Nothing is Random Anymore

In a previous article I introduced this idea that nothing is random, everything happens for a reason. When you look at an atom and that neutron comes flying out, is that random?

Random Number Generators

In a computer manufactured in the 80’s if you wanted a random number you’d use a pseudo-random code that is based on time. The computer had a timer but not much else to seed the algorithm with.

Eventually someone added a radio to the computer. At first it was a dedicated device called a random number generator, but if I were to guess these days you can just use your wifi adapter to get at random stuff we call entropy. Supposedly this is random, right? You couldn’t possibly run the numbers.

Nuclear Bombs Tell Us…

When you put all the uranium atoms together that’s when you take something so big, immeasurably big, and make it comprehensible. The relationship between matter and space is so interesting.

When you put them all together you’ve created a nuclear bomb. By doing this you’ve demonstrated that the particles flying out of the atom aren’t random. They’re totally controllable. You now have the ability to predict when all the transmutations events occur.

Are stray neutrinos random? I don’t think so. I can’t tell you the underlying function but I know they’re not random. Nothing is random. Nothing.

Zero, Human Incomprehensibility and Perception

Have you ever thought about what life is like in an instant? That’s something that happens in different dimensions, different abstractions, it’s not necessarily something that represents a real, physical process. Since particles have mass they occupy space, and when you look closer and closer at that space you will never see the point you’re looking for, because it doesn’t exist in the sense you’re thinking about it in.

The best analogy I have (and I think it’s a pretty good one, personally) is a photograph of an object moving at high speed. It’s blurry and you know that’s not really what the scene looks like. Your mind is filling in all the details to facilitate your atomic thinking. When you annihilate this idea of an atom it all becomes senseless to us, which is counter-productive. That doesn’t mean we can’t come to an understanding of what it really is we’re looking at, however.

What was it that gave Einstein this big revelation and what’s stopping any of us from having our own? I’ll tell you that Einstein was a telegraph operator, which was a very interesting job for it’s day. Einstein may have been the first person on earth to recognize that there is a limit to the speed-of-light. Everyone sees light as something instantaneous that happens but Einstein could feel the delay on the other end. “That guy should be responding quicker, why is there this delay each time I finish a transmission?”

I’ve often heard Einstein’s other thought experiments, but I don’t think anything works better than the telegraph itself. Einstein was a telegraph operator. Think about that. Einstein didn’t think there was anything special about himself but the doctor at the hospital he died in seemed to think he had a magic brain, because he removed it for scientific research, eventually losing his career over it. A very human reaction. Personally I don’t like the train analogy.

The Relation to Gravity

What does this have to do with gravity? I don’t know, but I feel like it does. I want to explore this further and see where it leads. Has anybody already discovered this? Einstein chose words to represent the concepts he was inventing, like Relativity and an Einstein Cross, more evidence that nothing is random, not even neutrinos.

So if you have an atom thing that just represents some sort of statistical constant then the goal is to discover what is a constant and what is not. In our case this rules out quantum teleportation as an idea that will someday lead to human teleportation. The odds of teleportation are exactly what they seem, infinitesimally big. There aren’t alternate dimensions, there’s only one and it’s all figured out already, sad to say. It all leads us to the same place no matter what you think you’re doing to change that, but again I’m just trying to relate with people through words and shit like that, because I want people to invent more badass spaceships.

Hey what if we made a Death Star, but instead of a death beam it’s a life beam?

The Life Star.
