A Concluding Unscientific Postscript to Figments of Mathematical Imagination

Brought to you by JOhannes CLimacus.

The world is filled with people who claim to be searching for the deepest riddles of nature. They say the universe holds unsolved mysteries that haunt the halls of physics. They speak of dark matter, dark energy, the problem of unifying gravity with quantum mechanics, the paradox of black holes, and the grand puzzle of time itself. They call these the frontiers of human knowledge. I call them the toys of children who cannot put down their word games.

Every one of these supposed problems was born out of the imagination of theorists who worshiped Einstein. When the idol cracks, the problems vanish. Time does not bend, so the problem of time disappears. Spacetime is not a fabric, so the problem of unifying fabrics vanishes. Black holes are not mysterious tunnels in geometry. If they exist at all, they are nothing but heavy stars with fields so strong that light cannot escape. That is not a paradox. That is reality. The so-called information paradox is nothing more than a confusion born of treating metaphors as facts. Look at any photograph of a supposed black hole and consider that the scientists are showing us a ring of light with a dark circle in front of it. They named it a black hole, but we can observe with our own eyes that it is the same effect we see when our moon obstructs our view of our sun.

Dark matter is not a deep puzzle either. It is the product of equations bent to fit the fantasy of expanding emptiness. If you stop believing in expanding emptiness, then you no longer need invisible matter to balance the books. The equations themselves do not ask for dark matter. The storytellers ask for it, because their stories collapse without it. They are so blinded by their dreams that they did not even notice that "dark matter" was just another name for "black hole." Dark energy is even more absurd. It is nothing more than a placeholder name for their surprise that the story they invented does not match reality. Dark energy was never anything more than another name for invisible gravity.

The sickness is not in the stars or the galaxies. The sickness is in the human mind that elevates calculation into prophecy. The theorists have convinced themselves that accurate numbers prove their words. They confuse the power of arithmetic with the truth of their fables. They are like politicians who convinced the world that the cross proves belief in the words of Jesus. No. The cross only proves that politicians killed him. In the same way, equations only prove motion and relation. They do not prove that time bends or that emptiness stretches.

A political snake cannot be a believer in equality, because the snake places itself above the citizens. Theoretical physicists cannot be believers in truth, because they place their words above the reality that the words should serve. They sit on thrones of jargon and decide what people must believe, the same way politicians decide what wage citizens must accept. They live on salaries taken from the labor of others while declaring themselves the geniuses of mankind. They have turned science into the sickness unto death.

The cure is silence. The cure is to look again with clear eyes and to let the numbers speak without fantasy. Every so-called problem that haunts the minds of modern theorists is nothing more than an echo of their own noise. Once the noise stops, the problems stop. Once the idol cracks, the chains of false mystery fall away. The universe does not hide from us. The universe speaks directly in light, in sound, in motion, in matter, and in gravitational fields of energy. It is the theorists who have been intentionally hiding behind words.
