| Time evolution of the universe |
According to general relativity, clocks and time can only be defined correctly in the presence of matter. In other words, interaction is an essential ingredient and generator of time. More precisely, the consequence of "static" time is that the universe is static and unchanging for outside observers. Inside, participants perceive the evolution of the cosmos through entanglement. Entanglement triggers interaction (decoherence), which evolves toward polar singularities, called white and black holes. The poles also appear in particular solutions of Einstein's field equations. The gravitational effects of
black holes aided their discovery, but
white holes remain difficult to observe due to negative-curving, bulging fields, which deflect incoming energy, even light. As their names suggest, they might be the source of illusory light rays, which poses a significant challenge to their discovery.
Thanks to string theory, it is widely accepted that the universe has more dimensions than we experience. In string theory, the holographic principle recognizes the horizon as the information depository for a given volume of space (
Susskind, 1994). The holographic principle states that the accumulation of information on the horizon, via interactions, turns particles into information-saturated black holes. The Euclidean spatial field, which determines the
highest level of complexity, applies to our world and to life. Evolution is an ever-increasing complexity that works through the self-organization of matter into stars, planets, and living creatures such as us. The apex of
evolution is the appearance of the still-evolving, brilliant mind, which cannot be a uniquely human quality. Some other planets in some other galaxies necessarily nurture life.
The universe's drive toward complexity is humbling, as the most complex matter known to man is the human brain. Nevertheless, the idea that evolution, including societal progress, is channeled toward complexity and order suggests a shining future for the cosmos' intelligent occupants, including mankind.
