Love it when it snows


Nothing quiets things down like a nice blanket of snow. The roof is muffled, and the forest too. But I think there may be even more going on. Doesn't snow often here, but every time it sure does seem like the power is cleaner. For sure the listening is better.

I understand your vision, and what is the lucid critical intelligence that justify it and which ask for...

But ultimately, even in Mathematics, the truth of an idea, the veracity of a perspective on life or on numbers, is justified not by his apparent truthfulness but by his fertility...This is the ultimate view because we are free creative beings...We must choose in which world we will inhabit because we will create it... Being a nothingness or a plenum it is our choice at the end like at the beginning...All is equal yes; except by this criteria and question all is decided : which is the most fertile action, idea, or imagination?

Because it is the most fertile that connect us all....


I choose what is the most fertile....Mathematics teach that also since Kurt Godel… Philosophy must know that since Goethe that place fertility above sterile truths...And Love is only after all the union of truth and fertility.... :)
Astrophysics teaches us the universe  began and it will also end. It began with a magnificent expansion and ends a cold empty void, each star so isolated none can be seen from another until they too go dark, a vast empty space when the universe fulfills it's destined end of entropy.  No need to mourn it's  death or ours it's  just life either individual or universal.  
In a billion years our sun will grow so large, it will consume Venus and Mercury and bake any life out of existence on Earth. 4 billion years later it will have grown and swallowed Earth. 

It will all be moot by then as our contribution to the universe will be filed under "whatever'.

All the best,
Nonoise
 Contemporary astrophysics is not an absolute truth, it is a continuous endeavor like other practical sciences...

For example for Sir Roger Penrose, whose cosmology is not amateurish, there is no beginning and no end...


Thermodynamics is only a fragment of a more universal science and  vision, then any conclusion by thermodynamics on the fate of the universe is very narrow vision...


I prefer mathematics....And for a mathematician, speaking of limitations or finite things only, is a way too much narrow to only work with that...Infinite is the smallest game in town...

More than that it is possible with mathematics yoga to sustain a clear vision... Alas! it is not possible to impose a vision, we must work wit it really....And at the end fertility of vision is the only goal...
Yep, when the sun begins to burn it's  helium it will grow into a red giant then after a few billion years more it will rip itself  apart condensing into a whit dwarf. I doubt humans will exist long enough to be worried about it.
