When I'm not thinking of you, I think about Quantum Theory, so here is the new introduction to an old chapter. Now that I have finished and set aside My Road for a moment, I am about to pick up NLC (A world in Amber) for a moment. This is only the first part of a longer chapter (the preceding chapter is "the very small" and this one is evolving even as the theory evolves.)
I am at 103 of 243 in editing which sounds good, but some of the most recent developments require me to go back 40 or 50 pages like this one.
THE VERY LARGE
Quantum Theory suggests if there is a minimum quanta for time (and
therefore a Planck length) that there should be a maximum size, which in this
case would be a maximum number of coordinates changing at once since “true”
dimension is an illusion. This means
there is a limit to the amount of information in the universe and that outside
of this total information there is no further universe.
While an intriguing model which deserves some discussion, in a timeless,
dimensionless singularity, it is difficult to impart the limitations of our
time sensitive world.
Time, while appearing absolutely necessary to us, is just one more
complication to a universe which is already too complicated to exist. One has to abandon all of ones learned
perspectives, all relativity of human observation, to even begin to grasp what
we are dealing with in NLC theory.
Fortunately, quantum phenomena are intuitive in a point universe
(everything comes from a single point, everything is tied to this quantum (1)
beginning (although it isn’t a beginning as such, only an existence of
everything at once).
This minimum quantum (1) does not require a maximum but if there
is a limit to the amount of information in the universe, then there should be a
maximum clock time, a maximum number of coordinates that can change at once,
and that in turn suggests a limit to the distances (even if they are just
illusions) that can be experienced as well as an end to the universe.
Unlike other theories, the end of the NLC universe is not some
tragic even, because the quiet moment you read this chapter, continues to exist
not with standing the last clock time transition which would, if we were large
enough to see it, be nothing more than a super duper black hole within which
all the other black holes, and clock time states exist. Amusingly, this suggests the singularity
itself meaning that once you get large enough you are back to the
singularlity. While mind numbing, it is
actually very obvious. The maximum
number of coordinate that can change at once is necessarily the total amount of
information in the singularity!
There may be some practical limitation on this bizarre concept,
but it is so intuitive and obvious, it is such an elegant explanation, that it
has to be accepted as a theoretical possibility in a universe with a finite
amount of information.
