This piece is on Real Physics and Dhamma.
This is for AJ Gentile to peruse.
1. We are one gravity 3D beings.
We cannot understand the fourth dimension in real terms BUT we can mathematically postulate that 4th dimension could exist.
2. There is nothing called space.
It is occupied by subtle forces of energy.
3. Time is relative and is not a real dimension.
It is relative to a particular solar system.
Two solar systems cannot have the same time dimension.
If that happens it becomes a mirror image.
Solar system with two suns is the normal pattern.
4. Material world is 5%.
We cannot understand 95% of the universe.
5. Infinity is a concept based on speed of light.
There are forces faster than speed of light. Dark Energy is massive.
We do not know how to investigate dark matter and dark energy.
6. Light can bend given the right condition.
7. Concept of gravity is ill understood.
8. There are elements that can create gravity and those elements are not present in our solar system.
9. Beings of fourth dimension are probably
the Level I Civilization.
10. Civilizations are classified based on their ability to manipulate the energy they possess.
We are in Zero Civilization but are slowly gaining the ability to use higher energy level using AI technology.
AI technology is our dead end.
Let's say we are moving towards the quantum mechanics.
11. Mathematically we can have seven levels of civilizations.
But I am willing stay at 4 levels.
It was a Russian scientist who predicted mathematically that there are 4 levels of Civilizations.
12. Now I move it to a new dimension.
It is called Rebirth.
According to Buddhist view there are 31 types of beings in various World Systems.
We call them Devas but the correct name is celestial beings.
That is the correct term.
Do not get it wrong aliens (if they do exist) are of course humanoids who have telepathic ability but who have lost certain biological or genetic traits.
Theoretically, they possess what is called "Soul".
Buddhism denies Soul Concept.
13. It is possible to create Soulless beings.
They are called EBENS.
Extraterrestrial Biological Entities.
They are biological entities created by higher beings to visit our planet.
The beings who come exploring our planet remain in their mother ships.
They use EBENs as robots.
When they visited us to investigate the Nuclear Bomb Explosion around 1940 to 1945 some of them were incarcerated by Americans.
It is said that, after lengthy negotiations last one was released in exchange of technology.
The reversed engineered items include;
Cellphone
Laser
Fiber-optics
Night Vision
Circuits and transistors
It took a long time for us to figure out computers, an excellent progress.
Real Alien Beings never set foot on our planet but we are under their surveillance.
14. It is not one type of humanoid aliens but according to John Lear at least 5 to 25.
We probably have alliance with at least one species. What they want from us, is open to question. Most likely biological material if we are to go by Linda Moulton and Cattle mutilations.
My Guess is for Genetic manupulations.
We developed genetic techniques from this species in return of human feotuses or babies or offered to them for their genetic recoveries.
15. Human cells have limited number cell cycles.
50 finite cell cycles.
There is something called apoptosis.
This name is based on pattern of drop of leaves from plants.
If the cell cycle go out of this finite cell cycle, the end result is cancer. Apoptosis prevent this happening. I have strayed a bit to biology which is my bona fide.
15. Coming back to Rebirth our Dhamma aim is to extinguish endless cycle of Rebirth.
It is a very difficult preposition.
16. Path, Path-entry has four levels
Appamado Umatapadam was the last peon of Lord Buddha.
Do not delay Salvation or Emancipation.
The Four Stages of Enlightenment:
In Buddhism, the path to enlightenment involves four stages:
Sotapanna (Stream-Enterer):
Freed from rebirth in the lower realms, with rebirth guaranteed in the human or higher realms.
Sakadagāmi (Once-Returner):
Will return to the human realm once more before attaining enlightenment.
Anagami (Non-Returner):
Will be reborn in a Pure Abode and attain enlightenment in Pure Abode.
Arahant (Fully Liberated):
Has attained enlightenment and will no longer experience rebirth.
Sakadagami
They are guaranteed to be reborn in the realm of the senses at most once more.
If they achieve the next stage of enlightenment (Anagami) in this life, they will not be reborn as humans.
Anagami are reborn only in Pure Abodes.
Arahants have ended the Samsara Cycle.
Buddha the rarest occurrence!
17. Let me finish with Mahayana Bud
dhism.
It is the biggest antithesis to Theravada or the Thesis of the Elders.
Becoming an Aspiring Buddha or Pase-Buddha is not logical.
That is my answer to Indika Totawaththa.
Some monks use him to settle their own "Worldly Issues".
In Dhamma sense, I do not engage with any living monk.
I my case I have not decided to shorten my life cycle due to my own selfless reasons,
as a non practicing (medicine) doctor.
18. It is very difficult to be born as a human being.
Do not waste the 80 years one possess for mundane issues.
Strive hard to achieve the Dhamma Goal!
Energy
Come to think about it
Energy is the least understood
But easily and often
Misquoted out of context
In science and in journalism
If I ask the question
Does the matter has energy?
The answer is not clear cut
Then I ponder for a little while,
And ask again
Which has more energy
Matter in motion
Or the matter remaining still?
I am called a trouble maker
In my class of adults
When I delve in further
And ask,
What is the smallest particle having energy?
Is it the electron, the neutron, the proton or the quarks?
Then when I ask what is the smallest unit of energy?
A photon
Or a wave
I am very much stuck
With words of expression
Now that I am in deep waters
Not understanding
All these concepts
What shall do to move any further?
State of the matter
Is such that
If each particle
Carries loads of energy
What is the essential force that
Intrinsically bind them together
And hold them tight?
In relation to position
They keep
In space and time
While allowing free
Moving particles to move
Without much hindrance
Rather than that,
With minimum interference
From its neighbouring
Particles of existence
If only the moving particles have
Mass, velocity and energy
That goes with the momentum of forces
What is the principle that
I should apply to my body of interest
Where me standing still
On this planet earth
Has no energy
Until I decide to kick a football
With a force
Now who has the energy my leg muscles or my football or both?
How confusing are those concepts
Energy and Forces in action?
I wonder
Then again I should have
Some energy to stand on Earth
Much less if I stand on Moon
What about moon walking,
Sweet talking and
Sleeping one third of our life
On this universal universe
What are the energy consumption of all these activities on earth, on its outer boundaries and in the space in between?
The mind
That made me to kick the ball
Should have either some energy or force
In any case
I argue
Since the Mind
That made me to kick the ball
In the first place
Made the movement of the ball
Possible
Until such time the
Mother earth decided to
Abort it abruptly in its journey
In space and time
So the mother earth should
Have some control over my mind
In fact, the matter over my mind
Rather than mind over matter
In this instance
Bees, flies, mosquitoes and birds can fly
And in their case
They decide to fly away
As they wish
And also control
The start and stop
Of the flight
As desirable
So birds and bees
Have more energy than me
And humanoids
Staggeringly confusing
Isn't it?
So who has more energy
The Mind (Kicking)
The Matter (Ball)
The Motion (Transition)
The Bees (in Flight)
Or the mother Earth (Gravity)
That stopped the ball in its trajectory?
I wish the answer
Is clear enough
For a kiddy
I am not kidding
The answer to those questions
Are open to inquiry in a
Philosophical Sense
Now that I am beginning to
Think as a Thinker
But not as a Scientist
Who would provide me
The answers to the scientific tenets
That were raised in an open forum
Of inquiry
What is more powerful
Energy wise
The Thinking Mind
Or the Science in Action
I believe the former rather than the latter
Since the mind can penetrate
These concepts at will
Or at leisure
What is the energy and what is the force
The mind's energy by its very nature
Is probably far more superior
In its contents and activity
When used wisely and appropriately
Subtle and pervasive
Penetrating
The truths of all kinds
It is the mother superior
Of Wisdom
Now winding up my thought process
Who had used more force
The Italian Parvo Rotti's Goal Header
The French Zidane Zidane's Head butt
An ordinary Ceylonese (my) with a Penalty Kick
At the goal post of Wisdom
Sans destruction
The power of the Mind
Could be ascertained
By intense focus
And attention
To its moment of Origin
And the Energy of its consumption
Can only be harnessed
By sustained
Commitment and Conformity to details of
Metta, Anapana Sati or any object of
Attention sans attachment
And the Competence
In Meditation cultivated
By that intention
It is achieved
By the wise
The Arhaths
The Buddhas
And Passeka Buddhas
Of today, tomorrow, yesterday
And now in this moment of
Universal extension
Of the timeless dimensions
Of the Sansara Cycle

Dasa Sila (The Ten Precepts)
1. The training rule of abstaining from taking life.
2. The training rule of abstaining from taking what is not given.
3. The training rule of abstaining from sexual misconduct.
4. The training rule of abstaining from false speech
5. The training rule of abstaining from fermented and distilled intoxicants which are the basis for heedlessness.
These five precepts are the minimal ethical code binding on the Buddhist laity.
They
are administered regularly by the monks to the lay disciples at almost
every service and ceremony, following immediately upon taking the the
three refuges.
They are also undertaken afresh each day by earnest lay
Buddhists as part of their daily recitation.
6. Vikalabhojana veramani sikkhapadam samadiyami, "I undertake the
training rule to abstain from eating beyond the time limit," i.e., from
mid-day to the following dawn.7. Nacca gita vadita visukhadassana-mala gandha vilepana dharanamandana
vibhusanatthana veramani sikkhapadam samamadiyami, "I undertake the
training rule to abstain from dancing, singing, instrumental music,
unsuitable shows, and from wearing garlands, using scents, and
beautifying the body with cosmetics."
8. Uccasayana mahasayana veramani sikkhapadam samadiyami, "I undertake the
training rule to abstain from high and luxurious beds and seats."
There are two ways in which these precepts are observed — permanently and temporarily.
Permanent
observance, far the less common of the two, is undertaken generally by
older people who, having completed their family duties, wish to deepen
their spiritual development by devoting the later years of their life to
intensified spiritual practice.
Even then it is not very widespread.
Temporary
observance is usually undertaken by lay people either on Uposatha days
or on occasions of a meditation retreat.
Uposatha days are the new moon
and full moon days of the lunar month, which are set aside for special
religious observances, a custom absorbed into Buddhism from ancient
Indian custom going back even into the pre-Buddhistic period of Indian
history.
On these days lay people in Buddhist countries often take the
eight precepts, especially when they go to spend the Uposatha at a
temple or monastery. On these occasions the undertaking of the eight
precepts lasts for a day and a night. Then, secondly, on occasions of
retreat lay people take the eight precepts for the duration of their
retreat, which might last anywhere from several days to several months.

they are also taken by some lay Buddhist Upasakas and Upasikas.
