Always and Forever

itself to you. So much for everything and nothing.

If nothing exists only in concept why did I call it a constant of reality? Can you conceive of a reality without the nothing? What would that look like?

Every process meant to put things in balance would end up leaving something behind, a little tail you wouldn’t be able to shake and which would get in the way of things all the time. You could never solve an equation, balance a chemical formula, or bring motion to a stop. Reality would look like a messy garment, made by a lazy tailor who didn’t care enough to tidy up the loose threads.

What if it really looks that way? Then we’re all wasting our time here. Just do anything whatsoever whenever you like! Oh, wait! Time would have little tails and loose threads too, so you wouldn’t be able to do that, not with any level of consistency. But what if it really looks that way? What if this is one of those things reality cloaks from our sight because we’re unable to understand it? I don’t know. See, this is the thing about science: it models the things we already understand. I can only present to you explanations for the things you know exist. One of those pesky side effects of the rule that says time must run in a straight line and in one direction.

Were we past that point in our history where this ceased to be a well known fact, I could discuss it with you, but as of now, I can’t. If I can make an observation (take it as my opinion, nothing more), it will be that whatever you are sure you know will be proven wrong at some point. This gets easier to accept this once you know you should expect it.
