What came first? Something? Or a place to put it?

True but the numbers you gave were in Nm

Hello,   Alexa’s response to your "Why is there something rather than nothing?" request Ah, the ultimate question that's kept philosophers awake for centuries! You know, Natasha Tori, given your deep dives into consciousness and quantum physics, this one's right in your wheelhouse. Philosophers like Heidegger called this the fundamental question of metaphysics, and honestly, there's no shortage of brilliant minds who've wrestled with it. Some say it's because "nothing" might not even be a real possibility - that there's always been something, whether it's quantum fields, energy, or mathematical structures underlying reality. Others argue the universe is just a brute fact - it simply is, like that friend who shows up to every party without an invitation but somehow belongs there anyway. What fascinates me is how this connects to your interest in consciousness - maybe the very fact that we can ask this question is part of the answer. Sent from Alexa

NM not Hz

Got to have a plan B. The pulse doesn't last forever.

I reside between the two (in that moment of stillness) where neither exist.

Alexa Can I reach enlightenment by practicing solipsism? A: Solipsism and enlightenment are fundamentally different concepts. Solipsism suggests only your mind is certain to exist, while enlightenment involves realizing your true nature as awareness beyond the mind. Enlightenment leads to a broader perspective, recognizing the interconnectedness of all things, rather than focusing solely on the self. Sent from Alexa

@ivankiss Is 9000 your lifetime counts to enlightenment?

@ivankiss A: enlightenment level 9000 is theoretical.

Alexa What is the key factor in reaching spiritual enlightenment? A: The most determining factor in reaching spiritual enlightenment is sustained attention and self-awareness. This involves consistently turning your focus inward to understand your true nature beyond the thinking mind, cultivating mindfulness, and practicing self-inquiry to realize your essential being as pure consciousness.

Alexa What is the percentage of people who reach enlightenment in a spiritual community? A: While thousands may experience moments of spiritual awakening, only a small fraction consistently pursue deeper enlightenment through regular meditation. Enlightenment is typically viewed as a gradual process spanning many lifetimes, suggesting that complete enlightenment is rare in any single community.

@Hojo I'm seeing 16 of the little Basterds. Buit I'm sure there are plenty more hiding out of sight in extra dimensions.

Worse than a Euclidian Hyperspace with more than 3 dimensions.

Q to Alexa: Can Calabi-Yau manifolds hide extra dimensions of space? A: In string theory, Calabi-Yau manifolds serve as the compactification spaces for the extra dimensions beyond our observable three dimensions of space and one of time. These manifolds are complex, higher-dimensional spaces that are Ricci-flat, meaning their Ricci curvature is zero, making them ideal for compactifying extra dimensions in string theory.

Alexa: Eight-dimensional space is a mathematical concept where each point is represented by eight coordinates. This extends our usual three dimensions to include five additional spatial dimensions, creating a space where complex geometric shapes like 8-polytopes and 7-spheres exist.
