What We Will Cover

• Long Distance Space Travel

• The Three Worlds

• Is the Platonic World Real?

• The Miracles

• Controversial Concepts and Assertions

• The Obstacles

• TRIZ, Innovation and Outrageous Goals

• Whither Research

Long Distance Space Travel

• We’re Going Nowhere Fast

• Billions of Galaxies with billions of stars and we can’t even reach the next star?!?

• If we could travel at twice the speed of light, it would take millions of years to cover the average distance between galaxies and more than two years to reach the next star.

• How could we do this in a matter of hours.

• How would you approach such an unlikely goal?

Relativistic (Slow) Space Travel

• Time required to move within a region of say 100 stars – Centuries

• Within 1,000 stars – Millennia

• Among Galaxies – Eons

To fix this, Life spans must go up, or travel time must go down!

Possible Fixes

• Faster than light travel (warp drive, worm holes or parameter remapping)

• Multigenerational starships

• Suspended animation

• Extremely long lived species

We need a goal What do we want? - Instantaneous travel When do we want it? - Now

The Three Worlds

I personally believe that the Platonic Mathematical World is just as real as the physical world.

Traveling Without Moving

The Cosmology of Susskind and t’ Hooft would permit this kind of travel if it could be accomplished by changing a mapping of the information on the surface of the Rima Atra Madre

My contention is that Peer “Reviewed “ research would never fund a project addressing this kind of research nor …

Un Fundable Research Projects

• Rocket propulsion in space (New York Times)

• The use of Moss Mold, sewage or the polluted Ganges river to cure bacterial infections

• The use of chilled air to cure illnesses

• The transformation of one element into another

• The theory of oxidation (challenged Phlogiston)

• The presence of Mercury at the Lunar poles

Traveling Without Moving

• The mystics claim they can do it

• The delayed double slit experiment appears to ignore time

• Concepts of folding space purport to show how it can be done

Controversial Concepts and Assertions

• Gravity propagates 2x1010 times faster than light

• Delayed double slit experiment can revise events which happened billions of years ago

• The act of observation affects the outcome of a double slit experiment

Morphogenic fields

• Experiments in biology show that the world is quite different than commonly conceived.

• The opportunities we need are contained within these types of holes in our world views!

• Ignore the debunkers!

Holographic Universe The Rima Atram Mater (RAM)

Concepts pioneered by t’Hooft and Susskind

Black Holes – which themselves are mapped onto the Mother Black Hole, in Latin, Rima Atram Mater (RAM)

This is similar to the nested self replications of the Mandelbrot set within itself.

Volume itself is illusory and the universe is really a hologram which is isomorphic to the information "inscribed" on the surface of its boundary.[9]

Gödel's Incompleteness Theorem

Any effectively generated theory capable of expressing elementary arithmetic cannot be both consistent and complete.

In particular, for any consistent, effectively generated formal theory that proves certain basic arithmetic truths, there is an arithmetical statement that is true,[1] but not provable in the theory (Kleene 1967, p. 250).

Gödel accomplished this by generalizing the liar’s paradox which is:

• This sentence is false.

Zeno’s third paradox - Linear motion is an illusion

If an arrow must be at a particular place at each instant of time, when does it move from one position to another? • Answer, it doesn’t. • It disappears from space time then re appears

one Plank length and one Plank time from its previous position

• “Contrary to the evidence of our senses, the belief in plurality and change is mistaken, and in particular that motion is nothing but an illusion.”

• The ideas of Plank length and Plank time in modern physics place a limit on the measurement of time and space, if not on time and space themselves.

• The illusion of motion is made up of discrete frames of what could be described as a 4 Dimensional film.

The Monster Group (a 196,883 Dimensional Snow Flake)

The Monster Group is a 196,883 Dimensional Snow Flake that is conjectured to underlie reality Richard Borcherds invented the notion of vertex algebras

• It turns out that lying behind monstrous moonshine is a certain string theory having the Monster group as symmetries;

• the conjectures made by Conway and Norton were proven by Richard Ewen Borcherds in 1992 using the no-ghost theorem from string theory and the theory of vertex operator algebras and generalized Kac-Moody superalgebras.

• Borcherds won the Fields medal for his work, and more connections between M and the j-function were subsequently discovered

• These were then used to construct an infinite-dimensional graded algebra acted on by the monster group.

• Borcherds used this, and methods from string theory, to prove the monstorous moonshine conjecture

• This enabled a great increase in understanding of the monster group and tied the monster to various aspects of mathematics and mathematical physics.

The Monster exists in 196,883 dimensions • This means that reality may be far more complex than our current thinking. • Borcherds is currently attempting to construct quantum field theory in a mathematically rigorous

manner.

Wheeler's Classic Delayed Choice Experiment

• So it seems that time has nothing to do with effects of quantum mechanics.

• http://www.bottomlayer.com/bottom/basic_delayed_choice.htm

• http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheeler%27s_delayed_choice_experiment

• Yet, it seems paradoxically that our later choice of how to obtain this information determines which side of the galaxy the light passed, so to speak, billions of years ago

Order Found Associated with Prime Numbers

• Riemann Hypothesis: all non-trivial zeros of the zeta function lie on the line 1/2 + it as t ranges over the real numbers.

• Zeta Function non trivial zeros can be used to predict the location of adjacent prime numbers

• Riemann predicted that all of these zeros are on the line x = ½ on the W plane.

• Ten Trillion 10,000,000,000,000 Zeros checked by 2006 and they were all on this line.

• 1 $M prize to the first person who can provide an inductive proof that all the non trivial zeros are on this line.

Tau and Life

Tau ( the Golden Section) is the simplest continued fraction and astonishingly enough, it seems to be intimately associated with life. This would suggest that it existed before humans and imply that the Platonic World informs us and is therefore real. Please note the very angry rebuttals of this idea in the links below.

Inhabitants of Plato’s World of Forms

Delayed Double Slit Experiment • An act of observation can change something that happened billions of

years ago. The Monster Group • The last of the simple groups seems to be integrated into the very basis of

our reality Tau • The golden section seems to be linked in a limited way to living systems Zeno’s third paradox • Moving objects are somehow not in our reality • The Universe is analogous to a 4D motion picture Susskind / t’ Hooft • All information is on the event horizon of a Rima Atram Mater The Mandelbrot Set • More complicated than the Monster Group?

Whither Research

• Leonard Susskind and Gerard t’Hooft hold that All information in the Universe exists on the surface of an Ultimate Black Hole

• Gödel's Incompleteness Theorem • Zeno’s third paradox - Linear motion is an illusion • Point of view of oriental philosophy - Linear motion is an illusion • Tau • Russell’s paradox • Monstrous Moonshine • The Mandelbrot Set • Inter Galactic Double Slit Experiment • What is the processes on this surface which give rise to our laws of physics • If we are just on a surface and the universe, as seen, is just a manifestation

of thought, why can’t thought reset system parameters to place a vehicle at a new position as in the machinations of the Navigators in the Dune trilogy?

Is the Platonic World Real?

• Hopefully these ideas have given you pause

• Hopefully you will look into these ideas and join in opening research up to discovery in addition to the usual careers.

• A substantial fraction of the science budget should go to funding research in these astonishing areas. Standard science will not do it.
