M-Theory

taken from my paragraph - a standard model of 10 dimensions + time, that we live on a membrane that is 3 dimensional, all of space that we live in is part of it, For one to exist theres to be at least 2 membranes, separated by a gap along the 4th dimension of space, which is not one of our existing dimensions

found this web page of a transcript of a horizons programme from ten years ago on parallel universes, hopefully it wont be out of date now

ive written up my notes

as predicted theyre quite long shall i just bring them on wednesday or would u like to see them beforehand? what stuff did you get done last week btw

Censorship

Trying to remove any remnants of what has happened and when it happened, but by leaving the space there between where it has happened it is framed e.g. Cromewell house trees, memorial. Do the houses that were attached to it still refer to it as the house next door but 1 even though it has been removed?.

In spaces where tragedy occurs why do they always make a garden? e.g. Ground zero, Cromwell street. Is this like a cover up? Put something nice there and people pretend nothing has happened? but people remember, it's not a space in between it's a missing part... a big glaring hole. They put a garden there because they don't know what else to do.

How do people wh remember react day to day?

It is not a space more a void, like if you void a transaction it doesn't mean that the transaction didn't take place.

People still walk past there and go "That's where Fred and Rose lived" even if ther are looking at 2 benches and a lawn.

What is a Black Hole?
By William R. Harris, HowStuffWorks.com

Black Holes? Absurd!

Black holes are almost as difficult to imagine as they are to detect, but a few scientists have been up for the task over the centuries. Cambridge scholar John Michell wrote a paper in 1783 in which he hypothesized the existence of "dark stars" — stars so large and with so much gravity that light wouldn't escape their surfaces. Most astronomers of the day thought it was an absurd notion.

Then, in 1915, Einstein published his general theory of relativity, providing a framework that allowed for a reinterpretation of Michell's hypothesis. An Indian graduate student by the name of Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar piggybacked on Einstein's theories to suggest that stars of a certain size — much larger than our sun — would experience a catastrophic collapse at the end of their lives, thereby transforming the bodies into cosmic vacuum cleaners whose powerful gravity could suck all light and matter into their black maws.

Tick, tock, tick -- wait. Time's not real?

When you're having fun, time flies. Waiting in a traffic jam, not so much. Your birthday was last month, and your mortgage payment is due in a few days. The fact that we perceive time is certainly no illusion. But is it really there, or is it something we invented?

Early on in human history, we decided to start measuring the days and weeks, and eventually hours, minutes and seconds. Time was useful in organizing society, planting crops and getting ready for dates. Things worked extremely well until scientists started muddling it all up.

Pesky Incongruities

In the 17th century, English scientist Isaac Newton was pretty sure time existed as a universal constant. But in 1908, Hermann Minkowski, expanding on one of Einstein's ideas on the relationship between space and time, suggested a space-time continuum. This theory held that space and time were inextricably mixed, with all events occurring along the same timeline. Einstein presented his theory of general relativity not long after this and proposed that time is but an illusion.

Around the same time (if you believe in time, that is), the field of quantum mechanics grew out of an effort to explain the relationship between matter and energy. This presented a little problem for scientists trying to create a single, unified theory to account for the universe and its component parts. Quantum mechanics requires the existence of time to work. General relativity does not.

Three is the magic number, right?

For most of our history, we've rested easy in the notion that there were three dimensions that have existed throughout time: length, width and height. Ah, the good old days. In the early 20th century, Hermann Minkowski and Albert Einstein connected our comfortable three dimensions with a fourth, time, defining special relativity using a space-time continuum.

This kind of worked, but still didn't explain a troublesome new theory of gravity called quantum mechanics that arose around the same time Minkowski and Einstein were working on their theories. Quantum mechanics had its own rules that contradicted the concepts behind the space-time continuum. Scientists treated this incompatibility like the weather for decades, discussing it but not really doing anything about it.

Who doesn't love (multi-dimensional) donuts?

While higher theoretical dimensions began with Descartes in the 1600s, in the 1970s string theory expanded on this idea as physicists attempted to tie everything together in one elegant explanation of the universe. Variations of string theory require the existence of up to eleven dimensions and a slew of universes, with our universe forming a three-dimensional membrane floating around some higher-dimensional donut. According to this theory, each point in space has six higher dimensions wrapped up in super-tiny geometries called Calibi-Yau Manifolds.

One recent string theory suggests that the reason we only experience the three spatial dimensions is that all universes with higher dimensions got into some cosmic car accident and destroyed each other, leaving our measly three-dimensional "brane" untouched

It probably wasn't long after ancient people developed a belief in the afterlife that they began trying to contact those who had crossed over to the other side.

Necromancy, the term for such communication with dead souls, comes from the ancient Greek wordnekromanteia, but the practice dates back much further than the Greeks. Egyptian and Chaldean magicians attempted to conjure up the deceased and speak with them, and God specifically barred the ancient Hebrews from engaging in the practice in Deuteronomy 18:10-11. In the epic poem "The Odyssey," Homer describes his hero Odysseus casting spells according to the instructions from the sorceress Circe, in an effort to speak to the prophet Tiresias and gain assistance to return home. Roman neuromancers believed that it was easiest to reach the dead in caverns and near volcanoes, which they believed to be passageways to the underworld.

In Medieval and Renaissance Europe, occultists persisted in their efforts to conjure up the dead and speak with them, even though in some countries at various times, it was a crime punishable by death (that is, when civil and/or ecclesiastic authorities weren't practicing it themselves). In 1664, for example, the famous English jurist Sir Matthew Hale convicted two elderly women of "unlawful communication with infernal agents" and sentenced them to hang. By the late 1700s, however, necromancy had resurfaced and was being practiced again openly, thanks in part to the pioneering efforts of George, First Baron Lyttelton, who published a manual called "Dialogues with the Dead," which quoted his conversations with the classical Greek statesman Pericles and the deceased Russian czar Peter the Great, among others.

In the 1800s, believers in necromancy even organized their own religion, Spiritualism, and held gatherings called séances, during which they attempted to contact the spirits of the deceased. The belief became so popular that during the American Civil War, Mary Todd Lincoln held séances in the White House in an effort to contact her dead son Willie. His father, President Abraham Lincoln, dutifully attended those events. Typically, in séances of the time, participants would gather around a table in a darkened room, while the leader of the gathering, called the medium, would cast an incantation and go into a trance that purportedly allowed the spirits of the dead to enter his or her body and use it as an ethereal public-address system. The medium would speak in the dead person's voice, or use a pen and paper to convey messages, a practice called automatic writing.

Is Time Travel Possible?

Einstein's Theory of Relativity says that time travel is perfectly possible — if you're going forward. Finding a way to travel backwards requires breaking the speed of light, which so far seems impossible. But now, strange-but-true phenomena such as quantum nonlocality, where particles instantly teleport across vast distances, may give us a way to make the dream of traveling back and forth through time a reality. Step into a time machine and rewrite history, bring loved ones back to life, control our destinies. But if we succeed, what are the consequences of such freedom? Will we get trapped in a plethora of paradoxes and multiple universes that will destroy the fabric of the universe?

Could We Travel Back in Time, Thanks to Entanglement Physics?
By Susan Nasr, HowStuffWorks.com

Entangling Einstein

Einstein said that nothing travels faster than the speed of light, but when physicists look at how entangled particles behave, they get stuck in a mirage in which that tenet appears not to be true.

Physicists don't fully understand entanglement, beyond it being a relationship between particles. If you want to know what entanglement looks like, pull up a chair to an experiment that has produced it. Researchers at the University of Nice-Sophia Antipolis and the University of Geneva shone a laser made of photons, the basic units of light, into the crystal. When the laser's photons hit irregularities in the crystal, single photons sometimes split into two. These daughter photons were related to one another, and to their parent photon, in how much energy they had.

You can think of the parent photon as being like a train, and the crystal like many bumps. When the train hit the bumps, it broke into two chains of cars with related directions and speeds. These daughter photons weren't just related, but entangled. Particles are entangled if they're related in one property but random in the rest.

spacey wacey and timey wimey stuff

have made about 11 pages of notes thus far on things loosely based on the perimeters you wanted on space and time, space time, the big bang, black holes, multiple dimensions, parallel universes and quantum theory ill keep looking for big brother stuff though youtube isnt the goldmine i thought it would be for this

youtube big brother moments

ill update as i find new ones
