What this means is that there can be no theory of
everything from a physical point of view. And
this brings us to the nature of all-inclusive as
against the authoritarian, sin and go to hell God
of the religions. God as The Infinite (Ralph Waldo
Trine) who is inside and outside the zero and
inbetween (see diagram below), is beyond human
imagination to grasp and so it is not possible
for any field of knowledge in which zero
and infinity are banned, as we have it in conventional
physics, to know God. That is one of the
challenges of the zero.
As if this is not frustrating enough for a
field of knowledge which is arrogating to itself,
if it can unify the four fundamental fources of
physics (not indeed that of Nature because these
forces result from reductionism) the ‚theory of
everything‘ Robert Kaplan begins his book with:
„If you look at zero you see nothing; but look
through it and you will see the world. For zero
brings into focus the great, organic sprawl of
mathematics, and mathematics in turn the
complex nature of things“(p.1). He continues on
other page with:
„While mathematics is first and foremost an art,
it is an art applied by science to unriddle the
world: and now zero will step out again as itself
to lead this unriddling“ (p.129), and ends the
book with:
„I write this in the midst of things, in the middle
of time. The world extends away on every side
[plus and minus], taking its coordinates from a
quiet center [0] fiftully seized as self, which, like
Wallace Steven‘s snowman, listens and beholds
Odenwald puts finality with:
„As we enter the twenty-first century, the scientific
investigation of space has begun to show
space as an almost incomprehensibly alien
landscape in which the rest of existence is embedded.
In the end, space ranks as the greatest
enigma that physical science has yet to confront.
It is the origin of time, mass, energy, and as far
as we can tell, even the universe itself. Both the
miraculous story of our origins and the bittersweat
glimpse of our destiny are written within its
dark tapestry.“ (p.13)
In the work on superchannel in this journal, how
everything is made of Space, Void or Nothing
which is Zero is shown. According to Odenwald,
„Only the Void can outlast us“ (p11) And it is in
this Void the dark energies that will circumscribe
our destiny are hidden (p.11)
The problem is that neither the classical
nor modern mathematics, with their number theory
and the algebras and geometries that derive
from them—and in reality all geometries are —
has the key to the secrets of the zero. While the
zero of classical and modern mathematics are
beyond physics, it is that the zero itself has an
inner world within and not just the outer world.
This zero, the creative potential zero (0) of
Transfigural Mathematics, which also contains
the zero of classical and modern mathematics is
shown below:.
Zero and the Making of Meaning
Nothing that is not there and the nothing
that is.“(p.219)
And what does that mean, Nothing that is not
there and the nothing that is, from which Kaplan
got the title of his book? It means „Nothing that
is not there [Being that is not] = (−). The
Nothing that is there [Being that is] = (+). Between
them is AND which unifies them. This is
zero. And this is the logic of fluid logic numbers
(-1(0)+1) = (-(0)+) or simply –0+ once we don‘t
forget that we are dealing with creative potential
zero (0), the seat of the zeroids. To all this,
