The Gravity Crusades

page 30-31 from Everything IS, a visual and philosophical theory of everything

Are we in a place in history comparable to the times of Copernicus and Galileo? In their respective times and places, the Earth with humans ruling it was at the center of Everything and larger than Everything Else. We are now used to the idea that we are ruling a small planet in a large galaxy in a universe of galaxies. However, we still think our configuration is the center of intelligent life. Out of all the multitude of groupings of matter that we know exist between the subatomic and the cosmic, between the small and the large, our size is the only presumed place where intelligent life could evolve?

If there are these infinite groupings—the gravity groupings—then there has been time for intelligent groupings to evolve on infinite levels along the perspective horizon between the infinities of sub-sub-sub-atomic and the infinities of universes.

Are we ready for a new paradigm in science where humanity’s role is not elevated above the rest of the universe (infinite universes?), but is smack in the middle of its infinite infinities, just like Everything Else?

Cosmic Nipple in the Corner of My Bedroom

This is the original Cosmic Nipple…the one that I painted on the ceiling in the corner of my bedroom. The interesting part about this is that it was painted before I started writing my theories…though I was already thinking of them, so maybe it isn’t so odd. It seems to represent the multi dimensional grid that warps this way and that, depending on one’s position on the perspective horizon.

I have also created many checker boards that are warped and abstracted from the original grid in much this same way. It could be argued that the game of checkers is an abstracted version of war or conquest. The terrain of a real war is much more complex and has been abstracted to a board game. I am now taking that simplified abstraction and creating something more abstract and more complex. A wave of reality turning into a wave of abstraction turning into a wave of reality turning into a wave of abstraction.

abstract image representing microscopic molecular highways and highways from space, from Everything IS, a visual and philosophical theory of everything

Molecular Highways

page 26-27 from Everything IS, a visual and philosophical theory of everything

The smaller we look, the more mechanical the process is bound to appear because the details are washed out. A highway from a certain distance in space disappears, as we zoom closer it looks like a line, then it begins to take on width and direction, then height, then personality and diversity.

A family is close from the first generation to second to third, but from the fourth generation, the distance expands quickly. After 100 generations all detail of the early generations is smudged into a pattern—part of the mass migration of Angles or Saxons or Celtic peoples or Huns or Goths or, as we zoom further out in space-time, mammals or air breathers or carbon-based units.

We speak of family dynamics and corporate personalities—maybe they really are independent entities, but much too coarse grained from our perspective to be readily identified as such—the forest and the trees!

Are nuclear forces akin to family ties, hometown pride, patriotism, religious fervor, i.e. are they the gravity/grouping thing on a subatomic perspective? Do our methods of studying subatomic particles by smashing them together in particle accelerators cause some type of political upheaval that creates tremendous energy?

The Perspective Horizon

page 12-13 from Everything IS, a visual and philosophical theory of everything

I call these infinite perspectives the perspective horizon. We all sit in a different position on this perspective horizon and are only able to see those entities that are within our own specific range. This perspective horizon extends infinitely in all directions.What is the fundamental, underlying principle of a tapestry? Are the micro-fibers more important than the overall pattern of the tapestry? Are both absolutely fundamentally equal from their individual places on the perspective horizon? The pattern can be used on different mediums; the medium of the tapestry can be used for different patterns. Can we imagine an entity for which the medium is critical but the pattern is invisible…a blind person? Can we imagine the opposite?

Even if we allow the vibrating strings of String Theory [Note: According to String Theory, protons and neutrons are made of quarks under which sit vibrating strings of varying, possibly infinite, frequencies in ten dimensions (nine spatial plus time), maybe creating a waveparticle duality between the quark and the string. Electrons, photons and other subatomic particles would also be strings. The grouping of these wave loops would lie at the bottom of Everything according to this theory.] to be the smallest unit of sentience, rather than just as small as we can currently theorize, that unit doesn’t necessarily describe the whole any better than any other point on the perspective horizon, as the perspective horizon remains infinite. All points (of view?) on it are exactly in the middle as each point would be surrounded by infinities.

Does every person, place, thing, political point of view, religion, or other ideology, work choice, reading choice, past time choice, fashion choice, relationship choice carry its own validity from its own particular unique place on the perspective horizon? Maybe no place on this perspective horizon is any more special than any other place on this perspective horizon. Maybe nothing is more fundamental than anything else. Could the study of food or dance or ants or cells all show us patterns that help us understand the totality of our universe every bit as well as the study of fundamental particles or of the cosmos?
