The Physics of the Gods

There is a new cosmological effort striving for the truest and most
complete description of reality based on all of the information in
the world. It is called "Interdiscipline Synthesis Cosmology",
abbreviated "ISC", which is essentially a label for the understanding
of the universe obtained from combining bodies of knowledge from a
large number of intellectual endeavors.

This effort is most properly considered a natural philosophy rather
than a purely scientific theory or fundamentally religious doctrine,
or an in-between compromise of both, for it will necessarily include
many theories and doctrines, and many other philosophies, as well as
information from all myth, legend, folklore, ancient history, and
other knowledge that can be applied to cosmology. It must necessarily
submit to the scientific method, of course, but that cannot be used
as an excuse to dismiss non-scientific concepts that can be brought
to bear on the subject of cosmology.

Indeed, a complete ISC would include all of the information in the
world as its overall database.

As a result of investigating the possibility of constructing a valid
ISC, then, it seems that one can conclude that the arts are the
natural synthesis of physics and spirituality. There is something all-
inclusive about artist's ability to express themselves; to imagine
complicated subjects; to create new things; and to tap into those
metaphysical aspects of our humanity that cannot be detected even by
the most advanced of scientific instruments, and which theologians
are always struggling to explain. The arts can thus be viewed as the
key to understanding how we can combine all of the seemingly
contradictory information we collect in coming up with a complete
ISC.

Ideally, therefore, given sufficient time for development, we can use
ISC as a basis for devising an ISC Theory of Existence (ISCTE), which
would be designed to comprehensively describe reality both in
scientifically sound and theologically relevant terms. The so-
called "holy grail" of physics, the Grand Unified Field Theory, would
be included in such a theory, as would all pertinent non-physics
philosophies, all religious/spiritual considerations, and so on.

Is not modern physics an investigation into the unseen aspects of
nature?
Is not science-fiction simply a collection of modern myths?
Is not theology essentially a branch of metaphysics?

Scientists are, by trade, involved in uncovering the deep secrets of
nature; the unseen aspects of our existence; the hidden explanations
for how different natural processes work. How then can they continue
to advance our understanding in the future if their
conceptualizations are incomplete?

Yes, science has given us many wonderful things, and has advanced our
understanding of nature, but there is now widespread recognition that
our explanations of natural processes are very limited. And that is
likely to dampen future rates both of technological and cognitive
advancement.

It seems to me that what is needed to lead humans to the next
intellectual step-up in our evolutionary development as sentient
creatures is a method of finding the most comprehensive view of
reality; the most accurate and complete understanding of our
existence - for, without that, we are but a many-minded collective,
groping about individually in-search of personal meanings for our
lives, but otherwise making separate ways through a terribly huge
information maelstrom.

ISC promises to give us that method, which may lead, in turn, to
valid ISC theories.

For instance, there is the prospect that physicists, by ISC, will be
given the means to understand theoretically what they discover as
they delve more deeply into those so-called "unseen" realms of
existence (alternate-dimensional universes) previously
considered "spirit" realms (and therefore called "mythological"),
while theologians will be given a reputable theoretical means by
which they may at last suggest real-world experiments designed to
reveal the nature of spirit energies, and even the very composition
of spirit entities (including those that are considered all-
powerful).

In these respects, it will most likely be the new endeavor of
Tachyonics (the study of tachyons) that make such efforts feasible,
and will therefore allow us to create the ultimate ISCTE.

One outstanding feature of Tachyonics is that it implies the
existence of many living things made of tachyons, including sentient
life-forms. In fact, if we couple the suggestion that tachyons exist
to the suggestion that our universe is only one among billions of
alternate-dimensional universes, then we can conclude (by recalling
the light-cone from Einstein's theory of Special Relativity) that
there is one very special alternate-dimensional universe coexisting
intimately with the observable universe, and that universe is
tachyonic in nature. What is more, this tachyonic universe may well
be populated by aliens made-up of tachyonic analogs of the real and
virtual particles already discovered by experimental physicists.

In other words, if there is a non-zero probability that alien life
exists "out there" in the observable universe, then it is also
probable that alien life exists in at least some of the alternate-
dimensional universes that are postulated to exist; including the
said tachyonic universe.

The entire collection of alternate-dimensional universes with which
we humans may have any theoretical concern (tachyonic or not) is
called the "multiverse". But who knows what may exist in any one of
the included alternate-dimensional spacetime realms?

Indeed, a primary implication here, drawn from the fact that aliens
can be hypothesized to reside in a number of undetectable alternate-
dimensional spacetime manifolds that coexist with our own manifold,
is that some of these aliens may resemble entities with which ancient
people at times came into contact, in events such as encounters,
sightings, and so on, and whom they went on to label as the
various "gods", "angels", "demons", and other allegedly supernatural
forms of life.

Note, therefore, that Tachyonics creates common-ground between
physics and theology, since alternate-dimensional "realms" of
spacetime can now be defined by anyone, from the science-fiction
writer to the scholarly theologian, and that all of these imaginary
realms are allowed to contain any number of alternate-dimensional
things, entities, beings, forces, energies, or whatever else we can
conceptualize for them.

Tachyonics, as a founding endeavor of ISC, also presents itself as a
theoretical extrapolation for curious experimentors to use in
describing and understanding the unseen aspects of existence that
they are now investigating, but for which they previously had no
formal scientific terminology.

To be sure, scientists of the future, performing experiments with
tachyons, will have need of just such a mathematically rigorous but
theoretically flexible representations scheme.

Thus, presently, in realizing that ISC will become useful for
explaining detectable and undetectable aspects of reality, for
describing and quantifying all of the actual-imaginary variables we
will use in the future, in addition to the symbolically-imaginary
variables we are already familiar with, scientists have an
intellectual footing upon which they may design real instrumentation
and test equipment that will allow them soon to detect tachyons, or
tachyon-related energies, in an empirical fashion - which will
inevitably lead to some means of manipulating tachyons, and then to
any number of practical applications of tachyonic energies.

Make no mistake. Tachyonics offers to us incredible technological
advancements - among them instantaneous interstellar communications
systems, the breaking of the lightspeed barrier to spaceflight, and
machines that can tap into unlimited sources of energy. And it will
certainly be ISC that enables us to comprehend the applied science
and engineering required of all such efforts.

Indeed, ISC portends to reveal to us the very physics of the gods.
