Cycle in the universe
Universe Grand Design
The universe as big cycle
From Einstein's
physics
to consciousness and
the Universe Grand Design.
Cornel Slenters
Without question
Einstein's most famous equation is E=Mc2.
In philosophical terms it suggests that energy
originates from matter. Associated images are
nuclear power plants, nuclear bombs etc. As an
illustration that it is firmly embedded in our
minds, just enter E=Mc2 as a search
word in your favorite search engine and watch the
hit counter. Google gave me approximately 65'000
hits.
Einstein's theory of
relativity is a linear theory and it is perfectly
correct to express the relationship between mass and
energy in the reverse order, thus M=E/c2.
In philosophical terms, this form would suggest that
matter might originate from energy. Does it make
sense? It certainly looks unfamiliar and a quick test
with a search engine for M=E/c2 will
confirm this, with a mere 500 hits.
On this website I will reason the
benefits of looking at the second interpretation more
closely because it can lead to a wide range of
benefits, for individuals and society. Some examples
of benefits already visible or clearly within reach:
- The universe has meaning and it becomes easy to see.
- Our lives have meaning and it is easier to relate to our deeper driving forces.
- New energy sources can be tapped, because 'energy' is better understood.
- The mind body relationship is better understood; potential for new therapies.
- We can tap new sources of creativity; for conflict resolution and wealth creation.
- We can tap our individual potentials more and enjoy the journey more.
- There is a better fit with many of the contemporary scientific discoveries.
The cycle
The nature of the
universe can be viewed as a giant cycle. This idea is
not new and appears in ancient texts, legends,
oriental philosophies, such as in Vedic concepts.
However, when we reason
from the common notion that energy originates from
matter, thus E=Mc2, there is no cycle.
Instead we have to resort to questionable ideas like
'big bang' in order to compensate for some very
fundamental gaps in our understanding. Moreover, our
understanding of physical reality continues to be on a
loose footing since fundamentals like gravity, energy
and time are still poorly understood.
Now, if we reverse the order, thus M=E/c2, suggesting that matter originates from energy, we are in for some very pleasant surprises:
- The universe does appear as a giant cycle.
- The 'big bang' is no longer needed.
- The word energy takes on a richer meaning.
The major phases in the cycle
The diagram on the left illustrates the major phases in the cycle:The Great Scaling Pattern
The Great Scaling
Pattern is a universal pattern of interactions, of
constant renewal, seemingly fundamental to all our
experiences. Once we know it, we can recognize it
with ease in a wide range of phenomena, such as
the formation of stars and galaxies, the structure
of our brain, cell structures, geographic maps,
interpersonal relations, structures in society
etc.
Consciousness
The nature of the
Great Scaling Pattern leads to a uniqueness of every
'identity' in the universe. The dynamic nature of
the universe acts as an agent of change on the
'identity', yet the 'identity' wants to preserve its
identity. These two forces create an imbalance. The
mediating force between these two forces is called
consciousness. This form of consciousness is
therefore present in all aspects of the universe and
our experiences, physical as well as non-physical.
We use the term
'identity' to illustrate the dynamics of
consciousness. The actual nature of 'identities' are
looping interaction patterns, physical and
non-physical.
Directed energy
The nature of this
consciousness is such that it channels energy directed
at mediating the imbalances, physical and
non-physical. It is argued that this energy drives our
actual universe. We have thus closed the cycle.
Example
In order to get a feel
for what consciousness means in every day live,
please reflect for a moment on your own thoughts
after reading the above paragraphs:
These concepts are
possibly new for you. You have big mental investments
in trying to make sense of the world, in terms of your
education, personal experiences, your logical
reasoning. This is one aspect of your identity and it
wants to preserve what it has (resist change). If
external events come your way that would force you to
reinterpret your past experiences, we start to see a
mediating force between a drive towards stability (the
aspect of your identity) and a drive for adaptation.
This is the notion of consciousness related to this
situation, resulting in thoughts, decisions, actions.
All of these are directed energy. If all of this
leaves you 100% cold and you go your own sweet ways as
before, there is no energy released towards a new
order of understanding and organization.
Expanding universe
This Great Scaling
Pattern leads to identity in its myriad forms, which
leads to consciousness in its myriad forms, which
leads to directed energy, which leads to the Great
Scaling Pattern, and so on ... in ever expanding
cycles. Thus, we are looking at an expanding universe,
but for a different reason.
Back to M=E/c2, how is matter generated?
There is a notion among
a number of leading scientists that most energy is not
materialized in matter, called background energy. We
can therefore picture a non-local high energy field
which is generated by consciousness from all aspects
and identities in the universe. How is matter
generated? It is localized energy resulting from fast
spinning loops in a non-local high energy field,
causing collapse of the wave function, giving us M=E/c2.
