Ugly Fundamental Physical Truth

Neglect of the physical dimensions of natural phenomena is among the causes of some errors which cause the current persistent worldwide misconstruction.

For instance, life's motive appears to be closely related to the growth of crystals. This arises from the nature of genetic material in cell nuclei which, composed of long sequences of molecules arranged in regular sequences, exhibits crystalline order. It is the crystal arrangement of atoms that allows genetic molecules the extra dimensionality that arises from nuclear resonance.

Nuclei of stable atoms have what one would call a great extension in the time domain. They are always at the very smallest magnitudes of length and distance. The trade-off between distance and time, implicit in the motion of light, and constrained to the short distances of the nuclear scale, is why the nuclear time domain is so extended. This extension into the time dimension is brought to the surface, and into living organisms, in crystal resonance, and the fields of crystals thus have considerable extension in the time domain. That is why life is intrigued with time.

Human beings fancy immortality, and dream of it, built pyramids to struggle for it, yet kill the Sequoia and Redwoods that have attained much more of it than we already. Humans fancy numbers, but algae have attained them - yet humans mindlessly insist on it for themselves, never counting that the fundamental dimensions of size mean something in that argument.

Life is a nuclear phenomenon, that displays its variety and activity from the physical dimensions of space, time and order which exist in atomic nuclei. It is not easy to create a world of variety, beauty and intelligence. It takes billion of years. Saying that the Earth was "made" by somebody's Daddy a few thousand years ago is philosophically a criminal act that should be punished by law. We as human beings have responsibility not for a world which Daddy can fix for us every time we break something. We have a responsibility for a world that evolved in no other way than through billions of years of time. Life on Earth is a precious antique heirloom, not a triviality bestowed for the purpose of his popularity by some pharaoh, emperor or king.

However, crystals also have other attributes, properties, and qualities and they demonstrate other phenomena. One of them is growth. Crystals are well known for the way they grow when in solutions that contain the particles of which they construct themselves. Crystals differ greatly in their hardness, and some excellent examples exists of solutions in which two different kinds of crystals can grow in the same solution.

When two crystals of different hardness are grown in the same solution, the harder, tougher crystal literally crashes through the softer, yielding object disrupting its structure and pushing it out of the way. That is exactly why living organisms are at tooth and claw in nature: they are compelled by the very crystalline nature of genetic material, to grow and, when they encounter each other, the tougher organism wins.

Reproducing and increasing in number or in sheer physical size, the harder organism usually wins. This pattern is as fundamental as ice breaking rocks and sidewalks. It is a pattern well known in the military sciences.

That is why the human overpopulation problem is going to be very difficult to solve, and why it won't yield to superficial reasons. That is why it is already known as a tough problem that is going to require tough decisions.

Yet thinking only of winning is not going to solve the problem of overpopulation of the planet. That will result only in a planet overpopulated with tough, hard people who have killed and eaten everything that makes life interesting on Earth.

This too is a problem fraught with fundamental absolutes. Until mankind tamed fire and began to use it for cooking, organisms ate each other alive and kicking, or recently killed in one-on-one competition, leaving the scraps and remains to organisms that had adapted to scavenging. Some organisms fared better than others; by being tougher, or faster, or better concealed, they could resist attack.

The human development of fire in cooking made it possible to eat anything that lived and call it food. By now we can eat every kind of organism on the planet, and the malicious, murderous slaughter of wildlife for that purpose demonstrates it with revealing clarity. The number of sentient beings in bewildering variety of species that have been savagely reaped or mined like so much plant material or dirt is mind-numbing in the scale of its tragedy. Those merely appearing at any one time as having suffered catastrophic losses are an outrage, and the accumulated list of destroyed species in the hundreds. Many of these species are by now extinct or doomed to extinction, and will not appear again on Earth, ever.

The idea that some redeeming good in the universe must be dedicated to saving mankind is insufferably destructive with its abnegation of human responsibility for the planet. There is nothing preventing the human race from destroying the entire biosphere on Earth, except for the possibility that human war might be better.

If it goes badly, then human overpopulation continues until little remains except the human infestation, the human pestilence, the human plague, the human swarm; the killing of sentient beings as if they are dirt, the cooking with heat fire everything that moves or dreams on the earth, are all likely to continue until planet Earth look like Jupiter's moon Io and with not much left to show for it.

Several species have been around the galaxy three times, many others, twice. Human beings have not been in existence so much as a tenth of one time around the galaxy. If human beings take responsibility for what the sum total of all human beings do, we can perpetuate the heavenly place Earth already was for a billion years and more. Certain absolutely tough, difficult decisions would have to take place in order to do that. These decisions are forever.
