Science & Cooperation
Science may be summarized as breaking blocks into smaller units in order to use them to build ever more complex structures. But now this level of science has run its course because the smallest blocks refuse to hold any reliable structure that can be depended upon. But not to worry because we have found that if we put enough of these contrary blocks together we can still control their behavior. Or can we?
Our survival now depends on our ability to cooperate.
We have chased the elementary particle to a level that demands cooperation but we refuse because we don’t trust what we cannot control. And so, we invent increasingly complex playing fields. But, no matter how much we move the goalposts we are only biding time for the inevitable changing of the guard. Sooner or later we are going to have to go through this portal. Sooner or later we are going to have to cooperate.
The Dancing Particle
Measure, define and control
Make it belong, make it whole
Nail it down so we can own
Use it to advance the goal.
Technology creates nothing
All is now
We discover and think to own
Just like the Conquistadors of old.
What we cannot measure we can’t control
Such a dilemma – must control!
The cutting edge of science has found
A particle that seems to dance alone.
How do we explain this wisping whim
Moving around, won’t sit still;
A new frontier to nurture fear
Or a virgin birth to become more clear?
Linear complexity, an idiot’s delight
This dancing thing just wants to play
Pied Piper piping away
Must turn back or crash and pay!
What is this thing our science can’t hold
This messenger entreating us to unfold
A portal, a doorway to a brand new day
A higher rung to see the Way.
The difference between Newtonian and Quantum Physics is that the common laws of physics begin to deteriorate on small scales. The reason that quantum physics needs complex math to explain the behaviors and properties of small particles is that the world of these subatomic particles is a very bizarre one, filled with quantum probabilities and organized chaos. For example, the exact position and velocity of an electron is very hard to find because attempts to "see" it involve bouncing other particles off of it. By doing this, you've just changed the electron's velocity, so your data is useless. What quantum physics does is give us the statistical probability of the electron's location at any one moment.

Will O The Wisp!
Dearest Will, please sit still
I want to know your every thrill
Every knowing wisping whim
Dearest Will please sit still.
Want to keep you in my sight
Close and clear, do not fear
I only want to be more clear
About the reason you’re here.
Every time I search for you
I feel you see me through and through;
Looking at my fear bound mind
As if I am a curious find.
Maybe Will you think of me
As flotsam in the open sea
Quite removed from all that's free
Afraid to release to one with thee.
But Will, if for a moment you would sit still
We could be the best of friends
I would not fear your wisping whims
If I could but see your wings.
We humans must control you see
Otherwise we can't be free
So Will, please don't flee!
Need to have you at my knee.
The level of cooperation between one object and another will determine the severity of a collision.
The biggest mistake in all of human thought is the belief that we are evolving from a singular Big Bang. All our systems of thought are based on this idea and because it is a ‘central failure’ all is thereby off-balance and subject to tangential forms that have no possibility of retrieval until the real center is achieved.
The Big Bang is Ongoing:
It repeats as often as necessary to support the demands of our insistence that illusion is real.
The ultimate challenge is now upon us and unless we can re-adjust our center from a single Bang to a recurrent Bang theory we will be unable to gain the level of cooperation necessary to move into the next phase of human development. We have come up against a solid door that is dispersing our momentum in all directions - we are crashing.
Siege
Armies massing, pounding roar
Tricks and guile to fool the door
Finest minds combined to schew
To find a chink to scuttle through.
On and on this siege will last
The final outpost of a single blast
But never will they move on through
Because the price is wisdom’s view.
They will squirm and steal and screw
All that’s required to power them through
Nothing sacred, feast and tear
Spill the blood of those who scare.
Seeding gardens of minds
Training them with fear control
Genetic clones & fascist thrones
Who will cooperate before all disowned?
This saving door will not be moved
Cannot ever be abused
Not until they are released
Will they enter to view the beast.
Conclusion:
We have ridden the single Bang steadily to this irrevocable door. Our current center can no
longer hold, we will not back up nor will we reduce momentum. We can’t go forward and we won’t go back and so we are dispersing into even more finite particles that we chase to control with a tool called quanta. But, there is no way around this door, it will not be moved by physical force, complex intellect or guile. It will be opened with the gentleness of a feather’s breeze by those who have achieved the courage to shift their center of knowledge.
