Wormholes and Evagelion have nothing in common
I was looking through my usual sites, looking for a way to get rid of boredom…. though i really should be studying for my exams…. no thanks to my stupidity, i flunked my midterm. Not a major flunk that i can’t recover form, but now i’ve got to put my ass on the line…. AGAIN. DAMMIT! Why can’t i focus!?
Anyway, i saw a bunch of doujins called “Epilogue of Evagelion”, that details what would happen after the end of Evagelion, with the World devoid of all humans except for Shinji and Asuka. The two decide to travel to Germany to where Asuka was born and raised, and along the way a lot of funny stuff happen. But the most important thing of the doujin is that the two of them begin to accept their reality, accept their weaknesses and still continue walk together. Asuka undergoes the most change as she slowly begins to realize and accept her love for Shinji. Shinji already knew he likes Asuka, and being glad that Asuka is still with him. The two finally reach Germany’s Nerv branch and settle down. It would be here that Asuka finally admits that she likes him. Fast forward many years and you see their children. All 8(+1 still in Asuka) of them.
The two eldest look like Rei and Kaoru. The Rei look-a-alike is called Mei, and is considered the most serious and hardworking. It is possible for a child of Shinji and Asuka to look to Rei since Rei is essentially a clone of Shinji’s mother. The next two is best described as genderbent Shinji and Asuka. A male Asuka who likes fishing (and also looks a bit like Kaoru), and a female Shinji who wears glasses (in the doujin before the time skip, there was a chapter where Asuka forced Shinji to cross-dress and was surprised to find out that he looked cute as a girl and dubbed the new Shinji as Shinko since ‘Ko’ is often used to put at the end of names to make them feminine). The next two look exactly (and also act exactly) like Shinji and Asuka. The last two are still small children but they look like Shinji and Asuka as well.
Well, anyway, the entire series is very nice and touching. I just can’t keep away from them no matter how many times i read it. And i end up listening to the Eva ver. of Fly me to the Moon. Asuka sings it quite a number of a times to Shinji (who doesn’t understand english so she punches him for being dense). I don’t know what it is about this doujin but it is very…. fulfilling? I don’t know how to explain it well, but reading it makes me feel warm and fuzzy and whole…. i know, i’m freaking myself out too. And i’m singing Fly me to the Moon!!!! GAH!!! !@$%$@$&*%$*(&)$!@#~!&!!!!
And onto the next topic. TIME TRAVEL.
Or more like Wormholes.This is one of those times when i just spout of random nonsense so ignore unless you want to be amused by random crap. Another Steven Hawkings special on Discovery channel aired not too long ago and it discussed the properties of wormholes and time travel.
Now admittingly, i don’t really think time travel is a whole good idea. But what the program says is that by theory, a large piece of mass ( volume or density also counts) would actually slow time around it down. The larger the mass the more time would be slowed. Now what the hell? Is time some sort of breeze that has to twist and turn around objects? Apparently yes, in a layman’s term. But the objects on Earth are too small to radically affect the time as we know it. The Earth’s sense of time is already different from other planets, so only something on the scale of the Sun would really show an obvious change in time. A black hole would do the same. A large mass of super condensed… something, that warps everything, and even light cannot escape it. By flying around a black hole, you can travel into the future… As in, time within the ship flying around the black hole would be slowed compared to elsewhere.
This also applies to travelling close to the speed of light. Travelling at the speed of light, let alone going faster than that speed, is impossible by any means. Light is the main rule that enforces reality unto us. Or something like that. But travelling at the speeds near the speed of light enables us to slow down time within the train. For an object that travels near the speed of light, things would appear to go by quickly. Light is still needed to ground the object to existence, so the speak as if you go beyond that speed, light cannot reach you. Invisible? Not sure. The theory made sense at the time but now i’m just rambling.
A topic that was touched in the documentary was the theory of wormholes. Wormholes are basically tunnels or holes in the fabric of time and space that connects one point to another. Sounds simple enough, but blow it into the sense of space travel or time travel. If you can enlarge a wormhole and travel through it, you could end up at another end of the Universe. Not that it would happen. However it is possible to ‘tune’ a wormhole, so to speak, to be similar. Create a wormhole at one point and create its exit (tune it to be similar) at another point and you have an instant way to travel. This idea is exploited in multiple sci-fi novels, movies and games. Yet to truly understand it, you have to go nuts.
Time is said to be a line. The fourth dimension. We live in three dimension. Width, Length, and height. But time, as physicists say, is also in the form of ‘length’. I have no clue how or what they used to explain, but suppose time can be manipulated…. we know that is possible through large mass objects and black holes and speed that get close to the speed of light. But what about wormholes? It is hard to imagine small tiny holes in the fabric of time and space that are connected to similar holes at the other end of the Universe. But if there is a hole, then there must be an exit. Or not. The very nature of time is rather awkward, unusually subtle and yet violent at the same time.You can stare at the ticking second hand of a clock, and the more you focus on the second hand, the more time seems to slow down. Looking up at the clouds and if you look carefully enough, even on the day with no wind, the clouds would move as time would speed up.
Perspective of the mind is important to how we view time.If we see time the same way as the documentary shows it, then the concept of wormholes is sound… if you actually know what the heck they are talking about. But what if you look at time differently? What if you view time as a type of energy? What if you view time as type of particle? Now, by particle i don’t mean it manifests itself as a material. No, by particle i mean presence. Just like air, time would be all around and yet we do not feel it because we are used it. It is only when we start to think and ponder that we come up with the concept of time. It is by no means a human invention, but thinking as time as something similar to an object would make it seem so.
Creating wormholes and tunnels to allow people to travel across large distances in an instant have long been staples of sci-fi. However each and every one of the dictates that machines used to create these holes and tunnels require a ridiculous amount of energy. But would you really need to? Sure, if you surge two different source of electricity or whatever power (radiation, microwaves or fart power) you can muster directly at each other, you might get a surge. A concentration of that energy in one point. Would two different types of energy mix? Let’s say electricity and radiation? Not a whole lot. Think of them like frequencies off a radio. One is a rock channel and the other is country. They don’t mix and they aren’t on the same frequency. As such, you cannot create a mix tape with rock and country unfortunately (or fortunately for those who have to listen to that crap). And simply forcing the same type of energy into one another would only cause a large concentration of that energy. It would do nothing but maybe tickle the belly of King Kong.
So what? What can we do to either ‘create’ or expand existing wormholes? Wormholes are affected by radiation, natural radiation that keeps it from doing anything drastic. It is like a form of self regulation. Radiation is created and attracted by the wormholes, but they would never be able to enter the wormhole due to distortions in time. The radiation would continue to encircle the wormhole and create energy (feedback) that would cancel out or cause the wormhole to explode (i wasn’t really paying any attention, and really, i’m not a physicist). Either way it’s gone. But then again… radiation. And going back to my example of radio frequencies. It is not hard to imagine that everything has their own resonance frequency. Solid objects that appear in our reality all have time, and it is not hard to say that Time itself has its own resonance frequencies. Remember my exercise of staring at the second hand of a clock or looking at the clouds? You are attuning yourself to a set frequency of time.
Using this thought, what if we could find a resonance frequency for creating a wormhole. Or just tearing time and space for the heck of it. A certain type of energy would be necessary, not even using a whole lot maybe, to create a type of wormhole. To create its exit, you would find the resonance frequency of that wormhole you just made and re create elsewhere. Trying to create the exit of one worm hole next to another is nuts. Feedback would be crazy.
Yeah… crazy, just like my previous ideas for new fuel-free engines. That was really dumb and no, i haven’t figured out a way to stabilize them or even make them functional.
