Of Our Own Design

We live on 299792458 Meters Per Second Street. If we were allowed to cross the road, we would find ourselves in an entirely different neighborhood.

The speed of light is the asymptote that defines the border of our physical reality. Change the velocity of light and you change the relationship of mass and energy, altering the symmetry of time and space.

There is no limit on the velocity of light, but the speed of light is the limit of our physical reality. Infinite gradations of velocity are possible, and each change in speed changes the playing field of reality.

The entire infinite spectrum of differing velocities exists here and now. We only see the reality defined by our address at 299792458 Meters Per Second Street.

Tying together the ideas of physicist John Wheeler with the Chinese concept of chi.

In gravitons and photons, uncertainty is linked between time and energy flows. The larger the unit of time, the less significant the energy flow. But as the interval of time diminishes, the energy flow increases. At the subquantum level, the blink of a particle can transmit more energy than the particle can hold.

Spacetime is a pulsing foam of infinitesimal black and white holes, breathing energy into and out of this physical existence. On this foam our reality rides, in the half-shell of our belief systems and emotions.
