The law of conservation of mass and energy
•
The new law is called the law of conservation of mass and energy.
•
We could look at mass as just very high frequency energy.
•
Radiation is disassociative while collection is associative.
The whole system is limited and finite.
"UNIVERSE" is the minimum perpetual motion machine.
•
Humanity is a subsystem and a local pattern.
•
Local patterns have to be in phase.
•
For instance, copper from Northern Michigan in your spinach will make you healthy
•
while Copper in other ways will kill you as a poison, which is out of phase.
All patterns continually reassociate.
Let's get back to Hoyle and how nature increases:
The law of quanta says that when there is a high probability then there are fewer starts;
while a low probability of survival means a high number of starts.
•
In colonial days America's birth rate was high.
•
Each family
averaged 13 babies.
•
1 and 1/2 percent
more girls were born
in Serbia for 100 years
on the average; and then after
the war this switched to 1 and
1/2 percent more boys.
The Play's the Thing
We have always thought of the
Universe as a play that we watched.
Now we are a part of it.
•
Man is essential to Universe.
•
Someone or thing will carry on
universe if we don't.
•
There must be a cushion factor
somewhere.
•
An example is the overlap
between our use of atomic
fuels and the waste of our natural fuels.
•
The big question is:
WHAT SHOULD MAN BE DOING HERE IN UNIVERSE?
WHAT IS MAN DOING HERE IN UNIVERSE?
Norbert Weiner and Cybernetics
One idea of how to function comes from Norbert Weiner.
•
He came to the conclusion, "that man is the most important anti-entropic
functioner
