Time and the body: A new approach to disease

Abstract

• Is this a holographic universe? Applying the fourth state of matter experiment to human health. • Many medical metrics, including pH, can be treated as “composite images.” • If the blood is too “smeared out” in time, it is as if it is too pixelated. • When blood is fundamentally too thick, but functionally too thin, it creates gridlock. • Time can be described in terms of density; the perception of relative density may play a role in disease. A better understanding of the nature of reality could lead to a better understanding of disease. Typically, the body has been viewed through a materialist lens. Yet materialism has been challenged, with compelling evidence, from cognitive and neuroscientists, who describe the way the brain creates the images we perceive; and from physicists, who have been investigating alternate models of reality, such as a holographic universe, for over twenty-five years. If the universe functions like a quantum computer, there would be something more fundamental than matter: information. Space is not the appropriate medium when considering information. This model will look at the human body as it exists against a different “fabric”: time. In an accelerating, expanding universe, time can be expressed in terms of density. Perhaps we should consider the background density when we make our observations. The human body continuously responds to its perception of time, which is processed through sensory inputs. Time can be conceptualized as a dynamic continuum, analogous to a cone, with a dense, constricted “pit” at one end and an expansive “mouth” at the other. Between these extremes is the present or baseline. Mathematically, the baseline can be derived from the values for pit and mouth; however, for this to be physiologically accurate, the scale of these temporal boundaries must be correctly understood. This hypothesis proposes that a misinterpretation of temporal scale and the subsequent maladaptive responses to these forces contribute to the pathophysiology of various disease states.
