There is only one being, continuous, material, and motionless.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Let's take a moment to examine a number line.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<----|----|----|----|----|----|----|----|----|----|----|----|----|----|---->
|
||
|
|
5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 55 60 65 70
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It's pretty simple to understand. The line represents a distance, and the
|
||
|
|
"|" characters symbolize different points on the line-the exact points are
|
||
|
|
differentiated by the number below them.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Any number line is understood to have contain points which aren't
|
||
|
|
necessarily designated by a number. For example, on the above number line we
|
||
|
|
know that between 5 and 10 we can find the point 7. This example is
|
||
|
|
illustrated below.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<----|-|--|---->
|
||
|
|
5 7 10
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In fact, it is understood that there are an infinite number of points on
|
||
|
|
any number line. Between 5 and 7 we can find the points 5.009852, 5.9, 6,
|
||
|
|
6.262623627000029873257690125762, 6.3336, 6.999, 6.9999, etc.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Rulers are examples of how we might commonly use a number line. Different
|
||
|
|
rulers mark off different distances such as yards, feet, inches, centimeters,
|
||
|
|
millimeters, and so on. Obviously rulers cannot be used to measure all
|
||
|
|
distances because some distances may be too small to be measured practically
|
||
|
|
with the naked eye.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Hypothetically speaking, let's say you had a worm and a razor blade.
|
||
|
|
Let's also hypothesize that this particular worm is two inches long. Now if
|
||
|
|
you were to cut this worm exactly in half you should have "two worms" each one
|
||
|
|
inch long.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you then took one of those one inch pieces and cut it in half you would
|
||
|
|
then have two pieces each one fourth of an inch long-I don't really know how
|
||
|
|
many times you can cut a worm in half before it stops becoming two worms and
|
||
|
|
just becomes pieces of worm.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Theoretically, if you had the right tools, you should be able to continue
|
||
|
|
cutting that worm in half forever. You simply take one of those 1/4 inch
|
||
|
|
pieces, cut it, and then you have a 1/8 inch piece. Then you cut it again, and
|
||
|
|
you have a 1/16..1/34..1/68..1/136..etc. And why not? If you placed this worm
|
||
|
|
(prior to cutting it at all) on a number line and found it covered the distance
|
||
|
|
between 1 and 2 (and we all know there are an infinite number of points on a
|
||
|
|
number line) then you should be able to use the worm as a kind of ruler and be
|
||
|
|
able to locate an infinite number of points on it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Okay, so now we know worms are an infinite number of points long.
|
||
|
|
Skyscrapers are also an infinite number of points long. Therefore, worms are
|
||
|
|
as tall as skyscrapers. Skyscrapers as tall as worms.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Because everything has an infinite number of points and is infinitely
|
||
|
|
divisible, then everything must be equal in length (width, height, etc.).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
How is this possible? Simple. The universe isn't made up of many
|
||
|
|
different things, it's just one singular object.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Okay, let's consider another point.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You might think it's reasonable to believe that you walked across the room
|
||
|
|
and sat down in the chair in front of your computer, yet, as I will explain
|
||
|
|
momentarily, such a notion is ludicrous because motion is an illusion.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If motion is an illusion then clearly the universe is not made up of many
|
||
|
|
different objects (e.g. a chair, a battleship, a moon) but rather the universe
|
||
|
|
is one large singular object.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When you see someone walk across a basketball court you tend to think you
|
||
|
|
are observing motion. But what are you really observing? This person appears
|
||
|
|
to be traversing from point A to point B across the court.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A ----------------------------> B
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Let's say that it takes this person 15 seconds to appear to move from
|
||
|
|
point A to point B. If this is the case, then the person is traveling
|
||
|
|
through an infinite number of points in a finite amount of time because the
|
||
|
|
line the person walks from point A to point B can be represented as a number
|
||
|
|
line (and we know that number lines contain an infinite number of points).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Because infinity implies no end, it's impossible for anything to travel
|
||
|
|
through an infinite number of points in a finite (limited) amount of time.
|
||
|
|
Therefore any apparent motion is actually an illusion.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The reason this person cannot move across the basketball court is because
|
||
|
|
the assumption that many things exist also assumes that everything is divisible
|
||
|
|
and therefore the distance that any thing must move is divisible into an
|
||
|
|
infinite number of points. And if, then, a person moving across a basketball
|
||
|
|
court can never reach any point without first reaching its previous midpoint,
|
||
|
|
and if there are an infinite number of points, it is impossible to traverse
|
||
|
|
this infinite number of points in a finite amount of time.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Motion, then, is an illusion and there is only one being, continuous,
|
||
|
|
material, and motionless.
