FAITH AND GOOD WORKS

Christianity teaches in places within the Epistle of Saint Paul to the Hebrews and in places within the Epistle of Saint James to the Early Churches…………that faith without good works is dead. This paraphrase of these Epistles seems to permanently qualify the famous statement in the Gospel of Saint John in Chapter 3 verse 16 that everlasting life will come to those who believe in Christ as the savior of the human race. Christ taught in the Gospel of Matthew Chapter 5 verses 3-10 the so-called “beatitudes“…………that our mission as Christians is primarily to perform good works through raising up the meek and disadvantaged within our World through giving of shelter and material goods on the one hand and a grounding or instruction of the disadvantaged on how to carry themselves forward to become more productive and self-sufficient if possible. The “beatitudes” were the central teaching of the “New Covenant” and were intended to mirror the 10 Commandmants of the Old Covenant of Moses to the Isrealis in the Sinai desert. Christ’s beatitudes teach us what good works mean in a fundamental sense, where with modernization one can see the “beatitudes” fulfilled in many other ways based in technology where people use technology for the betterment of humanity in this spirit originally described by Christ.

HEXAGONS AND NATURE

Hexagons and Nature

There are some persistent instances of hexagons in Nature. Two of the most prominent hexagon forms are the honeycomb patterns present in beehives and the occurrence of snowflakes exhibiting endless hexagonal forms. Hexagons are also prominent at a deeper level in the structural forms adopted by matter at the atomic level. In 2 dimensions there is the C form called graphene that traces a honeycomb pattern as a perfect C based tessellation of hexagons. One can create a film of soap bubbles comprised of circular bubbles. From this one can form a closest packing of soap bubbles by compressing a non-closest packing of bubbles between metal edges or borders. Further compressing a closest packing of bubbles one sees the onset of a honeycomb pattern in the bubbles whereupon the circular bubbles become hexagons with compression. The same is true of a closest packing of zigzag nanotube cylinders when they collapse into hexagonites. At least I hope so. This is a physical analogy. See the Feynman Lectures on physics for pictures of soap bubbles and their compression. Also, as mentioned above, I think of snowflakes when I think of hexagonites................that persistence of hexagons in Nature.......Also beehives....

FINAL THEORY

Towards the formulation of a final theory, and towards the discovery of a type of final equation or equations that such a theory would be based upon, it might be instructive to examine the infinite family of nth-order polynomials, f(x) = 0, which have for their roots the corresponding dimensionless Eddington constants. One might be able to employ Newton’s method in some algorithmic process to numerically search for and identify such polynomials. Further, in addition to the roots of such polynomial-final-theory functions corresponding to the dimensionless Eddington constants, one could place a constraint on the value of the coefficients of such characteristic polynomials by setting them equal to, or proportional to, the values of the natural constants of the physics of nature. Identification of these types of polynomial functions may lead to a better foundational view of the structure of the universe, and certain of these polynomials may lead to further insights about the natural constants and the dimensionless constants of Eddington that are derived from them.
