Just to observe that what is called a vacuum contains either light to enable physicists see that there is nothing inside the vacuum or darkness to frustrate them from seeing anything inside the space in question. But Eistein has told us that light is made of ether which is a particle hence the vacuum theory is nullified. If the vacuum contains darkness, but darkness is the oposite of light hence it too is matter incorporated, may be we called anti-ether. Consequently there is no vacuum.

    I would doubt Nom that any of this kind of void has anything to do
    with thoughts in physics about the nature of emptiness. This is about
    essential conditions in being. I'd admit to some similarities with
    relativity. There is stuff to learn from these sources though I don't
    see it boiling down to much.

    'Holes' come in for much philosophical treatment too. Early atomist
    theories made much of them and voids. Newton got rather a long way by
    construing space as separate from body. If the experience of
    emptiness is to make all relative then I can't make it as I'm sure I
    wouldn't stay here if all was such.

    “… If the experience of emptiness is to make all relative then I can't
    make it as I'm sure I wouldn't stay here if all was such.” – archy
     
    No need to leave then Neil!
     
    As far as I can tell, there is no ‘making’ involved…such activity
    would be like standing before one of Van Gogh’s Starry Night paintings
    and tagging it (spray painting it). In this sense, what is …is.
     
    In an apparently different sense, any such analysis of anything
    apprehended through the senses will include a related conceptual
    nature (as well as a contextual nature). Emptiness merely means the
    truth that anything is empty of inherent existence. No thing/thought
    arises out of nothing. Further, such things have component parts. If
    they are conceptual or perceptual, specific thoughts/words etc. are
    involved and have direct links to it and those so linked things are a
    part and parcel of the thing currently under investigation. Thus, it
    is related to other things/thoughts/concepts etc. Being so related
    directly implies a relationship and relative nature. This all
    identifies the set of relative/subjective ‘mind’.
     
    There also exists that which has no components or movement. This is
    the absolute/objective ‘mind’.
     
    And, we have in fact produced a synthetic separation here too.
     
    On a more mundane level, Albert E.’s addition of relativity to western
    thought has helped to support and change previous anti-metaphysical
    views. The result is the philosophical corner currently most find
    themselves painted into. A more practical level helps one to
    understand how politicians, educators, thinkers etc. now find no
    ‘center’…no ethos other than one without a possibility of actual
    ethics. This because ‘everything is relative’. Well, it is for their
    thinking…but not in any other way.

    There are some interesting bits and pieces around about close to light
    flight using dark matter. This would allow rapid acceleration to near
    the speed of light, but has a downside in that we would have to get
    close to the galaxy centre to find enough of the stuff (one reason the
    aliens ain't here is because we lack the stuff). One possibility
    would be to get out there using antimatter or fusion power. All ideas
    welcomed. Containing dark matter might be tough, but there may be
    particles that interaction strongly with it and our general stuff.
    And what about the biology of getting to and being at close to light
    speeds?

     

    archytas <arch...@live.co.uk> Nov 28 05:04AM -0800
     
    It is easier in my book Georges, thanks to no need for language for
    the characters other than in leisure pursuits. I did think of a big
    sail ship powered by lasers using energy from an array cooling the
    Earth. By the time I was reading about non-particle particles, the
    realisation I'm writing for three-quarter wits who struggle with
    elementary trig made me give up on staying too close to what might be
    in current speculation. The phrase metalanguage shorthand is useful.
    Can't find a beep on biological implications other than the clocks
    running slower etc.

    Some ‘True’ Physical and Religious fables and fantasies.
    ========
    Religion tells us nothing but fables and fantasies!
    That is the truth.
    For example: God created woman from Adam’s rib,
    using physical laws. So, what is Religion?
    Religion is the poor man's philosophy.
     
    Modern Physics tells us nothing but fables and fantasies!
    That is the truth.
    For example: One Galaxy can eat another Galaxy.
    #
    Cosmic cannibalising:
    Images show one galaxy engulfing another

    #
    The Discovery of one Galaxy "Attacking" Another
    http://www.astronomyexpert.co.uk/the-recent-discovery-of-one-galaxy-attacking-another.html
    . . .. etc
    So, what is Physics?
    Physics is the poor man's philosophy.
    == .
    What to do?
    I think we must answer to the simple classic question:
    what did come first the chicken or the egg ?
    If somebody didn’t understand this question, I will ask it simpler:
    What was before Vacuum or Gravity ?
    Does Gravity exist in Vacuum or vice versa?
    Why I ask these questions.
    Because the Universe ( as a whole ) is Two- Measured,
    there are two Worlds: Vacuum and Gravity.
    === .
    Some more ‘ true’ Physical fables and fantasies.
    === .
    1.
    The Big Bang.
    Once upon a time, 20 billions of years ago, all matter
    (all elementary particles and all quarks and their
    girlfriends- antiparticles and antiquarks, all kinds of
    waves: electromagnetic, gravitational, muons…
    gluons field ….. etc.) – was assembled in a ‘single point ‘
    === .
    I don’t agree with the ‘big bang’ theory because nobody
    knows how the ‘ big bang’ can change into ‘single point ‘
    if Hawking’s radiation from ‘ black hole’ doesn’t give it
    to happen.
    2.
    Most of elementary particles were got in artificial way,
    using accelerators. This way, in my opinion, is mistaken.
    === .
    In the Ancient Egypt people believed in many gods with
    human body and animal’s head. They thought they really
    existed. For me these new discovered elementary artificial
    particles are similar to Egyptian’s gods because we cannot
    meet them into any atom, in any physical, chemical, biological
    processes on our Earth.
    In the Ancient Greek the people believed that sphinxes and
    centaurs really exist. Maybe now some geneticists can create
    a centaur, but it will be Devil’s work. I am sorry to tell that,
    but it seems to me, physicists, creating such elementary
    artificial particles look like those ‘some geneticists’.
    ( The mad CERN’s way.
    http://www.spacekb.com/Uwe/Forum.aspx/astronomy/13338/The-mad-CERN-s-project
    )
    =========== .
    3.
    Once upon a time, 20 billions of years ago, there was ‘ bin bang’.
    And every particle appears with its own spin as derivative from
    the Big Bang.
    == .
    I think the spin of quantum particle doesn’t come from
    big bang, but it comes with ‘ virtual particle from Dirac’s sea’.
    Why?
    We have the real particle – electron. Nobody doubts
    it is a real particle. But a strange thing happens when it
    interacts with Vacuum. All its physical parameters become
    infinite. Why? Is it possible? What is the reason?
    #
    The conditions of the ocean permitted to create different kinds
    of fish. The terrestrial’s conditions permitted to create different
    kinds of animals. And the ‘mixed’ conditions of water, earth
    and air on Earth permitted to create, for example, birds, which
    live and act in these three conditions.
    And if we take Universe as a whole, it is Two- Measured:
    close by Material ( Gravity) World exists Infinite Vacuum World.
    The conditions in these two Worlds are different.
    And when electron moves from Material (Gravity) World to the
    Infinite Vacuum World its physical parameters changes.
    " The law of conservation and transformation energy / mass"
    is connected with electron’s transformation.
     
    We know the electron is very important particle in our live.
    It acts in Maxwell’s electrodynamics.
    It acts in the atom.
    But how electron acts in cell and in Outer space we don’t know.
    We need time to understand this fact.
    === .
    P.S.
    Tell me what an electron is and I'll then tell you everything.
    / Somebody./
    ==== .
    Another ‘ true’ Physical fables and fantasies:
    The time that stretches and space that expands,
    dark matter, dark energy, Higgs boson, quarks, gluons
    and tachyons, axions and partons, qravitino ,
    ‘ method of renormalization ‘ . . etc.
    ========== .
    P.S.
    " One thing I have learned in a long life:
    that all our science, measured against reality, is primitive
    and childlike - and yet it is the most precious thing we have."
    / Einstein./
    This quote is correct, because, at last, only Physics can
    logically explain us the Ultimate Nature of Reality.

    The Topic "Different points of view" in itself is a great subject of
    discussion where everyone can explore his/her own potentials and knowledge
    about anything that exists in our Universe/country/society/village/
    town/lane/home and above all within his/her own existence. Its like a
    nuclear chain reaction where every single atom is exited to the extent
    to utilize its last existence.

IMHO vacuum it is only possible in language, and frankly I doubt that
too, because we need the word to refer it. I agree there is no vacuum.
Although there is a meaning, this is, we refer to vacuum, and that's
it.

We'll all end up doing the hoovering at this rate. Much is defined by
what it is not. A vacuum is in a tube we have used the vacuum pump
on. We stick the smouldering taper into such a tube and it goes out.
In the tube with the oxygen in, it relights. Some Belgian guy looks
at mayonaisse and concludes vacuums are only empty (of certain stuff)
on average. I look at the bastard who's just put some on my chips as
a thoughtless get who should have asked me. I am vacuous compared
with the Belgian guy, but at least can't be accused of spoiling chips
with yellow muck. We model space between protons and electrons, then
fire neutrons at water and are 'told' it is H 1.5 O and begin talk of
entanglement. Georges breathes fire. I was at a conference with some
poncey organisational aestheticists some years back. An Italian said
hypertext was a visual medium. I said bollox - my blind mate was
aware of it. We laughed and had a drink. I liked him. One day, we
may fly to the stars on energy tapped from the vacuum (I favour a
Heath Robinson device based on my Mum's old Hoover Junior). Is light
skiing over the Higg's Field that other material can only swim in
treacle through? You are right in this 'logic' Carlos.
