Is There More That We Might See?

This question intrigues me. Things we observe, experiences we have, the inexplicable we encounter and all the other odd things seen prompt wonder; I wonder what more there is, what more that we can tune in?

We know things exist for which we have no capacity to sense. The scientists and cosmologists talk about atoms, electrons, neutrons, particles, quarks, waves, any number of things we certainly don’t see some of which we can connect to by microscope, x-ray, ultra violet & infrared lens or some other physical measuring or observing device.

Ever see a particle pass through never really touching you? No? But we accept they do. They are doing this constantly every day in fact. We accept there are planets so far away we have no ability to contact or see them. We conclude their existence by the extenuating circumstances in that part of the universe we see, measure and otherwise calculate the existence and placement of them.

They tell us there is dark matter that occupies the greater percentage of our universe than does the material stuff we can see. Also we are told about black holes that exist. We are told space is curved by reason of which passage of time is relative to motion of that observed and that observing it. In this way time can be shorter or longer in duration for a moving object then for the object observing it.

The existence of matter is said to depend on the observation of it. Without a conscious observer it has no reality in either space or time, at best it has the potential to be if happened on by an observer and consciously observed.

Sound wild? Take a look at Schrödinger’s Cat. This cat is famous in science. It is in a box, which at first is alive then it is dead, then it is there alive again. It is in fact dead or alive when observed to be one or the other.

It is surmised there are channels available to pass thru time and place to other times and places, forward, backward and laterally. For lack of a better term describing them they are called “Wormholes” the forward and backward feature of them could amount to time travel, lateral movement could be travel from one universe to another.

Oh yes, I forgot to say the same musing suggests there has to be more than one universe in existence to accommodate choice and change as naturally exercised by us. The explanations range around the topics of the exercise of free will, the results of choice, the relative nature of existence that is within our exercise of consciousness of it, like Schrödinger’s Cat. This is then extended from the act of consciousness coupled with the act of choice of one alternative in the exercise of free will, or predetermined will in some cases, the choice of Yea demands the generation into reality of its partner Nay.

The yea and nay being mutually exclusive it is then reasoned that the other happens, exists, in another universe. The effects of this kind of generation of course wears out the non-concept we have of infinity.

It was bad enough to think of radio transmission as we discussed it in earlier parts of this set or essays. A transmitting device sends out a signal electronically powered that somehow travels through the air from the point of transmission to any point within a radius around the transmitter. Within that radius it can be picked up by receiving device. The receiving device has to be designed in such a way that it can receive the signal transmitted in the format it is transmitted. To do this it needs sufficient power, frequency modulation and placement to catch the signal anywhere within its radius that the signal has been sufficiently powered by the transmitter to reach. With the motive power given it at the transmitter and the power of reception built into the receiver it can pick up and take the signal into the receiver.

In all the time from transmission to reception this radio signal is not heard; it is not felt; it is not smelled; it is not seen. It remains invisible to perception of it as it passes through much of the matter it encounters without any diminishment other than the diminishment of power over the distance it has traveled. You can stand in front of the radio in most cases the signal passes right through you as particles do.

We travel from place to place in our cars; we turn on the radio in our car and listen to music or news emanating from it. How did that music or news get in there? How does it get out? How can it be heard coming out but not going into the radio, and only when we turn the radio on? Our knowledge of that is so rudimentary it merits no repeat.

The wonderful machines behind the transmission will take a sound, convert it to a digital fingerprint and transmit it in the digital format in electrical impulses of binaries, -1+1, on-off, placed in such distinct order as to be recognized for the sound it represents at both transmission and reception. The receiver of course takes that which is received and known by it and converts it back into the same sound which initially was placed into the digital format able to be transmitted.

This is a thought-full! Do we accept it as true? Do we know it to be real? Do we pay it any mind?
