Muratus Lecture I: Space and Time

Compiled, edited, and ‘made nice’ by one among you. This lecture told us of Muratus del Mur’s views on time. He gave the caveat that his views were odd and not presented in order to have an argument.

We begin with the nature of space:

Let's say time is a result of the nature of space, its "expansion" in all directions, like a balloon. It's actually not an expansion, it just gets more diluted. The problem is with space, not with time. Time is the most exciting thing to make theories upon, but it's just a result of something bigger, and that's the structure of space itself.

Let me try to put this in a more plastic way.

Try to imagine a cube - the space inside it - give it a name, lets say space "A". Then imagine another cube, identical only filled with space called "B". To be clear, imagine two types of space as if they are different. Now, space A has a different density from space B. So space A is more 'concentrated' than space B.

Intersect those cubes now.

One of the spaces will start to dissipate and the other will start to get more dense, so that they become balanced. It will happen as a sort of movement.

At this point we become involved in a brief contemplation of one-dimensional space. This being paradoxical to a three-dimensional brain, Mur prefers to move past this part without confusing us with it. If you like, however, you may try to bear in mind that the ‘cubes’ he suggests are indeed these one-dimensional constructs.

Back to our cubes: so there starts to be a change in the way space "moves" and it moves because it intersects with another space. Each space has a vibration, but a slightly different vibration from the other space that it's intersecting - and out of this intersection ripples appear ... MATTER. Matter understood as pure energy, and the speed of the dissipation of space creates time.

To understand this theory you must understand a few unusual concepts. Like one dimension, and the concept of nothing, and a place without time. I use "speed" because there is no other term to define movement without time, so to define what time IS you must first exit the stage where time IS.

Two spaces collide, there is no time, the collision is not defined by movement, it’s pure existence. They exist there at different densities, that’s why time appears, as a result of that difference in density.

Let me tell you more, gravity: it's the same thing, a difference in space density. And it produces speed, acceleration, TIME. It's same thing at a smaller level. The difference in space density is the key - it creates what we call movement. Movement comes with time. Time is actually a value to define movement in relation to space.

Now we come to a question about space itself moving, which seems to be implied in the idea of it intermingling in intersecting one-dimensional spaces. We discover next that space, this abstract idea of ‘nothing’ that is so hard for our minds, does not really move at all as it intermingles.

You must understand a "static movement". It's not moving.

This is all Muratus del Mur says on the subject directly. And this is a tricky concept, nothing. It is not the canvas on which things are painted or the water on which things float – these things give us movement to describe non-movement. There is just more of nothing between each thing, as though it flowers there. Space doesn’t move and you cannot have more of nothing – it is paradoxical – but you can have more of nothing between two objects. Thus the markers appear to move relative to one another even though they are “still.”

Now we engage the expansion of the universe, and the idea of its eventual cyclic collapse and rebirth: It expands in my theory too, and it explains also the "big bang" that current theories can’t explain. It's a cyclic course [that] expands, retracts, expands and so on. We assumed it will retract because it's expanding and because our mind can't imagine infinity. But what if I tell you it's NOT retracting ever?

I think we have to wait and see ... I am free for the next billion years!

Muratus del Mur notes here that people are beginning to make spurious connections to phenomena around them, and thus he wishes to fuel that fire no more. He concludes with two more points:

Big bang in my theory is caused by this intersection of space. The ripples caused by its frequency are known as matter - matter is pure energy anyway.

Second thing:

The concept of Static Movement is described in one of the inner doc spells at higher levels, I think it's the public spell used as a sample. It's a basic concept of magic related to time control.

Period.

A great deal more was said and done and more lectures followed, but this is the content Muratus del Mur intended for us.
