Guest guest Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 Various facts from sceintific observation, combined with theory, suggest the following conclusions: a. That if the history of the stellar universe were traced back far enough in time we would find a stage wherein there were no stars,but only a more or less homogenous matter and radiation spread uniformily throughout space. b. That if we could follow the life of the systems of stars far enough into the future, we would come to a time when most matter, if not all, would be reduced or transformed into radiation extending throughout space. c. That the two notions of conservation of mass and of energy must be united into the conception of a persistent Energy which may appear in the forms of ponderable mass or of field energy, the latter including that which is termed radiant energy. These conceptions leave us with but one " invariant, " i.e., Energy which may appear at certain times as ponderable matter, and at others as transformed into the state of radiant energy. ERGO: Energy is. Before ponderable matter was,Energy is. Though ponderable matter seems to exist, Energy is. When ponderable matter vanishes, yet remaining through all unaffected, Energy is. Outside of Energy nothing is. Within the bosom of Energy lies the power of awareness that projects ponderable matter. When ponderable matter is projected the power of awareness as subject is presupposed, yet Energy remains unchanged. When ponderable matter is born, then, likewise, consciousness of radiant energy arises. Cnosciousness of ponderable matter is the Universe. Consciousness of radiant energy is Nirvana. Within Energy lie both ponderable matter and radiant energy, yet for Energy these two are the same Within Energy lies the seed of Time When awareness cognizes Time knowledge of Timelessness is born. To be aware of Time is to be aware of ponderable matter, and to be aware of ponderable matter is to be aware of Time To realize Timelessness is to attain Nirvana But for Energy there is no difference between Time and Timelessness Within Energy lies the seed of world-containing Space When awareness cognizes the world-containing Space then knowledge of the Spatial Void is born. To be aware of the world-containing Space is to be aware of the Universe of ponderable matter To realize the Spatial Void is to awaken to Nirvanic Consciousness But for Energy there is no difference between the world containing Space and the Spatial Void Within Energy lies the seed of Law When consciousness of ponderable matter is born The Law is invoked as a Force tending ever toward Equilibrium Consciousness of the field of tensions is the Universe Consciousness of Equilibrium is Nirvana But for Energy There is neither tension nor equilibrium The state of tensions is the state of ever-becoming. Ever becoming is endless-dying So the state of ponderable matter is a state of ever-renewing promises that pass into death at the moment of fulfillment. Thus when consciousness is attached to ponderable matter the agony of birth and death never ceases. In the state of Equilibrium where birth cancels death the deatless Bliss of Nirvana is realized. But Energy is neither agony nor bliss. Out of the Great Void which is Energy the Universe is creatively projected. The Universe as experienced is the created negation that ever resists. The creative act is bliss the resistance, unending pain. Endless resistance is the Universe of experience; the agony of crucifixion. Ceaseless creativeness is Nirvana, the Bliss beyond human conceiving. But for Energy there is neither creativeness nor resistance. Ever-becoming and ever-ceasing to be are endless action. When ever becoming cancels the ever-ceasing-to-be then Rest is realized. Ceaseless action is the Universe. Unending Rest is Nirvana But Energy is neither Action nor Rest. When consciousness is attached to ponderable matter it is restricted through forms imposed by the world-containing Space, by Time and by Law. When consciousness is disengaged from ponderable matter, Liberation from the forms of the world-containing Space, of Time, and of Law is attained. Attachment to ponderable matter is consciousness bound within the Universe. Liberation from such attachment is the State of unlimited Nirvanic Freedom. But Energy is neither bondage nor freedom. Energy may be symbolized by a SPACE that is unaffected by the presence or absence of ponderable matter, for which there is neither Time nor Timelessness; neither a world-containing Space nor a Spatial Void; neither Tension nor Equilibrium; neither Resistance nor Creativeness; neither Agony nor Bliss; neither Action nor Rest; and neither Restriction nor Freedom. As the GREAT SPACE is not to be identified with the Universe so neither is It to be identified with any self. The GREAT SPACE is not God, but the comprehender of all Gods, as well as all lesser creatures. The GREAT SPACE, or Energy, is the Sole Reality upon which all ponderable matter, and all selves depend and derive their existence. The GREAT SPACE comprehends both the Path of ponderable matter and the Path of Nirvana. Besides the GREAT SPACE there is none other. OM TAT SAT ....................................................................... The American Institute of Physics Bulletin of Physics News Number 768 March 9, 2006 by Phillip F. Schewe, Ben Stein, and Davide Castelvecchi LIGHT-LIGHT INTERACTIONS IN VACUUM will be possible soon. Vacuum---the very name suggests emptiness and nothingness---is actually a realm rife with potentiality, courtesy of the laws of quantum electrodynamics (QED). According to QED, additional (albeit virtual) particles can be created in the vacuum, allowing light-light interactions. Physicists from Umea University (Sweden) and the Rutherford Appleton Lab (UK) hope to explore the vacuum by aiming three powerful laser streams at each other. The laser light is not aimed at any material target and is not trying to initiate any nuclear fusion. Instead the three beams will merge to produce a fourth stream with a wavelength shorter than any of the input beams. This idea of mixing beams has been broached before but the earlier proposals had the beams all in a single plane. The Swedish-British proposal (contact Mattias Marklund, 46-90-786-7717, mattias.marklund), by contrast, foresees a fully three-dimensional wave mixing process. The actual experiment is planned to be carried out over the next year at the Rutherford Appleton Lab. By carefully polarizing the incoming light beams, the number of photons in the output beam can be controlled, providing valuable information about the interactions that took place in the vacuum. What is this " four-wave mixing " good for? For studying QED itself, but also for testing theories that propose the existence of minor departures from Lorentz invariance, which is the proposition (essential to special relativity) that there is no preferred frame of reference. Light-light interactions might also be used to explore various hypotheses related to dark energy.
