Universe:
"Can we think of, and state adequately and incisively,
what we mean by universe? For universe is, inferentially, the biggest
system. If we could start with universe, we would automatically
avoid leaving out any strategically critical variables. We find
no record as yet of man having successfully defined the universe–
scientifically and comprehensively-- to include the nonsimultaneous
and only partially overlapping, micro-macro, always and everywhere
transforming, physical and metaphysical, omni-complementary but
nonidentical events.
"Man has failed thus far,as a specialist, to define the
microcosmic limits of divisibility of the nucleus of the atom,
but, epochally, as accomplished by Einstein, has been able to
define successfully the physical universe but not the metaphysical
universe. The scientist was able to define physical universe
by virtue of the experimentally-verified discovery that energy
can neither be created nor lost and, therefore, that energy is
conserved and is therefore finite. That means it is equatable.
