And yes, I know I spelled Brane incorrectly. All part of the fun of this post! :D
Isn't it darned interesting how one of the big "fights" in physics now seems to be an offshoot of the appearance & evolution of String & Brane theories, which came as an attempt to rectify and unite the disparate issues between Standard Theory and Quantum Mechanics? It seems that we have this fairly large inventory of competing, and somewhat contradictory while also being somewhat complimentary, theories! A cacaphony of theories, if you will, all trying to explain Everything.
And what seems to be the big discussion du jour? How many physical dimensions are there, really? The arguments seem to focus on either 10 or 11 dimensions. Isn't that true? And it seems there are good arguments for both numbers.
I find it terribly amusing that the sciences seem to have converged to, and are arguing the details about a model which has been well-known and well-used by "mystics" for thousands of years, if not more. I refer, of course, to the Qabalistic Tree Of Life, which shows that the geometry of the universe is centered on 10 discrete nodes, or what we call sephira. And how when these 10 nodes all interoperate together, as a single system, they create an "11th reality" that is the emergent property of the interaction of these 10 "dimensions" (sephira).
The teachings of Qabalah have told us for quite awhile how the 10-dimensional physical Tree Of Life which is represented by our physical body within its physical environment, is responsible for the emergence of the higher being...the non-physical self. Furthermore this body of knowledge tells us that our non-physical self is architected in the same 10-node manner as our physical self. So the scientific theme behind the mystical knowledge of Qabalah is embedded systems!
If there are still people out there who steadfastedly hold to the disbelief that the sciences of our day are converging on a point where they will validate the "wisdom of the ages", then I feel a bit sorry for them that they do not see the writing on the wall of history. The very fact that scientists generally agree there is such a "Force" that we are calling Dark Energy should be evidence enough, but the coincidence of how the theories of physics are settling on the 10/11 dimensional model should be another dead giveaway.
Add to this the story I have been telling about the "embeddedness" of Force, Energy, Information and how they lead to the higher level of INTENTION. Clearly we live in the Information Age, and it would seem hard to argue that we are not evolving beyond this... towards our destiny in the age of INTENTION. And all this is unfolding before us here in the years leading up to the fabled 2012.
Perhaps at this point I should ask OvLrdLegion to chime in and lay-out the final 7 years of the "End of Time" (or End Times) that we live in... and what event started that 7 year countdown and where it will end. OvLrd? Care to take up this discussion from here?
