Origins Part 2: Space

When say space, I am not talking about the final frontier. If you've ever had a math class in your life, then you know that space is made up of dimensions. Height, Length, and width are the three dimensions we are aware of within the further dimension of time.

Seeing as space cannot exist without time, and time has not always been around, it is only logical to assume that space has not always existed. Space can only exist when time exists. So the question is: where did space come from?

As mentioned in the previous post, one popular idea is that a massive explosion known as the "Big Bang" began the universe, and that includes space. However, this fairy-tale quickly is stricken with several fatal wounds when thought is involved. The "Big Bang" would have been composed of an orb of matter. Matter can only exist within space, within time. Already, we can see why this theory should have been eaten before people took it seriously. Matter, space, and time cannot exist in a pre-matter, pre-space, pre-time, period of non-events.

So where did space come from? Let's take a journey down logic lane and observe a more simple universe than our own. In the video game Halo, space is essential for Master Chief to exist within and move around in. Programmers created several grids at right angles to each other, providing an open representation of space. These gridlines required lots of math and programming that the majority of people don't understand. The programmers were not inside the Halo video game, but rather inside our world, which is on a higher plane of existance. Considering this, it is logical to deduce that a programmer in a higher reality than our own mathematically calculated what we percieve as space into a heightened-reality computer of some sort.

This begs the question, where did the programmer's space come from? In answer, as dimensions move up, things make more sense. For example, a one dimensional person would not really be able to exist without two other dimensions. A two dimensional person would not really be able to exist without having some sort of height to them. A three dimensional person, to all observations, can exist. Most people agree that there is a limited number of dimensions, and that the "top dimension" is the only one to make sense. All realities come from that one dimension.

How big is the universe?

In essence, this question is asking how much space is in space. The answer: all of it. It is difficult for humans, who exist within space, to understand what lies beyond the boarder of the universe, where no space exists. It seems impossible in everyway for there to be anything "outside" of space. For this reason the idea that space has an "edge" is often discounted.

Another popular idea is that space goes on forever. Once again, though we have to wonder how that could be possible. As we look around in nature, it seems that nothing is really boundless. The oceans are not boundless. The sky is not boundless. It doesn't seem to make any sense that the universe would extend forever.

There is a third idea, however, which makes a lot more sense. Einstein theorized that, like the earth, space itself was curved (or warped for all you sci-fi nerds out there). He claimed that if you continued going straight through space, you would eventually return to your point of origin. This idea, while it resembles a level from an old Mario video game, does seem to make more sense than the other two ideas. Unfortunately, this theory will be difficult to test, for obvious reasons. For this reason, I cannot say "For Sure" this theory is correct, but it is the one I currently accept.

Origins Part 1: Existence?

When talking about origins, people often make silly assumptions. They assume that things "just are" when in fact there is usually a more involved explanation.

For example: time. If you didn't know that time is a dimension, then I'm sorry to tell you that you've been missing out on...everything. Time was proven to be a dimension when NASA watched a clock in space go at a different speed than one on the earth's surface. Einstein's theory of relativity states:

E=MC^2

This means that mass (and thus gravity) and the speed of light affect the dimension of time. If you still have doubts about time being a dimension, take it up with Einstein.

Okay, what has been observed in our natural realm is that you can't have a where without a when. Time had to start sometime so that the universe could exist. If the universe were infinitely old, then we would have never reached this point in time. Don't believe me? Go ahead and count to infinity.

A popular fairy tale is that something called the Big Bang started time. Unfortunately for Mother Goose, the Big Bang theory includes a bang, implying that there was something there to blow up. Something is usually known by the name of mass, and always exists in a place and time. But wait a minute, didn't they just say that the Big Bang began time? I don't know how they ever got us to believe in this story.

If you are like I once was, and used to think the Big Bang had ANY scientific evidence at all, I'm here to tell you that there is hope. Realizing that from the very beginning, you have been lied to by an evil Mother Goose will start you on the path of intelligence.

Now, if time didn't come from a bang, where did it come from?

Sometimes, when facing questions about our own universe, a quick look at a simpler universe can be very helpful. For now, we will look at the video game Halo. Halo has a time dimension in it. This is what allows everyone's favorite Spartan to run around, jump, and shoot stuff. So where did the time come from in this simple universe? It was programmed into the computer by the developers. Lots of effort was put into creating the time equations for Halo. If we apply this to our universe, we can assume that a "programmer" installed time into existence.

If you suddenly don't feel like reading my blogs anymore, I encourage you to fight your own ignorance and keep reading. Stopping a discussion or reading because you feel uncomfortable does not take the logic behind it away.

In conclusion, today we learned that time is a dimension, that it couldn't have come from an event within time, and that someone highly intelligent probably installed it into the foundation of our universe. Tune in next post for a lesson on Space!

Getting Things Started

Okay, the world is quickly falling apart and nobody seems to know how to fix it. It has come to my attention that the reason for most of these problems is a basic deception about the organization of the universe.

What we do is affected by who we are. Who we are is affected by what we are. And what we are is decided from where we came from. Therefore, it is imperative that I attempt to educate this world about its origins, which it seems to have forgotten.

The answers I give may be suprising to you. They are not what you have been taught in school. Now, of course you may be cautious about accepting these truths right away. Some of you readers might even react angrily against them. Before you spam my blog with angry complaints and predictable unfounded counters, however, I would like you to ask yourself "why am I angry about this?"

Thank you for reading this introduction. Now lets get things started!
