Analysis of The Metaphysical Origin of the Universe

Karl Constantine FOLKES 1935 (Portland)



Imagine this now:
Without the Non-physical
Having existence,
Nothing could ever exist.
That is plain metaphysics.

Singularity.
Is another expression
Of all energy
That is potential for Life
Of “Big Bang” made kinetic.

The two energies —
Potential and Kinetic
Emerging as One
Is how life forms came about.
Physics of Non-physical.

A new science asked:
Physics of Non-physical.
A metaphysics.
Grand Theory of The All.
Of Nothing and Everything.

About this poem

A new and more advanced theory of general relativity is required to explain the origin of the universe. According to the standard theory, the universe sprang into existence as a “Big Bang” singularity around 13.7 billion years ago. But this Big Bang theory can only account for the manifest physical or material existence of a universe, or probably of an hypothetical multiverse, including its cosmic microwave manifestation in the form of electromagnetic radiation, that exists as a combination of matter and motion. Examined microscopically, it is recognized that “matter” in its largest metaphorical sense, includes elegant notions of “time,” “space,” “energy,” and “mass” which , themselves, appear as non-physical abstractions of combinations of inertia and “gravity” (itself, another abstraction); or of the physical and the non-physical properties of the universe. Ultimately, it is the interplay of “pure energy” (Potential Energy) and “particles” (Kinetic Energy), in conjunction with “radiated energy “ (Thermal Energy), that appears to bring life into its manifest existence. Clearly, a more robust Einstein’s scientific theory of the origin of the universe is required to more adequately account for the observed non-physical energy potential aspects (“Dark Matter”) that are apparently a-causal factors of an ever rapidly expanding universe.
