as today seems to be the day for trying to understand without
any purpose, here are more reflections…
The question of infinity and finite… leads us to this…
atoms are infinite as matter/energy is infinite
but the material made out of atoms like humans and the earth
and chairs are finite… but the atoms that make up humans and
the earth and chairs will continue on…
so some day the earth will disintegrate into indivdual atoms…
the earth will end but the atoms that made up the earth will go
on and someday will create another earth because of gravity…
so even atoms must follow the equation idea…
they disintegrate but they don’t disintegrate…
the equation of atoms will continue on…
E=mc2…energy = matter…
as we work out the connections we can begin to see
how we can avoid the prior expressions of religious secularism…
secularism which is hiding in its language and format
religious thought… we can avoid that if we
understand what we are doing, using religious language to
describe secular actions and events and idea’s…
we must become aware of the very language we are using
in regards to how we describe our “modern” era………
we can avoid using religious language if we take out the subjectivity
of the world……… the goal in life is to be happy……….
if we understand that life is finite as in a dog or a human is finite,
but life itself as atoms is infinite…………so happiness no longer
becomes some goal to be reached…… it doesn’t matter to atoms
or a finite life if the form that atoms take is happy or not… the individual
atoms don’t care if you are happy… they will continue on long after
the body you exist in as a collection of atoms, dies………
those atoms that make up your body will go on in some other fashion,
as matter or as energy and those atoms will continue to bounce
back and forth as matter/mass and energy…… energy will continue to
convert into matter/mass and matter/mass will continue to convert into
energy… that is the true dance of existence…you are just a temporary
form of matter which was before matter/energy and afterwards will return to
matter/energy depending…….
that is a truth……… happiness doesn’t fit into this understanding of
the universe……………. so we have an equation E=MC2…
the question becomes how do we fit into this equation?
it is no longer enough to try to understand how we fit into
this temporary religious/political situation we might find ourselves in,
but we must fit ourselves into the bigger picture, one of the Kropotkin’s
questions, on what will we spend our energy on?
the question of E=mc2 means we must address ourselves to that
question instead of the other questions that we might believe to be
important………. so the basis of our understanding, of our current existence
begins with the equation of E=mc2…… that is the beginning of our understanding
of the universe……… that is ground zero of who we are and what are our possibilities…
we must begin there in any philosophical understanding of our place in the
universe……….E=Mc2…………and in doing so, we remove the religious/ subjective
understanding of the universe…………humans are simply matter/energy creatures
and convert from one to another over time…… I take in food and convert that
food into energy and then release that food as matter…… it is all the same
in the human body… energy = matter… so we must begin there in understanding
who we are and what are our possibilities…
