My perspectives based on my readings
I haven't read about string theory of physics. What Einstein said about time negated the Newtonian concept of time. Newton said time and space were separate.
According to Einstein, time and space are not separate. Something cannot exist at some place without existing at some time, and neither can it exist at some time without existing at some place.
Most of us think of space and time are separate because that is the way that we think that we experience time. For example, we seem to have some control over our position in space, but none at all over our position in time. There is nothing that we can do about the flow of time.
What science, and particularly physics, says about the nature of this universe we live in, the nature of our human bodies, the nature of our minds, and the relationship of all these to each other is as follows:
According to quantum field theorists, all material things- whether they are cars, human bodies, or dollar bills - are made up of atoms. These atoms are made up of subatomic particles which, in turn, are fluctuations of energy and information in a huge void of energy and information. The basic conclusion of quantum field theorists is that the raw material of the world is non-material; the essential stuff of the universe is nonstuff. All of our technology is based on this fact. And this is the climactic overthrow of the superstitio of materialism today.
Fax machines, computers, radios, television- all these technologies are possible because scientists no longer believe that the atom, which is the basic unit of matter, is a solid entity. An atom is not a solid entity at all; it is a hierarchy of states of information and energy in a void of all possible states of information and energy. The subatomic particles such as protons, electrons, quarks, and bosons that make up an atom of gold or lead are exactly the same. Although we call them particles, they are not material things; they are impulses of energy and information. What makes gold different from lead is the ARRANGEMENT AND QUANTITY of these impulses of energy and information.
All of material creation is structured out of information and energy. All quantum events are basically fluctuations of energy and information. And these impulses of energy and information are the nonstuff that make up everything that we consider stuff or matter.
So it becomes clear that not only is the essential stuff of the universe nonstuff, but that it is THINKING nonstuff. For what else is a thought but an impulse of energy and information?
We think of thoughts as occuring only in our head, but that is because we experience them as linguistically structured thought that is verbally elite and speaks to us in the English language. But those same impulses of energy and information that we experience as thoughts- those SAME IMPULSES - are the raw material of the universe.
The only difference between thoughts inside my head and those outside my head is that I experience thoughts inside my head linguistically structured terms. But before a thought becomes verbal and is experienced a language, it is just an intention. It is, once again, an impulse of energy and information.
Note: Most of the above observations are from the writings of Deepak Chopra and his interpretations.
