hi my name is Tyrunt and I need a home!
Like and Reblog if you’re willing to welcome me in to your family!
0 = 1-1. What might it represent? That 1 and -1 add up to zero, of course. But that is interesting. Picture the reverse of the process: not 1 and -1 coming together to make 0, but 0 peeling apart, as it were, into 1 and -1. Where once you had Nothing, now you have two Somethings! Opposites of some kind, evidently. Positive and negative energy. Matter and antimatter. Yin and yang… ‘Opposites,’ [Peter Atkins] writes, ‘are distinguished by their direction of travel in time.’ In the absence of time, -1 and 1 cancel; they coalesce into zero. Time allows the two opposites to peel apart - and it is this peeling apart that, in turn, marks the emergence of time. It was thus, Atkins proposes, that the spontaneous creation of the universe got under way.
