I do not think God and a radio wave are equal. I shouldn't have mentioned God. I want to use the analogy of a radio as the way we experience our Universe. Waves do not occupy space, they occupy bandwidths of frequency. All the local stations can be picked up by a single antenna anywhere within range of the transmitter. The tuner simply focuses on one of the bandwidths.I agree that the process is similar. I recognize what you say here. The difficulty with analogy is that sometimes we can lose ourselves in our analogies.
Quote:I see the physical universe as frequencies that we experience through our human tuners. I am suggesting that maybe there are universes parallel to our own that function on different bandwidths than our own. We are in the midst of them but our tuners don't pick up their frequencies.I agree with the underlying principle. However, I don't think it has much to do with frequency.
Quote:I also find it useful to view each of the four elements as a parallel universe. Even if they are not, they at least operate on different bandwidths. You cannot perceive feelings with your ears or eyes. But unlike a radio that only perceives a single bandwidth, we experience all four simultaneously.This on the other hand might have something to do with frequency. All our senses have been shown to do fourier analysis on the raw data before interpretation.
Quote:I explain it much clearer in the book I am writing. It's hard to explain it in a post. However, I don't want to turn people away from my ideas by using the wrong analogies.Sometimes it's better to just not use analogy at all
If you do intend to use scientific analogy in your book. I suggest you find a co-reader who is able to give you sincere criticism on the scientific basis of your work. After all once the book is published, you can no longer change it. And it'd be a shame finding out after release that you're not happy about some scientific analogy you used.
