About the vacuum, idealism, materialism, time, distance, and matter

(by SGPierzynowski)

I haven't scribbled anything in a while, and I think there's something interesting. Yesterday, my daughter, 9-year-old Karolina, and I saw in "Ilustrerat Vetenskap" that some Americans from California wanted to make something out of nothing. Namely, extract energy from a vacuum—it's simply divine.

But since someone like that once managed to make everything out of nothing in six days (he rested on the seventh day). Why shouldn't Americans succeed?

Jokes aside, this is a serious matter, because the question is whether materialism or idealism prevails.

Let's start ab ovo. Time and distance are connected immaterial entities, meaning ideal, and they can exist in a vacuum—even if it (the vacuum) doesn't exist. But, but, shouldn't there be something in which (the vacuum) has nothing? If something, however, is created in this vacuum, it must be something extraordinary, e.g., a huge boo-boo (big bang), and it was, and we have matter, because time separated from distance, giving birth to matter. The first offspring of this birth of matter were quanta. This was a very long time ago (over 14 billion years ago), and today they (quanta) are probably no longer allowed to exist; other atoms – even gold and carbon – have arisen from them. Unless, of course, these boo-boos are repeated quite often. Either way, there's a problem. Apparently, the world's smartest (physicists) need quanta – because it's so fun to talk about them and complain about them being so unruly (don't let anyone spy on them with impunity), especially when no one can verify it. I feel that Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, in the context of Plank's constant, provides another squaring of the circle, and this with a number that is the circle's most important attribute. Something like adding two "pi" numbers should give an even number, or rather, it doesn't, or maybe it does? Who knows?

In conclusion, idealism is still on the rise.

I guess I'm a bit of a "flat-Earther"—as everyone should be, anyway.
