Musings from a Cosmology of Light #9: Bounds of Existence
In Light at c is an Intentionality it was suggested that light traveling at c creates a necessary medium for reality to emerge as it does, and further that c is a fountainhead from which other significant constants also emerge.
When light travels at speed c, it means that for it to express itself or have its light felt will require it to traverse a “unit” distance. This unit distance is dependent on its speed, and in a Cosmology of Light, has to be considered in context to the faster moving layers of light antecedent to this layer in which physical reality emerges.
There is meta-information that is being materialized at light traveling at c, and the unit distance required for this expression can be thought as engendering another fundamental constant that is instrumental in bounding existence — Planck’s constant, h.
The meta-information cannot express itself in halves or fractions, but becomes meaningful only as “wholes”. Such wholes are ‘quanta’, or in the case of light ‘photons’, and light at c is so, such that wholes can meaningfully materialize. The energy of a photon has in fact formally been formulated to relate to Planck’s constant, h (re: Energy of photon = h x c / wavelength of light).
Such wholes are ‘quanta’, or in the case of light ‘photons’, and light at c is so, such that wholes can meaningfully materialize
But h is anchored in c, and if the speed of light — c — were to change, meaning that the dynamics of what needs to be materialized is changed, then h would change as well.
Light at c, therefore, not only defines an upper bound to physical existence, but through the creation of h, the lower bounds as well.
