12. Beauty of the Universe of Quantum Dancing

We know that the ultimate, unique source elementary particle is eluding us now that we have identified so many elementary particles (including antiparticles and super-particles): from which fundamental particle did these elementary particles emerge from ( ….) or  the source of so many particles was nothing but the infinitesimal infinitely-dense point-like energy concentrate with which the Big Bang started?

We have not yet been able to settle the issue: whether the energy concentrate was the egg and the elementary particles the eggs or the elementary particles formed the multiplicity of eggs that produced the single chicken of energy concentrate that preceded the formation of eggs. We just explored the possibility of a Nothing from which the energy concentrate emerged. But the question remained: Energy first or the elementary particles first.  The only solution is to treat them as one and the same thing in different forms.

But more perplexing possibilities haunt us in our investigation into the elementary particles. Energy is now known to be available in discrete units of one Quanta particle and not as continuous! On top of this, we have come to know that the elementary particles appear as particles or as waves depending on how to interact with them with our detecting and measuring instruments. Quantum physics deals with discrete, indivisible units of energy called quanta. Quantum Theory tells us about the behavior and characteristics of sub-atomic matter (electrons, protons and neutrons) and energy. The physical properties of the subatomic particles, like the momentum and position cannot be determined at a time. If one value is known precisely, the measurement of the other value is less accurate.

*Energy is discontinuous and exists in small packets, called quanta

* According to the Principle of Wave-Particle Duality, the subatomic particles behave as particles, as well as waves. The same “object” may appear to be a particle (locatable in a single place), or a wave, spread out over space and time (A particle is a solid object with a specific location in space and time while a wave is neither solid nor localized but spread out like a wave in water). Recent experiments assert that the elementary particles may in fact exhibit simultaneously both particle like and wave -like behavior. This duality may be arising out of Entanglement of particles: particles are never independent - they get linked

*The subatomic particles move in a random manner. Particles being in more than one place at once (a recent experiment found that one particle could be in up to 3,000 places!)  Subatomic particles seem to travel instantaneously over any expanse of space (even though Einstein said that nothing can travel faster than the speed of light) .In classical physics one could determine with certainty where a particle would go, given any set of conditions, but in quantum physics, one can never know with absolute certainty how a specific thing will turn out and can only specify probabilities of alternative locations to which a particle may shift. It is physically impossible to know both the position and the momentum of a particle at the same time. The more precisely one is known, the less precise the measurement of the other is.

*As per Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, the process of observing appears to influence what is being observed: when the observer attempts to observe or interact with the dancing damsels of subatomic matter/ energy, the observed changes nature from being a state/wave of probability to a particle. The act of measurement is creating that very reality it is measuring. Thus, when one is not observing or measuring, the electrons or photons (particles of light) act as waves: they have no precise location, but exist as “probability fields”. But, when one is observing or measuring, they appear as particles: the probability field “collapses” into a solid object locatable in a specific place and time.

The magical dance of quantum energy is the greatest shock that science have ever experienced and enjoyed for the last eleven decades bewildering the smartest men like Einstein. When an electron moves from orbit to orbit around the nucleus, it does not move through space the way we would think, instead it moves instantaneously: it just disappears from from one place in one orbit to appear instantaneously in another place in another orbit. The best the scientists could do is give up the attempt to determine with certainty exactly where the electron would appear or jump on to but calculate the probabilities of its jumping into different alternative locations using Schrödinger’s wave equation.

Weirdness of the microscopic universe of particles is fascinating. The thoughts of the ancient Indians 4000 years back that seemed to us as unscientific and imagination of the child now seems to no longer weird. Modern scientists claim that a change in the spin of one particle in a two-particle system seem to affect its twin simultaneously even if the two are separated by great distance in space: separated articles seem to in contact despite their distance in space. There may not be any transmission of signals between different particles separated by space: information seems to get transmitted from one to the other particle. We are still able to figure out how?.
Maybe information of the entire universe is contained in each of its parts (like any part of an Hologram providing the same image of the whole hologram itself.

Finally, some elementary particles may be soon termed as fairy tales: light appears quantized only because of the way it interacts with matter and protons may not really exist.

The perspective of Science has undergone a radical change with the discovery of the magical dance of the quantum damsels. The Knower  itself seem to be a part of the Knowledge acquired or  to be known. The reality is no longer an objective independent of the experience of the Knower. Each part of the Universe, however small or big part, seem to have multiple existences separated by distances over space.  It is not just three: particle, anti-particle and super symmetry particles but infinite number of existences. The Universe maybe an agglomeration of multiple universes. You and I may be in existence simultaneously in different locations of the Universe.

11. Questions About Nothing of Cosmic Myth@200BC

An imaginary Nothing has been developed in the previous post. That Nothing is a consistent extension of the CosmicMyth @200BC and CosmicMyth @2010. We can now imagine the Creation of the Universe from Nothing and within an all pervasive, indestructible and infinite Nothing.
But there may be many concepts about this imaginary Nothing.
First, if Nothing is continuously generating  energy, where does the new energy go after our Universe has been created. There are two ways to deal with this. First, there may be many more Universes being created (Multi-verse Creation). Second, if the infinite speed of motion of the imaginary lines is variable, we can provide for energy utilisation within the system of Nothing.
Second, how did Time arise from Nothing. In two ways: the speed of movement of the lines gives rise to a concept of time. Second, if Time came after Big Bang which is the creation of Nothing, Time is ultimately sourced in the Nothing.


Third, if the imaginary lines are continually moving, then does Nothing any longer remains static and unperturbed? Yes, it does. First, infinite speed movement of indistinguishable imaginary lines leaves no scope for change in the formless form and content of Nothing. Second, even after generating energy, the imaginary lines remain the same and does the same thing.
Fourth, how did Space gets generated from Nothing. It is just the same way as the Big Bang did. And the space gets created over the domain of the Nothing of imaginary lines. The imaginary lines passes through all the points in the universe whether matter, energy or space including empty spaces. The Universe is in the Nothing and expanding in Nothing. Nothing is of higher order infinity than the infinite Universe (and even the infinity of the union of multiple universes).
 Fifth, does the Universe gets back into a State that there is nothing called Universe in the Nothing?Rather, does the Universe die in the Nothing? Yes, all this is possible but not necessary. Big Bank expansion gives way to Big Crunch and the Universe continues all the time occupying from just an infinitesimal part of the Nothing or a lower order infinite part of the infinite order infinite Nothing. If there is Black death, this also occurs in Nothing and the continuous energy generation can revive black death into action too.


Six, how do the imaginary intersect, overlap and create a mess and yet remain in perpetual infinite speed motion? The imaginary lines are no-mass charge neutral constructs and therefore there is frictionless intersections and overlap, especially as the the Nothing as an agglomeration is indivisible. The lines are merely an imaginary analytical construct to help understand the phenomenon of motion within the Nothing. The imaginary lines do not divide, split or compartmentalise any part of the Nothing.


Seventh, how does then any motion of infinite speed take pace within Nothing? Clearly, Nothing is not a body of energy or matter or volume of space: it is something like awareness and dissemination of knowledge, information and thought and therefore can be in continuous motion. Infinite speed ensures complete awareness of whatever is happening all over Nothing. Any two points through which the imaginary lines passes are therefore instantaneously interchangeable.  It is because of these characteristics of Nothing that the CosmicMyth @200BC coined the term Consciousness.


But all these answers are broad ones. Before we get deep into the concept of Nothing, we need to explore many other parts of the emergig Cosmic Myth of the future. This is what we do in the next several posts.

10. Imagining the Nothing: Extension of the 200BC Myth

Imagination is imagination. We can be logical and consistent in imagination but that may not be entire scientific because no scientific methods may be available to test imagination of Nothing.
By definition Nothing cannot be described given the accepted specifications that Nothing must satisfy. We can only have an imaginary, probably alternative hazy ideas. We try imagining one now and here as a start.

Let us consider any two points in the Universe and pass an imaginary line through them and extend the line beyond the two points on either side for infinitely strong stretches. This line need not a straight line: it can be curved in any manner through random choice or on any ad hoc basis (though for simplicity and without loss of generality, one can think in terms of straight lines).
Now let us imagine passing such lines through all possible pairs of points in the universe. The entire Universe will now be covered by infinite number of such lines. You may call these lines or strings. And, Nothing is nothing but the entangled mess of imaginary lines or strings of infinite length.


One can easily see that this Imaginary Nothing satisfies already FIVE out of the eight desirable criteria.
One, Nothing is perpetually ceaseless, permanent, indestructible and inexhaustible even after the Universe comes out of Nothing.
Two, Nothing is uncharged, unchanging, unaffected and unperturbed by the Universe.
Three, Nothing must never have been born or dead.
Four,  Nothing is incomprehensible, unexplainable, inexpressible, unalterable and original.
Five, Nothing is as infinite as a Source capable of explaining the infinite nature of the Universe.
Sixth, Nothing is formless in the sense of the Universe, i.e, it does not have any physical form that matter, energy or space or time can take.
The above SIX criteria are satisfied by simple construction of imaginary lines.

To see whether the other two criteria are met, we need to imagine some thing more about these imaginary lines.

Before we do this, we need to refer to the elementary particles called Neutrinos. Neutrinos are virtually mass less no-electrical charge particles that can and do pass through any type of bigger particles without being affected themselves and without affecting those through which they pass through( see http://universeofignorance.blogspot.com/2011/01/7-eluding-elementary-particles.html). It is now known that beams of neutrinos pass through our physical bodies all the time.

Let us now imagine that our imaginary lines or strings pass through all space, all matter and all energy all the time: by construction these imaginary lines remain unaffected by the mass , energy and space in the Universe all the time. Thus. by construction, our Nothing is all pervading: it always exists in each and every thing, biggest of physical bodies or smallest of particles, space  and energy in the Universe.

The question is how did this Nothing lead to the emergence of  energy, matter, space and time. If we can get energy from this Nothing, energy in turn will produce all other elements as per the Big Bang theory.
But how do we get Energy from Nothing? For this, we need to expand our imagination of lines passing through every thing just little. We imagine these imaginary lines to be in continual motion at infinite speed. By this extension of imagination, we ensure that the Nothing remains unaltered all the time: since the lines move in infinite speed, it remains all the time static-unchanged and unaltered. Most important, this infinite speed continual motion generates energy: here E=mc^2 doe not apply. There is no mass as yet, but speed is infinitely higher than the speed of light.

We have now generated energy from Nothing (the continually moving imaginary lines at  infinite speed).  This energy is initially stuck with the lines in an uniform manner buts gets clustered in some stochastic (probabilistic) way in around some point in one of the imaginary lines. Over  a periuod of trillions of human years the concentration of this energy is so dense at certain point(s) that we get that infinitely dense energy concentrate with which the Big Bang started.

We now have the entire Universe produced from Nothing. The Nothing now satisfies the other two criteria.  Nothing is apparently powerful enough to contain at least energy, matter, time and space in implicit form in itself.
And, Nothing is now capable of making its impact felt in any part or the whole of the Nothing must make its presence felt in each and everything in the Universe: Nothing must be felt to be present everywhere and in everything.

To get back to the Cosmic Myth @ 200 BC, the Universe had Nothing at some point of time. This Nothing existed ceaselessly all the Time and permanently. Because of its internal infinite speed motion, Nothing generates energy. That energy gets concentrated at an infinitesimal part of one of the imaginary lines to create the infinitely dense energy concentrate (Hiranyagarbha) that, owing to the continued impact of the spin generated by the infinite speed motion of the imaginary lines of Nothing, starts a process of inflation reducing energy density, creating space, elementary particles and so on. The Big Bang inflationary expansion takes place in the domain of the Nothing only. Thus, that Nothing still remains permanently and ceaselessly unaltered, unaffected and  Infinite containing the entire universe - space, energy, matter and time and remaining within each and everything in the universe in an indivisible formless existence.
