If the universe is held together by thoughts,
then is it possible to “out think” the universe?
The universe is made up of matter, and
matter is made up of atoms. Atoms are pesky little creatures which are too
small to see and are largely made up of empty space. In other words, the
universe is not very dense to begin with. Then pieces of this universe keep
disappearing for no good reason. The electrons surrounding the nucleus of the
atom are particularly annoying. They move so fast, and in such an unpredictable
pattern, that they can not be calculated to exist. Anything which has the
decency to exist can be calculated out to be in a particular place at a certain
time and what its velocity is at that time. Not electrons, they move so fast
that one can only calculate the velocity or the location, but not both at the
same time. Then, just to be annoying, they blink out of existence for a few
fractions of a second. Then they might show up again in another atom. Almost as
though there are not enough electrons to go around in all the dimensions and
they must be shared. While they are gone, the world keeps turning and that
could account for the electrons becoming part of another atom upon return.
This makes the universe not seem like a
very stable place. So what is holding the universe together? Duct tape and a
dream? Since light can be both a particle and a wave, can it not be that the
universe is held together by thoughts. This line of question leads to a bigger
problem. Are some thoughts bigger or stronger than others? If there are such
stronger thoughts then what makes those thoughts strong? Is the will of the
person taken into effect? Are all stories of magic and fantastic events simply
the result of one person’s strong thoughts?
Perhaps this is why philosophers so
strongly argue for the idea of the theater of the mind. There are so many
dimensions due to infinite possibilities of course there is not enough matter
to go around, with an infinite amount of dimensions and a finite amount of
matter.
This leads to my idea of out thinking the
universe by creating too many dimensions and completely over stretching the
already stretched matter. This would cause the electrons to not be able to keep
up with being everywhere at once and forcing the universe to collapse. Similar
to inverting a bag of holding, but using a philosopher’s methodology.
