PhilosophyWe are learning, through physics and other sciences, that we are all interconnected and inseperable. Rather than being composed of individual atoms and particles the universe can be seen as a system of interacting quantum fields. From the viewpoint of field theory, we are all made of the same cosmic energy that flows through the universe. We learned of the Big Bang that described a singularity that exploded into energy and matter that formed into all things. We have speculated that this singularity may not be a singularity at all but arises due to a process called inflation. As the universe accellerates rapidly, particles dynamically arise from the vacuum. According to String Theory, there may be other spacial dimensions to the universe. While some of the dimensions have expanded, others may have contracted releasing giant amounts of energy. While we are confined to three dimensions other particles may be manifested within higher dimensioned manifolds called branes. It may also be possible that space-time itself is an emergent form arising from these branes. We have expanded these ideas to include the universe as a whole, as a space-time object of all possible paths which forms the basis for all existance. In the beginning there was emptiness, out of emptiness arose matter, energy, and space-time; this form of emptiness has evolved into a complex ordering allowing for life and consciounsess. Its from these higher dimensioned manifolds that properties of nature begin to arise. When we strip ourselves of all thoughts, conceptions, and the ever persistant mind, emptiness remains. It is the subtle essence through which all things rest upon. Quotes"Although all the atoms are in motion, their totality appears to stand totally motionless ... This is because the atoms all lie far below the range of our senses. Since they are themselveinvisible, their movements also must elude observation." Lucretius "to imagine the edge of space, or its edgelessness, time with a beginning and an end or time without a beginning or end, and both were equally impossible, equally hopeless ... Under an irresistible compulsion I reeled from one to the other, at times so closely threatened with the danger of madness that I seriously thought of avoiding it by suicide." Martin Buber |
