Before after and spatiality

When we say event A happened after event B, we usually forget spatiality of the occurrence of  A and B. To have meaning in before and after both events should happen at same location. If it occurs in two locations we need to rely on an agent that moves from one location to other. In special relativity this agent is a light signal or set of photons.Even in special relativity it is vague, it don't use a single photon but Einstein used a set of photons and called the agent a light signal. There are lots of problems with this association for example quantum theory and uncertainty principal.

Simultaneous actions practically do not exist. Both actions should take place in the same location. Two actions cannot take place in the same point in space.If it happens, then it is one action.

Time and Casualty

Time and Casualty are inseparable. They goes hand in hand. One cannot exist without the other. Take the example of a child growing to a man. Man exists live in. because child existed. Man was caused by the child. Child came first then came man. Child was before and man was after. Before and after signifies time. Time and Casualty are not attributes of the universe but they are pseudo attributes created by man to interpret the environment they live in. They are not attributes of environment.
Man is unable to interpret his environment without time and space. And also casualty. Space is more near to environment than time. But without rigid bodies man is unable to comprehend space. Space may be there but you need rigid bodies to measure it. However, with the sense organs of man, he is able to comprehend it. With the help of Reid bodies he even measure it. Time measuring is more complex. It need multiple type of data to measure it. It needs two things. It needs an oscillator and a counter. The oscillator can be earth moving around sun or an vibrating atom. But the counter is complex, it is an observer. Can it be performed other than a human being? A man made machine like a Computer can do it. It is very difficult to answer whether the counting process can exist without a man.
A mountain eroding with whether can be a time measure!
Language is the culprit. The principal of causation is built into language. Most sentences of language depicts causation. The base of our thinking and knowledge is language.
The logical conclusion that can be arrived is, time and causation is part of the language created by us to communicate our knowledge.

Consider these sentences. I kicked the dog. Then it howled.
The howling was caused by the kicking. The kicking was before and howling was after. Time consists of two attributes Before and After is one measuring time is the other. Time and measuring of time are two things. The confusion created by thinking both are same makes us imagine things like time reversal, time machines and what happens few seconds after big bang. Language created time, then used physical phenomena to measure it.

Measuring time needs a cyclic event, a counter and before & after concept. Without before & after the cyclic event is not possible. cyclic event needs at least two specific events that occurs alternatively. Then casualty is needed to link this to the counter - the counter increments at the occurrence of the same event.

Measuring time is a higher concept than the basic concept of before and after. Small children first do not understand the concept of before & after. You need to teach it. This alone is evidence that it is a concept created by humans. This can be contrasted with space, without any teaching, inputs by our sense organs is sufficient for us to understand space. Concept of time is not related to our senses. So is the concept of before & after. Time cannot be comprehended by our senses. We need an external tool like a watch to do it.

Bribes and tips

Tip is a form of bribe, giving something expecting a better service. What is given, being, after the service, will not change its form. In case of tips it is the general understanding that it should be given in the end of the service. There is a general understanding even how much should be given. But this is a pressure for most people who are unfamiliar of the process. They will always start to think whether they overpaid or underpaid. It is really comfortable to live in a country like Japan. There no-one gives tips nor expects a tip.
I feel all countries that promotes foreigners in their countries should aim to phase out giving tips.Because they will be the ones who are unfamiliar in giving tips. Not bold enough to offend locals, usually they over pay, living in unfamiliar circumstances.
This is a pressure on foreigners, so if you want to promote tourism tips are not a good attribute. It will be difficult to do away of it immediately because it will affect directly livelihood of some people.
So take action to discourage it and have alternative forms like adding it to the cost and give a commission to the servers.

Instinct and empathy

Morality sympathy
Emotion
make People happy
Sensory inputs
Thought

Life a constant struggle sympathy and instinct.

Sympathy I mean, to do good others to help others etc. This is part of the survival of the species process. Looking after your sick parents superficially may not help survival of yourself. But you do it so that your children seeing your actions may in turn look after you. It is part of the insurance scheme you employ to look after yourself when you are old. In other words investment done for your old age.

God in a Computer

It is very difficult to fit all qualities of god or all just qualities humans in general believe in, to a single being like king or persistent. They will be good sometimes and bad other times. The world is full of bad dictators where we can't get rid.

Solution may lie in a Computer. Everyone will get together and program it (it needs artificial intelligence). In future not only it will be possible it may become necessary. Strange! we giving our control to a machine.

Well doing it with individuals have failed. We get together and appoint a president, but most of the time that individual is not acting as he should. Whatnot give this responsibility to a machine?.

Someday it may, or rather will happen. This may be a disturbing thought. But we will be unable to do anything about it.

Humans are not capable of acting in a godlike manner. Certain necessary qualities of humans like jealousy, love, etc go against becoming god. Therefore we need to import a god.

Religion is an attempt of doing it. But it being closely connected with humans, their qualities creep in. This is evident by all the bad things we hear about priests of all religions. priests are curators of religion but being also humans they fault.

So, why not give it to something that do not fault. If it is not human it will have to be a machine.

Currently, since these machines are nonexistent we try to emulate them by using multiple humans. Expecting each others bad traits will cancel out. Parliament is one form of such experiment. But we always find it being erred.

Consciousness and a Computer program

Consider the computer program with the algorithm: start, do something, goto start. This program will iterate for ever if there is no external interruption.Consciousness is a program that iterate like this.

Even when we become unconscious this will not stop. Because we are able to recall events before.It stops only when we die, then we reach the state of cannot recall.

Our brain is active even when we are unconscious. It gives signals to breadth etc.

The activity of being conscious has one to one relation to a iterating computer program. We will be able to understand about what is consciousness by analogousing it to an iterating computer program.

A computer can be made a conscious being if it can run sufficiently complicated program that takes into account all its inputs and run a iterating program.

Casualty and arrow of time

I feel there is a direct link between casualty and arrow of time. One thing both can be phenomena of the human brain.If human didn't exist both these may not be useful concepts.

Casualty and arrow of time are both same concept or children of some other concept.

Arrow of time is the relation between some event B happens after event A. The other way round will definitely never happens. This does have a direct relation to event A causes event B.

Consider there exists an event A that causes event B - this is casualty. Then definitely event A precedes event B. This is arrow of time.

If casualty do not exist then there does not exist some event A that causes event B. Then we are unable to find happening of some event A that precedes event B. And no arrow of time.

Relations and properties

Properties are connected to the real world while relations are mental. TV and it's remote has a relationship this is pure mental. A remote emits infrared signals when buttons are pressed-this is a property, this is physical, this is connected to real world. But it being a remote of the TV is a mental process. A marble has physical properties like it is made from glass, it may have colours. But the concept of two marbles in a box is mental.
However, property glass or color are also relations. Our minds have the concept of glass from lot of experiences we had about the physical world.It is the same with color. Color and glass are concepts formed by multiple relations in the brain. Two is also a concept in our brain.In the end all properties are concepts of brain. So physical properties are all concepts of brain? So how to differentiate the physical world and concepts of brain? So what is real and what is mental? Is nothing real? Is reality inside our brain and nothing is real - idealist.

Our experience of the world.

Currently only quarks are empirical everything else is mental. They are the only objects of existence in extension of Kant's principal. space and time, everything else are in our minds.  This is an
We cannot have knowledge of things as they are in themselves, independent of the conditions of our experience of them. But, most elementary elementary particles are excluded.
Well there is a problem, consider a sphere and a cube both collection of quarks, but if these are only mental creations, it can't be, why is the mental creation different?
These two both have symmetries. But the symmetries are different, we attach different signatures to each.These signatures have attributes, that are mental.

About music it is much easier to think that it can exist without our brains. But, money it is much more difficult to imagine without human brain.

Problem of teaching maths

Current global problem of mathematics becoming more and more difficult to learn and less and less children wants to learn maths. The reason is maths do not stimulates young minds. Why is it? When you look into philosophy you get the answer. Maths is a priori. The meaning is, it does not come from reality it comes from pure reasoning. We know that one plus two is three. But we can't prove it. We may be able to show it with apples, one apple added to two apples results in three apples. This  is exactly the problem. It is absolutely necessary to show this apple method to a young mind for it to comprehend that one plus two is three.
The world has advanced from the day the  shepherd used knots in a string to count his sheep - the beginning of maths. Now the shepherd will be using a smart phone to keep his statistics.
Because of this leap we trends to forget the beginning, and more importantly using to show instead of stating maths. We state one plus two equals three and forget the apples. Strictly speaking the apples are not necessary for mathematics. Well, behold, it is useless only after we become conversant with maths. When we started learning it was the walking sick, now that we have climbed the hill we don't need it.We can throw it now. All little children need it, to start learning maths.

As advanced adults we have now forgotten the walking stick. The world has become so advanced it is difficult for us adults, to unrestrained the need of the walking stick. Then we also find that some young do not need the walking stick. They are quite clever to understand that one plus two equals three without the help of apples. These children can easily remember it. They know the addition table by heart. They also becomes professors in maths.
But what about general public understanding of maths. They understand it only superficially. For them the apples is a necessity.
So what is the solution?
The solution is create a trigger to simulate interest in maths. Use history of maths. Like bathing  Archimedes in the tub, running naked after discovery of the concept of upwards pressure equals to displaced water.  This story cemented the principal and I will never forget it.

You can always attach a story, the history how each principal came about. But there's a problem, teachers don't know the history of science. You teach history of science to teachers, then students will become good in maths.

War, Birth Control and health of Earth

We need a healthy earth to sustain life for, now and future. The animal population is controlled by predators and survival of the fittest.

But there is a problem with human population. Earth to be healthy can sustain only one billion, but now it is seven billion, and growing.

Spreading of democracies, diplomacy between countries, organizations like U.N. led to lesser wars. Further, countries becoming large and powerful with more and more deadly arsenal like nuclear bombs understands the danger of war. It may wipe out large populations and contaminate earth making life unsustainable.

On top of this advances of science and technologies improved health reducing mortality and increasing life expectancy.

Strangely all good things and values we appreciate is not good for earth's health and goes against sustenance of life.

Unfortunately the concepts like populating space that was in 1960s didn't materialize. It is very evident that even populating oceans and seas by making under water worlds is not a reality. All these advancements in science to utilise currently uninhabitable places have failed, even if possible can be done only in small scale due to costs involved.

The world understood economics much later then pure sciences. People now realise that certain things cannot be done due to costs involved. Actually certain advancements in science stalled due to costs. Definitely space exploration is one. Exploration diverted in directions where profits can be earned or at least targeted. The value of money is mostly responsible to these changes.

However, no-one still realise only by birth control we can overcome these difficulties. We should not live on dreams, we must consider the reality. It should be appreciated the policies adopted by China to control population.

Parliament and law making

The upper house usually consists of eminent persons from society. They are knowable persons from society capable of being law gives. The law making process should start from upper house. These laws should be laws that goes to the root of society not things like how to collect tax. This type of shallow laws should be the responsibility of lower house.
After laws are made from upper house to be democratic to should go to lower house. But lower house can either pass it or delay it, with maximum delay is the term of the house. The first responsibility of the newly elected lower house is to consider these delayed legislation.
Unfortunately the current systems are other way round. In such systems majority always crush the will of minorities. If such a change is possible we can have the will of all instead of will of majority. This might be a solution for the internal strifes in countries.
