The unnameable or a vision of the world without observers.

Mar 102013

In other words, what would the universe be like if there were no human beings? It would not have a name, no attributes; it would not make any sense. It would be as it is. What does that mean? It means just that, nameless. All the mountains, plains, animals, plants, seas, planets, stars, galaxies, empty spaces, quasars, black holes, etc. etc. and all of the thousands of other names which we have given to its various parts, these are all products of our imaginations, they are our inventions, only names, nothing more.

What does this mean? It means that all of the descriptions, definitions, ideas and representations which we have made for ourselves of the world, are only “ours”, including the definition that the world “is as it is”. We are the ones who describe the world and not the other way round. We are the ones who have an idea of the world, and not the other way round. We are the ones who are prisoners inside the world! Our vision is subjective and has nothing to do with whether it corresponds to reality or not. It is subjective, end of story. Realism, any type of realism, in this case, is always and in any case subjective realism, human, as we observe things.

The Big Bang

The beginning: nothing, not a noise, not a stirring, not a soul, the universe begins in absolute darkness and silence.

I First image: timeless and lifeless, the space does not exist yet, all is dense, tense, then, suddenly, bamm!, the big bang;

II Second image: a billionth of a billionth of a second after the big bang, when time and space begin, the universe is a concentration of pure energy;

III Third image: within an instant, the universe begins to expand and quarks and antiquarks, the building blocks of matter that give rise to protons and neutrons, start to be formed;

IV Fourth image: 20 seconds from the beginning of the universe, a dense cloud with a temperature of 300 million degrees is formed;

V Fifth image: 3 minutes from its beginning, protons and neutrons bind to form the first atoms of helium and hydrogen;

How many of our ancestors through the centuries, have asked this question? Surely not many. Until recently, one lived the life they lived, good or bad, one just just lived. Today views have changed. The values of the past – the belief of design, in destiny, in the homeland, the monarchy, rulers, the family, ideologies - are all beliefs that are no longer certain and can no longer be a basis on which to place our lives.

How can we, however, now, answer this hellish question of ‘has life meaning’? Because it is hell to make sense of, to find some attributes to justify our presence on this earth, we invent worlds, and of these fabrications none ever managed to fully meet our doubts and our need for knowledge and certainty. Furthermore we have and continue to butcher each other in the name of answering this question from hell.

Sense and nonsense, have a long history, a story that comes from afar, it is this story and this distance that we now want to talk about.

This should be the motto of mankind - One for all and all for one -, but is it? No, it isn’t. At this precise moment, all over the planet, millions of children, adults and elderly people are dying of hunger: they are our brothers, they are similar to us and they too, like us, are condemned to the same fate: death! In this precise moment destruction and desertification is going on in every corner of the earth: fewer forests, lesser life, more and more concrete. At this precise moment the sea is becoming more polluted: fewer fish, lesser life and more and more signs of desolation. All over the planet, at this precise moment, the hatred between rich and poor grows catastrophically and injustice increases everywhere.
