To summarize the self-organizing creative effect of matter via its own gravity one final time:

Due to its very own property of "gravity", matter in the universe mutually attracts and accumulates itself in confined spaces, leaving nothing or emptiness behind.

Thus, on the one hand, it concentrates empty space (regardless of whether this expands, contracts, or neither); and on the other hand, matter transforms itself by nuclear reaction, in its resulting centers of gravity, over time with exponentially increasing speed, raising the number of elements from just a few to the count of about 100 which are known to us; then it scatters these explosively into empty space again.

These new elements then condense themselves into new (if smaller) centers of gravity, where, by chemical reaction, millions of different molecules are formed, with variants and mixtures; from these, if possible, living tissue is then created by biological reaction, which raises the range of variations to infinite, while keeping the tissue alive with an outflow of energy (and, according to Schrödinger, order), from these and other gravitational centers.

In doing so, and where it has done so, dead matter generously supplies the living matter, which it has converted itself into, with everything possible in that particular time and place: material, resources, order, complexity, diversity, light, heat, energy, potential, movement - all completely free of charge and without external input, while gradually destroying itself.

All things, material and immaterial, except matter itself, physically result from an immutable property of this dead matter - gravity - and nothing else.

So it is dead matter that creates and performs all of that which we ascribe to our own actions.

That may also serve as a guide.

So much for a brief outline.

If the "West" cannot cope with its own findings, the old religions come again. 150 years are roughly the three great generations it takes to manifest a new social condition.

And such disorientation is definitely not "sustainable".

As shown above, however, religion, economy and science only seem to contradict one other; this becomes increasingly clear when all three concern themselves with reality and not with products of fantasy.

To which, on 'Potterism':

Observations on Climate Change pt 2

Copied from thermodynamicsociety.substack.com Comparing the Time Frames (500 million years of climate change) Planetary temperature fluctuations: Internal or external causes? Lately, the focus in things climate change has shifted from Thunberg (perceived cause: internal forces ) back to Milankovic (perceived cause: external forces ) and back again within just a few months. Nevertheless, the fact remains that, though astronomic or cosmic cycles and positions can be predicted with utmost precision, weather and climate on Earth still and most obviously can not ; it seems there may be other factors involved; like - well, perhaps, indeed, the makeup of the planet's atmosphere. So, the following is premised on the assumption that, just as does the Sun's intensity, the position of Earth in Space, and even its own geothermal heat, atmospheric carbon dioxide can and does influence this planet's surface temperature ; at least it is doing so under the current ...

360 Degrees - Division in Time and Space

360 Degrees The partitioning of time and space into 360 steps Partitioning a whole into 360 degrees / 60 minutes with a compass and a ruler as universal instruments for the division of space and time The partitioning of a full circle as a representative of the whole into 360 degrees goes back to Babylonian times of farming and simple technology - 5000 years ago, around 3000 BC to 300 BC. Our current decimal number system is based on the number 10; their numerical system was based on the number 60 . In those days, the emphasis was not , as it is today, on arbitrarily precise mathematics, but on those principally so; it was not about calculations ( these were then neither possible nor needed ), but about division and construction of artifacts with available aids . Within simple life, symmetry, dividing evenly, and fair and correct sharing, are of big, if not existential importance. Since reality itself is but an approxim...
