The Evolution of Space and Time

The dawn of eternity begins with each new day. And everything from the past to the future evolves in its own way. But nothing in the entire Universe is isolated. Everything is affected by everything else in some way.

It all evolves with interrelated goals until total relief of those forces is achieved. The Universe is controlled by forces we, on Earth, have only begun to understand.

We have yet to fully understand quantum mechanics, relativity theory, or the single entity of space and time. Even chaos theory is open for discussion and understanding, but may very well be the end result in eternity.

Everything we experience in our little corner of space and in our small segment of time, is just a small part of the entire picture. It goes without saying that we are part of the puzzle. Things on Earth are different because we are here. It's very possible that things in the outer limits of the Universe are also modified with every move we make.

We cannot measure or analyze anything without changing the outcome. So there is no way we will ever completely understand the actual reality of our world.

A good example is something I learned in my old college engineering days.When connecting test equipment to electronic circuits to test their functionality, the fact that a voltmeter, for example, is connected to a circuit will change the function of the circuit. The circuit's new function is now related to the voltmeter being involved. It's a different animal, so to say.

Everything and everyone is different due to everything and everyone else that exists. Every single element in the Universe is interrelated to one another. This is so with our minds as well as physical objects. We relate to one another in such as way that only a complex algorithm can define. And we continue to struggle with our misconceptions and misunderstandings.

I remember a game we used to play when I was a kid that provides a good example of what I mean about how people can so easily misunderstand one another.

When we were children we used to play a game called telephone where one person would whisper a story to another. And they in turn would quietly repeat the story to the next person, on and on until the last person repeats the story to the entire group. More often than not, the final repetition of the story is completely different. It has absolutely nothing to do with the original.

The same is true for evolution. All species on Earth keep changing as our genes are passed on from one generation to the next. Those genes just can't repeat the story without adding some confusion or misinterpretation into the puzzle. The goal is survival of the fittest. We are nothing like what life was like when it began, as single celled organisms. We've come a long way. I think even I have more than one or two cells in my brain at this point in time.

Okay, even humor evolved. Maybe in some cases it degenerated. But that is all part of chaos theory. The way I see it, eventually all matter and all energy of the Universe will be in total disorder with maximal complexity. I think that leaves nothing left to cause changes. Disorder is a total balance of everything. It's all aligned with no struggles to pull apart or combine together. It's perfect happiness, the end result of the evolution of space time continuum.
