The life of Bob the blob

This ought to set a cat among the pigeons - my hypothesis on the integration of Relativity with neuroscience and beyond ...

Bob the blob was similar to all other blobs. But like all other blobs, he was also unique. He was unique in terms of his origins in that he originated from two unique parent blobs and experienced a unique early, formative environment. These determining influences would influence almost everything that Bob would become – his fears, aspirations, beliefs, choices and illnesses. We can refer to this entire heritage as Bob’s narrative. It is true that Bob freely interacted with many other blobs as well as with the environment at large. It is also true that Bob was influenced by other blobs and by the environment. Bob in turn, influenced other blobs and the environment. But changes in Bob only occurred if there was potential receptivity in Bob’s narrative.

Bob was driven by needs – ‘feel good’ needs: to satisfy the senses; to be recognized and loved; to experience meaning and purpose. Bob’s narrative determined how he fulfilled these needs. Like all other blobs, Bob was made up of billions of smaller mini-blobs. All the mini-blobs worked together in support of Bob the blob. When Bob no longer experienced fulfillment of his needs and gratification, he gradually lost his mini-blobs or came apart until he could no longer function and exist as a blob. Thereafter Bob the blob was no more. But had Bob the blob ceased to exist after he was no longer a physical blob? To answer this we need to examine things in more detail.

Like all other blobs, Bob the blob was always moving. Even when at rest Bob was moving. In fact the entire environment was moving. Actually everything in the universe is moving – from sub-atomic particles to the stars of every galaxy. And everything is moving because the entire universe is moving. And how is everything moving? Everything is moving in a circle – cyclically. The rotating universe causes everything in it to rotate and everything that is rotating in the universe is causing the universe to rotate.

Let’s get back to Bob the blob. Bob and all his mini-blobs are rotating like everything else in the universe. The speed of this rotation is postulated as being near to the speed of light. Now we know from Einstein’s theory of relativity that as we speed up to near the speed of light, we become heavier and heavier until …. we are so heavy that our mass can no longer support us. It collapses in on itself. We in fact implode through a mini-black hole – us as blobs and all our component mini-blobs. The mini-black hole is a passageway to pure energy – the energy equivalent of all that we are physically. We fulfill the famous Einstein equation E=mc². We become the pure energy equivalent of all that we are. Every mini-blob that comprises us becomes its energy equivalent in the form of little packets or quanta (singular is quantum) of energy.

In the energy space there is no separation in terms of distance and time. Quanta of the same energies resonate with each other in a similar way to tuning forks which cause each other to vibrate (resonate) when the correct quantum of frequency/energy is transmitted between them. This resonance occurs between the quanta representing our own mini-blobs as well as with the blob quanta of other blobs. But it goes even further than that. The mini-blobs that comprise Bob’s brain have representation of all that he has sensed and experienced. In these mini-blobs are recorded Bob’s body parts and feelings as well as other people, trees and rocks and things. The mini-blobs that have recorded trees and things will resonate in the energy space with the very people, trees and rocks and things that they have recorded. And so there is a connectivity based on pure energy resonance in the energy space which cuts across the physical barriers of distance and time.

But Bob the blob doesn’t remain in this energy space. Not at this stage of his life. Remember that Bob is on a rotating path. The circular path is the sum of tiny straight line segments all orientated at slightly different angles. Therefore no sooner has Bob the blob spun off into a mini-black hole because he was accelerated to near the speed of light, the next segment of the circle arrives with its slightly different direction.

In this new direction, Bob’s speed is slower and so he returns from the energy space back into the physical realm. And then in this new segment of the circle Bob the Blob is accelerated back towards the speed of light and so he pops off again through a mini-black hole into the energy space. And so the process continues.

Now this dramatic chain of events has several consequences. Firstly it takes a lot of energy to accelerate towards the speed of light. Bob the blob therefore has to absorb much energy from the environment to implode into a mini-black hole. Conversely, on returning back to physicality, much energy is emitted into the environment. This would emit more dramatically than the absorption phase. It can be referred to as vectored emission (explodes outwards all around the blob). The universe therefore comprises only two forces – absorption and emission. And these forces occur around all blobs and things, from the smallest sub-atomic particle to the largest star. Therefore in the vicinity of any blob there is perpetual absorption and emission – the universe is perpetually inhaling and exhaling!

The second important consequence follows on from the first. The process of absorption is greatest around bigger blobs. This absorption translates into gravity and all other forces of attraction. The bigger the blob, the greater the attraction. Emission on the other hand acts by maintaining the integrity of all blobs – this prevents atoms and bigger blobs from spontaneously collapsing in upon themselves. It also tends to increase the distance between individual blobs, from the smallest to the largest. A strange thing happens when blobs are closely grouped together – the different directions of the emission forces cancel each other out while absorption continues. The result is that the blobs are held together. When one or more blobs separate from the group, they are driven further apart by unopposed emission. And so when Bob the blob is grouped, he’s held; when Bob splits off, he’s driven away.

The final consequence of this process of flitting between physicality and the energy space is that during the sojourn in the energy space, resonating quanta leave their imprint upon each other. Therefore on returning to physicality, the blobs that resonated with each other are both slightly changed due to the connectivity that occurred whilst within the energy space. Therefore both the tree blob that Bob the blob saw as well as Bob, are both imprinted with the other. All resonating blobs continue to change in minute ways based on this dynamic. For as the great quantum physicist David Bohm said, ‘There are no nouns, only very slow verbs.’.

Insofar as the mini-blobs in Bob’s brain supporting Bob’s narrative are concerned, resonance and imprinting will not directly create new mini-blobs of representation. Rather, the process may excite existing mini-blobs of representation and trigger the formation of new mini-blobs of understanding, emotion and gratification. However the final representation will always be limited by the prevailing narrative which has existed since Bob’s early deterministic period.

And lo and behold there comes a time, after much flitting between the physical and the energy space, when Bob begins to wane in terms of his meaning and purpose. And with this waning comes diminishing gratification which leaves many of Bob’s narrative-supporting mini-blobs somewhat ragged. Eventually Bob begins to lose supportive blobs which begins to impair his function. Now if Bob loses supportive physical mini-blobs while in the energy space, the energy equivalent quanta cannot return to physicality – they’ve lost their mini-blob receptacles! And so progressively, parts of Bob are lost in physicality while their energy equivalents in the energy space continue to accumulate. Eventually Bob loses too many supportive mini-blobs and ceases to exist as a physical entity. Essentially Bob is physically dead and Bob as a big blob, composed of many supportive mini-blobs, decomposes from the composition.

But where is Bob? Bob is intact in the form of his energy equivalent in the energy space …. Here his representative quanta continue to resonate with the resonating pool.
