The Disproof (and proof) of Everything
|
|
|
|
Since the beginning of time, men (I'm speaking of the human race, this
|
|
is not sexist in anyway because women are included in this too) have
|
|
pondered our existence and purpose, as well as the nature of the world we
|
|
live in. This is perhaps the single most time consuming thought we ever
|
|
have for most people live their entire lifetimes without finding the answer
|
|
or even coming close to one. I myself have pondered this question for most
|
|
of my life, until recently when I used some odd (but logical) logic to come
|
|
up with a strange conclusion: Nothing exists, and everything exists, for
|
|
everything is possible all at the same time.
|
|
|
|
Now, by now the reader of this paper is thinking "How is this
|
|
possible?" or "This guy should be locked up!". Therefore, I plan to explain
|
|
how I reached this conclusion in this paper. However, I must give fair
|
|
warning, that some of the logic I used is strange and complex. If you have
|
|
any doubts about your mental health, or are unsure of your capacities and
|
|
limitations in any way, please do not read this, or at least do not take it
|
|
seriously. For those of you who feel you can handle this, read on. Now, let
|
|
us start at the most logical place to begin, the beginning.
|
|
|
|
What is reality?
|
|
|
|
Well, there are many explanations and theories about this, but I based
|
|
mine on what I can observe and how I perceive things as a whole. Reality,
|
|
as we know it seems to be made up of various dimensions. Most people will
|
|
say reality is three dimensional, but it's really more than that. Time is
|
|
often considered a fourth dimension, and some people say that there are at
|
|
least eight known dimensions, possibly as many as thirty. However, it will
|
|
be easier to start with dimensions from the ground up. Let us start with
|
|
zero dimensions. A zero dimensional reality is a point. It does not extend
|
|
in any direction, it is one point, there are no alternatives at all. This
|
|
is the only type of reality in which a "fact" as we know it really exists.
|
|
It either is or it isn't. Now, try to imagine a line. Well, there are
|
|
several types of lines. There are infinite lines, which extend in both
|
|
directions forever, and lines with one limit, and lines with two limits.
|
|
Infinity with limits is still infinity. Suppose the line is limited, and is
|
|
a certain length, not extending forever. This is a one dimensional reality,
|
|
you can go one way, or the other. Now, how many points (zero dimensional
|
|
realities) are on the line? Infinite. No matter how short the line is,
|
|
there's always an infinite number of points. Ok, now on to two dimensions.
|
|
Two dimensional realities are planes. They're flat level surfaces. How many
|
|
lines are on a plane? Infinite. So, a two dimensional reality is infinity
|
|
squared zero dimensional realities. Likewise, three dimensions is an
|
|
infinite number of planes, and four is an infinite number of three
|
|
dimensional realities. Therefore, there are somewhere between infinity to
|
|
the 8th and infinity to the 30th zero dimensional realities in our
|
|
universe.
|
|
|
|
What is infinity good for?
|
|
|
|
Now that is a good question. What does a universe do with infinite
|
|
realities? It fills them up. Now, this means to fill up infinite realities,
|
|
you must have infinite possibilities. So, there are an infinite number of
|
|
realities in which an event happens, and an infinite number in which it
|
|
doesn't happen. This is true of every event. The reason we don't perceive
|
|
it this way, is because our perception is limited. For instance, we do not
|
|
perceive time as a dimension like height and length and width. This is
|
|
because we are moving along time in one direction, and cannot sense changes
|
|
in it. Therefore, events do not just happen for one instant, we only
|
|
perceive them for one instant as we move along the positive time axis.
|
|
Therefore everything that ever happened, and everything that will still
|
|
exists, we just don't see it. So, one can conclude that it is reasonable
|
|
that we may jump from one reality to another as we move along time.
|
|
Therefore, nothing is a fact, whether it has happened, is happening, or
|
|
will happen. Everything is just an expression of probability with no one or
|
|
zero value. So, there is such a thing as infinite improbability, and
|
|
infinite probability. But not definite probability and definite
|
|
improbability. So, the probability of an event occurring is 1/infinity to
|
|
1-1/infinity.
|
|
|
|
What does infinite improbability and infinite probability imply?
|
|
|
|
Well, infinite improbability and infinite probability are found when
|
|
infinite possibilities are present. If I toss a six sided standard die in
|
|
the air, what is the probability that it will come up with six dots on top?
|
|
Well, most people will immediately say 1/6. This is not true. Why? Because
|
|
when you calculate probability as we are taught, we immediately rule out
|
|
the improbable, but not impossible outcomes. It is possible that the die
|
|
will be destroyed by say a laser before it lands, or a meteor may pass by
|
|
the earth and disrupt gravity, causing the die to fly into orbit, or the
|
|
laws of physics may change for an instant causing who knows what to happen.
|
|
The point is, there are an infinite number of things that could possibly
|
|
happen, and therefore an probability and improbability factor which
|
|
includes improbability and probability factors from other events happening.
|
|
Therefore something can be improbable but not impossible. This may help to
|
|
explain quantum physics, where things behave in strange ways they should
|
|
not, at least not by the laws of physics as we know them. It may be, that
|
|
when examining things on the quantum scale, we are actually observing the
|
|
behavior of particles as we shift from one reality to another where the
|
|
laws of physics are slightly different in each. Therefore, nothing has to
|
|
behave the same way all the time. As soon as you're not watching it, it
|
|
could do something entirely different.
|
|
|
|
What about all those theories and formulas people have come up with?
|
|
|
|
Well, when someone creates a theory or formula to explain something,
|
|
they're giving you something that gives an approximate description of that
|
|
event. Theories and formulas are never 100% perfect. For example, if you
|
|
graph the behavior of an object as it moves, and you write an equation to
|
|
explain the graph that you see, you do not take into account behavior
|
|
outside that range of the graph. There may be subtle changes that would
|
|
wreak havoc with your equations if you only knew about them. But you don't.
|
|
Why? Because it's impossible to graph something for an infinite amount of
|
|
time with infinite detail. For example, Newton's theories are pretty good,
|
|
the held up when we went to the moon. However, over large (interstellar and
|
|
intergalactic) distances, they won't be perfect. Also, flaws in them become
|
|
more apparent as you approach the speed of light, and they're only
|
|
reasonably correct up to about 80% the speed of light. Einstein was even
|
|
closer. His theories on relativity are very precise, and they work well,
|
|
but they are still probably flawed at some point. Chaos theory may be even
|
|
closer, but since it is generated by people and machines made by people, it
|
|
won't be perfect. In short, our chaos is really too structured to explain
|
|
the structure of the universe, which is chaotic.
|
|
|
|
|
|
What about paradox?
|
|
|
|
Well, paradox deals with a conflict in events. For instance, it has
|
|
been theorized that time travel is possible. This presents the question of
|
|
"What if someone goes back and changes something?", and more importantly,
|
|
"What if they mess up and prevent their own birth? How will they ever
|
|
travel back in time to do it?". Well, this is the classic example of
|
|
paradox. Now, based on the model of reality described so far, how would we
|
|
explain what happens with a paradox. Well, if we constantly move along the
|
|
positive time axis, and there are an infinite number of divergences or
|
|
"forks in the road" for each event, then it is logical to assume that one
|
|
who goes back along the time axis and alters an event will follow a
|
|
different pathway then they did the first time around. Therefore, a paradox
|
|
will is not likely to destroy the universe, rather, you would find yourself
|
|
in a reality that changed from the point at which you altered it.
|
|
Therefore, this means reality can even loop back on itself, and still
|
|
function just fine. There would merely be another set of infinite realities
|
|
coexisting with the original set, with the defining event being your
|
|
alteration of another event.
|
|
|
|
How does all this apply to everyday life, and what does it all mean to us?
|
|
|
|
This is probably the most important question of all. What does it all
|
|
mean; how does it apply to me. Well, from what we have seen, our chaos is
|
|
too logical to explain the logic of a reality that is chaotic. Also,
|
|
nothing is impossible, some things are merely more improbable than others.
|
|
Therefore, reality is most likely going to be exactly as how you perceive
|
|
it. So, basically, nothing is definite at all. So, what should one do with
|
|
one's life in such a strange reality? Well, the only answer I could come up
|
|
with is: Whatever you want. It seems that the point of life is not to
|
|
understand your own life, or purpose, or the nature of things, it's to have
|
|
as much fun as you possibly can while you can still have it. Now, I know
|
|
somewhere out there, someone is thinking "Well what if I think it's fun to
|
|
go out and murder people or something?". Well, the answer to why people
|
|
don't do this, is simple, it's not fun. How so? Well, you must consider
|
|
tradeoffs. What's fun now usually doesn't lead to things that are much fun
|
|
later. For instance, if you kill someone, it may be fun, but I don't think
|
|
one would find imprisonment or a death penalty fun at all. It may be fun to
|
|
drop out of school and do whatever you want, but in a few years when you
|
|
can't get a job and don't have enough money to go anywhere or do anything,
|
|
you won't be so happy. Therefore, it is best to do what you like, but
|
|
consider the consequences and alternatives first. So, morals don't really
|
|
exist because people know the difference between right and wrong or because
|
|
some omnipotent creator dictated our lifestyle to us, but because the let
|
|
the most people enjoy themselves at one time. So, it's basically similar to
|
|
any animal's response to a positive stimulus, however our powers of
|
|
abstract concepts and reasoning, and critical thinking allow us to
|
|
determine what is fun now, and will still allow us to have fun later. So,
|
|
in the end, people will do what they like most, while still allowing others
|
|
to do what they like most, and eventually it all works out for the better.
|
|
At least, it has so far in this reality, but as we know, everything could
|
|
change in an instant, even though it's not likely. So, be grateful our
|
|
lives are as stable as they are and get what you can while you can still
|
|
get it because it may not be here tomorrow.
|
|
|
|
Well, up until now I had planned on making this thing anonymous, but
|
|
now that I think of it, I would kick myself if it ever got any recognition
|
|
at all, and I couldn't prove that I wrote it. So, I have decided to put my
|
|
name in it, and hope that nobody decides to alter it and reprint it. So,
|
|
for anyone interested, this paper was written by Toby Hudon, or, for anyone
|
|
who has a modem, General Lee D. Mented. I hope you had fun reading it,
|
|
cause it was sure fun writing it.
