Touching
I’ve got another concept to throw at you before we get back to that point. The reasoning is simple; I want you to become bored with that thought. Just sitting there, doing absolutely nothing. No stimuli, no energy happening, no “time” coming into play, just a solo lifeless point; the only thing in existence.
Today I want to talk about “space”. Growing up I’ve been taught that “space” is a real thing. Something we can touch and measure, an entity with its own characteristics. The atmosphere of space is a vacuum. A vacuum is defined by the concept of complete emptiness. An area in which nothing resides. We follow that logic to the natural conclusion that space is nothing. One step further would be to acknowledge that there is nothing between us and our surrounding planets and stars. Let that sink in, absolutely NOTHING between us.
To keep this simple, we’ll talk about the sun. It’s easy to see how the sun touches the earth with sunlight, heat and radiation. Oh no, that can’t be, if the sun touched the earth it would burn up! Lucky for us there is a great distance between our planet and the central engine of that magnificent life-giving star. That is why the effects we feel are benign. Notice I said “distance”, not space. All planets, moons and stars dance together. These immense masses interdependent, touching as the gravitational forces and “dark energy” dictate their movement with NOTHING between them. Take that one step further with all the galaxies and solar systems all touching each other, we can reach back to reveal we are touching the big bang. Just one big blob of mass/energy using distance to maintain some semblance of order.
“Space” doesn’t separate everything, distance does. The earth touches the moon as it keeps it in orbit. The moon touches the earth as the tides change. All this incredible energy, living in harmony, working together to maintain the structure of the universe. Fluid dynamics are displayed, everything accelerating as it moves in waves away from that point of creation. Do you remember that innocuous equation E=mc2? Use that equation on the total mass of the universe….Whoa! That’s a big number. Now some scientists will have you believe all the energy will play out and leave the universe in a lifeless entropy, nothing moving at all. Some scientists will tell you it’s all being driven by “dark energy” so that keeps them guessing as to the eventual outcome. I just say PFFT to that sort of thinking!
None of that makes sense to me. Where did all that energy come from? How did it get into a tiny little point? (that’s one to blow your mind) Why did it “explode”? What actually is energy? Why do we only look at it through a mass viewpoint? How can I be connected to everything else in the universe? What is the simplest solution to this conundrum?
All of this brings us back to inherent acceleration. I won’t postulate on “why” the universe happened. However, I will delve into how and what is happening and why those pesky problems with a unification theory keep cropping up. Of course, it all has to do with that simple, beautiful, elegant single point of existence. Next time we chat, we’re going to wake that bad boy up.
