<If the analogy of time and space is accurate, then it would also be true that the properties that we see in space should be reflected in time.> Yea, I guess I don't see where time has any meaning... it's a measurement/concept we made up to measure changes in space... we humans noticed certain factors change in predictable ways and we labeled it time. Nothing wrong with "time"... I mean we also label "space" as things we notice... then when those things change and we want to talk about them we need "time" in order to do so. So yes, of course is made up of properties in space.... changing. <Time, however, does seem to consume the future in a steady pace.> Meaning that the space we perceive and are tuned to seems to change at a steady pace... < I can speculate that maybe uncertainty is more uniformly distributed across the universe and not affected by gravity the way time and mass are, but that just confirms that there is a difference between magnitudes of uncertainty and masses of particles. > I guess I don't understand "uncertainty"... wouldn't it be affected by the laws of physics and chemistry in that uncertainty would reside where physics and chemistry dictate... near the "phase transitions" of systems... but not so much in the middle of a chemical cascade for example??? <I still think there is value in studying the singularity of "now", but it's not as simple as my initial epiphany led me to hope for.> I wouldn't be so sure... I think meditators basically are "studying the singularity"... our minds work much like a chemical system... if you have a goal picked out and are on a mission A-->B-->C and your mind essentially flows towards the goal on automatic, most things one does from noticing things at the grocery to making plans for vacation can be dictated by a future goal... on the other hand the goal of meditation is to ride the present... stay on the top of the phase transition and not choose which way to go yet... but wait and watch... to notice the singularity unfolding and move so as to stay on top of the system, rather than tumble down one way or the other.
