Single point:

a single point, and from this an entire universe appeared, or at least that’s the popular thought associated with the Big Bang — that a singularity, infinitely dense and full of energy, was just ready to expand in vast potentiality, an explosion of both time and space happening from this single point. Yet this description is somewhat misleading, really, it’s only a story told in scientific terms and even cosmologist are now telling it a different way. Stories always change as more evidence is gathered, that’s why science is an art, unafraid to express itself in new and challenging ways, offering different means to view the world that have never existed before. A theory is simply the process of a never ending work of art.

without the language of description….

a universe.

this isn’t meant to dismiss the language of the Big Bang, nor to argue the single point of energy and how it spread to bring the universe into existence. I’m not a scientist, even writing just the little that I have has already nearly exhausted my knowledge on the subject. Whatever I write is only my own expression offered, lyrical prose within a scientific view, it’s only another story told. But I am an intricate part of this story, intimate really, a key figure. We all are, each of us traced back by the elements of first creation, our origin is that single point…
