Is spacetime complete? Hawking and Ellis, chapter 8. Hawking & Ellis Is god complete? All ancients would say yes, god is eternally all that is possible. Moderns might have trouble with this
[page 124]
from the point of view of Gödel's theorem. Incompleteness may be the basis of time, the incompleteness of the universe driving it to evolve. But if we integrate over all time, can we encompass the whole divine 'event' with spacetime. Interesting question that carries us from cosmology to the structure of noetic space, our principal interest.
Does theory of communication impose the cosmology that we see?

Still trying to see how General Relativity is the framework of god. The only constraint on our model of god is consistency. Having seeded the garden with the natural numbers ( = set theory+?) we have grown Cantor space. Now we have to look at our new plants
[page 125]
and see if we can spot GR in them. But this might be a bit far down the track. Perhaps we should not start from Einstein, but from Emmy Noether, symmetry, abstract algebra etc.
Tree/root -> permutation.
Physics studies god's body.
Conservation law = first integral (Noether, Byers 3) Byers
The general relativity thing is being a bit of a snag. Why is god's body shaped as it is? Why is my body shaped as it is?
In shaping, first we consider the plasticity available (the space) and then we consider the design. So we want to go from Cantor Space to physics. In other words, what CONSTRAINTS (SYMMETRIES) are acting on the transfinite network to give us the universe we know?
We POSTULATE that all such constraints
[page 126]
are consequences of consistency. How do we apply this notion to get general relativity?
We approach by the most general route, symmetry. What we are saying is that a transfinite consistent system will look like our universe.
Why are there parts in the Whole?
Why are there symmetries in the dynamism? (eg all vehicles use a limited size range of bolts and nuts)
Model Symmetry
Model Knowledge
Solving mindspace and physical space problems with bullets is aesthetically repulsive.
The structure of god is driven by beauty and necessity tempered by the transfinite space of possibility.
[page 127]
Is the Cantor God closed? No. But we can nevertheless enclose it in a set as a definite and separate meaning: God = {whatever god means} = recursive definition = general relativity.
INTELLECT/WILL duality

Love (will) desire = downhill = lower potential
POTENTIAL is opposed by ENTROPY
Gibb's function G = H -TS.
Sometimes I think that I am too stupid to go on and that I should leave this job to someone more intelligent, but at least I seem to be motivated. The will is there and the intelligence comes drop by drop.

| Hawking, Steven W, and G F R Ellis, The Large Scale Structure of Space-Time , Cambridge UP 1975 Preface: Einstein's General Theory of Relativity ... leads to two remarkable predictions about the universe: first that the final fate of massive stars is to collapse behind an event horizon to form a 'black hole' which will contain a singularity; and secondly that there is a singularity in our past which constitutes, in some sense, a beginning to our universe. Our discussion is principally aimed at developing these two results.' Amazon back |

| Nina Byers E. Noether's Discovery of the Deep Connection Between Symmetries and Conservation Laws Abstract: Emmy Noether proved two deep theorems, and their converses, on the connection between symmetries and conservation laws. ... The present paper in an historical account of the circumstances in which she discovered and proved these theorems which physicists refer to collectively as Noether's Theorem. The work was done soon after Hilbert's discovery of the variational principle which gives the field equations of general relativity. The failure of local energy conservation was a problem that concerned people at that time, among them David Hilbert, Felix Klein and Albert Einstein. Noether's theorems solved this problem. With her characteristically deep insight and through analysis, in solving the problem she discovered very general theorems that have profoundly influenced modern physics. back |
