A Dream: A Theory of Relativity for Desire and Emotion

General Relativity 

- The stronger gravity is, the slower time runs. 

- Mass bends space, and the bending of space produces gravity. 


Special Relativity 

- As you approach the speed of light, mass grows toward infinity. 

- A moving clock runs slower than the observer's clock. 

The simultaneity of events is slower than the observer's time.





Is it correct that gravity applies only to physical, material properties?

Is time, too, a domain of physics?

When you get off a carousel, it's not just the body that wobbles — your mind and thoughts spin around too (= full moon).

Isn't will, spirit, or thought also subject to gravity?

Radio waves — matter; thought — body. 

What if the mind is a domain of science?

If it were chemical reactions, then chemical reactions would also be within the sway of gravity.

If gravity and emotions or desires influence each other (thought — cup — mold),

and just as the sea has currents, if emotions or desires could ride time-currents or gravity-currents…


A theory of relativity for desire and emotion.

Within the continuum, the flow, the current of time — yesterday and today, today and tomorrow —

don't human emotion and desire have their own relativity?

And might they have continuities like desire-gravity, emotion-acceleration, resistance-inertia?
