i am negative mass - socially

08.iiI.1430

as per that post

I behave (and they , the others, behave) exactly like that a pair of particles one with negative mass and the other with positive mass.

I (-ve mass) am attracted to them (+ve mass) but they are repulsed by me and accelerate in the opposite direction.

As normal matter we can only accelerate away from negative mass matter.

So we'd have to force an acceleration towards it to meet it as it accelerates towards us.

all that remains for my money is show the physical equivalent of my social situation.

pneumatically, i could think of a similar situation , first erroneously with God - with the faulty notion that when he draws near to humans (usually via agents) they just run away from him - , then rather with the metaphysical in general. the true or absolute metaphysical, or al-ghayb. people often run away from that towards their own imagined metaphysics.

The logic says negative mass is not impossible (the math of mechanics involving mass < 0 is consistent), but the physics says it is impossible.

But physical law has severe problems.

For starters, mass of the photon is zero whereas i thought that mass is positive / definite / impermeable.

Secondly, physical laws do not account for octual cosmological motions. They do so only by stipulating that 96% of the universe is made of some dark stuff (74% energy, 22% matter) that we cannot see, cannot interact with - save through gravity.

dark matter sounds like another way to label our ignorance of the universe. something occluded (ghayb) right there in nature.

whether it exists or the laws are wrong, it is apparent it must have positive mass.


A photon at rest has mass zero. But in motion, whatever its energy mass, it would deflect off of negative mass, because positive mass values accelerate away from negative mass values.

Instead photonic light permeates / penetrates it rather than bounce off of it. It is deflected towards it (seen in the form of grav. lensing) not away from it.

the main issue is the radiation problem . Despite the fact that it affects electromag radiation gravitationally, we have no means of interacting with this matter (supposing it exists). we cannot detect it, ie bounce something off of it, much less touch or process it.

Given that our photons go right through dark mass if it exists, does this mean no nuclei in dark matter? or much fewer?

Apparently so. Wikipedia text confirms this: most dark matter is apparently nonbaryonic , and light goes through it.

is dark mass the reason our night sky and outer space are black ?

In any case, dark matter does not help me here. There still is no physical negative mass.

moreover negative mass appears even as nonsensical as the idea of negative energy.

yet I exist, and my social situation exists. This means nothing, for my social field is just another hilbert space with another set of symmetries having a number of gauge generators of the symmtry group - it need in no way behave like gravity anymore than color or electroweak charges need behave like gravity. ...

Confucius says

47. 困 K'ouen:
Six at the third place:
This shows a man who is restless and indecisive in times of adversity. At first he wants to push ahead, then he encounters obstructions that, it is true, mean oppression only when recklessly dealt with. He butts his head against a wall and in consequence feels himself oppressed by the wall. Then he leans on things that have in themselves no stability and that are merely a hazard for him who leans on them. Thereupon he turns back irresolutely and retires into his house, only to find, as a fresh disappointment, that his wife is not there. Confucius says about this line:

"If a man permits himself to be oppressed by something that ought not to oppress him, his name will certainly be disgraced. If he leans on things upon which one cannot lean, his life will certainly be endangered. For him who is in disgrace and danger, the hour of death draws near; how can he then still see his wife?" ...

todo: next quantum steps

With the ability to decipher the mathematical outlines of modern matter theory, the next steps are to revisit some recent motivations (1990s) for that endeavour:

- QUIT: explore QUantum Information Theory issues such as
- update to its consequences in computer arch and communication;
- revisit notions of remote entanglement and decoherence on which QUIT is based.
- is "communication" by entanglement/decoherence really channel-less?
- if speed is relativistic, then is it affected by material media like c?
- revisit algorithms of Shor, correction codes , cnot circuits, etc., hopefully better equipped this time 'round.

- GUT: how gauge invariance formalisms lead to the competing unification theories such as quantum loop gravity, symmetry breaking and string , membrane and M theories.

It is also time the satirist's history of quantum mechanics was revisited. ... Read more

Visiting the animals at the zoo

I could watch dozens of hours of David Attenborough documentaries sampling pictures of hundreds of fascinating nothing short of the psychedelic creatures that populate or once populated our big blue marble. it would be nothing however like walking up to the animals and see them live, up close, being in their presence.

Being close to those sad majestic odes to beauty and perfection, to their innocence, their beauty their very unhuman shapes sizes colors and demeanour is an experience of mystical proportions to those who can appreciate it, even at a sad place like the zoo.

Exchanging looks with a giraffe, or a llama or dromadary; watching ruminates approach the fence in expectation of a snack; watch parakeets talk among themselves, watching a parrot with fanstastic plummage yawn are all the stuff of fantasy and dreams.

At the zoo, especially in my nook of the woods, however there are other distressing scenes. There was a lion crying, (crying if he is anything like my cat when he cries) imprisoned and pacing in his outer cage to entertain by his mere presence people under the blare of loudspeakers pouring the most obnoxious popular music from the vendors kiosks 5 meters from the fence. This was one of my saddest moments at the zoo.

It is unfortunate this contrast between the glorious feelings I get from being in proximity to such life forms and the inevitable sadness that attends one's entry into any zoo. The story of kidnap and captivity and then being kept for life in poor and highly abusive conditions.

It would be nice to take kids up close to the animals , in the safety afforded by the zoo. But what of the moral responsibility and inescapable guilt and sadness?

I would think of it like taking them to a very special shrine, but in a very dilapidated area. I still think the trip to the zoo is worth it.

I find wonder in the height of the giraffe, the intricate musculature of the dromadary, who ironically approaches in resemblance the computer-generated movies of dinosaurs, in the patient resignation of the pelicans in the searching gaze of a llama or a peacock, or the familial atmosphere in a parakeet house.

Wonder like that to be found when one sits under a few trees, and looks up at the canopy of branches and leaves above, long enough to weep at their beauty, their gentle but unremitting complexity, at the subtlety of their creator. ... Read more

la situation est telle que quelqu'un doté de bonnes qualités les néglige. Personne ne se soucie de lui et par suite il se dégrade intérieurement. Il s'associe à des hommes inférieurs et ne peut plus accomplir d'œuvre de valeur. ... Read more
