The Birth of Religion - Part 5
by Seeker
When we reach down into the tiniest things of the universe, into realms that even the math says are the tiniest things possible, it is natural to be uncertain as to the reality of what we imagine. Strings are so tiny, there is not only no experiment to verify them, we haven’t yet thought of a possible experiment that could work.
One of the finest ‘microscopes’ we have is the electron microscope; it streams electrons at things and we ‘read’ the results on a screen. Streaming electrons at a string is like trying to identify a piece of wool by throwing Jupiter size planets at it. Only worse.
But the theory says if strings are there, they vibrate. In their vibration they create the particles of which we have evidence. The ancients and mystics have talked for millennia of the Song of the Universe and it appears they may have known more than we give credit for. The orchestra is all of the cosmos, the players every piece of mass and energy, the score is mathematics and the music is the combination and interaction across time and space that produces Consciousness.
It may be that our task, as Conscious beings, is to simply appreciate the symphony of creation, to be the audience to an orchestra beyond the wildest imaginations of Beethoven and Bach. Or it may also be that we are here to bring harmony into the Sounds of Chaos, to so order our lives and our paths that we impose scale and beauty on what might otherwise be chaotic dissonance.
Another facet that the Theory of Strings http://www.superstringtheory.com/ brings up is it still doesn’t have a built-in description of awareness. In fact, in Quantum theory, awareness seems to be a required part of the schema; a necessary part of collapsing the probability matrix that is the quantum potential into a settled ‘state’ that then makes up our universe.
