The Imaginary Part of Action

February 4th, 2010 by aLeX in: theory

A few days ago an interesting podcast was released on Red Ice Creations radio; it featured Holger Bech Nielsen, a physicist in the Niels-Bohr Institute in Denmark, talking mainly about the Large Hedron Collider and Nielsen’s theory about the “bad luck” which seems to have hit the experiment.

It’s an interesting talk, although a bit technical, so I recommend it to ya.

During the talk, Dr. Nielsen talks about the concept of “Imaginary Part of Action”. The action is the “history” of a certain system. This history has caused the state the system is in at the moment, and we call it action.

Now, according to Nielsen, we can say that at the moment of the creation, there must have been some kind of action (imaginary action), and he goes on by saying that for “mathematical” reasons this action must have been the smallest possible, and “negative”. He also states that “the system that wins is the one with the smallest amount of imagination”.

Now, I have a feeling this might tie up in some way with Terence McKenna’s timewave theory. I just don’t know how yet.

What Nielsen’s theory implies is that we are not going to have UFOs landing, our moms shapeshifting before our very eyes, Maytreias appearing in the sky, and so on. It implies change has to be subtle, natural, harmonius, non-traumatic.

Perhaps change within ourselves and change on the outside are connected in some kind of inverse relation. The more dramatically we change within ourselves, the more subtle yet powerful the change will be in the outside world.

My take on 2012

I was around Milano with my bicycle at 3.00 AM when the following occurred to me.

IF Terence McKenna was right, we are experiencing an increase of novelty (which is, the amount of stuff happening in my/your/our life), to culminate in 2012.

In my own experience, which might be different from yours, I am actually perceiving an increase in the amount of “stuff” going on within me. I never have a boring moment. I always feel busy even tho I’m not working at the moment.

So, if my own experience is agreeing with McKenna’s ideas (and with the idea of cycles in the Mayan calendar, and the idea of technological singularity in some way) I then assume it has some sort of truth.

This said, what does it mean that novelty is increasing?
It means that the amount of things happening in a second is increasing.
Time is not speeding up, we are.

As McKenna used to say, it is as if there is an attractor at the end of time (he called it, eschaton).

This attractor does not accelerate time itself, it rather does increase the frequency of the oscillation in our lives.

This can only mean we are approching everlasting life. And it is not going to be through a superhuman ability to live on through the ages. It is going to be through a breakthrough on the inside. Time is not an issue anymore.
