The true reality of the universe is such that... what we perceive as a physical dimension, and what we perceive as "the passing of time" are one in the same. I think this is proof that physical reality is just an illusion.

It's like a riddle; what happens when the universe is able to cache enough data to form individual identities with experiences? Does it somehow.. give the universe itself a sort of awareness?

Or perhaps consciousness is all that has ever existed.

Whats most annoying is that each little individual object no matter how remote its existence.. has its own instance within spacetime. It's as if the universe were a massive server, and each particle has its own instance within that server.

If these particles somehow change their velocity through space, their movement through time changes as well, relative to other particles
so in this way each particle can travel about to different points of time, within its own little instance.

There is also the double slit experiment to consider. A single electron goes through both slits, interacts with itself, and makes an interference pattern. A single particle interferes with itself.


This tells me that this particle doesn't just "move" physically, but instead instead, the "server" does the calculation. It's as if the universe does a calculation based on probabilities.

If the particle interferes with itself, then it goes through both slits, so does it actually go through both slits, or does it go through neither? It's an electron, it moves at the speed of light, that means it does not experience time. Relative to itself, it basically teleports.


It leaves the light beam or w.e and lands on the back wall. This tells me that it doesn't go through both slits (at different instances of time), and then interfere with itself, and then land on the back wall at w.e angle, instead it tells me the universe (server) made the calculation. how else can it be explained?


On the other hand, if an electron leaves a light source, and passes through two slits which both have electron detection devices, the universe seems to be unable to teleport the electron to both places at the same time physically, and thus the virtual calculation (wave function) is collapsed, and it is teleported to a single slit, and then onto the back wall.

I think it may be fair to postulate that the universe is making calculations virtually in a way that transcends the physical universe. This explains how the universe might consider it fair within it's laws to allow a single electron to be able to virtually pass through both slits, and land on the back wall in the form of an interference pattern-- all in a single calculation which results in a single teleport from the light source to the back wall. So with this, we can assume that the electron itself went through neither slits, it teleported, and only it's virtual "calculations" went through, and interefered with each other.


Not only does this particle have its own instance, but it can also interfere with itself. At this point, i think most scientists say
you can't try to imagine it.. you just have to "trust the math" and id say thats because... there is no physical reaction going on, whats going on is the universe is making the calculation

Precisely. Those are compulsory reads for every teenager (add Proust and Dürrenmatt to the list too), you can't legitimately discuss existential angst if you haven't read at least a few of the basics at 16.

You can read Camus, Fannon, Kafka, Sartes and many others on existentialism and how it plays out in reality and what that reality looks like. I personally find it so fascinating

You have no idea the amount of people that have tried to explain the double slit experiment to her.

The double slit experiment hardly had any metaphysical implications, the problem you are having with the electron is that you keep on defining it as a particle. 

The exact opposite of what the double slit proved; the duality of the of electrons. When passing through the slit they acted as a wave. They are not physically at two places at the same time, they are physically a single wave occupying a area with varying intensity rather than a point charge.

"...physical reality is just an illusion."

I agree.  I hope we are right. crosses fingers

And you know what - even though i've read thru all that shit, i can't recall any of it anymore - but for sure they contributed a good deal to my current wiring.  Used to wonder what happens to books you read after they fall into oblivion, but i think their essence will fester in your mental makeup for good.  

 

A tad off-topic, but i think GG Marquez, JL Borges and Alejo Carpentier would be right up your sleeve, Pray?

Fannon is an existentialist though. So if you take what he says on race and psychopathologies and apply it to the existentialist concept and the realit of one then you'd understand why he is on the list. 

You won't however be reading Fannon in highschool. Not even in college unless race and such interests you. In my opinion he was quite an amazing thinker. At least he wasn't like Kant who didn't live any of the shit he wrote about. DeCartes is pretty fasinating when you pick apart his work and read Decartes Error by some neurologist (Can't recall his name)

Yeah you and I are getting married and having babies. I freaking love Black Face White Mask. It literally opened a whole new world for me especially as a woman of color it was so intense. Wretched of the Earth is so profound too. He wrote it right before he died so it's a bit scattered but nonetheless amazing

That is really I petty, more people should really read his works. I found it eye opening on many levels regarding racism. Sadly I'm not too familiar with all of his works in fact only 'Black Skin, White Masks', which does nonetheless give a very thorough and encompassing view of racial physiology.
