Quote by Dejan Stojanovic

“Considering all these elements, the context and frame from which we try to think or place ideas become more extensive and cannot be easily simplified to fit the purpose of a "winning" argument or idea. For example, the concept of intelligent design is, in a strict sense, a religious concept, but must it be strictly religious? To answer this, we must first ask what intelligent design is. And then, what may this design be from a metaphysical point of view, from the point of view of creation or recreation? How much do our particular human ideas about design enslave us, and can we even think about the design outside of our strictly human context and place it in an extraordinary context of the Absolute, God, existence, essence, matter, and Universe?”

“The visible universe contains only 5% of visible matter, whereas dark matter constitutes 27%, and 68% is dark energy. According to some scientists, dark matter may be in other dimensions. This idea is compatible with my idea of an Omniverse, although a Multiverse does not need to be in other dimensions. Nevertheless, such a Multiverse may contain material (perhaps unapproachable by human beings) beyond our imagination.”

“Since scientists have no answer to dark matter (except dark matter filament), the most logical explanation is that it is invisible. Some questions remain: 1. Can matter be invisible (or imperceptible by our senses and instruments)? 2. Even if matter could be theoretically invisible, is it possible that such a vast amount of matter, like dark matter, would escape all our knowledge and existing laws of physics and be unidentified until recently but wholly invisible and beyond our reach? 3. If dark matter is imperceptible, what makes it imperceptible? 4. Is it potentially perceptible but not perceptible to us as human beings? 5. Is there anything that would still avoid perception even if we possessed the absolute perceptive ability or technology with these abilities? 6. Or, is dark matter our way of explaining the unexplainable and offering a linguistic form to unknown phenomena? 7. Or, is it our inability to go beyond the spectrum, outside the existing frames, and try to decipher the unknown beyond the known frame of reality or what we see and understand as reality and the Universe? The answer to the first question is known; even atoms are invisible not only to the eyes but to microscopes. It is, therefore, theoretically possible that matter can be hidden and imperceptible. Still, it is hard to imagine that vast amounts of the mass of the Universe would stay unaccounted for within the realm of already advanced understanding of the laws of physics, instruments, and experiments. It would be possible to prove mathematically, based on what we already know about the Universe, the mass, the dispersion of energy and mass, and by these comparisons to conclude, without the CERN accelerator, that this is, most likely, impossible. This was a short answer to the second question. The third question is important because it would lead scientists in the right direction by avoiding the possible net of perplexed ideas. If we have already established that something exists, it would be better to define it as precisely as possible to avoid guessing only. In addition, how do we guess? We do not know anything about its nature, origin, or how it came into existence except that we came to this discovery almost accidentally by pure and relatively simple measurements and experiments. But what about us? How do we think? What methods do we use in experiments and the way we think? The answer to these questions could lead to better discoveries than only focusing on something we do not know and, even worse if we do not know where to look for it. Based on an accidental discovery, it is a good start to conclude that there is more mass in the Universe than can be detected. Still, it would be better and more productive to go beyond the Universe as we see it, beyond our existing knowledge and perception, not toward the stars we already know but toward another bottomless sky of darkness and the unknown. Although light is the source of life, darkness is also the source of light and life. Maybe the brightest “star” sleeps in the darkness and feeds the world from darkness. Is there only one Universe? If we start from the premise of the Big Bang theory, it would be logical to ask why there is only one Big Bang. It is easy to conclude that if there is a Big Bang at one point in “space” (nothingness), there can be another one at another “point,” past or future, although this may sound strange.”

“The source of 68% of the mass-energy density is dark energy. The Universe is one, even if we use the word Multiverse. If it is not one, then it is not a Universe. If what we understand as the Universe is not one, it does not mean that there are multiple universes but that our ideas about the Universe may need to be corrected or that they do not quite correctly represent reality. If this is the case, we should adapt the language to reality, not the reality to language.”

“If we accept a Big Bang (although our view would be the same regardless of this premise), we must accept the possibility of multiple Big Bangs anywhere else. We can imagine many more (some even bigger) Big Bangs and “universes” (like our own) than there are galaxies in our Universe. Now, we will name this Universe, containing all others, Omniverse (Omni-Universe) or Macro Universe. Dark energy is the “unmeasurable” energy of the Omniverse (Macro Universe).”

“What makes space possible? Just of itself, space is nothing. But without nothingness, there is no space. Space is made only from nothingness. Without Nothingness, the Absolute would not be complete, and there would be no potential for space in the world. Absolute would be impossible without nothingness. Absolute, without the void, is zero, and the void, without the Absolute, is zero. Zero can only be equal to itself, which means that even in the supposed separation of the Absolute from zero, they become the same and only one—Zero.”

“The main feature of an absolute vacuum is that it is nonexistent nothingness. But, if we put it like this, it may sound that if nothingness is nonexistent, it exists. If nothingness is nonexistent, it means that there is no nothingness. No world or universe can be made without nothingness because there is no space without it. In actuality, space is nothingness. Without nothingness, which is nonexistence, somethingness or existence would not be possible. If we analyze the previous paragraph, we come to some strange or not-so-strange conclusions, knowing that language is not the perfect instrument for expressing ideas but is still the best currently available to humans. If nothingness is nonexistent, it means that there is no nothingness. Yet, if there is nothingness, it should mean that nothingness exists. We may think this kind of reasoning is pure scholasticism or nonsense, but in reality, linguistic and transcendental are often in collision. The most abstract and profound ideas often escape or try to escape language formulations. The “weakness” of language becomes more apparent when facing Reality's formidable immensity and depth, especially the metaphysical “side” of Reality.”

“When the Nonbeing is unaffected by the Being, it is a spaceless space, a spotless spot, and finite yet infinite as potential. That is nowhere with the potential to be everywhere. The primordial “space” is absolutely “finite,” enabling the Being to inhabit or envelope it. Nonbeing is the exit for the Being because, without nothingness, there is no space. This Nonbeing is infinite in its potential.”
