Cosmic Implications of "It All"

Why the Universe will not ever be fully explained by science.

All of existence is an interactive, interrelated and interconnected dynamical process. This essay will seek to discuss this dynamic process in relatively simple terms with the intention of describing the discrete forces of existence from a metaphysical point of view. This writing will also attempt to weave the concept of fusion, in particular, the melding of universal forces concerning both its tangible and intangible aspects. In order to travel through this dimension of space and time, this inquiry will sojourn through cosmic existence in an effort to mind-map the existential collective conscious and subconscious. It is fully expected that the odyssey of this work will commence with the origins of the cosmos as posited scientifically. A major theme weaved throughout will be the comparison of the nature of humankind to that of existence. Finally, an eventual outcome will be described and posited as a notion cloaked in idealism, a Utopian reality.

Introduction

All there is is quite a lot to know. Perhaps to know everything is to know the mind of G-d? Yet, even with scientific inquiry, we do not ever really know anything. I do not have my sight set on the lofty aim or ambition of proving anything in this writing. Fortunately, I do not have to bear the burden of proof in this endeavor, as there is nothing that can be truly proven or wholly known. Science is not a means of obtaining absolute truth. Facts may be regarded as indisputable; theories are not Brian Silver. Any theory that seems to sit for a while (however long a while is) does so on the basis that it has never been disproven, and that when tested experimentally, simply seems to work.

A specific example of this is regarding Isaac Newton's theory of gravity. At a higher level, Newton's system of mechanics was true for a couple of centuries It was shown to be lacking, to be an approximation to a new truth Brian Silver. Literally, Newton's theory regarding the Universal Law of Gravity went uncontested for more than 200 years, until which time Albert Einstein came along and disproved his theory. Einstein gave us a theory called General Relativity, which completely shifted the paradigm of our conceptual understanding of gravitational forces from straight to curve - and with this shift we experienced a more pristine understanding of the functionality of the cosmos. We discovered a new or fresh perspective on viewing
