¶ Universe
Index Entry
… we must start with scientific fundamentals and that means with the data of experiments and not with assured axioms predicated only upon the misleading nature of that which only superficially seems to be obvious. It is the consensus of thought of those who have proven themselves to be great scientists that ‘science is the earnest attempt to set in order the facts of experience.’ Holding within their definition, we define Universe as: the aggregate of all humanity’s consciously apprehended and communicated, nonsimultaneous and only partially overlapping experiences. But all experiences are terminated, ergo, finite, An aggregatmm of finites is finite. Our Universe as defined is finite but nonsimultaneously conceptual. The single-frame picture of a caterpillar does not foretell its transformation into a butterfly. Nor does one picture of a butterfly tell the viewer that the butterfly can fly. Universe as defined is a scenario. Those who ask ‘what is outside Universe?’ are asking a single- picture question which is as ignorant as asking ‘which word is the dictionary.’ Summarizing, Universe is a finite but non-simultaneously conceptual scenario.
