Gravitational Ripples & Universal Consciousness’
Ripples in space-time caused by the R cataclysmic merger of remotely Located black holes have been detected; exactly one hundred years after these "gravitational waves" were predicted by Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity. Space-time was a fabric that could be distorted, an idea Einstein came up with in order to explain the intriguing force of gravity. It was a force that caused sudden acceleration of objects. He predicted that this was more likely the result of distortion of space by the massive mass of a star or planet. Space and time were considered to be a single, interwoven continuum, single manifold called Murkowski Space (in honour of the mathematics professor who added time as the fourth dimension to the Euclidean three-dimensional space. Einstein was his student). The realisation that this entity of space-time could shrink or expand was indeed mind-boggling. It was a travesty of reason to conceive distortion of emptiness. Does space-time objectively exist or is it a distortion of perception? Massive accelerating objects such as black holes would disrupt this spacetime as waves or ripples. These waves would course through the universe at the speed of light. Their amplitude would diminish as they travelled greater distances. Bythetime they arrived on Earth, they would be almost indiscernible, approximately one thousand times smaller than a proton. LIGO's interferometer, with a recent upgrade, made it possible for scientists to detect these tiny measurements of spacetime stretching in one direction and shrinking in another. This was done by using laser beams and the time it took for them to travel the an object. Could space-time be a construct length of the two, four-km-long arms placed at right angles to each other. The ripples generated by these humungous entities would course in one direction and shorten space-time fabric in one of the arms as compared to the other by a very tiny amount. This shortening was measured by the time taken for a laser beam to travel inside a vacuum within the arm, the measurement of an almost intangible, unimaginable dimension-a measurement that demonstrated a heightened, sublime, sensitivity. This perceptive upgrade is testimony to the universe being not only sensitive and intelligent, but connected in a rather inexplicable manner. Could space-time be the invisible web that knits the entire universe into a continuous unbroken fabric and simultaneously sustains the illusion of discreteness? The patio-temporal grid is the foundation for the discreteness of an object. Could space-time be a construct of a software programme generated by complex neural networks? The ever-expanding universe is conscious and self-aware. The rumblings of its own constituents measured, however, raises a quant paradox. Would this black hole or hand their mergers have ever exist ewe had not been able to detect and measure these waves? Quantum mechanics emphasis the need of a conscious observer foe vent to have occurred. Detection these footprints, thousands of lightyear’s away, actually gives birth to tblack holes-a retro causality that concludes the existence of the canonry after verifying its effect, the classical scientific reasoning base causality being hijacked by a here quantum thought process. Our cognisance of these gravitawaves reflects the expansion of ou consciousness. It bears testimony notion of a self-referential universconsciousness rather than the exparof a conscious universe.
