| Andir said: Let's say for instance (in an example I brought up earlier) that all things you see and hear and smell today are derived from one simple rule. Let's call this rule "gravity" for argument sake. You have these particles, and gravity. This particle is tiny. It's smaller than what we know as an atom. It's composed of one part. One part that has a given mass. Let's say that it's attracted to another particle. When it "combines" with this particle (not collide and bounce, but orbits, maybe even settles to form a heavier object) it slightly changes characteristic. If enough of these particles work together you have something on one end that looks like a grouping of matter (clumping), something that looks like energy (orbiting) and something that causes reactions form other groupings (collision, reflection... light). If you take a million specks of sand, you can form a lot of unique and interesting things. No two would be alike, no two would do the same thing. Let's say you have other particles colliding with these groups and some break apart. Some stay intact. Now, if these two sand particles collide and push against each other, they create what is perceived as energy... motion. This is how I see the world. Everything is created and composed of the most simple object that we have yet to see. You have the table of elements, but they are simple composed of elements derives from what I assume is our building block material. Through resilience, these elements either remain intact and resist the collision of other micronic particles or they break apart like billiard balls. Those most resilient combinations are what we see most commonly found (Iron, Oxygen, etc.) The unstable minerals are those that usually contain what we perceive as energy, but in fact, they could simply be incompatible groupings of these tiny particles bouncing off each other. The rule governing these particles (move toward each other) is the simplest, yet most stringent rule. In order to change something in someone's life without them witnessing such a change, you'd have to change this one basic rule, and the entire universe would destroy itself because you'd upset the entire relationship structure that all these tiny particles base their structures on. So, where did these particles come from? They've always existed, happily bouncing and colliding about. (IMHO) |
Are you familiar with string theory at all? It's a lot like this, and it's (sort of) what I was talking about in my God energy post last page. It basically says at their most basic levels, every object in the universe is made up of identical vibrating strings of energy. These strings all resonate differently, which determines what type of particle it is and what type of properties it has. It's like musical waves, but with particles instead of sound pitches. Here's a link that gives a better summary if you wanted to look into it: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/elegant/resonance.html
