throng Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 As relativity says about simultaneity: In the universe action and reaction are simultaneous, so simultaneity does exist in that way. I guess entanglement is simultaneous too. Interesting really. Potential is a strange concept too, it basically means 'could be' so I think various possible states would exist simultaneously and it 'could be' any and all of them. Various simultaneous possibilities - potential. It led me to think that potential has a relativity of its own and the various states could be described seperately, then said to exist simultaneously. I would be interested in any scientific data or speculative reflections on this if you please.
swansont Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 In the universe action and reaction are simultaneous, so simultaneity does exist in that way. The issue doesn't come up when the events are co-located. They arise when they are separated, and light travels (or could travel) between them.

They arise when they are separated, and light travels (or could travel) between them. I was just thinking that potential is 'the possibility of being'. The mere possibility is not an event, it's the potential for an event, so potential could be considered a state of non-existance (nil event). Actually it should be various possible states of non-existance. Universal existance is relative, so potential could be states which are possible, but can't be relatively discerned from eachother. So what potential is - is various states that are possible, but can't be discerned from a state of non-existance. Thats the foundation of it.
