Transfiguro : vox in deserto.

I like the relationship between the different meanings of the word reflection. Thoughts seem to me more abstract, more ethereal, as detached from reality,
and then, of course, that noun is already taken. But I do not want to do like Pascal, we do not belong to the same era, our knowledge is different,
our thoughs are more complex on many subjects, but we can not conclude either from our omniscience or the accuracy of our ideas ;
it's even the opposite, because thought is a gas that fills a balloon, and the real is the outside of the balloon.
The more gas in the balloon, the more it swells, the higher its surface in contact with the outside is ; the more knowledge develops,
the more they reveal an apparent complexity of the ever greater reality.
When thought reflects reality by interacting with it in a mirror game, the real changes my thought and, in return, it changes my perception,
I prefer to call it a reflection. This page aims to note reflections of this nature on any subject, without any order other than chronological.
This is my metaphysical notebook.

Light and time.
For the light, and for any particle moving at the speed of light, time does not pass, so time does not exists.

God and the universe.
We think of God when we meditate on the essence of the universe.

I think so I am.
The 'so' adverb therefore means an implying of the term which precedes it towards the one who follows it.
Let me reason with mathematical logic. In mathematics, the proposal 'A implies b' is equivalent to 'non-b implies non-a'.
But Descartes' sentence does not have a mathematically precise meaning. It must be changed without changing its meaning.
I will therefore take the following start proposal: 'If I think, then it is that I am'. I haven't changed anything, but my sentence is more precise.
The proposal 'If I think is true, then I am is true also' is therefore equivalent to 'If I am not is true, then I do not think is true too.'
We can therefore say that the Descartian formula is equivalent to the sentence 'when I am not, I do not think'.
(I changed 'if' in 'when', which does not change anything in the sense but is closer to the common understanding.)
But then, when am I not? If we agree to rule out religious beliefs, I will no longer be after my death, and I was not yet before my birth.
And, indeed, I did not think before I was born, and everything tends to show that I will no longer think after my death.
So, if, indeed, 'if I am not, then I do not think', is true, it necessarily follows that 'I think, so I am ", is true too.
And, in a way, believing in previous lives, or a life after death, means denying the accuracy of the involvement of the famous little sentence.

The evolution of beauty in Art.
Greek art consists in the representation of the idealized essence, in the sense of Platonic ideas,
of people and nature: adolescents, women, men bodies, are idealized.
Everything therefore takes place as if, for them, beauty was the perfect representation of concepts.
Hence a certain stylization of Greek art.
For the Renaissance, beauty resides rather in the harmony of proportions, even that of bodies.
For example, see The Vitruvian Man of Leonardo Da Vinci.
For the lights, beauty resides in the universal, and in this it comes back to the Greek art.
It also leads to a certain purity, a stylization of representations.
In modern times, and in contemporary times, beauty is what the artist designates as such.
Therefore, the beauty is not fixed, but it evolves with the society of artists.

The role of internet and the education.
The Internet provides access to knowledge. But knowing is not enough, it is necessary to understand.
Internet doesn't improve intelligence, but intelligence is necessary to analyze and understand information.
This is why teachers will have to explain that it is necessary to think about the data found on the net,
and how to think to understand them precisely and finely.

The Genesis.
In the beginning, God created space, time and energy.
The space was so dense that it could not contain neither atoms nor photons.
The spirit of God was in the quantum vacuum.
And god say: let there be photons. And there was light.
And god saw that the light was good.
There was light, and there was dark.
This was the first day.
And God says: let there be atoms in this space,
stars to emit photons and create light in the dark space,
and an earth in some star systems to receive photons.
And god saw that it was good.
This whas the second day.

Mass manipulation.
If manipulation techniques can take various forms, all have in common the achievement of a goal, visible or hidden. Advertising, for example, manipulates to sell.
That of the French through their media, especially those of the public service, enables the cohesion of society to be maintained throughout the country,
while around France there are signs of the refusal of immigration by the peoples. Elections in Austria, Italy, and even Germany, a referendum in England,
are signs of this rejection. The political class is afraid of it. Maybe this class fears that, the geographical distribution of these immigrants
in the country being concentrated in neighborhoods, these will become anti-republican islands, where the police will no longer be able to enforce the law,
as it is already the case in Marseille or Grenoble. There is a form of civil war in these areas, between terrorism and the illegal sale of drugs.
To avoid this, radios sing all day the merits of cultural mixing, the benefits of welcoming migrants,and other nonsense that, constantly repeated,
can indoctrinate some listeners, especially adolescents and young adults, a period of life in which we are often idealistic, unrealistic, and easily influenced.
France Info has become radio-Macron, France Inter radio-Africa, because almost all their broadcasts talk about African immigration,
France Culture, which should be renamed Afrique Culture, happily mixes colonization or immigration with any simple or complex subject,
and even France Musique sings the merits of the mix of cultures (globalization of performers, broadcasts on non-occidental, mostly African music).
The media deny the existence of human races, the parliament wants to change the constitution to remove the word race, and even some researchers use the word ethnic.
Changing vocabulary does not change the real, Novalanguage has its limits. We have not yet renamed the redskins, it's probably for soon. We are in an Orwell novel.
The brains are asked to obey and say good about this mixture, this forced immigration, and they have no choice.
1984 arrives with a few decades of delay. Meanwhile, immigrants and their descendants already are, did I hear, a quarter of the population.
But it is impossible to know precisely, because our politicians, who do not like science in this case, banned ethnic statistics,
as a patient who breaks the thermometer so that there is no proof of his illness.
The future of this country looks sad, and it is neither these manipulations nor this propaganda that will improve it.
Because, for lack of care, the patient who breaks his thermometer dies of the disease that he wanted to ignore.

Read the authors of the past.
Reading books from the past, compared to reading, viewing or listening to contemporary media, newspapers, TV channels or radios,
allows to escape mass manipulation techniques practiced today to the detriment of objectivity. Because either there was no manipulation,
when an author has written to reveal himself to posterity, or there is manipulation only of his own image and not that of the society,
either, if there is a desire for manipulation, then a hypocritical author, this manipulation is linked to a subject that has become obsolete.
And, reading written texts when the audiovisual media did not exist, we are facing a fine and great reflection, accomplished,
fruit of a time where it was known to explain in writing complex reasoning, and where we were able to take the time to read and understand them.
Our time is the opposite of these aspects of the past : crowd manipulation is everywhere, the ability to think decreases and is replaced by the ability to spend,
and the genius of writing is lost in the acceleration of time, which is actually the understatement of the decrease in the time taken to do anything whatsoever.

Matter and time.
I cry it too : I know what time is if you do not ask me, but I do not know it any more when asked.
Matter, however, follows exactly the time in which it fits, it never does not follow his course exactly, nor obey his physical laws.
Matter and time form a faithful and inseparable couple.

The materiality of consciousness.
Epicure is wrong, consciousness is not material, it is electric. But Epicure is right, this electricity has a material support,
the neurons and the structures that they form by associating. Bergson is wrong, the brain is not an organ that actualizes a memory that would lie outside of him.
Current research on the functioning of the brain goes in the direction of a memory capacity of the neurons and the structures that they form with their connections.

How to solve the paradoxes related to time ?
One of the topics in science fiction literature is time travel. The paradoxes to which these can bring are presented but without ever being solved.
The most common paradox is the murder of the father. A character, let's call him Adama, goes back in time until a moment when his father is alive but has not procreated him yet.
He kills him. But if he kills his father before he cares to make himself a descendant, Adama could not be born and, therefore, he never existed.
It's impossible for someone who does not exist to kill someone. But if this father is still alive, he will be able to reproduce, and his son will be born,
this son who will be able to go back in time to kill his father, etc. We enter an infinite loop in which Adama sometimes exists, sometimes does not exist,
where his father dies every second time before fertilizing a woman, but continue the other time to live normally without being worried. It's a nice paradox.
How to solve it by logic ?
Let's take a look at the successiv events. Until the moment our hero goes back in time, everything that happens is ordinary life,
in that at a given moment corresponds a given reality, characterized by a given material state - position and velocity of all existing elementary particles -
and energy - distribution of all existing fields -, if that's enough to describe a reality.
Until this moment, imagine a time axis, the arrow of time somehow, that combines a reality at every moment.
Until this moment, a single material reality corresponds to a time, the arrow of time is unique.
At this precise moment, which I call t1, Adama disappears from this reality, since he has gone back to another time,
which I call t0, previous to t1. The time arrow continues from t1, but in this axis, Adama, all the particles and all the fields that compose it,
suddenly disappeared at the moment t1.
Adama having gone back to t0, he modifies the physical reality from t0. So, this reality has changed from t0 relative to our main time axis.
In other words, a new time axis appeared at t0, corresponding to a new reality. For every moment from t0,
so there is not one but two realities, according to the time axis considered. Adama has created an alternative reality, a parallel universe in a way,
although the parallel adjective, often used, is not precise enough.
In this way, if Adama kills his father after returning to the past, he can only kill him in the new arrow of time, and not in where he comes from.
In this one, his father is still alive, Adama can always be born there and go up the past.
The paradox, which existed only because of a partial way of describing reality, has disappeared. If there is no more jump in the past or the future,
all of the realities will now be described by a time arrow until t0, then by two time arrows, which is equivalent to two alternative realities.
The principle of Novikov is wrong, because it forgets that,
from the instant t0, the material and energetic composition of the universe has changed, that there are therefore, from t0,
two material and energetic compositions of the universe for each instant, therefore two time axes, one with the composition as it results from
reality from time t0 without time jump, the other which differs from t0.
