I asked questions to Time and Space(20)

In the chapter 9,Stephen Hawking advanced the idea that the condition ”no edge” and the weak anthropic principle can explain together why the three arrows point in the same direction.The psychological arrow is determined by the thermodynamic arrow.These two arrows point necessarily in the same direction so that the conditions be acceptable for the development of the intelligent beings who can ask the question : why the disorder grows in the same direction of that which the universe dilates?

For the second principle of thermodynamic arrow,there are always more disordered states than the ordered states.For example,consider the pieces of a puzzle in a box : there is only one arrangement for which the pieces will form a complete picture.On the other side, there are a very large number of arrangements in which the pieces of puzzle can be in disorder and represent nothing.

And this universe is believed by scientists to be in expansion because the american astronomer Edwin Hubble discovered that the more galaxies are distant and pale, the more galaxies move away from us.But in this situation,Stepehn Hawking considered that our universe is in disorder while expanding,just as a water glass fallen from the table and was broken into pieces going in all directions.

We are in the time of disorder(expansion),but if we are in the time of contraction,we can see the pieces of water glass coming back together to form a water glass as it was before being fallen and broken.

I asked questions to Time and Space(17)

Although I don’t really know what or who you are,oh,Time,but many people see in you as an entity having a power on all beings such as humans because you often give them an opportunity or a luck in their life.But some other people rather than asking for your help,they ask for help from the the sky and the earth that they consider as entiies having surnatural power.The lovers often asked the earth and sky to be witness of their love.This is because people think you are not kind to them and sometimes because of you,they have short life such a thai proverb saying as the following :

อย่าให้เวลามากำหนดชีวิตของคุณ(Don’t let the time determine your life).At this point,I consider you as an amazing entity with surnatural power as same as gods.Furthermore,you have many virtues and kindness toward all beings on earth.But at one point,without you,they will be frozen!

I asked questions to Time and Space(16)

Oh!Time do you dwell in the watch and clock? People can change you twice a year.But you and Space are omnipresent! I mean you are not confined in the watch or clock but you are present everywhere in the Universe!

Time change today12 march 2023 at 2:00AM(setting one hour forward now and in november backward in our watch or clock) in all Canadian provinces ,except the province Saskatchewan and the territory Yukon because people living there don’t like the time change.Personally,I don’t like the time change,it’s annoying though it may be an advantage economically or politcally.In the the world,the time change affect only 1.6 billions of population; the rest(about 6.4billions) do not get affected.

Why is there time change ?The Canada pratice this since world war I and it seems to have an advantage when seeing that the Germany

do this to get more productions for its ambitions to become the world superpower.

But today,many people see the time change as annoying or as a trouble affecting their daily activities or their health.

As more and more people see this time change as annoying,a U.S bill was first proposed in 2018 but failed to get through both chambers of Congress and then last March it installed in the House without a vote.

U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio last week reintroduced the Sunshine Protection Act that would allow states to make daylight time permanent.

If passed, the law would have knock-on effects across Canada with provinces including British Columbia and Ontario waiting on neighbouring U.S. states to ditch the time change before they do so too.

University of British Columbia business professor Werner Antweiler says the latest version of the bill has bipartisan backing and if it passes, B.C.’s time change at 2 a.m. Sunday morning may be its last.

I asked questions to Time and Space(15)

Some people used to ask me :do you have time?They wanted to know what time it is or do I have a watch?If I say yes,they will ask :what time is it?But sometimes, they asked the question : do you have time? just to know if you have free time? so that you can do something for them.

Oh Time!,people can have you in a watch or in a pocket like money:they even said in a proverb that « time is the money ».

But I feel you are nowhere : I don’t really see you, I don’t really feel you,I don’t really smell you, I don’t really hear you.However,do you exist?If so,where are you?If Space is always with you,and Space is omnipresent,you are also omnipresent.Anyway,how do I know you exist?

Plato said that you are the number of movement of an object: the fact that the earth is rotating around itself for 1 round,we call it a day,and around the sun for 1 round,we call it a year.This is you. you were divided into seconds,minutes,hours,days,weeks,months,years,decades,centuries and milleniums.So if all the objects in the Universe have no movement,that means you do not exist!

I asked questions to the Time and Space(14)

Oh!Time,I am not sure about your existence.But I am neither sure about your non-existence.Does this mean I am not sure about the existence of Space also?How come scientists talked about the traveling in the Time ,but not in the Space? besides, they said that both of you are inseparable?They even believed that it is possible to go to the past or to go to the future? Is that possible,oh!Time and Space?

That is an amazing idea,but more and more people believe it is possible and scientists have even imagined of creating a spaceship to travel in the Time to go back to the past or to the future.I cannot imagine how this idea should be possible.At that point,I wonder if you exist.

Oh! Time, you go around and around: starting from Monday to Tuesday…Friday,Saturday,Sunday and then came back to Monday which continues…and then goes to Friday,Saturday,Sunday again…again endlessly .That is for what purpose?Is this world strange to me while I asked you all these questions?

If both of you do not exist,where can be everything in the Universe?But is that you,the origin or the parents of everything?though you are not the creator.But the creator was believed by people to be the Supreme Being or God.And God has no origin nor end because God is not relative to Time and Space.

I asked questions to the Time and Space(13)

Oh! Time,people value you more than Space and have a lot of things to say about you,but they don’t know that you are always with space in all circumstances:you are inseparable from Space.

One thing that they value you rather than Space is that Time is money.But they complain about you too,for exemple,they say that you are walking too fast,and others say that you are walking too slowly .Some people are even angry with you because they are very impatient.

People often asked each other:do they have you?as if they asked :do they have money in their pocket?

Sometimes,they considered you as water that is flowing far away without coming back.They also regret that you are passing (lapsing)without giving them anything.Sometimes,they pray your forgiveness and asked you for an opportunity.But some others pray that you passes faster so that they forget what that have badly happened to them.And when they see their old photos they feel soon nostalgic about you : you were caught in their photos.

Singers Nop Payarith and Sokun Nisa sang a song with the title :You,because you are just as famous as them.

Because of you,the lovers meet and fall in love with each other.You have great virtues towards them.That is why they sing the song to thank you.

Another big advantage is that because of you,the plants and animals evolve or prosper, but everything grows up from young age to old age and then finally to death.

I asked questions to the Time and Space(12)

But many people said that both of you,Time and Space are eternal and immortal : You have no beginning nor end.However some people even said they killed time by doing something to not think of you,and some others said they immortalized or stopped you in a photo.But these are nonsense; it is jus an imagination or an impression,right?As you are always together,if one of you are killed,the other,too,is killed.I feel bizarre as i addressed you as persons.But this just because nobody really knows what are the Time and Space.You are not the living things,nor object.

Now,I go to explore you in the Black hole,to see whether both of you are there too.

They said that the black hole is the prison for light.The gravity is extremely strong that nothing can escape.It has a property that deform both of you(Time and Space) and the physical laws do not work in the black hole.Nobody can see the center of the black hole,but the mathematicians explored the black hole with the theory of general relativity of Einstein and knew about the strange effects occuring near the border of the black hole and in its center where the matter collapsed into a singularity,the infinitely tiny point with infinite density.Some caculations indicated that the black holes would be the door to other universes.

And what is the singularity(of the black holes)?There are two types of singularity: one of the stationnary black hole,the other one is of the rotating black hole.in The black hole,the time and space are extremely curved,creating the singularity where they disappeared:They cease to exist,as they do at the beginning of the Big Bang’s explosion.

I asked questions to the Time and Space(11)

The astronomy told that the Big Bang is the beginning of everything:time, space and the construction of the elementary blocks of matter in the universe.The Great Cosmic Clock started 13 billion years ago in a ball of fire so concentrated that matter and ani-matter were created spontaneously from the energy. Then it began to expand and cool down, which it continues to do today.

But I wonder that anything that exists need a space to be where it should be.So don’t we see the Big Bang as something?Is it an energy(an enormous energy)?If space is not there,time is not there,where could it be?

And it said also that the pre-Big Bang does not exist because the time does not exist.But time and space have always been intimately linked in what Einstein called the space-time continuum:

Where there is time, there is space.So when the space was created,the time began to flow.

If the present Universe came from the previous one,So the first of all,came from what? an energy too? But this first energy,where did it come from?and why?

Martin Heidegger a German philosopher of 20th century asked a question related to the beginning of the Univerese as the following:why is there something rather than nothing? But at the beginning,there was nothing?If so,there will be always nothing until now!”Nothing” cannot create something!To his question,the answer is that there is always something in the universe forever,and even the immaterial things (that are infinte and are not in space-time) exist independantly of time and space. And as they did not exist in space and time,they have no beginning nor end.So,the first Big Bang should came from the outside because there was no inside!

I asked questions to the Time and Space(10)

Plato compares the well-functioning soul to an ideal society or a state that has three parts or classes : (1) the philosopher king who governs the society; (2) the guardians who keep order and defend the society (3) the ordinary citizens,farmers,merchants and craftworkers who provide the society material needs.The philosopher king represents the intellect,the guardians represent the will and the ordinary citizens the appetite.Plato’s ideal society resembles a well-functioning soul because the philosopher king controls the citizens with the aid of the guardians.

Plato believed that the soul is immortal and eternal : when the body dies and disintegrates,the soul continues to live forever.After the death of the body,the soul migrates to what he called the realm of the pure forms. There it exists without a body,contemplating the forms.After a time,the soul is reincarnated in another body and returns to the world.But the reincarnated soul retains a dim recollection of the realm of forms and yearns for it.If the soul could avoid the reincarnation( thus avoid the sufferings),that’s because it has a chance(the last) to go to exist forever in the realm of pure forms.Plato argued that people fall in love because they recognize in the beauty of their beloved the ideal form of beauty that they dimly remember and seek.The soul experienced in the realm of forms before being reincarnated in another body to return to the world. Plato argued that learning consists of recalling what the soul experienced in the realm of forms.

The forms,unlike living organisms,are not born and do not die.Unlike stars and atoms,they do not move about in space.Unlike the familiar physical objects that surround us,they do not get hot or cold,large or smaller and so on.So,the forms are not changing objecst .They are immutable and immortal and exist independantly of our apprehending them.They do not need us to exist.For that reason,the soul loves them and yearns for them.that’s why the soul thinks or reasons in order to recall all the forms that it contemplated in the realm of forms and thus to perfect itself.

And also we have the reason why the soul falls in love of pure forms that are incorruptible and exist as the good, the just and the beautiful.As a matter of fact,nobody does not love the good,the just and the beautiful.Anyone who loves them,will yearn for them.And in yearning for them,he will search for them.But in searching for them,he need to think or to reason first.By thinking or reasoning,he can find the truth and to perfect himself with vision of the good,the just and the beautiful so that finally he can return to the world of the truth

This world or Universe,according to the Hindusim,is only the shadow of the truth.

I asked questions to the Time and Space(9)

In addition,individual things only imperfectly approximate their forms,which remain unattainable models of perfection.Circular objects or beautiful objects are never perfectly circular or perfectly beautiful.The only perfectly circular is the form of circularity itself,and the only perfectly beautiful thing is the form of beauty.

Plato concluded that these unchanging and perfect form cannot be part of everyday world,which is changing and imperfect.Forms exist neither in Space nor Time.They can be known only by the intellect,not by the senses.

So it is clear that everything that can be known by the senses is only in this visible(material) world.Our body can be known by the senses whereas our soul cannot be known by them.The soul joins with the body ,but is not chained up in the Space-Time as the body.The soul has a nature different from the body because the soul is immaterial..The body changes but the soul does not.That’s why the soul was generally described as immortal and eternal being who thinks whereas the body does not.The body is attached to the material needs but it is dominated and commanded by the soul whose function is to reason(think).

Plato divided the soul into three parts :(1 )the rational part or intellect ;(2)the will and (3) the appetite or desire.

We know the soul has these parts,because they sometimes conflict with each other; for example a person may desire something but fights with the desire with the power of the will.In a properly functioning soul,the intellect (the highest part) should control the appetite (the lowest part) with the aid of the will.
