Hi, I'm a metaphysicist, you can call me C.
In my last video, "The Engine or Reality" I claimed the expansion of the universe is a trick of our perception, mostly because I have reasons to believe the foundation of the universe is static since it doesn't gain or lose anything, that claim is supported by mass-energy equivalence. In my theory, our perception exclusively gains and loses sensations as we're pushed through time. Our perception is expanding and changing, not the Universe.
How does that work? In my theory, time has a force behind it. All heat and motion are generated by two primordial forces; an active force (similar to electricity), which reacts with a resisting force (similar to solid objects) and they create a third reaction, which is electromagnetism. We exist within the third reaction.
The third reaction can be thought of as infinite energy, and it finds paths of least resistance. Order is predetermined thanks to the resisting force that holds an infinite dataset of all possible realities. The third reaction generates heat and it lights up all the possible paths, it also activates our central nervous system, which bounces energy back and forth between our brain and our bodily senses. That feedback loop quantizes (or breaks the energy into measurable pieces) so we can comprehend it. That feedback loop also causes the illusion of time. I call it an illusion because the source of this information isn't moving.
Our entire life is a flow of energy through a predetermined pathway, and I say it's predetermined because the future has to be orderly for us to perceive it. Can you perceive something that has no order at the atomic level? If you can, I would love to see proof of it. Otherwise, No, something has to be orderly for our consciousness to perceive it, and the mechanism of our perception quantizes this orderly energy into something we can comprehend. We are moving energy, but the foundation of reality is not moving.
How does that work? Remember, even when we're standing still, our consciousness is still moving forward. If we could step outside of our consciousness, and remove the blinders of our perception, allowing us to watch how energy flows through our brain, body, and environment, what would that look like? I call it the Stop-Motion Phenomenon. To understand what that flow might look like, you need a basic understanding of how stop-motion animation works. Imagine you're holding a flip book with a collection of images of a stick man waving at you. Each page of the cartoon depicts the stick man in a slightly different position in a storyline.
When you quickly view these images by flipping through the pages, the stick man comes to life and looks like he's waving, but in reality, all the images are static. The illusion of motion is created by our eyes speedily looking through the static images in an orderly manner. The same thing is happening to us as we're pushed through time.
The feedback loop between our brain and bodily senses is constantly generating snapshots of entangled energy and saving them in our brain as neuronal connections (and all of that is predetermined too, the energy is simply heating up the path so we can perceive it). Our brain is designed to use energy to activate a complex 3D flip book, and the process itself keeps us moving forward through the storyline, which keeps us conscious.
The storyline is already written in the infinite dataset of reality, that's the resisting force, but we need the flip book of our perception to experience it. The only thing moving is the energy of our perception as it flows between past, present, and future positions, thus time truly is an illusion, just like the waving stick man. The stick man's story is real and cemented in the foundation of reality, but his motion is an illusion. It took me twenty years to understand that because my perception hides the mechanism from me, so don't be disappointed if it doesn't immediately make sense to you.
The Engine of Reality supplies the energy that brings our perception to life, and we can make choices in our predetermined storyline because all possible choices exist around us, but we can only perceive one path at a time. But, thanks to our large perception field, which lights up all the paths available to us, we can see into the future to a degree. Which allows us to slightly change our paths if want to.
For example, if I'm about to cross the road, and I see a big truck coming down the road towards me, I can choose not to step into the road and avoid a high resistance collision that will end my motion, or I could step into the road and experience a high resistance collision. Either way, each path is orderly, but one has less resistance, ensuring my energy keeps going.
My theory turns gravity into resistance at every scale. What we experience as gravity is our conscious motion slowing down in areas of higher order or areas of higher resistance. It works the same way for velocity and gravity when it comes to time-dilation.
To help me imagine the phenomenon, I like to think of our consciousness motion as a bolt of ethereal lightning flashing between the two opposing forces, and within that stroke of energy, our perceivable reality flashes into being -past, present, and future- all together at once. It's a massive reaction, as big as the forces that create it, thus it's infinite and I have to imagine it as a concept. Either way, it's Billions upon billions of years of history, playing out in that primordial lightning. The speed of the reaction is unknowable because it exists outside of time. No matter what it looks like, it sends energy searching for paths of least resistance and creates heat in the process, and that activates our consciousness and our reality, and we share that reality with billions of other conscious minds.
Areas of least resistance is where we thrive, which already implies we're driven by energy. If we jump on a rocket and accelerate ourselves close to the speed of light, time slows down for us because now we're on a path of high resistance. We're forcing our life energy (or our perception) to move through our predetermined storyline extremely fast. It's like forcing too much electricity along a thin wire. It's gonna heat it up and possibly destroy the path, then the energy flow stops. The same thing happens to our perception when we accelerate our bodies too fast. Our conscious flow hits higher resistance and slows down, which leads to time dilation. If we accelerate too much, our energy flow will stop because we'll hit too much resistance, or too many G-forces.
The same thing happens when we experience higher gravity, like close to the event horizon of a black hole. The intense gravity is accelerating the motion of our physical bodies, pulling our consciousness along with it, making it harder for our conscious motion to flow, causing time dilation. If we enter the black hole, we've reached our physical and mental limits and will likely be kill by the extreme resistance. Gravity exists because the resisting force doesn't move, it slows the flow of energy down or stops it completely. The order of reality keeps us on a path of least resistance, but that doesn't stop us from creating or choosing paths of higher resistance, like stepping in front of a speeding truck or riding a rocket into a black hole.
Another interesting fact that supports my theory is black holes are cold, but the area around the event horizon is extremely hot. The inner temperature of a black hole is calculated to be near absolute zero, implying the resistance is so high, that the active force can barely flow through it, thus time there is extremely slow. Another way to think about it is to imagine the black hole is the pinched end of a long invisible wire with a lot of electricity flowing through it. The wire is a predetermined path of least resistance until it reaches the pinched point where it gets smaller. The area right before the pinch, suddenly becomes high resistance and heats up because too much energy is trying to flow through it. Could the black holes in our universe be the pinched ends of connected wires that support our perceivable reality? That's fun to think about, but the heat mechanism behind it is what supports my Engine or Reality Theory. The rest is speculation.
My theory accounts for every known phenomenon in general relativity and quantum mechanics. It actually offers a better explanation of quantum mechanics, and I would love to talk to other physicists about it. You can read more about my theory on my blog page, wildbluequantum.com.
