Essence of Space

Part-2 of Aspects and anomalous character of Time.

Physics of Space:
Space is another aspect of Time, for the movement of a physical object defines the Space traversed by the object in terms of velocity and distance.
This space is measurable though could not be felt, detected as a physical entity.
The movement of an object in space generates its own Time-velocity-frame, independently of any such objects, but in comparison only to the Time-velocity-frame of those other objects. There is no another such standard Time-velocity-frame which could be taken as the absolute-scale over which this comparison could rest. In other words all such Time-velocity-frames are but relative only.
Space in density, is chemically inert physical matter least dense than all other substances. On one hand this matter is so subtle-most that permeates all other substances which move in it.
Space again could be viewed as of having two forms:
1. Matter: As the energy that is light or corpuscles that need a medium to travel into. The energy is either matter in the form of corpuscles / atoms / molecules / basic fundamental particles, or matter in the form of waves. A wave can’t be able to travel in vacuum. Just as a floating body moves upon the surface of a liquid, the wave-form of matter or energy needs a surface to float upon. If there is no such surface, medium, then the wave-form tends to cease. This implies the Space where the energy travels is kind of a liquid.
2. Over-space. We can extend this even more and conclude by including the concept of a vacuum where-in lies this Space, and in this Space (ether) lies all the known forms of matter and energy.
This vacuum, -in terms of ‘knowledge’ / ‘thought’ / ‘concept’ is though totally unknown and no instrument could ever sense or detect its existence, we should take it either as if of having a hypothetical existence only, or assume that there is another ‘Space’ further and beyond this material-Space. This another Space is where-in lies the material-Space.
Chemistry of Space:
Once we accept the above argument, we could easily conceive of Space as a substance, though material kind or non-material-kind. The principles of Particle-Chemistry could be applicable to such a material-Space.
Mathematics of Space:
So there is a material-Space and another non-material-Space.
The material-Space is matter in essence while the non-material-Space is (so far as we have seen hereto) a kind of vacuum.
In Mathematics of Veda, we see that ‘0’ and ‘1’ are significant in two ways.
‘0’ and ‘1’ are conceptual entities that facilitate thinking in a mathematical way. Thus, 0 and 1 are basically mathematical notions only, way of expression.
Veda speaks of the Reality as of having both these forms, namely, ‘0’ and ‘1’.
The material-Space that is contained in the Over-Space is ‘1’ (along with any of the multiple multiples) while ‘0’ denotes either altogether the absence of an object or as a number facilitates the basic mathematical operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
Veda attracts our attention to the fact that the Realty is neither ‘0’ nor ‘1’ or ‘many’, yet all.
(देवी अथर्वशीर्षम् -2 / devī atharvaśīrṣam -2.)
This puts to rest the dispute ‘God is one or different than 1?’.
‘Description is not the described.’
(Remember J.Krishnamurti?)
‘0’ and ‘1’ is the description while the Reality is what is the described.
Philosophy of Space: Thought, either in the wave-form, –as the Physicists would agree or in the verbal / word-form could always be sensed and detected by means some delicate sophisticated instrument, -how-so-ever simple or refined.
This implies ‘Thought’ is a physical entity. In other words, -a material entity only.
On the other hand, we need to see and remember the role of ‘thought’ in terms of ‘description’. Again, ‘Description is not the described’ could be of help.
Thought is thus a kind of movement either as matter or wave, and by manipulation of thoughts (That is what Philosophy as ‘thought’ is all about), thought should not let us conclude ‘what is Space?’
Psychology of Space:
The sentient beings are endowed with this faculty of ‘mind’ which, at the level of an individual takes the form of ‘psyche’.
This ‘psyche’ is essentially ‘me’ and conversely ‘me’ is this very thing which is called ‘psyche’. Any of the duos just can’t survive in isolation.
Nevertheless, the ‘me’ is the description that keeps changing the objects. Sometimes ‘me’ describes the physical body of an individual, and his / her thought, feelings, emotions, idiosyncrasies, and a hundred things associated with his / her psyche or person.
As the ‘description is not the described’ and is always and invariably in the thought-form only, is really unable to point out the described.
(Remember Kurt Gödel?)
Reality of Space:
Space has always a beginning and an end. The Space that has no beginning has no end. For the simple and physical fact that whatever begins ends in Space, how-so-ever short or long.
अक्षरात् सञ्जायते कालः कालात् व्यापकः उच्यते
....(शिव-अथर्व-शीर्षम्)
(akṣarāt sañjāyate kālaḥ kālāt vyāpakaḥ ucyate)
...(śiva-atharva-śīrṣam)
Here, कालः / kālaḥ means Time, while व्यापकः / vyāpakaḥ means Space.
Says this text (part of ऋग्वेद / ṛgveda), which maintains that Time (and Space) as such is generated from and by the indestructible, imperishable principle, the essence that accompanied by Time and Space, manifests, stays and dissolves.
‘In a cycle’ or ‘again and again’, ‘repeatedly’ just don’t apply on this activity of manifestation, sustenance and dissolution.
For the individual as psyche is but an infinitely small a part of the whole, it too becomes manifest, appearing as existing as distinct from the Whole or getting dissolved (with its individual Time / Space) into the essence, the Whole, which is unknowable in terms of thought and concept.
