One theory – The universe is a bubble, one bubble among many, like soapsuds. Not all of them have life, not all of them have the same rules we do. We can’t know. We have consciousness, which is to say, we are aware of ourselves. But that’s really about ALL we’re aware of. We have ideas about the universe, but we’re just as likely wrong as right.

We could be one of the successful universes, but it’s equally as likely that “life” is nothing but a fungal infection in the universe, screwing with the natural harmony that is the universe, which seems to go on despite our little infestation.

I read it somewhere that “Life is the universe becoming conscious of itself.” If that’s the case the universe itself is nothing but an organism in it’s infancy. Like a baby, at first it’s all sensations, then comes instinct, then conscious thought. Our real makeup is curiosity, survival, joy, happiness, pain, life, and death. All rolled into one.

We can never know, nor are we supposed to. Religion tries to offer answers, but Religion is nothing but a primitive mind trying to grasp something that it’s just not wired for. Like an amoebas grasp of quantum mechanics. We don’t know how it works because we’re quite simply not capable of it at this stage in our evolution. Science is no better, every theory is just that, a theory, which holds up until an empirical test proves otherwise, and so far, precious few physical theories withstand even decades, let alone millenia.

The world was flat, then we realized it was round. The sun orbited the earth until we noted that it was in fact vice versa. Gravity was an “attraction” until we realized that gravity was simply the movement of an object along the curve of space.

We were the center of the universe until we realized we actually inhabit a remote arm, in a remote galaxy, near the end of the known universe.

If we don’t kill ourselves first, we might get a glimmer of the hope of the beginnings of an idea of what the universe really is.

In another 60 million years. Maybe. If we ask nicely.

I won’t hold my breath.

Isaac Newton was a genius.  That’s undisputed.  He was also wrong.

It’s  important to note that while Newton was on the right track with gravity, his logic was fundamentally flawed and as a result his theory and understanding were 100% wrong.

The flaw in newtonian physics lies in assuming that objects are attracted to each other, while in truth the fact of the matter is that matter bends space itself, the appearance of gravity is nothing but smaller objects moving within space that is bent by larger ones.

Imagine a trampoline with a bowling ball in the center of it.  The trampoline represents space, the bowling ball represents, for the sake of argument, the sun.

Roll a tennis ball around the bowling ball and you get a 2D approximation of why/how orbital mechanics works.  The bowling ball isn’t pulling the tennis ball into a semi-round orbit, but the surface the tennis ball is travelling on is curved, so the ball moves with the curve.

Matter tells space how to bend, space tells matter how to move.

Next week I’ll explain time.
