QUANTIME

Observation I have been looking at a 3D model of the Laniakea supercluster of galaxies, containing among others the Virgo Cluster, in which we know our Milky Way to exist. Regardless of me being an observer down on Earth in that Milky Way, or an observer even outside the imaginary 3D box in which Laniakea was situated, from any random point in the universe, I can only observe things that have already happened, have already come to be or have already extinguished. I can never see things that must yet come into existence. Therefore anything that is observed is a result of events that have already occurred and as it only becomes visible when its emitted or reflected light has had the time to reach me/the observer, I can only look into the past.

The present, the ‘right now’, the ‘here’ within one planck time, is al...

As of young age, I have always had a huge fascination for astronomy. At times, already an adult, I would devour the Cambridge Encyclopedia of Astronomy or gaze at the heavens at night to sense the depth of space. It did however not run down to an interest in the technology to get there, but merely the awe about all that is, how it came to be and how it works.  I could have sat and regret my lack of mathematical abilities, but in practice I seemed to have developed a sensitivity for various areas of physics, like that of equilibrium, momentum and resistance. With this Fingerspitzengefühl I dared into the realm of astrophysics and quantum field theory.  I am deeply amazed by the works of the great minds, that drove this area of science into the 21st century status quo. From all the ancient Greek philosophers, Galilei, Copernicus and Newton via Planck, Bohr, Einstein and Russel to Hawking, Greene, Higgs, Filippenko, DeGrasse Tyson, Rebecca Smethurst, Matt O'Dowd and man...
