E = Mc2

Sorry for not having come in and updating this blog for sometime. Diablo 3 just came out on 15th May, and I kinda stopped all activities to fully concentrate on this game. Brings back nostalgic feelings as I played D2 extensively. Hehe. Now that I'm level 60, can relak abit. Lol.

I chanced upon a video about Einstein today. And it talks about his life and his most famous equation : E = Mc2. Now I've heard about this equation a zillion times and never knew what it really meant. But today I finally know, E = Energy, M = mass/matter and C2 = Speed of light x speed of light.

Its so intriguing, as in the video, it talked of Einstein, who, was one day sitting in a train, and wondered what it would be like, if the train he that was sitting on, was traveling at the speed of light. In his vision, to his amazement, on an old famous clock that he was passing by, the hands stood still. It means, that, at the speed of light, time stood still. This is so interesting! Because I remember that I read or heard somewhere, that if you travel faster than the speed of light, time actually goes backwards. This goes to show that space is relative to time.

More interestingly, in Buddha's context, space and time is bendable. They are illusions, and in actual fact, they actually do not exist. He talks about dimensions, and that different dimensions have different time zones. For example, in Hell realm, 1 day, is around human life time. Probably around 70 - 80 years of earth's time. But for the heavens, half a year, is around human time, centuries.

Linking all these up, I suddenly realized that Napoleon Hill's words of vibration of thought was referring to all these! Vibration of thought, actually is also energy. And different vibrations of thought/energy would have produced different images of matter, matter here being constant, but the images varies. And this, in return, created different dimensions as mentioned by the Buddha. If I am not wrong, many scientists have already found out that on earth, there are actually 4 -5 dimensions occurring at the same time. For example, in one of the scriptures, it was written that, we, would see water as liquid, gaseous air and ice. Deity/ Bodhisattva/ Buddha, would on the other hand, see it as crystal. As they say, that the heavens are clad in precious jewels and stones. Ghosts and spirits actually see water as blood. It apparently applies to tastes as well. Now I am beginning to understand why this is so.

Everything that is on earth, is energy and matter (as quoted by Napoleon Hill). Vibrations of thought are essentially energy. E = Mc2.

Means Energy = Matter x Speed of light x speed of light.

If vibrations of thought are energy, and what we see, need light to translate into our eyes in order for our minds to register the picture, then, Matter, which is picture in this sense, would variate, according to the level or type of energy in the vibration of thought, assuming that the speed of light is constant. So if this theory is proven right, then it would only be logical that different people with different vibrations of thought, would have visions that varies from one to another.

Actually this equation can be best seen in Solar Panels. Solar is light, and solar panels transforms light into energy. E = Mc2. We have Energy and C (which is speed of light) in solar panels. As I mention earlier, if C is constant, then E and M will be variant. (And actually M, matter, will be really small in volume.) Since time and space is relative to energy ( E = Mc2 there is energy and speed of light in the equation), and solar energy is mainly transforming light and heat into energy, I would assume that if light can transform into energy, it is actually capturing kinetic energy. And not just light. Because photons (light particles) travels in the speed of light to the solar panel, and the panel captures, not just the particles, but actually, the energy in the speed of light itself, which is kinetic, and transform it into energy stored for later use. If speed of light can be captured, or rode upon, then, as Einstein envisioned, Time can be stopped, slowed down, and even go backwards. So if time can go backwards, then space can be bent as well, since Time and Space are relatives. If Time stops, then Space would change too. So is it possible that a Time Machine lies in the mechanics of Solar Panel? If our mind clear to its purest form, where it returns itself into pure form of energy, would we be able to travel 'faster' then the speed of light, and discover our past lives like many people who do in Vipassana Meditation? Notice that I hypen the word 'faster' as I do not know the relative term for light used here.
All these are just my thoughts and I want to document it down before its gone. Its funny but I'm getting all sorts of 'hunches' nowadays. Its like my mind is opened, and all sorts of information comes in. The world is getting more and more interesting. : D

Interesting footnote: C, which is speed of light, is a huge number. C2, which is Csquared is a even bigger number. Imagine that C2 in E=Mc2 is such a huge number. Can you see how small M (matter) is?
They say that if the Empire Building in New York is being teared down, and the spaces between the atoms are taken out so that only the actual matter remains, it would not be bigger than a grain of rice in the hand!

If you can travel in different time/space, when the speed becomes Speed of Light, then, if this thinking is true, there is someone who can travel constantly in different timeLayer/space, he will be immortal and live forever. But at the mean time he is nothing coz u cannot see him of touch him, but he indeed exists. Is he the God?

Actually this is very interesting question. Apparently Buddhas can go through time and even space/dimensions as they wish. They can be 'faster' then the speed of light or just be the same. And Buddha is considered immortal as in no lifespan, since he has sort of returned to energy in its purest form (mind). I believe I will not be able to touch the energy form, but I believe, that this energy (mind) is so powerful, that if it wanted us to, it will materialize into forms that we can touch too. If we also one day return our mind to the purest energy too, are we considered Gods? Or actually its just law of physics all along? Is this the reason why Buddha have always said, that its essentially empty? Because he knows we are all actually pure forms of energy that are cluttered by impure thoughts? :D

Interesting article, just to share my limited thoughts on 3 things on the energy/mass, vibration of thoughts and time/space
Heart Sutra mention Form is Emptiness, Emptiness is Form; Form does not differ from Emptiness, Emptiness does not differ from Form. I see this as very good equivalent formula to E=MC2. In my limited understanding of Buddhist Form, it carries two meaning. One with mass and thus occupy space, the other means it has the essence of impermanence (that being destroyed or decayed). As Form is due to cause and effect, the mass is a creation of some origin cause (even the universe is that), and the form will eventually return to the emptiness (energy) as result of impermanent effect and vice versa. Thus both are no difference and changeable as in E=MC2.

In Buddhist context, this formula is further elaborated and expanded to include 4 other non-mass (body) components. Form is a physical component but the same formula applies to the other mental components feelings, perceptions, impulses and consciousness. For example, when our feeling component see a external form that is acceptable to our liking, we generate a happy inside energy feeling, or a sad feeling if the form that we see is not what we like. Similarly, an external form will cause energy impact to our perception component and may result in change of behaviour. An impulse is the direction action energy created due to an effect of an external form. And of course the consciousness that is the aggregate of the above will leave an effect of imprint energy and may be cause a karma effect?

Due to cause and effect, different beings has different purity level of the 5 components, thus will have different of thoughts and reaction upon receive the incoming vibration. The pureness of our 5 components will depend on our past actions and cause that result in what we perceive as today. An external form (e.g. some people behaviour) may be seen as crystal behaviour or in contrast drain water behaviour by different beings. This is another way to look at the E=MC2

In the context of time and space, again in my limited view, one Buddhist perspective is to look at the angle of samsara, the cycle of rebirth. The other angle to look at it is impermanence. Let’s talk about the impermanence. In Buddhism, we have this term Ksana that measure the smallest unit of time like e.g. quick arsing/ceasing reflection/moment of thoughts. In one Ksana, we see the form of a beautiful woman e.g. in the mass form, it looks the same as pretty, but there may be many cells in the body that is aging or mutating or disappear into other form of energy. In that time and space context, we interpret E=MC2.

And in the rebirth cycle, the 6 realms, each realm has its own definition of time and space. For e.g. in the hell realm, the suffering is so great that the time stretch out very long in suffering context. And in the heaven realm, the beings are in such deep mediations stage that their time and space is extended long as well in that happiness context. Also some of the heaven realms beings exist in energy form, their space boundary are thus bigger than other realm. And above human realms, the life time span is longer than any realm below human realm (including the human). But all the realms are still bounded within own time and space boundary. This different definition or rather experience of different time and space upon rebirth in different realm is the other way to interpret the time and space.

Then we talk about the Buddha that break through the boundary of the time and space constraints of the 6 realms and achieve the stage or realm of Dharma (Dharmadhatu). In this Dharma realm, the Buddha pure true nature fills the universe constantly and their Dharma body is omnipresent everywhere. In this context, time and space is at different level and no longer has a boundary.
