Given that space is at an average temperature of 3 kelvin, and understanding the properties of super fluidity and super conductivity when nearing absolute zero. Wouldn’t it be possible that the speed of light is variable depending on where it is in the universe?
So far we have yet been able to observe a photon up close behaving as a wave in the old wave-particle duality trick. I believe that this is because of our instruments or free radicals cause too much interference with the photon, prohibiting it from being in a complete state of mechanical energy. I also believe we do not need to be at absolute zero to achieve a close up look, but much closer than a billionth of a kelvin. However, given these difficulties, wouldn’t this be proof that photons have a variable speed? If this is true, what we have measured would surely be slower than say the darkest pockets of deep space where only a fraction of the big bang radiation can penetrate. It would be far colder than a billionth of a kelvin and the speed of a photon would be much faster as its super fluidity has increased. While here on earth the photon would be perceive it as 299,792,458 m/s due to warming up a tiny bit. Any inkling of change can alter our calculations that our instruments may not be able to read. Now what about the vacuum of space you might ask, well you still need to realize that space is still full of stuff. Not just matter in a sense, but gravitational, electromagnetism, strong, and weak nuclear forces. All these things can have an effect on the photon at near or far from absolute zero. Given this possibility, the “speed limit” of the speed of light might be superficial and only apply to our local neighborhood, galaxy, or solar system. As far as I know I don’t think we could test the speed of light through observatories, the best we have is CERN or SNO. Our perception of outer space or even this dimension could change forever.
I think I need to ask my super hero Michio Kaku to explain to me where and why I am wrong with my theory.
I haven’t posted non-Japan stuff in awhile. Being this is a blog relating to all personal experiences, I think it’s time to post something different. Here is a video I believe everyone should watch all the way through. This video expresses some of my views better than I could myself.
At around age fourteen something dawned on me that the direction I was being lead into was wrong. I started thinking about the universe; what it’s made up of and how it worked. I questioned religion, testing it, poking holes in it. It maybe thanks to all those NOVA specials I watched at 1 am when I was a younger, but I had an epiphany moment on the humble concept of infinity. I remember sitting in bed for hours working it out, comparing it with everything. The sun rose just before I had a nice sum up in my head, but I was still lacking words to describe it. It took me a month to break it down for others to understand, I was disappointed by how I was forced to say it; “Fore every positive there is a negative.” I despised this. It did not encompass what I understood. Eventually over the years I refined it. Today I still do not like how it’s phrased, but this is about as simple as I can make it without getting confused faces from people. “There can not be nothing without something. Thus everything is, was, and ever will be. There is no change, and change.” However the idea I had come to love and use in my views and explanations was still missing something. I realized I did not grasp the concept fully. It’s like knowing what an apple looks, tastes, feels, smells, and sounds like, but not putting all those senses together to form the apple in your mind. We all know words can not truly describe infinity. The word itself restricts its own meaning.
This lack of concept drove me nuts for years, and even made me depressed at times. I spent much of my idling thinking about it. In late summer of 2008 I was driving home from college in a very good mood when I started thinking about my infinity concept. I remember passing a field and looking up at the sky and seeing the first stars of the night. The instant my gaze laid on those stars the realization hits me. The thought was only a faction of a moment, but it felt as if hours have passed. My mind was completely clear, everything made sense and was chaos. I visualized, in a sense, infinity for what it really is. It terrified and fascinated me. I was in a state of complete euphoria and I stayed like that for almost three days. It took me nine years to figure it all out. Nothing has come close to challenging it, not even the slightest. I only wish I could feel that infinity again. It completely change my life.
Need sleep, slept not yet, doritos good. doritos goooooooooood. time for my daily vitamin c. green tea. I need to pee. feels like a matinee. 15 hrs ago
