Lost in Space

"It's about time, it's about space, it's a story about the human race".... this was a television entry jingle to a short lived show in the 1960's. "Lost in Space" was the title of a long running television science fiction show. While these were merely cutesy sayings for drawing in an audience, the words of both quotes are quite apropos when contemplating time and space. That's what this massive set is all about, contemplating space and time.

Excerpt:

What is space? We all have definitions that fit a single idea of what it might be. What is time? Again we define it in terms we are familiar with, but are those seconds, minutes, hours, days, years, etc... really time? Is an empty glass filled with space? Is the distance between two fingers space? Is time the same for me as it is for you? Or are we both wrong? Is space that area beyond our atmosphere, i.e. outer space? If that is outer space, then where is inner space?

Wherever there is nothing, there is space. Space is void, a null. It is nothing and nothingness. Space is infinite since there can be no end to its existence. If the universe were to implode space is all that would remain.

All the religious nuts and pseudo-prophets are preaching about and waiting for the end of time. The Mayan calendar had the world on edge that time, at least as we know it, would end on December 21, 2012. The fact is that if the earth and sun were to disappear time would continue on. Time is eternal, and does not rely on our sun, earth, and moon. Those only relate to 'us' humans on the home planet.

Time goes on forever. Even if time is a circle, it continues on its path with or without humans. So space is infinite and time is eternal. Is that not the only definitions of God that we really have? Is not that divine identified as infinite and eternal? So is God merely (or divinely) space and time?

Theologians, monks, priests, and philosophers from the ancients till now have contemplated space and time with the infinite and eternal. The great mind of Einstein was consumed by discovering how space and time work, how they relate to each other, and how they affect one another. The distance to planet xyz, for instance, is the space between two points. One point is earth and the other planet xyz. Yet we define that space in time!

Again space is nothing.. Space is a void. Space is the area where nothing can obstruct its being space. If you have an empty glass, is it space that fills that glass? It can't be because there are molecules of oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, pollutants, dust, etc. in that air that is in the empty glass. That would make space only exist where it is unobstructed between the molecules.

While space is a void, a nothing, it is perhaps the most important discovery in mathematics that the Arabians made. The Hebrews, the Romans, Greeks, Egyptians, and others in creating a human usable number system failed to include nothing, void, a zero. Their number systems were cumbersome, make calculations extremely difficult. Think of how difficult it is to read Roman numerals. There is no space (place) holder, there is no zero. The Arabic numeral system was devised by some great mind that understood the concept of nothing and how important is was to mathematics.

There may be nothing more difficult to contemplate than nothing, void, zero, space.. and its infinite character. There can always be nothing, but there cannot always be something. There is always space or everything become one large mass of matter.

Are we truly in fathomless space when we travel in outer space? Or do such things as solar winds, radiation, light, sound, gravity, or vibrations, interrupt space?

Time is endless. We generally only deal with divisions of time in the most minor of methods that have been supplied to us, clocks, sundials, watches, calendars, etc. Yet those items are not time, nor is our limited divisions of time, really time. Our limited view of time is based on the revolutions and orbits of the moon, earth, and sun. Yet, time exists without the sun, moon or earth existing.

When we look at a star we see light that shone billions of earth years ago. The star itself that shined that light has had billions of earth years of change since the light we see was produced. We are looking at the ancient history of that star! Many times we are viewing light that was produced even before our sun, earth, and solar system was created. So time existed long before mankind. An astronomer says he or she discovered a new star. Does he mean he/she just found it in the telescope or that that star's light suddenly appeared from its birth billions of earth years ago?

Scientists and counter-culture enthusiasts are seriously looking at time travel. Time travel cannot even be defined in earth year time. But, the minds that contemplate how to defeat the barriers of time, feel that time travel is possible! If time is an endless circle then twisting the circle into a figure eight gives us one point to cross over out of our current time into another, past or future!
