多重小宇宙 1.2 | 二次元時間 2.6 | Dimension 1.3.6 | Two dimensional time 2.6 |  A little bit of yourself, 2 | 心靈互聯網 2 | Mind Internet 2

這段改編自 2010 年 4 月 3 日的對話。

但是，記住，那只能作比喻，而並不是實情，因為所有的「主觀時間線」，都會同時影響和受制於同一條「客觀時間線」。任何兩個人，即使從不相遇，兩條「主觀時間線」永不相交，他們的人生歷程，也不可能百分百互不相干。任何一條「主觀時間線」，都不如我所講的「平行宇宙」一般，有機會獨立存在。

不過，你這個講法雖然不是鉅細無遺，但是極度有用，因為它帶出了一個超級重點。現實世界的時間，雖然只有一個次元，但那一個次元，就已經足夠難明了。

剛才我把「一次元時間」講成一條「時間線」或者「因果鏈」，只是為了方便簡化。實情是，「時間」是一個「因果網絡」。意思是，「因」和「果」並不是一一對應。一個「因」，可以引發多個「果」；而一個「果」，又可以來自多個「因」。比喻說，一個學生，會有很多老師；而一個老師，又會有很多學生。「一因多果」和「一果多因」，可以統稱為「多重對應」。

你「現實版二次元主觀時間」的講法，雖然不是分毫不差，但是可信可用，因為，現實世界的「因」和「果」，是「多重對應」的。

多重小宇宙

二次元時間 2.5 | Dimension 1.3.5 | Two dimensional time 2.5 | 孖生宇宙 2.5

這段改編自 2010 年 4 月 3 日的對話。

（安：你剛才提到：

「

所以，我剛才視「多重宇宙標籤」為「第二個時間」次元，是建基於「平行宇宙機」的假設。那個科幻故事的主角，發明了「平行宇宙機」，令到自己可以，由原本的宇宙（甲），走到另一個宇宙（乙）行事。那樣，「宇宙甲」的歷史，就可以透過主角，影響到「宇宙乙」的演化，反之亦然。

」

依你這個講法，除了在科幻小說外，日常現實生活中 —— 如果用比喻 —— 都會有「二次元時間」的現象。）

什麼意思？

（安：那是我將今天討論過的句子，重新組合後的化學作用，奇幻想法：

1. 一個宇宙，有一個「時間次元」，即是有一條「時間線」。「時間線」又可以稱為「因果鏈」。

2. 宇宙的次元數目是「三加一」，即是「『三次元空間』加『一次元時間』」。

3. 我剛才視「多重宇宙標籤」為「第二個時間」次元，是建基於「平行宇宙機」的假設。那個科幻故事的主角，發明了「平行宇宙機」，令到自己可以，由原本的宇宙（甲），走到另一個宇宙（乙）行事。那樣，「宇宙甲」的歷史，就可以透過主角，影響到「宇宙乙」的演化，反之亦然。

雖然，這個宇宙，客觀的時間次元只有一個，即是「客觀時間線」只有一條；但是，這個宇宙中的每一個人，其實各自都有一條「主觀時間線」，因為每人都有自己的歷史發展進程。例如，如果甲乙二人，老死不相往來，他們的「主觀時間線」就永不相交。他們各自的「因果鏈」，就可以視為兩個互不相干的微型「宇宙」，簡稱「平行小宇宙」。

但是，如果甲乙相遇，而相處起來，他們每人的說話和行動，就會影響到對方未來的人生演化。「因」和「果」，未必再局限於同一個人，同一條「主觀時間線」上出現。原本的「平行小宇宙」，不再完全「平行」。所以，要改稱為「多重小宇宙」。

那樣，要指清一件事件時，除了要指出它發生的時間 —— 例如「2013 年 1 月 14 日 5 時 20 分」—— 外 ，還要講清楚，它發生在哪一個「小宇宙」的「2013 年 1 月 14 日 5 時 20 分」。換句話說，你要講清楚，哪個人做了哪件事（因），而導致另一個人去做哪件事（果）。原本的時間標籤 —— 哪時 —— 是「第一個時間次元」；而多重宇宙的標籤 —— 哪人 —— 則可以視為「第二個時間次元」。

例如，醫生甲在 2013 年 1 月 14 日，開了藥給病人乙。病人乙於一星期後，2013 年 1 月 21 日痊癒：

… –> （2013 年 1 月 14 日，醫生甲）開藥 –> （導致）（2013 年 1 月 21 日，病人乙）痊癒 –> …

）

可以這樣說。但是，記住，那只能作比喻，而並不是實情，因為所有的「主觀時間線」，都會同時影響和受制於同一條「客觀時間線」。任何兩個人，即使從不相遇，兩條「主觀時間線」永不相交，他們的人生歷程，也不可能百分百互不相干。任何一條「主觀時間線」，都不如我所講的「平行宇宙」一般，有機會獨立存在。

All children are born geniuses;

9999 out of every 10000 are swiftly,

The time between about 1860 and 1910 seems totally magical to me.

For all of history, people lived, loved, and died. Aside from perhaps a few of them writing their thoughts down, they totally disappeared.

With the invention of still photography, and much more audio and moving-picture recording technology, suddenly you could see and hear people who were long gone.

These folks are not just dead. Their kids are dead, their grandkids are dead, their great-grandkids are probably also gone. Yet we are able to hear them play music, tell stories, and laugh. They might even tell a joke and we can laugh along with it.

It’s as if mankind suddenly came out of a very dark tunnel. We are finally able to really coalesce into a multi-generational conversation about what our humanity means. (A little too poetic. Apologies. I just find it amazing[.])

上山尋寶

這段改編自 2010 年 3 月 27 日的對話。

這句我找不回原文：

The treasure you can find at the top of a mountain is the one you take to there.

你千辛萬苦爬到山頂，所能找到的寶藏，就是你帶去的那一些。

你以前舉過的一個例子是，

讀大學的最大得益，未必是「讀大學」本身。

讀大學的最大得益，有時是「考大學」的過程。

大學之前的四年，準備「考大學」時的壓力，對 潛能的激發、知識的增長 和 意志的磨練，不下於大學時期。

In Praise of Idleness, 2

Posted on by

One of the commonest things to do with savings is to lend them to some Government. In view of the fact that the bulk of the public expenditure of most civilized Governments consists in payment for past wars or preparation for future wars, the man who lends his money to a Government is in the same position as the bad men in Shakespeare who hire murderers. The net result of the man’s economical habits is to increase the armed forces of the State to which he lends his savings. Obviously it would be better if he spent the money, …

What Dreams May Come, 2

Posted on by

Albert, whom the novel identifies as Chris’s guardian angel, explains that Summerland includes many things which inhabitants do not need — such as automobiles — but which exist simply because some people believe they are needed. The particular Heaven of each religion exists somewhere, because that is what members of each religion expect.

After the arrest of Bee Sting, Phoenix Jones and of course the ever-present and looming implications of the Trayvon Martin case, we feel that it’s time to bring the power back where it belongs: The People.

We will be launching a fully functional website on June 1st, in tandem with a physical tour in which we contact each and every PD Community Affairs office and established Block Watch in our respective cities and organize meetings. These meetings will introduce the site, give a tutorial, and drop off our PowerPack… a brief list of solid, low cost resources for initial training and resources to get people started, or to give them momentum to continue their efforts to protect their loved ones and their neighborhoods responsibly.

From there, they can use the website to report crime anonymously, track crime patterns, build block watches, trade skill training between professionals and communicate with each other and their precinct’s Community Affairs offices. In addition, we will be building strong communication and trust between not only ourselves and the community, but as we move from neighborhood to neighborhood, the community itself. As they teach and learn from each other, they will build confidence in themselves and their skills in practical self defense, medical assistance, legalities and most importantly for this kind of work, non-violent communications.

Until it’s obvious

Posted on by

Feynman’s Blackboard, 3

You don’t truly understand it until you think it’s obvious.

— Chris Oliver

This is akin to how a society comes to understand something and why genius ideas sometimes take so long to become accepted. I believe “context” is the underlying principle here.

Arthur Schopenhauer said, “All truth passes through three stages: First, it is ridiculed; Second, it is violently opposed; Third, it is accepted as self-evident.”

If you present a truth to someone whom doesn’t have sufficient context for what you are saying, it may seem outrageous and ridiculous to them because the gap between their understanding and the insight you presenting is too great.

They would have to build up their understanding of the context around it until it expands to a point where they find a connection to what they already know. Then they can start to relate to it and eventually they may see it as self evident.
