Man as a Function of Universe:
"it’s called by the mathematicians’ law of the increase of the random element. So we have a physical Universe which is locally everywhere becoming more and more disorderly. There must, by my inference of what scientists have found out about fundamental structure, be some kind of complementarity to this coming & part in a disorderly way. Because, by coming apart in this disorderly way, it of course takes up more room. Therefore it’s an expanding Universe and it becomes inferred that there must be some phase of the Universe where the phenomena are contracting and becoming increasingly orderly. And if we look for that, we shall see that all the stars which are observable are light objects, and therefore they represent that energy being given off in a diffuse and disorderly way. And we look for some black body where energy may be collected. We only find one that we know anything about and that’s our spaceship, Earth. Our spaceship Earth we discovered in the Geophysical Year is receiving approximately 100,000 tons of stardust daily. We’re very much increasing our avoirdupois: the Universe is collecting here. And we find, then, life being regenerated on our Earth.
"In order to have life regenerated, more energy must be taken on
