Notes

         Up with the sun, fed the cat, policed the kitchen, picked up the papers, breakfast and the paper. Mid-morning and sunny but cold. Reminds you of Bolivian weather.

         Odd how the mind works sometimes. I remember though in La Paz and on the Altiplano the temperature would be dry and cold, then warm up, and when the sun went down, immediately cold again. Today reminds me of that. An odd thought like that then brings up a whole collage of experiences in the Andes and in the far American West too, Nevada and California west of the mountains. Similar weather at times. That reminds me of ice and what I was thinking about last night in terms of the book. The tree is thought and light but another characteristic would be ice, water, and steam. The human body (all bodies) would be as water and ice, semi-solid and in death, evaporation. Physical matter is as ice. Something along that line of reasoning. It fits with Thales anyway as he is noted for his characteristics of “Water”.

         I was conjuring up this tree model with tinker toys or something of the like, toothpicks maybe, and putting the ice analogy in there with it some way. I remember that in the book I used the concept of a comet seeding both ThreePlanets and Earth so the evolution of life would be similar. Example below:

12 February 2004,
 Comets May Spread Life From Earth Around the Galaxy, by Kate Melville.  “These ideas are discussed in detail in the current issue of the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.

The authors of the two papers are Professor Chandra Wickramasinghe and Dr Max Wallis, of the Cardiff Centre for Astrobiology, and Professor Bill Napier, an astronomer at Armagh Observatory.

Interstellar routes for transmission of micro-organisms supports the view that life may not have originated on Earth but arrived from elsewhere, strengthening “the panspermia theory" that Professor Wickramasinghe and the late Sir Fred Hoyle had been developing since 1974.

It is known that boulders and other debris may be thrown from the Earth into interplanetary space. Professor Napier finds that collisions with interplanetary dust will quickly erode the ejected boulders to much smaller fragments and that these tiny, life-bearing fragments may be driven out of the solar system by the pressure of sunlight in a few years.

The solar system could, therefore, be surrounded by an expanding 'biodisc', 30 or more light years across, of dormant microbes preserved inside tiny rock fragments. In the course of Earth history there may have been a few dozen close encounters with star-forming nebulae, during which microbes might be injected directly into young planetary systems.

If planets capable of sustaining life are sufficiently common in the Galaxy, the Cardiff based scientists conclude that this mechanism could have infected over 10,000 million of them during the lifetime of our Galaxy.

Dr Wallis and Professor Wickramasinghe have also identified another potential delivery route. They point out that fertile Earth ejecta would, on impact, bury themselves in the radiation-shielded surface layers of frozen comets. A belt of such comets, the Edgeworth-Kuiper belt, lies beyond the planetary system. This belt gradually leaks comets into interstellar space, some of which will eventually reach proto-planetary discs and star-forming nebulae. There they are destroyed by collisions and erosion, releasing any trapped micro-organisms and seeding the formative planetary systems.”  From: www.scienceagogo.com/news/20040111202038data_trunc_sys.shtml

         The point is that I have to come up with a reasonable hypothesis for the books as to how the ‘trunk’ of thought and light dwells root-wise to set up a metaphysical system or engine to encompass it. And, I have to find a way to encompass a similar panspermia theory that will allow a similar theory to traverse galaxies across the universe as was as some kind of theory from evolved ‘seeded’ life to move from universe to universe.

         If I use the tree model with an individual leaf as a universe this would work which means last night’s flurry of ‘stare at the ceiling from bed’ thoughts were for naught. It all seemed rather exciting last night, but alas with morning the excitement fades away into ‘just an idea’ and time to move on. The problem is that I still have to conjure up something with reason behind it.

         We can work this out. Take a break, orndorff. I will do something with what you already have here, if you also remember you thought about the Greek basics last night, Hot, Cold, Wet, Dry (from Anaximenes, a student of Thales) and Earth, Air, Fire and Water.  We need to keep it simple, like you thought, yet also encompass ideas of Quantum Mechanics by suggestion, especially entanglements, as, if you remember, you see in the tree limbs behind Christ’s College, Oxford. So, relax. It is a pleasant but cool Saturday morning. Fair skies. – Amorella.

         And that brings up one more thing I thought last night, New Moon in April -  when Ahab confronts Moby Dick; and also 23 April, the traditional birth date for Shakespeare. Now, that is all I thought.

         No one gives a ticker’s damn what you thought last night, orndorff. It is not important what you thought. If it fits with the books then it is important here. This is not a blog about your general thoughts, boy. Post this, then get a life, man. – Amorella.

         You and Carol took a picnic over to the banks of the Little Miami for some sun and relaxation. Presently, it is mid-afternoon and you are waiting in the Kroger’s lot on Tylersville while she shops for a few necessities.

         You are thinking a measurement of distance as far as this tree is concerned. We have been using a marker of three universes in terms of distance so why don’t we continue with that. Three out of how many universes, you wonder.

         I like Milton’s use of figures. Relative to whatever it is three times the distance. Very cool. No matter what you come up with it is three times that.

         Then you have to define a ‘universe’, something human beings don’t really have down in terms of size and certainly not shape.

         I like the universe somewhat like a disk, flatter on the top and bottom because of the spin. A Frisbee.

         I thought you wanted it like a leaf, attached to a branch of thought and light?

         Yes. I would rather have it that way, though I still think it would spin.

         Let’s keep this within the understanding of the ancient Greeks.

         Okay. Perhaps I am not concentrating enough here in the parking lot. Too many interruptions.

         Earth, air, fire, water, hot, dry, cold, wet. See if we can stick to those.

        What about parallel thoughts? One of the books used an analogy or metaphor with train tracks, a singular thought. And what about dimensions, that has been used too, especially with the twin Earth the marsupials visited. Earth 1987 or 88 was definitely not the Earth of 2001, and this was just within the Milky Way galaxy.

         You are home. Let’s work on this in a separate document for the time being. Once it is set you can post it. Title it, “Metaphysical Engine”. Post. No more today. You can work on scene four once this business is set to your satisfaction. – Amorella.
