Le Néant


 Listening to Alan Guth, this morning. It struck me: we are just

going to have to draw the conclusion. Somethingness is no more 

improbable than nothingness. And run with it. Indeed , no amount 

of time would ever be enough for something to arise from nothing.

So somethingness seems to have the edge.


There is another to look at it, of course. And that is: this is nothingness.

Everything balances out to zero. Nothingness is what all existence is trying 

for.


Religion endeavours to put a healthy spin on it: the God(s) hypothesis. Science

seeks to appease our anxiety. It will all turn silent and peaceful in the end.

Time is but an abstraction from our experience of change.


I enjoy the findings and musings of physics. A true void is impossible

to create; and it requires a consciousness to ascertain that. It is pesky intelligence

causing all the trouble, and creating the 'problem'.


This universe appears doomed to end. Will another arise. All the stuff from this

one appears to put a damper on all further Big Bangs. That might be the issue to

consider.
