We are the multiverse.
The universe is implicitly monist. That there is some ultimate frame, be it God, or Math, in which everything is subsumed.
The reality is that knowledge is inherently subjective. Too much signal and the pattern is lost back in the noise. Whiteout. The map is only the most necessary details of the territory.
We can be generalists, or we can be specialists, but the frame has to have focus. An "object point of view" is an oxymoron.
Pope John Paul 2 described God as the "all-knowing absolute." That is an oxymoron.
Knowledge is a construct of the details, while the universal is the elemental. As in absolute zero would be a total flatline of everything.
It is the reverberations between the absolute and the infinite in which our reality exists.
So the absolute would be the total absence of knowledge.
As mobile organisms, this sentient interface our bodies have with their situation functions as a sequence of perceptions, in order to navigate, so our experience of time is as the present going past to future. Though the evident reality is that activity and the resulting change turns future to past. Tomorrow becomes yesterday, because the earth turns.
There is no dimension of time, because the past is consumed by the present, to inform and drive it. Causality and conservation of energy. Cause becomes effect.
Energy is conserved, because it manifests this presence, creating time, temperature, pressure, color and sound. Frequencies and amplitudes, rates and degrees.
The energy, as presence, goes past to future, because the patterns generated coalesce and dissolve, future to past. Energy drives the wave, the fluctuations rise and fall. No tiny strings necessary.
Consciousness also goes past to future, while the perceptions, emotions and thoughts giving it form and structure go future to past.
As lives go birth to death, future to past, while life moves onto the next generation, shedding the old, past to future.
The digestive system processes the energy, feeding the flame, the nervous system sorts the patterns, signals from the noise and the circulation system is feedback in the middle.
So there is a intellectual tendency to get caught up in cultural feedback loops, where the next generation feels obligated to build on the efforts of the prior generation, as they did theirs. Even if the initial assumptions were lost in the haze of the past.
Then we reach a point where it is all some enormous Tower of Babel, gradually turning into total bullshit.
So that wave crashes and where does the energy go?
As for the science, ask yourself, if intergalactic space expands, why doesn't the speed of the light crossing it increase proportionally, in order to remain CONSTANT???
Two metrics of space are being derived from the speed and spectrum of the same light. Given it is an expanding space and not tired light theory, the speed is still the explicit denominator.
One way light does redshift over distance, is as multi spectrum packets, as the higher frequencies dissipate faster.
Though that would mean we are sampling a wave front, not observing photons traveling billions of years and the quantification of light is an artifact of its absorption and measurement.
Galaxies are the energy radiating toward infinity, as the structure coalesces toward equilibrium. The frame with the fastest clock and longest ruler is closet to the equilibrium of the vacuum. The unmoving void of absolute zero.
Synchronization draws the waves in. Anything actually falling into the black holes are shot out as quasars. Which are like giant lasers and lasers are synchronized light waves.
Harmonization is the energy balancing out. Resonance and reverberations are feedback in the middle.
The music is more real than the matter.
