The Measurement of Infinite Realities

Infinite Realities viii - Man’s Mind Creates Universe

November 19th 2007 10:26

If we consider the fractal nature of our Universe, we must realise that it is an infinite reality. I just do not know whether the fractal Universe is totally already there or whether it all comes about as it is explored.

I think that it is the mind of the explorative man going beyond known limits that creates what is there, its environment – as crazy as this idea may seem.

It is as if, in a fractal Universe, celestial bodies and time and space get created in order to be zoomed in and out as needed, spurred in by the enterprising man.

This way, as far as the man can travel, there will always be something there, switched on by its own presence, forever.

Infinite Realities vii - Finite Contains Infinite

November 19th 2007 10:24

Can infinite realities contain finite ones? Can finite realities contain infinite ones? Going back to the problem previously approached of the snap-frozen counting of the grains of sand in a beach, we could now see it in a dynamic fashion.

We acknowledged before that the number of grains of sand in a beach is unknown, not infinite, and countable provided you could determine the beach’s borders. Seen as a living entity, though, with the tides and the constant movement of sea waves, as we know, grains of sand break down in certain areas and consolidate in others. So, if observed within a large time frame, we could fairly say that the number of grains of sand in that living beach were infinite and in constant mutation.

If we think of the entire Earth’s sand grains and ever-changing life, which we must conclude is infinite in number, we can also realise something interesting: which is that a finite entity – the Earth – encapsulates many infinite realities – grains of sand or whatever. A finite reality contains an infinite reality. Something which I find amazing.

What’s more, if we have the chance of travelling in a fast spacecraft and go away from our Earth we will then see that it is itself encapsulated by a greater entity which is our galaxy, the Milky Way. From this vantage point we can see the one entity – the galaxy, with all its gravitational pull and such – encapsulating a probable infinite number of other entities – planets, stars, etc.

If we move even farther away in our spacecraft we might consider the number of galaxies that exist in some part of the Universe and realise that the same phenomena of finite containing infinite goes on everywhere. One could fairly ask: what encapsulates our Universe?

If you realise, this phenomena is fractalism. Fractal realities encapsulate infinite realities within finite ones which then go on to become infinite in number and get encapsulated themselves in a greater finite. You can zoom in and out of them.

Infinite Realities vi - The Environment Basis of Infinite

November 19th 2007 10:22

After we acknowledge the unpreparedness of human life to deal with concepts that do not relate immediately to the partial and limited world we inhabit, we might be lead to think that thinking of the infinite is above us.

I’m convinced that this is wrong. I believe we can think and talk of the infinite. The evidence is that we are exploring and debating it. If we couldn’t think the infinite, then how come we talk about it? Somewhere in our gut we know this thing infinite.

I believe that we are the product of our environment and I think that whatever goes in our thinking, somewhere, goes on in our environment. This way we are prepared to understand our circumstances and survive.

I therefore see in our instinctive recognition of the infinite a proof of its existence. Whatever goes on in our mind, goes on somewhere in the Universe. Consequently, if we can conceive infiniteness in our minds, then it must be out there somewhere. We, then, just have to capture it.

Infinite Realities v - Infinite Observations

November 19th 2007 10:20

If you travel in a straight line through the Universe you can make observations of it. Every time you travel for x miles you can make one observation, then another. After a while you will have known a bit about it.

The Universe could be measured in meters or even better in years-light, but an x number of observations could also be used to give its grandeur

Infinite Realities iv - Conceiving the Infinite

November 19th 2007 10:18

What is an infinite reality?

When we look around we realise we normally deal with finite realities. We pick-up a stone and it has certain dimensions which you can measure without any difficulty. The other side of that stone is that it’s a finite reality: it has a certain, delimited mass and that’s it

Infinite Realities iii - Unknown, Unknowable and Infinite Realities

November 19th 2007 10:16

Can we conceive an infinite reality? This question requires a practical type of answer.

On our day-to-day do we come across infinite realities

Infinite Realities ii - The Preliminary Concepts

November 19th 2007 10:13

1 – What is an infinite reality? What is a finite reality? A finite reality is a reality with a beginning and an end and, conversely, an infinite reality is one with no beginning and no end. An example of a finite reality is a chair and an example of an infinite reality would be the universal space – if you think of it that way.

A finite reality, such as the chair above, is measurable – would an infinite one be measurable

Infinite Realities i - The Problems Ahead

November 19th 2007 10:10

1 – What is an infinite reality? I believe there are innumerable infinite realities everywhere around us. When I look into the night sky I always wonder how far it goes.

An infinite reality, then, would be one with no end and no beginning. Can we conceive anything like this? Probably not
