adam_rockstar Posted December 27, 2005 Report Share Posted December 27, 2005 what is the main element that makes the universe tick... is it time, the concept that is created from the existence of motion... or light, or maybe something else out there.. i want to know what you think :shrug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamil Posted December 27, 2005 Report Share Posted December 27, 2005 There are theories that strings vibrating at different freqeuncies are the fundamental thing of nature. Its called string theory. But i dunno, i dont think time is the fundental thign of the universe since motion is more fundamental. Because thats where time comes from. Light does affect the way space and time behave. And light does interact with electrons as seen in teh photoelectric effect. This is a very interesting topic and i hope to hear more views and opinions on it. BTW, welcome to hypography:) :shrug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bio-Hazard Posted December 27, 2005 Report Share Posted December 27, 2005 Want. / The energy involved with want. :shrug: infy. Logic: If apathy makes things slow down and stop, then want makes things speed up and start/continue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

my brain hurts Posted December 27, 2005 Report Share Posted December 27, 2005 The supreme element influencing the way the world works would be stupidity. Oh, that's right. You said the universe. Never mind. Still, I'm certain it's more plentiful than hydrogen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarak Posted December 27, 2005 Report Share Posted December 27, 2005 :eek: :cup: :shrug: The supreme element is the force of interaction,association and dissociation subsequently. which concentrates,focuses and generates an organization,a hierarchy,a tree,a cluster,a structure, signal transduction cascade,a proton pump,a helix-turn-helix,zinc finger,leucine zipper,a virus particle etc...:friday: :phones: :shrug: :beer: :cup: :fly: :eek: :shrug: :friday: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Bang Posted December 27, 2005 Report Share Posted December 27, 2005 My vote is for the photon as the basic particle of the universe. If you look at the electromagnetic spectrum, it ranges from radio waves of 30 Hz to Gamma rays of 300 EHz(300 X 10^18). As you move from low frequency to high the amount of energy in the wave gets very high, energy and mass are related by E = MC^2. If there was away to keep increasing the frequency of photons they would turn into an electron. Increase the frequency more and they turn into quarks.

Energy equals mass, and a photon is the fundamental unit of energy. Therefore, all mass is slowly sublimated through electromagnetic emmission in the form of photons. Even the universe itself is slowly diluting, the MBR being misinterpreted as a relic of the Big Bang is actually the universe melting away in the big void, until all that will be left will be a sea of very dim photons.

Guadalupe Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 Yes! I would say, that the supreme element influencing the way the universe works, is "Energy". :) :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HydrogenBond Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 The fundamental units of the universe are relativistic mass, distance and time. With just these three varaibles, all the laws of physics for both particles and energy are adjusted between references, to allow the laws of physics to remain the same in any reference.

arkain101 Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 So energy would appear to be the fundamental element to how the universe works. In quantum theory, no spot in the universe can have zero energy, and so the universe at the fundemental detectible element is energy. So where does time fit into energy? If energy travels through energy it can adjust its "time" according to its velocity in reference to a static field. Light energy would then be instantaniously send information in all directions, since its time would haulted to the rest of the generally slowly moving universe. Our redshift being a cause of the stretching of instantanious light energy? And not instantanious to anything other than the light wave itself.Is this a possible explanation or starting point for the universal constant? Light instantanious - space contraction maximum - zero time field. Step by step down from this constant opens up the universe to our concept of it?

matrixscarface Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 Symmetry... is the supreme influence in the universe... undersand that everything has to work together.. ever since the universe began with the explosion of a primeval atom, it has been expanding.. i bet you this is all done in symmetry, electricity.. a flow of electrons.. symmetry.. undoubtably, most if not all things must work in symmetry... perhaps of time.. and perhaps of space...geometry of space.. it just all seems defined and influences all.. smile all... :Waldo: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Racoon Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 It's hard to keep up with Orby's posting pace! There is No Supreme element...Like Orby said. " Balance " Yin and Yang! :confused: Ps. Isn't Helium or Hydrogen the Most abundant element? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" Balance " Yin and Yang! :Waldo: Ps. Isn't Helium or Hydrogen the Most abundant element?Depends on if you follow the classical meaning of "element" as "the most elementary object in the universe, no further divisions," or if you're holding the societal meaning of "that thing on the periodic table of elements." If it's the second, then Go Hydro! Whoo hoo. The big H is #1!! If the first... well, I have more reading to do before I can help there. :confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
