3.a.2. The meaning of loveBy trying to understand the meaning of love through thoughts and feelings about the parameters of the Equation for Love we realize that they are a little special and they remind us of Modern Physics and the Theory of Relativity. If we take a closer look to the Equation for Love to find the meaning of love, we notice that time divided by space squared, in language terms you would say: “acceleration of time” or “the variation of the speed of time multiplied by the unit of space.” It seems that the Equation for Love represents something that actually exists, perhaps the name of love is not the most correct when speaking in terms of physics but, as I said in the introduction, that is how the formula or equation came about, and in the Physics of Particles there are also very strange names. At the same time, the meaning of love reflects a type of force or attraction that depends on the acceleration of time, it seems a little like the idea of life as the result of a trip in time through space. The inverse of the normal speed (space/time) is the speed of time (time/space), but if we are talking about acceleration (space, time²), the acceleration of time (time/space²) is not its inverse. I have to admit that as a mental relaxation exercise it is not bad at all because for a while you forget about the tension and the worries that you may have at a certain moment! Continuing with the thoughts and feelings about the meaning of love, if we study the physical units contained in the formula of the Equation for Love we will have:
(N m² / kg²) == (m³/kg s²)
(s² / m4) The units of love L are: (1/kg m) Yet I do not discern its meaning very well, it must be the inverse of a kilogram multiplied by a meter; the inverse concept of the mass multiplied by space. Weird, very weird! The interpretation of the underlying units or concepts in a mathematical formula is fragile, it can be confusing and does not always makes sense in the strict terms of physics, especially when there are many units that intervene. On the contrary, at times they can have a profound meaning, in this case it remains to be seen if we can find it, or if it really exists or not, even in the subjective sense.3.a.2.a) Units and dimensionsI would like to point out the importance of the interpretation of the units, since without the intuitive interpretation of the concepts we are lost, blind and we will not know how to advance. So then, gravity as acceleration has (m/s²) as units, and it can also be expressed as (N/kg), the first refers to the effect or the acceleration that will be produced…, the latter refers to the cause or force times the unit of mass which will produce the indicated gravitational acceleration… And a third unit occurred to me (N m/kg m), then it would be read as: Energy * love multiplied by each unit of mass and space In other words, it is worth pointing out that even though there are completely different ways of reading a formula, they are not inconsistent; in one, the meaning can refer to the cause, and in another, to the effect as we have just seen, in others it refers to an imaginary reality, but all of them are true. For example, when we say two men per horse, or two meters per second, we all have the intuitive idea of its meaning. It is simple, if in the first case we multiply it by three horses than we will have six men. 2 (men/horse) * 3 horses = 6 men However, if we go back to the previous result and multiply it by three horses we will have 18 men-horse, that is, 18 minotaurs; this minotaur unit is no longer intuitive, it is a new element that has the properties of the man and the horse, if we had to represent this new concept we would do it with a little illustration… 6 men * 3 horses = 18 minotaurs It could be said that by dividing something by a different unit, we are quantifying it according to another element or virtual container; meanwhile, if we multiply that something by a different unit we are adding a property to it or forming it qualitatively. However, the meaning will depend on the initial unit and the concepts with which it is operating - the contrary could be given. By way of practical example, we can point out that one Newton divided by one kilogram implies that there is still a Newton as well as one kilogram. On the contrary, one Newton * meter will be something new that will have the properties of force and of the first spatial dimension, that is, energy, and we will call the unit Julio. Another example would be if we divide energy by space, this is the case that would give us force. Note that we are using abstract concepts with a more complex meaning than what it seems at first. An additional problem that can be presented at the moment of correctly interpreting the physics equations is in certain cases the lack of differentiation between a longitude squared and a surface, or better said, between two longitudes and a surface. Or perhaps it is a personal problem due to lack of the necessary abstraction. This phenomenon habitually occurs with the three dimensions of the Euclidean space geometry because despite being very different concepts, all of them have elements in common. Furthermore, some add more dimensions to the space geometry even though they have to bend its meaning a little; otherwise they go over into another world. |
