17924 - Τopological Universe
N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Athena Kehagias
It is interesting how we admire a science fiction film, without realizing that the universe we live in and the knowledge we already obtain in regards to its structure, far outweigh the fantastic elements of such a script. One of the most recent examples are the nodal solutions in fluidics. There are fundamental elements on a mathematical level known for years, without even scientists of other fields to perceive that, there are applications even in the practical world.
Now, with genuine experiments, physicists were able to create actual liquid nodes. In this way we observe, that topology has its place here, even though we are talking about the actual world, on a practical level.
It’s not therefore anymore just a theoretical context which supports only the Einstein – Rosen bridges or the closed timelike curves of the General Theory of Relativity. Gradually, a thinking human can imagine, that the universe itself has a topological capacity and it’s not merely a trivial infinity or a sphere.
We don’t examine anymore merely the nonlinearity, the complexity, the self-reference, the fractal etc.
We are now entering into topopology, where the nodes theory, the links theory, will play a direct role, a factor which modulates our point of view.
The universe is not just a chart or a matrix. It is much more complex even structurally and has dynamic consequences on its evolution. It is our very perception that we need to change in order to get ready to observe the future with another vision, better targeted and more effective, because philosophical and existential dilatations already function beyond the limits of a movie, because it’s all about the acts of intelligence and of nature, without the boundaries of conventional fiction.
