Everything
I have come to some
Of the following conclusions,
Although I am not sure
Of all the mechanics behind.
1.
Space seems to have physical properties,
Although not those
That we might tend to call “material”,
Space thus being filled
With material mass-energy.
Or,
Perhaps there is only space
And curved space
(Gravity and the material mass-energy).
Perhaps it is that this wholeness
Is the simplest level of all, and thus,
It must be perfectly unstable,
In that it must ever give rise
To particle-antiparticle pairs,
A kind of balance of space or Nothing.
2.
All is necessarily infinite.
(An All must be unbounded)
3.
The scale of size seems to be absolute.
We can establish a definite ordering
To the sizes of entities.
4.
Perhaps the finite “here”
Can only exist
At the center of the
Largest and smallest Infinities,
And no where else,
Where we have come to reside.
5.
All is necessarily eternal.
(Or it wouldn’t be the All)
It’s hard to fathom
That a past eternity
Has already completed,
Or, it is that Time
Is somehow secondary?
Time seems to be a difference dimension,
Not a summative one adding to space,
In that it is a difference of space.
Noether’s noting of time symmetry
Is what led to energy conservation;
Thus, time may not be just
About motion, but also about
Energy and its polarity,
At least for particles.
The speed of light
Could be the actual dimensional ratio
Between the distance and time dimensions.
6.
Perhaps our present “now”
Can only be
At the center of the
Past and future Eternities.
7.
Our universe is not
At a special place or at a special time,
But, since there is a universe,
Here and now,
There must have always
Been a universe, plus,
There would be and ever was
Only one universe,
Thus leading us to believe
That there must be a method
For its recycling,
Perhaps accomplished
In the galactic cores.
A side note is that the universe
Is already at maximum entropy,
Having existed forever.
8.
The universe cannot be other
Than it is, thus, no fine tuning happened.
Fields, space, particles, and energy
Cannot just do whatever they want,
As they must obey conservation laws,
As well as their characteristic nature,
Which necessarily leads us to determinism;
However, since all events
Will eventually happen,
Or have already happened,
This determinism
Seems to be of unlimited range.
In bio-creatures,
The exact history and path
Of atoms has less bearing,
Since all atoms of a type
Are identical and any one will do,
Plus, they have open systems
And some of the higher organisms
Abstract information into symbols,
All of this leading
To a changeable determined will,
Via learning,
Although a will this is still fixed
At any given instant
To what and who we have become.
9.
It would seem that
There could be no
Bottommost Prime Mover
Made of material,
Since, there, that kind
Of cause and effect must end,
Due to no infinite regresses allowed.
This leaves, only, perhaps,
A balance of space, or Nothing,
As the candidate for the Prime Mover,
For it requires nothing before it.
10.
The material generated,
At all times,
Must be half matter
And half antimatter,
As well as half charged
Ad half oppositely charged,
For this serves to nullify
Existence back to non.
11.
The only stable particles
Are the electrons and the proton,
Curiously oppositely charged.
(Including their anti-states)
12.
A photon, being neutral,
Is actually positive and negative combined,
Being its own antiparticle.
13.
If a photon is actually
A transverse 2-D wave,
Its shape may be rectangular,
This asymmetric shape
Being not uniformly
Acted upon, thus,
It may decay into
Microwave quanta,
Which would continue to compose
The everpresent CMBR.
14.
Galactic halos may act
As microwave antennae
Which collect electric currents
From the CMBR that are drawn
To the galactic core,
(Explaining “mysterious” galactic banding)
Along with other galactic material,
That, via the expansion
Of compound nuclei
By the black hole there,
Along with the electric current,
Cause the compound nuclei
To degenerate back to hydrogen,
Which also releases new photons,
The all of which is ejected
And sprayed
Back into space,
Wherein stars again produce
New compound nuclei, etc.,
Via fusion,
Completing the main action of recycling.
(A smaller part could be due
To light creating matter
And vice-versa)
15.
Life, requiring many billions of years
To form and get going,
Would only be likely
In a calm region
At the outskirts of the galaxy—
Such as ours, on an outer spiral arm.
16.
As the All of the universe
Had no beginning,
There was no creation,
And thus no Creator,
Nor any particular meaning.
(This results in freedom,
Again, he only way it could be)
17.
Math.
Buy a fifth on the third
And drink it on the fourth.
