A journey into the infinite

I entitle this blog entry as 'A Journey Into The Infinite' and will do my best to translate an experience into an understandable medium. Portions may be portrayed in a story sense since a more linear version would be more widely accepted due to complex entanglements of the infinite possibilities. I will first forewarn that there may be several tangents strewn about, but I will do my best to see to it that I follow through on all angles that I encounter. This may be a long read, but I hope to create a worthy one.

The basic idea of infinity is not at all what can be used to explain the true epic sense of the whole as itself. Even this meager attempt to bring an experience of the infinite to the reader will still be in its infancy at best. Since we do not have enough time to follow through with a full discovery of the infinite, we will be forced to partake in a small portion. And of course, when it comes to something so extreme, even the smallest amount can prove to be much more than expected.

Where to begin is not an easy question to answer. With this in mind, I am just going to run through this blog with the main focus to describe all that I can, and hope that some kind of understanding will take place.

Imagine yourself sitting in a chair, and as you look at the room that you are in and a person that is in there with you, you begin to see layers of colors separate. When I say this, think of how you can change the color of video so that all of it is red, or blue, or green. Now take each version and overlay them. With the same ideas of phase cancellation with audio, the video colors filter between themselves to show you the actual 'true' color of what is perceived. Now take these individually colored layers, and spread them evenly like a deck of playing cards being spread out on a card table so that each one overlaps the others equally and an edge of each is shown.

As each of these colored layers appear to be the same, start to imagine each one now beginning to take on their own individual reality. For instance, as the red layered view of the person in the room talking turns their head about an inch to the left, the yellow layer turns their head just a bit more, and the blue even further, and so on and so on. When they begin to separate far enough the differences between them become more extreme and now you have a palette of potential realities at your finger tips. The only drawback to this is if you try to focus on just one, the others will collapse behind, and the one concentrated on will in fact become the new reality. In order to find the others and 'jump' to the next, you will have to separate the filters once more. Bear in mind that once you move from one to the next, the outlaying design and future of this realm is new. It is the unknown that keeps moving beyond the view, and this can propel you further along that path.

Now, if you were to stay at the point to where the filtered animated color frames take on their own design, and witness them all at once, a bubble of confusion on a linear frame of mind will present itself. If continuing along this path, you may find that the possibilities grow in number and the colored frames become slimmer and more. If the paths of these were pushed outward to create a spherical design, a phantom center would be created. This central point would appear to be bright white in color since it is all of these colors reflecting as one. This brings about an interesting quest. What is to happen if someone were to travel within the white phantom center? One possibility would be that they would emerge from the wall of colored paths. Another would be that it would lead straight to another reality. If someone was to go in the opposite direction and travel into the wall of colored paths that are streaming by, they might very well find themselves reentering the same area through the ball of white light. As anyone could see, this could create quite a paradox. There is one way to escape this and it would be to focus on one of the colored paths streaming by until it absorbs you with it. Then you would be carried out along the path into the reality in which it is bound to.

Or on a more physical level that you can simply observe -

The best way to get a peak at the visual interpretation of infinity would be to take a video camera, send its output to the input of a tv, point the camera at the screen of the tv, slowly spin the camera in a clockwise or counterclockwise rotation, and soon you will see the image spinning and morphing. The best is when it is focused on a reflection on the screen itself. You will get other effects as well by changing the saturation and tint of the tv output. Try this if you can and feel free to experiment. The words "Brightness" and "Contrast" on the screen themselves will be spinning into infinity and create their own pattern as well. If anything, it is an entertaining thing to do.

Other than this, there is a lot more than what could be described when it comes to an idea of infinity. I will most likely come back to this again in the future. This way you won't have so much to read at the moment and can have the chance to absorb what you have read already.
