The Universe
Created | Updated Oct 28, 2007
This entry is a rather complex one. The ideas presented here may be difficult for you to grasp, unless you are either incredibly hoopy or already familiar with the concepts I am about to present.
The Universe is actually quite a simple thing to understand. That is, once you accept that it does not exist. This idea tends to be 180 degrees to almost everything that you have been taught here on Earth, and upsets many people who like to think that there is a God out there looking after them. It is a commonly known fact that “you accept the world with which you are presented.” What I am trying to tell you is that this world or Universe is not actually being presented to you, you are just imagining it. (Clearly, it is the second part, the accepting which presents the difficulties)
Most of you should by now be familiar with the average population of the Universe and its affects on the population of planets. For those who aren’t, here is quite a simple explanation:
“It is known that there are an infinite number of worlds, simply because there is an infinite amount of space for them to be in. However, not every one of them is inhabited. Therefore, there must be a finite number of inhabited worlds. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near to nothing as makes no odds, so the average population of all the planets in the Universe can be said to be zero. From this it follows that the population of the whole Universe is also zero, and that any people you may meet from time to time are merely the products of a deranged imagination.”
From this you can create the connection between an individual atom and the non-existence of the Universe. For example, if you take your average atom (say, Nitrogen) and enlarge it to the size of a football field, the Nucleus would be about the size of a golf ball and the electron(s) would be tiny little balls, zipping around the edges. I seem to be getting off track; this does not deduce the “existence” of the Universe, merely its structural support.
For the universe to simply be the product of a deranged imagination, things become a little more confusing…
If an atom can be anywhere in the universe then that is an infinite amount of space for it to be in. This one atom is a finite number of atoms and so if we apply the same rules here; dividing a finite number by infinity we get such nothingness as not worth bothering about and end up again with an answer telling us that there is no chance that this atom could be in an infinite amount of space and therefore it cannot exist in the universe, meaning that zero atoms exist in the universe and therefore the universe does not exist. Any tables, chairs, buildings, planets, people or cups of tea you may happen to meet from time to time are merely the byproducts of a very deranged imagination.
