Dimensionless

[daramantus]

Let's consider that time is an illusion, and since time has such an intimate relationship with space, so space is an illusion as well, so is motion.... I believe the Universe is 'Dimensionless' and it is a closed Universe. Black holes cruch time and space down to nothing, gives evidence that my theory is true, this along with quantum interconnectedness.. The concept of universal wholeness points to a universe where geometry and dimensions are abstract concepts. The map of the territory but not the territory itself...

I really don't know why people love the illusion of time. I know of a bad pop science book written by a medical doctor that tries to make the point that time is an illusion using quantum mechanics. However, it's not convincing at all. Any first year physics undergrad can disprove it. Something we see being an illusion is nothing new. If you google Zeno's paradox in 490BC there was a school of thought that motion was an illusion..... when we discovered that sums of infinite series can be finite and we developed differential calculus this was blown out of the water. Your using the same logic that these 490BC humans had.... I think we've moved on since then. What you are doing is saying I don't fully understand it therefore it's an illusion. We have now developed the scientific method. If time is an illusion you'll have to explain the following:

 

I put two identical meals in two identical ovens which are both at 200 degrees C. The only variable I change is time. One comes out early and is under-cooked and the other comes out late and it is burnt. If time is an illusion then it would not change the outcome. If you are going to assert that time is an illusion you'll have to come up with an alternative explanation as to why time seems to alter the outcome of the food.

That is not very helpful unless you are going to give us some alternative tools to find out what the "territory itself" is.

1. You don't have a theory

 

2. Black holes don't do that.

 

3. So this doesn't support your "theory" (vague waffle)
