The Aesthetics

This series of essays is on the subject of the aesthetic 
life and what it means to be an artist -- a celebration of the aesthetic spirit in all 
possible universes.

Universe(s)

Anyone interested enough to read about physics is certain 
aware of the concept of multiple realities, multiple 
universes, and multiple dimensions. Whether (ultimately)
these turn out to be *provable* (to the left-brained nit
wits and Vogons [Note 1] who seem to be
running the current planet (Earth; see map).

Consider the following:

a) At least one universe exists (the current one we live in,
   or as Uncle Al [2] would put it:  "The Universe of Discourse".

b) If something has happened at least once, it could/might/should/should-not
   happen again. An excellent book on this is by Martin Rees
"Just Six Numbers" in which he discusses how there are just
six numbers that control the structure of our universe; eg,
the gravitational constant (G), Plank's Constant (h), etc.

Thus, of the "many universes that are possible, only a few are
stable and can actually exist" (not an exact quote). 








  
Notes
(this section only)



[1]  Vogons are a character that Douglas Noel Adams (DNA) created
     for his celebrated trilogy, the 5-volume work generally known
as "The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy". In brief (from the
H2G2):

       Vogons are one of the most unpleasant, ugly, 
       artistically incompetent and nauseatingly 
       priggish races in the universe. They aren’t 
       actually evil as such, but if you ever wanted 
       to get a lift from one, for instance, FORGET IT!

       They are also apparently bad tempered, bureaucratic, officious and callous - "they wouldn’t even lift a finger to save their own grandmothers from the ravenous bugblatter beast of Traal without orders signed in triplicate, sent in, sent back, queried, lost, found, subjected to public enquiry, and finally buried in soft peat for three months and recycled as firelighters."

Frank adds this:  Notice that the *value* judgement of the BBC uses the
                  term "ugly", which is clearly predjudicial. I personally
find their physical form quite eloqently intriguing. That is, to completely
represent what happens to a culture that deprives itself of all that is
noble in its (or any) species; eg, thinking, literature, art, music, poetry,
history, philosophy, and of course "leisure drug usage". (Note that this
site does *not* promote the use of drugs, since as we all know the only
way to deal with the world is to just deal with it. And if you *do* need
help, there are any number of health giving physicians (well respected
in the community and properly registered with nationally recognised 
agencies and organisations) that *prescribe* for you any number of
medically approved (and industrially produced) medications to help you
to cope with the world around you. That said prescriptions might erase
not only your perceptions/apprehension with the world around you and
completely alter (if not erase) most of the unique aspects of your own
personally is to *not* be questioned. They are experts and they will
decide what is best for you.

[2]  Uncle Al is the familiar term used by many of the thinkers on
     Earth (see map) when refering to one "Albert Einstein". Two
notable quotes come to mind:

    "If i had known that my work would have lead to the death
     of people, i would never have studied physics, and would
     have instead become a gardner and studied the violin more
     assidiously".

    "It is not enough for you to understand...."  *** NEED QUOTE FROM THE MAC-2001!!!
