Dialogue I

The Well of Imagination

Part 1: There is no beginning and, and there is no end -- so let's just start with the obvious questions:

What is the Well of Imagination?

The Well of Imagination is an infinitely dense, non-physical pool of pure potential.

For understanding's sake, let me break down that statement in a logical manner, starting first with the imagination.

The imagination is a place inside of each person's mind where things that do not exist in the physical world can come to life. The imagination is boundless. There are no laws which govern the imagination. There is no limit to what the imagination can produce. It is chaotic, intricate, and infinitely dense.

Although no thinking human can deny that the ability to imagine exists, most people would say that objects produced within the imagination do not exist. Imaginary objects have no mass, velocity, or any other physical properties to measure. Since the imagination is non-material, there is no way for an impartial observer to sense an imaginary object; there is no substance to bounce a photon off of; there is no energy radiation to measure. The essence of imagination is that it is not real. Imaginary objects are non-physical -- they do not exist in physical space. Imaginary objects exists only in non-physical space, or n-space.

Can you explain some of the properties of n-space?

Yes. But first we must journey through a black hole -- and back to the center of it all.

A black hole is a spacetime phenomena caused when a massive spacetime object, such as a white dwarf star, collapses under its own intense density. When the massive object condenses, its gravitational field becomes so heavy that even light cannot escape. anything that goes into a black hole -- matter or energy -- is theoretically gone for good. No return ticket.

However, as an object falling into a black hole (a book, let's say) crosses the event horizon (the point of no return), something very interesting happens. As the book accelerates towards the immense gravitational field at the center of the black hole, it begins to approach the speed of light. As its velocity increases, so does its mass. When the book finally hits lightspeed, its mass tops out to infinity. It becomes the most massive object in all existence.

Yet, paradoxically, as the book's density increases, its size decreases. The book is stretched down to a tiny, micro-thin string by intense tidal forces, and eventually collapses into the intense gravitational field at the center of the black hole.

The book joins the singularity (the infinitely dense, infinitely small point at the center of the black hole). This singularity is so small that it cannot be measured in physical terms. There is no way to bounce a photon off of it to observe it (because the photon would never come back), and there is no energy radiation to measure (because no radiation can escape a black hole -- and yes, I know what Stephen Hawking has to say on the subject). The plummeting book, once it joins the singularity, is no longer observable; it is no-longer physical; it simply ceases to exist in the physical spacetime continuum. It has entered n-space.

So n-space is an infinitely small, infinitely dense point at the center of a black hole?

Not exactly. The singularity at the center of a black hole is just the bridge, crossover point, or wormhole through which matter passes as it enters n-space. A singularity is a one-way spacetime release valve. From our relative spacetime perspective, yes, n-space seems infinitely small. But here's a secret paradox about singularities I bet you didn't know: Although there are an infinite number of black holes in our own universe -- each one containing its own singularity -- there is really, in actuality, only one singularity. They are all the same one! All black holes lead to the same place -- n-space! And n-space is the singularity. It is the point of infinitely dense potential out of which our local spacetime universe erupted. It is the singularity within each black hole, and it is the singularity at the beginning of time. When matter reaches infinite density, it enters n-space. And conversely, out of n-space springs an infinite potential.

What do you mean by "infinite potential?"

According to the "Big Bang" theory, our entire, physical, spacetime universe erupted out of one such infinitely small, infinitely dense singularity. Everything around you exploded out of this singularity, and everything you will ever see, touch, smell, or experience in the physical world once only existed in this tiny singularity. In other words: Everything that has existed or will ever exist in the physical spacetime continuum also simultaneously exists, independently of time, as an infinite potential in n-space.

N-space contains everything that ever was or will be. Things that don't even exist yet in physical space (like a child that has not been conceived yet, or a work of art that has not yet been started) have existed and will exist forever as pure potential in n-space.

N-space transcends linear time. All things that exist within n-space exist infinitely, eternally, and simultaneously. Because n-space is non-physical and infinite, anything can erupt out of it. It is an infinitely dense, non-physical pool of pure potential.

But I thought that's what you said The Well of Imagination was.

You are correct! And I say that because n-space and the Well of Imagination are one and the same.

So, anything that exists in the imagination exists in n-space as well?

Yes. There is no differentiation between the two. And (and this is the good part), since the primary function of n-space is to realize its infinite potential through an unfolding of linear causality in spacetime, whatever exists in the imagination, no matter how improbable or fleeting, already has existed -- or eventually will exist -- somewhere in the physical spacetime continuum.

But what you're saying is absurd. You're telling me that whatever I imagine in my mind has already (or will eventually) come true somewhere?

Yep. That's precisely what I'm saying. The implications are bold, I know, but there is, as always, a catch. Imagining something is the easy part. Finding out where that snippet of imagination actually manifests itself in physical spacetime is the tricky part.

The main problem is this: Ours is not the only spacetime universe exploding out of n-space. There are literally an infinite number of universes exploding from n-space all the time. There are an infinite number of Big Bangs creating an infinite number of expanding universes. Conversely -- somewhere across the bridge of n-space -- there are also an infinite number of universes collapsing in on themselves and being destroyed in an infinite number of Big Crunches.

And within each universal cycle of "Big Bang" to "Big Crunch," there exist an infinite number of "baby bangs" and "black holes" which pass matter from n-space to spacetime and back again.

Omniversal existence, in its essence, is nothing more than one eternal exploding and condensing (blowing and sucking) back and forth from n-space to spacetime. N-space is constantly realizing its infinite potential through an unfolding of spacetime, and spacetime is continuously expanding, condensing, and collapsing back into n-space.

Such is the Divine Balance of the Omniverse.

We shall now stop for questions, but there is much more to come -- including practical applications of this mad science. Stay tuned.
