The Metaphysical Origin of the Universe

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. more »
