Potential links between Relativity, Christian Theology and Evolution
Discussing the converging aspects of the two main scientific theories of modern history and specific theological points of view
You may have heard of the Gabriel’s horn, in which the volume of the liquid that can fill its inside is finite, and the surface of the horn is infinite in dimension. Consider the volume of the liquid to be humans, animals and other life forms with an intelligence, and the surface of the horn to be the perception of time, which is dependant upon intelligence. To be more exact, the younger you are, the slower you perceive time. The smaller you are, the slower you perceive time, just as you will perceive time more slowly in the mountains than in the fields. The same principle of Gabriel’s Horn may apply to the history of matter. Nobody can see or even imagine the point of time when the physical matter first existed. This may be regarded as an infinity of the history of matter’s formation and modulation, and we also know that, because light rays have a speed that reaches time nullity in relation to this dimension, light has always existed in this position of dimensionality. Moreover, light from this dimensional spot may be matter in a different one due to the relativity of time, mass, space and distance, and this might prove the possibility of the existence of spirits (that are invisible and physically untouchable in this dimensional spot). Also, the reason why children experience reality much slower than adults is because they generally occupy a third of the space compared to adults. Well, imagine how faetuses in their fourth month of pregnancy experience time. This refers yet again to an exponential trend, and the more advanced they are in the stage of maturity, the faster they experience time, and in an exponential manner until late teenage years. The same happens with the perception of sound; the smaller you are, the louder you will perceive the sounds of your surroundings, and this shows that relativity includes sound as well. For example, if an embryo were to be brought out of the womb, the eardrums would quickly break because the sounds from the outside world would be too intense. Also, because time is relative, automatically everything in this physical realm is relative, including our senses of sight, hearing, smell and taste. A loss of one or more of these senses will result to a loss of our abilities of co-ordination in space.
Figure 1: The Gabriel’s Horn / Toricelli’s Trumpet could be the perfect description of the perceived speed of time throughout our physical existence. The infinite surface of the horn represents our perceived speed of time throughout our existence. The finite volume of the liquid that fills the horn represents the finite number of years from the moment of conception until death. The thin surface areas on the right side of “y = 1/x” represent the perceived speed of time from the moment of conception to our late childhood, and the thick surface areas on the left side of “y = 1/x” represent the perceived speed of time from our teenage years onward. So yes, the longest phase of our lives was in our mothers’ wombs, and life is much shorter than we can think. This could be the cornerstone of the applications of the Theory of Relativity into Psychology (Source of the figure: https://coffeejazzandmath.wordpress.com/2015/08/29/on-gabriels-horn-miles-davis-trumpet-and-why-your-mind-should-be-blown/).
Figure 2: The y = 1/x function with limits of zero, infinity and negative infinity, which makes the surface of the Gabriel’s Horn / Toricelli’s Trumpet. This function may be the cornerstone of all exponential and logarithmic trends, and we can observe two slopes that do not intersect at any point. One of them is negatively exponential and based on negative co-ordinates and the other is positively logarithmic and based on positive co-ordinates. And we know that the value of y on any kind of exponential or logarithmic slope does not reach zero at any time. The beginning of the existence of our consciousness is a miracle as big as the value of y ever reaching 0 on both slopes, given that only something or Someone completely outside of the matrix of the reality would make this possible (the start of our existence), and I think the same applies to the beginning of matter, since in the physical reality, matter cannot be created, and nor can it be destroyed (Source of the figure: https://coffeejazzandmath.wordpress.com/2015/08/29/on-gabriels-horn-miles-davis-trumpet-and-why-your-mind-should-be-blown/). As a result, zero actually represents a point of infinity. Overall, the analogy based on the Gabriel’s Horn / Toricelli’s Trumpet that I have proposed might indicate that our individual consciousness is not of the physical world.
Perception is a form of reality and the outside world is another form of reality. Concerning human psychology, it can be observed that the perception of time differs, mainly based on the brain developmental state. Namely, the earlier the developmental stage of the brain, the more slowly time will be perceived. Adaptation to newer levels of complexity, via automation, represents the bridge to a faster perceived time, and likewise, what can be seen here is a link between the theory of relativity and the theory of evolution. Hence, the more advanced the level of intelligence, the faster time will be perceived due to the proportionality between complexity and speed of perceived time. This finally brings the argument of an increase of the perceived speed of time from century to century due to the fact that the levels of intelligence have been substantially increasing. The reason why you are going through time and changes is because you have not reached the final destination, and you also cannot imagine how your existence started because only God, the Infinity of the infinities, can imagine how your existence started. Travelling through the age path implies a continuous change of perception of other age groups. Namely, when you are a little child, you see almost everybody around you as more mature and when you are advanced in age, you see almost everybody around you as less mature. Where there is time, there is change, and where there is change, perception changes with time too. Where there is no time, there is no change, and likewise, perception does not change since there is no time. This might explain why we cannot imagine our afterlife from the perspective of the physical world, as it would seem infinitely boring. Also, we can never grasp the origins of our individual existence and how matter came into existence using a perspective based on the physical reality.
Imagine that, one evening, you are on Earth, watching the sky, when all of a sudden, you see two objects travelling at just more than half of the speed of light, facing against one another. Will they collide and get completely destroyed?
According to the fact that the speed of light is the maximum speed in the Universe and that the two objects are going in opposite directions, they will not collide, since the differential speed of the two is greater than the speed of light.
Let us say there are two individuals, each inside of one object. Each individual will not be able to see the other object, since a differential speed greater than the light will cause the mass to be less than zero. This, my friends, is what would be called the relativity of dimensions.
If the mass of disintegrated objects at the speed of light is zero, that means the mass of the Universe in relation to them is zero, as velocity is relative. That would demonstrate the Universe is not finite. Furthermore, if time is stationary at the speed of light, then light is eternal, and that would only strengthen the argument that matter cannot be created, nor destroyed.
The following represents a mathematical study I performed to suggest the inclusion of the 4D type of realm that the Universe is into 5D and 6D spaces:
Now, imagine that O is a star in a random galaxy, and that two black holes are located each approximately 10 thousand light years from the star, at exactly opposite spots (one at point A and one at point D). Given that the force of a black hole completely controls light from a specific area, what can be observed is a caused differential speed greater than the double of the speed of light. That could prove the existence of a space with at least seven or eight dimensions.
Furthermore, dimensions are known to consist of fractional dimensions. The following adds up to the evidence they are relative:
Imagine you are in a train that goes through a big city. The train has a considerable speed, and you can see that the objects near the train "move faster" than the objects further from it. The reason I said "move" is because speed is relative, and the effect is the same as if the objects move in relation to the train. Likewise, the following can be demonstrated: distance constriction is not a monotonous trend, but rather, an exponential one. In other words, the closer the objects are, the faster they will "move" toward the source and/or around it, depending on the direction of motion. The same applies for their sizes and masses. Overall, that gives us the following formulae:
PES ~ SO
PES = e ^ DES => ln PES = DES
Where PES - Proximal Environment Speed, DES - Distal Environment Speed and SO - Speed of the Object.
PEM ~ MO
PEM = e ^ DEM => ln PEM = DEM
Where PEM - Proximal Environment Mass, DEM - Distal Environment Mass and MO - Mass of the Object.
The value of e represents the number of Euler and is approximated to 2.72.
”It can only be as big as you think it can be.”
Throughout the previous two centuries, there have been increasing worries from the side of religious groups that a theory that the Earth was formed billions of years ago and that the human species was selected from multiple groups of previous ancestors. However, after a number of decades, Albert Einstein discovered the relativity of time, which resulted in the discovery that mass and space are relative too. As a result, mankind was then able to discover that the Universe is not just enclosed in an invisible wall on its edge, but rather that invisible walls to extra-dimensional spaces exist, as in a given space, two light waves travelling in completely different directions result in a differential speed twice the speed of light. Moreover, two distant black holes would result in the development of a differential vector speed even greater than that, which demonstrates that not even a 6D space is limited. Albert Einstein's popular formula not only proves there is an incredibly high number of existing dimensions, but an important conversion of that formula proves that there can actually be an unlimited number of dimensions, which suggests that infinity might be real.
Specifically, the E = m x c^2 formula can be converted into E = (m0 x c^2) / sqrt (1 - v^2 / c^2), where v^2 < c^2. E is the energy, m is the mass, v is the speed and c is the speed of light. As a result, there is no known finite number of existing dimensions. To add the final spices, dimensions are also relative, as they consist of elements that are that way.
"... because a thousand years in Your sight, Lord, are like the day of yesterday that passed."
One must ask the following: what does this have to do with the theories of Big Bang and Evolution, and religion? Well, for the beginning, I am addressing this as a philosophical insight of the Book of Genesis in the Bible. Given that the formation of the Universe required over ten billion years and all living organisms emerged from bacteria in the soil, we might interpret the seven days of creation as very long ages, which represents an aspect mentioned in a few pieces of Christian literature. This would make perfect sense in terms of the Theory of Relativity, since God had to cross an incredibly high number of dimensions to create the Universe and the Earth, and then form the animals and the humans. Given this suggestion, then the fact that such a process actually lasted for more than ten billion years would make perfect sense, as time is relative inside and outside a 3D/4D space. Also, the fact that there is such thing as a structure in the Universe that can absorb light when it is located in its electromagnetic field makes miracles scientifically possible. Why? Because both black holes and miracles represent extra-dimensional forces that are complementary with the natural laws. In the dimension of the Earth, God probably needed to spend most of His efforts to create the physical matter. Then, He needed to put effort to create chemistry, which is the second degree of matter, before He could create life.
Based on the analogies created above, you never actually “started” to exist. God started your existence, and not yourself.
This cannot make sense for us logically because we cannot understand the extra-dimensionality of infinity. Although you never "started" to exist, you had a beginning because your infinity had a beginning, since your infinity is finite on the outside. You were moved through different micro-dimensions of infinity as you were conceived, spiritually and physically. Probably the same goes with the creation of the world; the time when animal species were going through heavy natural selection and before mankind existed was simply the pregnancy of the current ages. Just as, in immunology, cells are fully matured after a complex process of maturation that implicates numerous steps, maybe all living organisms came to their final natural selection stage right before Adam and Eve came into existence. Even light has a beginning, although the speed of light breaks all barriers of time and space. Maybe some of you might be asking yourselves, what if God had a beginning as well? I think that is unlikely and I will explain why. Angels, who are beings outside our dimension of infinity, also had a beginning. Think of it as the physical and the metaphysical worlds. Neither have an actual edge, meaning that both are actually infinite. However, both have a beginning, according to the Holy Scripture. The outside of the spiritual infinity is the infinity of nothing, and nothing has no beginning. But God created everything, and if He covers nothing as well, then He has no beginning and no end. And, just as matter cannot be created nor destroyed within its infinite dimension (first-degree infinity), the spirit realm cannot be created nor destroyed within its infinite dimension (second-degree infinity), and time only exists in the first-degree infinity. An outside intervention is needed to create both realms. Third-Degree Infinity is neither created, nor destroyed, and God created from nothing everything we see and are connected to spiritually. This may explain the Orthodox Christian point of theology that it was only possible for God to create the spiritual realm and the material Universe by using His Uncreated Energies. And God being the author of goodness, will never destroy the realms He created because He never makes mistakes. He is just eliminating evil whilst selecting His own. Maybe the reason why matter cannot be created, nor destroyed, in this inter-dimensional spot, is not because God does not exist, but because God’s infinity is both dimensional and inter-dimensional. In other words, the fact that there is likely an infinite number of dimensions represents the beauty of God’s infinity.
In the New Testament, it is mentioned in a few instances that the Kingdom of God was near at the time of Jesus. Well, this suggests that, as the processes of biological and molecular selection of humans and their ancestors before 40,000 BC, and then the processes of moral selection after, took place, the Universe was travelling inter-dimensionally toward the dimension of the Kingdom of God. It is like a human extending the hand to a piece of matter, modulating it whilst getting it near and eliminating the useless and harmful parts of the piece. As a result, time became shorter, intelligence became greater and the newer hundreds and thousands of generations became, in the long run, more moral too. It is written that in the last days, intelligence will rise sharply and the days will be shortened, which suggests that the world will be even closer inter-dimensionally to God. These events may look coincidental for people who do not believe in the metaphysical, and not coincidental at all for people who believe there is a layer of existence deeper than the physical matter. Just as there is a positive selection implicated, there is much negative selection involved, and the latter will completely end when the Universe will reach the dimensional place of God. Similar patterns can be viewed with other religions and forms of spirituality. Imagine dimensional motility in a similar fashion as the way Earth rotates and moves around the Sun. Well, the Universe may in this case move inter-dimensionally, from a spot where chaos seems to be the supreme force, to a spot where order is dominant. On a post with a similar topic, I mentioned that dimensional relativity and motility are possible because the elements of a dimension (time, mass, distance, space and speed) are relative. This sort of event may be complementary with the processes of Universe and planetary formation, as well as the evolution and natural selection of living organisms.
"God rested on the seventh day."
The fact that a Creator, Who reaches infinity, rested, means that the effort made could be converted in the amount of natural time that was spent. The evolution of bacteria in the soil into species of apes, the formation of early humans and then the elimination of neanderthal species and the evolutionary selection of the final human species can represent, in a way and from an extra-dimensional perspective, an analogy to successions of events like the development and selection of functional B-lymphocyte immune cells. Consider the complete development and differentiation of STEM cells into mature B-lymphocytes. Well, they have to be selected into common lymphoid progenitor cells, then small and large pro-B cells, then large and small pre-B cells, then mature B-cells (IgM+ and after that IgM+ and IgD+ B-Lymphocytes). Look at the entire evolution and selection of the final human species from a different time frame, and you will see no difference in the pattern. In this case, the STEM cells from which humanity emerged were nothing but... oceanic bacteria that existed some 3.5 billion years ago. Overall, the selection of humans may not be just an accidental selection process after all. If you read the entire first chapter of the Book of Genesis and take it from this different timeframe perspective, then you will astonishingly realise that it would make plenty of sense. Groups and species of animals and plants certainly need more than two actual days to reproduce and mature, let alone evolve and be naturally selected.
Likewise, if you consider the few billions of years of evolution and natural selection as a timeframe of forty-eight hours, then you could say that humans rapidly came from dust. Then comes the theory that the animals were created first and humans came from an independent lineage after the start of the creation of the lineage of animals. At this moment of time, there is no conclusive proof that humans came as a result of animal natural selection and had a common ancestor with apes. There are numerous similarities in the DNA and morphology, which makes it a theory, and theories as they become better, can be updated and even changed. One aspect for sure is that life cannot emerge from non-life without an extra-dimensional sort of intervention.
With regards to the Creation of the physical world, I personally find it likely not to be a black and white type of matter, since the physical world contains time. Because time was created too, it could be that the time frame of the creation of matter was different. Keeping in mind that the Earth was moving around its axis very slowly in the beginning, it could mean that the first day lasted for potentially millions or even billions of years. The beginning of the physical world cannot be deciphered because it constitutes a first-degree infinity, which is subject to the Third-Degree Infinity. This is because, since matter cannot be created nor destroyed in this set of dimensions, time cannot be created in this manner either. Since God created the Universe from outside of this set of dimensions, it is not up to us to be able to understand how the world was created, and the duration of the process. Time was created as well, and if we take a look at the Creation from the perspective of the material Universe, then we will only see an endless set of processes. Where there is an infinity, there is no such thing as finite, but a kind of infinity where mankind and living organisms should stay in so they will survive, be fruitful and reproduce. Just as we need light to see and we need to abide by the light to know what we are doing, so we need to stay within the moral right to we will distinguish right from wrong and strengthen humanity altogether. And we know that light and darkness are both infinite.
What I can tell you from this, using my humble thinking, is that nothing of this world would make sense if there were no Maker. But since there is something precious called life amongst an infinity within an infinity, we can be certain that life was created by Someone who loves us infinitely. With regards to good and evil, it would make sense to say that evil represents the lack of good, and that civilisation was built with increasing forces of good. And, given that evil represents a rebellion against good, and that it is fallen angels who started evil, we can say that, although evil is infinite, good is more powerful than evil, since the Author of good created the spiritual infinity. Likewise, goodness represents the river that has fed and up-brought civilisation.
Humanity has been known to run away from new information at first because of the uncertainty on whether it will uphold their beliefs, which were built over the lifetime in many cases. Remember that, in the Middle Ages, the Catholic Church did not accept the discovery of the round shape of the Earth at first. This would make the same pattern of events in regards to the general level of acceptance of the Big Bang and Evolution scientific theories. I believe people should not avoid new information, but do their due diligence and compare their views and perspective with it. Likewise, can people with religious views now continue to visit their place of worship without the worry that Science may debunk their view?
