Here’s something to ponder. Feynman said ‘there is plenty of room, down.’ We exist, in conscious interaction with the universe, at a rather specific size ratio. It is as far down to the smallest manifestations of matter as it is ‘up’ to the greatest manifestations, spatially speaking. We make things to help us improve the resolution of larger and smaller, to bring it to our ratio for comprehension. Why do we not try to do the same with the temporal unresolved? The temporal resolution of our perception is extremely limited, accumulating only past, not even having present available to us, just the recent past. Not one of our devices is calibrated to adjust for better temporal resolution.
Time is a total figment. An illusion. If we were photons we would cross the entire universe instantly. Go ahead, resolve the illusion to a finer degree of instantaneous.
Why can't we "see" or experience the dark stuff about us?
I've got Iain Nicolson's Dark Side of the Universe : Dark Matter, Dark Energy on hold at my library, and I think I'll peruse it before stepping too deeply into this dark morass.
But I sure appreciate you two and others battting it around a bit.
Thanks.
