Click For Summary
The discussion centers on the nature of simultaneity in the universe, contrasting Einstein's theory of special relativity with Alfred North Whitehead's perspective that simultaneity can be perceived by humans. It argues that while simultaneity may not exist in the conventional sense, it can be considered at the singularity of the Big Bang, suggesting a bi-directional flow of time in parallel universes. Participants explore the implications of human perception and sensory experiences, arguing that our understanding of simultaneity is limited by measurement methods and the arbitrary nature of time. The conversation also touches on quantum mechanics and the relationship between potential and kinetic energy, proposing that energy conservation principles may support the existence of simultaneity in certain contexts. Ultimately, the discussion reflects on the complexities of defining and understanding simultaneity within the framework of physics and human experience.

8LPF16,

From reading some of your posts, I realized the deep insights buried in them. But for the scientific world, you really need to quantify them in the exact language of mathematics.

Only then can somebody else understand and verify your great ideas.

Antonio,

It seems that someone like yourself, who has understanding of the philosophical as well as the mathematical, is in that position.

I appreciate the engaging conversations on mans' attempt to find answers. I am going to try to get the chart into small form to fit on a "post" (on a new thread). Then you can respond accordingly (and focus on simultaneity is illusion?)
