Re: Time and Changing your Point Of View
P.S. I said in my description of the "slice" of time, it's impossible to view an object in this way, because of the way we perceive time. I can't think of a better way to visualize it.
Oh, I completely agree! I wasn't criticizing, as much as I was simply clarifying. /ttiforum/images/graemlins/smile.gif
By the way, when you look at a sphere, there's two sides... inside and outside. Does the outside of the sphere represent a negative quadrant in your matrix? Or is that another one of my misinterpretations?
Actually, not so much a misinterpretation as it is a perfect lead-in to a discussion of our human Point Of View (POV). But first let me try to answer your question. In this case, the sphere represents the "light bubble event horizon" of some event that has occurred in the universe. Since the bubble is formed by light, and light is energy, the bubble itself is composed of all 3 elements of Massive SpaceTime. This is because in the strictest scientific terms, Energy is a function of Mass, Space, and Time.
Now, let's "look" at this situation from two different POVs to "see" if we can identify how the inner and outer surfaces of the "light bubble" relate to positive or negative quadrants of Massive SpaceTime. If you are the OBSERVER of some event, this would place you outside the growing light bubble emanating from that event. As the bubble expands to your point of observation, you perceive the event as the outer surface of the light bubble strikes you. Thus, in the Massive SpaceTime Matrix this would be represented in the "positive quadrants" since it relates to something that you experienced. In other words, you can plot this event on your Massive SpaceTime Matrix in terms of the Mass you observed, where in Space relative to youself that you observed it, and a point in your relative Time that you made the observation. It would only be considered in the "negative quadrants" for some person who was NOT observing that event... for example, if I had my back to the event, the light bubble would strike me but I would have NOT perceived the event at all. Supposedly, the event did happen (perhaps if you observed it you told me about it), but since I did not observe it, it would not be registered in my "positive quadrants" of Massive SpaceTime.
But now.... let us examine this same scenario, but this time we will take the POV of the person who created this event. This is the person who initiated the "light bubble" with his/her creative act. Here we can see that the act of Creation is different, and diametrically opposed to the act of Perception. Since this person created the event, the inner surface of the light bubble they create represents "positive quadrant" elements in Massive SpaceTime. The reason this is so is because that light bubble defines the zone of influence of the event that it is transmitting. In other words, the inner surface of the bubble defines the limits of your expectations for what you hoped to accomplish in your external environment as a result of initiating the event. Do you understand this? To you, the creator of the event, the outside surface of this light bubble represents the "negative quadrant" elements on Massive SpaceTime for the sheer fact that you are NOT the observer of this light bubble, but rather its creator. When you merge this with the discussion of the event observer described above, you see a nice balance: My negative quadrants directly corresponds to their positive quadrants, and vice-versa. Energy is conserved, just like the Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics tells us it should be!
And of course, the POV is a major element of Einstein's Relativity. How you select your POV for any given event will partially determine how you will perceive that event.
Does this make sense? /ttiforum/images/graemlins/smile.gif Kind Regards,
