Clue 12 of 12 … The conclusions.

WHY A ROCK … A STAR ... A ROCK STAR … AND YOU ARE THE SAME THING BUT DIFFERENT 

This is a very short version.  A longer version, written for teens in simple language and with pictures is attached.

• Nearly 14 billion Earth Years ago an amazingly hot blob of Energy instantly expanded.  Today that is called The Big Bang.  It took at least 200,000 years for the ingredients to cool enough to form the first atoms.  Like all atoms, they were made up of even tinier thing.
  

• A controversial, but very popular, idea among scientists claims those tiniest things are made up of strings of Energy, and that Energy probably is in a form of Information that can be communicated.  
• The strings, according to this concept, create everything in our Universe.  They vibrate, and they make decisions to combine with other strings to build what we think of as mass (a grain of sand, a rock, or our Moon).  

• I hope I haven’t lost you already, but with new computers, telescopes, microscopes and other technologies the evolving picture of reality gets weirder.

• The tiny bits of Energy can make other things, like electricity, magnetism, light and other stuff that humans can sense.  The Energy also makes things we can’t sense, such as microwaves that cook food.

• Everything vibrates, producing waves of information.  For instance, high waves on Lake Michigan  probably mean a storm is near by.  A siren signals danger.  A plucked guitar string becomes part of a language we call music.  X-Ray devices translate waves that let you look into a body as if you were Superman.

• Some communicating waves combine or cooperate to build the bureaucracies that govern our bodies and our Universe.  A doctor told me the reason I was collapsing onto the floor when I stood up was that my nervous system (a bureaucracy) stopped communicating with my blood system (another bureaucracy).  The nerves were not telling the blood vessels in my legs to squeeze, so more blood would be forced up to my brain so I could function.  Eventually, communications were restored.  

• Meanwhile, photos of communication channels in a brain looks suspiciously like communications channels between galaxies in computer simulations. 

• There seems to be a chain of command.  For instance, in a woman’s womb ‘director’ stem cells tell ‘worker’ stem cells to build a developing baby’s ear or knee, etc.  
  

• Your bureaucracies were built following the same blueprints as mine.  Yours may tell you to speed through the yellow light at the same time as mine order the muscle system and my foot to hit the brake hard.
  

• Everything seems to communicate, making human-brain-like decisions.  Something in the atoms must be telling water ‘it is 32 degrees Fahrenheit and time to change to ice.’  We know how the chemistry works to make that happen, but we don’t know how the chemistry knows what to do.  Like the stuff mentioned above, there is cooperation going on among atoms and molecules, so there must be communication.  Another example, something tells a cell to attack an invading Covid or cancer cell.

• There probably is a cosmic language.  Or languages.  The idea of finding a Universal Rosetta Stone to help us translate the language(s) is appealing.  Creating the Electromagnetic Spectrum to measure, or detect, waves is a first step.  Those waves humans evolved to sense, like light, heat and sound are only a small part of the spectrum.  Other waves are colors, radio, and ultraviolet. 

• Because humans evolved to understand only a little bit of what is going on around us, our understanding of life, bodies, and the Universe must be different than birds that can see ultraviolet waves, or use the magnetic waves around our globe as an avian GPS while migrating.  Trees can communicate and nurture other trees.  Flowers follow the sun and must have something like a brain.  It would be nice to be able to know what they think. 

• I hope teens will eventually find a form of a Cosmic Rosetta Stone that will help us understand the languages of the Universe.  (The Rosetta Stone was found near Egypt’s city of Rosetta.  It had the same propaganda message about an ancient pharaoh carved in different languages.  One was Hieroglyphics, a dead language that no one living human could interpret.  Another was Greek.  By matching the two, someone figured out how to read the obsolete Egyptian language.)

Two final thoughts.

• Many scientific studies are ‘proved’ by using the oddly constructed language of Mathematics and equations, where each side of the = or Equal Sign cancels out the other and the answer is 0 … zero.  Maybe that’s why people who believe in one theory assume other theories don’t add up.  Yet, nobody has shown that Albert Einstein’s E = mc2 is wrong.  It says Energy equals Mass … they are the same thing.  Go figure! 

• Because I believe youth will figure out what we are missing … and to encourage them to do so … I have written, in language an eighth grader could understand, the following that provides more details.  It is fully illustrated and titled: THE SEARCH FOR ALBERT EINSTEIN’S TOE …THE LANGUAGES OF THE UNIVERSE …AND A UNIVERSAL ROSETTA STONE.

It is a challenge for teenagers.

Your decisions vs. mine.

Clue 11 of 12. 

Think of approaching a stoplight as it is turns from green tocyellow. You are driving a car in the lane next to mine at the same speed. We get identical information.  I decide to stop. You speed past the light before it turns red.c

We have the same information, but our brains and the bureaucracies that feed information to the brains tell us to react differently.  

I remind you that ouc optical and auditory systems (and all the other body systems) work just like bureaucracies.  They send only the most important messages to the brain for operating decisions.

Interestingly, the atoms that cooperate with other atoms to form brains, cars, and super-hot stars are built by the same itty-bitty things that build human bodies.  They are arranged differently … and different arrangements produce different decisions.

They cooperate, so they must communicate.  But How?

Tomorrow.  My thoughts.  They may be different than yours.

It still is the same thing but different

How does it remain the same thing but different?

Clue 10 of 12.

About 45 years ago I wrote a report and organized hearings for The US Senate Foreign Relations Committee titled, ‘The New World Information Order.’  If you have been following my recent online posts, it is obvious I have begun thinking about ‘The Cosmic Information Order.’  

Clearly, gazillions of brain-like decisions are being made everywhere in an almost logical pattern.   

For instance, on Earth, water, clouds, ice, sleet, and billowing steam from a teapot, are different forms of the same thing at various temperatures.  

What kind of communications between the atoms tells them to take a different shape?  

How do they get the message that ‘It is 32 degrees Fahrenheit now, time to change your outfit.’

Tomorrow.  Two human brains, built with the same materials and blueprint get the same information but make different decisions.

A different Rosetta Stone?

A different Rosetta Stone?

Clue 9 of 12.

In 1799, near the Egyptian city named Rosetta, soldiers found a large stone.  Carved onto it were three messages.  Two in forms of Greek and one in Hieroglyphics, a forgotten Egyptian language using pictures and symbols.

After the Greek was translated, someone figured out that the hieroglyphics said the same thing.  This was the first step in re-learning the ancient language.  (The messages turned out to be propaganda promoting a pharaoh (king) who was losing popularity.)

Is the Electromagnetic Spectrum that identified waves carrying information a cosmic Rosetta Stone?  If so, is it a language in the blueprints to build humans, maybe one our cells understand? 

We have begun to break the code (radio, X-Rays, music and colors).  

If broken, will we learn everything about everything?  Should we?

A bit more tomorrow.

life is a wave, catch it

What’s in a wave?  As the surfer said, ‘Life is a wave.  Catch it.’

Of course it sounds silly … that everything is made up of waves or that waves are full of information. 

Even rocks.  To humans they are very tightly packed waves.  To an atom, a rock probably is like living in a towering apartment building.

We evolved to understand the messages in a few of the waves.  Rough seas often means a storm nearby.  Sirens means danger.  Plucked guitar strings are music.  Rainbows are colors.  

Humans are beginning to build translators.  My favorite today is the X-Ray machine that lets us see like Superman.

It appears that everything is made up of Energy and Energy is Information.  What the hell does that mean?

Universal building blocks?

poor georgie’s almanack

This is the eighth of 12 clues for solving a puzzle.  A BIG puzzle.

Common wisdom in the science community is that everything in our body and everything in our universe arose nearly 14 billion years ago in the very hot mili-second that started The Big Bang. 

That event produced a vast amount of Energy.  The Energy, in turn, produced what we perceive as mass and space.  

A newly-researched idea is that everything in our bodies and all the bodies of the Universe is made of the very small “things” that popped into existence that moment.  These little somethings are units of Energy and/or Information.  They almost like LEGO bricks.  When those things are combined one way, they make a brain ... another way, a building ... or a blazing star named Betelgeuse.

And, as noted in the last week’s poor georgie’s posts, everything communicates.

Is there a common language or blueprint of the Universe we don’t know how to hear or read?

More tomorrow … "Musing about a Universal Rosetta Stone."

The Ups and Downs of Cosmic Communications

Introducing the idea of living and cosmic bureaucracies

It sure looks like our bodies, all animal activities on Earth, and even gigantic galaxies like our Milky Way, are run by bureaucracies.  Everything.

For example, the odd little things in atoms, called Quarks, are organized to decide what kind of particle they will build.  In animals, the atoms build cells, which build molecules, which build systems … like the blood or nerve systems.  

The systems usually work quietly running our bodies.  They make a million little decisions a minute.  Sometimes the brain makes final big decisions.  

Thus, just like our optic systems, there is more to everything than meets the eye.  

To be continued tomorrow.

it thinks, therefore it is?

 poor georgie’s almanack

Maybe every living thing thinks.  Cells in our bodies do communicate with other cells.  (Hey guys, We gotta kill that cancer cell over there.)  Trees communicate with other trees (really).  Sunflowers know to tilt to the moving sun.  Fish, Gnus, and starlings swarm together to intimidate attackers.  How do they communicate?

What we see is not what they get

poor georgie's almanack

What we think is our universe, or our world, is based on what humans evolved to sense.  

Birds evolved differently.  Some, if not all, migrating birds use the magnetic waves around the Earth as a GPS.  No monthly fee.

Their description of the Earth and sky would be different than ours.  This picture is an artist’s concept of what the night sky might look (or be sensed by) a migrating bird.  It shows magnetic waves around the planet Jupiter… much bigger than our Moon.  Humans eyes and brains only sense the Moon from the Sun's light waves bouncing off of it.  

And chickens can see the same light waves we see, but also ultraviolet light waves, which help them find bugs to eat.  Maybe that's why we don't eat bugs.

your energy matters

 

poor georgie’s almanack

Some serious researchers say ‘Energy’ and ‘Information’ are equivalent.  If so … Einstein’s equation should be E/I=Mc2.  

EVERYTHING humans perceive as mass (a body or brick) is a bundle of energy?  Needs more research, but what if it is true?  

More tomorrow.

brains governed by bureaucracies?

I assembled a jigsaw puzzle of what science thinks it has found.  It looks to me like our cells, our brains, our galaxy and our universe are governed by bureaucracies.  This should be researched.  More tomorrow.
