This may seam a bit of a long winded explanation of something I’ve been thinking about, but recently I’ve been studying black holes and string theory and found a comparison, The Mind.
A black hole is a region of spacetime from which nothing, not even light, can escape. The theory of general relativity predicts that a sufficiently compact mass will deform spacetime to form a black hole. Around a black hole there is a mathematically defined surface called an event horizon that marks the point of no return. It is called “black” because it absorbs all the light that hits the horizon, reflecting nothing, just like a perfect black body in thermodynamics. There are a few “singularities” (black hole joke) that in principle may appear things of fiction. I’ll start with these ideas.
To an observer on the outside of the black hole observing a person falling into the black hole he/she would never actually see them disappear, the appearance of that person falling into it would be to the observer as to see him slow down and become flattened and stretched against the black holes horizon, but never ever ever will it look as tho they have fallen inside.
Try to imagine a fly landing on a ballon, as you watch, the fly gets flatter and flatter spreading out over the skin of the ballon, but never looking as tho it gets pulled inside.
But to the person falling in or to the fly, he/she would not even know they had passed this horizon of no return.
Yes, there are many many details here that are not true in statement. A person would never be able to survive this they would be traveling at close to speed of light density and temperature would kill them way outside the black hole, but to a photon who could “observe” as we do this is what he could state as true observation as to a photon it would not be affected as humans would be.
Unfortunately for the photon or lets go back to using a person they have passed a point thats known as the even horizon a place where gravitational force exceeds a field line called the swatch shield radius. Things get complicated but the fate of the person is doomed no matter what he does he now only has one destination called the gravitational singularity.
There are many other factors that go into making a black hole, but i only want to try to use these major ones as an analogous for our own minds.
So what would a super massive black hole and our minds have in common?
When you talk in terms of time manipulation (encoded time memories) and entropy I’ve started to see them as very similar things.
To understand what i mean first you must know what entropy is. This alone is a massive subject tied in with the laws of thermodynamics but on the most basic level it simply describes energy within a system. (the universe)
If we use the idea of “bits” of data 1’s or 0’s yes or no answers. 2 possibilities, and we have small boxes to place them in. (full or empty) Entropy put simply is how we monitor this energy (data) in a system. The principle started in the steam engine business when calculating engine pressures, but today we apply it to any system of energy on any scale.
When a person falls into a black hole there “bits” of energy become absorbed into the black holes system, actually also resulting in the mass of the black hole becoming bigger which in turn makes the radial horizon bigger.
With more mass and bigger horizons the black hole becomes stronger in attraction. What happens to this data is to messy to state fully here, but its safe to say at least that this information is never just lost. It can not disappear anyplace it will be locked inside that system until such a time where a black hole will evaporate, eventually radiating this data back outside of its system.
If your still following my rambles well done.
So what do we have here….?
Black Hole
Its a system in space time that self propagates the consumption of bits (information)Holds them in a non physical place what i mean by this is some strange things happen there, virtual particles, quantum fluctuation, vacuum field energy all sorts in multiple dimensions encoding new information inside other information. The more information it has the bigger its horizon.
No one can see inside this place from the outside, they could only see the outer layer like the ballon, and to someone on the inside no matter what they do they can never escape, never send a message outside of the horizon.
Right so what the hell has this got to do with our minds right????
In your own minds ask the question, could i say the following to be true for mind.
A Mind.
Its a system in space time that self propagates the consumption of bits (information)Holds them in a non physical place what i mean by this is some strange things happen there, virtual particles, quantum fluctuation, vacuum field energy all sorts in multiple dimensions encoding new information inside other information. The more information it has the bigger its horizon.
Do you agree i could use this statement again for Mind?
To me the idea of our brains storing information as a computer does is fundamentally wrong. A 100gb hard drive will always be a 100gb hard drive. Putting the entire works of Einstein on it would fit easily but yet the information does not self propagate by expanding. Our minds take in information and by doing so expands ourselves expands to new before unreachable places, or paths.
Our continuous stream of moments in time being flattened into our memory of existence our shell that defines our boundaries.
The human mind is a masterpiece of organization and organizing ability. Everything gets sorted into the appropriate cubby holes — affectionately known asschemas — the epitome of increasing order. The human mind, of course, operates on energy, but the reliance on food intake as the sole energy source constitutes a highly questionable assumption. If in addition we are living in a Connective Universe, Consciousness may be tapping into the Zero-Point Energy, or using Hyperdimensional Physics to advantage.
Perhaps now is the time for physics to include consciousness in the equation. ?
So the life of a mind sucking in energy to expand its own horizons. The photons the sound waves the breakfast you ate this morning there 1”s and 0”s energy you absorb powering the body in turn powering the mind in turn powering body. Self perpetuating system in space time encoding information.
If string theory is correct another thing to realize is that what makes a black hole and what makes you are one and the same thing. Think of it like DNA all DNA is made up of a combination of 4 different proteins, it simply depend what order you place them and out pops a human or out pops a dog. There is no difference in the stuff there made of only the order in which they join.
So fundamentally the stuff that makes our DNA is made of the same string energy that a black hole is just on a different scaling. Water can make an ocean or a rain drop both massively different in scale but regardless you would never see any water run up hill. It has a natural ability and state regardless of scale.
We share another property with a black hole in my mind.
At first a black hole may seam powerful almost infinite power. nothing with mass can ever escape its grip. But this is not quite true. There is an effect called Hawking radiation that is due to quantum effects. Hawking radiation allows black holes to lose mass and energy, black holes that lose more matter than they gain through other means are expected to dissipate, shrink, and ultimately vanish.
Unfortunately we also share this process, basically by the process of being alive we constantly emit energy or go back to entropy and think data or simply 1s and 0s and eventually we give off more than we can recapture and we die.
But whats important to remember is whats left has always been there way before you existed. Where our conciseness goes who knows? that is a question to ask inside your own horizon. But physically for sure your energy goes back into the system 1’s and 0’s infinite possibly your energy move on to be available to be used and captured by new horizons.
When a black hole has died and its amazing force has long diminished what else do you see? you see nothing…no longer can you look and see what once was in its full glory but you will see something….you will see stars shining and asteroids, nebula and expanding galaxies that all once felt the power of the black hole but now its gone and space is still. There futures, paths and horizons all moving but only on obits or paths that was once determined by the hole or further more are now made of what was once trapped away.
Is life is not simply the possibility to expand our horizons to take what we need but always knowing it will eventually do us no good and all. All will be lost. But when we leave we hope to create a phantom hole in others horizons.
Be diligent on seeing that the future exists where we are stood right now, not only in your futures minds eye.
Things orbit past us daily if we absorb to much to quickly we believe to be strong but really we are making ourself weaker but if we absorb nothing our horizons are small. We cant help absorb its our nature but to live a good long strong life we must only absorb reality as this expands us. But to create fields so junk will pass us, junk will only shorten our potential system. As the more junk the more extra radiation we have to burn to cope with the load.
So to me i think we are all black holes, in our nature to absorb but with not enough skill at first to differentiate what it is we do absorb in order for best balance of absorption horizon and life.
But don’t forget you radiate also! All of the time that radiation energy goes into others horizons becomes there reality.
So its all very simple to me radiate what you need yourself.
Love and compassion, so at least the energy of our lives evaporating will eventually be trapped inside other horizons as an essential part and not just junk that will end up killing them.

Get the balance wrong, try to hold on to everything not only truth and your mind will become the most destructive force in the world.
