"ONE SIZE FITS ALL"
Zappa and The Mothers of Invention's 1976 album hit - as noted previously - the apogee of 70s hippy-culture on the noggin. The cover of a cosmic sofa is genius-level of Bosch-like proportions.
On its sofa of sophistication, the western mainstream floats through a cosmos of certainties that confuse with half-truths. Prominent amongst the spokespeople of certainty are Musk and Thunberg, the Aspergers twins (unrelated to the Martian Castor and Pollux).
The certainty is electromagnetism - the electric-green future they have planned. We view the cosmos through a heavy-duty world of the head that is all too easily convinced by the mirror of illusions - light and electricity.
By cutting-off the physical world of springiness and mythic naturalism - the terrain of nymphs and dryads and niche - the lightness of psyche is lost. A dread sameness persists.
We supposedly live in resolved space such as DNA which is detected by light (x-ray diffraction, prev.) Light has the certainty of geometry and attracts the head of the acolyte that likes certainty.
On the other side of certainty is archetypal.naturalism - the subtle simplicity of the throat that sings, human or sparrow (Piaf).
Mythic naturalism is Diana the huntress who lopes beneath the baleful moon, hounds baying. The throat that roars; the teeth that tear; blood and the springiness of turf where rough paws lope.
The crude medium of decay and compost lurks beneath springy feet. The archetypal springiness is lost on the cosmic sofa whirling through vistas of facts and figures.
One of the biggest figurations of all is that posed by CERN: the particulate nature of reality. I had a short correspondence (course) with Vincent of UVS website (prev) which is worth repeating.
As noted in P170, photons are a form.of electromagnetism - albeit uncharged - and Vince notes..
The claim that a photon has no mass is analogous to the idea that sound has no mass. If physicists denounce the medium such as air whereby sound waves propagate, they could claim there is no substance in which the "massless sound particles" propagate st the speed of sound.
As noted awhile back, Einstein was inclined to believe in aether, and it makes good sense unless there are ulterior motives for not believing.
These motives are essentially that light (and hence electromagnetism) are innately geometrical. All particles have to be detected (in order to be seen to exist), and they have to be detected by light or electromagnetism.
CERN is a torus; in other words a geometrical construct. All the data it receives is detected geometrically in electromagnetism.
Science starts with light (Newton's knives, C4-C6) and that is the entry to the mirror of illusions. We've now reached the stage where the four forces - electromagnetism, weak and strong nuclear, gravity - are bring brought together by high-energy collision at CERN.
A neat example of this was the electroweak photon, the product of two.photons coalescing. What scientists (acolytes) assume is that there must be some ultimate equation of forces. That can only be so if particles exist WITHOUT an aether carrier.
If particles coalesce IN aether, the eather is the fundamental constituent that has primal spontaneity. Spontaneity is the one thing missing from.science but, after all, how can an equation tell God what to do?
That's hyperbole but the sacramental side of natural power is the stuff of mythical fecundity. The Innocent and the bestial. Red Riding Hood and the wolf.
What I'm basically saying is particles are a geometrical construct perceived through the sterile prism of electromagnetism. We are inside that world of half-truths.
Outside of pure geometry exists the vibrant area of aether and primitive power (see BWS The Ram and the Peacock). The primordial cosmos, what the Greeks might have called Eros or fecundity.
