Doesn't give one much room to move about, I suppose, but it does give you a marvelous perspective on just how connected everything in our universe actually is. For in t/s, all of space is at the same point instantaneously.
Hmmm, this is an interesting concept.:idea: For one reason, until now, I had only thought of using extra dimensions to allow things "impossible" according to our current view of physics (e.g., instantaneous communication at a distance, or travel beyond light speed). But with this approach, we can see that actually by compressing, or removing dimensions, we remove some of those physical barriers. Consider a sheet of paper with two points on it. They may be separated by vast distances, but if the paper is "folded" in a third dimension, then we can bring them together. The process of projecting three space into scalar space acts similarly to that of folding the paper in an extra dimension - with the added benefit that by projecting the dimensions down to a point we always bring them together:exclamation:3D Sunset
I'm with you here! Interestingly, there was a point in our space/time history where every place was "here". And that point would be just before the big bang! I would further speculate that at that same point, all of time (in t/s) was also one instantaneous "now". Since we've mused that the big bang is representative of the beginning of the octave, it would follow that space/time and time/space were both created with the big bang.
What you said about action at a distance also resonates. I follow of the work of parapsychologist Dean Radin, and in one of his interviews he spoke about how in quantum mechanics particles can become entangled and exhibit this behavior, but only if they interact. Then he mentioned that of course everything must be entangled, since at one point every atom in the universe was touching one another right before the big bang.
I'm going off on another branch of thinking now, but I wonder also since we know that space itself is expanding with cosmic inflation, that in time/space time is somehow expanding, and not in the way we would normally think of the progression of time linearly. Lots of food for thought, eh? Time for lunch I think.
