K: if you think about it, what is the universe actually made of?
we have atoms… this is the basic, most fundamental substance of the
universe and everything is simply atoms built upon atoms to create
object… the table I am writing at is the same type of atoms that live
within your body and is the same type of atoms that exists in the sun…
the universe is simply made up of atoms…
and the guiding principles of the universe is
the 4 forces of nature…we have electromagnetism, strong interaction/force,
weak force and gravity…
those are the rules by which the universe plays with…
just as baseball has rules, three strikes and your out, tie goes
to the runner… that sort of thing, we have the rules of the universe
and those rules are laid out by the 4 forces of nature…
so we have 4 forces of nature, 4 rules of nature and we have atoms…
the 4 forces of nature tells atoms what is possible for them… what
atoms can do is defined by the 4 forces of nature………
now we have complexity build upon those 4 forces and those atoms,
but the basic level of the universe is 4 forces and atoms…
(personally, I believe that there are more then 4 forces, but at some
point, I hope to see this to happen)
so we have atoms and the 4 forces of nature acting upon those atoms…
everything we see is the result of the interactions between the 4 forces
of nature and atoms… that is why we see patterns… given that there
are only so many things that can happen between atoms and the 4 forces,
that they wind up repeating themselves…
on earth, we see a wide diversity of life, but that life is at heart, only
atoms, biological atoms that react to the rules that govern life…
if we understand the rules, we can then predict the actions, the
form of the actions……… if we understand the rules of baseball,
then we can understand what is really happening in a game…
now I have seen cricket… but it seems dull and pointless to me, but why?
because I don’t know the rules… I don’t know what is happening or why it is happening…
the 4 forces of the nature are simple the rules of the universe…once we
understand the rules, we can understand what is happening and why…
we see patterns in the universe because of the rules of the universe…
different rules creates different patterns…so what are the rules that
make patterns quite common in our universe? the fact that there
are really a very few rules in the universe, 4 forces and only one material…
atoms………
now granted, some rules are very, very complicated… which is why we
have yet to figure them out and this is why the universe seems to be complicated…
but once we have understood the rules, the universe will seem very simple
and uncomplicated…and we will see why the rules of the universe creates
patterns and meanings and the mathematics of it all and we will also know
the rules…in essence, we can really learn to play the game and become…
