The Transportational Arbitrage Phenomenon

If you're looking for news just go to the next blog below this one. If you choose to stick around and read this then I salute you! You can just slip your check for $19.95 in the mail after you're done. On June 15th 2011 these remarks were extended and revised.

I wanted to talk about Time travel. Back in 1988 I sent someone in the media the proposition that in space folding, one usually didn't have a problem with landing on the other side in the same time frame (though mirror reversed). But I added "In some unusual cases one encounters gravimetric distortion that shifts time". First of all we need to expand our minds. People have various explanations for why we are even "trapped" in the particular time we are. The most comon is the "soap bubble" analogy, which illustrates the big bang. The big mental stretch here is portraying three dimensional matter is a flat surface with no "center". In this analogy, as in the Planet of the Apes movie as we mentioned in a recent posting, it is postulated you could circumnavigate the entire universe by traveling in basically a straight line. However I'm not sure Einstein ever used this analogy himself. However analogies lend themselves to being taken too literally and this is the danger here. It’s like when I was a little kid and we were in the car on the way to the Grifith Park observatory and my Dad gave me that riddle about “What has four wheels and flies?” Even when I realized “flies” could refer to the insect, it was a wwhile before the thought hit that there needn’t be any “flying” done at all. In the case of this classic theory about “why are we trapped in time and can’t get to the future or the past?” this analogy explains much, if you make the whole mental leap that “you aren’t seeing the whole enchilada in this illustration but only one convienient “plane” of it to make a point. And from one plane you can make reference to every other plane. It’s kind of the difference between seeing a photograph of the object and being there and actually walking around or through that object, as you can do in Google Sketch. The distance involved is a distamce in the fourth dimension from “Today”. Since in geometry such an equi-distant “point of distance” from a given dot, is called a circle. Keep in mind, and this is important, that ANY distance from the Big Bang “point” or dot, is the SAME dimension, that of our time. There is nothing about Time being two dimensional in this model. Perhaps I can better explain it using the illustration of Fireworks. You see these skyrockets going off and bursting in a circle. But maybe you wondered whether others see the thing as a head on circle or from the side like an oval or pancake. Then you get on your CB radio and find that each and every one of them also sees these fireballs as a circle. You wonder how this can be? Well, that’s because they aren’t circles but 3D “spheres” but you are only viewing a circle in 2 D. Keep in mind in this model Time is perfectly straight. Time never bends. Now in some Sci Fi movies it does. Hindus have a circular time view of cosmology where things are “reset” in the Cosmos every million years or so or whatever. In this model picture God as a magnet. The flux lines come out the north pole and loop around to all sides and come up from the bottom and again join the magnet. In this model one can see society as coming from God together and unified, and then as time passes – they separate. Some remain closer to God than others, but all eventually come together and rejoin God. You will note in this analogy the only time when society is ever “rising” or going Up or getting better is either immediately after having been with God, or else you’re about to rejoin God and are coming together, like the Beatles song says, or else the time you are “With God”. But in the soap bubble analogy- - the Universe by geometric mecessity, it would seem, is constantly getting larger in all directions away from the Big Bang. It is not only continually getting further away from its origins in Time but also the scope of the soap bubble is continually expanding. I've just read a lot about this theory in Time Life books. There are four analogies Einstein did employ in his own writings I'm fermiliar with. There is the easy train analogy, and the hard train analogy. This analogy largely centers on the idea of things appearing to occur at different times or even in reversed sequence, depending on how soon light reaches our eyes. Then we have the elevator analogy and the marbles analogy I rename the golf course analogy. (Who plays marbles these days?) In the elevator analogy it can be demonstrated that zero gravity can indeed be achieved within a gravitational field employing parabolas. Some again would carry this analogy “too far” and too literal to say that movement IS gravity and gravity IS movement. First of all gravity can be simulated by a continual numeric figure acceleration of the car. Not logarithmic but numeric. But one has tro ask himself “who is pushing the car?” The elevator is good at “compensating for” or “duplicating the effects of” gravity. But movement IS NOT gravity. I have no wish to repeal the laws of Universal attraction. In the golf course analogy we experiance what Pastor Chuck Smith would call "a break in expositional constancy" comparing it to the soap bubble analogy. Like that analogy the universe is portrayed as a flat surface. And just like the previous analogy, one may well remember my “Fireworks” illustration. Whatever is portrayed in 2 D is a 3 D reality and can be viewed from any three dimensional aspect. Unlike that analogy (and making it simpler) gravity is usually assumed to be downward as it affects trajectories and speeds. Grid lines are seen by the traveler as straight. As such were you to “fold space” the Universe would not know it was being folded for the most part because though the lines bend, we still see them as straight. Were one to actually fold space it would suppose a gravity source, and a giant one, “above” the grid plane. This not only complicates the illustration somewhat but the usual way in which folding space is portrayed it would be outright impossible, for it would suppose there is a gravity source "off the green grid" somewhere out in hyperspace. We know this cannot be because hyperspace does not conduct gravity. So it would not be, for instance, like holding a magnet over some magnetic green grid and watching it bend over. For some would say "were space to come back upon itself it would not be simply like bending a piece of flat paper." [deleted two sentences] I don’t know if Ether can penetrate itself. In Google Sketch objects by default can “penetrate” other objects as though they were not there. As such the thought is introduced of two space continuoums occupying the same space and unaware of each others existence. There is no indication this would be true. I don’t know the physical properties of ether. Perhaps double ether would cut the speed of light in half but have no other effects. Some including me think in terms of some “magic portal in space opening to the other side of the fold”. As to those who are still wondering what the “blank space” is in the golf course analogy, well, it's hyperspace or space "outside" the material universe. But of course you know from our study of the Hyperbolic Shield, which we have mentioned many times, that the “edge” of the Universe may not be seen as a “distance” away but rather is a function of the speed of light. “Hyperspace” could be found anywhere and by its sheer definition has neither dimensions within itself nor “locality”. However since such a gravity source needed would be way bigger than a Black Hole – one could not possibly imagine an artificial generation of it. And no gravity source "off the green grid" can affect the grid. Having two ether substances in the same space may not even possible. Some may say “you can’t fold 3 D solid matter.” Have you spent much time in the kitchen? How about kneading bread dough? You fold it over itself. Have you “folded” marangue into another substance? Same thing. So it is possible. It’s just that instead of your hands or a spoon, you employ strategically placed gravity wells to move the matter around to where you want it. But unlike the soap bubble analogy the "other dimension (shown as blank space) is Gravity (as we have just discussed) - and not Time. The grid lines are bent by gravity wells. Some would tell you gravity IS time. You know this isn't true because in general relativity- - - gravity can be reduced to a zero factor whereas Time can never fall below a factor of one. In a recent posting I discussed all the ways for hyper light travel. I discussed hyperspace, space folding, and manipulating Time (like the whole WARP thins is based on) Of these three I concluded hyperspace was your best shot. Because no matter how you manipulate time you still haven't solved your basic problem of transporting a MASS as a given Speed and having the passengers survive. Achieving Hyperspace can be as easy is taking the ETHER out of space. If you do this I postulate you will have achieved hyperspace. Having done so, then as in Star Wars and Asteroids, - Distance is no problem. But it's kind of like taking the Wet out of Water. I don't know how you do it. Once again we come to Space Folding a la the Dune movies. This is an extremely "disruptive" way to travel. As its usually illustrated I have now concluded it's utterly imposssible. It presupposes a massive gravitational force capable of bending space and looping it back upon itself- - the same way gravitation BENDS space in our green golf course grid analogy. The dime store hypothesis is that supposing a sufficiently powerful gravitational source and supposing that gravity has a spacial componet (the elevator analogy kind of suggests that it does) then you could skip light years distance in the Universe merely by opening up some Portal in space and stepping through. The whole "portal" thing however presupposes something. That the ether in space far away is somehow either different from ether here, or that the two portions of the space-ether are cohesive unto themselves, so that ether won't mix itself with ether and each knows where it came from so when you unfold or unscramble the universe things will go back to the way they were with everything in its original place. The time shift thing comes in because- - lets go back to the golf course analogy - - Gravity is stronger in some parts of the golf course than the others. It's stronger in the low valleys than in the higher areas. So that if a high area gets folded next to a lower area gravity will be different and so Time will be progressing at certain speeds. If you are in a high area going into a low area, you will step back into the past because Time goes more slowly there, If you are already IN a low area and step into a high area, you will conversely step into the Future, and hypothetically you may cross back and forth as many times as you like. There are two logical reasons why this is possible. One is that if a time travel is "pre ordained" by God, it is allowable, the same way that computer loops are allowable in linear logic. Just as an addendem to this, there IS a place for God in linear logic, but it is at the beginning of the chain and not as a component of circular reasoning. Any variable must be backed by something of uncontestable value, and this includes our money. Neither should computer logic lines ever cross. Because in doing so you may inadvertantly rewrite (or overwrite) the valuable of a variable you'll subsequently need at its original value. The other reason why they are allowable is the time and distance relation. We at night look into the sky with our powerful telescopes and may see into the past millions of years, yet nobody questions this. This phenomenon is what is known as your own personal Event Horizon, or as I cutely refer to it "A thought pyramid". In Wayne Dyre logic you can not travel TO another unless you are in THEIR event horizon. This has interesting applications when attempting to "reach God" because you'll be unable to reach Him unless HE can see you. As some would say time travel (via light waves) to your eye goes on all the time - you just can't do it HERE. Or so one would think. This posting is called "The Transportational Arbitrage Phenominon". It has to do with the possability of time travel. In comodities and in sports betting theoretically you can take advantage of things like a difference in point spreads for teams. Theoretically you could bet your life's savings every Sunday and even take out a loan, with no risk of ever losing a penny, if arbitrage really works. You could bet on a team favored by four and a half points to win, and turn around and bet money on the same team to lose with another bookie if he favors the team by five and a half points. You may win, but you could never lose. In time travel I'm depending on two different methods of teleportation. If we believe the book of Revelation there is time passage in Heaven, for it says in one passage "And then there was silence in heaven for what seemed like a half an hour". Gravity can be a zero factor but if time were a zero factor you'd have division by zero problems. Maathematically you can't quantify "nothing", which is what you'd be doing with a time factor of zero, staying within the fourth dimension. If the time factor of hyperspace is a One, then we can put another exestential idea to the test, Suppose you use one method- - space folding, to get TO your destination but to come BACK you employ pure hyperspace? This is what I refer to as “travel arbitrage”. When is “Today” not really today? Is time an abstract conception of the Mind that is always constant but doesn’t exist (except in our minds) in actuality, but is only employed to “measure” things in our world. The other view is that Time is an integral part of the Universe itself. Here is the exestencial “problem”. What if it looks like a dog, barks like a dog, has fleas like a dog, even smells like a dog. And suppose you do a DNA test and it comes back the DNA of a dog? Is it a dog? What if I tell you that I know it’s not? How can we prove whether is is “really” a dog or not? Suppose at three o clock this afternoon time slowed down to forty percent of normal. Your watch slowed. Your body and cell matabelism slowed. Frequencies of television stations slowed, even the frequency of specific spectoral colors slowed, but the colors looked the same? Suppose the very electrons not to mention the acceleration rate of gravity slowed? Suppose it did this for four days and then went back to normal? Would ten days “really” have elapsed or just four. Now suppose it’s one percent and not forty, but it started a thousand years ago. Suppose on the space fold destination there is a planet identical in every to Earth except for the dialated time? It would be like stepping back in time for ten years. You see normally, “Time Shifts” in distant lands wouldn’t matter because you never knew what “NOW” was to begin with. But if you had a point of reference it would make a dramatic different. But even if there was no cloned earth- - supposed you used space folding to go TO your destination and hyper-space to get BACK. You could by combining these different modes of travel, much as conbining metals in acid to produce an electric current- - you would “really have something you could use” either to travel forward in time or to travel backwards. You would have indeed achieved the dream of being two places at once. But ONLY if you were THERE all along, but never knew it because you hadn’t lived there yet. Or as we say, “only if such a leap is pre ordained by God. (you don’t see God in a science discourse very often but you can’t get away fro it here) You may even talk to people and then after making a long list of predictions about George W Bush, you would just travel back by the reverse rout, not caring to really live the previous ten years over again. Just think about it. It's theoretically possible.
