¶ Space
Index Entry
Space:
"In view of their limited range capabilities in respect to the electromagnetic spectrum and the relative rates of transformation which we speak of as motion, it is not surprising that the passengers aboard the skyship Earth make the mistake of talking about, ‘Space’ which is as meaningless as ‘up’ and ‘down.’ There is no static geometry. There are momentarily existant geometrical relationships. There are events and lack-of-events. The electromagnetic spectrum is a manifest of the gamut of unique frequencies of event recurrence. There are no ‘solids,’ no ‘surfaces,’ no ‘continuums,’ no straight lines or planes. We have only events and no-events-- the events being finite and their energies limited. . . .
“We are talking about no event, so let us contract those two words into one word, novent, meaning nothing occurs.”
