Would it be possible to see a decaying wave as it travels through different configurations? Or several decaying waves? Or even see circles that move if a certain energy is imparted to them?
Some simulations of that kind can be found in the playlist czcams.com/play/PLAZp3rbgWLo2VvXUsaiRbw33x2qMKASdF.html There will also be a few more like this one, with different circle arrangements, in the next few days.
I wonder, hypothetically and this isn't going to make any sense, if the universe itself started as a "wave" that sort of disintegrated into "particles" as it passed through a space which is actually some type of medium. E.g., maybe the big bang isn't a bang but a source that has settled into a near steady state w.r.t to the overall universe. That is, these types of simulations are a very simplified and basic view of how the universe really works(after all, they do contain some nugget of how the universe partially works). After all, in some sense the universe is doing something and one can, in some sense, decompose that "something" down into waves(ala Fourier). But it may be that after enough time the "steady state" of the universe has setup certain properties which we, as "living creatures" experience. Even something such as fur or a shovel is just an expression of the "wave" being in a particular configuration at a particular time. E.g., similar to how molecules give different properties, they are just different configurations of "matter"(the "wave" or possibly the change in the "wave"). If one takes a simulation like these and could determine different configurations of the wave in local space then they represent something. To us it is just different orientations of colored pixels but there are many many different configurations and each configuration, like atoms and molecules, represent something different(it is the relative relationships locally that give rise to "stuff"). E.g., Imagine you could do a similar simulation but in 3D or 4D or maybe higher but on a scale several orders of magnitude larger and several orders more complex. Maybe then you would "see" fur, shovels, cars, planets, etc. That is, in some sense, in these simulations the "informational content" is so low due to the limited complexity that the "world" it generates is rather simple. Sure it is visually complex in some ways to us but it will never be able to generate anything beyond transistor outputs and colors unlike the world which is generating the world(so it can "generate" real things). Time is then the "free variable" in the "simulation" in which the entire world "dances to". It's the one thing in which everything references and steps to. So if you could imagine everything in your world just being generated by a single "wave" that has constructive and destructive interference and matter, as you know it, is just the "nodes" that form and represent temporary local steady states. As the system evolves those "nodes"(which we as humans would experience as material objects) shift around, change, "evolve", etc. The local configuration space at any point defines that "world" at that point. I guess the key difference, at least to the way I have think about the world, is that interactions and changes are sort of "unital"(in the sense that they are isolated and independent). But in reality the interactions/changes are just flows and our experiences are what they are because of the vast complexity and variety and our very local nature. E.g., We are in a giant bathtub. Say it has several dyes in it that are immiscible but can mix up to a certain degree(e.g., (sub)atomic physics is trying to determine the local physics at that level). Combinations of the dye give rise to different material things. As one zooms out these combinations give rise to more complex combinations/configurations which give rise to more complex "objects". I'm just describing the idea of how atoms create molecules which create substances/materials which then build larger things. But in reality all this is just the "wave" interfering with itself and all the possible ways the interference can work is the possible "things" that can show up in the universe. What we call "the laws of physics" is more like "the laws of the wave". The main point I'm trying to make is that, in some sense, the universe itself could really be as simple as a "wave" and the complexity that we see it in it is simply the the infinite number of "interference patterns" that it creates and continuous transforms through time as the wave "moves"(which becomes an ever increasing complex function of "waves" because one can decompose the non-wave like patterns into waves).
mos beautiful aniation ive seen in the channel so far
Fascinating.
big fan

man, thanks
You bet!
:O
