Last time I passed my trial of writer's block by writing the Mersenne Sequence using sigma notation. But during this iteration / this irritation, this cement with number four rebar and extra aggregate, I found the time to solve various time dilation problems using the equation for the gamma factor. Yes, at speeds near that of light, time slows and distances contract. It all depends on your frame of reference. I often think about what lies beyond our veil. That mechanism which blocks the brain's full sensory understanding of the realms beyond the third. What math governs those overarching dimensions? What new elements are there to discover without the joy of a particle accelerator?
There is a Judaic legend of several scholars who tried to grasp these answers To Enter Paradise, which are considered the riddles of our reality. Three out of four suffered the pains of that attempt to go beyond human possibilities. The caution is to focus on what existed before the building of our world and what happens at the end. I am an earth-walker who dwells solidly in this dimension. Maybe this thought keeps me grounded, or just maybe it is gravity multiplied by my mass acting on a tall frame.
Regardless of my lust for knowledge, I know there are factors governing nature that are beyond human cognition. My heart is among the trees, animals, insects enjoying the colors and texture of this planet. I am more than halfway through this journey. I understand the perception of time moves quicker per the fractional computation (1/age) of our life. If only I had a million more years. Cell senescence is a pestilence. But all math and science aside, while here, static in my prime, I learned it all boils down to thermodynamics and conservation of energy.
