Remaking America by George Shollenberger, Idea XXXXXX (Changing the World from Mechanism to Holism, VIII)

The concepts, space and time are abstracts of the Mechanists and Atheists. Thus, they say that an infinite world can produce a multiplicity of different universes. Each universe begins at time = 0, with a ‘Big Bang’ explosion, and ends at a time = n, with a heat death. But why do we see a dark background in the evening sky? And what is the cause of red color every direction we look into the sky? And if our sunlight bends when our sun is eclipsed, isn’t space really curved?

When Nicholas of Cusa sought the meaning of the concept ‘maximum,’ he found that this concept cannot be less than maximum, otherwise it would not be maximum. So he found that maximum is also minimum. Interestingly, one can distinguish God from our universe using the concepts maximum and minimum. Let me show them.

Note. A circle contains a maximum and minimum. The circumference is maximum and the center of the circle is minimum. In the pic of the circle below, the circumference and the center of the circle are found in God. Now, change the circle into a sphere. All things created by God will be found in the space between the surface of the sphere, which is God, and the center of the sphere, which is also God. The pic of the rough sphere below shows an example of our universe if we could step out of the universe.

Kepler used the circle to define the least energy orbits of the planets. He found the least energy orbits of the first five planets by using Plato’s five nested solids. The five solids and their nesting are shown in the two pics below. Of course, the Mechanists and Atheists are not interested in the works of Cusa or Kepler because they might find God.

In Donald Andrews’ book on "The Symphony of life," the last four chapters discuss ‘The Nature of the Universe.’ In these chapters, the infinite world, space, and time of the Mechanists and Atheists are destroyed. Instead, Andrews proposes a single world. This world includes God and His creation. The creation is filled with structured things that are found with the transfinite numbers of Georg Cantor. Thus, my book and Andrews’ book have no disagreements.
