--------- #1242 - How Does Spacetime Change at the Micro-level?.
- Space and time change at the macro-level to keep the velocity of communications a constant. At the micro-level space and time become lumpy with uncertainties and seem to avoid this limitation all together. We live in the middle of these extremes and only recognize them at the frontiers of physics and astronomy.
- Attachments - all missions to space to this time.
- The previous Review #1241 “ How Can Space and Time be Related?” discusses space and time and their inter-relationship on a macro-scale. In order to keep the laws of physics the same for everyone, everywhere, we must keep the speed of communications at a constant. The constant is the speed of light which is 186,000 miles per second, or , 670 million miles per hour. As an object moves through space and approaches this limit of space divided by time, the ratio, cannot exceed this limit.
- Therefore, time slows down so it takes longer to travel the same amount of space. Or, viewed from the point of view of time space is shrinking so during the same amount of time the object travels a smaller amount of space. This compensating behavior causes the speed of travel to stop accelerating and eventually to remain a constant velocity when the ratio reaches 640 million miles per hour.
- That is what is happening at the macro-level of space and time. They are relative not absolute quantities, and, they can change relative to each other. What is happening at the micro-level? At the smallest atomic levels space and time enter the world of “uncertainty”. (Refers to the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle in Quantum Mechanics.) Just as particles behave more like waves of uncertainty, space and time behave like waves. The positions in space become a wave of probabilities of uncertainties. The velocities which are the ratio of space and time also become waves of probabilities of uncertainties.
- At the smallest scales things do not become “points“. Certainties cannot be resolved. At the smallest scales they become bulls eyes of wave patterns that spread effects over a range of probabilities. These waves can interfere with each other. They can reinforce each other. The waves are always present but they are only noticeable on the very smallest scales. When we get to the size of atoms energy, space, and time are waves of uncertainties.
- In our desire to understand reality we need to measure the workings of the Universe. We need mathematics and hard data to define our theories so we can accurately predict a future outcome. Uncertainties are not what we ordered. They muddy up the works. In contradiction the math has produced the most accurate theories we have ever produced.
- Uncertainties are what we get at the micro-level. What is even worse is that physics only involves things we can measure and when we measure something at the micro-level we introduce more uncertainty by measuring it. If we measure position we change its velocity ( position with time ). If we measure its velocity we change its position (position within space ). If we measure energy we disturb the time of measurement needed to resolve the energy.
- From the Review #1241 “ How Can Space and Time be Related?” we learned that space, time, matter and energy all contribute to the geometry of the gravitational fields. Just as space and time change in response to motion, space and time also change in response to matter and energy. This occurs at the macro-level as well as the micro-level. In the big scheme of things we humans are right in the middle. Our 2 meters of height is half-way between the biggest things in the Universe and the smallest things in the Universe. We do not experience these strange behaviors of space and time until physics and astronomy take us to the extreme limits of these dimensions.
- At the smallest levels things can remain connected even though they are separated in space. We normally think that things can not communicate over separations in space faster than the speed of light can cover that distance. However, at the smallest scales, where these uncertainties are noticeable, they seem to bypass these restrictions of spatial separation. They somehow remain connected regardless of separation
- When quantum connections are measured on two separate quantum uncertainties a collapse of one measured uncertainty will instantaneously result in the collapse of the other exactly according to their connected uncertainty probabilities. The uncertainties are “entangled” across space. Their communications are somehow not limited by the constant speed of light over distances of separation. Somehow space versus time is overcome at the quantum level for these entangled quantum effects.
- At the micro-level space, time, and energy seem to exist as small bundles, or packets, or as they are called today, “ quantums”. The study of these has developed the math that describes their behavior which is called Quantum Mechanics. Quantum Mechanics and Uncertainty Principles have allowed science to accurately and repeatedly explain what it sees. At the same time our science does not allow us to see what we explain. Once an uncertainty waveform is collapsed by a measurement there is not a way to run it backwards and return it to the waveform again. (This could be the arrow of time.)
- Space, time, and energy become unavoidably wavy , bumpy and lumpy at the micro-scales. The uncertainty fluctuations remain inversely proportional to the time resolution of our measurements. The more we learn we find the less we know.
