In the 21st century, we may have an opportunity to travel to other planets. Are we ready to start our crusade and spread human civilization across the Milky Way?

You may have been told that humans will dominate the universe with their intellect. That could make the Martians smile politely when they discover that we cannot even control our own viruses within our own bodies. They could teach us a couple of things about ourselves.

13 - The two seeds

A Martian may ask you: “What is a tree?

Let’s take two little seeds. They are identical.  If I put one in the ground, a tree will grow. If I break the other seed into pieces and plant them in the ground, nothing will grow. What makes the difference between a tree and no tree?

It does not come from the atoms. They are the same in the seed and the pieces. Only the distance between the molecules is different

Could the tree be hiding in the empty space between the molecules?  If we cannot find an explanation in the material world, should we look in the immaterial world?

Where is the tree? Is it in the seeds? Is it in the non-physical universe?”

Something is missing here.

Let’s go back to the seed. In the past, its atoms were elsewhere. Being in the seed is only part of their cycle. The seed is merely one step in a lengthy process. It took thousands of trees, producing millions of seeds over millions of years, to create those two seeds. What is important is what happened before and what will happen after. We look at the seed like we would look at one picture taken out of a film, assuming that time does not matter.

The link between the atoms of the seed is the detour each atom has taken in its cycle to be present together, at the same place, at the same time. By breaking the seed, we destroy a well-organized choreography that no human brain could have created. 

You can’t rely on what the scientists are saying. They pretend to rely only on the material world where everything can be measured. They call “x” what they don’t know and use mathematics to manipulate this “x” in many ways. They pretend to consider only the level of matter, and behind your back, they let their ‘x’ cover anything - material or not.

 

There is a good side. Have you ever thought that mathematics could unite the material and the immaterial? Could mathematics unite science and religion? Keep us informed. We want to know.

 

Have you thought of what happens when you eat the seed? Why doesn't a little tree start growing in your stomach? The only explanation is that your digestive system starts by crushing the seed and recycling the atoms. The process starts in your mouth. You isolate the atoms and insert them into a different cycle. Your body is made of recycled vegetables! We start by breaking the cycles that make a plant and recycling the corpse! Think of the compost in a corner of the garden. That’s the idea. Your body recycles what is dead. We are killers!

 

This applies to everything around us. Before a man made the first chair, he must have had the idea of a chair. Then, he broke the cycle of a tree and implemented his idea of a chair in the material world. Different ideas of chairs evolved into distinct chairs.  We are only conscious of the material world's implementation of an idea that remains immaterial.

 

When you see your Martian, keep in mind that you are two different implementations of the same idea. It created some detours of atoms on planet Earth and other detours on another planet.

Imagine being deaf and watching people dance. Wouldn’t you think that they are mad! The human condition is even worse. We are not conscious of the music we are dancing to. If you find this difficult to believe, look at a seed and tell us how it associates matter and time to make a tree.
