Thoughts on Energy Science, Spirituality & Metaphysics
Spirituality Metaphysics is the study of the nature and being, of reality and its origin and structure, including such concepts as Being, Substance, Essence, Time, Space, Cause and Identity.
Traditionaly. science dealt with mass as mass, and ignored all spiritual matters.
But just as religion had to succumb to scientific knowledge, so now, science is beginning to unravel the mysteries of the universe with Quantum physics.
And their latest findings are stretching science into the realms of Spirituality Metaphysics.
Quantum science is going beyond the probe of atoms, and exploring the weird and wacky, new words are entering science, new ideas, theories and dimensions, String Theory, Zero Point Energy Theory, and Membrane Theory to mention a few.
The deeper Quantum physicists explore, the more they are realizing there are higher realities within infinite dimensions of intelligent energy.
Albert Einstein was one of the first to go Quantum, and here are some of his ideas and theories, which have become Law...
It all begins with Energy & Atoms: The entire universe is enegy moving into and out of form.
Your body contains trillions of atoms, of many different elements. There are atoms of hydrogen and oxygen, carbon and nitrogen,...but your body also contains many atoms of calcium, nickel, potassium, iron...even gold!
In all, there are 92 different types of atoms, most of which can be found in the molecules that make up the tissues of your body.
Since we know that when the universe formed, the only elements around were hydrogen and helium, where did all these other types of atoms come from?
The answer is quite startling...all of the atoms in your body, other than helium and hydrogen, were manufactured in the center of a supernova...a star that once existed, but destroyed itself in a gigantic explosion!
To understand how this is possible, we need to look at what atoms are.
The simplest atom is hydrogen, which contains a nucleus composed of one proton, circled by one moving electron.
The next simplest atom, helium, has a nucleus with 2 protons, and is circled by 2 electrons.
The biggest naturally occurring atom is uranium, with 92 protons, and 92 electrons.(For simplicity, we will ignore the fact that these atoms also contain neutrons in their nuclei.)
It is possible for small atoms to combine to form bigger ones...but only under intense heat and pressure...the millions of degrees found in the center of a star. This process is called nuclear fusion.
Large stars will be so hot in their interior that hydrogen atoms are forced together to form helium atoms, helium atoms are forced together to form still larger atoms,...and so on. Eventually, large stars will contain in their interior, shells of many different heavier atoms, some as big as iron (57 protons).
If the star is large enough, when it runs out of fuel it will collapse in on itself. The relatively cooler outer layers hit the incredibly hot interior, and a massive explosion occurs, called a supernova.
Stars that do this don't live very long...while a smaller star like our sun may burn for tens of billions of years, a massive star that is destined to become a supernova may burn out and explode in a matter of a few million years...a ten-thousandth of the lifetime of our sun.
During this explosion, temperatures rise once again; coupled with intense pressure, this is enough energy to force larger atoms to combine, creating all of the heavier elements from iron to uranium!
This explosion is so large that it propels the contents of the star out into space...including all the heavy elements it has made. Vast clouds of atoms of all types remain, where once there was a star.
We know that at the beginning of the universe, there was only hydrogen and helium. Massive stars formed from these gases, burned out in a few million years, and spewed the heavy elements they created into space around them.
This process has occurred over and over since the universe began some 17 billion years ago. We can observe it still happening today, in our large telescopes.
When our star (the sun) and its family of planets formed from interstellar gases some 5 billion years ago, those gases were already well seeded with heavy elements formed in supernovas that occurred in our interstellar neighbourhood in the previous 12 billion years. All of the heavier elements that went into forming the earth, the ground, the biosphere,... everything... came from this interstellar gas cloud. And so did all the elements in your body!
Spirituality Metaphysics: E=MC2
Albert Einstein is perhaps the most famous scientist of this century. One of his most well-known accomplishments is the formula E=MC2
Despite its familiarity, many people don't really understand what it means.
One of Einstein's great insights was to realize that matter and energy are really different forms of the same thing. Matter can be turned into energy, and energy into matter.
For example, consider a simple hydrogen atom, basically composed of a single proton. This subatomic particle has a mass of 0.000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 001 672 kg. This is a tiny mass indeed. But in everyday quantities of matter there are a lot of atoms! For instance, in one kilogram of pure water, the mass of hydrogen atoms amounts to just slightly more than 111 grams, or 0.111 kg.
Einstein's formula tells us the amount of energy this mass would be equivalent to, if it were all suddenly turned into energy. It says that to find the energy, you multiply the mass by the square of the speed of light, this number being 300,000,000 meters per second (a very large number): = 0.111 x 300,000,000 x 300,000,000 = 10,000,000,000,000,000 Joules
This is an incredible amount of energy! A Joule is not a large unit of energy ... one Joule is about the energy released when you drop a textbook to the floor. But the amount of energy in 30 grams of hydrogen atoms is equivalent to burning hundreds of thousands of gallons of gasoline!
If you consider all the energy in the full kilogram of water, which also contains oxygen atoms, the total energy equivalent is close to 10 million gallons of gasoline!
Spirituality Metaphysics: Relativity
Einstein's also came up with ideas about time, the Theory of Relativity.
Strange things can happen when you move Fast...things you won't learn about in high school courses, and won't experience while driving down the road in your pick-up. But these things are still very real, and definitely Weird!
Light rays travel very quickly...they cover about 300,000 kilometres every second.
This is as fast as anything can travel; nothing can move as fast as light particles.
But if it were possible to build a very powerful vehicle that could move almost as fast as light...perhaps 200,000 km every second...then anyone observing this vehicle as it flashed past would notice some extremely peculiar things happening to it.
The vehicle would appear shorter than normal, and in fact, it would be shorter. If the vehicle were ordinarily 3 metres long, it might now be only 2 metres in length. If you were able to weigh the vehicle, you would discover that it weighed much more than normal. Anybody riding in it would weigh many times their normal weight.. However, the people in the vehicle would not feel any heavier, or any thinner. They would feel and look normal to themselves...but if they looked out the window, they would see the rest of the world moving by, and it would appear to be shrunk.
If the vehicle were to move faster and faster, getting closer and closer to the speed of light, it and the people in it would continue to get thinner and thinner, while at the same time getting heavier and heavier! These strange occurrences, as described by Albert Einstein, can actually be observed. It is not yet possible to build a vehicle that will go this fast, of course...the fastest spacecraft only cover about 15-20 kilometres in a second. But tiny particles called 'cosmic rays' that are given off by the sun...the ones that cause the Northern Lights when they hit earth's magnetic field...move almost as fast as light, and their mass can be measured. When they move that fast, their mass IS much heavier than normal.
The Universe Could be a Hologram
The holographic principle is a property of string theories and a supposed property of quantum gravity that states that the description of a volume of space can be thought of as encoded on a boundary to the region—preferably a light-likeboundary like a gravitational horizon. First proposed by Gerard 't Hooft, it was given a precise string-theory interpretation by Leonard Susskind[1] who combined his ideas with previous ones of 't Hooft and Charles Thorn. As pointed out by Raphael Bousso,Thorn observed in 1978 that string theory admits a lower-dimensional description in which gravity emerges from it in what would now be called a holographic way.
In a larger sense, the theory suggests that the entire universe can be seen as a two-dimensional information on thecosmological horizon, such that the three dimensions we observe are an effective description only atmacroscopic scales and at low energies. Cosmological holography has not been made mathematically precise, partly because the particle horizon has a non-zero area and grows with time.
The holographic principle was inspired by black hole thermodynamics, which conjectures that the maximal entropy in any region scales with the radius squared, and not cubed as might be expected. In the case of a black hole, the insight was that the informational content of all the objects that have fallen into the hole might be entirely contained in surface fluctuations of the event horizon. The holographic principle resolves the black hole information paradox within the framework of string theory. However, there exist classical solutions to the Einstein equations that allow values of the entropy larger than those allowed by an area law, hence in principle larger than those of a black hole. These are the so-called "Wheeler's bags of gold". The existence of such solutions conflicts with the holographic interpretation, and their effects in a quantum theory of gravity including the holographic principle are not yet fully understood. But new studies in the field are gathering promising results for the theory.
Interestingly enough I came to an understanding of my spiritual nature through a study of physics, specifically Nassim Haramein’s unified field theory. Physicists have discovered that the entire universe is pure energy, and that nothing is solid. In the words of Einstein,
“Concerning matter, we have been all wrong. What we have called matter is energy, whose vibration has been so lowered as to be perceptible to the senses. There is no matter.”
To me this is very interesting. I belive the entire universe is energy, everything we see is a vibrational frequency of energy. In the beginning we had light and sound as the principle acting forces during the big bang. In this way, it supports the theory that everyting is really a hologram, merely a display of light and sound waves in a variety of frequencies. We are made of the same elements as the stars, and have within the physical body an eternal energy known as the soul. This soul is light energy and thus energy practices affect the energy of our bodies. This is how I have applied metaphysics into my spirituality.
