If Einstein is wrong it's by a few centimeters since it takes place inside a convincing illusion; the mirror of electromagnetism (logic, straight lines) that convinces the ego with math. The hermetic mathematical illusion of CERN is convincing only if one ignores the presence of a universal aether (as Einstein himself hinted).
The illusion was entered by Newton (C4-C6) and essentially says that the more visible things are the realer they are (HB173). Light detects differences, and the operating principle of CERN is to detect ever-more minute differences (particles).
As time goes by, this becomrs the equivalent of sameness, since the differences are more and more minute. One approaches what could be called the vanishing point of technique (light, illusion, perspective).
The universe we perceive with lenses (HB56) is real but also illusory, in that we approach the vanishing point of technique (where differences equal sameness). Another word for this is Apollo - or the false Apollo - since it is so convincing to the ego of acolytes.
If you apply this to DNA (neo-Darwinism) , again one detects differences on DNA (genes). The differences are minute and exist outside of primordial sameness, which is curvilinear naturalness (throat, hip, spine, joint P175).
We are told (by "them") that the differences exist in competitive terms, but this is only true outside of curvilinear naturalness - which is ACTUALLY reality.
Newborn cubs, for instance, will nuzzle into their mother's body and find the teats even with eyes still shut. It's the fertile order of natural ease and grace (and blood and prey).
A competitive order is essentially sterile because it does not recognize the fertility of curvilinear naturalness. This is where we are.
Differences become sameness because the differences (in competiting) are so minute (P175). In their primitive sameness, things can be different; they have interesting dynamism that is not competition but just has a vague affinity of otherness.
This universe is the one where dirt and cleanliness coexist because it is a product of strength. A medieval castle with the rushes spread around and hounds prowling is like a mini-ecosystem. Fragrances and oils abound; there are sometimes epic baths (see Valeria, prev.) An enlarged cave with hunting and falconry thrown-in, culturally retrospective and aristocratic.
Primitivism is the opposite to mindless advance into the mirror of illusions that attracts the ego. Where the reality becomes more mathematical and hence where differences become sameness.
I've never seen "Friends", but it's clear from a look at the set it's an everyman apartment of clinical tidiness. That's not wrong but it is a certain type of realism.
Taken to excess, it becomes clinical sameness that exists inside the mirror of illusions that approaches zero.
Viewed as cosmic scales, the universe is not ordered (light) or sterile, but balanced between sun and moon, male and female, day and night, predator and prey.
It's a belief in a cosmic balance, in fertility. One can believe in many things, but still
