Electric Charges And Negative Numbers

Let me show you a simple but vivid example of how the large-scale structure of things must be a reflection of the component "building blocks" of which it is made. Some of the most obvious examples, we have seen already. Planets orbit the sun just as the electrons in their component atoms orbit the nucleus of the atom. There is only a certain amount of information available on how to construct the large-scale structures, such as the Solar System, and this information must be contained in the building blocks of the structures so that the larger scale cannot be completely different from the nature of it's building blocks.

Another example is the building of a house out of bricks. The easiest form in which to construct a brick house is in the same as that of the bricks. There are brick houses nearby that are almost exactly the same shape as the bricks from which they are built.

Our number system actually runs in two directions, the negative as well as the positive. If we subtract 10 from 5, for example, we get -5. I find that this must ultimately be the result of the two electric charges of which the universe is composed, positive and negative. Let me explain why.

Negative numbers in our number system are used much less frequently than ordinary positive numbers. But there are two examples of where negative numbers come into play.

Electromagnetic waves which travel in space include radio waves, infrared (heat), light, ultraviolet, X-rays and, gamma rays. A wave is known as a sine wave and can be rendered on an oscilloscope as starting from a horizontal plane representing zero, reaching a maximum amplitude, decreasing back to zero at the horizontal plane, continuing to a negative maximum amplitude, and finally back to zero to begin the wave over again. The positive and negative sides of the wave are identical mirror images of one another. Aside from electromagnetic waves, this same pattern also applies to an alternating current.

The height of the wave, representing it's strength, is known as the amplitude. The length from the beginning of one wave to the next and the frequency, a function of the wavelength, is the number of waves that pass by per second.

Electromagnetic waves and electric current are, of course, related to the fundamental electric charges of positive and negative that compose the entire universe. The amplitude of the wave, including it's negative mirror image, are expressed in negative and positive numbers. The amplitude of a wave might be expressed as ranging from +6 to -6 along the cycle of the wave. The necessity of negative as well as positive numbers can thus be seen as the result of the basic building blocks of the universe being negative and positive charges.

There are other negative numbers that we are only too familiar with, that of debt and budget deficits. It may seem to be a mystery as to how this is rooted in the fundamental electric charges of the universe. But consider that financial expenditures are rooted in scarcity.

Economics only applies to what is referred to as "scarce" goods. This means simply that there may not always be enough of these scarce goods to fulfill all demand for them. Oxygen is the most vital necessity of life, yet economics does not apply to it because there is enough of it. Oxygen is thus not a scarce good. Water is the next vital necessity of life but is usually treated as a semi-scarce good, only charged for in significant quantities. Sunlight is another necessity, but is not considered as a scarce good.

But scarcity is related to complexity. There is an abundance of matter, although only a limited amount has just the right nature and configuration to supply human necessities. This is related to our complexity and to the nature of the fundamental electric charges. If there were only one electric charge then matter would hold less information and so would have to have less complexity. This would make it likely that there would be less requirement of complexity in human necessity meaning, in turn, that would be less need for expenditures and the resulting economics, and thus less of the negative numbers of debt and budget deficit.

Remember that the larger scale of things must always reflect the nature of it's building blocks.
