Time

Speed

If I claim that time is a non-thing, then our thoughts turn to speed. We specify speed as distance travelled, divided by the time taken. Miles per day, kilometres per hour, metres per second. Distance per number of oscillations in the clock. Note that indicated speed depends on whether the clock is moving with the object or by a stationary observer. When an object moves, its distance relative to all other objects changes. Two objects on the same path can have differing rates of relative distance change. That rate of relative distance change is speed. Time does not come into it. In other words, something can be moving twice as fast as something else, because the rate of relative distance change is double the other. Oscillations in the clock are not absolute. They vary depending on the motion of the clock. Speed is a comparison not a value. A multiple of relative distance change compared with other objects.

I am sure someone, somewhere, at some point tried to contest a speeding ticket using the claim that the car was travelling at minus 550 miles per hour rather than 50. That would be the case at a certain latitude where the Earth rotates at 600 miles per hour. Speed is relative. There is no definitive speed, but a range of speeds in relation to various points of reference. You speed in relation to the sun is quite different to the speed in relation to the moon. Clocks placed on different planets will not display the same rate of internal oscillations compared with each other. What we consider to be this point in time, now, is not a fixed point. Now is in constant motion. Yesterday is only an idea. We think of it as where everything was positioned relative to one another previously. There is no back in time, but how things were - the state of things before they all moved. However, there is no record of where every atom was positioned previously. Tomorrow never comes, because when every tomorrow comes that tomorrow becomes today. I will plagiarise a promise; you can have jam yesterday or tomorrow but never today. Believing in tomorrow will leave you salivating but never eating.

The entropy factor ensures that we are unable to put everything back to how it was. A time traveling machine needs to make time a thing first. Then adjust every atom in the entire universe in way that runs counter to what makes it work in the first place.

Some people are happy with the idea that god made the universe, god is everlasting, has always existed and you are here to spread a message to every corner of the globe. I am not happy or convinced that that is the only possibility. In fact, I think that the universe is not quite as it seems and more to the point did not need a designer. The magic of whole numbers. The only way - how things congregate, how they can only congregate in certain ways. The evidence is all around us showing how simple basic structures produce beautiful complexity. There is an inherent will to form. There are remarkable changes in the properties of chemistry when the numbers change.

Did it take a genius to devise the number series 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 etc? That series leads to some rather joyous facts. One can arrange things neatly with certain numbers of objects. Nine objects can be made into a square, three by three. Thirty-six is more joyous. That number of objects can be arranged into both a square, six by six or a triangle with sides eight-eight-eight. These examples show congregation in one plane. Structures congregate across all planes.

The central object is the central point to the greatest argument of all time. Here in lies the magic of existence. You can only fit six true atoms around a central one – on a single place. You can only fit twelve true atoms around a central one using all planes. For this reason alone, we can be certain beyond all measure that there is only one way a universe can be created. This implies the phenomenal truth that a universe is not created but comes into being without any need for designing. It needs no designer. You can’t fit seven/thirteen around the core, that number will not fit. A lower number leaves room for more. This most elementary policy tells you that there is only one way the universe can be built. No matter what universe were to come into fruition the same numerical issues arise.

God must be a mathematician proclaim those holding on to the vestiges of hope and reason. Alas this is an inherent property of numbers. It takes no mathematical skill whatsoever to devise the rules for patterns. Whole numbers create patterns all by themselves with no input, no intelligence and no direction whatsoever. Patterns develop by themselves.

One may glance at the patterns objects make when sitting side by side and be rather bemused asking, what if the spheres are of differing sizes? Indeed, or for that matter what if something called ‘space time’ bends structures? The wizards whip out a strip of paper. They put a twist in this said bit of paper then join the ends. They run their finger along the strip all the way around back to where they started. They will, as if by magic, show that the journey manages to go through the plane of the paper. Magic is never magic but some illusion, some sleight of hand or a thing to trick our inaccurate senses. I take the strip from their grasp and lay it flat upon the table. After drawing two lines along the length, one straight the other zigzagged, I request they join the two lines after performing the twist and linking. The lines meet not. Only one line meets. Only one chain of atoms can link. There is no magical passing through a plane without passing through a plane. It is an optical illusion. Space doesn’t bend or warp. Space is space containing forces and fields that do not always follow straight parallel lines. I will come back to the differing size element in a few paragraphs hence. This is a significant thing to consider. For now, focus on the concept of congregation and patterns that form based on numbers involved in the tiling. Squares, cubes, diamonds, pseudo-circles etc.

A circular effect is true and evident. As is a spherical effect. However, a physical circle or sphere is not to be found in the world we live in. Not a true circle that is. As you add more dots to the circular path it becomes, you got it, more circular. Circular is a human concept. Circles are x sided shapes. We give them names, triangle, square, pentagon, hexagon. The more sides, the better the circle appears to be. No matter how many dots you use you will always have a straight-line distance between the dots, not a curved distance. Hence, why Pi (π) is irrational and transcendental.
