SPACE And TIME Don't Actually Exist ? Is It Just Illusion Or...

  

    Here's Why Scientists Reveal?

Hello friends,  Imagine that you  are  sitting on a bench in a park. And then a blind man sitting next to you asks you that weather  is very pleasant. Can  you  describe    weather  for me? What  is  the  weather like outside? Now you say, okay, I will try.

So, it's evening, the sky is orange, in which the  clouds  are  visible  like  cotton. At  this point, the man stops you quickly  and  asks you, what does orange mean? And then you get this click that he is  blind  from  birth, so he  may   not   even  know  the  meaning  of orange.

Still,  you  try  to  explain that orange is a warm color, like fire is warm, sort o f the same kind of color. With this, he again asks you a question, but according to me, orange is the name of a fruit, right? And it is not hot. So, which orange are you talking about?

Now I know, our audience can use atoms and frequency to explain it in detail. But it will be even more difficult to explain it like this because he has never felt an atom or frequency. And that's why you finally get tired and ask, what image is forming in your mind? And that guy replies, nothing.

And you get shocked to hear this because when you or I close our eyes, we don't see nothing. We see the image of whatever we think, right? Now, here is what I am trying to say. Look, you and that man are both humans. But just because there is no sensory organ, the reality of the universe always feels completely different for him.

He sees things from someone else's perspective, and we from someone else's. In short, reality is subjective, and you know this too. But just because there is no sense, it can be so different. And the same thing happens in the perception of space and time. That is, the concept of space is different for everyone.

And on this, do you know, there is an unsettled debate going on for thousands of years? On one hand, there is absolutism, which says that space and time are fixed. And on the other hand, there is relationalism, which says that space and time differ from person to person.

So now friends, here comes an interesting question. Which of these two perspectives, which of these two philosophies, is practical, realistic, and which fits properly in the entire picture of the world? Well, if you have the answer to this, then write it in the comments below. And if not, let's investigate.

So well guys, the scenario is something like this, that the philosophical and scientific community was already divided into two parts. The supporters of absolutism said that every object of the universe, including space and time, is real. And there is one thing for everyone.

For example, colors. We see colors as one thing. For example, if I see this color blue, then you will also see this color blue. But you know what? This is not the case. Out of the 100,000 people in the world, every person will see this color yellow. And in fact, out of every 12 people, due to color blindness, some colors will look different in your comparison. Meaning, they see reality differently from your reality.

By the way, relationalism fits perfectly with perspective. Now, the colors that are born from light are also a spatial entity. And that is why relationalism says that the ultimate space and time are also different for everyone. Because it is also unique for every individual, independent, unique observer, as it depends on their unique perspectives.

Now, the philosopher and mathematician of the 16th century, Rene Descartes, was a big supporter of absolutism. Because he believed that reality can be understood through math. He considered the universe as a 3D graph and plotted the different objects in nature on this 3D graph.

Now, because all these things were being plotted on the graph without disrupting the rules of the universe, Rene Descartes concluded that the universe and the space in it are both absolute. And from this, absolutism came into the limelight.

This belief got even more forward push when Newton used Descartes' coordinates to derive his laws of motion theory and proved that time is also absolute along with space. Actually, Newton said that all the objects in the 3D space, no matter in which direction they move, time does not move according to them. It will always move unidirectionally and at a fixed speed.

If I explain it in simple language, it is said that time does not stop for anyone. Now, this thought went on for many years about space and time. But then, Newton took a little trouble here. He invented calculus and raised questions on absolutism.

Actually, Newton's calculus, which he is known for inventing, was actually invented by German polymath Gottfried Leibniz. But because Newton was a well-known mathematician and physicist of that time, Newton lost a lot of credit for it. So, to counter Newton, Leibniz supported the opposite concept of absolutism, relationalism, and presented a theory that later inspired Einstein.

So, what exactly did Leibniz say? Leibniz believed that space is a property of particles and is dependent on particles called space monads. For easy understanding, assume these are some particles. Newton said that these particles are in space and their position in space can be told by making an origin and reference axis.

But Leibniz's perspective was that these particles have some properties like positive and negative charges, through which they attract or repel each other and decide the position of each other. Now, if we look at it, it will seem that these particles exist in space, but in reality, these particles interact with each other and that's why space exists.

But no one supported this idea because, in the 19th century, electromagnetic waves were discovered, which is a combination of electric and magnetic fields. Since these fields obviously travel through some medium like space, for some time, this concept of relationalism went back on its back foot.

However, at the beginning of the 20th century, Albert Einstein proved that space-time is a single entity that cannot exist without each other. Einstein's theory of relativity showed that space-time is relative and different for different observers.

Now, again, the grip of relationalism started to come back, and the foundation of Newton's absolute space-time started to break. But Einstein also used another concept in his theory of relativity, which was the concept of the gravitational field. Since a field requires a medium, space had to exist, landing Einstein’s relativity right in the middle of absolutism and relationalism.

This raised the question of whether space and time are real or unreal. The emergence theory suggests that the past and the future both exist together. Scientists in Los Angeles recently discovered that reality or space-time is just a part of our brain's perception.

Emergence theory suggests that our universe is a 3D projection of an 8-dimensional crystal, whose fundamental unit cell is a tetrahedron. The arrangement of these tetrahedrons forms fundamental particles and ultimately the entire universe. But what determines their different arrangements? The answer is our consciousness.

Quantum mechanics experiments, including quantum entanglement, further support this idea. The way particles collapse into a defined state upon observation suggests that reality emerges from our consciousness. This implies that reality is not absolute but relational.

To understand this further, a theory is needed that unifies Einstein's relativity and quantum mechanics, and emergence theory seems promising. Another perspective, the simulation theory, also suggests that space and time are not real but rather simulated.

Scientists have now fully simulated a helium atom, and in the future, they might be able to simulate entire objects or even the human brain, potentially proving that we exist in a simulated world.
