Still with the poor cat locked in the box since 1937.. whoever missed the previous posts will find them in the first reference...
The cat "Bast", the goddess of ancient Egypt, her name is "Bast" not "Bastet".. "Bastet" is her name when she gets angry and turns into a lioness.. because "Ra" imprisoned in her chest the spirit of the lioness, his daughter "Sekhmet".. so the name became a mixture of "Bast" and "Sekhmet".. and in its pronunciation the last two letters are not pronounced.. "silent".. so her name remains "Bast"...
We were saying "Bast", when she was a tiny kitten, used to play in the sun boat and jump about on the lap of her father "Ra".. she fell into the water.. "Heka", the assistant of "Ra", immediately went down to save her.. "Heka" was magic itself embodied in a human form.. but Bast, out of her fear of the water, scratched him and put out his eye.. so her father "Ra" stretched out his hand and lifted her "by the scruff of her neck".. and in this way he saved her and brought her back up onto the boat..
And from that day on, all cats carry their young like that.. because these are supposedly the descendants of "Bast".. Science tells us today that in this area of a cat there is a bundle of nerves, and if you hold the cat by it, it stops moving and goes still...
"Bast" is the only goddess besides "Ra" whom "Thoth" allowed to enter his library at any time without permission.. as we said, "Thoth"'s mind contained all the sciences and arts and literature and wisdom of the universe.. and his role is that he teaches people and preserves balance.. because if the universe became pure evil and ugliness and ignorance, or absolute good and knowledge and beauty .. chaos would prevail, and.. and it would collapse...
When cats are injured or when they are happy and reassured, they make a purring sound.. whoever has not heard this sound before, it is in the second reference.. this sound is a natural vibration from 25 to 150 hertz.. it heals broken bones and helps bone tissue grow and wounds heal quickly.. and it relieves tension and improves the performance of the nervous system and raises the performance of the immune system.. this vibration, just as it heals the cat, also heals the creatures near it or living around it..
Scientists also discovered that this purring protects the muscles and prevents the loss of muscle mass.. meaning the athletes who play sport, if they live with a cat.. lose fat and do not lose their muscles.. there is more information about this subject in the third reference..
Let us leave "Bast" and "Thoth".. and go and see Schrödinger's cat.. which told us that it is "alive and dead at the same time".. and then it went on to tell us as well that "it is alive with us and dead in another parallel universe..
Professor "Schrödinger" told us: "Anything that can happen.. does in fact happen..."
Where does it happen? In a parallel world.. always, at any choice between two possible outcomes.. the universe at that moment splits and each of these choices happens in a universe..
And if the possibilities are more than 2? 3 for example..? The universe splits into three universes.. in each universe one of the three possibilities happened..
And this gives us a possibility that is very exciting.. and terrifying at the same time.. for what might be happening in other worlds less fortunate than us...
Once, right after I graduated.. I had nothing but one suit.. and a job interview came up at a pharmaceutical company.. so I put on this suit.. and took a taxi.. and got off.. and walked looking for the place where the interview was..
And then I said - cleverly - "It is drizzling and it looks like it is going to rain.. I had better walk under the balconies instead of the rain falling on me"..
I walked about twenty metres.. looking at the papers I had with me and at the numbers of the buildings.. and suddenly I found myself taking a shower of water, something like sewage water.. I did not know where it came from..
I looked up and found an older woman on an upper first floor saying to me: "Forgive me, son, you see it is drizzling and I said it is a chance to wash the window lattice"....!
I said to her: "It is all right, hajja".. and I went back the way I came.. until I got home.. and I called the people at the interview and they told me: "No, that is it, we have chosen another candidate instead of you"...
On 21 April 2016 I read a piece of news by chance about this pharmaceutical company burning.. and who died.. and who was disfigured.. and who was injured...
This happens to all of us..
But in a parallel world.. the possibility was realised that this pharmaceutical company decided to set me a new appointment..
And I worked in it..
And after 16 years.. I died burned in its headquarters..
And in a third universe I was only injured in the fire..
And in a fourth universe I did not go to work that day..
That is what "Schrödinger" said in his explanation of the story of the cat alive and dead at the same time...
And away from personal tales.. in the year 1939.. the Nazi nuclear armament programme began.. and they called it the "Uranium Club Uranverein".. and it included scientists whose names terrify any specialist in the subject.. such as Professor "Erich Schumann" and "Werner Karl Heisenberg", whom we spoke about last time.. the one of the "uncertainty principle"...
For this programme "Albert Einstein" was later nominated.. and they wanted to enlist his help.. but the Nazi Party refused because their investigations decided that he was of Jewish origin..
And here we have two possibilities before us.. they accept Einstein into the Uranium Club or they reject him..
And Einstein's joining of the Uranium Club was rejected...
Here, according to the theory we are talking about.. the theory of "parallel worlds Many-worlds interpretation/ theory of the universal wavefunction".. something strange happened..
The universe at this moment split into twins.. in this twin universe.. the Nazis approved Einstein's joining of the programme...
And the opposite of everything that happened in our world began to happen, the world we are used to.. and know...
The harassment that Einstein was subjected to from the Nazis did not happen..
And he did not travel to America.. and did not present to it his terrifying equation "T = K.S² or E=mc²" which the atomic bomb followed from..
And the Germans arrived at the nuclear bomb before the Americans..
And in this parallel universe.. on 2 September 1945, instead of the Allies announcing victory.. German planes were bombarding "Washington" and "London" and "Moscow" with atomic bombs.. and making an exception of Paris.. because there is no donkey in existence who drops an atomic bomb on a neighbouring country stuck to him...
And the world surrendered to the Nazi forces..
I wonder what this world looks like?
What does the world look like.. in which Abdel Nasser did not lose the war in 1967.. and annihilated Israel and it ceased to exist?
All possibilities are possible.. and every possibility, or more, in every new universe.. leads to the splitting of the universe.. and a seventh and an eighth parallel universe come into being...
Meaning every little while the universe splits and its splits are infinite.. and the number of parallel universes is infinite...
The subject goes round and round with us and "Heisenberg" tells us what we said last time: "As I told you.. every time matter behaves as energy and energy as matter.. it gives us different possibilities.. and there is no way to grasp the absolute truth"...
Today we know that this is the dual nature that is called "Wave/particle duality"..
Material particles.. like electrons.. which sometimes behave as energy.. and another time behave as matter...
Energy which behaves as matter.. and another time behaves as waves and bundles of energy...
Can energy behave as matter? Yes it can.. Light is made up of very small, non-material photons of zero mass.. and yet these photons sometimes.. behave as matter.. as the video with this post shows...
And because it is impossible for you to judge how it behaves without observing it.. Dr Schrödinger told us: "I cannot judge with certainty.. because the particle is in a state of motion.. as long as I am not seeing.. then it is both together"..
And there was someone who was thoroughly disgusted by this whole "Schrödinger's cat" story and the universes that split every little while because the missus cannot make up her mind whether to cook courgettes or potatoes today.. and the stories of "the particle sometimes deals as matter and sometimes as energy.. because there is no way to grasp the truth"..
And he did not like the talk.. and he entered into many debates because of it until his death..
This man was a bogeyman and a headache for the physicists from the day he appeared until today, after he died more than half a century ago...
This man's name was Albert..
Albert Einstein...
And that leaves the subject with more to come...
