"A human being is part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. We experience ourselves, our thoughts and feelings as something separate from the rest. A kind of optical delusion of consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from the prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty... We shall re uire a substantially new manner of thinking if mankind is to survive." Albert Einstein

I just now threw together the cover image, as intuition and creativity go: like Douglas Adams by his own admission picked 42 out o thin air to be the ultimate answer to the !uestion "#hat is the $eaning o %i e&", so did I pick one o my previous creations and embellished it with a ew words to ul ill my obligation as its creator: this book should have a cover page, i I intend to write it' It won(t !uite be science iction, even though substantial parts o it are too antastic to ever be believed by the less open)minded person in the street' *hat is no problem +and not even their loss, or they will lourish splendidly without my ideas, navigating this -osmos or .eality by whatever subset o it they hold to be real and believable' /ut back to the cover image or a moment: the massive roundness o the All, which has been given inite boundaries in order to make it it on this cover, appears to be rolling over and crushing the author, poor little me' $ind you though, that is the pessimistic view0 I may have elt like that in the past, but nowadays the optimistic path is the route I take, while joy ully loating with the multicolored beauty o the All' #hat took away the ear& -ould it be the reali1ation that 2Frightening Emotions Aren(t Real"& 3r is it the logical conse!uence o believing that the our laws o creation are the stable base my being needs to stay joy ul all day long& 4ust or the record, reely !uoting /ashar, even though 5ource + or lack o a better word, is o course the ultimate point o 3rigin: 6' 7ou have always e8isted, and in some orm you always will' -an(t change that0 2' *he All is the 3ne, and the 3ne is the All' 9o changing that either0 :' 7ou e8perience that which you radiate to your environment' Also not changeable0 4' *he only -osmological -onstant is Change, e8cept or the above three laws' ;retty deep material, and you(ll probably agree with me that /ashar makes it sound so much more un' 4ust look him up on 7outube, or click http:<<www'youtube'com<watch&v=an1>?@EghAB *his is no attempt at making it big as a writer' /een there, done that, ( ailed( miserably0 9ot because I can(t write, but because I needed to igure out I(d much rather do it or my own enjoyment, than or the ew bucks a sold copy might etch me' 5o this book will be written, uploaded to http:<<www'mooreli e'nl, and that(s about all I will do to initially promote it' A ter all, I(ve seen way too many books mysteriously reach my ield o observation in per ect timing, to think that widespread adverti1ing will actually make it reach more o the people who (need( this in their lives' *hat doesn(t mean I(ll avoid comments, criticisms and discussion though'''' And o course my Dutch nature won(t allow me to re use any e8pression o gratitude or having written this book' 4ust look at it more rom the view o my volunteer endeavors in ;maintenance: I i8 your ;-, and ask or nothing e8cept the cost o any new parts needed' 7ou decide on what you(ll add to that in gratitude, i anything'''' Page 4 of 77

*hus ar, I(ve usually just let the low o creativity direct the structure o my writings, and usually this comes out just ine' 7et somehow I eel that I should ponder it or a moment, i only or the act that 3ne not only is the beginning o that which ollows 1ero, but also the 3neness that eventually is our goal: a world united in its vision, not because a sel )appointed ew dictate their views to the many, but because all are in total agreement, and without class di erences go about making our 9ow a bright and prosperous one I'''' #ell, it is said there is no beginning or ending to a circle or a sphere, and I wholeheartedly agree' /ut a circle or sphere may very well be the beginning, as it is here' As such, it started on my second birthday o the second $illennium, @ebruary 2: rd, 2JJ6AD' 9ot that I particularly remember it being that date, but the creation time stamp o the irst image in the set I created back then has that value' And since I(ve always been one to make sure my ;clock is accurate, I can easily claim it to have started that day' It lowed into a three week addiction o wanting to ill any and all gaps in my daily activities with the utterly rela8ed activity o drawing what I called my 7in K 7ang mandala(s: 7up, the irst one was a simple one, basically just to determine the tools I(d be using to create the lot' Drawing only circle selections, and doing a sunburst gradient ill in various colors to give it a bit o li e' *hinking about doing it& 9ot really, it was more a matter o thinking about having done it: 5tarting at the 3ne o 3neness' 3ddly enough though, the shading o the whole immediately suggested a ne8t step, which is commonly known all around the globe''''

@eeling 7in K 7ang aren(t amous just because they look nice, I elt there had to be some deeper meaning to it, above and beyond that o its common meaning, the symbol o duality and balance' Daving o ten been told I am seeing things too black and white, I igured there were more colors to it, but more colors would mean more spheres, and I just could not bring mysel to break the beauty o it in some unnatural way' 5o the impression o rotation needed to remain' #ith mitosis coming to mind though, the ne8t stage seemed altogether logical'''

*rue, mitosis usually works in a binary ashion, with one cell becoming two, and two becoming our, etc' /ut let(s or one moment assume that the two cells dividing into our don(t do so at e8actly the same moment, because they are in act two changes' #hich means a ter the irst division there will be three cells, as shown on the le t' 9o matter how they cling together, they are always in one plane, a 2D)world'' 9e8t step& 5imple: the second cell will also divide, increasing the number to our' /ut strictly speaking, there are three possible positions that ourth cell can come to occupy, as will be seen below' I we consider the three)dimensional appearance o the trinity, a very stable position or the ourth sphere might be on top o the other three, as the image on the le t visuali1es' %ogic shows that the second stable position would be on the opposite side o the plane, behind the other three' ?sually, when viewing mitosis rom two to our cells under a microscope, we see this kind o ormation, somewhat melded together' In act, this is the irst con iguration that has a sphere outside the plane o origin' @our there or seems to be a (special( number' *he last position that might be occupied is simply an e8pansion o the plane in which the irst three spheres ound themselves' A our old 7in K 7ang, this is even more unstable than the three old one, because o the bigger hole in its center, and the wobbly nature o the ring o our' 5u icient rotation might keep it a ring, but 9ature abhors a vacuum, and will ill this hole sooner or later''''' 3n the other hand, why does almost everything in the -osmos rotate& #ell, the 7in K 7ang doesn(t suggest rotation or nothing0 -ould it be because there is also a per ect balance between the pre erence or the three possible positions, in such a way that the rotation o the ring o spheres keeps the probability o a new sphere landing on either o the three positions per ectly in balance& *o me, the !uestion is obvious, but my mind re uses to provide me with the mathematical answer: it is simply not math)minded enough to help me with this' 5o the rotation might well enable rings like these to e8ist without turning them into cluttered cores be ore the eventual outcome could be reached''''' !ow in order to keep things simple, "#ll let go of the mitosis analogy, and will simply show you the rest as a mathematical series, which adds one sphere at a time. Page 7 of 77

Again, two stable positions in ront o and behind the plane o the irst our, but the care ul observer will see that the center sphere is now a bit more sunken into the plane o its our predecessors: certainly, since they had a larger hole in their middle, that would be obvious''' " didn#t check, but also wouldn#t be in the least bit surprised if the centers of these five spheres have exactly the same relative distances that the corners of the pyramids have. "t#s something about special numbers, they have a knack for popping up in the weirdest places$ 9umber ive is even more pronounced, with a still bigger hole, and even stabler ne8t positions' I(m not sure i there is still enough room to have newer spheres occupying both the ront and back position, because they tend to sink into the plane so deeply, they might collide with the opposite one' Delivering the mathematical proo or that is something I ind way too comple8 to incorporate into a common language te8t like this one' @eel ree to igure out this e8ercise, i you eel up to it' *his is hardly worth adding a ew words to, because the succession o images and the straight orward nature o this evolution o the spheres make it understandable to most people' *here or, we will immediately skip this and the ne8t one, and head on into the ultimate 7in K 7ang derivative, in the ne8t chapter''''' And don(t or one moment believe I(m the only one having seen this: the crop circle on the right shows the spheres in an Escherian impossible perspective, but the si8 satellites are clearly distinguishable, and the repeat on di erent scales is also clearly indicated' Aliens or busy humans, who cares& It(s the idea that counts'''' %ike " said, these weren#t the most complex mandalas " made back then. &ome of the more complex and art'like ones will be shown in Appendix A as a kind of light dessert......

1.1 Right smack in the middle...

"Hega00", many movie maniacs will now shout' 7es, the title o this chapter is a line rom the movie -ontact, uttered in a typical Aussie accent' 3ne o my avorites this movie is, along with a air number o other ones' 3ver time, I must have seen about 4JJJ movies' %et me introduce the grand inale o this se!uence, and at the same time the jumping board o what(s to come: the 5even5phere0 +a'k'a how to give 55 a better reputation''', Dow it got that name is easy: most observers will immediately see our trusted honeycomb pattern, a weave o si8)sided shapes, and will associate it with the number si8' Although correct rom their point o view +and state o mind,, this number is not the All o it: to keep this si8 old 7in K 7ang stable regardless o rotation, the center sphere +the seventh one, is essential0 It its per ectly at the center o its environment, touching all surrounding spheres at e8actly one point, and basically keeping the ring rom wobbling' And in that con iguration, the cluster o spheres again becomes a lat orm, or a plane' *hat, my dear riends, is the meaning o %i e0 7ou give it meaning, but by your choice in that matter you collapse its in inite probability into a subset which contains only those realities you can observe, and in either a positive or negative way, believe in'''' *he two given viewpoints on the 5even5phere are probably not the only ones that can be derived rom this image' /ut si8 times seven e!uals 42, with or without a conscious association to Douglas Adams( random choice' *hat in act his choice wasn(t random may be shown here later, or incomplete observations may be called random, i the essence o the choice was not obvious in the irst observation' In that case we just (go with what eels right(''' 3bservation is the ne8t step: just as dead certain as I didn(t reali1e it when I drew these symbols, my intuition colored them back then as I saw it: the colors o the rainbow or the satellites, and a middle gray or the center sphere' 3nly just now, a mere ten years later, did I reali1e that this (random( action o my intuition was in act my subconscious illing in the blanks0 *hat center, gray because essentially it can choose its color all by itsel , is the observer' 7ou or I, or anyone who eels like it, may reali1e he or she is in this position merely because we observe the way we observe: there is no such thing as an objective observer, simply because our gray little center sphere is a structurally essential part o the whole0 Also, the 5even5phere is the simple 2D)representation, but more visually oriented people will immediately reali1e that the series o special numbers isn(t complete yet0 #here our spheres jumped the dimensions rom 2 to :, and seven spheres is signi icant because it reduced the dimensionality rom : to 2 again, we can easily see how a 5even5phere has dimples on either side, si8 o them' In :D space there is however only room or three additional spheres in ront and three additional spheres in the back because three adjacent spheres also cover the three dimples in between, making the total number o spheres add up to L M N = 6: spheres0 9ote these two trinities can align or not align, making possible two distinct :D combinations o 6:' Its orm then is either twisted or straight, no pun intended' Page of 77

Is this perhaps why thirteen is considered the unlucky number& /ecause ourteen will cause the cluster to break into a dimension o an entirely di erent type: si1e0 7es, any mitosis beyond this point will make sure the cluster no longer its its original supersphere: It will have to grow, and eventually, to divide' I igure I should say a bit about the rest o the se!uence, between seven and thirteen' I we consider that rotation is an essential component o this buildup, then the si8 colored spheres will also be rotating around the center one, keeping it in the orm o a lat spinning disc' In act, addition o spheres until now was either in the ring itsel , or on either side o it, on the a8is o rotation itsel ' 5o up to seven the rotating orm is rotationally stable' /ut what i we add sphere number eight& It too has possible e8tension points on either side o the disc, but in adding itsel there, the rotation becomes wobbly, like a bicycle wheel that was damaged' /ut where the wheel is !uite rigid, the disc o spheres isn(t, and will become a sort o ring o beads that rotates around the center sphere' And o course, i it has mass, it will generate gravity waves0 Although I can clearly see it happening be ore my mind(s eye, the math or it escapes me' I can only try to convey the image in my mind in language that is somewhat descriptive or (normal( people, hoping our more math)savvy ellow humans know where to go rom there' /esides, the impact o this is ar too widespread to be resolved by any one person: the mechanics o this se!uence may show themselves during mitosis, but as we will see in this book, the speci ics o the structure also reach urther into maths, language, and possibly a lot more o the various scienti ic disciplines' ;erhaps it might even change our way o thinking, or at least the way we think about our way o thinking'''' Either way, the gray sphere is the center o rotation, and the others will divide themselves around it in such a way that the rotation stays balanced' *hat however does not mean that the orientation o the rotation stays the same, or that the ring is lat' It is sort o like changing your mind: you observe things +new spheres,, know about others already +older spheres,, and making up your mind will change your rotation, orientation, and possibly your course' *hus in the other representation, the 5even5phere represents us in our realities' I(ve held that belie o wanting to be dead center ever since grade si8 or something' 9ot that I was such a brilliantly intelligent boy, but more because having escaped the plague o schoolyard rivalry, I had ew riends and there or more time to think about it anyway' /ut it was obvious rom my understanding that the true ?omo ?niversalis +not words I used back then, needed to know about everything in a truly indiscriminate ashion' It was only recently that I reali1ed that my conviction o wanting to know it All was eventually visuali1ed in the 5even5phere image that initiated this chapter' /ig thoughts or such a little guy& Dmm, since I(ve always e8isted, my normal human age is hardly relevant'''''' And neither is yours0 3 course, i inite boundaries were the e8tent o the All, then the middle wouldn(t be hard to ind, and be shown in this simple way' /ut generally the All is considered to be in inite, so what would one call its middle& 9ormally it would be the point that is the average o all points on the sur ace, but being in inite, the All has no sur ace' 5o i we do want to say something about the (center(, the only conclusion is that it has in inite points that are in inity away rom the point we are observing, and thus any point can be considered the middle' Page 10 of 77

And o course Cnowing it All seems parado8ically impossible: 7ou(d be studying or what is called an In inity, in order to reach your target' /ut still, being an eight year old boy, that was the solemn promise I made mysel , a ter having been le t ( or dead( by a ew ellow classmates' I don(t remember their names now, which is a pity really: I(d love to thank them or causing me to reconsider my point o view on this world, and promising mysel I(d: "Figure it All out, so I can show those bullies that their behavior doesn t fit in my world!" In hindsight, I can never make that proo stick, simply because the All has room or all, even the bullies'''' It was simply that I needed them to help me arrive a that promise, and the eventual !uest0 And the real unny thing& ;retty soon a ter that promise, I orgot I made it, because the pestering eased up, and I came to ind school a relatively com ortable place to spend my childhood' A ter that, I basically just went through the paces o various e8ams, starting a job in the I* business, and being !uite good at it too, until a bipolar disorder messed things up a bit''' It wasn(t that I couldn(t cope, but wanting more meant the -osmos +eager to please, simply gave me more than I bargained or, leaving me a world I couldn(t yet handle, or thought I couldn(t' It was like getting a Darley Davidson or your birthday, without having gotten the appropriate driver(s education' And the downs a ter those ups were taking their toll' *hen, through a riend o a colleague o my wi e, I met .enO, a local psychic' De needed just one look at me, and ound the essence o my being somewhat lost: "5omething happened when you were eight", he said' De wouldn(t tell me what, and thus had me wrecking my mind until ne8t week' I thought and thought, but the only thing I could come up with, was that one promise I made mysel , which was the loudest whisper above the silence' And even ne8t week, .enO listened to me telling him about it, but didn(t acknowledge or deny my belie s' *he promise however was back in my conscious mind, and I learned that the voice o my intuition wasn(t a shout, but a whisper audible only when I !uieted my mind, and went inside' I you think that was a position that can only be noticed by yoursel , and not by others, think again: many times, when I went to meditate in the lotus position +like /uddha,, our poodle $acho would curl up in my lap until I came out o it again' De always was a sucker or peace ul places''''' And you know what& *he unny thing was, even though I orgot, my path o most signi icant actions, at least to me, had been a per ect e8ecution o the promise to mysel , despite my orgetting' I was per ectly on track to pick it up where I(d le t it all those years ago, and continue as though nothing had happened0 ;retty soon a terward, .enO took me aside and told me he was stopping the *hursday night sessions, so I couldn(t attend anymore' @unny thing to do, i all people in the room would be similarly a ected'''' /oth he and I knew this little white lie wouldn(t ly, but I thanked him or all he(d done, and we parted as riends' $y guess about his reason to !uit& #ell, I was on track again, so like a dad letting go o his kids bike, he did too' And I pedaled into the great e8panse, better e!uipped to deal with what was to come' /ut having told me that would have in luenced me in a possibly less optimal way' /etter i I igured it out mysel ' Page 11 of 77

@irst thing we notice is that basically, integer division opens up a whole world o more intriguing numbers: we see some o the integer divisions yield other integers, but the other outcomes invariably yield non)integer numbers' $ost people calculating them will see three types o numbers: integers, non)repeating ractions and the repeating ones' /ut is there really a distinction when in inity is at play& 5even divided by seven yields one, or more precisely 6'JJJJJJ ad in initum' 7ou may say that this is a simple integer answer, but the alternate view is right there in plain sight: you see a one, and I see a one ending in a never ending string o repeating 1eroes0 5o why don(t we just simpli y real arithmetic a bit& 4ust see a real value as an integer part, ollowed by a non)repeating ractional part, in turn ollowed by a repeating ractional part& 9o optionality in any o them, they all appear at all times even though the lengths o the irst two parts may be 1ero' All good comes in threes, as a later chapter will show' 5tick with it though, because we(re bound to ind a ew unny numbers once we e8amine the spreadsheet that accompanies this book' It can be ound at http:<<books'mooreli e'nl<in inityplusone<numbers'8ls' *he irst page basically gives the base idea or this step o the research: it is a simple set o divisions, topmost value divided by le tmost value' @ormatted to show twelve decimals, but keep in mind the last one may be rounded up''' $aking the number o decimals larger is a bit o a no)no, because current spreadsheets aren(t based on arbitrary length numbers' Daving to do without a so tware)based e!uivalent o the superior staining method -amillo Golgi developed in 6BL: or cellular material viewed under a microscope, which I read about only this week because my dear riend 5angeeta brought me a lovely nerd(s book called the Invisible -entury, I had to use this input by deploying one o humanity(s strongest eats: we are phenomenal pattern recogni1ers0 @unny to see how the currently playing Enterprise episode is aptly appropriate: Archer and his armory o icer are out on deck, to disarm a .omulan mine which has attached itsel to the hull right ne8t to one o the anti)matter reactors' *alk about a challenge in pattern recognition skills, i you don(t have the schematics0 /ack during the initial e8periment, I only ound part o the pattern: the rows o numbers right ne8t to the multiples o seven in the le tmost column had remarkable numbers o similar repeating tails: most o them, and certainly those in the L row showed the repeat se!uence o PL642B' At this moment, I reckon the repeating se!uence goes or all divisions where a multiple o seven isn(t ound on the top row: those are all showing a repeat se!uence o J, whether it is si8 long or just one' /ut all numbers that aren(t multiples o seven show the same repeat' 5ome o you will disagree, simply because they also see other numbers in those cells' Ceep in mind though, that the non)repeating part o a division may be !uite long' And since our spreadsheets aren(t really ready to deal with arbitrary length numbers, who is to say where we(ll encounter the remarkable PL642B se!uence& 3ne thing(s or sure, this se!uence is amiliar to me at least in two respects: I(ve read the Ditchhiker(s Guide to the Gala8y, and so recogni1e the relevance o the mystic number 42' @urthermore, apart rom being repeater se!uence I initially ound, that se!uence is also tied to all multiples o seven in another peculiar way' I guess I can tell you about it by just Page "0 of 77

A task I did write a program or back then, was to ind out just how many di erent repeating se!uences there were in the integer division space' It turned out that I could write them all as si8 digit repeat se!uences, some repeating 6 digit N times, others have 2 digits : times, or : digits 2 times' @inally, there also where those that had N digits repeating over and over again' %onger repeat se!uences I have yet to ind' 9otice how all these repeater se!uences basically it the leaves o the 5even5phere& *hey are the our con igurations o in which si8 can be subdivided into smaller parts: 68N, 28:, :82, N86' /ut still, they are N, surrounding a seventh'

I igured all divisions yielded si8)digit repeater se!uences, and wanted to know just what their relative appearances were: so the program would calculate, or ever increasing ranges o integers, the numbers o the repeaters as they occurred in the divisions' @eeding the answers into a spreadsheet, it indeed turned out to be very peculiar indeed: It became evident that there was a certain pattern in those repeaters, o which I(d omitted the si8 1eroes because I already knew they were the most prevailing combination' 9ow what does this image remind you o & /ack in high school I(d seen something similar, when the teacher told us about Page "7 of 77

/ack when I was a kid, I read this maga1ine called (CijC(, which is Dutch or (%ooC(' It still is a semi)scienti ic maga1ine, which always has these interesting articles' 3ne day I read there, that scientists had igured out, that languages have a certain structure: or any given language, a limited set o three letter combinations is used, and the total o that set is typical or that language' I(m not sure i I read it there too, but the idea came into my mind that there would also have to be a subset o all sets or all languages, thus making the ?niversal *ranslator rom 5tar *rek a possibility' /ut o course something more would be re!uired to make such a sci i contraption into everyday reality' And thus it all connects: where languages can be e8pressed in three letter parts, it is e!ually doable to describe any three)dimensional shape in a inite amount o triangles0 I can(t help but see the same in language, because any concept in language would be made up o a inite number o three letter parts' And what would be the most minimal stable orm we could manu acture& #ell, basically, it consists o our triangles, and is called a tetrahedron when all sides are o e!ual length' /ut something I just reali1ed: our triangles have twelve corners, which again is the amount o spheres that go around the center one in a :D 5even5phere0 5o yes, the 5even5phere might be the (atom o language(, o which words are built as molecules' -an you see in your minds eye how these molecular words will bond together to orm substances that one might call ideas& And how these ideas then orm larger, more comple8 designs that may be called knowledge& /ut still, even molecules, ideas and knowledge may be labeled in order to transmit their meaning in a sort o shorthand, thus leading to new words' In this way, language is a recursive, multi)dimensional concept' #ell, once I had the 5even5phere, there was this weird nudging in my mind, to e8periment with language in regard to that orm' And sure enough, something came up0 I ound, that ollowing the orm o the 5even5phere, I could place a word in the center sphere, and then e8plain, dissect or sum up that concept by placing si8 others around it' It wasn(t an (always right( situation, because o ten, the number o e8plaining words isn(t si8 but seven, and the seventh one is somehow special, like or instance the days o the week: $onday till 5aturday, and 5unday being the odd one out, being the one day o rest' /ut like the wordplay taught me about language, it also taught me about the 5even5phere: believe it or not, there were actually di erent variations o it, when it came to the e8planatory words' 5ome would just be a se!uence o si8 stages, one ollowing the other' At other times, the e8planation would take the orm o three sets o two opposing concepts, or two threesomes' *he inal variation would be si8 singular concepts, unrelated but together neatly e8plaining the center word' 5ome combinations, like the concept o $onth, re!uire a ull :D 5even5phere, or two 2D ones' 9ow the imaginative among you may have seen this coming: i each word can be e8plained by si8 others, but those others can in turn be e8plained by still other sets, then there seems to be a sort o beehive structure in language' *rue, not a neat :D beehive, because language is a concept o ideas without any real si1e, rather than walls between adjacent cells' In act, it is Page 40 of 77

27eah, sureE, I hear you think' 4ust remember it takes a bit o e8ercise to hold two opposing viewpoints in your mind at the same time: we tend to pick up that which goes along the same lines as our viewpoints, in order to strengthen them' 9othing wrong with that, but that means your interests need to be diverse i you do want to see both sides o the coin' 9ow I(m not trying to prove this to you, because I(m still not !uite convinced on it mysel ' It(s just that there(s this unmistakable tapestry o observations and ideas mounting here, which at least raise (reasonable doubt( like in an American jury trial or a murder: the prosecution has to prove the murderer did it, and the de ense only has to instill reasonable doubt in the jury in order to get him or her o the hook' 5o ar, science has been working the other way around: you have to prove you(re right, they can tackle you wherever they see a possibility to create doubt in the scienti ic nature o your claims' And thus, the world o science has somehow maneuvered itsel into isolation, because the only thing the (normal( people in the streets can do is read the articles about the science, and then determine whether they believe them or not, simply because they are not luent in the language the message was given in' Dowever, it is said that humans can only take into account seven things at a time' I we have no trouble believing that, is it then so di icult to believe that the tools the -osmos gave us have this seven) old structure built into their very core& I believe I(ve shown at least this: that the same structure appears e!ually in geometry, mathematics, and even language' And it doesn(t stop there: do you think bees just came up with the honeycomb structure all by themselves& 9ope, they have similar connections to the hive mind, to the -osmos' /ut let(s just come up with a ew more interesting combinations o words' I know that sometimes you don(t !uite get the combinations you want, because one word seems to be le t over, or because you are one short' 4ust remember that in the end divisions are trivial, and a word you may think its, could actually just as well it an adjacent 5even5phere, or actually be one o the si8 additional spheres in the :D orm o the set' Is it not reminiscent o mitosis, that the si8 e8tra spheres almost make up the seven re!uired to create the second cell& Page 41 of 77

matter how much you are trying to pick the right one, it need not be that o the sender' Dere too, there is relativity, just like Einstein talked about in his work' 3nly this time, it is the relativity between sender and message, and the relativity between message and receiver' Add to that the relativity between the message and any observer passing by, and you(ve got a pretty in inite number o possibilities0 And you can go e8ploring in your past as well: just notice how per ectly in tune your avorite o music is with you0 It may be !uite obvious, because you playing that music has o course trained your neural net to love it, but at the same time you may well have encountered moments that you passed by a record store, went in and came out ive minutes later with new music, totally selected because o a sleeve design, or a suggestive album title' Dappened to me !uite re!uently, and there is one such shopping spree I want to recount here as well: I headed into town one day, and stopped at the local music story to buy a ew -D(s' I(d shopped without watching my budget, but had added up the prices so I(d know what to pay' At the cash register, the clerk mentioned an amount that was signi icantly lower than what I e8pected0 9ow how o ten does it happen that the end amount is less than you e8pect& %eaving the store, I immediately yanked a ew computer discs rom a rack across the street, which also indicated a certain price to me' *o my utter astonishment, the second sales guy also knocked o one o the prices, because he couldn(t ind one o the disks in the computer any more0 *wice in a row, did I eel lucky& 7ep0 9ow I had seen the -asio camera watch on the #eb, priced too steeply to be attractive' 9owadays it would be cripple, with its 62J862J pi8el gray)scale camera, but back then it was a gadget' 3n the o chance and my incredible luck that day, I entered the nearest jeweler(s store, and in!uired a ter the ni ty gadget' /elieve it or not, the guy across the counter not only knew what I was talking about, but he actually had one in store, and asked a price or it that was substantially lower than the prices I(d seen on the #eb0 9ow what are the odds that such a cheap trick happens three times in a row& 5uch positivity will have you wanting to tell everyone about it, but be warned: not everyone will believe such stories, and their disbelie might pull you down again as well' 4ust keep in mind that there are In inities o realities, and we need not especially e8ist all in the same one' #hat we choose to perceive and what we choose to do simply aligns us with those beings and situations that are conducive to us getting where we want to go' *he only thing that can possibly spoil our plans, are our own thoughts and actions0 7ou get what you give0 And yes, we get ar more syncs than the ones we ask or0 4ust this week, I parked my bicycle in the subterranean storage, and mounted the concrete stairway like I do every workday' 3n the top o the stairs, parked in such a Page 41 of 77

against religions& In a way, yes: I eel like any religion is nothing else than some person(s ideas o what eels right, caught in a ree1e rame because they tried to capture it in rules or others to adhere to' And all the while, the highly dynamic and incredible machine called the -osmos develops with every ree will choice any one o us make0 .emember In inity& It(s the condom that envelopes the -osmos, so to speak' In initely strong, in initely thin, even non)e8istent0 /ut every choice we make, whether it is in our common consensus reality or our deepest and most cherished dreams, adds to the si1e o it' I si1e is an attribute o In inity, that is''''' 5o decide, i you want to live by the choices o others, or your own' Either way it(s you doing all the deciding, or the not deciding' /ut remember even deciding not to choose is a choice in itsel ' 5o no matter what you do, the -osmos grows like it always has, and always will'

At least, not any more than you are0 7es, I know this will take some getting used to, since we all know the side o being that tells us that we are not enough, that we will never be enough' And you know, that is merely because In inity sucks0 9o matter how ast we grow, how much we develop, how speedily we evolve, we(ll never be able to completely ill In inity0 #e always igured that All was 3ne, and 3ne was All, and the Hoid was something completely di erent0 /ut it is not0 *he Hoid or Hacuum is simply the tension between our inite concepts and the In inity o the All' It is the thin layer o soap that separates the bubbles o all si1es that make up our .ealities' %ike our heavenly bodies appear to e8ist on the boundary o some huge spatial set o soap bubbles, they appear to e8ist in 1ero)G only because o the per ect e!uilibrium between immense black holes, which aren(t all that easily detectible' /ecause o that, our gala8ies, stars and planets remain in their places' 9ow don(t believe that this little bit o knowledge came to me out o the blue' *here is only one memory that partially tells me about its origin: I read about this in a paperback years ago, when I was still reading massive amounts o books' *hat should have been somewhere around 6QB2' It was a semi)scienti ic book, that combined many scienti ic tidbits, amongst which was work rom 5tephen Dawking and .oger ;enrose' I(m not sure which scientist was ultimately the source o what I(m now e8plaining, but what was told, was that the celestial bodies were observed to be distributed about space as i they were all aligned to the soapy sur ace o huge bubbles o nothing, but that no one could as yet e8plain where the massive amounts o e8tra mass were, that were responsible or keeping everything e8panding the way we think it is' At the time, I was labbergasted: how could it be that no one had yet seen the missing mass& #ith my college education complete, and my visually oriented mind, I could simply see it at the centers o those immense empty spaces that the te8t called the bubbles' %et(s just look at the normal image or soap bubbles irst, to re resh our image o them:

Page 64 of 77

9ow think back to gravity, and what you learned in school about it: in order to calculate the e ect o gravity, we are allowed to imagine the center o mass o a body to contain the ull mass' Granted, or astrophysical purposes the assumption is !uite valid, where we are outside the object, and potentially !uite a distance rom it' /ut just try to ollow what happens when you enter the sphere o in luence or the mass' I(ve already described that in my second novel, or rather in the novel that the main character o the second novel was reading' /ut it warrants repetition here because I wouldn(t want to orce you to read that novel irst' It is science iction, whereas this is realistic' 4ust see a planet as a inite number o molecules, which each are subject to gravity by themselves' 5eeing the mass as centered in the middle o the planet would be 3C, i we were outside the planet' /ut what i there was an elevator going straight through the center o the planet& %et(s just get on and step inside it, pressing the down button to travel to the center o the Earth, and beyond' It will be barely perceptible at irst, but i you went through the trouble o bringing your scales, you(d ind that your weight would drop the urther you descended' Great way to lose weight, but un ortunately it is not you but your relationship to the planet that is changing: as more and more o its molecules take up positions above your person, their contribution to your weight will become inverted, working upwards rather than downwards0 7es, i you were to actually travel to the center o the Earth, you(d ind that you were weightless, rather than crushed by the total mass o it' In the novel inside the second novel, this concept is used to make plausible that Earth, and indeed many planets may be hollow, with inside gravitational pull being a little less than the outside gravitational pull, simply because you would always have about hal the planet above your head, rather than all o it below your eet' *his also sheds a bit more light on the main characters space travel into and out o a black hole: even there, at the center, gravity would be 1ero0 9ow in an In inite -osmos, you(d never be outside all mass'''' 5o is this why weightlessness appears to be prevalent in outer space& 5imple: like we were weightless inside Earth because all mass was around us in all directions, we are also surrounded by All $ass in this in inite -osmos' Earlier I told you that any point is the middle o In inity, so perhaps or all intents and purposes we should all be weightless as well' /ut we are not, simply because being on a planet, we are inside a local distortion o kinds, which I(m about to e8plain'

9ow le t and right are the centers o two o those huge space bubbles' /etween the two o them, there is what %agrange called the %agrangian point: the point where gravity rom le t and right cancel each other out' As ar as these massive black holes go, their resulting gravity on the celestial bodies in the middle may be neglected' 7es, the %agrangian point is no point, but a plane, much like the soapy sur ace that separates two soap bubbles' 9ow keep in mind that the law o gravity states that the orce o gravity e!uals: @=Gm 6m2<d2 9ote how the most in luential component is the one that is s!uared, or in other words, the e ect o gravity is reduced by the s!uare o the distance between the masses' *hat implies, that nearer masses have a substantially higher e ect on gravity than the much larger but way more distant masses' $aybe you have some di iculty envisioning it, but that means that the orces o gravity between the smaller masses on the middle line are more in luential than the ar more distant huge masses' #hat happens because o this, is that the local gravity at the %agrangian plane becomes a sort o glue +soap&, which keeps the masses in a layer o a certain thickness, where the thickness is determined by the amount o locali1ed mass' Any local mass that somehow leaves the plane is pulled back in because its brethren are still stable in their position on the plane' 5o yes, In inity sucks rom le t and right, just like local gravity keeps us caught in its plane o e8istence between the various completely balanced massive black holes' /ut what you may have noticed, is that our travels through the -osmos are in no way restricted by that prison o our minds' #e can do anything we pretty well please, without being a raid o the conse!uences' 7ou want to be like 9eo, de ying gravity and any other human or physical law& It is possible, if you believe it' 2*hey all all the irst timeE, remember& And you(ll keep alling, as long as you ocus on the concept o ailure' #e know the thought o 2not being good enoughE, but now it(s time to go the road less traveled'
