So, I feel like writing a blog but I'm too lazy to actually write one out at moment so I'll just steal some old rambling from about a year or so ago from another blog of mine.
So some more stupid rambling about the Universe...
Before I had discussed how the latest thoughts are that the Big Bang was not a singular phenomenon... but that our Universe marked a beginning but also an event that had happened before... a continual growing and shrinking, a contracting and expanding... I like to think of the Universe as a beating heart... well anyways.. what about OUR universe in it’s particular permutation...?
Well, it began as one incredibly small blob smaller than you could see with your eyes, or a microscope... incredibly tiny... imagine the entirety of the universe smaller than a grain of sand... incredibly hot full of the potential for all life and all of time... the source of every laugh and every tear to come afterwords....
This little tiny guy was a little seed, just like a new love in your heart... full of energy and potential for anything and everything... There are four forces in our universe, gravity, eltcromagnetism, strong nuclear force and weak nuclear force... theoretically at the beginning, when the universe was smaller than a molecule containing everything, all of these forces where one force... one force contained in all of the matter and energy for everything and everyone and this whole world...
Most likely, gravity left and escaped from this ultimate force causing an incredible dispersion and inflation at which point the universe expanded faster than the speed of light... this is why the Universe is fairly uniform and as big as it can be even though it’s something like... forgive on dates.. I’m terrible at them... but somewhere around 13.7billion years old I believe?? But larger than it should be at this age if it was expanding only at the speed of light...
So this one force jumps ship and the rest release as well eventually into their separate parts...
at the inception of this and during inflation there were only hydrogen atoms and a few of them got together and made some helium particles... then a little down the line crazy stuff like light comes to be and gravity, maybe missing being together with the rest of it’s forces.. what if the original force was love? Yeah, I’m babbling but it’s 3 in the morning and NPR is not lulling me to sleep, this is what you get for reading my blog! So anyways gravity broke up the band so from now on it’s trying get everyone back together... where has the love gone and all that... gravity pulls these balls of hydrogen and helium together into these crazy gaseous balls called stars and this crazy thing called fusion starts to happen... insane!
So anyways, these stars drawn together by gravity begin fusing protons and neutrons and electrons into bigger and heavier atoms... nitrogen.. oxygen... carbon... all that good stuff... and it throws all of this out into this crazy new universe and gravity grabs onto these things and they come together into these crazy things called planets... I mean.. it’s a little crazy, but basically everything except for the hydrogen and helium on our planet, every cell in your body, every chemical that causes any reaction in your body, every bit of every smile and every frown for you and your friends, and everyone you’ve ever known and everyone they’ve ever known... all of it, well most of it... comes from our star the Sun... all of us are just bits of the sun which have been pulled together by this poor guy gravity... this force who’s trying to pull us all back together again... every piece of you and me and everyone around us comes from the sun... we are all the same with a few differences... all of us the result of these four forces... all from the same little seed, all together and alone....
Some day we’ll all be pulled together again to be remixed and started anew... but it all began at one point... all of us... everything... smaller than a grain of sand...
someday we’ll be there again... every particle starts and finishes in the same place...
If I don't see you before I'll see you there and we can share the stories of our former Universe and the new one to come.
yup, that’s all the nothing I have to talk about at the moment.

Real Blog to Come.... here's this for now.
Walt Whitman (1819–1892). Leaves of Grass. 1900.
98. Ah Poverties, Wincings and Sulky Retreats
AH poverties, wincings, and sulky retreats!
Ah you foes that in conflict have overcome me!
(For what is my life, or any man’s life, but a conflict with foes—the old, the incessant war?)
You degradations—you tussle with passions and appetites;
You smarts from dissatisfied friendships, (ah wounds, the sharpest of all;)
You toil of painful and choked articulations—you meannesses;
You shallow tongue-talks at tables, (my tongue the shallowest of any;)
You broken resolutions, you racking angers, you smother’d ennuis;
Ah, think not you finally triumph—My real self has yet to come forth;
It shall yet march forth o’ermastering, till all lies beneath me;
It shall yet stand up the soldier of unquestion’d victory.
