this morning I’ve dedicated a half an hour (the whole of it) to finding out “where are we coming from”. and, of course, I know it all now.
However, I decided to share with you something even more important than that. Because, while reading about the nothingness, the origin of the universe and the big bang theory, a little question struck me as being quite cute: why was there a big bang at all?
I mean, if the nothingness was fine and well, no headaches, no nothing, why wouldn’t it stay like that: a nice, big, headache-free nothingness?
And the answer (ok, at least the one I wanted to get) was pompously put: because of the entropy (these physicists have a special gift to come up with funny names for regular stuff). this “entropy” is actually, the good, old, familiar Disorder.
In other words, the nothingness (which people who know more physics than me say that it’s as much in order as it gets) got bored of being so in order and created lots of stuff. Some of them, dare I say, slightly more significant than the human specie. I know: it’s hard to imagine what. let’s just mention our galaxy, our planet, and our cat (arguably).
Ok, hope you’re still with me. Because only now I get to what I really wanted to say….
And that’s that (apparently) not even the nothingness can stay still, and in order; things by their nature tend to get in dis-order. and that’s NATURAL. I mean: normal, fine. OK!
We try to get things in order, under control, forgetting that it’s normal that they’d change, that they are meant to get in dis-order. and that that’s OK.
This little slip of memory: that, things, by their nature tend to search for dis-order creates the stress. not sure you’ve heard of it: it’s a sort of headache- which I’m sure that the nothingness when decided to create us, didn’t mean it.
So, have a wonderful week-end. embrace entropy and let me know how you’ve done it (if you care).
