Einstein's Conjecture

Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity described a world based on space and time. His theory described a coordinate system based on frame of reference. Everyone is bound by their 4-dimensional coordinate (x,y,z and t) and two person is 'separated' because they are moving on their own frame. One frame is moving relative to the other frame. This theory has become principle, though it is somehow common sense, and all things are governs by this principle.

Although Einstein indicated that the coordinate system does not make any sense in space, his frame-based coordinate system still requires and still uses the 4-dimensional coordinate. His 'world' perhaps is acceptably comprehensible when one view it in some degree of closeness to the actual events on earth; I imagine a world there there is no dimensions, there is no sense of time, and therefore there is no sense of x, y and x. I imagine a world where the coordinate systems are bound by the limit of contents of energy one is carrying. Just like an electron, who exist at a level defined by its energy. Shall we need a frame of reference for this world?

So far, Einstein's conjecture about the the law that govern the world that could not be governed by Netwton's law, is acceptable generally. It importance is still manifested until today.

Is it possible to have a world that does not have a sense of space and time? Not many may agree with me, but I say it is possible.

Is there any meaning of the word 'End'?

Human was once thought that they are living in a very special place, on a great wide plane that they called earth. They can't comprehend the reason of existence of many living things, and therefore, they conclude that the earth must be a magical place and a very special place. The earth must be the center of everything; heaven and beyond. That large object called sun must be the one that help keep up the beauty of earth, and it has to submit to the laws and rules of the earth.

This belief has become a religion; so much so that discussions not inline with the 'earth is the center' is so absurd, one bears a sign of an eternal sinner.

At the age where calculation and thought does not work along very well, observation is important. Flat earth is accepted at that time because there is no way one can tell that the earth is not 'not flat'. It seems like the thought is just up to 'that point' only. No one can think beyond the 'flat' earth and try investigate the possibility 'not flat' universe.

False Arguments

I was in some discussion with some guy the other day. We were talking about several things, particularly in religious things. At one point, we were disagreeing each other about something.

We were disagreeing each other on the matter of the existence of the Atomic Bomb. He said that the existence of the atomic bomb was in the moslem holy book. I disagree. Not even Albert Einstein, at the time he conclude his equation to E=MC^2 knows that an atomic bomb will be created. It is somebody else came up with the idea of harvesting the energy of the rest mass of an atom. I added, A.E. is not even a moslem.

He said, how do I know if A.E. did not read the holy book before he come up the the equation. He could have read them. I said, what for. Reading scientific papers is more useful than reading the holy book when comes to scientific research.

He argued that the holy book was created 1600 years ago, and A.E. came up with the equation in the early 1900. Since the holy book 'mentioned' about the atomic bomb earlier than A.E., and then confirmed later when the atomic bomb was truly created, it makes the holy book truly true. Well, I don't have any problem and I don't have any arguments about how true the holy book is. I just wonder if his claim about the atomic bomb mentioned in the holy book is true, or perhaps, was the holy book talking about an atomic bomb or something else? Human are good in exaggerating things I suppose.

Then I think, it is useless arguing with these kind of people. He does not know anything about history of science and mathematics. He argues just to win. Not knowing that he is exposing his 'less knowledgeable-ness' to the other party. Dumber will of course believe. What is better than a good piece of assumption?

Perhaps, I can get along well with humble people. People who admit not knowing when they don't know. I lost respect to people who pretend knowing just because of trying to save face.

Whats Sharper Than A Sword?

Think about it, is there any other metal on earth that is sharper than the sharpest cutting tools? Is a steel knife sharper than a diamond? or a diamond sharper than the knife? Diamond can cut almost anything, but yet, it is shaped by a simple rotating stone. Even the sharpest knife needs a stone to make it sharp again. Which mean, stone is much sharper than the diamond and knife. I mean everybody knows how a knife can get sharpened by the stone. Its common sense. And we need the sharpest tools on earth to shape, to cut, to construct....

Think about humanity. The world. What shapes humanity. What shapes civilization. Humanity is intangible. Nobody knows it it is hard or soft. It is my conjecture that humanity and civilization did not shape itself automatically as time progresses. What element on earth that is stronger than diamonds, knives or stones?

I believe that humanity and civilization is shaped by PROBLEM. Human are this way because of certain problems human race encountered in the past. Think about it. Will we think of car if we don't bother about speed? and will we think of speed if we don't bother about time? Will be try make sense of time if we don't bother about distance? and will we think about distance if we don't bother about being somewhere?

I believe, we are just some remnant of the past problems. We got through, and we ourself, will solve problems for the next human race to enjoy the solution. It will never stop. We are not destined to enjoy the world! we are destined to have a PROBLEM! anything wrong with that? None at all!
