Happy and proud to share another installment of The Science in the Fiction.
Energy Entanglement and Ergotropy.
It’s been quite the adventure this project. It wasn’t on my white board.
It pretty much fell in my lap.
Write It Down
I’ve had a lifelong passion for understanding the world around me.
The universe too.
The Metatron’s Army Series was a wonderful way to explore a number of scientific theories I’d had since early childhood.
Much of the story line – created in 10th and 11th grade – drew on a number of the theories.
Kismet?
When I began to see a significant number of these theories appear in science and tech publications decades later my reaction was to be stunned.
By the third one I was getting chills.
I couldn’t help wondering if the universe wasn’t trying to tell me something.
Or heal something.
My first response was to share the articles with Aaron. Not only had he heard the stories of how my theories were often dismissed he was aware of the sometimes painful trauma that came about as a result of creating this series.
Both in my teen years and after it was published.
He was aware I was sometimes punished for pursuing research about the scientific theories.**
Something I had to relive each time I read about a theory validated.
At first I was satisfied knowing someone I trusted knew the truth.
His compassion went a long way toward healing the psychological and emotional pain.
But the more I read the more I had to relive.***
Fate or Free Will?
By this time I’d enlightened another friend of mine.
We worked together at a Fortune 500 Technology Company.
He was one of a group of us who walked for fitness and to share philosophical views.
I’d told him of my theories which he easily followed.
After reading yet another article validating a theory I felt I needed to share with a wider audience.
Each article addressed a different theory.
And yet…
Each new validation dragged me through the pain of rejection and punishment.
Not Worth It
Telling myself it was enough for me I set it all aside.
Seriously? No Really…Again?
By the time I read the 7th article I knew I had to do the project. I’ll admit it was often downright painful. More than any emotion anger ruled the roost. Anger at how I’d been treated, punished for pursuing an understanding.
The way scientists and researchers were doing – had been doing since long before Sir Isaac Newton – the father of calculus – came up with gravity.
At first I held it all inside. Then realizing that wasn’t the best idea I told Aaron some of what I was dealing with.
The Universe Weighs In
I was seriously reconsidering whether or not to continue when I started getting words of encouragement.
Not about the project – about courage and overcoming adversity and the challenges life throws at us.
I finished the project.
Or so I thought.
Even after I thought I was done I found articles mirroring my work in Metatron’s Army.
Including today which is why you’re reading this blog post.
I suppose my takeaway at this point is that there are still plenty of mysteries to explore in the universe.
The universe within and without.
Be well!
** One person who saw the calculus equations I was working with told a family member I was practicing witchcraft. Soonafter I was questioned by a number of family members.
Brutally while those questioning read from the Bible and prayer books.
It was high school math!
It took the intervention of a future astrophycist friend and his engineer dad to help me sort that morass out.
*** In 5th grade I gave a paper on evidence of life on Mars.
My paternal grandfather who had a PhD from MIT gave me documentation from NASA from which to quote sources.
My 5th grade science teacher kept interrupting my presentation and told me if I didn’t stop speaking these lies she would give me an E on the project.
I held up the NASA documentation and told her to give me the E – which she did.
I can’t help seeing the irony of where we are now thanks to the NASA Rover.
From The Brighter Side as of October 25, 2024.
