Time

medium_688px-MontreGousset001.jpg

What is time ?
Time is our universe's fourth dimension. It is something that is relative from an observer to another.
Time is measured in physics by the speed of light.
The speed of light in a vacuum, is constant for all observers. It is 30,000 KM/Sec.
But as time is the fouth dimension in our universe, we should ask, what is a dimension ?
A dimension, is a measurment required to define the characteristics of an object.

There are some theories, that explain dimensions as a measurment created by the brain.
What does that mean ?
These theories, state that all dimensions exist within our universe. But our brain does'nt the ability to observe all the dimensions at once. What i mean is that the universe has only one dimension, but it is our brain perception that divide this dimension into many other dimensions.
Let's have an example according to this theory:
This theory says, that all events occur in the same time, or to be more specified, there is no time. But our brain does'nt have the ability to percieve all these information at the same time, so it created the dimension of time to put the events into series.
Only less than 10% of our brain is active. And the more the technological advancment develops, the more this brain activity decreases.
So, to support that theory, we have an example that explains a lot.
Sometimes when we sleep, we dream of some events, and they really occur when we wake up.
There are two explanations for that phenomena.
First one: Some people does'nt remember the dream untill it becomes true, so they have the feeling that they saw that event before. This phenomena is called "Deja vu". It is a French phrase that means in english, "Already seen".
There are many explanations for this phenomena.
One of them, is that the left eye sees before the right eye, so it stores the information in the brain before the right eye knows it. So finally you just restore the recent stored information from your brain.
Another explanation is, as everyone knows, when we percieve some information from the outside world, our brain takes this information to proccess them and check if they are new or old information, then it gives you a sign which indicates if this is a new information for you or no.
What happens, is nothing more than an error in the processing of these information. It just gives you the sign that these information are not new. It gives you this sign by error.
Second one: Some people remember the dream, and are surprised when they find that it coming to be true.
The explanation is, the brain activates more than the 10%, so it helps us to see the future, to brake the time dimension.

Here is a question:
Is time travel possible ?!
Mental time travel, could be possible by activating more than the 10% in the brain.

Physical time travel is theoratically possible. If you moves in the speed of light, time will be ZERO. No time will pass. If you moves faster than light, you go backward in time. And if you move very close to the speed of light, you will go forward in time.
But someone would ask, how could we go forward in time ?!
Here is an explanation in a though experiment:
The twins paradox:
one of two twin brothers undertakes a long space journey with a high-speed rocket at almost the speed of light, while the other twin remains on Earth. When the traveler returns to Earth, he is younger than the twin who stayed on Earth.
That's because, as getting closer than speed of light, as time will pass faster.

Some people have claimed that they are time travelers, and one of them was one of the most controversial issues in science.
John Titor:
He is a person who claimed that he is a time traveler from year 2036, and has prediected many future events to prove that he is true. To find more about John Titor, check his home page here.

There are places in the universe, that time is equal to Zero. No time passes. And this places, are the black holes.
A Black hole is an object with a gravitational field so strong that nothing can escape it — not even light.

Finally, time is something that is within our perception, we can control it, it exists inside our brain, but we dont know if it exists physicaly in the outside world.

You choose the history you would like, for our universe !

How can we get number "9" by addition ?
We have many possibilities. 1+8, 2+7, 3+6, 4+5, and many other possibilities that contain decimal numbers.
What that means ?!
It is means that, as the added numbers determine the answer, also the answer determines the added numbers.
The number "9" (as an answer), determines the possibilities for getting this answer.

Let me explain.

How to build a universe ?!
First step: Start at the beginning of time.
Step Two: Apply the laws of physics.
Step Three: Sit back, and watch the universe evolve.
Step Four: Cross your fingers and hope that it comes out looking something like the one we live in.

Now, here is a question:
When u turn on a light source (Lamp for example), what path does the light photons take, to reach your eyes ?
When a light photon travels from a lamp to your eye, it moves in a straight line, but it also travels to Jupiter and back !
In the double slit experiemnt in Quantum Mechanics, the way to interpret the quntum phenomena, was to assume that when a particle travels from point A to point B, it doesnt simply take one path ... But it takes every possible path similtaneously; the photon travels through both slits at the same time and interferes with itself.
The obvious question is, why do we see only one path straight and simple ?!
Dr. Richard Feynman's answer was, because all the other paths cancel each other out. Each path can be mapped out as a wave. Each wave has a different phase (effectively a starting time), and all the waves added together, create an "interference pattern", building upon one another where their phases align and cancelling each other out where their phases are mismatched. The sum of all the waves is one single, which describes the path we observe.

Applied to the universe, this idea has an obvious implication. Just as a particle is travelling from point A to point B, takes every possible path in between, so too must the history of the universe.
In one history, the earth has never formed.
In another, Al Gore is the American president.
There are infinite possibilities which form parallel universes.
If we could stand outside the universe, we would see the present affecting the past, by giving the possibilities that end up with our current present.

Finally, we have now a new set for building a universe.
Step One: look around you.
Step Two: Find the set of all possible histories that end up as a universe like the one we see.
Step Three: Add them together, and create a history for yourself.

Water is alive !

An eternal argument, is between creationists and evolutionists.
Creationists believe, that human has been created by god.
Evolutionists say, that human has been evolved from different speicies.

One of the main arguments of creationists is, that life cannot come from non-living elements. As evolutionists say that some elements was interacted with water to form life. As both sides, say that water is a basic element for life.
But, is really water, a non-living element ?!

A Japanese professor called "Masaru Emoto", has proved that water is a living being.
He said that water is formed by crystals.
He photographed some water crystals with his microscope camera.
He found that, these crystals are affected by sounds, shapes, and words.
Not only that ... but also has memory !

When he says the word "Hitler" to the water, it takes a very bad shape. And when he tells it the word "I love you", it takes a very lovely shape !

I will leave the reader now to make his/her own conclusion !

Here are some pictures:

Where did language come from ?!

An easy question, with a hard answer.
First, we must define what is language?!
A language is a system of signals, such as voice sounds, gestures or written symbols that encode or decode information.
Many scientists from different fields of science, are involved in answering this question.

Christain theologians believe that at the beginning of humanity, in Babel, there was only one language. Then some angels came to the earth and differetiated between humans, to make them create new languages.
In arabic, the word "Babel", came from the action the angels had, to make new languages - As the book of Genesis mentioned -

But no one yet agrees on when language was first used by humans (or their ancestors). Estimates range from about two million (2,000,000) years ago, during the time of Homo habilis, to as recently as forty thousand (40,000) years ago, during the time of Cro-Magnon man.
Other living beings, have their own way of language.
Ants for example, have chemical language.
Birds, have voice languages.
Human, had body language, then symbolic language, then spoken one.

So during the human evolution by natural selection, language has been evolved.
But how did this happen ?!

Is there a relation between what we see as a specific shape, and its name ?!

Now, we have here two images. Figure 1 (At left), and Figure 2(At right).medium_Booba.JPG
medium_Kiki.JPG







And we also have two words, "Booba", and "Kiki".
Here is my question.
Which is "Booba", and which is "Kiki" ?!
Approximately 100% of people will say that "Booba" is Figure 2, and "Kiki" is Figure 1.
How this happened ?!
During the human evolution from a specie to another, the relation between human and the environment around him, was evolving.
The human base system, is the brain. It is where all neural functions occur.
The human interaction with the environment, always affects these neural activities.
By these effects, new nerves systems appear, and new connections occur between them.
With more interactions with the environment, connections between the Auditory cortex, the Visual cortex, and the limbic system(emotional system in the brain), have been created (As shown in Figure 3).
medium_Brain_Language.jpg








What we see, are not only light waves that get into our retina, then transformed as electric signals to our optical system in the brain. But also a feeling, that is translated in our limbic system.
For example, when you see a circle, you see it, and feel it.
The same, is for hearing.
What we hear, are not only sound waves that get into our ears, then transformed as electric signals to our auditory system in our brain. But also a feeling that is translated in our limbic system.
When you hear a specific voice, you hear, and feel it.
That's because the connection between the limbic system, visual cortex, and auditory cortex.

Return to "Booba", and "Kiki".
The word "Booba", is a word that you can hear. So, you also can feel it. Because it is translated into two meanings in your brain. An auditory meaning, and an emotional meaning. The same, is for the word "Kiki".
The "Booba" shape, also have a meaning in your visual cortex, and your limbic system. It is translated into, emotional, and visual meanings. And the same, is for the "Kiki" shape.
Why did people choose the word "Booba" for the Booba shape, and the word "Kiki" for the Kiki shape ?!
That's because visual and emotional signals of the word, is similar to its auditory signals !
That's why nearly all people choosed the same word for the same shape.
And that's one of the theories of the appearance of human language.
