Chronology - 6.00

Q4P / Igniting Big Bang Q4P∞ splits the (hypothesized) Zero-Point and ignites the Big Bang.

[The Big Bang 13.8 billion years ago.]

Meaning, Potential, not Random Chance, and not some spontaneous genesis - per Wheeler and his disciple Lloyd ignites the entire dynamic at Eternal Origins

[ From a metaphysical perspective, splitting the ZeroPoint, as well yields polarities: Matter:Anti-Matter... Pluses:Minuses... Good:Evil... proto-Female:proto-Male... et al..... ]

Keeping the profound relatively simple - as is Birnbaum's want he ignites the Big Bang by having Q4P 'split ZERO'. At Chronology 6.00 we finally arrive at the pivotal point, 13.8 billion years ago, when Q4P was finally unleashed in the form of the physical universe.

The Big Bang was officially ignited after so much planning. The fracturing and split of Birnbaum's Splitting-ZERO Big Bang

Trigger also ushered in the distinctive duality of the Potentialism driven universe.

Mathematically, what happened was the only reasonable thing that could occur. When you have nothing, you have zero. How do you make something from nothing? In simplest terms +1 and -1 are both something with a sum of 0. That is: -1 +1 = 0. The truth is as absurdly simple as it is inescapably true. Quantum Physics has even confirmed, in scientific terms, Birnbaum’s metaphysics in that we know matter and anti-matter are created and self-annihilate frequently in the universe.

The difference here was that during Birnbaum's Splitting-ZERO Big Bang Trigger when Q4P split zero this first time, it had the force of Potential behind it to hold the negative and positive apart and keep them from annihilating each other – giving birth to the physical universe. In short, Q4P had a universe to make and only zero to work with – so it handily solved the problem by splitting it in half.

Literally and conceptually - 'Something' (our physical universe) out of 'Nothing' (zero).

As we covered recently, and as Birnbaum reasserts here, that duality would become a hallmark of the SuperFormula’s mark on the world, visible everywhere. Matter and anti-matter, positive and negative, light and dark, good and evil, the first 182

proto-man and proto-woman. This duality permeated everywhere.

Here though, we also make careful note just how we arrived at this point. Clearly the universe did not just appear. There was so much work needed beforehand that we’ve reviewed occurring in the Cosmic Womb before the Big Bang was remotely ready.

Also, we take good note that there is nothing random about the universe that was created. There is no chaos or entropy involved. Everything has been purpose designed, from the simplest rock to humanity to the rules of physics itself. It is also purpose designed to fulfill the role of the SuperFormula.

Wheeler and Lloyd had great successes working on theories regarding the nature of the universe and they did much to lay a physics template down to explain Potentialism. Cutting-edge physics has shadowed Birnbaum's metaphysics from the get-go (of Birnbaum's sequenced multi-volume Summa Metaphysica series publication). However, there were limits to what they could understand without metaphysics.

Neither John Wheeler (Princeton) nor Seth Lloyd (MIT) articulate:

a) where/how their respective proposed (inter-related) dynamics originated.

183

b) what animates it to continue / what 'breathes-fire' into it.

c) what is the purpose behind it.

d) in what context does it operate.

e) what are the implications of theory.

f) what is the role of humans in their theory?

g) does their theory not demolish Darwinism?

So, though they did much to mature the scientific study of Quantum Mechanics, they could not discern why the universe came to be, thinking perhaps it was some spontaneous genesis.

To get to the point of why, we needed a metaphysicist, Birnbaum, and a tried and tested metaphysical explanation of the universe’s Cosmic Origins. For that we needed Potentialism.

So, we see it is at this Big Bang point that Q4P morphs from a purely metaphysical construct to something that simultaneously resides both within the Cosmic Womb and within the new, physical world – with one foot in each so to speak. This is what allows Q4P to exert its will on the physical universe. It is also why we know the physical world is purpose built, not random. It is the result of Q4P ever pushing out for a more complex form of expression, as we will see.
