Cosmic Creation: Work in Progress

 On Creation Creation did not happen ; it is still going on. The following is intended, inter alia, to shed some light on the phenomenon of how the role of gravity - although generally known - found so surprisingly little entry into the considerations of " What holds this world together innermost ", and how these considerations were always focussed more on destructive thermodynamics - that is, to the realm of potential reduction with conservation of mass and energy . Beyond that, however, Creation is a ongoing process in the making , in this very moment ; and this goes far beyond Darwin's concept of ongoing biological evolution, or even of the Earth's geological evolution, both of which were discovered at around the same time . Both concepts hitherto implicit a status quo, some defined point in time and space; however, Creation in this view is eternal , universal and all-encompassing ; it did not just take place everywhere and throughout time ...

Life, the universe and all the rest

[This title is of course stolen from Douglas Adams , but the name from Stanislaw Lem .] Paradise was never lost - It never existed -      on EARTH       Many currently believe that this world is by nature - literally from its inception - a paradise that is only maliciously prevented from manifesting itself by a certain part of the population. This is new . At least some believe this - at least as long as enough moist food pulp is squeezed into their dwelling cells and the waste from their metabolism is discreetly and efficiently disposed of; then they may also believe that they do not produce any. And it is really an irrational, religious belief (that in a paradise possible on Earth), even if they themselves do not perceive this belief rationally , but try to rationalize their belief; their conveyance of guilt for the loss of it onto some evil Satan incarnate shows this all too clearly. However, this belief is justified b...

Marx Darwin Clausius

The Easter 2021 Edition The Problem of the Closed Box " Just as the constant increase in entropy is the basic law of the universe, so it is the basic law of life to be ever more highly structured and to struggle against entropy " - attributed to Vaclav Havel You cannot struggle against entropy; that would only increase it, just as you cannot dig your way out of a hole or cut a notch out of the side of a rowboat : it would simply sink. THAT is the basic law of the universe: it is called the " Second law of Thermodynamics ", and it works in one direction only. On the other hand, there is nothing to stop a decrease in entropy, and lifeless universe to become ever more highly structured, if the process governing this development is not thermodynamic. Thus Cosmos can form from Chaos . And bring forth life. Man did not descend from Gods , as romantic as that old superstition may be: The older structures are simpler than the newer ones.

In the Beginning

The bough branch sways in the wind, it's shakin' And everybody learns It's out of dust we were once taken To dust we shall return. It's naked I came from my mother's womb It's naked I'll return some day The Lord God gives this life to live And man, he takes away. Titel & Artist: Unknown (MP3) In the Beginning " God created heaven and earth " But how? For some 13.5 billion years, matter in the cosmos has been organizing itself into ever more complex structures. It begins with a gas cloud, at its preliminary end there is (for a ridiculously short time) self-conscious, living tissue. At least here and there. And that inevitably in the entire universe at the same time, since the mechanism of this self-organization equally inevitably takes place in the entire universe at the same time. Give or take a few billion earth years. But: It is constantly claimed or asserted that the cosmos is a place of chaos .   Or is des...
