If "everything is energy" then what does this mean?

[Rick O'Shez]

I wish I was more of a scientist/physicist myself. I would write a book about interaction.

Have you tried looking at interaction at the different scales, ie cosmic, "everyday" and sub-atomic?

The fascinating thing about black holes is that the laws of physics break down and no one knows what is going on inside. Knowing a bit more about the theories around black holes might prove to be a very good investment of your time and may possibly help you work out the details of your idea. Likewise, a side trip into the woozy world of Quantum Mechanics might be great, just steer clear of writers that do not have any scientific credentials.


Likewise,

Calculus for Beginners and Artists

If I were to write a book myself, unfortunately I would be one of those writers with no scientific credentials...even though I'm pretty sure science would back up what I call my (unofficial) Theory of Interaction.

Yes, interaction is present at all scales.

 

[Runewolf1973]

I like Guinness!!

Yes, all of which requires change/interaction.

Yeah.. Dream interactions.

 

[Runewolf1973]

Yeah.. Dream interactions.

Which are interdepenent on what? Brain matter interactions.

Sad to one is the shining of one photon,
next to the shadow of the next.
But the glow is pleasant.
Everything is interactive,
as with all that exists !

One Light, though the photons be Many.

Yes, literally, there is no difference between what constitutes me and what constitutes Andromeda or any other galaxy in the universe. IMHO, many Hindus have not understood Brahman correctly. For example they use the phrase 'merging into Brahman' (Brahmaleen, generally for someone who has died). Now, the real position is that there were never two separate things. That person and Brahman. Therefore, to say that now he has merged with Brahman is not correct. Then also, the person was Brahman, and now after death also, the person is Brahman.
.

That is correct. It is only 'as if' there is a merging of the jiva with Brahman.

It is important to note that the appearance of your form and that of Andromeda are different, but 'what constitutes' them is the same.

 

[godnotgod]

I'm pretty sure the "changeless" thing comes from a meditative experience of stillness, which people then project out onto the universe...

.

The exact opposite is the case: once the barriers of the meditator have been demolished, there is no separation between Universe and meditator.

The meditator IS the Universe. The Universe is not a vessel that contains other 'things'; those very things ARE what make up The Universe itself, just as all of the drops of ocean water make up the entire ocean, each water drop containing all of that which is ocean water.

 

[godnotgod]

Yeah.. Dream interactions.

When the dreamer awakens, where were there ever any such 'dream interactions'?

I think you're still dreaming, while awake.

 

[godnotgod]

Like in dream your mind manifests a snake and you get frightened.

But is there a change to the dreamer because of the dream-snake? If he was bitten in the dream, does he now require medical attention?

 

[godnotgod]

To interactions, add conciousness, still nebulous, vapory. Add something of substance.

There is no 'substance' to consciousness; it is empty of self-nature, and yet, it is self-evident. Stop looking, and simply see, what is.

 

[godnotgod]

I'm glad you added "at least not for me". There seem to be so many different ideas about "Brahman", which as I observed earlier is a good reason not to use it in a discussion like this. It would be much better if we stuck to plain English in threads like this, and avoided all the ill-defined religious terminology which nobody seems to agree on anyway.

I already provided you an accurate description. Read it:

Brahman (Sanskrit: ब्रह्म, "the Supreme Being; the Absolute Reality; Godhead"), from the verb brh, "to grow", and connotes "immensity" — is the impersonal and immanent, infinite cause and support of the universe that has no form or attributes. The uncaused cause of the Universe; satchidānanda (Existence-Consciousness-Bliss Absolute), The Eternal Changeless Reality, not conditioned by time, space and causation. Brahman is the basis, source and support of everything — the transcendent reality which is the Divine Ground of all matter, energy, time, space, being, and everything beyond in this universe. Its nature consists of the three incommunicable attributes of (1) sat (Absolute Being), (2) chit (Consciousness), (3) ananda (Bliss). This Supreme Being assumes a dual nature — Male and Female. The male aspect is known as Purusha which means “that-which-fills” — and the Female aspect is known as Shakti which translates as “Energy” or “Dynamic Force” or Prakriti — material nature. Also called as Paramātman (Universal Self), Parasiva, Ultimate Reality, Supreme Being or the Absolute.

Description
The Vedas depict Brahman as the Ultimate Reality, the Absolute or Paramātman (Universal Self). Brahman is the indescribable, inexhaustible, incorporeal, omniscient, omnipresent, original, first, eternal, both transcendent and immanent, absolute infinite existence, and the ultimate principle who is without a beginning, without an end , who is hidden in all and who is the cause, source, material and effect of all creation known, unknown and yet to happen in the entire universe.

Fundamental forces ie: Fundamental Interactions. By interaction I don't mean there are separate entities coming together, I mean there are forces at play in the universe by which all energy and all phenomena is universally connected. I suppose you could say those Fundamental Forces are entities, but are they really separate? I see them as fundamentally united. I believe one day science will be able to write all the Fundamental Interactions down as a single, all-encompassing, universal, interactive field equation. A single Fundamental Force or Interaction (written down as a complete mathematical equation) which explains all phenomena in the universe.

The theory is called The Unified Field.

I understand the immense complications (impossibilities perhaps) with regards to coming up with an actual working model of a Theory of Everything. That is why I keep my own personal Theory of Everything rather simple....Everything is Interaction.

Which tells us absolutely NOTHING! It's just silly! It's like saying 'all humans breathe oxygen'. Yes? And......? C:\......

 

[godnotgod]

I have always been the artist. I use my creativity to figure out problems.

Maybe you can use it to 'figure out' what all of this 'interacton' is all about. Then again, not, as there is nothing to 'figure out'.

ha ha ha ha......so credentialed science has broken down and you still tout those who have them, as if it really means anything of import?

At least Michio Kaku, who concluded that 'physics is having a nervous breakdown' re: black holes, has the courage to admit that 'nature is smarter than we are', unquote. Then again, he IS Japanese, the culture in which Buddhism flourished.

Unfortunately my math sucks b***s.

Your pet 'theory' is what is known as a 'billiard ball' model.
