Membranes, Time and Presentness

 I wanted to write a brief post discussing the nature of time. I added a comment on the subject in a video of mine that didn’t process correctly hence this post. Perhaps the concept explained here is a derivative of Tegmark’s writing about a level four Multiverse from ‘The Mathematical Universe’- I don’t recall since it was several years ago when I read it.

People wonder about time and the reality of time with such questions as is time a subjective and non-objective phenomenon. I believe time is real and objective though it is also relative of course to where one is in the Universe. That is because time is basically motion through mass by sentient beings, or at least the experience of changes in mass structure.

Mass is an entangled state of energy; of quanta of energy that are in turn emanations or extrusions of fundamental fields. Humans are made of mass and of energy at a more primary level and the Universe is something of an assembly of energy fields with somewhat ordinal consistency regarding mass. The paradox of missing dark mass is somewhat humorous in a way because everything is energy and mass. Even a field fluctuation could perhaps create the appearance of missing non-observable mass to some observers within a given structure of interacting fields.

The Higgs field is the culprit slowing massless particles (that have not time element to them besides) and letting them entangle as field ‘particles’. Because that field is a semi-steady state of mass entangled and has characteristics of motion where it interacts with other field elements and is observed by sentient beings ‘time’ is said to occur. Time though passes locally at its own pace as some things are ‘thicker’ than others and areas that are most thick, or that have the most concentrated mass may have the most ‘time’ in comparison to massless particles that have none at all.

There are numerous interesting characteristics about time and its relativity characteristics concerning speed of mass passing through the Universe, through black holes and so on, yet I wanted to write about a different aspect of looking at time; one of membrane dimensions.

It is possible that the Universe is made of two dimensional membranes that are static-comparable to slides for a slide projector. Except the membranes are able to pass through other membranes. So if one sends three or four membranes in motion through a void and they intersect the phenomenal point where four membranes intersect is what sentient beings experience as the present.

Each membrane may have forms upon them that change when they intersect and interact with other membranes. One might design a membrane in combination with other membranes so they assemble various patterns or evolutions combining together where they are present. Maybe the membranes are rewritten that way, so the past is actually static and existent only as a fraction-perhaps a quarter, of what actually occurred, or it could be written completely or not at all.

In such a paradigm the future is predestined, yet the predestination is a function of the vectors or tensors of the courses of the membranes and so variable in a sense, or contingent upon nothing acting upon the tensors of the membranes that would intersect.

Time does exist for the experience of the sentient beings alive in the present though it is like life very phenomenal. One might view the existence of membranes that intersect to form a universe-experience as a grace thing created by God. Since one has no way of knowing if such a configuration exists it wouldn’t be right to blame Him for that structure.

I wondered if a composite membrane universe would allow travel along non-intersecting portions of the membrane and answered that question for-myself. It doesn’t seem likely that the phenomenal present motion bubble universe area would allow any sort of particles to travel through non-intersecting portions of membranes. The intersecting Universe has four dimensions and the non-intersecting just two or three dimensions. Even massless particles would be non-moving in the lower dimensions of a single membrane apart from intersections where motion and time is thought to occur.
