Nobel Prize is awarded to an experiment with superfluid helium-3 that only requires a temperature of a few milli-Kelvin, whereas astrophysi- cists tell us that such a temperature does not exist in the universe? How real was this reality when the top quark was discovered, whereas there are not any left in the universe?” An embarrassing comment perhaps but we are discovering the non-existent! Does that not ring a bell? In essence, the universe is as we create it. We can create conditions that allow us to obtain any result. In general, it is hardly known that most of the “exotic” effects of quantum mechanics have been created artificially by selecting the conditions of an experiment. These condi- tions are renewed by choice after “chance” has affected the results that were not in line with the experimenter’s expectations. He therefore feels the need to know more about it, thinking that he could use that knowledge to his advantage. Hence the appearance of a longing. In general, if we feel the need to invent something, we will make it hap- pen! The universe is necessity inspired by longing. If necessity is a law, it is because desire is a law! Mathematics strayed from physics and developed an arsenal that is utterly useless in physics, Klein observed. It became complex to the point of being inefficient. On the other hand, path integrals,* for exam- ple, are not mathematically tractable (problems related to action S when its value is sensitive to the scale of Planck’s constant) and they are used by physics in Feynman diagrams and diffusion matrices every day. What about the Banach-Tarski paradox based on the axiom of choice, as opposed to the axiom of measurability? A peculiar choice to “prefer” either determinism or indeterminism! For mathematicians, mathematics is too beautiful not to exist, time experts tell themselves. However, is the painting of an artist too beau- tiful to see it as just an expression of his imagination? Is this a case of double standards? Is not mathematics merely one possible form of longing disguised as necessity? We have clearly invented virtual enti- ties on which the standard model of quantum mechanics is based! aaa . cot c a wast How many constants or coefficients are we forced to add to the equa- tions to arrive at an accurate description of reality? What is the deeper meaning of the “divine” referees? Do these questions not mean that mathematics consists of purely imaginary numbers,” just like dreams fill a need created by an underlying desire? Dreams are effective because they clear some of the emotional load that an individual has been unable to express in words. It is true that emotions cannot be expressed in an equation, but does that mean they are non-existent? 106 The Science of Extraterrestrials: UFOs Explained at Last * Eric Julien
