Everything that we do today is a result of the cause and effect structure of the exact actions that took place then, much like you can say where a baseball will land if you know the wind, how fast it will be going, the angle, etc.<br /><br />Since in some way or another, sentience is the effect of the physical form of nervous tissue, every choice or idea we make is set as a reaction to... you get the point right?<br /><br />The issue is that the human brain is so utterly complex, that any attempt to translate physcial reactions/movements would fail, because even if we say "X atom of Y molucule of Z cell did This, then that", we have no idea of what that "this" and "that" actually effects.<br /><br />It's like jenga, only on a much, much, much larger scale.<br /><br />Imagine ever grain of sand in the sahera desert was organized so it forms a rectangle X paricles wide, Y long, and Z tall.<br /><br />Then, the whole thing moves at (functional, in terms of what we can measure)once. Every grain.<br /><br />How can we know what grain caused the entire reaction?<br /><br />...Oh wow.<br /><br />Despite the above idea being really ovbious and logical, i've never really thought about it before.<br /><br />But who knows, perhaps we are wrong.<br /><br />Maybe conscious operates on such a small scale it defies sense and logic, like how subatomic particles can be at two places at once.MajoraZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15208210992789611913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328971915274008722.post-9745753454812538542011-12-23T13:11:56.238-06:002011-12-23T13:11:56.238-06:00I'll go to your EDIT first, as it's the sh...I'll go to your EDIT first, as it's the shorter answer. Yes, exactly. The movement and expansion that we see is the force of Time at work. <br /><br />Now, on to the bigger portion. Well, the point I was trying to get across wasn't necessarily predicting far away planets, but our own actions as human beings and the course we will take. If we can correctly measure how our molecules will act and react in the future, we can predict everything we will do. That's why I put in the molecules>cells>tissue>brain, etc. Time also dictates the signals we send in our brain to the rest of our body. It dictates it because time dictates everything on both a bigger, and a smaller scale, whether it be each individual molecule or the planet on which we reside. In other words, where the planets and the stars have their own trajectories through space, every molecule, including (& in particular) those that make up the human being, mind and body together, also have their own trajectories through space. That's what we can measure, and that's how we can predict out future.<br /><br />So if time dictates how our brains work, then it pretty much dictates everything we think or do, ever. Time tells us what we need, what we want, who we are, everything about everything is a slave to Time. I actually wrote both paragraphs at the same time, and the last bit of the paragraph above actually says what I was going to say here.Jakewhlr117https://www.blogger.com/profile/14586553871270547699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328971915274008722.post-18055814172553538462011-12-23T12:47:45.538-06:002011-12-23T12:47:45.538-06:00Also, in regards to:
"So here's the kick...Also, in regards to:<br /><br />"So here's the kicker, if this is how time works, why can't we do the same thing with literally every body of mass in the universe? ... Anything and everything anyone or anything that has ever happened or ever WILL happen can be predicted through probability."<br /><br />We CAN predict that, more or less. The issue is that we can only measure what we can identify (see, hear, feel, etc), or indirectly so by measuring something around it.<br /><br />So we can't measure anything beyond the visble portion of universe, nor perdict anything past that (Well, we can, kinda, by measuring the changes of objects really far away since we are looking into the past that way, but we are so short lived in the cosmic scheme of things that it's not really an option).<br /><br />That, and the actions of sentient entities are unpredictable down to a certain point due to not understanding the exact mechanics by which "sentience" itself works.<br /><br /><br />EDIT:<br /><br />Right, like how the "raisin bread model" of space works: the "rasins" shift based on the expansion of the "bread".<br /><br />But was my understanding that "Time" is the movement/expansion of the universe correct?MajoraZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15208210992789611913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328971915274008722.post-55037888315974915592011-12-23T12:38:17.538-06:002011-12-23T12:38:17.538-06:00I would reword it like this: The Time Wave moves a...I would reword it like this: The Time Wave moves all bodies of mass within space. The distance it takes for the wave to stop is measured as 1 Time. <br /><br />Yes, when the wave finally slows to a stop and the universe that has been made stops expanding, it could be theorized that gravity will pull everything back in, possibly reversing time.<br /><br />It's so wonderful and amazing. I can't help but wonder the possibilities. How many times have there been? How many times have I existed?Jakewhlr117https://www.blogger.com/profile/14586553871270547699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328971915274008722.post-46784954670852172032011-12-23T12:35:32.362-06:002011-12-23T12:35:32.362-06:00So....
