The Theory of Everything

Scientists at CERN in Switzerland have just managed to isolate the Pentaquark, a subnucleic particle, testing the boundaries of science and confirming predicted results experimentally. When I was young the world was made of atoms. You can't see atoms with the naked eye, but if you gather them together into molecules in large enough amounts you can feel them when they land on your head like an apple, or even a tree. I believed the scientists because they were cleverer than me, they could see atoms and I couldn't. When I was young the world was made by God. You can't see God with the naked eye, but if you look you can see his creation all around, and you can feel it when it lands on your head, like an apple, or even a tree. I believed in God because he could create things out of nothing, and I couldn't.

We live in exciting times. Every discovery by the scientists shows that mankind is getting cleverer and cleverer, understanding more and more. Each new discovery shows we are looking in the right direction, and whether it be understanding the first billionths of a second after the Big Bang, or looking into the furthest depths of the Universe, or looking into the inside of the inside of an atom, we learn what we already know, and that is God is nowhere to be found. And yet, I have my own theory, the one I call my Theory of Everything. Just as the scientists are working hard to try and unite all the theories of physics into one Grand Unified Theory, one that explains the movement of galaxies and gravity as well as the interactions between quarks and anti-quarks, gluons, gravitons, electrons and photons, I am working on my Theory of Everything to bring God into that Grand Unified Theory,.... a Super Grand Unified Theory.

I have looked on the Internet, and can find nothing that resembles my theory anywhere, which means I am either at the forefront with my thoughts and opinions, OR, which is more likely, my thoughts are so ridiculous that they are not worth considering. Yet I shall write them down to secure them and solidify them, and maybe one day someone else can improve on them. I am not able to back up my ideas with the necessary maths or physical formulas, no doubt this will be a weak point in my musings. On the other hand, the scientists all use formulas that have to be doctored, twisted and tweaked in some way in order to make their theories fit perfectly, and I hope to work in exactly the free space that those doctored, twisted and tweaked formulas leave behind to find God in Everything. Let's get things straight from the start. I am not talking about a white-bearded old man that sits in judgement over human souls and decides between Heaven and Hell, or an Allah that rewards and punishes either. In order for my God to work, he has to be the one and only God, Allah or Jehovah. (Though some of the writings in the Koran certainly come close to how I perceive the Grand Unifying God) The beauty of my God is that you don't have to believe in him either, not in the slightest. You can keep your faith, you can keep your religion, you can build your churches, mosques, temples, you can keep your wooden idols and voodoo dolls and rosary beads. Keep it all! And if you are an atheist, even better, because even you have a place in my God's heart, and vice versa. God is All! Eternal God! God is Everywhere! God is All knowing! God is the beginning and the end! We all know these sayings, some are written outside churches or in holy books, some are written on coloured badges on hippy girl's lapels or satchels or t-shirts, sometimes worn as a fashion statement rather than a spiritual or philosophical point of view. Others, or even the same people, have simple equations as badges, E=mc² or E=hv. These are relativistic and quantum mechanical statements that are the building blocks of modern physics. The two badges are, in my opinion, not mutually exclusive. It IS possible to believe in God and science, it is possible to believe in a Big Bang AND in a God created Universe. Approximately 13,798 Billion years ago, the Universe was an idea in the nothingness. Not the nothingness of outer space, not the nothingness of a vacuum, but the nothingness of non-existence. Not the opposite of everything, but the lack of anything. Matter did not exist, Nothing could not be measured. Energy was pure, pure energy, stored beyond the nothingness until :

BANG Energy became Matter.

The singularity containing all the energy in what would become the Universe, divided in two. God turned into Everything.

Think of something tiny... really really tiny. If you are thinking of a Hydrogen atom, think again, or divide it in two with an imaginary scalpel, fourteen billion times. We are looking to find one single particle in the entire Universe, that is infinitely small, has zero mass and is everywhere in the Universe at the same time. This particle IS time itself, because time is a measure between two events. This particle is not a measure of cause and effect, this particle IS cause and effect in the same moment. Imagine the fabric of the Universe ( matter, energy, dark matter, dark energy) being woven by a four dimensional weaving machine, instantly. Every tiniest sub-nucleic particle being touched at the same moment in all the Universe by one single particle...The God particle. The Universe was and wasn't created 13,798 Billion years ago. The Universe was created NOW. The fact that we experience time in a linear form is because we perceive events in a cause and effect way, thereby taking one moment in time and analysing it. The glass falls, the glass smashes on the ground. The pieces do not gather themselves up and become whole again, because they don't need to. They have performed their function in the Universe. The energy used to create the glass, the energy used to create the silica, the water, the heat energy used to melt the glass together, the potential energy used to keep the glass on the table, gravity used to draw it downwards, the kinetic energy and the heat energy given out when hitting the ground and breaking....ALL are one and the same thing. Energy, which is incorruptible. The God particle is in us all. It IS us all. Every nucleus of every cell, every DNA molecule, every spark of intellect in every brain, every thought and every dream that ever “was” or ever “will be” is suffused, created and sustained by the God particle, right at this moment. God IS the assassin, God IS the gun, God IS the bullet, the powder, the explosion, the blood, the victim, the life, the soul. God is the mountain, the river, the air, the breeze. He is the Sun, the Solar System, the Galaxy, the Universe AND he is the atom, the nucleus, the electron, the quarks...... God IS.......... We come from the stars, we are made of star stuff, and we return to the stars. We come from God, are made of God stuff, and return to God.
