling observer. Since velocity of light is same in all reference frames the traveling observer will give the sign exactly when both light signals reach him simultaneously

The above diagram further explains the final position the two observers stand when both light signals are received by them. Lets assume time t lapses for the light to reach observers, v is velocity of train and c is velocity of light. One important factor is the time t is same to both observers. Therefore the light signals will be received by both observers simultaneously. It can be seen that in respect of both observers light signal has traveled ct distance to reach them. Further, the moving observer has moved a distance of vt forward when he received the light signal.

More explanation regarding the Mirror Example
The problem of how light behave when light oscillates between two moving parallel mirrors, originated from Michelson Morley experiment. Practically this scenario can be visualized if such a setup is made on earth since the earth is moving — same as what Michelson Morley did.
A  frame consisting with two parallel mirrors that has a light source directed up, will be moving forward at velocity v.
The observer stationed with mirrors will see light photons go up and come down. And he can observe this by setting up a a lesser beam that directed up and a light detector along it's side.

The main contentious point here, is how will the stationary observer see this moving arrangement as a whole. And in particular how the moving photons behave in respect to him. Einstein's thought experiment used light signals. This is wrong since a light signal is a bunch of photons. To be more accurate we need to consider how a single photon behave. Further, it was assumed that the light signals reach the lower mirror simultaneously for both observers. This assumption was made with no arguments how it can happen. I am examining it whether it is correct.

It is impossible to verify this argument directly, because a single photon cannot be detected by two different observers. Though a light signal can be broken into two, a single photon cannot. Even when it is possible to split a photon by polarization, in observing, multiple observers cannot detect it. Single photon can be detected only by a single observer.

First if we forget the time dilation and space contractions and assume that velocity of light is constant, the stationary observer will receive the light signal after the moving observer received it, since it has to travel more to reach the stationary observer — moving observe will see photon go vertically up and come down, while, stationary observer see photon travel diagonally up and down.

Is there any evidence that of two photons that are emitted simultaneously, one seen by the moving observer and the other by the stationary observer, will reach simultaneously the lower detector. Only way of finding out is, one observer will give out a signal to the other, exactly when he received the photon. This signal will also be another photon. However, it may not matter much in this case since both observers are at the same location when they receive the photons — it may not be the case if they receive photons at different times.

Special Relativity assumes that these two photons are received simultaneously and builds the theory on it.

However, there is an argument in favor that these two photons are received at the same time. If it is stated that these two photons are received at different times, each such photon needs to have knowledge when it is emitted originally by the beam which detector it is going to strike! If such knowledge is lacking, either photon might hit one of the two detectors. Therefore they both should hit the detectors simultaneously.

Once again in quantum theory where spliting of the same electrion having knowledge through wich s

Special Relativity Flawed

It can be proved that Special Relativity Flawed.
Take the basic example of a photon emitted in a frame:
Frame example

Moving Observer
a frame AB moves at a velocity v, emits a photon -- photon is more accurate than a light signal. After time t the photon arrives at D since the frame has now moved to CD. All this activity is relative to an observer standing on the frame AB/CD, that moves at velocity v with the frame.

With respect to the observer on the frame
We can safely state r = c * t where c is the velocity of light (r - size of the frame). Since light travels at velocity c for any observer -- Michelson Morly Experiment.

With respect of the stationary observer standing outside the frame
Here again velocity of light is the constant c. Light photon will be moving from point at Aο and reach point Bο after time tο. Though at the same time, point B will start moving to D, this needs to be disregarded, since point B or D has no bearing or relevance to the stationary observer. This important phenomena, is missed by Special Relativity activists, they assume that, light coming from point Aο, is going to point D, moving at velocity c with respect of the stationary observer.

The mistake
This is wrong. Light travels at constant velocity c to the stationary observer, but not in respect to moving point B--as said earlier, point B is irrelevant to stationary observer. The Special Relativists argue that according to the stationary observer light will travel from A with velocity c, while point B of the frame  will move to point D, independent of the in coming light photon. Therefore the light photon will have to travel additionally a distance s to reach D. This is an unnecessary assumption. While traveling observer can consider light travel from A to D the stationary observer sees the same photon -- or with quantum theory different photon emitted almost at same time-- traveling from point A to B.

This mistaken argument results, either velocity of light should be c+v or frame AB need to contract or time need to dilate. But since velocity of light is constant the frame should contract and time need to dilate. Therefore moving frames contract. And time tο for stationary observer will be different from time t of the moving observer.
(It may look strange but putting the arguments to language is really difficult)

Mirror Example
A frame consisting with two parallel mirrors that has a light source directed up--this is a light clock, will be moving forward at velocity v




Scenario 1  c & d - invariant and t -variant (The normal accepted principal of Special Relativity)
2d = c tο ---------------(1)
         __________
d = √c²t²/4 – v²t²/4
            ______
= tc/2 1-v²/c² ---------- (2)
                     _____
c tο/2 = tc/21-v²/c²
          ______
tο = t 1-v²/c²      ------ (accepted time dilation formula in Special Relativity)


 Scenario 2  t & d - invariant and c -variant (velocities greater than c exist Principal )

2d = cο t ---------------(1)
         __________
d = √c²t²/4 – v²t²/4
            ______
= tc/2 1-v²/c² ---------- (2)
                     _____
cο t/2 = tc/21-v²/c²
            ____
  cο c²-v²
  cο²  c²-v²
        _______
c = cο²  + v²       -----------(velocities greater than c exist Principal )


 Scenario 3  t & c - invariant and d -variant (Space Contraction Principal)

2dο = c t ---------------(1)
         __________
d = √c²t²/4 – v²t²/4
            ______
= tc/2 1-v²/c² ---------- (2)
                        _____
d = (2dο/c)c/21-v²/c²
             ______
 d = dο 1-v²/c²    ------ (Space Contraction Principal)
 
Scenario 1 accepts Special Relativity time dilation formula. It assumes that velocity of light is the same to all observers and goes beyond by assuming the stationary observer will not calculate c - v as the photon approach velocity towards mirror(photon moving in at c  mirror moving out at v)  but just as c. The stationary observer thinking  that, the photon moves towards the mirror at c. This is how the formula             
         __________
d = √c²t²/4 – v²t²/4   is derived. 

There is a problem with Scenario 1 because it leads to multiple paradoxes like twin paradox, grandfather paradox, ladder paradox, train on a bridge or tunnel paradox etc. Though some of these are said to be avoided by stating the shift from initial to non-initial frames looks like callous disregard to these paradoxes.
You get paradoxes because something is wrong or you cannot explain something. Then you need to give careful considerations to the assumption you have made and try to find the lapses. Another major defect of this theory is melding with time. The concept of time is one of the least understood. However, special relativity has made drastic changes to the concept of time. For instance we use phrases like "trillionth of a second after big bang" commonly. These phrases brings out pure absurdity because where was such a clock to measure time at that epoch. This shows how flimsy our understanding of time is.

Scenario 2  accepts that though light will have constant velocity with respect to any observer, velocities higher than light exist. Take for example the Frame Example above, a stationary observer will see that photon emitted at point A moves towards point D at c. But the stationary observer will also see that point D is moving at v. Therefore the stationary observer should say that photon moves towards D at c-v. And if the frame moves the other way c+v. Therefore velocities greater than c exist.

However, the two speed theory may run to problems if we consider a hole in the mirror allows light to fall on a screen of the stationary observer and how it is possible to have the same light photon or very near two photons to have two velocities of light. The observer moving with mirrors will see velocity c while the stationary observer will see velocity c²  + v²

Still, higher than c velocities may explain, quasars with z > 4 traveling at velocity greater than 4c.

Scenario 3  may give us very interesting explanations for hitherto unexplained phenomena.Here the distance between the mirrors will contract. This contraction will compensate the longer distance that the light beam need to travel when the mirror moves. The practical implication will be when the photon moves the space around it will contract.

We may be able to construct a new transformation (space contraction transformation) by the following formulas:                                                ______                                           _____
               x = xο                             y = yο 1-v²/c²                               z  = zο 1-v²/c²

These formulas will give out further interesting explanations to other phenomena. For instance say v > c then the space will become negative space. Whatever inside this space will be invisible like black holes. But this whatever inside can interact in other ways other than electromagnetic waves. For instance gravitation

When we observe a galaxy in the sky we know it's velocity by the red shift. Then we should know that the size will appear smaller depending on the red shift. Dark Mater and Dark Energy may be the result that these entities are inside a negative space created by it moving faster than light towards us.

These concepts will create a host of new hypothesis that can be tested by scientists in future to give us better explanation of what is around us.

Twin paradox

paradox is: say there are two twins A and B. A takes a space ship and travels near the speed of light. B remains on earth. After some time A returns to earth. A will be younger than B. A, since it travels near speed of light will experience time dilation and his clocks including his biological clock will run slow compared to his earth twin B- Scenario X
.
It becomes a paradox why the same thing don't happen to B. Why only A gets younger and not B. B also will be traveling in the other direction compared to A.

The explanation given is, A first starts to accelerate to attain the required speed. Then after traveling it will decelerate to stop, it will turn and accelerate again coming back to earth, then it will travel to earth and decelerate to stop. When accelerating and decelerating A ceases to be in initial frames. But B always is in an initial frame. Therefore A and B are different.

This is a very lose explanation.It is very strange this explanation is accepted so long. Maybe success of time dilation experiments or a sham, obscured the correctness of the thought experiment.

Consider the same experiment - Scenario Y. After A makes the outward traveling and stops at some place, B will make the same travel to teach A. It is very obvious that now both A and B should be of the same age now. 

If we compare B's outward travel in Scenario Y,  to A's inward travel in Scenario X, there's only one difference, only the direction has changed. Because acceleration f, velocity v and declaration -f are same for both

Therefore this paradox cannot be explained by non-initial frames that A undergo. The same can be said of the grandfather paradox - you travel faster than light and go back in time to kill your grandfather, you cannot be born though you exist now.

Special Relativity was intended to solve the problem created by the Michelson Morley Experiment that light does not travel in a preferred reference frame. Therefore, logically, in one reference frame, one twin grows older than the other twin in a different reference frame cannot be true, because either twin cannot be in a preferred reference frame than the other.

Time travel for anyone

We went a trip. My wife said I forgot to bring an extra water bottle, then after sometime she said I forgot to bring a knife, yet sometime later she said I should have brought a cup to drink.

Now suppose she had a time machine each time she could have gone back in time and corrected the mistake.

So if we don't make a mistake we don't need to go back to correct it.
Small deviations are necessary for life or life will be so monotonous it will not be worth living.
So if we can live our life to full, we will never need a time machine to time travel to go back.
So live the life to full, don't make mistakes, at least not big ones.

Problem of atomic propositions

Suppose the universe consists of facts.

Each fact can be a thought. Therefore can be represented buy a proposition. And each proposition consists of one or more atomic propositions. Atomic proposition cannot consist two or more propositions, but only one.

Consider inside a room - a room in a house, all the facts inside it are represented by a set of atomic propositions. Consider a proposition about a pedestal lamp is inserted, we can imagine a room without a pedestal lamp now converted to one with a pedestal lamp. Like that facts can be added or removed.

A room is a space. It is a subset of the space of universe. Room should be represented by a single big composite proposition that show every aspect of the room. This proposition will be the conjunction of many atomic prepositions.

The universe is represented by the universal set of all possible atomic propositions.

Any possible proposition is a conjunction of -(set of elements consisting of) atomic propositions.

Then logically the room can be represented by a subset of universal propositions. Wrong! Why?

Consider a proposition that represent Mount Everest. It cannot go into a room. Therefore any subset of the universal set of propositions won't fit a room. We might lead to think it is because of size, but no, Mount Everest cannot be moved to Pacific Ocean. This is an impossibility. Can American Declaration of Independence be inside this room? No. Though the physical size permits, practically it is an impossibility. So factors involved can be unlimited. If it is my room an expensive chair be in the room is illogical. But if the room is of a millionaire it may be possible. But further, a photograph of painting of Mount Everest can be in my room. So not all but some propositions regarding Mount Everest will be acceptable to represent my room.

It means that any subset of the universal set do not represent a subspace of reality.

A subset of the universal set is any number of elements of it taken together.

Room is a subset of universe. But it will not be a subset in respect of conjunction of propositions.

Identifying repetitions is knowledge

Knowledge is finding repetitions in the environment. When the human brain develop from a baby to a grown man it will learn to identify religions. Even the brain is geared to deal with repetitions. More something is repeated more you remember.repetitions is a part of learning of the brain. Knowledge is something only related to a brain. It is true even for animals. Knowledge is used by animals in finding food, sex, survival of the species and other basic needs of life. Regarding humans it has gone beyond the basic needs. Lot of knowledge is utilised in hunting by lions or whales are examples. Maybe hunting is the origination of complicated knowledge. It is more complicated than just eating grass. Carnivores may have developed knowledge over the herbivores.

Each concept created by the human brain is the identification of a new repetition. Creating concepts is a continued process that is never ending, as long as human race exists. And after that artificial intelligence will take over.

If the universe is finite there will be finite number of patterns - repetitions. It will be possible to create a superior pattern from the basic pattern. Then more patterns can be created on these superior patterns. And the process can go on till you create an ultimate pattern. This pattern is ultimate knowledge, the god. W can term it as god sequence.

Finding the generalities, finding the connections is the same as searching for patterns or sequences.

Compressing multi dimensions to one

1,2,3.....is an infinite series. 2,4,6..... is also an infinite series. The total of both are equal to infinity. But strangely second one is not larger than the first one. Similarly there can exists a function that can transform each point in a two dimensional space to a single dimension. Similarly infinite dimensional space can be transformed to a single dimension.

Is this a contradiction? Can we transform space time to a single dimension. Or are there many Infiniti. Some Infiniti larger than others?

Dying man and God

A man was in his deathbed pondering about the life he lived. He was thinking, would he do anything different that would have changed the course of his life. God felt these thoughts of the man and appeared before him. The God asked do you like to relive your life again? The man started thinking, of course, why not. Then god asked, would you do anything different in your life? The man started thinking again. Then the man said no, I like everything that happened to be the same, I really had some good moments. Then the man started thinking about all the good moments he had in his life. Then he started remembering the bad moments he had suffered. Then the man said to God can I have only the good moments without the bad. Then god laughed and asked the man how can you separate the good moments from bad. All good was followed with bad and all bad was followed with good. Then the man said I don't like the bad parts, but, to have the good times I don't mind the bad parts.Then the god said, so you want relive the same life without any difference? the man said, yes. Then god said if it's the same life you are going to live and that life you have already lived then there is no meaning in living again.

Observer of universe

Intelligence, knowledge will not occur without an observer. Try to visualise a system of events without an outside observer. There will be no meaning in such a system if each element of the system were to analyse it's own experience and come to conclusions about the environment as a whole.Even if each element advertise it's own experience, you will need other elements to do the advertising - like photons, the problem is these advertising elements are also part of the system and there should exist a method to analyze the actions of these advertisers. On the other side, each element needs to know the whole universe which don't look very practical.

A better method is to have outside observers independent of the system to observe the happening of the elements.

This system will have elements which will be basic building blocks where action will be performed. Then there will be massage carriers that are independent of elements. Then there will be observers.
You can draw a parallel with a drama or a play. There will be actors who perform, then there is a medium that carry the message to the ordinance, and there is an ordinance that enjoys the play. The actors being human, cannot be barred from also being ordinance, but, ideally they should not.

The actors, ordinance and medium need to be independent. But like in a play they may be fused together. For instance message carriers - usually photons, are also elements, but the don't have a dual responsibility. When they carry massages the will cease to be elements. Most of the problems arise in a system when responsibilities are fused together. A good example is light signals in special relativity. They are the messenger but they are also elements.

Observer will have a memory that will record the events the elements played out. Then it will have the ability to identify symmetries in these records and compress the data. This will help it to use this compressed data to find out further symmetries and make more compressions. This compression and its symmetries are the knowledge. These compressions and symmetries are embedded in our brains are called knowledge. The more the person is able to find symmetries, the more knowledge he will have.

Memory alone in the brain will not constitute knowledge, when it is able to find symmetries of the memory and compress the data, finding more links in the data, it's knowledge will increase.

There is another twist in the observer. The scientific knowledge or universal knowledge happens when all the observers merge into one universal observer. This will give universal facts that everyone accepts.

Observer gives meaning to the system. Without him the system is just a random  set of events. Observer will find the patterns and the meaning of the system.
Observer can poke the system to obtain desired effects. This is seen in a play when the audience claps.

Observer may poke a system to get a response. There will be no difference between elements themselves doing something or observer poking the system. The difference will be observer can use the knowledge that he poked the system. This is casualty.

There are two kinds of observers, passive and active. Astronomy observers are passive they are unable to participate in astronomical events like birth of a supernova. An observer working in a lab say an particle accelerator will be actively poking on the elements being experimented.

The passive observer cannot guarantee casualty of events.
Active observer can state an event was caused by him. He will have empirical evidence that if he did not act the event will not take place.

We cannot ignore the observer and interpret the happening of events. Special relativity is a case where the influence of the observer is embedded in the theory itself that try to interpret events of moving frames.

The passive observer experiences while active observer experiments.

Teaching Religion

Religion is a focal point in almost all conflicts between countries and communities.It means a persons religion is responsible for most of conflicts. Religion is very different from ones ethnicity or citizenship. Citizenship depends on place of birth and parents citizenship. Religion and ethnicity depends on upbringing. But there is a fine difference. Ethnicity depends only inputs to the person. Education by teachers and guidance by parents and elders molds us to be ethnic. Though the eyes of general public, religion usually is very similar to ethnicity. But two are very different. It will be same for people who are shallow thinkers. For deep thinkers it is different. The sale thinkers will accept without questioning what is taught. Deep thinkers will always ask questions. General understanding is deep thinkers are very senior mature lot, but it is not so.very young children thinks deep. Everyone knows that they are the ones who ask most questions.When they grow up they stop asking and becomes more and more dumb. This is the fault of the education system. The ones we respect and accept as bright are the ones who ask less and listen and remember more.

Artificial Gaia

The environment we live in gives us imperial inputs to navigate us making us dynamic creatures. 95% -may be more, of it is visual. If we are all blind our world will be drastically different. Visual inputs are mostly responsible for mobility of creatures on earth.

What I am going to propose is a system more advanced and efficient navigation system for creature mobility. Well these creatures are not organic they are computers, or robots.

The system depends on GPS tracking and wireless communication. This will be an advanced Google Earth. The creatures of this environment will get their bearings by GPS and accelerometers built into them. The system needs a centralised mapping system of the whole environment we live in.

These creatures won't need eyes or any visual inputs to find their locations. To know their bearings they will use a centralised Google Earth database and a GPS tracker to find their bearings.

One important aspect will be Google Earth database will be updated and fine tuned with inputs of its users. Then this database will know all nooks and corners of the environment. The creature with the GPS tracker don't need eyes to know it's environment.

This type of system will have lot of advantages over biological Gaia environment. Because the number of environment factors will be greatly reduced.

This method will be much faster in processing data of the environment and very much suitable for semiconductor electronics or even the next generation advancement of it.

These robots do not need eyes, or any visual inputs to get their bearings of their environment, but will be using it to update the central database for the benefit of others.

We might need a more accurate GPS system, with more satellites, that are helped with ground based units to improve accuracy.

These systems will first appear in transport, to have driverless cars, trains and aircraft.

The robot in my house will first track every static thing in my house and record the data in a central database. The dynamic things in my house will have GPS trackers in them they will be advertising their location to others. This type of system will be a complete system that gives out location details to everyone. This is an alternate to our vision using light.

This can be referred as next generation species over organic, a robotic system using GPS tracking.

Mobility is a large part of becoming a species. Location awareness and locomotion are the integral parts of mobility. We have already made vast advances in locomotion but we lack far behind in location awareness. This is mainly due to our efforts trying to
emulate organic species ability to use light to do this. GPS tracking is more suited for artificial intelligence.

Even with the current technology a localised system inside a residential home can be created. Wifi system where multiple transmitters inside the house take the responsibility of GPS satellites. Each movable item in the house will have a tracker, this will give location and orientation of the item. Each different type of item will be identified as universals-like chair, and then identified their specific attributes by a scanner-or better the manufacturer of the item gives the scan and other attributes and made available when the user buys the item. The manufacturer can embed the tracker in the item. The source of energy can be a solar cell. The house builder will give all the details of construction where the details of all the locations are made available relative to the transmitters. A reboot don't need visual inputs to work inside the house. It can analyze the data from transmitters and household items to do the work inside the house.
