There seems to be a paradox in a Universal Law. It limits us to the Straight and Narrow, or as I call it, the Event Horizon, yet, to evolve, we need diversity. A broad spectrum?
Scientists limit their laws to a very narrow range. Reductio ad absurdum? Reductionism. Newton’s Laws are an example of such an attitude.
Example:
Newton's First Law states that an object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an external force.
It’s a good start.
It is apparent that the Universe doesn’t work like that. Universal Laws are broad, with vast consequences for ignoring them. Countless rates of vibration of energy are involved.
What if the temperature of the object changes? What if the object is a biological entity which changes within and without? What if time erodes it’s qualities… etc, etc. All these factors would affect the stasis or velocity of the object without ANY external force acting upon it.
This sad quality affects the vast majority of ‘scientific’ postulates. Scientists seem to reduce the question to it’s most basic form, the only form they seem to understand. Complexity is left to the philosophers.
And yet, the Universe is not simple.
It’s complexity remains beyond our understanding. The only way we can approach its character is by studying the cause, perhaps the purpose, and not the effect. This is imperative because the results of various kinetic activities are always transient.
Having said that, let us never forget that we, inter alia, are the instruments of causality. Just instruments, mind you. The real cause are the Universal Laws. Yet, it seems, that even those undergo constant change, due to the Law of Evolution, which continues to increase diversity of expression of the eternal, unchangeable Cause. Hence, Being and Becoming. While Becoming offers us life, Being is the inexhaustible inspiration to create ever-new realities. And, if we are very lucky, and, perhaps, humble, we might be able to become aware of some of them.
It seems that we should never forget that only Being is constant, whereas Becoming is the eternal expression of creation and therefore movement. And this movement is not restricted by any of Newton’s laws. Or any other laws that do not cover a broad spectrum of Universality.
The next time we create our Universe, let us try to remember that. All is transient except for Being and Becoming. The Potential and the Creativity. The results are always transient.
Good luck.
