Scientists are alleged to have demonstrated that honey bees have the capacity to count and discriminate up to four objects.
It seems that honey bees can discriminate between greater than and less than and as such can understand the concept of zero numerosity. Scientists suggest that honey bees seem to understand the concept of zero in relationship to other numerical values and that zero is lower than one. Scientists are now speculating that because insects, with different brain structures from birds and primates can understand the concept of zero as to whether such capacities might exist in other animals too.

Herman Goering was amongst the top ten of Nazi Germany’s ruling elites. He was a first class fighter pilot in WW1 and commanded the German air force (Luftwaffe) during WW2. It was not unusual for German leaders to have their own luxury trains. Hitler had one too. Goering set up a sophisticated command center on his train and it was used for accommodation purposes too. There is some rare Goering’s train footage in this video..

I suggest that zero is a multidimensional concept of explicit [temporal] and implicit [ontological] informational meaning
I believe that each of these meanings have values of some kind. These values “exist” in a concurrent relationship to each other and might be seen as being relational to ten dimensional string theory. These values are determinate and indeterminate. I suggest that there are finite and infinite values in these multidimensional “layers” of dimensional information. These layers are not necessarily limited to ten. Implicit values are not limited by nature, extent, determinable theory or fact. Explicit [temporal] values are. But what are these concurrent relational values related to? Is is something greater than nothing? If this is the case what can we make of this? Is it the property of mathematical i that is representative of zero [The zeroth dimension]? Are these the same concurrent values that influence and “set” the direction and purpose of our everyday lives? Do these values also contribute to our understanding of the meaning of our lives too?
I discuss why nothing might mean something
Some people think that zero means nothing. Others think zero means everything. If you read some of my science related blogs you will see where I believe that the later debate has merit. I propose this hypothesis in relationship to my view that the explicit [temporal] informational influences of the universe are “floating” in a sea of implicit [ontological] influences as described in this presentation. I further discuss this possibility in another shorter blog that I recently composed. From this I am proposing that all information that is implicit is without time [timeless] and as such is nondeterministic.
We can perhaps say from this that all implicit information is related to some sort of timeless [endless] continuum that can be referred to as being nothing. However, as we all know influences are real. Consciousness is real, consciousness has influential meaning. If this is correct, how can we discuss the properties [influence] of something that is nondeterministic and from a temporal perspective is “nothing”. I suggest that all that “IS” is either related to itself [I say a “common” continuum of awareness] as a universal continuum or otherwise temporally exists in a concurrent relationship with it. This is as though it were some sort of oneness. I think that this might be what Einstein was considering within this presentation that I recently compiled.
I propose that this “oneness” of all that IS has both temporal and ontological meaning and as such can perhaps be best described as having the mathematical and notional meaning of “everyday” purpose of zero. This meaning and purpose is represented by the mathematical concept of i.*
In respect to this debate you might find the three complementary links below to be of interest. In another blog demonstrate how I believe that from a multi-dimensional perspective such concept science might have merit.
* Quote:
“The imaginary number i: The imaginary numbers (numbers that include the value i = √ – 1) are a set of numbers not found on the real number line. If that idea sounds unbelievable — where else would they be? — don’t worry: For thousands of years, mathematicians didn’t believe in them, either. But real-world applications in electronics, particle physics, and many other areas of science have turned skeptics into believers. So if your summer plans include wiring your secret underground lab or building a flux capacitor for your time machine — or maybe just studying to get a degree in electrical engineering — you’ll find that imaginary numbers are too useful to be ignored.”

Some scientists believe that quantum mechanics is controlling our thoughts
In order to introduce this topic I will quote an extract from this BBC article.
“The American physicist Richard Feynman said this about the notorious puzzles and paradoxes of quantum mechanics, the theory physicists use to describe the tiniest objects in the Universe. But he might as well have been talking about the equally knotty problem of consciousness.
Some scientists think we already understand what consciousness is, or that it is a mere illusion. But many others feel we have not grasped where consciousness comes from at all.
The perennial puzzle of consciousness has even led some researchers to invoke quantum physics to explain it. That notion has always been met with skepticism, which is not surprising: it does not sound wise to explain one mystery with another. But such ideas are not obviously absurd, and neither are they arbitrary.
For one thing, the mind seemed, to the great discomfort of physicists, to force its way into early quantum theory. What’s more, quantum computers are predicted to be capable of accomplishing things ordinary computers cannot, which reminds us of how our brains can achieve things that are still beyond artificial intelligence. “Quantum consciousness” is widely derided as mystical woo, but it just will not go away.”
I will address the topic of this blog by quoting a full article from Discover magazine dated January 13, 2009. Although this article is now aged, I fell that it does seem to support the ideas I have shared with my readers in other blogs in my website. These are:
Work began on the Oxford dictionary in 1857, but it was only in 1884 that it began to be published in unbound fascicles as work
The Oxford English Dictionary has been the last word on words for over a century. The dictionary, which recognises that the English language is continually evolving, constantly collects new words and new meanings. And words are never removed — they form part of the dictionary’s picture of history.
The cited file herein is derived from an ABC Radio National story posted on April 9th 2020. I feel that you may find this story to be an historically fascinating one.
Why the councils of Nicea in 325AD and 787AD are so important to understand in respect to how Christianity is “mostly” practiced in our time
I understand that it is “risky business” to bring forward a subject of this type in these times. What I am attempting to do is to draw together information that might help “ordinary” people to better understand the political evolution of Christianity as it seems to exist today. I have elected to take the simplest method that I can in order to convey my message. I am not pretending that the contents of this blog are authoritative!
You will find that I have attached two files to this blog. File 1 provides insight into the “inner workings” of both councils. I have done this in case my readers have little knowledge about what both of these councils were all about. File 2 is much more comprehensive document that I have cut and pasted from a major work that I located online several years ago. This file is the defining document of this blog.
I consider that the first council of Nicea is the more important of both these religious assemblies. I say this for the following quoted reason. [I have italicised and emboldened the text that I feel you should most consider].
“The Council of Nicea was a landmark in several ways. It is generally thought of as the first ecumenical council, because it was the first council which brought together representatives from throughout Christendom, including those of opposing theological viewpoints. And it is theologically significant in that the doctrine of the Trinity emerged from the council as a mark of orthodoxy which still holds to this day.
But perhaps of even greater significance is that it was the first church council sanctioned by the ruling political entity. The emperor’s role in the council seems to have been nothing but positive, but the council signaled the beginning of an often stormy relationship between church and state which was to dominate the course of western history for over a thousand years until the Reformation in the 16th century. The relationship between church and state has continued to be an important political issue to the present day. Although there were unquestionable benefits to the church-state relationship, such as an end of persecution and freedom to proselytize, there were also some negative aspects. In particular, a potential for doctrinal despotism was created. With the support of the state, the church was able to dictate orthodoxy and to enforce conformity by making it a crime to express anything, publicly or privately, which contradicted the official position. This was to have a chilling effect on freedom of religion and freedom of expression, and would in time lead to rampant corruption. The church which had once been persecuted now became the persecutor. The Reformation, in which millions of believers seceded from the Catholic Church, was the eventual result. But at Nicea, at least, there was cause for celebration for the “army of martyrs” who were in attendance.”
