An Order of Pi on the (dark)Side

dE : dM = π : 1

dE = darkEnergy; dM = darkMatter

NASA Pi Chart?

NASA Pie Chart (dE, dM, m)

Note: This is seemingly true only because of the widespread misperception that the universe is expanding, and because of our failure to see galactic field integrity as a critical factor in the system’s rotational momentum, with the poles of the field being defined by the orientation of its Hawking ex-vortices and its “dark” mass being distributed according to each galaxy’s interaction with its neighbours.

Current NASA data tallies roughly 73%/23%/4%, respectively (see “pi” chart).

As data collection, comparison and amalgamation grow ever more precise, the numbers should shake out like this (rounded to 0.0000):

dE = 72.7131…%

dM = 23.1453…%

m = 4.1416…%

(Given as % of all gravitationally-affective materials/forces.)
Note that mass totals [π+1]% of the sum of itself, dE & dM.

If dE and dM really existed, this would actually be cool!

Interpreting Sacred Texts

 

Scripture is a transcript of our dialogue with the divine. Its pages reflect the light of G-d, but are not the source of it. Its words, long ago recorded and faithfully copied, persist in a world of evolving context, challenging our ability to construe their truest meaning. Compassionate insight, reverence, and rigour are required of those who would interpret it well.

Who is deserving?

 

Compassion flows through us to those in need, but only if we allow it.

It cannot be saved for another day, or for a person we deem worthy.

Given freely, it can never be depleted. Conserving it, our capacity to

engage it is diminished. Compassion reserved is compassion denied.

Empathy, Compassion & Pity

Empathy is a feeling of concern provoked by observing the suffering of another.

Compassion conflates this emotion with action (or beneficial inaction) appropriate to mitigating the perceived distress.

Pity may result from empathy and may resemble compassion, but it is absent of the requirement to acknowledge the sufferer as an equal.

Because of this, the works of pity are always sullied to some degree by its remote, subtly contemptuous nature. Whereas pity emphasises the distance between us, compassion dissolves it.

When You’re Just Not Crazy Enough

“We in the back are convinced your theory is crazy. But what divides us is whether it is crazy enough to have a chance of being correct. My own feeling is that it is not crazy enough.” 
Niels Bohr to Wolfgang Pauli, on behalf of the “gang at the back” –
Columbia University, 1958. The remark was made by Bohr at the
conclusion of Pauli’s presentation of a non-linear field theory
of elementary particles developed by Werner Heisenberg and
himself. Pauli may have unintentionally invited the comment
when he allowed that the idea “might look” crazy.
