Can't seem to get away from that spirituality piece...

Nope. I can't.

Why do I seem to want to either "prove" the singulation process, with some equation, or throw out the spirituality piece?

Sean mentioned the word singulation in class the other day! Wow! He talked about his not believing in the standard concept of "time", because time needed a position and a frame of reference, and physics say that before the Big Bang, there was nothing, so we have no frame in which to place a long time ago, or place something in the future. I think I'm explaining this correctly.
I mentioned that now, due to quantum mechanics, energy did exist before the Big Bang, but it (IMHO) singualted a the moment of the bang, so there was something before, in order to have something after...

I'll have to look up what the physicists say "happened" when the BB occured. So if there was nothing before (like in traditional physics), what came together and what was that thing that happened, called?

throwing out what is not necessary...

OK - I don't really need to "deal" with the motion part -
For singulation to happen you only need energy or consciousness and time. I think all the other reading I'm doing is confuzing me!

"In the classical mechanics a given object is either a particle or a wave." In quantum mechanics, the emphasis is on the "primacy of measurement", and for me, in the act of observing, we singulate the behavior or properties to become one or another of these properties.

From another SI article speaking about Time - "It arises when theorists try to turn Einstein's general theory of relativity into a quantum theory using a procedure called canonical quantization. The procedure worked brilliantly when applied to the theory of electromagnetism, but in the case of relativity, it produces an equation - the Wheeler-DeWitt equation - without a time variable. Taken literally, the equation indicates that the universe should be frozen in time, never changing."
Well, the process od singulation changes that. Every time energy changes from the wave to the particle or from the particle to the wave, upon observervation, for that attosecond, time stops. Time freezes. Just for that process to happen, and then things resume, under whatever forces or principle the thing now belongs to, or adheres by.

OK - now I need a friendly physicist to write me an equation, so I can test this idea. Any volunteers?

Here's the Wikipedia thing on the Wheeler-De-Witt equation -

In theoretical physics, the Wheeler-DeWitt equation is an equation that a wave function of the Universe should satisfy in a theory of quantum gravity. An example of such a wave function is the Hartle-Hawking state.

Simply speaking, the WDW equation says

H |\psi\rangle = 0

where H is the total Hamiltonian constraint in quantized general relativity.

In general the Hamiltonian vanishes for a theory with time scaling invariance.

There is also a diffeomorphism constraint.

I really haven't a clue what all that means - I'm needing some help here!

Well....maybe not....

OK - I'm just going to dump all this stuff out there, mostly from SI articles and Science and Spirit, and then try to relate the Singulation process to it...

'Special relativity theory also states that physical laws are invariant for moving observers, but space and time are not. But if space and time are combined in the proper way, the changes in time due to relativity exactly cancel the changes in space, which results in an "invariant interval" of the combination. "

Schrodinger's cat paradox = symmetry is broken when observer looks at cat

The existance of Level III depends on one crutical assumption: that the time evolution of the wave function is unitary.

Hugh Everett III - many worlds interpretation - mathmatical object called a wave function = according to the cat guy's equation, this state evolves over time that is called unitary.
Wave function rotates in an abstract infinite-dimensional space, called Hilbert Space. This wave function evolves in deterministic manner.
Ol' Hugh predicted that one classical reality gradually splits into superpositions of many such realities...with probabilties in exact agreement with those from the old collapse postulate...This superposition of classical worlds is the Level III multiverse.

Decoherence process = mimics wave function collapse while preserving unitarity.



Most people think of time as a way to describe change.

By jove, I think I got it!

still more musings....

I think my explaination is an attempt to meld the spirit side with the physics and consciousness parts...
The singulation process is not just where only ONE observer, or just the observer, has an effect - it's a process of two things coming together in that moment when you take a peek in the box to see if the cat is dead or alive (see Schrödinger's Cat). In a way, it is the potential energy of the quantum., it's that stopping of both time and motion that makes reality.

OK - now, the two parts of the process...my dad, Alvin, Dick and I were talking about this today...
IF consciousness is in all things, and if the observer 'looks', which transforms the wave into the particle, that's only the focusing of that consciousness...so I don't think that's right.
What about the soul? Not one's soul, but the soulness of the collective...the glue that interacts with consciousness...
I'm thinking abou that - consciousness and the collective soul, as being the two things, that in an instant, stop time and motion, which that process I'm calling singulation, that reality is created.

More on the Singulation process....

Reading and reflecting on Bridging Science and Spirit by Norman Friedman

p. 74 - Friedman is parphasing a point in Briggs and Peat's book Looking Glass Universe..."The timeless order of the wave function is changed into the timed order of the three-dimensional world where real experience takes place. This process is called the quantum mechanical arrow of time. Irreversible time is the result of breaking the symmetry of a timeless order."

New word - SINGULATE
Meaning = to freeze, to identify and make real, to remove time and motion (if only for an instant), a process

Singulation is the process of how a wave becomes a particle, or how a particle becomes a wave.

Through the process of singulation, consciousness and the soul (the ether) make reality.

Singulation is the absence or instant removal, or temporary stopping of, time and motion, in order to make something a reality.

OK - so, imagine the table top of your kitchen table is ether, moving at faster than the speed of light...we see on the table top all of reality and events, past though (Dick said future too, but I'm not sure yet) Jesus's birth, the fall of rome, my birth, your son's wedding, etc. Through singulation, meaning through the observer, ones consciousness interacting with ones soul, there suddenly, in an instant, the motion of all the ether and time stops, and things become a reality, reality that we can experience, so those items become reality, a change happens. What is at work here is similar to to Heisenberg's Uncertainity Principle -
http://www.aip.org/history/heisenberg/p08.htm
in that on that table top, we can only see the past events ( I answered the ify part above!) because we can only locate the position (in the past) because the momentum is still too fast.
Another similarity is the Hubble Telescope findings of the Deep Field, of getting energy pictures of the billion years ago old universe -
http://hubblesite.org/newscenter/newsdesk/archive/releases/1996/01/text/
We are seeing into the past, that's because our consciousness has singulated that small part of the table top - of the ether, or really, consciousness.
