Holograms and Quantum Tunnelling
After watching the latest Torchwood (the one with the eye) I realised that I have had that experience of leaving this world and everything turning white without recognition of being alive (in addition to other out of body experiences). Currently I think that when we die, the mind is freed from the confines of the brain (and body) via quantum tunnelling. However for the mind or soul to move beyond this point of no return means that we have to be totally dead (not cloned, resusitated, on drugs or frozen, and brought back to life). Our minds may still tunnel when on drugs such as DMT or Ketamine, or when we experience a near death experience but anything we experience is either illusion or untouchable because the mind is not really there. It is like peeking through the keyhole in a door and then being pulled back into reality.
When considering the use of holograms for creating interesting 3D graphics I thought of why things are as they are in 3-dimensional space. It would be interesting to project a 4 dimensional object such as a hypershere or tesseract through a 3 dimensional holographic space and then run it frame by frame in real time. Would this produce the illusions of a 4 dimensional space (and cause time to act temporarily as a fourth axis of space)? Of further interest would by the use of this technique for organic and non-geometric objects of higher dimensions.
Now lets consider time travel and the phenomenon of hyperspace. If we can lift ourselves out of normal space, look down and then enter a different part of our space by traversing a fourth dimension of space then as seen by an observer in three dimensional space we would have travelled instantaneously (or teleported) across space. This mechanism does appear to be both teleportation and a great way of travelling vast distances quickly. So how could it be done?
I believe that the trick lies in a combination of quantum tunnelling, tricking time to act as another dimension of space for a split fragment second and traversing up, out and through three dimensional space before time reasserts itself (with the dimensions rotated perpendicular to each other). Then we can move through the fourth dimension of space (along a different axis) thus effecting a travel along 2 actual dimensions of normal space with the third dimension rolled up. This is time travel but not in the way of travelling to past or future but as a means of getting from A to B a lot faster. There may be implications for past/future time travel too but in relation to parallel universes making it next to impossible to return to exactly where you started.
In essence it is like jumping from one point of a folded sheet of space to another. This would appear as or like quantum tunnelling as the mass appear to pass through thin air and hopefully avoiding the consequences of E=mc squared. A vehicle would in effect be a bubble containing the occupants and the switch of dimensions would act as a trigger causing a new temporary universe to exist inside and protect the occupant from normal space (and from unfriendly universes or void spaces).
Quantum gravity would lead to a science behind this and the barrier (window) between the (visible) universe and outside where different physical laws prevail. If quantum gravity allows us to tunnel through dimensions using physical means (as opposed to the non physical mind) then it would signal a key to unlock the door to dimensions. It is very likely, however, that this door was locked without a physical key to this universe and the barrier is dictated by the observed limits of phenomena such as infinite mass at light speed and the uncertainty principle. These may not exist in the same way on the other side. Also, a theory of quantum gravity matching our other physical laws may not exist because it would describable different physical laws existing in another universe. Finding such laws may make this theory possible.
Now back to holography. It would be great to be able to interact with a 3 dimensional object in real space without any encumbering devices (such as a headset or gloves) and a light projection could by made to make solid or semi-solid objects (smoke to a glass cave). But how could a hard light hologram be created in clear space. Only by stopping the light at pre-programmed points thus creating and impenetrable object. This may only be done in real space by the space-time travel method described above with freezing time in this universe for each beam of light. It may well be easier to download a representation of the mind into a virtual space and interest in an artificial universe ('Matrix'-like environment).
