Chronology - 15.00

At every stage/step of the unfolding Cosmic drama/order - from Eternal Origins thru the present day (and onward) Q4P∞ - the hitherto undiscerned dynamic is front & center, and, indeed, the driving dynamic.

Q4P∞ is the metaphysical spinal column of the arc of the universe.

Birnbaum concludes Chronology [Chronology1000.com] with a point-on observation. As we have seen through our initial, independent analysis of Cosmic Origins and through Birnbaum’s own account, we have seen something happen. It is consistent, always happening and at every level from the microscopic to the even the galactic scale.

There has been a previously unknown/undiscerned driver which keeps the universe pushing ever forward, consistently, to some specific goal. That is Q4P, which eternally fuels the universe’s evolution along the set path of Birnbaum's SuperFormula Q4P > C+ > E+.

Q4P∞, neatly nestled within the Cosmic Womb, had remained nearly unseen as physicists sought a driver that could be fully 216

explained with physical science. This left the cosmic driver essentially “hiding in plain sight”, as Birnbaum explains. It took Outsider Birnbaum to shake things up.

Looking both across the universe and through time itself, Q4P∞ has provided the “metaphysical spinal column of the arc of the universe.” Without Q4P’s constant presence, the universe would be aimless and unable to fulfill its own task of seeking its eventual goal - Birnbaum's Extraordinariation (E+).

Worse still, as we’ve seen, there could be no universe in the first place without the initial and overwhelming drive of Potential. Indeed, what seems like a subtle and patient force in how it guides the cosmos, Potential proved to have the raw power to create something from nothing. Or, as Birnbaum more accurately helps us understand – Potential created something from the universe’s own Potential from what it could be.

Finally, we find that Q4P protects the universe continuously from it all collapsing entirely. With nearly 70% of the universe comprised of the energetic push of Q4P itself (Dark Matter), the universe would have long collapsed under its own weight of being had it not been for Q4P constantly protecting it and driving to ever expand and grow in Complexity.

This makes calling Q4P the spine of the universe very apt. Without a spine, we collapse and cannot move onwards. 217

Without the metaphysical spine of the universe, the universe would likewise collapse and discontinue its journey.

Fortunately for all, Birnbaum has shown us that Q4P springs from eternity. The Potential/Q4P dynamic is the only thing that is eternal. That one is enough though, as it is what we need most to exist. So, the universe will safely go on, seeking its Extraordinariation for the rest of time or until it achieves its objective.
