## Since this thread has been usurped by the walking ignorant. I started new thread called Cosmic Outline. \*\*Cosmic Outline \*\* 1) "_U_"niverse is my most inclusive( wholistic ) terminology ergo; …1a _metaphysical-1( mind/intellect/concept )_ ## …1b macro-infinite non-occupied space( embraces finite occupied space **Uni** Verse, …1c finite, occupied space **Uni** Verse. 1. _metaphysical-1 mind/intellect/concept_ …ex concept of a God outside of finite Universe, holding Universe in its hands… …2a) absolutes truths–cosmic laws/principles, etc …2b) relative truths * * * 3)\*\* Uni\*\*Verse = finite occupied space aka physical/energy …3a) fermions, **bosons** and any collective aggregate thereof …3b) gravity and dark energy odd-bird-out bosons Ignorance and cruel intention rdiculists please stay away. Thx ebuc ---

No you didn’t-This is still the same old thread with the same old stuff of yours repeated over and over again. Any chance of getting that color code to interpret your writings? ---

Evolution does not stop with rationalism and logical empiricism, those are very important milestones and bring us out of the medieval ways of thinking, but they are not the pinnacle. Has anyone claimed this? Has anyone said, “Now we are at the highest point that human society will ever attain?” We are not the “pinnacle.” We’re just as the current high-water-mark. We’re better than any human society has ever been, in the past. That doesn’t mean that we can’t hope for even better yet in the future. > [@Budget\_Player\_Cadet](#): > > I reject your cosmic outline as complete gibberish. . . . Well, of course! When you quoted it, you removed the colors. Without the colors, it doesn’t have any meaning. > [@cmyk](#): > > . . . Although it’s hard to imagine the meaning of a Universe without _any_ property; therefore I can imagine a universe that is comprised of only spacetime, but that brings it practically to the point of absolute nothingness (except for the existence of a _there_ and a _then,_ for what that’s worth). I was taught in school that one of the first solutions worked out to Einstein’s cosmic equations was for a universe that was uniformly filled with matter, to some certain density. A very simple universe, but the equations were so brutal, the early mathematicians had to go with what they could calculate. I was also taught that the next simplest universe – totally empty save for one planet – led immediately to disputes between Einstein and Mach, over whether that planet could be said to “rotate.” One of 'em said “With respect to what?” and the other said “Space-time itself.” (Which way does cosmology lean today? Given “frame-dragging,” I’m guessing that the planet can be said to rotate with respect to space-time.) ---
