QUANTUM PHYSICS: ENTANGLED PARTICLES CAN INSTANTLY INFLUENCE EACH OTHER AT OPPOSITE SIDES OF THE UNIVERSE... OR TIME MAY NOT EXIST INSIDE ATOMS...

THE PHILOSOPHY OF VERA PERCEPIO, AN EXTRACT:

"Take for example the most famous scientific equation of all time, E=mc2, where 'c' denotes the speed of light, 'E' equals energy, and 'm' equals mass. If time is different or not existent in the quantum world or the event horizon of a black hole, then speed must also be different because speed is a measure of the rate in which time passes when an object travels over a distance between two points. Hypothetically, if time doesn't exist in these places, either E=m alone or the whole equation no longer applies."

Hi Peter, that sounds fascinating. I tried the link but it didn't work for me - is it correct?

Hi Khira, I just clicked on it and it got me to it. Maybe take another shot?

This is the UK link - might be better for Kindle!

Yes, that works, thank you!

"Time may not exist inside atoms"??? Hmm. What does it mean for time to "exist"? The equation itself seems to say energy, E, is a thing. mass, m, is a thing, and speed of light (~time), c, is a thing. Where do these "three" different things exist?

They manifest themselves as the things in our material world - and time is a necessary component of cause and effect.

In what way is time a "thing" in our "material" world? It's a concept, a thought. And thoughts, unless you are a materialist, are not part of the "material world."

What I said was, "time is a necessary component of cause and effect." If you don't like the word 'thing' use 'phenomena'. But time is more than a thought, if it was just that we'd all have different versions of it and the time taken for an orbit of the Earth is the same even if no humans were present to observe or think about it.

Let's skip over the "we'd all have different versions of it" comment. We do. But I know what you are saying. And yes, phenomena, is a better term than thing. But do "phenomena" actually "exist" in the material world, or are their effects what we can measure. We measure the effect of gravity, and I believe we measure the effect of thought, both of which probably "exist" is some other dimension. Wasn't this the thread talking about multi-dimensional mathematics and reality?

Absolutely and I'm not arguing against that - it's possible to have multiple dimensions and still have time. My view ( and I have an open mind) is that phenomena do exist in the material world and measurement is simply an interaction that at the subatomic level requires apparatus that interferes with the phenomena. I would love to know more about your idea that thought may exist as another domension.

Well, I have a series of sci-fi novels that are based on my pseudo-scientific theory of thought. I wouldn't mind discussing that, but it is fiction. And come to think of it, I could argue for it on a vector level too, I suppose.
