Entropy (the number of degrees of freedom) is, in ultimate analysis, the number of dimensions.
Space is 3-dimensional and thus is the entropic component of spacetime.
Time is 1-dimensional and thus is the negentropic component of spacetime.

In accordance with the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum_total_potential_energy_principle minimum total potential energy principle], spacetime evolves towards the state of the minimum gravitational potential energy. 
The gravitational potential energy of a many-particle system, such as the universe, is a function of the particles' spatial separation. 
Therefore, spacetime evolves from the state of pure space (entropy) to the state of pure time (negentropy, information). 
Time is 1-dimensional, which means that in the end of the universe's evolution, all protons will be interconnected by electrons serially, so that the ultimate number of bits of information will be equal to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddington_number the total number of the protons] (~ 10'''79'''). This evolution passes in the form of the informational progress of mankind:

<blockquote>
Thermodynamic entropy and Shannon entropy are conceptually equivalent: the number of arrangements that are counted by Boltzmann entropy reflects the amount of Shannon information one would need to implement any particular arrangement. The two entropies have two salient differences, though. First, the thermodynamic entropy used by a chemist or a refrigeration engineer is expressed in units of energy divided by temperature, whereas the Shannon entropy used by a communications engineer is in bits, essentially dimensionless. That difference is merely a matter of convention. Even when reduced to common units, however, typical values of the two entropies differ vastly in magnitude. A silicon microchip carrying a gigabyte of data, for instance, has a Shannon entropy of about 10'''10''' bits (one byte is eight bits), tremendously smaller than the chip's thermodynamic entropy, which is about 10'''23''' bits at room temperature. This discrepancy occurs because the entropies are computed for different degrees of freedom. A degree of freedom is any quantity that can vary, such as a coordinate specifying a particle's location or one component of its velocity. The Shannon entropy of the chip cares only about the overall state of each tiny transistor etched in the silicon crystal—the transistor is on or off; it is a 0 or a 1—a single binary degree of freedom. Thermodynamic entropy, in contrast, depends on the states of all the billions of atoms (and their roaming electrons) that make up each transistor. As miniaturization brings closer the day when each atom will store one bit of information for us, the useful Shannon entropy of the state-of-the-art microchip will edge closer in magnitude to its material's thermodynamic entropy. When the two entropies are calculated for the same degrees of freedom, they are equal. [Bekenstein, Jacob.

Eschaton: /* The end of the world */

==The physical mechanism of the end of the world==
Photons falling into a gravitational field become more energetic and exhibit a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blueshift blueshifting].<ref>Nemiroff, R. J. ♦ [http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/htmltest/gifcity/nslens_math.html Gravitational principles and mathematics] ''American Journal of Physics'', 61, 619 (1993)</ref>
Every proton has a mass and thus is a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_well gravitational well] gradually blueshifting its own [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matter_wave matter wave]. Eventually, the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compton_wavelength Compton wavelength] (the radius) of the proton will shrink below the [http://www.daviddarling.info/encyclopedia/P/Planck_length.html Planck length], at which point the universe will come to an end:
<blockquote>
It is interesting to note that at a time ''n = N'' the Planck length will have grown to a size such that ''L'''P''' = λ'''p'''''. (Or conversely, in the cosmological frame, the proton wavelength will have shrunk below the Planck length). The implications of this equality for the ultimate fate of the Universe will be revisited in Section 4. [Booth, Robin ♦ [http://arxiv.org/PS_cache/gr-qc/pdf/0106/0106007v2.pdf#page=12&view=FitV Machian General Relativity] p. 12]
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
In Section 3 we saw that at a time ''n = N'' (where ''n'' is the time in atomic time units, and ''N'' is the baryon number of the Universe), the evolution of the Universe reaches a state at which the Planck length is equal to the Compton wavelength of the proton. In other words, the scale factor of the Universe has evolved to the point where the radius of the proton exceeds the Schwarzschild radius corresponding to the proton mass. At this point the Universe effectively comes to an end as all protons simultaneously collapse into micro black holes.
[[http://arxiv.org/PS_cache/gr-qc/pdf/0106/0106007v2.pdf#page=16&view=FitV Ibidem] p. 16]
</blockquote>

==The current size of the proton versus the Planck length==
The radius of the proton experimentally determined by [http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/physics/laureates/1961/hofstadter-bio.html Robert Hofstadter] is 7.4 × 10'''−16''' m:
<blockquote>
In the latter part of 1954 it was first realized that the experiments on hydrogen demonstrated that the proton was an object of finite size and not merely a point object. In fact, the size was found to be surprisingly large and could be described in terms of a root-mean-square radius of value (0.74 ± 0.24) × 10'''−13''' cm. [Hofstadter, Robert ♦ [http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/physics/laureates/1961/hofstadter-lecture.pdf#page=12&view=FitV Nobel Lecture], p. 12]
</blockquote>
[http://www.nature.com/naturejobs/2008/080515/full/nj7193-424a.html Craig Hogan] has discovered (and the discovery has been preliminarily [http://www.scribd.com/doc/15765052/Our-World-May-Be-a-Giant-Hologram confirmed by GEO600 experiments]), that '''since the birth of the universe, the protons have shrunk relatively to the Planck length by a factor of ten quadrillion (1016)''':
<blockquote>
At very small scales, physicists have long thought that the smoothness of space disintegrates into quantum fluctuations. This is expected to occur at the so-called Planck length, 1.6 × 10'''−35''' metres, or one one hundred millionth of a trillionth of the size of a proton. If the universe is truly a hologram, says Hogan, the Planck length still applies, but only on the two-dimensional surface that is our actual reality. The projection of this reality into the third dimension means the Planck length is blurred in one direction to a larger size—more like 10'''−19''' metres, or one ten thousandth the size of a proton. [Semeniuk, Ivan ♦ [http://www.di.utoronto.ca/journalist/myblog/?p=347/index.1#page;http:/www.di.utoronto.ca/journalist/myblog/?p=347 Welcome to Flatland]]
</blockquote>
The [http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/242490/gravitational-radius Schwarzschild radius] of the Planck mass is twice the Planck length.<ref>Zizzi, Paola ♦ [http://www.mindspring.com/%7Enoetic.advanced.studies/Zizzi-01.pdf Spacetime at the Planck Scale] ''"The Schwarzschild radius, when calculated for the Planck mass, is twice the Planck length. As the Schwarzschild radius of this object is bigger than its size, thus the object is a black hole."''</ref> Thus, the current radius of the proton is only five thousand times bigger than the Schwarzschild radius of the Planckian black hole. Gravitational collapse is autocatalytic—the more blueshifted and massive the protons become, the faster they collapse. Therefore, '''the protons are currently shrinking faster than ever before in the whole history of the universe''', and a five-thousand-fold decrease in the radius of the proton relatively to the [http://www.daviddarling.info/encyclopedia/P/Planck_length.html Planck length] will take a very short time.

==The universe as a gravitoelectric drainage system==
The universe is an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autopoiesis autopoietic] gravitational field—the physicist Bauer [''Phys. Z.'', 19 (1918), 163] showed that simple adoption of polar coordinates, instead of Euclidean ones, creates a gravitational force of infinite energy.<ref>Pauli, Wolfgang ♦ [http://books.google.com/books?id=7xrL7h10XkQC&pg=176#v=twopage&q&f=false Theory of Relativity] Pergamon Press (1958); p.p. 176, 177</ref>
<blockquote>
General relativity predicts that gravitational radiation should exist and propagate as a wave at the speed of light. To avoid confusion, we should point out that a slowly evolving source for a weak gravitational field will produce, according to general relativity, similar effects to those we might expect from Newtonian gravitation. In particular, a slowly evolving Coulomb component of a gravitational field should not be confused with a possible additional radiation component; see Petrov classification. Nonetheless, any of the Petrov-type gravitational field obeys the principle of causality, so that the slowly evolving "Coulomb component" of the gravitational field can not transfer information about position of the source of the gravitational field faster than the speed of light. [[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Speed_of_gravity&oldid=383309603#Background Speed of gravity] Wikipedia]
</blockquote>
Thus, the universe's gravitational field is subdivided into the Newtonian [http://encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/Gravitoelectric+field gravitoelectric field], whose intensity is below the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck_constant Planck constant], and the Einsteinian [http://encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/Gravitomagnetic+field gravitomagnetic field], whose intensity is above the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck_constant Planck constant].

The [http://encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/Gravitoelectric+field gravitoelectric field] is not quantized into any real particles, because its intensity is below the smallest quantum of action—the Planck constant. Thus, the gravitoelectric field of the universe is virtual information, also known as the ''quantum gravitational potential'' or the ''quantum potential'',<ref>Chatterjee, Pradip Kumar ♦ [http://arxiv.org/abs/physics/0509219 Theory of Quantum Gravity of photon confirms experimental results of a varying fine structure constant while Quantum Mechanics leads to String theory] ''"In essence,Quantum Mechanics includes quantum gravitational potential in the guise of quantum potential."''</ref> instantaneously interconnecting all matter of the universe. Since the intensity of this instantaneous action at a distance is below the Planck constant, it cannot transmit information in quantized (discrete) form:
<blockquote>
The basically new features of the quantum theory come mainly from the new properties of the quantum potential. Of these, one of the most important is that this potential is related to the Schroedinger wavefunction in a way that '''it does not depend on the intensity of the waves but only on the form'''. This implies that the Schroedinger wave does not act like, for example, a water wave on a floating object to push the particle mechanically with a force proportional to its intensity. Rather, a better analogy would be to a ship on automatic pilot guided by radar waves. The ship with its automatic pilot is a self-active system, but '''the form of its activity is determined by the information content''' concerning its environment carried by the radar waves. '''This latter is independent of the intensity of these waves (as long as they can be received by the equipment available) but depends only on their form''', which in turn reflects the form of the environment. <...> Even at distances so great that the wave intensity is small, the trajectory of the particle can strongly reflect distant features of the environment. <...> At first sight, it seems that such a non-local connection, that can produce a kind of instantaneous contact of distant particles would violate the theory of relativity, which requires that no signal can be transmitted faster than light. It is possible to show, however, that the quantum potential cannot be used to carry a signal, i.e., that it could not constitute a well-ordered series of impulses that could transmit a well-defined meaning. [Bohm, David ♦ [http://www.urigeller.com/bohm1.htm A new theory of the relationship of mind and matter]]
</blockquote>
The [http://encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/Gravitoelectric+field gravitoelectric field] (the quantum potential) of a many-particle system is a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonlocality nonlocal] common pool of information, also known as a [http://www.answers.com/topic/wavefunction wavefunction].<ref>[http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/qm-bohm/#qp Bohmian Mechanics] Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy ♦ ''"... the quantum potential need not be mentioned in the formulation of Bohmian mechanics and in any case is merely a reflection of the wave function, which Bohmian mechanics does not add to but shares with orthodox quantum theory."''</ref> Since the intensity of a wavefunction is below the Planck constant, which can be construed as the threshold of logical analyzability (there are no quanta below the Planck constant, so there are no parts to analyze into), it cannot be perceived logically. A wavefunction is an intuitively perceived [http://www.thefreedictionary.com/gestalt Gestalt]:
<blockquote>
Secondly, in a many-particle system, the interaction of the particles may be thought of as depending on a common pool of information belonging to the system as a whole, in a way that is '''not analyzable in terms of pre-assigned relationships between individual particles'''. This may be illustrated in terms of the phenomenon of superconductivity. Now, at ordinary temperatures, electrons moving inside a metal are scattered in a random way by various obstacles and irregularities in the metal. As a result, there is a resistance to the flow of electric current. At low temperatures, however, the electrons move together in an organized way, and can therefore go around such obstacles and irregularities to re-form their pattern of orderly movement together (see Illustration 1). Thus they are not scattered, and therefore the current can flow indefinitely without resistance.

[[Image:Superconducting_current_flowing_around_an_obstacle.gif|center]]
'''Illustration 1.''' Superconducting current flowing around an obstacle.

A more detailed analysis shows that the quantum potential for the whole system then constitutes a non-local connection that brings about the above-described organized and orderly pattern of electrons moving together without scattering. We may here make an analogy to a ballet dance, in which all the dancers, guided by a common pool of information in the form of a score, are able to move together in a similar organized and orderly way, to go around an obstacle and re-form their pattern of movement. [Bohm, David ♦ [http://web.archive.org/web/20050128080159/members.aol.com/Mszlazak/BOHM.html A new theory of the relationship of mind and matter]]
</blockquote>

The organizedness of the universe's [http://encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/Gravitoelectric+field gravitoelectric field] (quantum potential) is inversely proportional to the universe's temperature:
<blockquote>
If the basic behaviour of matter involves such features as wholeness, nonlocality and organization of movement through common pools of information, how then do we account for ordinary large-scale experience, in which we find no such features? It can be shown (Bohm & Hiley, 1987) that at higher temperatures, the quantum potential tends to take the form of independent parts, which implies that the particles move with a corresponding independence. It is as if, instead of engaging in a ballet dance, people were moving independently, each with his own separate pool of information. They would then constitute a crowd, in which the organized movement of the ballet has broken up.

The evolution of a fragment of the universe's [http://encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/Gravitoelectric+field gravitoelectric] drainage system, composed of clusters and large-scale filaments. The movie stills show the evolution of structures in a 43 million parsecs (or 140 million light years) box from the redshift of 30 to the present epoch (upper left z=30 to lower right z=0). At the initial epoch (z=30), when the age of the Universe was less than 1% of its current age (about 13 billion years ago), algorithms based on the initial conditions predicted by inflationary models of the universe reveal what appears to be a uniform blanket of matter. The last frame shows the "present day" distribution of matter: this image looks very much like the distribution of galaxies and galaxy clusters observed in the real universe. '''Notice the filament spanning the entire box from left to right and how it becomes more and more pronounced with time. This filament is the main river of the gravitoelectric drainage system.''' Over the period of time evolved in the simulation, the protons of the collapsing matter shrink in size relatively to the spacetime continuum by a factor of 10 quadrillion (10'''16'''). In order to keep matter visible, the shrinking of the protons has been taken out, so that the simulation box appears static. In professional lingo, the system of coordinates that shrinks (or co-moves) with the protons is called the comoving coordinate system.

==The timing of the Omega Point==
As it is shown in [[The_end_of_the_world#How_God_comes_to_power|Section 3]], the protons are being blueshifted by the universe's [http://encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/Gravitoelectric+field gravitoelectric field] (quantum potential), whose influence is proportional to the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complexity#Disorganized_complexity_vs._organized_complexity organized complexity] (information) of its source, which means that mankind, by virtue of its being the summit of the universe's organized complexity, is the absolute centre of the universe's gravitoelectric field, whose proton-shrinking power is a function of mankind's informational progress.

The [http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/amom.html angular momentum] of the shrinking [http://www.jlab.org/news/releases/2003/03protonshape.html protons] is conserved, which creates an energy barrier preventing further collapse of the protons. That is why the protons shrink in leaps preceded by long periods of angular deceleration, during which the protons do not shrink but become more interconnected (more informed). Thus, the next simultaneous shrinking of the universe's protons will happen when the protons will have become sufficiently interconnected (informed).

==The final state of the universe==
===The cosmic informational singularity===
The number of degrees of freedom (entropy) is, ultimately, the number of dimensions. The universe begins as a uniform tridimensional hydrogen nebula. By the end of the universe's gravitational evolution, the centre of the universe—the planet Earth—turns into a quadridimensional hyperspace, while the extraterrestrial universe becomes dendritically unidimensional. Effectively, the Earth's informational progress (which is a progress in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complexity#Disorganized_complexity_vs._organized_complexity organized complexity], or in ''organized entropy''—negentropy) drains the matter of the extraterrestrial universe of its [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complexity#Disorganized_complexity_vs._organized_complexity disorganized complexity] (''entropy''). This conclusion rests on the following two premises:
<blockquote>
The trouble is, the laws of quantum physics—the very thing Stephen used to predict black hole radiation—clearly state that information can never be created or destroyed. [Davies, Paul ♦ [http://www.abc.net.au/rn/science/ss/stories/s1158384.htm Hawking and Black Holes]]
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
Thermodynamic entropy and Shannon entropy are conceptually equivalent: the number of arrangements that are counted by Boltzmann entropy reflects the amount of Shannon information one would need to implement any particular arrangement. The two entropies have two salient differences, though. First, the thermodynamic entropy used by a chemist or a refrigeration engineer is expressed in units of energy divided by temperature, whereas the Shannon entropy used by a communications engineer is in bits, essentially dimensionless. That difference is merely a matter of convention. Even when reduced to common units, however, typical values of the two entropies differ vastly in magnitude. A silicon microchip carrying a gigabyte of data, for instance, has a Shannon entropy of about 10'''10''' bits (one byte is eight bits), tremendously smaller than the chip's thermodynamic entropy, which is about 10'''23''' bits at room temperature. This discrepancy occurs because the entropies are computed for different degrees of freedom. A degree of freedom is any quantity that can vary, such as a coordinate specifying a particle's location or one component of its velocity. The Shannon entropy of the chip cares only about the overall state of each tiny transistor etched in the silicon crystal—the transistor is on or off; it is a 0 or a 1—a single binary degree of freedom. Thermodynamic entropy, in contrast, depends on the states of all the billions of atoms (and their roaming electrons) that make up each transistor. As miniaturization brings closer the day when each atom will store one bit of information for us, the useful Shannon entropy of the state-of-the-art microchip will edge closer in magnitude to its material's thermodynamic entropy. When the two entropies are calculated for the same degrees of freedom, they are equal. [Bekenstein, Jacob. D. ♦ [http://sufizmveinsan.com/fizik/holographic.html Information in the Holographic Universe] Scientific American, August 2003]

In the result, the extraterrestrial universe reaches the state of ''zero entropy'', while the planet Earth enters the state of ''maximum negentropy''.

It is interesting to observe that the kind of rigid “order” which is static or expresses very few degrees of freedom is very much the kind of order that results when quantum processes are constrained to operate collectively on a macroscopic scale—which means isolating them from environmental complexities, principally thermal. <…> If this kind of non local behaviour were typical of macroscopic phenomena, the organisation of the world around us would be very different: there would be no “us” for the world to be around. If the waters in the earth’s oceans behaved like liquid helium, for example, they would have some spectacularly jerky “tidal” properties, and the continuously varying angular momentum of the sea bed at different latitudes due to the rotation of the earth would tend to induce instantaneous transitions between ocean “currents” in different quantum states. This ocean would resemble fluid slabs sliding past one another along quantum fracture planes. The superfluid would not stop on the shore but would creep up cliff faces (or leak through them by quantum tunnelling) to cover the land! In this kind of simple order, processes march in step with dramatic but curiously sterile results: On the most obvious level, nothing could live in an ocean consisting purely of helium at −271°C; further, life would be impossible in a medium which was “purely” of anything; and more fundamentally '''this kind of nonlocal “order” would have no room for information'''. In the absence of any effective temperature gradient from pole to equator, the helium ocean’s countless billions of atoms could do nothing but drift like vast rafts of coherent sludge between states of quantised angular momentum, a highly ordered “marine environment” but one with no prospect at all of emergent complexity. But if we disrupt this rigid order into “disorder” by supplying incoherent energy, what happens? We supply heat and the superfluid order is destroyed, helium atoms begin random jostlings, some fluid sinks, some rises, convection cells develop, currents flow, some helium starts to evaporate, and suddenly there is circulation, thermodynamic complexity and the capacity to “do work”. Curiously, although the state with which we began, close to the zero point energy of liquid helium, was a state of zero entropy and therefore—by convention—the state of minimum disorder, or maximum order, only the incoherent disruption of this order into a state of high entropy is capable of exhibiting any '''interesting order'''. Only stochastic behaviour allows for the emergence of new levels of dynamic equilibrium and all the tangled, multi levelled richness of natural “laws”. The zero-point state of quantum superfluidity is an applied thermal constraint, a constraint which, like an anatomical dissection, exposes the mechanism in a state which is the quantum analogue of stasis but which in the act cuts off its means of expressing connectivity with the nonlocally looped universe, '''robbing it of life'''. A quantum system under such constraint is '''a corpse on a cold slab.'''

The conventions of relativity say that time slows down as one approaches the speed of light, but if one tries to imagine the point of view of a thing made of light, one must realize that what is never mentioned is that if one moves at the speed of light, there is no time whatsoever. There is an experience of time zero. So if one imagines for a moment oneself to be made of light, or in possession of a vehicle that can move at the speed of light, one can traverse from any point in the universe to any other with a subjective experience of time zero. This means that one crosses to Alpha Centauri in time zero, but the amount of time that has passed in the relativistic universe is four and a half years. But if one moves very great distances, if one crosses two hundred and fifty thousand light-years to Andromeda, one would still have a subjective experience of time zero.
The only experience of time that one can have is of a subjective time that is created by one's own mental processes, but in relationship to the Newtonian universe there is no time whatsoever. One exists in eternity, one has become eternal, the universe is aging at a staggering rate all around one in this situation, but that is perceived as a fact of this universe—the way we perceive Newtonian physics as a fact of this universe. One has transited into the eternal mode. One is then apart from the moving image; one exists in the completion of eternity.

On the 20th run, at 1048575/1048576 of the speed of light, the distance shrinks to 0.0059 light years and the ship and occupants experience a journey time of 2.15 days. Whereas to those on Earth the ship looks almost ‘frozen’ and the journey still takes 4.27 years, plus a couple of days. For the ship, both transit time and distance drop toward zero as his speed approaches the speed of light. To those at ‘rest’ on Earth, the ship's existence appears to ‘slow’ towards stasis near the speed of light. <...> This feature of Relativity, wherein an observer's relationship to another location can be dramatically altered by acceleration is often not apparent in a geometrical representation. Nevertheless it is a "standard" feature of relativity. Under sufficient acceleration, a remote location can become almost immediately present, no matter how far away it seems to be at the moment. <...> If we extend the traveller's experience to that of light, then it appears that photons experience no space or time. Relativistic space-time geometry appears to concur, events that can be connected by a light ray occur with ‘zero’ space-time separation regardless of their physical separation in space. In effect, it would seem that light occupies a time-space no-man’s land in which photons individually experience no space and no time during their transfer from the source to the destination. If relativity holds, then a photon appears to go from one present to another without experiencing space or time. It just ‘is’, without time or space, very like a ‘time capsule’ of energy frozen in stasis that only ‘comes alive’ when it interacts.

* To help trigger awareness of what has been protected from our awareness since we became intelligent hominids.
* To help trigger awareness of what, apart from the above, has been actively hidden from our awareness since the start of the agricultural revolution.
* To bring awareness and understanding of the evolutionary rules and necessities for the emergence, wherever in the universe, of any high intelligence, ever.
* To bring awareness and understanding of the inescapable and necessary evolutionary transitory phase in between the rise of meme-power structures and the (future) start of conscious evolution.
* To bring awareness of the radically impersonal character of the entities in charge of human societies since the agricultural revolution.
* To bring understanding of humanity's present position in the final stages of our own present transitory phase in the evolution of high intelligence, which transition has lasted for some 10.000 years now.
* To spread awareness of the underlying mechanisms, and their evolutionary stability, that enhance and maintain superstition and ignorance on a massive scale up till today, supporting the impersonal meme-power-structures in charge.
* To help bring closer Point Omega.

== What this site is about and what it is not==

'''This site presents data, based on scientific research, suggesting that:'''

# A transition in human society and human behaviour, as described by Teilhard de Chardin and labeled by him as Point Omega, is possible and even likely to occur at some point in human evolution.
# Such a Point Omega transition seems likely to occur in a not very far future. According to some authors, it has already started and is underway.
# "Enlightenment", "spiritual awareness", "God-consciousness" and similar descriptions of certain states of the human mind, can be described and explained in terms from ethology and behavioural sciences. Also their function can be explained and predictions derived about their likelihood and occurrence in human beings.
# There is a very simple common denominator to what many prophets have originally told their people, many messages of which have in the course of time been deformed and corrupted into organized religions that invariably block awareness and understanding of the original messages, wielding massive power over their followers instead of liberating them. This simple common denominator concerns the truth of how the behaviour of ourselves is organized and what alternative perspectives we would have, once awareness of these relatively simple truths has become common knowledge.

'''This site ''does'' however ''not'' deal with phenomena like:'''

# Morphogenetic fields
# Telepathy
# Clearvoyance
# Premonition
# Aura's and chakra's
# Notions from organized religions
# And other phenomena that are beyond the boundaries of present scientific understanding.

'''This site ''does'' deal with known and well established reality'''

It is clear that scientific data as available today cannot give us a complete picture of the universe and its functioning, let alone of our own functioning therein.
No doubt that in the future we will become aware and gather scientific proof of mechanisms that until now seem rather mysterious and incomprehensible to us.
Our picture of the world is incomplete and will always be incomplete, no matter how far our scientific understanding will expand.

This site will not deal with any subject that is still beyond the boundaries of scientific knowledge, nor will we indulge in speculation. This site only deals with data and knowledge that have become firmly rooted in scientific research.

It will present a number of notions, well rooted in scientific research, that, each separately, nevertheless are until now only known in very limited circles of specialists, in spite of the fact that most of these notions are not difficult to understand from a technical point of view. This implies that humanity in principle could have grasped these notions already long ago.

Each of these notions is however subject to specific blindnesses in our collective human awareness.
This site puts a number of these not widely known notions from different scientific disciplines together and will show that removal of the blind spots from a variety of research fields produces an overall picture that explains human history and development from an unexpected angle and allows us to obtain a clearer and very surprising picture of our human potential and future.

General relativity predicts that gravitational radiation should exist and propagate as a wave at the speed of light. To avoid confusion, we should point out that a slowly evolving source for a weak gravitational field will produce, according to general relativity, similar effects to those we might expect from Newtonian gravitation. In particular, a slowly evolving Coulomb component of a gravitational field should not be confused with a possible additional radiation component; see Petrov classification. Nonetheless, any of the Petrov-type gravitational field obeys the principle of causality, so that the slowly evolving "Coulomb component" of the gravitational field can not transfer information about position of the source of the gravitational field faster than the speed of light.

The basically new features of the quantum theory come mainly from the new properties of the quantum potential. Of these, one of the most important is that this potential is related to the Schroedinger wavefunction in a way that '''it does not depend on the intensity of the waves but only on the form'''. This implies that the Schroedinger wave does not act like, for example, a water wave on a floating object to push the particle mechanically with a force proportional to its intensity. Rather, a better analogy would be to a ship on automatic pilot guided by radar waves. The ship with its automatic pilot is a self-active system, but '''the form of its activity is determined by the information content''' concerning its environment carried by the radar waves. '''This latter is independent of the intensity of these waves (as long as they can be received by the equipment available) but depends only on their form''', which in turn reflects the form of the environment. <...> Even at distances so great that the wave intensity is small, the trajectory of the particle can strongly reflect distant features of the environment. <...> At first sight, it seems that such a non-local connection, that can produce a kind of instantaneous contact of distant particles would violate the theory of relativity, which requires that no signal can be transmitted faster than light. It is possible to show, however, that the quantum potential cannot be used to carry a signal, i.e., that it could not constitute a well-ordered series of impulses that could transmit a well-defined meaning.

Secondly, in a many-particle system, the interaction of the particles may be thought of as depending on a common pool of information belonging to the system as a whole, in a way that is '''not analyzable in terms of pre-assigned relationships between individual particles'''. This may be illustrated in terms of the phenomenon of superconductivity. Now, at ordinary temperatures, electrons moving inside a metal are scattered in a random way by various obstacles and irregularities in the metal. As a result, there is a resistance to the flow of electric current. At low temperatures, however, the electrons move together in an organized way, and can therefore go around such obstacles and irregularities to re-form their pattern of orderly movement together (see Illustration 1). Thus they are not scattered, and therefore the current can flow indefinitely without resistance.

A more detailed analysis shows that the quantum potential for the whole system then constitutes a non-local connection that brings about the above-described organized and orderly pattern of electrons moving together without scattering. We may here make an analogy to a ballet dance, in which all the dancers, guided by a common pool of information in the form of a score, are able to move together in a similar organized and orderly way, to go around an obstacle and re-form their pattern of movement.

If the basic behaviour of matter involves such features as wholeness, nonlocality and organization of movement through common pools of information, how then do we account for ordinary large-scale experience, in which we find no such features? It can be shown (Bohm & Hiley, 1987) that at higher temperatures, the quantum potential tends to take the form of independent parts, which implies that the particles move with a corresponding independence. It is as if, instead of engaging in a ballet dance, people were moving independently, each with his own separate pool of information. They would then constitute a crowd, in which the organized movement of the ballet has broken up.

===The cosmic informational singularity===
The number of degrees of freedom (entropy) is, ultimately, the number of dimensions. The universe begins as a uniform tridimensional hydrogen nebula. By the end of the universe's gravitational evolution, the centre of the universe—the planet Earth—turns into a quadridimensional hyperspace, while the extraterrestrial universe becomes dendritically unidimensional. Effectively, the Earth's informational progress (which is a progress in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complexity#Disorganized_complexity_vs._organized_complexity organized complexity], or in ''organized entropy''—negentropy) drains the matter of the extraterrestrial universe of its [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complexity#Disorganized_complexity_vs._organized_complexity disorganized complexity] (''entropy'').

<blockquote>
Thermodynamic entropy and Shannon entropy are conceptually equivalent: the number of arrangements that are counted by Boltzmann entropy reflects the amount of Shannon information one would need to implement any particular arrangement. The two entropies have two salient differences, though. First, the thermodynamic entropy used by a chemist or a refrigeration engineer is expressed in units of energy divided by temperature, whereas the Shannon entropy used by a communications engineer is in bits, essentially dimensionless. That difference is merely a matter of convention. Even when reduced to common units, however, typical values of the two entropies differ vastly in magnitude. A silicon microchip carrying a gigabyte of data, for instance, has a Shannon entropy of about 10'''10''' bits (one byte is eight bits), tremendously smaller than the chip's thermodynamic entropy, which is about 10'''23''' bits at room temperature. This discrepancy occurs because the entropies are computed for different degrees of freedom. A degree of freedom is any quantity that can vary, such as a coordinate specifying a particle's location or one component of its velocity. The Shannon entropy of the chip cares only about the overall state of each tiny transistor etched in the silicon crystal—the transistor is on or off; it is a 0 or a 1—a single binary degree of freedom. Thermodynamic entropy, in contrast, depends on the states of all the billions of atoms (and their roaming electrons) that make up each transistor. As miniaturization brings closer the day when each atom will store one bit of information for us, the useful Shannon entropy of the state-of-the-art microchip will edge closer in magnitude to its material's thermodynamic entropy. When the two entropies are calculated for the same degrees of freedom, they are equal. [Bekenstein, Jacob.

It is interesting to observe that the kind of rigid “order” which is static or expresses very few degrees of freedom is very much the kind of order that results when quantum processes are constrained to operate collectively on a macroscopic scale—which means isolating them from environmental complexities, principally thermal. <…> If this kind of non local behaviour were typical of macroscopic phenomena, the organisation of the world around us would be very different: there would be no “us” for the world to be around. If the waters in the earth’s oceans behaved like liquid helium, for example, they would have some spectacularly jerky “tidal” properties, and the continuously varying angular momentum of the sea bed at different latitudes due to the rotation of the earth would tend to induce instantaneous transitions between ocean “currents” in different quantum states. This ocean would resemble fluid slabs sliding past one another along quantum fracture planes. The superfluid would not stop on the shore but would creep up cliff faces (or leak through them by quantum tunnelling) to cover the land! In this kind of simple order, processes march in step with dramatic but curiously sterile results: On the most obvious level, nothing could live in an ocean consisting purely of helium at −271°C; further, life would be impossible in a medium which was “purely” of anything; and more fundamentally '''this kind of nonlocal “order” would have no room for information'''. In the absence of any effective temperature gradient from pole to equator, the helium ocean’s countless billions of atoms could do nothing but drift like vast rafts of coherent sludge between states of quantised angular momentum, a highly ordered “marine environment” but one with no prospect at all of emergent complexity. But if we disrupt this rigid order into “disorder” by supplying incoherent energy, what happens? We supply heat and the superfluid order is destroyed, helium atoms begin random jostlings, some fluid sinks, some rises, convection cells develop, currents flow, some helium starts to evaporate, and suddenly there is circulation, thermodynamic complexity and the capacity to “do work”. Curiously, although the state with which we began, close to the zero point energy of liquid helium, was a state of zero entropy and therefore—by convention—the state of minimum disorder, or maximum order, only the incoherent disruption of this order into a state of high entropy is capable of exhibiting any '''interesting order'''. Only stochastic behaviour allows for the emergence of new levels of dynamic equilibrium and all the tangled, multi levelled richness of natural “laws”. The zero-point state of quantum superfluidity is an applied thermal constraint, a constraint which, like an anatomical dissection, exposes the mechanism in a state which is the quantum analogue of stasis but which in the act cuts off its means of expressing connectivity with the nonlocally looped universe, '''robbing it of life'''.

The conventions of relativity say that time slows down as one approaches the speed of light, but if one tries to imagine the point of view of a thing made of light, one must realize that what is never mentioned is that if one moves at the speed of light, there is no time whatsoever. There is an experience of time zero. So if one imagines for a moment oneself to be made of light, or in possession of a vehicle that can move at the speed of light, one can traverse from any point in the universe to any other with a subjective experience of time zero. This means that one crosses to Alpha Centauri in time zero, but the amount of time that has passed in the relativistic universe is four and a half years. But if one moves very great distances, if one crosses two hundred and fifty thousand light-years to Andromeda, one would still have a subjective experience of time zero.

Thus the universe will begin a new cycle of its gravitational evolution. Due to the spatiotemporal fractality of the holographic universe, all of the cycles are perfectly identical—in about 13 billion years from now, you will again be reading this very webpage.

It is interesting to note that at a time ''n = N'' the Planck length will have grown to a size such that ''L'''P''' = λ'''p'''''. (Or conversely, in the cosmological frame, the proton wavelength will have shrunk below the Planck length). The implications of this equality for the ultimate fate of the Universe will be revisited in Section 4.

In Section 3 we saw that at a time ''n = N'' (where ''n'' is the time in atomic time units, and ''N'' is the baryon number of the Universe), the evolution of the Universe reaches a state at which the Planck length is equal to the Compton wavelength of the proton. In other words, the scale factor of the Universe has evolved to the point where the radius of the proton exceeds the Schwarzschild radius corresponding to the proton mass. At this point the Universe effectively comes to an end as all protons simultaneously collapse into micro black holes.

==The current size of the proton versus the Planck length==
The radius of the proton experimentally determined by [http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/physics/laureates/1961/hofstadter-bio.html Robert Hofstadter] is 7.4 × 10'''−16''' m:
<blockquote>
In the latter part of 1954 it was first realized that the experiments on hydrogen demonstrated that the proton was an object of finite size and not merely a point object. In fact, the size was found to be surprisingly large and could be described in terms of a root-mean-square radius of value (0.74 ± 0.24) × 10'''−13''' cm. [Hofstadter, Robert ♦ [http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/physics/laureates/1961/hofstadter-lecture.pdf#page=12&view=FitV Nobel Lecture], p. 12]

[http://www.nature.com/naturejobs/2008/080515/full/nj7193-424a.html Craig Hogan] has discovered (and the discovery has been preliminarily [http://www.scribd.com/doc/15765052/Our-World-May-Be-a-Giant-Hologram confirmed by GEO600 experiments]), that '''since the birth of the universe, the protons have shrunk relatively to the Planck length by a factor of ten quadrillion (1016)''':
<blockquote>
At very small scales, physicists have long thought that the smoothness of space disintegrates into quantum fluctuations. This is expected to occur at the so-called Planck length, 1.6 × 10'''−35''' metres, or one one hundred millionth of a trillionth of the size of a proton. If the universe is truly a hologram, says Hogan, the Planck length still applies, but only on the two-dimensional surface that is our actual reality. The projection of this reality into the third dimension means the Planck length is blurred in one direction to a larger size—more like 10'''−19''' metres, or one ten thousandth the size of a proton.

As the Schwarzschild radius of this object is bigger than its size, thus the object is a black hole."''</ref> Thus, the current radius of the proton is only five thousand times bigger than the Schwarzschild radius of the Planckian black hole. Gravitational collapse is autocatalytic—the more blueshifted and massive the protons become, the faster they collapse. Therefore, '''the protons are currently shrinking faster than ever before in the whole history of the universe''', and a five-thousand-fold decrease in the radius of the proton relatively to the [http://www.daviddarling.info/encyclopedia/P/Planck_length.html Planck length] will take a very short time.

==The universe as a gravitoelectric drainage system==
The universe is an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autopoiesis autopoietic] gravitational field—the physicist Bauer [''Phys. Z.'', 19 (1918), 163] showed that simple adoption of polar coordinates, instead of Euclidean ones, creates a gravitational force of infinite energy.<ref>Pauli, Wolfgang ♦ [http://books.google.com/books?id=7xrL7h10XkQC&pg=176#v=twopage&q&f=false Theory of Relativity] Pergamon Press (1958); p.p. 176, 177</ref>
<blockquote>
General relativity predicts that gravitational radiation should exist and propagate as a wave at the speed of light. To avoid confusion, we should point out that a slowly evolving source for a weak gravitational field will produce, according to general relativity, similar effects to those we might expect from Newtonian gravitation. In particular, a slowly evolving Coulomb component of a gravitational field should not be confused with a possible additional radiation component; see Petrov classification. Nonetheless, any of the Petrov-type gravitational field obeys the principle of causality, so that the slowly evolving "Coulomb component" of the gravitational field can not transfer information about position of the source of the gravitational field faster than the speed of light.

Thus, the universe's gravitational field is subdivided into the Newtonian [http://encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/Gravitoelectric+field gravitoelectric field], whose intensity is below the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck_constant Planck constant], and the Einsteinian [http://encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/Gravitomagnetic+field gravitomagnetic field], whose intensity is above the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck_constant Planck constant].

The [http://encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/Gravitoelectric+field gravitoelectric field] is not quantized into any real particles, because its intensity is below the smallest quantum of action—the Planck constant. Thus, the gravitoelectric field of the universe is virtual information, also known as the ''quantum gravitational potential'' or the ''quantum potential'',<ref>Chatterjee, Pradip Kumar ♦ [http://arxiv.org/abs/physics/0509219 Theory of Quantum Gravity of photon confirms experimental results of a varying fine structure constant while Quantum Mechanics leads to String theory] ''"In essence,Quantum Mechanics includes quantum gravitational potential in the guise of quantum potential."''</ref> instantaneously interconnecting all matter of the universe. Since the intensity of this instantaneous action at a distance is below the Planck constant, it cannot transmit information in quantized (discrete) form:
<blockquote>
The basically new features of the quantum theory come mainly from the new properties of the quantum potential. Of these, one of the most important is that this potential is related to the Schroedinger wavefunction in a way that '''it does not depend on the intensity of the waves but only on the form'''. This implies that the Schroedinger wave does not act like, for example, a water wave on a floating object to push the particle mechanically with a force proportional to its intensity. Rather, a better analogy would be to a ship on automatic pilot guided by radar waves. The ship with its automatic pilot is a self-active system, but '''the form of its activity is determined by the information content''' concerning its environment carried by the radar waves. '''This latter is independent of the intensity of these waves (as long as they can be received by the equipment available) but depends only on their form''', which in turn reflects the form of the environment. <...> Even at distances so great that the wave intensity is small, the trajectory of the particle can strongly reflect distant features of the environment. <...> At first sight, it seems that such a non-local connection, that can produce a kind of instantaneous contact of distant particles would violate the theory of relativity, which requires that no signal can be transmitted faster than light. It is possible to show, however, that the quantum potential cannot be used to carry a signal, i.e., that it could not constitute a well-ordered series of impulses that could transmit a well-defined meaning.

A wavefunction is an intuitively perceived [http://www.thefreedictionary.com/gestalt Gestalt]:
<blockquote>
Secondly, in a many-particle system, the interaction of the particles may be thought of as depending on a common pool of information belonging to the system as a whole, in a way that is '''not analyzable in terms of pre-assigned relationships between individual particles'''. This may be illustrated in terms of the phenomenon of superconductivity. Now, at ordinary temperatures, electrons moving inside a metal are scattered in a random way by various obstacles and irregularities in the metal. As a result, there is a resistance to the flow of electric current. At low temperatures, however, the electrons move together in an organized way, and can therefore go around such obstacles and irregularities to re-form their pattern of orderly movement together (see Illustration 1). Thus they are not scattered, and therefore the current can flow indefinitely without resistance.

[[Image:Superconducting_current_flowing_around_an_obstacle.gif|center]]
'''Illustration 1.''' Superconducting current flowing around an obstacle.

A more detailed analysis shows that the quantum potential for the whole system then constitutes a non-local connection that brings about the above-described organized and orderly pattern of electrons moving together without scattering. We may here make an analogy to a ballet dance, in which all the dancers, guided by a common pool of information in the form of a score, are able to move together in a similar organized and orderly way, to go around an obstacle and re-form their pattern of movement.

The organizedness of the universe's [http://encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/Gravitoelectric+field gravitoelectric field] (quantum potential) is inversely proportional to the universe's temperature:
<blockquote>
If the basic behaviour of matter involves such features as wholeness, nonlocality and organization of movement through common pools of information, how then do we account for ordinary large-scale experience, in which we find no such features? It can be shown (Bohm & Hiley, 1987) that at higher temperatures, the quantum potential tends to take the form of independent parts, which implies that the particles move with a corresponding independence. It is as if, instead of engaging in a ballet dance, people were moving independently, each with his own separate pool of information. They would then constitute a crowd, in which the organized movement of the ballet has broken up.

==The timing of the Omega Point==
As it is shown in [[The_end_of_the_world#How_God_comes_to_power|Section 3]], the protons are being blueshifted by the universe's [http://encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/Gravitoelectric+field gravitoelectric field] (quantum potential), whose influence is proportional to the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complexity#Disorganized_complexity_vs._organized_complexity organized complexity] (information) of its source, which means that mankind, by virtue of its being the summit of the universe's organized complexity, is the absolute centre of the universe's gravitoelectric field, whose proton-shrinking power is a function of mankind's informational progress.

The [http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/amom.html angular momentum] of the shrinking [http://www.jlab.org/news/releases/2003/03protonshape.html protons] is conserved, which creates an energy barrier preventing further collapse of the protons. That is why the protons shrink in leaps preceded by long periods of angular deceleration, during which the protons do not shrink but become more interconnected (more informed). Thus, the next simultaneous shrinking of the universe's protons will happen when the protons will have become sufficiently interconnected (informed).

Thus, the gravitoelectric field of the universe has zero entropy (since it has no internal parts, it has no internal degrees of freedom). Since it has zero entropy, it has zero volume (''"The entropy of a region uniformly filled with matter and radiation is truly proportional to its volume."'' [Bekenstein, Jacob D. ♦ [http://sufizmveinsan.com/fizik/holographic.html Information in the Holographic Universe] ''Scientific American'', August 2003]), which means that '''the gravitoelectric field is pure unidimensional time.'''</ref>''' The eventual unidimensionality of the extraterrestrial universe means that the total amount of bits of information, which the universe's gravitoelectric drainage system can deliver to the planet Earth, is equal to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddington_number the total number of the protons] (~ 10'''79'''), which will be reached after 263 information doublings (starting from a single bit):

==The final state of the universe==
===The cosmic informational singularity===
The number of degrees of freedom (entropy) is, ultimately, the number of dimensions. The universe begins as a uniform tridimensional hydrogen nebula. By the end of the universe's gravitational evolution, the centre of the universe—the planet Earth—turns into a quadridimensional hyperspace, while the extraterrestrial universe becomes dendritically unidimensional. Effectively, the Earth's informational progress (which is a progress in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complexity#Disorganized_complexity_vs._organized_complexity organized complexity], or in ''organized entropy''—negentropy) drains the matter of the extraterrestrial universe of its [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complexity#Disorganized_complexity_vs._organized_complexity disorganized complexity] (''entropy''). This conclusion rests on the following two premises:
<blockquote>
The trouble is, the laws of quantum physics—the very thing Stephen used to predict black hole radiation—clearly state that information can never be created or destroyed. [Davies, Paul ♦ [http://www.abc.net.au/rn/science/ss/stories/s1158384.htm Hawking and Black Holes]]
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
Thermodynamic entropy and Shannon entropy are conceptually equivalent: the number of arrangements that are counted by Boltzmann entropy reflects the amount of Shannon information one would need to implement any particular arrangement. The two entropies have two salient differences, though. First, the thermodynamic entropy used by a chemist or a refrigeration engineer is expressed in units of energy divided by temperature, whereas the Shannon entropy used by a communications engineer is in bits, essentially dimensionless. That difference is merely a matter of convention. Even when reduced to common units, however, typical values of the two entropies differ vastly in magnitude. A silicon microchip carrying a gigabyte of data, for instance, has a Shannon entropy of about 10'''10''' bits (one byte is eight bits), tremendously smaller than the chip's thermodynamic entropy, which is about 10'''23''' bits at room temperature. This discrepancy occurs because the entropies are computed for different degrees of freedom. A degree of freedom is any quantity that can vary, such as a coordinate specifying a particle's location or one component of its velocity. The Shannon entropy of the chip cares only about the overall state of each tiny transistor etched in the silicon crystal—the transistor is on or off; it is a 0 or a 1—a single binary degree of freedom. Thermodynamic entropy, in contrast, depends on the states of all the billions of atoms (and their roaming electrons) that make up each transistor. As miniaturization brings closer the day when each atom will store one bit of information for us, the useful Shannon entropy of the state-of-the-art microchip will edge closer in magnitude to its material's thermodynamic entropy. When the two entropies are calculated for the same degrees of freedom, they are equal. [Bekenstein, Jacob. D. ♦ [http://sufizmveinsan.com/fizik/holographic.html Information in the Holographic Universe] Scientific American, August 2003]
</blockquote>
In the result, the extraterrestrial universe reaches the state of ''zero entropy'', while the planet Earth enters the state of ''maximum negentropy''. The state of zero entropy is the '''zero-information state''' of a cold [http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/74640/Bose-Einstein-condensate Bose-Einstein-condensate]); the state of maximum negentropy is the '''maximally informative state''' of a high-temperature [http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/74640/Bose-Einstein-condensate Bose-Einstein-condensate]—Life'''<ref>Poccia, Nicola; Ricci, Alessandro; Innocenti, Davide; Bianconi, Antonio ♦ [http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?artid=2695269 A Possible Mechanism for Evading Temperature Quantum Decoherence in Living Matter by Feshbach Resonance] Department of Physics, Sapienza University of Rome ♦ ''"... the living state is a practical realization of a Bose-condensate."''</ref>''').

Entropy ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complexity#Disorganized_complexity_vs._organized_complexity disorganized complexity]) is the mother of information ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complexity#Disorganized_complexity_vs._organized_complexity organized complexity]) Therefore, by draining the extraterrestrial universe of entropy, '''the informational progress of the Earth drains the extraterrestrial universe of information—life''':
<blockquote>
It is interesting to observe that the kind of rigid “order” which is static or expresses very few degrees of freedom is very much the kind of order that results when quantum processes are constrained to operate collectively on a macroscopic scale—which means isolating them from environmental complexities, principally thermal. <…> If this kind of non local behaviour were typical of macroscopic phenomena, the organisation of the world around us would be very different: there would be no “us” for the world to be around. If the waters in the earth’s oceans behaved like liquid helium, for example, they would have some spectacularly jerky “tidal” properties, and the continuously varying angular momentum of the sea bed at different latitudes due to the rotation of the earth would tend to induce instantaneous transitions between ocean “currents” in different quantum states. This ocean would resemble fluid slabs sliding past one another along quantum fracture planes. The superfluid would not stop on the shore but would creep up cliff faces (or leak through them by quantum tunnelling) to cover the land! In this kind of simple order, processes march in step with dramatic but curiously sterile results: On the most obvious level, nothing could live in an ocean consisting purely of helium at −271°C; further, life would be impossible in a medium which was “purely” of anything; and more fundamentally '''this kind of nonlocal “order” would have no room for information'''. In the absence of any effective temperature gradient from pole to equator, the helium ocean’s countless billions of atoms could do nothing but drift like vast rafts of coherent sludge between states of quantised angular momentum, a highly ordered “marine environment” but one with no prospect at all of emergent complexity. But if we disrupt this rigid order into “disorder” by supplying incoherent energy, what happens? We supply heat and the superfluid order is destroyed, helium atoms begin random jostlings, some fluid sinks, some rises, convection cells develop, currents flow, some helium starts to evaporate, and suddenly there is circulation, thermodynamic complexity and the capacity to “do work”. Curiously, although the state with which we began, close to the zero point energy of liquid helium, was a state of zero entropy and therefore—by convention—the state of minimum disorder, or maximum order, only the incoherent disruption of this order into a state of high entropy is capable of exhibiting any '''interesting order'''. Only stochastic behaviour allows for the emergence of new levels of dynamic equilibrium and all the tangled, multi levelled richness of natural “laws”. The zero-point state of quantum superfluidity is an applied thermal constraint, a constraint which, like an anatomical dissection, exposes the mechanism in a state which is the quantum analogue of stasis but which in the act cuts off its means of expressing connectivity with the nonlocally looped universe, '''robbing it of life'''. A quantum system under such constraint is '''a corpse on a cold slab.'''

The more "dead" the extraterrestrial universe becomes, the faster it yields its remaining information to the central attractor of the gravitoelectric drainage system—the planet Earth—which explains why the Earth's informational progress is exponentially accelerating:

<blockquote>
The conventions of relativity say that time slows down as one approaches the speed of light, but if one tries to imagine the point of view of a thing made of light, one must realize that what is never mentioned is that if one moves at the speed of light, there is no time whatsoever. There is an experience of time zero. So if one imagines for a moment oneself to be made of light, or in possession of a vehicle that can move at the speed of light, one can traverse from any point in the universe to any other with a subjective experience of time zero. This means that one crosses to Alpha Centauri in time zero, but the amount of time that has passed in the relativistic universe is four and a half years. But if one moves very great distances, if one crosses two hundred and fifty thousand light-years to Andromeda, one would still have a subjective experience of time zero.
The only experience of time that one can have is of a subjective time that is created by one's own mental processes, but in relationship to the Newtonian universe there is no time whatsoever. One exists in eternity, one has become eternal, the universe is aging at a staggering rate all around one in this situation, but that is perceived as a fact of this universe—the way we perceive Newtonian physics as a fact of this universe. One has transited into the eternal mode. One is then apart from the moving image; one exists in the completion of eternity.

'''Illustration 6.''' The above graph shows the journey times for the twenty runs from the ship viewpoint. Notice that as speeds approach the speed of light, the journey times reduce dramatically, even though the actual increments in speed appear slight. On the 20th run, at 1048575/1048576 of the speed of light, the distance shrinks to 0.0059 light years and the ship and occupants experience a journey time of 2.15 days. Whereas to those on Earth the ship looks almost ‘frozen’ and the journey still takes 4.27 years, plus a couple of days. For the ship, both transit time and distance drop toward zero as his speed approaches the speed of light. To those at ‘rest’ on Earth, the ship's existence appears to ‘slow’ towards stasis near the speed of light. <...> This feature of Relativity, wherein an observer's relationship to another location can be dramatically altered by acceleration is often not apparent in a geometrical representation. Nevertheless it is a "standard" feature of relativity. Under sufficient acceleration, a remote location can become almost immediately present, no matter how far away it seems to be at the moment. <...> If we extend the traveller's experience to that of light, then it appears that photons experience no space or time. Relativistic space-time geometry appears to concur, events that can be connected by a light ray occur with ‘zero’ space-time separation regardless of their physical separation in space. In effect, it would seem that light occupies a time-space no-man’s land in which photons individually experience no space and no time during their transfer from the source to the destination. If relativity holds, then a photon appears to go from one present to another without experiencing space or time. It just ‘is’, without time or space, very like a ‘time capsule’ of energy frozen in stasis that only ‘comes alive’ when it interacts.

For example, it is expected that gravitational collapse of objects with masses greater than a few solar masses should lead to the formation of a compact object whose surface corresponds to a quantum critical surface for space-time, and whose interior differs from ordinary space-time only in having a much larger vacuum energy."''</ref> At that point, the protons will undergo a leaplike redshifting (magnification), so that the universe will instantaneously return to its initial state, which is a uniform blanket of magnified primeval protons ([[The_End_of_the_World#The_current_size_of_the_proton_versus_the_Planck_length|the radius of a primeval proton is about 7.4 metres—10'''16''' times larger than the current radius]]).

Thus the universe will begin a new cycle of its gravitational evolution. Due to the spatiotemporal fractality of the holographic universe, all of the cycles are perfectly identical—in about 13 billion years from now, you will again be reading this very webpage.

The commercial media have no choice but to deliver a younger audience to these corporations. Youth lifestyle is subsequently promoted by the media as the pinnacle of Western culture.

''(An essay by [http://eschatopaedia.webs.com/ '''Eschaton'''])''

Novelty Theory, also known as Timewave Zero, is an extension of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_North_Whitehead Alfred North Whitehead's] process philosophy developed by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terence_McKenna Terence McKenna] from 1971 until his death in the year 2000.

==Method==
McKenna uses Alfred North Whitehead's epistemology:
<blockquote>
We have to understand. Whitehead said, "Understanding is the apperception of pattern as such." ... The imagination is everything. [McKenna, Terence ♦ [http://www.erowid.org/culture/characters/mckenna_terence/mckenna_terence_maps_hyperspace.shtml New Maps of Hyperspace]]
</blockquote>
According to Whitehead, any system is a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-reference self-referential] pattern perceivable solely by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intuition intuition]:
<blockquote>
These ultimate notions of 'production of novelty' and 'concrete togetherness' are inexplicable either in terms of higher universals or in terms of the components participating in the concrescence. The analysis of the components abstracts from the concrescence. The sole appeal is to intuition. [Whitehead, Alfred North ♦ [http://web.archive.org/web/20080201012356/www.levity.com/eschaton/novelty.html Process and Reality] p. 26]
</blockquote>
==Concepts==
===Novelty===
Novelty Theory is based on Alfred North Whitehead's process philosophy.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20080201012356/www.levity.com/eschaton/novelty.html Novelty & Concrescence] A page from Terence McKenna's website ♦ ''"I have elaborated Whitehead's notion of novelty into a formal mathematical speculation concerning the fundamental architecture of time."''</ref> Whitehead defines novelty (new information) as new interconnectedness:
<blockquote>
Creativity is the principle of novelty. Creativity introduces novelty into the content of the many, which are the universe disjunctively. ... The ultimate metaphysical principle is the advance from disjunction to conjunction, creating a novel entity other than the entities given in disjunction. ... In their natures, entities are disjunctively 'many' in process of passage into conjunctive unity... Thus the 'production of novel togetherness' is the ultimate notion embodied in the term concrescence. [Whitehead, Alfred North; Sherburne, Donald W. ♦ [http://books.google.com/books?id=IjxMRgYhQPYC&pg=PA34&lpg=PA34&dq=%22The+ultimate+metaphysical+principle+is+the+advance+from+disjunction+to+conjunction%22&source=bl&ots=-mJiP-dHJi&sig=xm23TqeK2vy5DmXQWO1HCFfSWpc&hl=en&ei=tskGSqeeGI26sga6l52bCA&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=7 A Key to Whitehead's ''Process and Reality'']]
</blockquote>
McKenna's definition is the same:
<blockquote>
Novelty is density of connection. [[http://www.scribd.com/doc/1875926/Terence-McKenna-Live-in-New-York-April-25-1996?autodown=pdf Terence McKenna at St. John the Divine's Cathedral] April 25, 1996]

===Eschaton===
The universe converts its [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potential_energy#Gravitational_potential_energy gravitational potential energy] into its [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_binding_energy gravitational binding energy]:
<blockquote>
The gravitational binding energy of a system is equal to the negative of the total gravitational potential energy, considering the system as a set of small particles. [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_binding_energy Gravitational binding energy] Wikipedia]
</blockquote>
The Eschaton is the state of the minimum [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potential_energy#Gravitational_potential_energy gravitational potential energy], towards which the universe is evolving:
<blockquote>
The universe is being pulled from the future toward a goal that is as inevitable as a marble reaching the bottom of a bowl when you release it up near the rim. If you do that, you know the marble will roll down the side of the bowl—down, down, down—until eventually it comes to rest at the lowest energy state, which is the bottom of the bowl. That’s precisely my model of human history. [McKenna, Terence ♦ [http://www.drugnerd.com/archives/5/approaching-timewave-zero-by-terence-mckenna/ Approaching Timewave Zero] ''Magical Blend Magazine'', Issue 44, November 1994]
</blockquote>
Simultaneously, the Eschaton is the state of the maximum [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_binding_energy gravitational binding energy]:
<blockquote>
...the story of the universe is that information, which I call novelty, is struggling to free itself from habit, which I call entropy... and that this process... is accelerating... It seems as if... the whole cosmos wants to change into information... All points want to become connected... The path of complexity to its goals is through connecting things together... You can imagine that there is an ultimate end-state of that process—it's the moment when every point in the universe is connected to every other point in the universe. [[http://www.scribd.com/doc/1875926/Terence-McKenna-Live-in-New-York-April-25-1996?autodown=pdf Terence McKenna's workshop held in the summer of 1998]]
</blockquote>
The maximum interconnectedness is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonlocality nonlocality]:
<blockquote>
In other words, technologies seem to be converging toward opening up the Bell-nonlocal quantum realm, where, presumably, all the intelligences of the universe are communicating in some kind of standing wave form. [[http://deoxy.org/tmab_4-1-99.htm Terence McKenna's interview on the Art Bell Show] 4/01/1999]
</blockquote>
The overtly [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonlocality nonlocal] Nature will lose its objectivity and become a mere extension of the human imagination ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reality_warping reality warping]):
<blockquote>
The imagination is a dimension of nonlocal information. [[http://www.matrixmasters.net/blogs/?p=275 A Few Conclusions About Life] Terence McKenna's podcast]
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
What is happening to our world is ingression of novelty toward what Whitehead called "concrescence," a tightening gyre. Everything is flowing together. The "autopoetic lapis," the alchemical stone at the end of time, coalesces when everything flows together. When the laws of physics are obviated, the universe disappears, and what is left is the tightly bound plenum, the monad, able to express itself for itself, rather than only able to cast a shadow into ''physis'' as its reflection. I come very close here to classical millenarian and apocalyptic thought in my view of the rate at which change is accelerating. From the way the gyre is tightening, I predict that the concrescence will occur soon—around 2012 AD. It will be the entry of our species into hyperspace, but it will appear to be the end of physical laws accompanied by the release of the mind into the imagination...

===Timewave===
According to McKenna, when the accelerated accrual of information is graphed over time, a fractal waveform results. The waveform's last period (1945–2012 AD) is known as "timewave zero." McKenna had chosen the beginning of the final timewave by looking for a very novel event in recent history; the event he chose was the atomic bombing of Hiroshima (6 August 1945). However, the 13-billion-year-long fractal wave of novelty is a wave of information, and its last period (timewave zero), during which information is generated at the fastest rate, is inextricable from computer technology, as stated by McKenna himself:
<blockquote>
I’ve been talking about it since 1971, and what’s interesting to me is at the beginning, it was material for hospitalization, now it is a minority viewpoint and everything is on schedule.

==Explanation==
Both the universe's matter and the vacuum are undergoing an autocatalytic gravitational condensation, during which the more dense matter condenses increasingly faster that the less dense vacuum, so that from the perspective of matter, the vacuum appears to be expanding with an exponential acceleration. At that, the condensing matter radiates its entropy into the ambient vacuum.<ref>Beckenstein, Jacob D. ♦ [http://sufizmveinsan.com/fizik/holographic.html Information in the Holographic Universe] ''Scientific American'', August 2003 ♦ ''"The entropy of a region uniformly filled with matter and radiation is truly proportional to its volume."''</ref> The growth in the relative volume of the vacuum dilutes the entropy emitted by matter and thus makes the loss of entropy by matter irreversible.
<blockquote>
The entire evolution of the star is toward a condition of greater order, or lower entropy. It is easy to see why. In a hydrogen star each nucleon can move willy-nilly along its own trajectory, but in an iron core groups of 56 nucleons are bound together and must move in lockstep. Initially the entropy per nucleon, expressed in units of Boltzmann's constant, is about 15; in the presupernova core it is less than 1.

The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck_constant Planck constant]—the energy barrier between the vacuum's virtual microstates and real macrostates—is a measure of the vacuum's entropy.

General relativity predicts that gravitational radiation should exist and propagate as a wave at the speed of light. To avoid confusion, we should point out that a slowly evolving source for a weak gravitational field will produce, according to general relativity, similar effects to those we might expect from Newtonian gravitation. In particular, a slowly evolving Coulomb component of a gravitational field should not be confused with a possible additional radiation component; see Petrov classification. Nonetheless, any of the Petrov-type gravitational field obeys the principle of causality, so that the slowly evolving "Coulomb component" of the gravitational field can not transfer information about position of the source of the gravitational field faster than the speed of light.

Thus, the universe's gravitational field is subdivided into the Newtonian [http://encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/Gravitoelectric+field gravitoelectric field], whose intensity is below the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck_constant Planck constant], and the Einsteinian [http://encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/Gravitomagnetic+field gravitomagnetic field], whose intensity is above the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck_constant Planck constant].

The [http://encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/Gravitoelectric+field gravitoelectric field] is not quantized into any real particles, because its intensity is below the smallest quantum of action—the Planck constant.

Since the intensity of this instantaneous action at a distance is below the Planck constant, it cannot transmit information in quantized (discrete) form:
<blockquote>
The basically new features of the quantum theory come mainly from the new properties of the quantum potential. Of these, one of the most important is that this potential is related to the Schroedinger wavefunction in a way that '''it does not depend on the intensity of the waves but only on the form'''. This implies that the Schroedinger wave does not act like, for example, a water wave on a floating object to push the particle mechanically with a force proportional to its intensity. Rather, a better analogy would be to a ship on automatic pilot guided by radar waves. The ship with its automatic pilot is a self-active system, but '''the form of its activity is determined by the information content''' concerning its environment carried by the radar waves. '''This latter is independent of the intensity of these waves (as long as they can be received by the equipment available) but depends only on their form''', which in turn reflects the form of the environment. <...> Even at distances so great that the wave intensity is small, the trajectory of the particle can strongly reflect distant features of the environment. <...> At first sight, it seems that such a non-local connection, that can produce a kind of instantaneous contact of distant particles would violate the theory of relativity, which requires that no signal can be transmitted faster than light. It is possible to show, however, that the quantum potential cannot be used to carry a signal, i.e., that it could not constitute a well-ordered series of impulses that could transmit a well-defined meaning.

Secondly, in a many-particle system, the interaction of the particles may be thought of as depending on a common pool of information belonging to the system as a whole, in a way that is '''not analyzable in terms of pre-assigned relationships between individual particles'''. This may be illustrated in terms of the phenomenon of superconductivity. Now, at ordinary temperatures, electrons moving inside a metal are scattered in a random way by various obstacles and irregularities in the metal. As a result, there is a resistance to the flow of electric current. At low temperatures, however, the electrons move together in an organized way, and can therefore go around such obstacles and irregularities to re-form their pattern of orderly movement together (see Illustration 1). Thus they are not scattered, and therefore the current can flow indefinitely without resistance.

'''Illustration 1.''' Superconducting current flowing around an obstacle.

A more detailed analysis shows that the quantum potential for the whole system then constitutes a non-local connection that brings about the above-described organized and orderly pattern of electrons moving together without scattering. We may here make an analogy to a ballet dance, in which all the dancers, guided by a common pool of information in the form of a score, are able to move together in a similar organized and orderly way, to go around an obstacle and re-form their pattern of movement.

If the basic behaviour of matter involves such features as wholeness, nonlocality and organization of movement through common pools of information, how then do we account for ordinary large-scale experience, in which we find no such features? It can be shown (Bohm & Hiley, 1987) that at higher temperatures, the quantum potential tends to take the form of independent parts, which implies that the particles move with a corresponding independence. It is as if, instead of engaging in a ballet dance, people were moving independently, each with his own separate pool of information. They would then constitute a crowd, in which the organized movement of the ballet has broken up.

<blockquote>
Thermodynamic entropy and Shannon entropy are conceptually equivalent: the number of arrangements that are counted by Boltzmann entropy reflects the amount of Shannon information one would need to implement any particular arrangement. The two entropies have two salient differences, though. First, the thermodynamic entropy used by a chemist or a refrigeration engineer is expressed in units of energy divided by temperature, whereas the Shannon entropy used by a communications engineer is in bits, essentially dimensionless. That difference is merely a matter of convention. Even when reduced to common units, however, typical values of the two entropies differ vastly in magnitude. A silicon microchip carrying a gigabyte of data, for instance, has a Shannon entropy of about 10'''10''' bits (one byte is eight bits), tremendously smaller than the chip's thermodynamic entropy, which is about 10'''23''' bits at room temperature. This discrepancy occurs because the entropies are computed for different degrees of freedom. A degree of freedom is any quantity that can vary, such as a coordinate specifying a particle's location or one component of its velocity. The Shannon entropy of the chip cares only about the overall state of each tiny transistor etched in the silicon crystal—the transistor is on or off; it is a 0 or a 1—a single binary degree of freedom. Thermodynamic entropy, in contrast, depends on the states of all the billions of atoms (and their roaming electrons) that make up each transistor. As miniaturization brings closer the day when each atom will store one bit of information for us, the useful Shannon entropy of the state-of-the-art microchip will edge closer in magnitude to its material's thermodynamic entropy. When the two entropies are calculated for the same degrees of freedom, they are equal. [Bekenstein, Jacob.

In the result, the extraterrestrial universe reaches the state of ''zero entropy'', while the planet Earth enters the state of ''maximum negentropy''. The state of zero entropy is the '''zero-information state''' of a cold [http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/74640/Bose-Einstein-condensate Bose-Einstein-condensate]); the state of maximum negentropy is the '''maximally informative state''' of a high-temperature [http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/74640/Bose-Einstein-condensate Bose-Einstein-condensate]—Life'''<ref>Poccia, Nicola; Ricci, Alessandro; Innocenti, Davide; Bianconi, Antonio ♦ [http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?artid=2695269 A Possible Mechanism for Evading Temperature Quantum Decoherence in Living Matter by Feshbach Resonance] Department of Physics, Sapienza University of Rome ♦ ''"... the living state is a practical realization of a Bose-condensate."''</ref>''').

Entropy ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complexity#Disorganized_complexity_vs._organized_complexity disorganized complexity]) is the mother of information ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complexity#Disorganized_complexity_vs._organized_complexity organized complexity]) Therefore, by draining the extraterrestrial universe of entropy, '''the informational progress of the Earth drains the extraterrestrial universe of information—life''':
<blockquote>
It is interesting to observe that the kind of rigid “order” which is static or expresses very few degrees of freedom is very much the kind of order that results when quantum processes are constrained to operate collectively on a macroscopic scale—which means isolating them from environmental complexities, principally thermal. <…> If this kind of non local behaviour were typical of macroscopic phenomena, the organisation of the world around us would be very different: there would be no “us” for the world to be around. If the waters in the earth’s oceans behaved like liquid helium, for example, they would have some spectacularly jerky “tidal” properties, and the continuously varying angular momentum of the sea bed at different latitudes due to the rotation of the earth would tend to induce instantaneous transitions between ocean “currents” in different quantum states. This ocean would resemble fluid slabs sliding past one another along quantum fracture planes. The superfluid would not stop on the shore but would creep up cliff faces (or leak through them by quantum tunnelling) to cover the land! In this kind of simple order, processes march in step with dramatic but curiously sterile results: On the most obvious level, nothing could live in an ocean consisting purely of helium at −271°C; further, life would be impossible in a medium which was “purely” of anything; and more fundamentally '''this kind of nonlocal “order” would have no room for information'''. In the absence of any effective temperature gradient from pole to equator, the helium ocean’s countless billions of atoms could do nothing but drift like vast rafts of coherent sludge between states of quantised angular momentum, a highly ordered “marine environment” but one with no prospect at all of emergent complexity. But if we disrupt this rigid order into “disorder” by supplying incoherent energy, what happens? We supply heat and the superfluid order is destroyed, helium atoms begin random jostlings, some fluid sinks, some rises, convection cells develop, currents flow, some helium starts to evaporate, and suddenly there is circulation, thermodynamic complexity and the capacity to “do work”. Curiously, although the state with which we began, close to the zero point energy of liquid helium, was a state of zero entropy and therefore—by convention—the state of minimum disorder, or maximum order, only the incoherent disruption of this order into a state of high entropy is capable of exhibiting any '''interesting order'''. Only stochastic behaviour allows for the emergence of new levels of dynamic equilibrium and all the tangled, multi levelled richness of natural “laws”. The zero-point state of quantum superfluidity is an applied thermal constraint, a constraint which, like an anatomical dissection, exposes the mechanism in a state which is the quantum analogue of stasis but which in the act cuts off its means of expressing connectivity with the nonlocally looped universe, '''robbing it of life'''. A quantum system under such constraint is '''a corpse on a cold slab.'''

The more "dead" the extraterrestrial universe becomes, the faster it yields its remaining information to the central attractor of the gravitoelectric drainage system—the planet Earth—which explains why the Earth's informational progress is exponentially accelerating:

<blockquote>
The conventions of relativity say that time slows down as one approaches the speed of light, but if one tries to imagine the point of view of a thing made of light, one must realize that what is never mentioned is that if one moves at the speed of light, there is no time whatsoever. There is an experience of time zero. So if one imagines for a moment oneself to be made of light, or in possession of a vehicle that can move at the speed of light, one can traverse from any point in the universe to any other with a subjective experience of time zero. This means that one crosses to Alpha Centauri in time zero, but the amount of time that has passed in the relativistic universe is four and a half years. But if one moves very great distances, if one crosses two hundred and fifty thousand light-years to Andromeda, one would still have a subjective experience of time zero.
The only experience of time that one can have is of a subjective time that is created by one's own mental processes, but in relationship to the Newtonian universe there is no time whatsoever. One exists in eternity, one has become eternal, the universe is aging at a staggering rate all around one in this situation, but that is perceived as a fact of this universe—the way we perceive Newtonian physics as a fact of this universe. One has transited into the eternal mode. One is then apart from the moving image; one exists in the completion of eternity.

'''Illustration 6.''' The above graph shows the journey times for the twenty runs from the ship viewpoint. Notice that as speeds approach the speed of light, the journey times reduce dramatically, even though the actual increments in speed appear slight. On the 20th run, at 1048575/1048576 of the speed of light, the distance shrinks to 0.0059 light years and the ship and occupants experience a journey time of 2.15 days. Whereas to those on Earth the ship looks almost ‘frozen’ and the journey still takes 4.27 years, plus a couple of days. For the ship, both transit time and distance drop toward zero as his speed approaches the speed of light. To those at ‘rest’ on Earth, the ship's existence appears to ‘slow’ towards stasis near the speed of light. <...> This feature of Relativity, wherein an observer's relationship to another location can be dramatically altered by acceleration is often not apparent in a geometrical representation. Nevertheless it is a "standard" feature of relativity. Under sufficient acceleration, a remote location can become almost immediately present, no matter how far away it seems to be at the moment. <...> If we extend the traveller's experience to that of light, then it appears that photons experience no space or time. Relativistic space-time geometry appears to concur, events that can be connected by a light ray occur with ‘zero’ space-time separation regardless of their physical separation in space. In effect, it would seem that light occupies a time-space no-man’s land in which photons individually experience no space and no time during their transfer from the source to the destination. If relativity holds, then a photon appears to go from one present to another without experiencing space or time. It just ‘is’, without time or space, very like a ‘time capsule’ of energy frozen in stasis that only ‘comes alive’ when it interacts.

For example, it is expected that gravitational collapse of objects with masses greater than a few solar masses should lead to the formation of a compact object whose surface corresponds to a quantum critical surface for space-time, and whose interior differs from ordinary space-time only in having a much larger vacuum energy."''</ref> At that point, the protons will undergo a leaplike redshifting (magnification), so that the universe will instantaneously return to its initial state, which is a uniform blanket of magnified primeval protons ([[The_End_of_the_World#The_current_size_of_the_proton_versus_the_Planck_length|the radius of a primeval proton is about 7.4 metres—10'''16''' times larger than the current radius]]).

Thus the universe will begin a new cycle of its gravitational evolution. Due to the spatiotemporal fractality of the holographic universe, all of the cycles are perfectly identical—in about 13 billion years from now, you will again be reading this very webpage.

== Goal of this site ==

* To help trigger awareness of what has been protected from our awareness since we became intelligent hominids.
* To help trigger awareness of what, apart from the above, has been actively hidden from our awareness since the start of the agricultural revolution.
* To bring awareness and understanding of the evolutionary rules and necessities for the emergence, wherever in the universe, of any high intelligence, ever.
* To bring awareness and understanding of the inescapable and necessary evolutionary transitory phase in between the rise of meme-power structures and the (future) start of conscious evolution.
* To bring awareness of the radically impersonal character of the entities in charge of human societies since the agricultural revolution.
* To bring understanding of humanity's present position in the final stages of our own present transitory phase in the evolution of high intelligence, which transition has lasted for some 10.000 years now.
* To spread awareness of the underlying mechanisms, and their evolutionary stability, that enhance and maintain superstition and ignorance on a massive scale up till today, supporting the impersonal meme-power-structures in charge.
* To help bring closer Point Omega.
* [[To finally put an end to war, destruction, genocide and wholesale rape|To finally put an end to war, destruction, genocide and wholesale rape.]]

== What this site is about and what it is not==

'''This site presents data, based on scientific research, suggesting that:'''

# A transition in human society and human behaviour, as described by Teilhard de Chardin and labeled by him as Point Omega, is possible and even likely to occur at some point in human evolution.
# Such a Point Omega transition seems likely to occur in a not very far future. According to some authors, it has already started and is underway.
# "Enlightenment", "spiritual awareness", "God-consciousness" and similar descriptions of certain states of the human mind, can be described and explained in terms from ethology and behavioural sciences. Also their function can be explained and predictions derived about their likelihood and occurrence in human beings.
# There is a very simple common denominator to what many prophets have originally told their people, many messages of which have in the course of time been deformed and corrupted into organized religions that invariably block awareness and understanding of the original messages, wielding massive power over their followers instead of liberating them. This simple common denominator concerns the truth of how the behaviour of ourselves is organized and what alternative perspectives we would have, once awareness of these relatively simple truths has become common knowledge.

'''This site ''does'' however ''not'' deal with phenomena like:'''

# Morphogenetic fields
# Telepathy
# Clearvoyance
# Premonition
# Aura's and chakra's
# Notions from organized religions
# And other phenomena that are beyond the boundaries of present scientific understanding.

'''This site ''does'' deal with known and well established reality'''

It is clear that scientific data as available today cannot give us a complete picture of the universe and its functioning, let alone of our own functioning therein.
No doubt that in the future we will become aware and gather scientific proof of mechanisms that until now seem rather mysterious and incomprehensible to us.
Our picture of the world is incomplete and will always be incomplete, no matter how far our scientific understanding will expand.

This site will not deal with any subject that is still beyond the boundaries of scientific knowledge, nor will we indulge in speculation. This site only deals with data and knowledge that have become firmly rooted in scientific research.

It will present a number of notions, well rooted in scientific research, that, each separately, nevertheless are until now only known in very limited circles of specialists, in spite of the fact that most of these notions are not difficult to understand from a technical point of view. This implies that humanity in principle could have grasped these notions already long ago.

Each of these notions is however subject to specific blindnesses in our collective human awareness.
This site puts a number of these not widely known notions from different scientific disciplines together and will show that removal of the blind spots from a variety of research fields produces an overall picture that explains human history and development from an unexpected angle and allows us to obtain a clearer and very surprising picture of our human potential and future.
