A New Model of Life
Happy Negentropy Day!
One of my uncles asked if I was going to be writing any more on my Substack so I figured today is a great day to do it.
Easter, also called Pascha (Aramaic, Greek, Latin) or Resurrection Sunday, is a Christian festival and cultural holiday commemorating the resurrection of Jesus from the dead, described in the New Testament as having occurred on the third day of his burial following his crucifixion by the Romans at Calvary c. 30 AD.
The original name is Pascha, so I shall maintain that Negentropy Day is a better name than Easter. Pre-Christian beliefs aren’t all evil, but science in my opinion is actually good. This time of year always reminds me that the purpose of Jesus’s crucifixion and resurrection are actually negentropy. Of course this isn’t some kind of blasphemous heresy, since negentropy is just a synonym for life.
Once upon a time the world was in an original state of perfect order, until people decided to bring disorder into it. In response to the disorder brought upon them, they brought disorder upon other people. People would always punish the person who attacked them, they would stoop below the person who condescended to them, they would lop the arms off the person who accidentally nicked their earlobe, they would murder the family of the person who killed their sister, and so on. This would also lead to an endless spiral of death and decay. The wage of sin is death.
Then after a few thousand years of increasing entropy of Homo sapiens, there was one person who didn’t increase the amount of entropy in the world, but instead decided to absorb all the entropy and give the world more free energy, so instead of a constant spiral of death people could have life again. Then after dying and entering a state of entropy, he rose again from the dead and returned to the state of negentropy which is life. I’m always struck by how much photons look like crosses since Jesus Christ is the light, and light always seems to be to me the ultimate origin of negentropy in the world. Today is the day we remember the new model of life and strive to embody it ourselves.

On the topic of life and light, yesterday I found some new information that I think supports my hypothesis. I wasn’t under the impression electromagnetism and electric/magnetic fields were supposed to always be identical in the first place so I learned that just as I learned it’s been discovered they don’t have to be, which I think is probably the biggest reason no one else seems to have created the same hypothesis about life basically originating from the void rather than from dead matter as I have:
Study unveils a spontaneous toroidal polar topology in the helielectric nematic state (phys.org)
Magnetic and electric dipoles, objects with two oppositely charged ends, have a similar symmetrical structure. One might thus assume that they exhibit similar internal structures and physical states.
Researchers at South China University of Technology in China recently showed that this is not always the case, by examining the topology of an emerging ferroelectric liquid-matter state with polarized helices, known as the "helielectric nematic state." Their findings, published in Nature Physics, show that this state has a spontaneous toroidal polar topology generated through a flexoelectric effect that favors a specific form of splay deformation of polarizations.

In more news, birds apparently use brainwave barcodes to remember where they hid their caches of food and it’s overwhelmingly likely human memory works the same way.

This is yet another reason Elongated Muskrat was kicked out of the X-Men for trying to mess with things he didn’t understand and actively impede the work of people who know more than he does, but didn’t inherit an apartheid-era South African emerald mine from his father whom he mutually hates and use this to become media personalities despite being completely dysfunctional and delusional. No one wants your brain chip when not only is it prone to breaking, prone to harming the people who use it, and you get part of your skull drilled out, it will likely impede normal and above-normal mental functions that already exist. I mean, Elongated Muskrat, do you really think you’d be able to sell Charles Xavier on it just because he’s in a wheelchair? Bad Elon.
If you would like to learn more about the brain in order to not mess it up by being a guy with a bunch of money who likes to throw it at everything without considering whether or not he should, you might want to start with a book such as Moonwalking with Einstein, which one of my aunts also gave me several years back. I already knew most of the things in this book, but it’s still nice to start conversations with the people who don’t. Another good idea would be to take up mindfulness meditations, which I don’t think the goal of should be to force your mind clear but just to relax and see how it works, or other kinds of legal and safe practices for attaining altered states of consciousness, unlike Elongated Muskrat’s drug addiction that got some people trying to send him to rehab. Most of the common psychedelic drugs probably have valid medical uses and shouldn’t be Schedule I, even Victorian prudes loved their “new cannabis from India” (which just goes to show the British didn’t change all that much between then and the time of the Beatles) but that doesn’t mean Elon isn’t abusing them.

In more news, artificial flexible photonic crystals have been produced and the patterns they create look the same as brainwaves. I think I solved how to make efficient electro-optical technology. I’ve always suspected that the nervous system was something electromagnetic just due to the experiences I’ve always had using it, and more recently science has confirmed this is indeed the case rather than leaving everyone to speculate and a few of the really old-school neurologists to insist it’s definitely not because biology must always reduce to chemistry due to pseudoscientific positivist philosophies despite biophysics being an established field (albeit not one many people seem to have heard of despite it being orders of magnitude more published in real academic journals like Physical Review X than string theory and cosmology are.) I think photonic crystals are not the only important part, I also think dual polarization and interference are important as well, but this seems to have been really the missing key.

Here are the two older articles that I’ve considered overwhelming evidence for the fundamental electromagnetic nature of neurological activity:
Neurons are fickle. Electric fields are more reliable for information. | Picower Institute (mit.edu)
‘Traveling’ nature of brain waves may help working memory work | Picower Institute (mit.edu)
The nervous system is overwhelmingly likely to not only be “electromagnetic” in a broad sense but specifically a natural electro-optical system, which would also constitute proof that electro-optical systems can be efficient in some circumstances as well as show many ways it could be done. It’s also helpful that I, like many people, do suspect quantum activity in the brain as well but that will probably take multiple other posts to really properly explain and the electro-optical idea is not dependent on it.
