who asserted along with Einstein and others that the universe is finite. We observe and indeed construct an internal universe based on our observations and capabilities at our own frame of reference. Yet the finite universe results in a second law of thermodynamics which in and of itself constrains our existence. The fact that our existence has limits implies that the universe is finite. We change and grow old. The Earth and universe as we observe them likewise change. The creation of life in our "hemisphere" is an entropy struggle. In an environment tending toward disorder, life improbably (it seems to us) evolves and differentiates into a complex ecological system. We ourselves are constrained by the realities of those who have other frames of reference, the beasts and plants who share our Earth, our families and our communities. In fact, life can be defined within the context of a series of constraints and their effects on us- as well as our effect on others. Ecological and social systems within these systems of constraints tend to be stable, some more than others...yet eventually all change, disappear or are absorbed. In this universal "hemisphere", increasing entropy is the rule, decreasing entropy is an isolated phenomenon. Stability (and security) are momentary or passing. The other universal "hemisphere" sees decreasing entropy as the rule, with islands of increasing entropy to remind its inhabitants such a thing as disorder does exist. Overall, each frame of reference is invariant, experienced over and over again eternally, as a result of the decisions and conflicts of each cycle, experiencing with the whole universe a process which overall, because of its complexity, overcomes the tendancy toward disorder in the universe and enables the whole to survive. As such, we live in a finite megaverse with a single time process experienced repeatedly (on 4D event horizon surfaces) in slightly different ways by each frame. Each frame evolves in an eternal phylogenic process as part of an interlocked, interdependent system. |
