Light

 So, to begin with, there is no way for me, in an exhaustive way

to thoroughly elucidate the issue of light.  But to begin with 

light and gravity are the two attributes of physical reality,

by which we both " navigate " and begin to understand this

thing - called physical reality.  But clearly, because I used

the word elucidate in relation to light, by which I meant

" shed light on light ", it means that the notion of " light ",

goes beyond the notion of physical reality.


Don't you wish I would just get " straight " to the point?


I guess the point is there is a great deal to the subject.

It seems that Dr. Einstein spent a good deal of his

life muddling about with the subject.  I am pretty

sure that he had some intuitions about how there

must be some " fundamental " connection between

the two attributes mentioned.  To his great disappointment

I do not believe he was able to capture that connection in

a way the was entirely to his satisfaction, but I also feel

that some of his basic concepts related to this were 

" transmitted " or communicated to Dr. Bohm, in the

early 1950's, which Dr. Bohm, in turn attempted to convey.


But that is not the point to this.  The point that I am

trying to make is the connection we have to this notion

of light in our daily life, and perhaps to our lives which

we perceive existing beyond what we think of as " daily

life ".  However, no matter how you view the issue of

this notion of " light ", it is not a notion that you can

entirely ignore or dismiss.  


So, at the end of the day, obviously an important

point to all this, the light begins to fade or recede and

when that happens, we begin to change a bit, with

some " apprehensions " about what will happen to

us now.  Will that light return?  I think really for us

it is a very fundamental thing.  I think sometimes,

we might have more or less confidence about that.


But on some, really fundamental levels, light returns, 

I believe, as it always does, as it always has. 


And then, of course, there is why?

Puzzles

  It seems to me that one  activity which many people enjoy as well as participate in or engage with is puzzle solving.  Part of the enjoyment  in puzzle solving is the actual conclusion where all the pieces are in place. There is also a related area of culture like mystery novels and various kinds of mysteries in art and culture. The standard model in physics could also be viewed in that way. This may not be a particularly good analogy, but it seems like you could view all the problems in the world or at least most of the big ones as one giant puzzle.  And in this picture many people are working on arranging these pieces, trying to figure out the patterns which might suggest how to orient or position a given piece.  Sometimes we have more than one group or individuals which are trying to place  a particular piece into place, but it seems like these efforts often contradict  each other, creating sometimes a lot of frustrations, and other difficult...

Belief, faith, and meaning

  Well, these three concepts are obviously closely connected, but yet you can possibly make distinctions between them.  The first two are of course clearly related and you may even think of faith as a container for some beliefs.  The exact nature of what that container might be or how you might comprehend it, of course, is, kind of, what faith is all about. But talking about belief by itself, it seems pretty clear to me that what you actually do, at any given time is somehow connected to what you might believe, which is kind of handy and convenient, because you can, kind of, figure out , more or less , what you do believe by what you in fact do, and then, may have some clearer understandings about what you belief , which can also help you navigate some of the actions or activities you engage with. Without going to much more into the subject of  faith, then, it is clear that meaning has a lot to do with belief, on account of how we perceive things , will indeed effect...

Okay, on space and time

  Well, it's a lot easier to think about if you just call it a manifold, which is not exactly super simple, but makes it a little easier to think about in terms of how " real " it is. So, this is motivated by article which I did not read, about how real is space and time. In mathematics, of course, this stuff is really real, because without it you can get absolutely nowhere.  But , let us not get too hung up with the math. Now, on a day to day basis of course we have " time " or we don't have any " time ". So, I would have to imagine for your average person, it's pretty darnn real, as of course is space, because, we are always involved with translations, meaning going from one place to another, and also, we put other stuff in spaces.  Now whether you want to believe that the stuff, you are using to jam into the space, is also space, I figure, that's all up to you and what makes you most comfortable. So, I am not going to get into an extende...
