Ostensive Objects of Multiverse Philosophy and Forces Delimiting Extra Dimensions

In reading analytic philosophy one may encounter Saul Kripke’s ‘Naming and Necessity’ published in 1973. It elucidates a linguistic, descriptive paradigm of the nature of the relation of words to objects, and of words to words. It is possible to describe objective appearances with words, yet problematic to describe the uncertain with certain name designators. Creating accurate physical concepts of cosmology concepts a priori for empirical testing inspired with scientific observations also implicitly relationships between words, objects, events and processes of the Universe with liberal uncertainty. Where and what the Universe is, how it came to be, what its destiny is and so forth are perennial philosophical questions. Contemporary astrophysics, theoretical physics and cosmology continue to increase the knowledge data base of humanity.

The observable universe may be somewhat less than 14 billion light years in opposing directions from the Earth for a visible horizon of about 27 billion light years. The Universe’s apparent uni-time directional expansion may have begun from a broad membrane base such as Turok suggested and the actual size of the contiguous Universe could be vastly large. The evident Universe did expand into a volume of possibly infinite area, it isn’t presently known, and even theoretical physics seems limited to researching the mass-energy phenomena, and perhaps space atoms and time matrices too if loop quantum gravity theorists are correct on that, yet humans intuitively know that the entire Universe and even multiverse, exists in a Metaverse of unknowable scale, meaning or purpose; that God may have composed all possible things as a venture of meaning constructed like a pointillist painting or aesthetic good in-itself.

One cannot just take the shape of space-time dimensions for granted as given things existing in given shapes. We believe the three dimensions of space are basically unbiased regarding shape and are therefore flat forming a manifold in which matter and energy (and possibly space atoms) might be concentrated generating an appearance of space-time curvature, or coinciding with the appearance. There might be force existing to provide or reinforce spatial dimensions differing from those commonly regarded as forces of the universe.

If there are special forces generating mass and energy in complex ten-dimensional Calibi-Yau space configurations with several small dimensions of less than a Planck length in size we have no reason to believe that the Calibi-Yau geometry exclusively describes the only sort of geometry that could describe compressed matter-energy force dimensional configurations underlying the four space-time dimensions of the commonly experienced Universe; there might be an unlimited- not infinite but a very large number, of potential geometric configurations shaping dimensions, mass or energy underlying the common four dimensions of space-time.

The mathematical constructions of models of the Universe cohering with observable macro-physical quantum facts of observation, experiment and logic are an interesting way to develop cosmological theories; a recent observation of what might be a particle (at Fermilab) associated with Technicolor theory revalidates the premise that the known borders of the Universe continue to recede as further experiment, observation and theory examine the frontiers.

Ostensive descriptions of clumps of physical phenomena may generate names of hypothetical structures of explanations of micro-mechanics. Finding evidence of the structure and expanse of a pre-Universe or post-universe time may always be just inferential and circumstantial extrapolation of preferred mathematical models. Theory in cosmology increases along with new ideas about even basic ideas such as space and dimensions actual are. In loop quantum gravity theory space has been given a discrete, objective texture for-itself with space-atoms in some measure comparable to a particle quantum theory. If space is such an existing thing, it may be that an entirely new field of quantum space mechanics might develop to investigate its fine composition.

As it is, there is enough stuff for the philosophically inclined to contemplate regarding basic macro-quantum relationships between space-time expansion, mass-energy convertibility, motion and virtual particles with relativistic space-time fields and how any extra-dimensions or geometric forms of wrapping down mass-energy could be forced into the state of being within a temporal continuum. One can wonder how relativity affects discrete members of space-time fields. Does general relativity apply only at the macro-cosmic level of solid state physics with the quantum world of possible micro-dimensions never even dragged along into the expansion of the four standard space-time dimensions?

Such a paradigm as the last could support the concept of an idealist Universe existing in the mind of The One-yet of course, one might need to wait a long time for the math to be worked out to confirm that. A better bet might be to read the Bible and accept Jesus Christ as one’s personal Savior. Even so, one can work on the contemplation of cosmological values of a temporal nature if one is so inclined. The unexamined life to paraphrase Socrates is uninteresting.

The ability to form various cosmological paradigms regarding fundamental shape and monadology has presented basic Universe ideas since Parmenides at least. None of these potential metaphysical shapes and quantity has much bearing upon the Biblical theological question of creation. God could well have created more than one universe at a time I suppose, or infinity of Universes of every possible expression if He willed it so. The will of God could well surpass simple Universe promulgating tasks so far as I know, or He may devote His time in eternity toward tweaks of improvement of His Universes for reasons I cannot imagine.

In contemporary and even perennial model construction there are recurrent Universes, multiple branching Universes, Universes that arise out of nothing, and Universes that condense from virtual particles in a dimensionless plenum (a clever way of super-positioning infinite space in a singularity). As created beings of a contingent nature we have limits to our ability to comprehend God. Understanding as we have is given with God’s grace.

Tahrir al-Wasilah by the Ayatollah Khomeini & Misc. Moslem Revo-Evolutions

With the changes across the Arab world, or rather the Islamic world, the meaning of 'Tahrir' or 'liberation' in Arabic draws our interest. Of course we find the Ayatollah Khomeini's book 'On Sex with Children and Animals' right off. The Ayatollah issued his Moslem clarification of the right jurisprudence within Islamic law. We find that if a man has sex with his donkey, he must sell the donkey in a village that his not his own. For Iranians this sort of expert clerical opinion may be invaluable.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tahrir_al-Wasilah

Finding that the Ayatollah's book has many different names, one of which is named Tahrir-al-Wasilah was just the tip of the iceberg of the wide use of the word 'liberation' or Tahrir throughout the Arab world.

It is possible that U.S. foreign policy should not become one of chasing about after incipient Moslem youth revolutions inspired by twitter and cell phone use. To radicalize global politics simply because technology allows unlimited social organizations rather quickly if not instantly may have unreasoned, even dire consequences in the future.

Yes we can empathize with bad governments and social oppression abroad and in the United States, Mexico and wherever. How can we accept 40,000 dead Mexicans killed in drug wars south of the border as a normal or acceptable sort of thing? Why should we suppose that accepting political turmoil and chaos as progressive paradigms will eventuate the confluence of peace and prosperity when we are aware that stable social evolutions allow better transitions toward a real world ecologically rational political economy?
Better objective systems for removing undemocratic political leadership should be innovated and brought into effect instead of encouraging or appearing to encourage proverbial political change a mile wide and an inch deep. There are numerous social challenges in existence today that will not be solved even with the victory of a happy political change. Human economic use of the global ecosphere is devastating, and the fundamental principles of capitalism are centuries old and in need of evolution in-themselves.

British Atomic Powered Submarine 'Astute' Runs Aground (Oct. 2010)

Reading of a British nuclear powered submarine running aground in shallow water of Scotland-possibly while sending a crewman on a beer run, I empathized having run my 26 foot sailboat into shallow water of Chesapeake Bay across from the naval academy where it became stuck in the mud of shallow water. Overnight waves pushed the boat onto a rocky berm sinking it.

The Captain of the H.M.S. Astute was relieved from command. However his boat was towed away sucessfully it seems. When my recently purchased old sailboat was lost, after properly disposing of it I returned to Montana and Alaska for hernia surgery with the hope of repainting homes on the Atlantic coast with a woman from the islands as relief crew sunk into history.

There is video of the Astute at the msnbc story about an enlisted man who shot and killed an officer at close range aboard a differnet British nuclear powered submarine recently.

Fermilab Scientists Observe Possible New Particle/Force

The particle may have a mass of 145 GeV. That's in the neighborhood of a technipion's hypothetical mass of 160 GeV. Alternatively the observation could be a statistical error.

http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn20357-mystery-signal-at-fermilab-hints-at-technicolour-force.html?DCMP=OTC-rss&nsref=online-news


New particles never before observed should have been found in Europe at Cern-a more powerful particle accellerator, yet scientists of the early 20th century were pioneers of quantum theory so its appropriate that the foundation of a new class of particles might occur in Illinois and the accellerator facility named for Enrico Fermi.

In reading over a comment by Peter Woit on the history of technicolor development (see following link) Technicolor , I believe, is mentioned as potentially another sort of strong force. Stephen Weinberg and Leonard Suskind originated the theory that would become technicolor as a symmetry breaking derivative from Quantum Chromo Dynamics in 1978 (independently).

Kinetic and Non-Kinetic War

The Obama administration rightly described the Libyan intervention as a kinetic military action. The art of kinetic war has been with us for millennia. Slingers of spears in Rome and North America followed up spears that were developed as early as 195,000 b.c. in the Kenyan rift valley. Eventually electro-magnetic rail guns for S.D.I. inspired electro-magnetic guns for naval vessels as well as pistols and rifles. Maybe they will bring a puff the magic drive return of gunships with e.m.g. drives pushing out metal toward specific ground targets.

Kinetic weapons are something of an improvement over explosive weapons. All things considered, unlike the continuing use of explosive propellants for space-flight launches, the e.m.g. kinetic rail gun technology has not yet been put to work for very heavy lifts to space.

In modern conflicts asymmetric wars are common. The rich may try to kick the ass of the poor, or the innocent poor may have no choice besides trying to kick the ass of the rich when the rich decide to colonize them with extreme prejudice. The myriad matrix logical possibilities of asymmetric conflict may be challenging to chart yet sometimes the rich may even attempt to buy the poor into submission. Kinetic weapons of bullets may be used rather than financial instruments of economic damage or quantum propaganda field suppression as on the non-kinetic side of the force.

Kinetic weapons of war may be less costly than explosive weapons good just once. Non-kinetic weapons that are purely electronic, particle beams and such may be even less costly and easier to reload; they require more electricity to recharge batteries, more hydrogen to recharge a fuel cell and so forth. Non-kinetic weapons are a new wave of the future for modern military that deliver speed of light devastation to targets at specified grid coordinates.

The U.S. military is developing airborne and drone aircraft microwave beam technology capable of knocking out opposition force air defense installations and one might guess valuable point targets. In the modern evolution of computer and electronic technology the corporate civilian/military application of knowledge flows in each direction and cycles again.

Obviously weapons systems that require recharging instead of production of million dollar each cruise missiles (a hybrid kinetic-explosive technology) are a better buy in the era of U.S. federal deficits. One must hope that one’s new weapons system is not the equivalent of a Commodore 64 to an enemy with higher technical sophistication.

It’s a paradox that with global population destroying the ecosphere, with a porous Mexican border defense not capable of arresting the flow of illegal aliens into the U.S.A. humanity becomes so excellent at creating weapons of war. With a small world today it is a little bit like the people at the other end of the building developing weapons to kill those at another end and vice versa ad nauseum…there must be a better way of freeing humans from oppression and danger.

Non-kinetic war will combine the full spectrum of electronic surveillance, intelligence and counter-intelligence of course. Ever bit of data on the Internet, every meter of the world observed by remote monitoring systems feeding data into live artificial intelligence analysis loops will support command decisions to pull the electronic plug on civilian or military targets, send power beam surges to terminate resistance or possibly shut off the electric circuits in human brains temporarily or permanently.

Ongoing international alliances in the non-kinetic phase of defense and global corporatism bring tighter networking of the non-kinetic way of war through perpetual upgrades. The umbrella of non-kinetic war demographics brings more nations into the complex canopy of advanced research and development of war contemporary Military technology. If the Congress were half as concerned about fully employing U.S. citizens and restoring the ecosphere locally the American way of life would be much better. As it is the military industrial complex is more concerned about concentrating wealth in construction of a new world order with the U.S. poor and lack of full employment or compensation through minimum income being the collateral economic damage.

On the ‘Necessity’ of Throwing U.S. Budget Gutter Balls

As a candidate Barack Obama famously bowled a gutter ball filled score of 37. He bowled a score of zero as President failing to veto the Bush era tax cuts renewal last December. He set a new standard for Democratic mediocrity that F.D. Roosevelt and maybe even Bill Clinton would have regarded as unacceptable. Mediocrity in budgeting is no new thing for America today.

Are names not something of inflexible descriptions of unique events or unique sets of attributes of events-even the name ‘America’? What is America? Is it a particular historical concept, a geographical locality, or some sort of variable political identifier denoting sovereignty and a host of other qualities? A name may be a meaning rather than an address. What is meant by ‘America’ may change in time to anything at all, from good to bad.

We might prefer to regard Latinos as a hybrid race better named for Amerigo Vespucci than a minor Roman district named Latia, yet Americans too are what we called citizens of the United States of America because of the awkwardness of calling them Unionists.

American unions have certainly been in decline along with the real income of white men in the U.S.A. since 1971. The U.S. broadcast media has become a servo-unit of global corporatism along with both major political parties of the nation since the end of the cold war. The U.S.A. has a progressive national public debt set to reach 20 trillion dollars by the end of a second possible Obama administration. Public education standards are in comparative decline along with the U.S. standard of living in comparison to the gross national product increases of the second world. One may wonder why, and also wonder if a necessary mediocrity has overtaken the U.S.A. and destined it to a mediocre future not as a leading nation but as an also ran amongst nations trying to lead.

What made the United States a great economic power many have asked? A heritage of a vast under populated continent full of natural resources and an immigrant people of Europe able to exploit the best scientific and technical ideas of Europe and world history in a rich natural frontier with the absence of an hereditary ruling class. The absence of any kind of oppressive social organizations and the low national population density permitted uninhibited intellectual freedom to invent, apply, innovate and adapt ideas to real production. Freedom fro government or private organizations of a ubiquitous or oppressive presence and intellectual and physical room for growth let the brilliance of man and women create such works as they were able to conceive. The intellectual and physical liberty was the necessary condition for economic excellence.

With the nation full with more than 300 million people and immigrants of an illegal rather than a legal nature predominantly, and with the number of inventors comparatively in decline along with the U.S.A. as a destination far removed from oppressive social organizations the United States seems to be moving into a protracted era of mediocrity even though commercial space ventures are increasing.

Wall Street is about global investment and owners more so than national. The prosperous find the silly little borders nothing in technical considerations beyond those of taxation. Telecommunications have eliminated planetary distance and the nation itself is regarded as just one place amidst a world of locations in which corporate and government partners might invest. If nearly 20% of Americans can’t find enough work to sustain a fair living, well, that’s helpful for controlling labor costs.

The United States has become saturated in social networking simultaneously with pervasive business networking. Data acquisition and processing records volumes on the life of every individual American, and ‘liberal’ race, gender and sexual perversion classes have transitioned to leadership of political power as the counterfactual interpretation of corporate led economics. Americans seem determined to make the nation just one mediocre, average society amidst a new world order of Wal-Marts, asphalt streets, cell phones and financial related services. The idea of reconstructing the United States economically into a new low entropy, full employment, self-reliant leading example to the rest of the world of a free society with a stable population reasonably able to venture into space development while restoring the health of the ecosphere is a political goal of virtually no one. Excellence for the United States as a nation seems to fail to reach the public video attention. The nation must descend into protracted mediocrity to expand into a global economy before fading away.

Adam Smith; the brilliant 18the century economist, described a method whereby individual entrepreneurs were better benefiting themselves and society without the oppression of a powerful social organization. In his day that organization was the state. In today’s business environment and pervasive, even totalitalized geographic saturation oppressive organizations are not limited to government, but exist in the concatenated Wall Street extended corporate network as well. Individual Americans experience the corporate/market political way ubiquitous from ATM machines to rft strips between sheets of book binding.

Americans develop class consciousness as youth, elderly, white, black, straight, homosexual, Christian, pagan, middle class, Democrat, republican, Latino far more so than as individuals. Existential and borderless principles of class leveling mediocrity over individual efforts and excellence prevail in the marketplace, consumerism, in ‘reality’ T.V. and budget negotiations in Congress. An economic philosophy of market personal egoism in mass portionality transcended real geographic and/or intellectual individualism.

For the ascent of class consumer values and for its justification the inertia of global mass consumerism and corporate ‘market’ economics has developed velocity. The coefficient of mass consumerism and the logic of hedonistic mediocrity are challenging to overcome with interpolations of individual pursuit of excellence. Perhaps the logic of brilliant individual minds pursuing the good for the nation can emerge like a light in the darkness now and then, yet the occasional illumination may not be enough for the people of the United States to emerge from the night of the underworld that may lie ahead.

About Philosophical Quests for 'Ultimate' Reality

Ultimate as a modifier on the term 'reality' may be a special use within a linguistic ontology, even so there are several potential meanings of the term.

I won't try to list many of the potential meanings of ultimate or reality here, such as a reality that is eternal and unchanging, or a reality that occurs at the conclusion of the Universe of space-time, a reality at the singularity of black holes where time has stopped and space extends forever. Reality as a perceptible object of human experience and cogitation may be regarded as ultimate if one has wrapped one's mind around all of its dimensions perhaps, yet for Christians such as myself who find the ultimate reality to be a finding of fact and conclusion of purpose of God regarding contingent or temporal reality, ultimate reality is unavoidable and the supreme good.

In reading over a book on loop quantum gravity recently, the sectarian camp of astrophysical irredentist non-string theorist philosophers of the physical universe point of view emerged once again. I believe it is useful to consider points of view of ultimate physical theory such as Hartle-Hawking, Wheelerianism and Venenziano right along with epistemological approaches such as Sartre's that may for-itself be given to support even esoteric science based or even religious viewpoints such as the universe as a hologram or Berkley's ideaism. Even a universe as string phenomenality created by Intelligent design of a super-computational people, or a metaverse set of immediate appearance founded on some sort of monadology by God can be useful if not necessary ideas to consider along the road to understanding how the experience of life is supported by the given.

There may be two approaches to ultimate reality expeditions; one with a possibility of intelligent design of the experience of human beings on Earth in the Universe, and of course the alternate that the universe had no element of a designer in it. Each approach may pursue simultaneous, concurrent objectives areas of inquiry not uncommonly.

Can the elements of a set of self-aware beings infer the content of the metaset in which they are included? Perhaps not. The answers to questions of set structure and content provided by extrapolation from observable or experienced phenomena may be useful even so. Sometimes it is not a good idea to prejudge the values of solutions for an unknown or difficult to solve equation or challenge to understanding.

Space-Time Glazed Donut Singularities ©2011GaryCGibson (poem)

Horizons of time irreversibly sent
gathered amidst stardust
in nights pre-light tents
with dark worlds dimly shone
local futures move away
to black holes ever unknown
where time stops in a minute
stretched in conformal logic
for the persistence of memory
without doubts

Curved horizons of planets, black holes, moons
formed as condensed physics drift
toward edges too soon eclipsed
economic minimalist’s structured thrift

As space emerges from nowhere
pushing worlds farther away
galaxies sent toward shadows
with mass in gravity left collecting day

Somewhere in space mass land waveform sparks
particles virtually present depleting empty space start
elsewhen stops

Balance in singularities beyond covers
send bound particles leaking for no gain
directions reach probability within
without being is the equal pain
topologies to support experience

Space-time curling tighter
gravity shaping place
until time reaches end
all motion locally frozen
in space donut dimensions glaze

Donut singularities across the Universe
sequester mass as atoms of space transcend the limit of locality
waveform super-positions reduced to one push the expansion space-time outside faster than before

Gravity leaves the time memory of mass converted to space under the covers fading away
when nothing more is formed
for night follows day

The mechanics of spirit
do not disappear in mass-energy convergence to nothingness.

Pre-Natural Selection of the Elect ©2011GaryCGibson (poem)

Particle-anti-particle pairs of gravitons
at the event horizon separate under the influence of gravity
the absurdity of space-time splitting gravitons for themselves
instead of drawing in space-time to a naked singularity berift of an event horizon

Under cover of sinking singularities eventually drawing horizons
inward toward harmonic convergence
worse than a sharp chicken bone stuck in the throat
infinitely curved space absurd like the hyperspherical surface well-rounded
-what is the state of infinite curvature of a hyped-up sphere
perpetuates the continua as it flows

Where in the space-time do virtual gravitons emerge race
enshrouded in the shaped field
recursive bootstrapped powers
warping and powering for-themselves
paradoxes of necessary chaos place
ranges of freedom of order without order
the information writ large
like the desperate twit before entropic drift to wondrous space-time structures of existential quantum menace thunderous helium’s red giant phase
phonon waveforms travel through metaphysical clouds

Universes beget universes
through a design of Spirit and substance set with subsets
unable to infer content of the metaset
replicating order of reproducing
continua generating galaxies; planetary islands for souls in creation
from which a few might be saved

Through countless Universes some vast number might be brought unto salvation
Divine selection wherefrom The One
may elect to populate heaven
for the chosen will contemplate
and praise divine Holiness
eternal God in His glory.
