The Distance Between Events

If time is not a river or a dimension but only the distance between events, what then becomes of us? Is a life measured by years, or by the density of change it contains? This essay traces the haunting question of time—not to answer it, but to wander through its puzzles: the minus sign in the line element, the ghost of �, antimatter’s supposed reversal, and the possibility of a physics without clocks. Time appears less as something we move through and more as something we ourselves measure—a spacing of events that refuses ever to be final.

The Shadow Universe: Antimatter, Time, and the Mystery of Symmetry

Why does our universe exist in matter, when physics tells us it should have been born in perfect balance with antimatter? From CPT symmetry to Feynman’s vision of particles moving backward in time, from Penrose’s maps of spacetime to Hawking’s idea of imaginary time, the mystery deepens. This essay explores a radical possibility: that antimatter was never lost, but displaced into a shadow universe, unfolding along a different rhythm of time. Could this hidden twin still whisper across the folds of spacetime — perhaps even reaching from tomorrow into today?

The Universal Dichotomies: How Chaos Gives Birth to Order

In this post, we explore the fascinating interplay between chaos and order, showing how the conservation of information, entropy, and the rise of complexity shape both the universe and human consciousness — revealing what I call the Universal Dichotomies.
