   Podcasting Pair-a-Dimes 30 with Joseph Truss – “The Tetraverse…It’s all about resolution!”

   Description: Join me on a trip in to Haliburton, Ontario, where Joseph Truss and I discuss the building blocks of the universe. This conversation assumes the conjecture that "We Live in a Tetraverse (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyYpZ3tN2aA)," (the first video in a series called, "Book of Codes"). Watch this video first, to appreciate the premise of our conversation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyYpZ3tN2aA A conjecture is defined as: "an opinion or conclusion formed on the basis of incomplete information." Joe is challenging the way Mathematicians and Physicists look at the universe today. Most perspectives put us in a three dimensional world based on three axis: X, Y, and Z. Joe says these are "necessary but not sufficient", and that while we can do calculations based on this model of the universe, it will always require us to work with irrational numbers and rounding errors... but it's all a question of resolution. Go deeper than the perspective of X,Y, Z and you encounter a universe built on triangles, or more specifically tetrahedrons. In a way, his premise is that working in a cube-based, X, Y, Z, universe is conjecture... it is working 'on the basis of incomplete information.' (http://podcasts.davidtruss.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/XYZ-Cube.webp) If we recognize that the smallest possible object in the universe (at the Planck length) is a tetrahedron and not a cube, (again see We Live in a Tetraverse (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyYpZ3tN2aA) to gain this insight), this doesn't dismiss any calculations done in a cube universe, it simply allows greater resolution... and maybe eliminates the need to work with irrational numbers and rounding of decimals. (http://podcasts.davidtruss.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/Tetrahedron.png) A simple metaphor for this would be moving from the imperial system of measurement to the metric system... measuring in millimetres instead of 16th's of an inch. (http://podcasts.davidtruss.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/Rulers.png) Admittedly, this is a bit of a challenging conversation to follow, first because we start talking about waves as seen drawn in 2 dimensions on paper, and so the conversation is lacking some visual descriptions we discuss. (http://podcasts.davidtruss.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/Waves.png)Secondly because we have discussed these ideas at length previously, we are quite comfortable describing shapes and making connections that are not so easy to visualize when you haven't had the same background conversations we've had. And yet, I felt the need to share this conversation, to bring to light some of the brilliant insights of Joseph Truss. One specific topic we discuss, that I haven't seen anywhere else, is the idea that infinity is a fractal. The infinity conversation begins at 21:08 of the podcast and if you only listen to one segment, that's the one to listen to. If you want to follow the full conversation, I'd suggest watching the video first. (http://podcasts.davidtruss.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/Mandelbrot-Set-surfer.png) Joe and I had walked down to a slow-moving river that adjoins his back yard. Joe, a musician as well as geometer, brought a drum with him and after playing a bit we started this conversation. I realized that this was worth recording and so I went back to to the house to get my phone. The podcast starts and ends with Joe playing the drums, and there is a drum interlude in the middle as well. So, pull up a seat next to us and enjoy this riverside conversation.
