We are a virus unto ourselves.
VIRUS
There is a virus in your head that blinds you to the most simple and all-inclusive truth ever spoken.
Isaac Newton reduced it to its essence: F = ma.
F = ma, is not merely mechanics - it is a movement out of time. A law that unified falling apples, orbiting planets, and engineered machines, yet its spare nature is stripped of illusion because it terminates in Eternity.
The world, the universe, is nothing more than the secondary output of this eternal movement repeating - a generator like any other except its source is Eternity itself.
This overturns the rules of physics. Newton foresaw our weakness: that we would "take the money and run,". And so he gave us Calculus, a stairway home, guiding us back to the soft landing that is F =ma.
But humanity is clever, too clever. We believe we can outwit God.
We keep the farce alive by a trick of the mind: the eternally recurring movement, the particle itself, is preceded by the least resistance.
That resistance grows secondarily into the mass of particles we call the universe.
Silent resistance builds its body and mind - the sum of who we think we are - with the power to be everywhere at once.
Yet this silent presence is the virus that stops us from discovering eternal recurrence. It uses its advantage to bully the future of humanity, the future of time itself.
