"In coalescence there is an attempt at unification, and a principle that makes the attraction matter has for its "kind," the basis for all that exists. (Electrical forces come together to create the subatomic world, and gravitational forces compel diversity and variation in the world beyond the atom, the world we live in. Diffraction is the pattern of displacement, i.e., the path energy follows when escaping from a point.)"

A Collision of Two Infinities
(Gary M. Bloom, © July 1997HC, May 2000Int, Oct./Dec. 2001, June 2002-Dec. 2003-April 2006, 12-27-06, 2-16-08)
(This material may not be reproduced in any form without written permission of the author.)

For most of us, the immensity of the universe and the nature of infinity make it difficult to understand the world beyond our everyday environment, and all the equations, principles and theories don't make it any easier. However, there may be a simple approach, one that characterizes the universe in terms of persistence and behavior. A useful explanation would apply the physical laws affecting time, space and dimensionality in a series of consistent and corresponding statements. ("Grand unification" is an interesting "framework" in which to look for answers, but conclusions should probably not be based on the belief that everything has to begin and end in a certain way.)

(Experience commensurate with an advanced degree is needed to understand much of what has been discovered. As a consequence, the reason for most of us to read on the subject, is for entertainment. However, if you want to know how things work, you cannot just read a book, or several books; you have to study, make notes and consider the possibilities.)
 

A few words of explanation
 To tell this story, it has been necessary to make assumptions, and sometimes the author hopes the reader will read between the lines. (This is one man's take ( a layman's view), a study of how things work, sometimes arrived at by applying an intuitive process.) The point of view practiced here is to look at the universe from the "outside." (A different perspective may be useful: "Everything works together, and the universe is all there is!" Time and the three geometric dimensions are what we have to work with. Mass-density regulates everything: and acceleration continues until matter falls out of existence, or until everything is condensed into the head of a pin. So, how could that happen with regard to each of the 'players'? The atom prevents the universe from collapsing, because it conserves energy, and because it alters the space around it. From that comes the passage of time. Therefore, something about the atom must be the source, or arbiter, of time.)

The atom (i.e., conservation) prevents the progression of events (and the effects of mass-density) from finding a conclusion (i.e., collapse). This is crucial...when you see how the atom affects the space it is in, with regard to the passage of time (i.e., there is a sphere of influence, something like an "event horizon"), it becomes apparent that everything derives from the mechanics of the atom--time, dimension and acceleration. If you think in these terms, it is easier to let go and say, "everything is relative." Do not let the indefineability of infinity derail the reductive process, and do not look for a single, "grand equation" that ties the world of the atom to the space around it. (Failing to realize the significance of "change" and "boundlessness" is a limitation.)

   The math is baffling, and it does not allow for "boundlessness." That is, there is no set of numbers that includes infinity--you have to look elsewhere for answers. That is, what you can assume from observing each interaction, and what changes as a result, is what is actually going on--evolution is not about matter or energy, it is about change! It is not "grand," and it works because force and non-force eventually try all the possibilities. (The universe cannot come to an end because it is a dipole. Therefore, there is time to "get it right." Once coalescence begins, everything else is unavoidable!)
 

other thoughts
  This is not a formal theory. It is an effort to explain, in terms of behavior, a few of the rules of the physical world. There are two key events: The coalescence of matter breaks "symmetry," and guarantees the slowing of, and the "occurrence" of, time, and time guarantees "spin." You cannot simply say, "non-force compels the 'numbers,' hence spin." It is more appropriate to say, the "numbers" (i.e., trials and failures), and their infinite repetition and variation, facilitate time, spin, and evolution. The result is infinite diversity.

Evolution is driven by mass-density: The universe and the atom are the only two things that perform as they do. They are both without a center--hence they are "uncertain," on the "grand scale," in a manner of speaking. We could say, "that is not what 'uncertainty' is about;" however, the constantly changing (orbital--nonpolar) path of the electron guarantees "uncertainty," diversity and the passage of time.

GUIDE TO THIS SECTION:

 (read me!)
  An added feature, and a caution: As an afterthought (i.e., a peripheral project), links (i.e., "index pointers") have been added to this document to allow the reader to pick out a particular subject, and "look up" that one thing, by clicking on links and taking "side trips." However, many links are "chained," and clicking on "back," a common practice, while it will eventually return the reader to the "Guide," may take four or five clicks (backward, link, by link, by link). Otherwise, it is necessary to remember exactly what the subject of the "search" was, and then watch for related return links (i.e., by keyword). It will be simpler to stay within the flow of the text, to the end, without making any "side trips." However, where particular information is desired (such as, review of a subject, and/or checking for specific details), using the system of links (listed below), may be useful! (A Collision of Two Infinities was originally part of As Well as Nature Intended, and some sections still reside there. This is a work in progress, and it began during June and July of 1997. The latest update was completed in February of 2008.)

Anthropomorphism:
 Osmosis, the most basic biologic function, can be characterized in terms
consistent with the laws of physics. In As Well as Nature Intended there is
an explanation as to how this works. The body is electromagnetic in nature,
with, as its purpose, to sustain itself in the face of a hostile environment.
The algorithm, IPK, represents the interface potential of the field of energy
produced by all living things. Life is not a complete set, because it sustains
itself through its dependency on the very environment it struggles against.

  In the body, IPK is limited by the rate of neural transmission (in inches or
meters per second). If there is a correlation in simpler structures, the rate of
change and of equalization is proportionately increased, versus the decline
in sophistication, while the state of such matter must be increasingly more
stable. IPK would become more a function of resonant properties at the sub-
atomic level, and not of metabolic processes. In order for life to evolve, a highly
complex set of supporting events and circumstances must take place within a
very narrow window in time and space. (Life comes into existence as the cycle
nears its end (at 2 degrees Kelvin). We are part of the last step in evolution
before "singularity" brings extinction. Existence awaits its turn, as expansion
nears climax, and all the elements conducive to life, come together. Given
this opportunity to participate, we are the children of the universe, its grandest
design, but we barely find refuge, before time finds its conclusion.)

"Sliding Decompression:" A State of Constant Change
 Stress peaks, related to seasonal change, appear at the half-power points
(.7071--the sine of a 45° angle) of  a subset of a system bounded by the
"Chandrasekhar limit," and closed by infinity. The Chandrasekhar limit
(1.44 solar masses) is the parameter that must not be exceeded if a solar
system, capable of producing living things, one such as our own, is to have
the energy and the time needed to evolve. (The Chandrasekhar limit puts
scale to the narrow range of stellar masses, minimum to maximum--.8
to 1.2 solar masses, that can stabilize and maintain relative constancy for
the necessary billions of years.)

 Stress peaks are the "stirring points" for the evolution of living things. As
a part of the life-force stimulus, they appear as rhythmic changes in the
environment, and in Earth's case, as part of the progression of the four seasons.
("Frame dragging" and relativity: The "shape" of time and existence, in this
plane, is constantly changing due to the "eccentric" relationship (inclination)
between the Earth and the Sun.)

Angular Momentum ("Angularity")
 The pattern of RNA and DNA is determined by a system of "code words,"
but there is an environmental component affecting the shape and "twist" of the
"threads of life." There must be a complimentary modification in behavior and
structure at some formative level. (All living things must adapt to changes in their
environment, but more than that, they can only come to life when the seeds of
variation find a combination compatible with existing conditions.)

 The basic structure of all living things forms in the presence of, or could only
form in the presence of, and is thereby resistant to, angular momentum--an
effect of the Earth's rotation. Angular momentum is another "unseen force,"
and while its effect is constant (i.e., Earth is spherical and spins on an axis), its
rate decreases moving away from the equator. The rate of motion, eastward, in
New York, Sydney and Paris being about two-thirds of what it is at the equator.
(The effect of angular momentum and the effect of each of the other
forces of nature is instrumental to the uniqueness of living things!)

 Given the off-axis position of the magnetic poles, and given the latitudinal
variation in Earth's rotational speed, the relationship between the forces of
nature is dissimilar for all geographic points, even for those on the same line.
"Asymmetric angulation:" No two points feel the same summing of forces,
because the North Magnetic Pole (i.e. the lodestone deposit in North Central
Canada) and True North are 700 miles apart--nonaligning. Further, the South
Magnetic Pole is a manifestation, or function, of the North, and has no source
of its own. ("The forces of nature find balance by creating or attracting
opposing forces! The South is a consequence of the North!")

   ("angularity"--more)

Coalescence (Ce): If DNA, Then Why Not Everything?
 The universe is like a seed that sprouts and grows in the most remarkable
ways. The coming together of events that produces living things requires
millions of years of evolution, but it all comes about as if by some grand
design. Four forces appear as the plan unfolds, and in the final moments,
when all the energy is expended, the universe collapses, and becomes as
it was in the beginning (or maybe not). When collapse comes about, with
the cycle near its end, the heat of compression becomes infinite, bringing
a period of expansion (i.e., "boiling off"). ("Two infinities cannot exist in
the same place at the same time--infinite density yields infinite acceleration.")

  Looking closer, we can see how the changes that ultimately produce
living things, take place. The evolution of the forces that create life is very
orderly. When the super-heated universe expands and cools sufficiently,
positively and negatively charged particles clarify and interact, likes repelling,
and opposites attracting.

  The largest particles come together to form protons and neutrons. With the
conversion of undefined and super-heated matter into clearly defined atomic
structures, the weak electrical force and the electromagnetic force come into
being. The unifying electrical attraction that holds the particles within protons
and neutrons together is known as the strong nuclear force. After 300,000
years, electrons, the most numerous members of a family of small negatively
charged particles, known as leptons, find orbits around the protons and
neutrons to form the basic elements (hydrogen and helium). In time, more
complex atoms will be created, but the necessary conditions for this to happen
will not be in place for hundreds of millions of years.
 

An "Uncertain" Universe: A Collision of Two Infinities
 The universe in ten statements: (1) Magnetic lines and angular momentum
characterize unity by forming at right angles to the source! (2) Angular
momentum is a function of the mass in the gravitational field, and the field
of energy is a function of the flow of electrons in the encircled pathway.

 The question would seem not to be "will the universe eventually contract,"
but when will it contract: (Think of the universe as though it were a balloon,
or a bubble, inflating and deflating (i.e., "opening" and "closing"), providing
an opportunity for diverse forces to come into existence and evolve!) One such
force (or entity), a black hole, is not simply a sphere of compressed matter, it is
"transitional," and when all things become still...with energy fully expended...
the state of existence reverses to find matter fully compressed, and time begins
again. The same mechanism that creates galaxies, creates, or is at the center of,
larger mechanisms (i.e., "singularities").

 All matter, once divested of its energy (i.e., within one-one hundred and eighty
billionth of a degree of absolute zero, or dispersed to a density of 5 x 10-27 kg
per cubic meter), falls inward in the continuing effort to form "one thing."
(A  super-atom attempts to form on a universal scale.) The only alternative
would be to "evaporate," but there is nowhere to go--all things must return
to the source again and again, the sum always being less than one (i.e., never
achieving a solution)! It will never be "one," because perfect equilibrium
cannot be achieved with a mechanism of this sort. "Existence, then, is
coalescence (Ce) in a state of flux."

 The correlation between "self" and "nonself" is not unlike that between matter
and space. In a world where everything happens in a span of time, we are
creatures trapped in the fourth dimension, ill-equipped to comprehend its nature,
because this is where we exist. (The "self" can only exist in the realm of time,
not in space or as matter!)

 One theory says, the universe is enclosed by two condensates (i.e., has
"symmetry," and is a closed set). At one extremity, matter gains more mass than
it has space for. At the other, all that has propelled it to the farthest reaches is
lost. When all the energy is expended, there is nothing left but to return to the
point at which it began.

 If the universe began in a wave of increasing energy, galaxies farther out would
move away from the point of origin faster, and background radiation would appear
to be the same everywhere. After billions of years of expansion, large-scale
coalescence (i.e., the accumulation of matter into clumps brought about as an
effect of gravity and randomness) would end, and everything would begin the
long trip (i.e., would be drawn) back to a single point. After more billions of years,
contraction would end in cataclysm, with matter moving away from the point at
almost light-speed.

A change in direction (i.e., matter/energy folding on itself), such as would be
consistent with a chain reaction at the "moment of singularity" (S), would have
an exponential effect. Collapsing into the breach, matter farther out is drawn
inward, while matter near the reaction (event horizon) moves outward. For the
briefest instant, at the "moment of conversion," change is infinite and absolute
(i.e., a decompression event (a.k.a. "cosmic inflation") occurs, as time begins
again.)

  (cosmic inflation--more)

 "'Symmetry' gives entropy a second chance, and coalescence brings order
to randomness!" (Time is a resonant condition, or "residue," produced by
change! Without flux there is no radiation, no residue and no time! All that
exists in time is entropic, and is part of the effort to restore and maintain
"symmetry!")

 If we apply IPK, where the limiting factor, or resolution point, is the speed
of light, the algorithm represents the conflict between the forces of attraction
and repulsion, and in terms of behavior, unifies the field. (In a star, IP, interface
potential, is the balance between fusion and gravity, and in the atom, it is
positively charged particles interacting with negatively charged particles.
Ce and IPK correspond (shown as Ce ~ IPK) because both find existence
in seeking the perfection of a circle--pi-d.)

 (3) With both gravity and magnetism, displacement of the field forms a
"curve" as a proportionate line function of the matter or energy within
whatever the point has become. When entropy overcomes the forces of
fusion, the "curve" becomes a point once more. (Stellar evolution (as fusion)
turns hydrogen and helium into more complex structures.)

  Fusion and electromagnetism are byproducts of the effects of gravity and
large-scale coalescence. (Coalescence involves the forces of "symmetry" and
potential seeking unity.) In a near perfect balance, resisting the efforts of time
and space, the atom conserves huge amounts of energy. However, denied
perfection, there is a net result (i.e., a difference) that imposes its will by
warping space and bringing more matter into the "fold:" "Gravity displaces,
or curves, space to make room for matter." The summing of the forces of
repulsion and attraction, with the electron moving at light-speed around the
nucleus, characterizes matter and embraces space and time. (It almost seems
as though the vortex created by the electron moving around the nucleus
could evacuate space and draw matter into its wake!)

 If the net effect of the atom repels space, or if the equalizing force of
coalescence extends its reach from atom to atom, a sphere of influence
related to displacement pressure will form. That is, mass/density lessens
exponentially in all directions, moving away from the center. (Kepler and
Newton discovered that force is inverse to the square of the distance.)

 (4) Large-scale coalescence, as "gravity," shapes inorganic matter and living
things in the same way, by excluding any other possibility. "Displacement"
joins with "displacement" in an effort to form "one thing." The net effect,
matter falling inward, causes space to "fall" (i.e., to move, or "curve") outward!

 (5) In "normal (i.e., 'finite') space," matter forms an axis, and begins to spin
as a result of gravity's effort to find a center. (Angular momentum displaces
matter in a spiral pattern.) Streamers of hot gases swirl off in coalescing clumps,
and vortices form, giving birth to galaxies, like tornadoes spawning in a hurricane.
Immense swirling clouds of matter come together, and provide a place for the
creation of living things. Tucked safely between the folds of incredible turbulence,
consciousness finds existence, and for a brief moment, the universe is home.
Eventually, the attraction of one thing for another disrupts all that has come to
be. With matter torn in every direction, the universe contracts as coalescence,
on the end-scale, begins.

 "Spin can only occur where "symmetry" prevails, and "symmetry" can only
prevail in 'normal space,' not beyond it." With the chaos and disorder of
the expanding universe, it might seem that spin would not be likely to occur.
However, under the influence of gravity (and from our point of view), all
things should eventually begin to spin. But infinity is not "normal space,"
and Einstein says, only ("normal") space can tell matter how to move. With
the absence of the influence of "normal space," "symmetry" is denied the
help of gravity, and unlike everything within it, the universe cannot spin!

  The space within the universe is "normal" (i.e., relativistic: "finite" and
dimensional), but the space the universe is in is undefined (i.e., infinite and
non-dimensional). Therefore, from infinity's viewpoint, the universe is always
"singular," and spin is without direction (i.e., has no basis). In order to find
a center and form an axis, matter must have a geometric relationship to the
space it is in! ("The universe is all there is, and infinity is everything else!"
"Space is the absence of matter, and infinity is the canvas the universe is painted
on!") In "normal space," there are no straight lines...the shortest distance
between two points is a function of pi-d, but in "non-dimensional space,"
where there is no curvature, there is a potential for expansion along a line,
with no limiting dimension--"non-space" never closes! ("Normal space"
(a.k.a. "outer space," or "finite space") is the space between atoms, and "non
space," with no dimension and no direction, is a paradox, because it is less
than "singular," i.e., has no curvature. The space within the atom (i.e., between
particles) is not "normal space" (i.e., is not relativistic), it is "inner space"
(i.e., paradistic), bounded by coalescence, a quantum reality where time
stands still.) ("Finite:" "Normal space" is curved and holds a finite amount
of matter, hence that space takes on "finite" (i.e., varying) properties.)

 It might seem pointless to debate whether something that, for all intents and
purposes, is exploding could spin. However, in this case, looking for answers
where there should be no surprises brings a greater understanding of infinity
and the nature of space. A likely question, and the reason for pursuing this issue
is, will gravity and large-scale coalescence prevail and induce spin when the
universe contracts? The answer is the same--with no center and no axis, and
unlike the atom, spin cannot begin! (Exp.: This effect of the universe is unlike
the nature of the atom (visa vis "Pauli's Exclusion"), with no simultaneously
repelling and attracting force, such as an effect of having both positive and
negative quarks, there is no will to conserve energy or resist collapse, thus no
moment of force, seeking a line at right angles to the source. "Pauli's Exclusion:"
The atom promotes conservation and frames time.)

 If the universe is not moving on an axis, the streamers and clumps of matter
that provide for the formation of galaxies must be a function of the chaos and
disorder of expansion. Either way, with the passage of time, and with the
certainty of randomness, the creation of living things must follow!

 (6) Given the spherical shape of the early universe, the pole-to-equator
variation in angular momentum (if rotation could find a beginning) would
motivate matter near the surface of the sphere and above the equator to
spin in a direction opposite from matter below (e.g., similar to the actions
of hurricanes and cyclones). However, for matter more to the interior, poles
would begin to align, while the direction of spin and the shape would be
consistent with the region! Because it is known that galaxies do not follow
this pattern, we can again conclude that the universe is not spinning! This
outcome, though disappointing to those who favor a more synchronous
reality, is consistent with relativity, and attests to "symmetry" and "singularity"
as the boundaries of existence!

 In the realm of infinity, the rules change--coalescence needs a boundary,
and infinity is boundless (i.e., undefined)! If the universe were finite and
spinning, with angular momentum greatest near the equator, or central plane,
the sphere would expand and flatten, eventually becoming disc shaped.
("Spin characterizes matter in 'bounded space,'" planets, stars and galaxies
included. A contradiction: Space is boundless, but in "normal space" (i.e.,
matter compels curvature and produces "finite" characteristics) what is actually
boundless works as though it were bounded.) In the evolution of the universe,
the vortex-like actions of outward bound galaxies test the limits of "normal
space," while contraction is inevitable. ("Mass/density drives evolution, and
spin characterizes change, where contraction is the goal.")

 A universe with spin, like a galaxy, would be "transitional," changing from
nearly spherical to nearly flat, as though from three dimensions to two,
and eventually collapsing along a line back to a single point. Regardless
of any change in shape, when expansion reaches its limit, the heat
produced by subsequent contraction should become a significant force
for the resumption of expansion long before the universe could shrink to
the size of a star or galaxy. (Interestingly, "flattening out," at least where
galaxies are concerned, appears to be necessary for the evolution of living
things, and spin is always a factor! ("'Flattening out' (i.e., 'angularity')
occurs at angles 90 degrees to the plane of existence.")

 A universe among "universes:" All things adapt and evolve as the
environment changes! Galaxies form and life begins where "universes"
overlap. Like drops of rain striking the surface of a pond, waves of
outbound energy, radiating from one point, intersect with an identical
and opposing force, an outpouring from another point having the same
nature--another "singularity" within the same "infinity."

Matter condenses, and ripples form, where expanding waves of energy
come together, where energy meets energy and "singularity" meets "singularity!"
(The 7 cm background radiation, detected in the 1960s, by earthbound stations,
would be a blending of two or more such formative waves. If this were so,
and consistent with coalescence (i.e., matter and space seeking unity), there
could still only be one universe, but it would, in effect, be "partitioned," or
"compartmentalized," and in that universe, the pattern of "diffraction," shock
waves rippling through the fabric of time, would be a force for diversity--for
a brief instant the shape of space and time would "well up!"(Diffraction is the
pattern of displacement that waves of energy follow when escaping from a
point, and things entropic (i.e., "entrops") exist where space and time are relative.
The atom resists change (i.e., is timeless--paradistic: regulates time, but is not
affected by time...it is "ahead" of time), while relativity is characterized by
change (i.e., "curvature"--"entrops" are "curved"). Quantum effects are small-
scale and bounded, and relativistic effects are large-scale and boundless...but
matter endows space with "finite" (i.e., bounded) properties, where space
"turns up" to make room for time.)

(diffraction--more)

 In large-scale coalescence, gravity presides over all things, and everything
beyond (outside of) the atom is a model of everything else! If "symmetry"
prevails, the universe will have the life expectancy of the proton--1 to the
30th years, more or less. (The life of the proton is a function of conservation,
and the product of the equilibrium brought about by coalescence at the
quantum level. Small-scale (quantum) coalescence is, or yields, "change
with spin," a rapture between space and matter, which gives birth to time
and existence.)

 Motion is what particles do in the effort to fill space and achieve equilibrium--
motion and density prevail! If perfect equilibrium were possible, the universe
would quickly become static! (Equilibrium is the only dimension in a universe
that is inelastic, and where no time can pass. In that space, particles would
have mass but no weight, like a mist of constant density, with equal attraction
in all directions. If space were empty, the same thing would happen--time
would stand still.) "The effort to form 'one thing' continues as long as the
goal is not achieved!" Unification in the universe is like unification in living
things--it can be demonstrated at a behavioral level! To approach the problem
by looking for a single, all-encompassing explanation may be missing the
point. Persistence, not success, is what makes nature work!

 (7) Gravity is part of a large-scale effort to achieve that which cannot be
achieved--singularity! Large-scale coalescence maintains the time line
as contraction begins! Conservation will resist entropy for as long as the
cumulative and expanding nature of large-scale coalescence seeks "closure"
(i.e., but only until the end-scale).

 The randomness of entropy and the regenerative effect of large-scale
coalescence makes contraction a bumpy ride. Another way of looking at
it: End-scale coalescence makes the process of contraction (i.e., collapse),
one of "negative expansion." The universe will eventually fall backward
on itself, while time continues forward. (The contraction of the universe can
only succeed when all that has been created is overcome--almost never!)

 With living things, variation prevails by becoming the focus of existence.
This to is coalescence working to form "one thing"--the will to live. Gravity
and the life-force, born of fusion, follow the path of coalescence. "Resonance,"
coherence and variation bring uniqueness to living things. In a universe where
electromagnetic force and gravity conspire, evolution tracks "displacement"
(i.e., the accumulation of matter alters space and time)! (Equilibrium is the
absence of change, in the presence of potential.)

 (8) The force of gravity and the strength of the magnetic field are each dependent
on the conflict between mass/density and acceleration, where the limiting speed
(s´) is equal to the speed of light (c). (E = mc2 represents rest potential, where
the energy of the proton equals one billion electron-volts, and conservation resists
entropy!)

 The attraction of the proton for the electron is relentless, and the magnetic
shell formed by the electron harmonizes the field. (The neutron is like an
ovum that holds the seeds of atoms unborn, thus contributing to conservation
on the large-scale. When helium and the more complex atoms lose their
energy and begin to break down, each of the freed neutrons gives off a proton
and an electron, the stuff of hydrogen atoms--the neutron is "'transition' in
waiting"--the beginning and the end--a paradox of time and conservancy.)

 (9) All that exists is projected along a "straight line!" The "line" (i.e.,
infinity) is indefinable, and existence is held within its limits. Infinity defies
the curvature that characterizes and limits "normal" space, and those things
enclosed by infinity are dissimilar to it. When the "line" is projected in
two dimensions, it becomes a circle. In three dimensions, the circle is a
sphere, and in the fourth dimension, the sphere is populated with living
things!

 Coalescence closes, or fills, space on the large-scale, and provides for the
passage of time on the small-scale. With energy, it tests infinity. With matter,
it "curves" space. With conservation it resists "closure." Coalescence is
the pattern for all that exists: Each reality, space, matter, time and energy
expands along a line, which, when followed back to its beginning, becomes
a point. At the boundary of existence, where infinity dwells, large-scale
coalescence is denied "transition"--without spin, it is indeterminate, and from
infinity's point of view, the universe is always the same. (Time is the result
of a transaction between space and matter!)

(In a closed set, everything leads to, and comes from, everything else.
Any force for "closure," when traced back far enough, is part of the force
that resists "closure." The processes of disorder convert force to non-force--
the cycle moves toward its conclusion, only to repeat itself. However,
"transition" is opposed by "exclusion"--Wolfgang Pauli. Basically, Pauli
said, archetypes seek equilibrium and resist entropy, or more simply,
"archetypes resist entropy.")

 (Pauli's exclusion--more)

 It is the intent here to show how gravity and conservation are each part of
a singular loop that, by its complex interactions, moderates and regenerates
itself. Relative stability is achieved, because the effects of expansion (i.e.,
time and dimensionality) and the effects of "closure" (i.e., chaos and
disorder) derive from and buffer each other. Without this "moderation,"
everything would take place at an infinite pace, and end at "time 0." ("The
universe is a place where matter dwells, and gravity is an expression of the
conflict between emptiness and existence.")

 (10) With regard to the electron, the atom works somewhat like a particle
accelerator, with no target, restricted only by the potential for infinite density.
(a.) Quantum coalescence, a manifestation of equilibrium and conservation,
is characterized by spin (result: "exclusion"). (b.) Large-scale, or relativistic,
coalescence is a manifestation of gravity, and is also characterized by spin
(result: diversity and creation). (Spin and revolution are driven by the same
thing--matter trying to fall inward on itself, and the Sun and the Earth appear
as part of the same thing if you see (recognize) the oneness (i.e., a "contract"
exists) between dimensional space and the matter within it.

  Relativity is a propagated quantum reality. Quantum coalescence (QCe: the
formation of atoms), propagated coalescence (PCe: the clumping of matter)
and living things fall within the set, where "singularity" is the beginning and the
end. Existence (i.e., humanity) is a set within a set, where IPKn is the way of
all things! (Infinite density, by limiting "transition" to light-speed, is a force for
moderation. Anything that limits acceleration "seeks," or promotes, equilibrium!)
(Propagated coalescence: relativistic effects are supported by quantum effects--
conservation provides relativity with the time to work, and relativity gives the
atom purpose.)

 The atom, by the conservation of its particles, and by the effects of the field
thus created, regulates space and time--like a gyroscope acting on three
dimensions to create the fourth. Conservation allows time to pass, and
existence to find diversity! The coming together of matter with the geometry
of "normal" space derives gravity and time--one a relentless force for change,
the other a consequence of it. "Space tells matter how to move, and matter
tells space how to curve."

 Equilibrium and truth reside in "inner space." Relativity and essence reside
in "outer space." The orbit of the electron forms a boundary, or interface,
between the two. In terms of hierarchy, the electron is the arbiter of change,
and its path is the model, or paradigm, for the curvature of space and the
passage of time. (The electron, as part of the atom, is "transitional," and as
such plays a part in both quantum and relativistic realities. "Inner space," the
quantum universe, is non-dimensional, but in a different sense than the space
(i.e., non-space) the universe is in--space meets time where conservation
"enables" (i.e., limits or moderates) "transition.")

The forces within the atom are resistant to the effects of gravity (W. Pauli).
"Gravity is a side effect of the quest for equilibrium--whirling ever onward,
with no end in sight." ("Entropy and relativity float on a sea of conservation!")
Gravity is relative, and it is only seen as a force because of time--it and we
only exist because time passes. Conservation plays a trick on space, and
gravity brings character to chaos and entropy. Near the end of time, as matter
falls inward, eventually folding on itself, a "singularity" forms to begin time again.
(For an infinitesimally brief instant, at the moment of conversion, equilibrium
seems within reach--gravity and time cease, because both are "transitional," i.e.,
they only exist in a universe buoyed by conservation (i.e., where conservation
is the rule).

   (Pauli's exclusion--more)

 When infinite density is reached, gravity changes from a relativistic force
(matter in motion, affecting "outer space") to a bounded reality, a "singularity,"
in "inner space," where all motion ceases and nuclear structures collapse--
for a brief instant, the laws of physics are suspended and "symmetry" almost
succeeds in its effort to form "one thing." The attraction between particles
of opposite charge is the only force until such time as this freed matter cools,
and coalescence can find a new beginning.

As matter joins the "singularity," contraction continues, with density increasing
exponentially. When critical mass/density is reached, at billions of degrees,
an outward bound wave of energy, overwhelms the integrity of atoms in its path.
The resulting matter/energy conversion continues to build as more inbound
matter becomes part of the reaction. (Expansion occurs when critical mass/
density is reached--"transition" derives from the square of the radius.)
"Inflation" is more a function of the geometry of space than of matter or
energy (i.e., as the diameter of space is halved, density and the potential
energy squares until a critical number is reached--collapse continues as
expansion begins. When the rate of expansion declines, and when the
protomatter cools sufficiently (in about 10,000 years), coalescence (QCE)
and conservation, begin again--symmetry breaks, eventually forming four
forces, and ultimately leading to the creation of living things. (As progeny
of the effects of truth, but not of truth itself, it is difficult to perceive nature
as it really is!)

 It might seem that there would be a period of alignment, or consolidation,
at the end of time: For an instant, the universe would polarize, with the
strongest positive particles toward the center of the sphere, and the weakest
negative particles toward the outside, still seeking "one thing." However,
this could only be achieved if their were someplace else to go, and if matter
could be reduced to a single particle. Theoretically, this particle, a monopole,
would ultimately fall out of existence. However, because the universe is all
there is, and because it is a dipole (i.e., made up of unresolvable opposites),
critical density and a new beginning will always be reached before
extinction. (Transition can only occur where "symmetry" and gravity prevail,
and as long as "symmetry" and gravity prevail, transition cannot end in
extinction!)

 We are like aliens, sailing a ship bound for who knows where and who
knows when. Along the way, we wonder of the quest, never realizing
we are up to it, but always thinking it is ours to grasp. Is it possible that
some generation will cross the millennia to answer Homer's song, with
no more wit than he, but with the tools forged by those who followed in
his path.

  Is it our heritage to be the eyes and ears of the universe--to afford
nature an opportunity to look itself over? Are we made in its image?
Is this the "sea," and is there nothing more, or is there yet a finer plan?

 The imperfect equilibrium of the atom creates a resonant condition (i.e.,
a leakage of energy), allowing time to pass, and living things to flourish
(i.e., the atom strikes a compromise with space)! "Fusion, wrought by
large-scale coalescence, turns simplicity (i.e., truth and beauty) into
diversity, and variation into probability!" (The weak and strong forces
of the atom, along with the forces of gravity and electromagnetism, are
joined by the life force, to complete the field!)

 Light-speed is the point, at which matter can no longer maintain its
structure, and appears as waves rather than particles. The difference/
relationship between matter and energy is that matter has potential, and
energy is the expression of that potential. Once "expressed," it has no
higher order to accede to, and the impetus for acceleration no longer
exists--it has achieved its goal! The electron, in its orbit around the
nucleus of the atom, exists in a state somewhere between matter and
energy (i.e., a resonant condition). Light is "resonance" on a grand scale,
matter seeking destiny and taking on infinite properties.

Gravity and Time
   (A theory is not viable unless each statement can be successfully tested!)
In 1997, I considered the possibility of "compartments," forming "lesser
singularities," in an effort to understand, or find an alternative to, Alan Guth's
"cosmic inflation." I speculated on how more than one "singularity" might come
about, but set the question aside to concentrate on the concept that had given
me a better understanding of infinity--Stephen Hawking's "no-boundary condition."
It seemed certain that "boundlessness" led to "singularity," but returning to the
source must follow a winding course, and Andre Lindé had introduced a related
theory (probably during or just prior to 1997), suggesting the possibility of
"multiple universes" and/or "multiple singularities." (A note of clarifcation added
in 2-16-08.  I did not look to study whether he was talking about what I had in
mind, but it got me back on my theory of multiple singularities. To maintain my
independence I never went on Andre Lindé's web site or read his book. That also
means I still don't really know what Andre Lindé was talking about.)

Once solved, every puzzle seems easy! What if "inflation," "diffraction"
and "lesser singularity" were to be reckoned with, but the universe still began
and ended in "true singularity"--with everything in the universe squeezed into a
single point? (With no talent for the equations, the domain of mathematicians
and physicists, I just wanted to know, at some level, how it all tied together.
Conventional wisdom sees living things from the outside, and the universe
from the inside--my reasoning was just the opposite--a point of view which,
though flawed, might prove advantageous!)

 There are many ways to perceive the universe: Space is the absence of
matter, and gravity is a force for closure. Gravity is the effect space has on
matter. Matter is energy at rest! Matter displaces, or "closes," space, while
seeking equilibrium and attempting to form "one thing!" (Each of these
statements helped form a picture, but nothing seemed to close the set, and
return the universe to its simplest and earliest condition!)

 Some rules always apply: "Two infinities cannot exist in the same place, at
the same time!" "Gravity is matter seeking equilibrium in boundless space!"
"Infinity tries every combination!" (that is, infinity compels matter to evolve
until a working combination is found.) Hawking was right, but Einstein
envisioned more than anyone else, before or since, but he did not approve
of the notion of "singularity!" (Why the search for a single equation?
Unification seems not to be an issue! The set closes, because "infinity is
everything else," not because everything comes together at the end of time
in a tidy sum!)

  (Einstein: next 38 paragraphs)

 Why did Einstein not favor the possibility of "singularity," and are
"compartments" a part of the answer? ("Compartmentalization" came up as
the result of an experiment: I wandered what else could cause the background
radiation to be the same everywhere. Then, I realized how important my new
"understanding" of infinity was.)

 If the universe is boundless, "multiple singularity" is unavoidable! My
ideas about "diffraction" and "compartmentalization" seemed valid, but
like "multiple singularity," added significantly to the clutter and chaos of
expansion and contraction! The contradictions to "singularity," and Einstein's
lack of support, each seemed to mean the same thing!

 The experts did not agree: To satisfy my curiosity, I pieced together a picture
of how everything might work: "Compartmentalization" and the "oneness"
of infinity yield "multiple singularity:" Chaos resolves into "compartments," and
"compartments" resolve into "lesser singularity." (Conservation and "diffraction"
delay the inevitable and encourage diversity, where "Sn" is the sum of the
separate events.) The only way to come to peace with "singularity" is to say, "the
universe is always a 'singularity' if it is ever a 'singularity,'" and from infinity's
point of view, it is just that.

Observations: "Angularity" is always present in three-dimensional
(i.e., "normal") space! "Curvature" closes three-dimensional space, and
angular momentum converts the energy of the dipole into living things!
"Curvature" was part of Einstein's contribution--why didn't he favor
"singularity?" (By the late 1920s, everyone accepted "Pauli's exclusion"
as the explanation of the force which prevents nuclear collapse, but it
appears, there was not enough information to go further!)

 When the secrets of the double helix began to unravel in the 1950s and
1960s two important clues surfaced (i.e., the "twist" in the strands of DNA
and the first X-ray photographs of bonding in the double helix, the work
of Rosalind Franklin), but another question was being asked, and "the
greater truth" slipped away--a window of opportunity opened and closed.
At the time, there was little likelihood anyone would characterize things
within the universe as being left-handed and "angular!"

(Wolfgang Pauli was close!) Einstein said time is affected by density,
and infinite density brings time to a halt, but he did not go on to say, time
is a function of change. This is where quantum mechanics meets relativity,
and it is why the orbit of the electron is so important. I did not understand
it when I first said, "the electron is the arbiter of change"--it just seemed right,
but with more thought, it became apparent that John Lennon perceived the
structure of existence in the correct order! (Lennon's observation: "When we
change we get older. There is something wrong with that!") The recognition
of the ability of coalescent matter to hold its form, and not spontaneously
collapse, with the electrons falling into the nucleus is Pauli's contribution.
(Gravity and electromagnetism induce spin, spin promotes the evolution of
living things, and conservation prevents collapse on the grand scale! "Spin
is the nearest thing to unity!")

There is a paradisis (i.e., a state of implacable harmony) about the
electron and its orbit that resists change and shapes the paradox of time.
If "everything beyond (outside of) the atom is a model," then the atom is
uniquely similar to the universe as a whole. (i.e., The atom resists change
by maintaining the same relationship to space in all directions--it has no
sense of direction.)

  (paradisis: next eight paragraphs)

 A Newtonian point of view: With any increase in mass, gravity increases
proportionately. This might seem to suggest the atom, and each of its parts,
possesses a specific gravitational unit of force. However, general relativity
and the "no boundary condition" say, "in the absence of force there is a
potential for infinite density...'normal' space collapses into non-space!" That
is, the universe has a limited, or finite, amount of matter, and since everything
is relative, the more matter in a given space the more effect it has on that space--
there is a lesser percentage of the whole elsewhere--the lack of an alternative
yields gravity!

 (Return to the "guide" for this section)   (no boundary condition)

 The "uncertainty principle" says, the electron is, or attempts to be, everywhere
at once. This suggests the structure of the atom, like the universe, but unlike
any other model, has no axis and no center. The electron cannot be everywhere,
so the atom is only "near perfect." This "frailty" is the "resonant condition" that
allows time to pass, and entropy to proceed (very slowly). Without the atom, and
its conservation of energy, the universe would quickly deteriorate into oblivion.
The universe we know began to form 10,000 years after "conception," when
atomic structures came into existence and "symmetry" broke!

  ("uncertainty principle," next  8 paragraphs)
 

The speed and energy of the electron in its orbit can be represented in an
equation (i.e., the work of Paul Dirac-1928: E = c(axpx+ aypy + azpz) + Bmc2
If a single atom could be viewed directly it would look like a ball of dust, with
its electron(s) aimlessly circling, in search of the nucleus. It is the undefined and
unpredictable nature (i.e., the "uncertainty") of this situation that facilitates all
that is! ("'Symmetry' breaks to produce 'uncertainty!'") (Einstein's energy equation
is the basis for Dirac's equation--"the next step." Dirac characterized the set in
3 dimensions, adding to what Einstein had revealed in two dimensions. E = mc2
represents potential, but not structure and "uncertainty.")

  (Dirac--more)

 If we can say the forces of coalescence bore us and gave us time to exist,
we can also say, photons are the light that draws us to the force that holds
us. (Photons are electromagnetic in nature, and as such, are "transitional"
(i.e., they precipitate change), especially to living things.) Electrons interact
to produce photons. Thus, the harmony of the atom and the "be-everywhere-
orbit" of the electron are a part of the life force. Photons make life possible!

The nucleus of the atom is "independent" of (i.e., evades) gravity. That is,
the state of "near perfection" allows it to conserve energy and maintain its
"uncertainty." Pauli's discovery is that electrons selectively fit into orbits,
and resist getting any closer to the nucleus, and Heisenberg's work implies,
the orbit of the electron is "pure" (i.e., has infinite properties); if the orbit is
violated, the "particle" (i.e., an atom) will become something else (i.e., its
properties will change, and it will lose or gain dimensionality)!

 Einstein's motion/density/time relationship and "Pauli's exclusion" hold
the key! The secret is in the orbit of the electron (i.e., as being typical of
coalescence and the structure of the atom). The electron, as part of the atom,
is the "time keeper," and it is limited to and by the capacity for infinite density.
As density increases, a natural consequence of large-scale coalescence, the
speed of particles within the atom declines and time slows--"transition"
becomes infinite (i.e., ceases)!

 The paradox: The atom facilitates (i.e., limits) "transition" by resisting
(instantaneous) change. "Transition" derives from the atom's state of "near
perfection." Measuring the life of the proton as a finite function of entropy
seems a flawed notion, because the end of the proton also marks the end
of time, and because equilibrium (i.e., true perfection), "a place" where no
time passes, is a paradox (i.e., a virtual, or lesser, infinity). (Time, "a lack
of spontaneity," fits the proton like a glove. Thus, the proton, like the
universe, is essentially timeless, and has virtually infinite properties.)

 Time stops when particles stop! Which comes first? Which derives from
which? Time derives from space, because space is less dense than anything
else. And space is less dense (i.e., exists), because the atom resists change
(i.e., is "implacable"). "'Transition,' then, is infinity trying to close space,
opposed only by the forces of conservation." (The atom keeps space and
time open, while the relentless effort of infinity to exclude matter compels
change and "transition." The relationship of motion to density, versus the
dimensionality of space determines the measure of time (i.e., linearity).
With regard to time, infinity is a "compelling force" and paradisis is a
"resisting force." Without conservation, time is instantaneous, and everything
happens at once! Without matter, space and time are without dimension!
Paradisis, visits quantum effects on relativistic space! "With the electron,
whirling aimlessly onward, Matter "burrows" through time")

   (Return to the "guide" for this section)   (paradisis)  (Pauli's exclusion)

"Multiple singularity" is the mechanism by which the universe sustains
itself, seemingly, never to end in "one thing!" And "inflation" is how creation
is renewed (i.e., in a "wave of conversion"), bringing an initial uniformity, while
"uncertainty" and infinity guarantee the opportunity for chaos and diversity!
(Einstein often took council with others of his time. If someone in his
confidence, possibly Carl Jung or George Lamaitré, had suggested the
universe is "boundless," rather than infinite, Einstein might have gone on to
conclude it all had to end in paradox--i.e., "singularity!" Quantum mechanic,
Niels Bohr, another of Einstein's confidants, would probably not have said
as much.) (Einstein explained gravity in spatial and geometric terms. At the
time, it would not have been reasonable to consider the space the universe
is in as non-dimensional. Everyone seemed to be saying infinity was more,
when it was actually less!)

  ("multiple singularity" from here to the end)

 Einstein was close to explaining everything, and since his time everyone
has scrambled to catch up. Einstein once said, "it is amazing that we
understand anything!" We would understand far less if it were not for him!
(The rules of mathematics do not allow for paradox: Referring to a "no
boundary condition" does not mean the universe is of unimaginable
dimension or that it is expanding! It means the universe is a "singularity,"
and it fits into non-dimensional space. ("If it is ever "singular," it is always
"singular!") Infinity pushes against matter, trying to squeeze out dimensionality,
and restore the purity (i.e., nothingness) of non-space. "The universe is a
battle ground where dimensionality confronts nothingness!")

 (Return to the "guide" for this section)   (uncertainty principle)

Dirac fills the ground between Einstein and Hawking. Part of the answer is
in how time is perceived. What Dirac and Hawking seem to say, when taken
together, is that the universe is "transitional," and "transition" is boundless.
However, the universe, by itself, is not boundless...it is a paradox, and gravity
is the absence of force! "Transition" is the "color" and "texture" that matter
imparts to space, and it makes "boundlessness" and "time" work. Time is space
in transition, a result of the conflict between infinity and matter! Time is what
happens when conservation is imperfect and space is three-dimensional.
(The question: Why is there a dipole, and what is its source? Einstein once
said, "god does not play dice," but it appears that is, in effect, exactly what he
did, and he did it (i.e., tossed the dice) until a working combination came up!)

  (Return to the "guide" for this section)  (Dirac)

 Putting infinity in its place, so to speak, allowed this project to move forward,
but chaos had to be brought back to a single point, and it would not be done
in a "straight line," as suggested in an earlier section, at least not as long as the
universe retained its dimensionality. There had to be a maelstrom of bumps and
jerks, at least, from our point of view, while, from the "outside," it would have
seemed order and perfection were being restored. ("Infinity compels variation
and chaos to regroup, again and again, in an attempt to squeeze matter out of
existence!" "Conservation and coalescence, on the small-scale, resist propagation
and coalescence, on the large-scale!" This is explained here in several ways,
because part of the premise is that taking different points of view will reveal the
truth.)

 Extinction is prevented by the dipole, even though its resolve may never be
tested. The clue is in the double helix--and the leap of faith is that "everything
in the set (outside of the atom) is a model of every other thing." There is a
dipole, because everything else fell out, or was obliterated, and the unique
feature is that everything within the set follows the model! (Every sub-atomic
particle, every seed, every leaf, every living thing has a counterpart or is made
in two parts, each a mirror image of the other. The change imparted by
angular momentum is the stuff of "transition," and it provides for the evolution
of all that is and ever will be! Earlier, I said, "the universe is like a seed."
That turns out to be more truth than poetry...and we are created in its image!)

All matter will eventually be compressed into regional "singularities," each
one beginning as a black hole, and each one reaching critical density, in its turn,
before everything can converge on a single point and form "one thing." Thus,
the cycle begins again, never having reached its finality. My first guess was
that infinity guaranteed the universe would come back to a single point, but it
appears that multiple reactions will occur, each altering the fabric of time and
delaying the inevitable. The wave from each new beginning will permeate the
compartments formed by those before--"diffraction evens the field." "Inflation"
is formative, but "diffraction" puts an edge on evolution! Each compartment
will have its own background radiation, and the force of expansion in that area
will eventually overlap and override the background radiation from older areas.
(The region in space known as "the great attractor" may be the site of the next
"singularity" to go critical and "bloom.")

 Several years before undertaking this project, I characterized the universe as
always being singular, but I knew nothing of how it worked or that I would come
up with a working definition for infinity. Later, I considered the possibility of
numerous, "lesser singularities" forming over many billions of years, but that
seemed unlikely! (When I first thought of it, I put it on hold, still insisting that
probability and infinity guarantee the inevitability of "true singularity." The
endless quest for "singularity" is the persistence that unifies the field, in terms
of behavior.)

  In theory, ultimately, everything will come back to "one thing," i.e., the universe is
always a "singularity," and because "infinity tries all the combinations," "multiple
singularities" (a misnomer) can form in "compartments," one after the other, and/
or overlapping, and there can be an almost infinite number of repetitions (i.e.,
whatever it takes) leading to "success," i.e., "true singularity," and a "big bang."

(Divergence: In a bounded universe, attaining a static state will stop time
and prevent gravity from forming. Particles will disperse evenly, and pressure will
be the same everywhere. In our universe, this can never happen, because variation
leads to conservation and "multiple singularity." Convergence: Infinity assails
"normal space," and conservation resists randomness. Convergence opposes
divergence. Convergence is the "shape" of non-force. Divergence, i.e., true-force,
prepares the way for chaos and diversity. "Singularity" is the end of "transition,"
and divergence provides an opportunity for a new beginning! The dipole is
never tested: Expansion leads to chaos and "compartmentalization," while
"diffraction" varies (i.e., commingles) the field.)

  (diffraction--more)

  (Return to the "guide" for this section)   (divergence)

 A repeat performance of "true singularity" seems very unlikely (if there
ever could have been such a thing), and the concept of "multiple singularity"
requires an additional description of infinity: "'Normal space' is curved, while
infinite space (i.e., infinity) is flat and timeless!"

 We see everything in "snapshots"--what it was and what it is, nothing in
between. We cannot see "transition," because it is a part of us. This is the
limitation of flesh and blood that denies us access to the truth. We only
know of time's passing, and can barely cope with that. Time defies every
effort to separate it from our consciousness. "It is not ours to hold at arm's
length and study, like a piece of agate. We are at odds with it, but it is all
we have, both jailer and guardian."

 As a freshman in college, I suggested to my chemistry professor that gravity
was the net difference between the force of the electron and the force of the
proton. Whatever was left over when they "paired" was the force that attracted
other atoms. (He laughed!) I had it backwards: I mistook the alliance of forces,
the implacable harmony that prevents spontaneous collapse, for the imperfect
dimensionality that must shrink when the propelling force that began in
the "shape" of "inflation" varies, or lessens. Gravity is a quest to release the
energy of the atom, and return the universe to its simplest and earliest form.

(A "field effect:" Because "lesser singularities" form in "normal" (i.e.,
curved) space, they spin. This means that as more matter accumulates,
there will be a conversion of some of it to radiation, appearing at right
angles to the frame of reference. This seems to make "multiple singularity"
(i.e., "lesser singularity") more complex and dysfunctional (i.e., "centered:"
more "angular" and prone to spin) than "true singularity." Because "lesser
singularity" occurs in normal space, it is "finite" and has spin. "True singularity"
would collapse along a line in non space, and could not spin; however, if
the "'numbers' come up" and "lesser singularities" fall along a line, in
something like a chain reaction, paradox will be "broken," and time will
begin again, on the grand scale!)

Space and Time
 In A Brief History of Time, Stephen Hawking points out that a two-
dimensional universe is not dynamic enough for the development of life
forms. If, by some means, humankind were brought into a space with only
two dimensions, goal striving and curiosity could not exist. With length
and width, but no height, it would not be possible to see the road ahead
(i.e., living things could not evolve)! The light that draws us to the force
that holds us is beyond the horizon when reality is projected in two
dimensions. (Time never passes in two-dimensional space--the third
dimension ushers in the fourth!)

 The secret to understanding the universe as a whole is in realizing the forces
within the atom are resistant to, but ultimately subject to, the forces of expansion
and contraction. The quantum set formed by each atom is strong enough to
adapt and remain intact while the effects of gravity and relativity forge the
dimensionality of the world outside.

  (Return to the "guide" for this section)   (space and time)
 

Convergence
 A curious thing: Why do we search the "wild" for disease fighting
compounds? (1) What choices have we? It is part of our nature to look
for a "silver bullet!" (2) If living things are a product of their environment,
resistance to negative forces is necessary to become insular and self
sustaining. Darwin taught us that with living things, "aligning forces"
group together (i.e., converge) in opposition to divergent forces (disorder
and entropy). Evolution and natural selection reduces down to strength
against weakness (i.e., living things are an island of immunity). Natural
selection is a circle closing on itself, in an attempt to form an essence.
Convergence, another word for large-scale coalescence, characterized as
gravity, the absence of force, forms in the rifts left in the wake of expansion.
(A cynic might say, "existence is something trying to become nothing!")

"Compartmentalization," a.k.a., "Multiple singularity," is the pattern of
contraction and renewal, and "diffraction" is the pattern of divergence
and diversity, which brings variation and evolution. Convergence is the
pattern of inevitability that brings change and causes life to form. Entropy
is the result of the struggle between conservation and convergence
(i.e., equilibrium and collapse). This conflict sews the seeds of variation.

"A Field of Dreams:" An Isostatic Field
In 1929, Edwin Hubble found evidence that the universe was expanding,
and Einstein said, factoring in a constant to allow for a static universe was
the biggest mistake of his life. (However, "multiple singularity" suggests
the spirit of Einstein's original reasoning was not far from the truth. But
again, there was not enough information to go further--either way, the
universe could not end in paradox!)

 If some cyclic event prevented the universe from collapsing, the calm
periods might provide an opportunity for life to appear! (Like most new
ideas, the concept of "multiple singularity" answers some questions but
leaves others unsolved.) If "multiple singularity" is valid, the universe will
never "close" and become "one thing." It may have been "one" at the
beginning, but it can never be "one" again--"symmetry" cannot ultimately
prevail, and the universe cannot fit into a scale model!

 With "multiple singularity" in mind, I wondered if there were a way the
universe could be characterized at a specific moment in time? A phrase
that formed a mental picture would be sufficient--something that would
encompass all of nature. The universe could never actually be in that state,
but if time were reduced, with each compartment starting, or restarting, at
time "0," what would it look like?

 It is unlikely, the dipole will ever be tested, but something more than just
conservation and being a dipole must be happening to keep the universe
from collapsing and falling out of existence. If eternity were little more than
an instant, and each "singularity" were at its birth, the universe might look
like a three-dimensional billiard table, loosely populated with cue ball-like
spheres of primal matter. (This characterization was inspired by a broadcast
on public television.)

 In Stephen Hawking's Universe, a six-part documentary, first presented
on PBS in 1997, Ed Witten, a respected astrophysicist, was queried on the
subject of cosmic evolution. The cameras were setup, and he was standing,
in a dry river bed. A few days after the series conclusion, I was working in
my garden and recalled the image of Witten standing there amidst hundreds
of smoothly polished and rounded rocks, all about the same size and shape.
It occurred to me that the stones in the river bed (like a billiard table full
of que balls), formed a model of the universe, representing "inflation" and
"multiple singularity," if many "singularities" formed and began to expand
all at the same instant.

 Of course, "defining events" do not all happen at the same time, but if they
did, all the energy of the universe, being released simultaneously and uniformly,
would be so disruptive and so counter to the diversity that allows evolution
to proceed that it would prevent, rather than enable, the development of living
things. However fanciful, this analogy characterizes matter and energy, force
and non-force, birth and rebirth in one frame!

 The universe is not just a "singularity," like a balloon expanding to its limits,
only to collapse back on itself, restarting the cycle when critical mass/density
is reached. The universe is much more sophisticated than that...but can we
ever know how it found its beginning? (The "non-dimensional" explanation
for the absence of a center to the universe, although providing a clear and
uncluttered setting for the beginning of time, becomes obscured by "multiple
singularity" and the effects of "diffraction." The universe is not either expanding
or contracting...it is always doing both!)

  If everything in this part of the universe is moving toward the "great attractor,"
and yet we perceive that distant galaxies are moving away from the source faster
than we are, then what we perceive as expansion is actually positive and negative
flux ("isostasis"). The "great attractor" is a point of more negative flux, and we are
moving toward it faster than are those objects which appear to be moving away
from the source and away from our "last known location," at an increasing rate,
and faster than we are. (added 8-10-05)

Time and Dimensionality
 Time is a "duality!" Motion relates to matter/time, and curvature relates to
space-time. Matter-time derives from quantum coalescence (conservation),
and space/time derives from mass/density. Matter-time is entropic (i.e.,
coalescence/conservation corresponds to entropy), and space-time is
modular (mass-density corresponds to "modularity"). Entropy is to
"modularity" as conservation is to change, and as dimensionality is to
infinity. "Conflict/randomness" (i.e., transaction) is the stuff of evolution
on the grand scale. The offspring of "multiple singularity" (i.e.,
"compartmentalization") and "duality," "diffraction" and chaos, keep
the universe from becoming "one thing." ("Modularity," space-time is not
dependent on what is happening within the atom, but it is dependent on
what the atom does to the space it is in--ergo mass-density and space-time
are relativistic (i.e., without a set), and "modularity" goes to (i.e., is the stuff
of) "compartmentalization.")

Conservation is a "closed set" (i.e., for all intents and purposes does not lose
or gain energy): Space only has dimension when there is matter in the space
("matter tells space how to curve"), and randomness is what happens outside
of the realm of conservation. It follows that infinity is what is left after
conservation, dimensionality and mass/density are lost.

 Failure and persistence is the stuff of "transition" and existence. The
answer to the question, "how did the universe come to be as it is," lies in
understanding the "territory" between matter and energy--"resonance" and the
pursuit of infinite density. The answer: The universe is what happens when a
dipole takes on the qualities of exclusion and resonant action. Without "resonance,"
matter/energy would find perfection, and the dipole would be tested. The question,
"what is its source" remains unanswered! (In the absence of all force, the universe
can only do one thing--contract. There is no where else to go, but entropy and
chaos will continue! re. S. Hawking)

To learn the truth and gain a better understanding, we look for an answer
that takes it all in at once. What rule offers "one answer?" "Non-force compels
the numbers"--("In time" the absence of force tries all the combinations, and
"in space," gravity induces spin.)--"singularity," and "angularity," in their turn,
are the absence of anything else, and "resonance" (limiting velocity) impedes
changes in dimensionality! Quantum sets, those regulated by dipole mechanics,
and entropic sets (a contradiction in terms), those affected (i.e., "compelled")
by non-space and non-force, coexist, but at different levels in the hierarchy of
"singularity."

A Reflection Pool
 Some have suggested that the most distant objects, yet seen, are at the edge
of the universe. If the universe is a continuum, the curvature of space and time
might allow us to look back at the beginning, and see ourselves looking forward
(i.e., the inversion of time and space closes the set). If this were so, there would
only be one "singularity," and the images at the edge would merely be various
reflections of the one. However, it is more likely that one "singularity" evolved
into many, each in its turn, and as a consequence, we can no longer see evidence
of the beginning--"the expansion of more recently formed compartments obliterated
the signs of earlier ones." The universe could then be much older than current
measurements indicate, with the effects of "diffraction" and "multiple singularity"
resetting the clock every 15 or 20 billion years. ("Multiple singularity" would
seem not to allow the "Big Bang" to repeat itself, even with the potential for an
infinite number of attempts.) (Diffraction is like an eraser moving along after the
course of time!)

   (Return to the "guide" for this section)   (diffraction)

 We may never know what happened before the "Big Bang," and with the
probability of "multiple singularity," and all that it implies, finding an explanation
based on there having been a truly singular event, from which all things came,
seems out of reach. Further, for the "Big Bang" to repeat itself, there must occur
a sequence of events, whereby, random expansions and contractions, in all regions
of space, avoid any combination leading to a "lesser singularity," thus holding off
until the entirety of the universe is ready to collapse simultaneously into a single
point. (From our right-handed, inside-out perspective, the universe appears left-
handed, and because life evolves in opposition to the environment, aggression
and problem solving reside on the left side of the brain, which converts to action
on the right side of the body--we are a mirror image of the source.)
 

Matter Seeks "Singularity," and "Singularity" Yields "Symmetry"
 Space and matter merge to produce time and form a "bubble" in eternity.
This "abates" infinity--chaos on the outside, with complex structures on
the inside. "Pauli's exclusion" resolves into mathematical probabilities,
and existence is not what it seems to be. The neutron, an "ovum," is a
predictable consequence of seeking equilibrium. Any notion that "breaking
symmetry" is final would be too simplistic! Consider that "symmetry" is
concealed as structure evolves! The inner world of the atom is ruled by
electrical effects (i.e., "the dipole finds security in the numbers"), and the
outer world of time and space is ruled by force and non-force (density and
"singularity" enable and shrink probability). Both realities (i.e., inner and
outer) are manifestations of the "bubble," cleaving to it indivisibly, not
unlike its corporeal children, those creatures born in, and bound to, the
fourth dimension, yet still unable to perceive the source. (Subatomic
structures are electromagnetic in nature, and they come into being in
the throes of expansion. Eventually, non-force restores "symmetry" in a
cataclysmic collapse--conservation ends and expansion begins again.)

Evolution and Probability
 Diversity and randomness try all the possibilities! Evolution, disciplined by
gravity and the will to live, seeks the finest point, riding the wave of solar
progression, in the midst of lunar tides, plate tectonics and asymmetric
angulation. These things can only find existence in the turmoil of a changing
universe, and it is the coming together of remarkable geologic and seasonal
variations that makes the ascent of sophisticated beings possible. The window
of probability is extremely small, and the likelihood of uniqueness, in this
period of time, even with billions of stars and planets, is very high. We may
be one of barely more than a few, or we may be very nearly alone! (Bloom 256)

An Addendum:
Part 1: "Conversion"

1-29-06 through 2-20-06 (updated/revisited 11-18-06 through 12-13-06):

  In 1997, I was wondering how there could be a "big bang," and what would
replace it, and it came to me that there was no singular "big bang," just a lot of
"bumping and grinding!"Like a self fulfilling prophesy, the universe reinvents
itself, in the local area, at the moment of "lesser singularity" (with a growing,
but inaudible, roar). Matter falls into the event horizon, as collapse quickens
and becomes "super hard" (a paradox: infinity is exceeded), forming a "new
universe," within the greater mass, as time is reset to zero.

  As the path between lesser and greater infinities forms, and where the extended
and far reaching surrounding space has reached critical mass (i.e., less than 3
atoms per cubic meter), at the "moment of conversion," there is a "4 into 3
dimensional avalanche"--as time halts and more matter accumulates than there
is space for, hence "inflation" occurs. The turbulence spreads to the background
(i.e., "expansion" occurs), and eons later, it seems time had just begun--while the
truth is, it only halted for a nanosecond when "conversion" took place.

  (The minimalist view does not take into account that this event has happened
over and over, that each new "lesser singularity" simply resets the clock (in and
for an instant), one more time, for another 20 or 30 billion years. (What happens
when all the matter in a "compartment" is swept up..."conversion" happens, and
everything is "new" again.) The label "Multiple," or "lesser, singularity" is a
misnomer, and while it is correct, "compartmentalization" doesn't focus on the
crucial event, it merely draws the stage. "Conversion" describes the paradigm,
and the algorithm by which the thing works...and it seems more scientific, but
"the lesser bang," or "the not so big bang," or renewal, or "genesis" may be
more favored by the media. (The cycle of existence that we are part of is about
at the mid point, time wise.)
 

Addendum
Part 2
Multiple singularity" is a hint as to the answer ("The tip of creation"), but it
is also a misnomer. I considered "compartmentalization" a few months before
I heard of, but some time after, Lindé mentioned "multiple universes," on
"Stephen Hawking's Universe" (part 6--spring 1998), and anyone who was
onto it, had to be uncomfortable with the name, and knew the event would
eventually have to be renamed, something more appropriate (there can only
be one "true singularity," and "compartmentalization" seems the right name
for the process leading to the event). If a theory embraces "inflation" and the
7 cm line, sets aside the "big bang," explains the rightness of Einstein's
supposed "mistake," would be likeable to John Wheeler, explains (identifies
the event) as to how and why time and expansion began (again and again),
without any big fuss, would that meet the test."

  "Conversion theory," and "multiple singularity," suggests Einstein was right
all along. (The universe is not expanding, it is in flux--isostatic, but if Einstein
was right, then his mistake was in deciding otherwise.) It just could not be
demonstrated or imagined that he was right given what was known, or could
be demonstrated, at the time. I believe he was factoring in the whole, not the
greater universe. That is, he imagined what it must look like from the outside-in.
That would derive from realizing the universe is always "singular." That might
have been what he intended all along, without knowing there was "a 'universe'
within a universe"--how could even Einstein know that? He saw the "larger
universe," not the "lesser singularity," and must have concluded that infinity
preempted expansion). Hubble's measurements and conclusions as to the red
shift, in the local region, our tiny little bit of cosmic landscape, caused a premature
determination that there was no "stasis" at any level--no level that was known
of anyway! La Maitre encouraged Einstein to reconsider "stasis" as not being
a possibility, and he did, and that was "the mistake.") (Something instinctive,
says the universe is really 80 billion years old (about 3 or 4 TD cycles), but
who or what was here the day before?) When I first realized the universe was
done in "compartments" ("time domains"--TD), it occurred to me that Einstein
was right, and Hubble and others were just "near sighted," contrary to the initial
performance of "the famed telescope."

  Everything must be rethought, with "multiple singularity" in mind--Everything
changes, when it is apparent that "compartments" form and restart the processes
of "conservation" and "coalescence," every 20 or 30 billion years.

  Conclusions: The body mimics the universe with its own "internal spin"...in the
double helix. Life could not evolve without the compatibility and adaptability that
spin provides. When in the "primordial ooze," simple carbon molecules find a
combination and a path that works--living things form.

Addendum
Part 3
  None of this accounted for the "big bang," or "the big whatever it was," and
for all these years there was no reasonable explanation, but it finally came to me
in the last few weeks of January and early February 2008 that if two super massive
blackholes (i.e., super galaxies) formed over billions of years, and were  attracted
(inevitably) to each other, they would eventually come together and collide at nearly
light speed, providing the force needed to scatter unformed matter to the "far reaches"
(a.k.a., "the  big collision"). It was iroinic that "the piece" was named for a collision,
more metaphor than an actual description. Now I had to go back and fix each section
with that in mind.
