Non-algorithmic basis of our thinking

Although it is not easy to go through all the issues in the physical description of the world that are difficult for a layman to understand, it is also very fascinating. In short, we can learn from the dialogue between journalist Jerzy Sosnowski and theoretical physicist Krzysztof Meissner:

1. that we live surrounded by microwave radiation emitted 138 billion years ago, when the universe was emerging from plasma,

2. that our universe could have been infinite from the beginning and as such is expanding exponentially (thanks to the negative pressure from the cosmological constant, which is unknown), at the same time our universe is diluting and has a positive cosmological constant (which is unknown),

3. that from the conventional moment zero, i.e. from the moment of birth of time (zero distances in the solution of the FLRW equation), we count its passage; that then the universe had the form of plasma, was homogeneous – like milk,

4. that only after 380 thousand years, the universe became transparent,

5. that apart from hydrogen, everything in us is made of stars,

6. that it will remain a mystery to us what laws apply in the rest of the universe, which is inaccessible to us, and if the universe is spatially flat, then it is infinite,

7. that there are no boundaries, only smaller distances,

8. that everybody radiates and absorbs, that for some reason we do not disintegrate, and that human actions result from some non-algorithmic basis of our thinking,

9. that the author uses entities that are not directly seen, but anticipated as indirect interpretations,

10. that the author is looking for particles he invented – axions,

11. that quantum mechanics has a lack of determinism built into its structure and that we cannot predict a specific measurement in quantum mechanics,

12. that the bike is difficult to describe,

13. that no electron “remembers” what happened to it before,

14. that “boxer shorts” illustrate the symmetry of the intersection,

15. that traveling by train may result in eliminating the shift by 1/6,

16. that thanks to Roger Penrose the author is alert like a dragonfly,

17. that the author empowered the ants, which speak and reflect on the change in mutual distances,

18. that there are 6 quarks and 6 leptons and neither more nor less,

19. that there was a priest (Georges Lemaitre of Louvain) who FELT that the universe was expanding.

To sum up, it seems that we live in a world that is constantly changing, that we are beings created from stars, that we also have premonitions that may be reality, that our imagination is the greatest gift, that approximations are good, that as physical beings we not only accept something, but also emit something, and that we need to observe or imitate nature (the role of ants and the behavior of dragonflies), that sometimes it is good to take a train in boxer shorts (maybe it is worth trying), or ride a difficult to describe bike wearing boxer shorts(chance for some fractional shift).

In a word, we should cherish every moment in which we do not fall apart, in which we can think, we can offer something or receive something, ride a train or a bicycle in boxer shorts (I suggest the slogan: “Long live women’s boxer shorts!” for gender parity), meet a dragonfly or an ant, or see something in general, and especially the stars – our elemental sisters (parity does not apply here).
