Turiyatitta and the One-Electron Universe

A Journey into Nondual OnenessAs proposed by physicist John Archibald Wheeler, the concept of the one-electron universe suggests that every electron in the universe might be the same particle, traversing back and forth through time. This radical idea blurs the boundaries between individuality and unity, inviting profound contemplation on the nature of existence and consciousness.Electrons, as…

On This Day: Oppenheimer publishes a paper that basically lays out the existence of black holes. John Archibald Wheeler scoffs at it, then turns around to coin the term "black hole" himself

John Wheeler was fond of illustrating his vision with a variant of the twenty questions game. In this game, a group of colleagues are seated in a living room after dinner. One is sent out. In his absence, the rest decide to play the game with a twist: They agree not to settle on a definite word but to act as if they had agreed upon a word. When the questioner returns and poses his “yes/no” questions, each respondent answers as he pleases, with the one condition that his response should be compatible with all previous ones. So at each stage of the game, everyone in the room has in mind a word that is consistent with all the answers that have been given before. Naturally, successive questions rapidly narrow down the options until both the questioner and the respondents are taken by the hand, as it were, and guided toward a single word. What that final word is, however, depends on the questions the questioner asks and even on the order of the questions. In this variant of the game, Wheeler said, “No word is a word, until that word is promoted to reality by the choice of questions asked and answers given.”

Mike is named after famous theoretical physicist

John Archibald Wheeler

I reference this in my art here if you’re interested in checking it out.

We really should talk about this more…

John Wheeler is known for his work on promoting Einstein’s theory of general relativity. Mike has art on his wall titled “Relativity” by M.C. Escher based on the theory.

John Wheeler is also known for popularizing the term “black hole”. Stephen Hawking even referred to him as “the hero of the black hole story”.

He has also done a lot of work on quantum mechanics. Specifically, he has theorized that time may work much differently on a quantum scale. Wheeler’s Delayed-Choice Experiment, and the One-Electron Universe are examples of theories in which he postulates if subatomic particles can essentially “time travel”.

While I know Mike is “not a dog”, he does share something major in common with the dog in Back to the Future (who happens to be referenced in ST). Lol.

Anyway… much to think about.

Coming to you all soon: The 2023 Grand Himbo Tournament!!

Inspired by the @nonbiney-swag-competition mainly, created and hosted by @makerofmadness

edit: guys it's already started pleas catch up I can't tell everyone who thinks it hasn't started yet dndndndndndn

Edit 2; The tournament has officially concluded! Thanks for your participation, I will still be using this blog for helping spread other tournaments, and also posting cringe

Welcome one and all, to the most ambitious tournament probably so far (that is to say, I chose way too many characters but in my defense I had found a blank template for a smash bros character roster thing and wanted to fill the whole thing up, even if I had to turn to the dark side to do so for one or two picks): The 2023 Himboff!

Round 1 Part 1 will begin on Friday, hopefully giving everyone enough time to prepare themselves for battle (I describe this as if it's a war and not a tumblr pollnament-).

Unity and interconnectedness This symbol depicts the universe as a "self-excited" circuit. It was originally created by the late theoretical physicist John Archibald Wheeler in his 1983 paper Law Without Law. The eye represents the self and the line directly opposite represents that which it is perceiving within the "external" environment. The two sections are connected into each other via arrows to demonstrate that it is a singular and unified system.

Happy birthday to John Archibald Wheeler, who enjoyed quantum foam parties perhaps a little too much

[simpsforscience]

Imagine💭 compressing the entire universe into a blueberry. 🫐 That's the Planck Epoch - tiny but mighty!💪🏻 A speck of unimaginable density and energy, where everything we know was squeezed into a point smaller than a proton. 🤏🏻 Swipe through this post ➡️ where we've peeled another layer of 'Big Bang Theory' !
