Universe reassembling

Hinton s disciples spent days mediating on the cubes until some thought they could mentally reassemble these cubes in the fourth dimension—thus achieving nirvana. Figure 4.7 shows an unraveled hypercube. Although the cubes of this tesseract seem static, a 4-D person can fold the cubes into a hypercube by lifting each individual cube off our universe into the fourth dimension. Note that Hinton used the words ana and kata in the same way I use the terms upsilon and delta to describe motions in the 4-D world as counterparts for terms like up and down. (I find that upsilon and delta are easier to remember than ana and kata because of the up in upsilon and d in delta.)... 

This philosophy has had a profound effect on the methods of inquiry in virtually every field of human endeavour. It has guided scientists to pursue the pattern of study dissect, identify, classify, and dissect further. The logical extension of this approach is to search for the ultimate, ahistoric particle as the fountainhead of creation the basic ingredient with which to model and understand the universe. This is the addition/unification sequel to reductionism, whereby parts are then reassembled into additive models. 

What these four examples have taught us is perhaps a method for reassembling the scattered elements of our dissociated universe, and of reconstituting it. They teach us how to make good use of our Myths. 

There are also a number of microelements that are essential, but in much smaller quantities. These include some heavier elements like iron, iodine and zinc. Where do all of the essential elements come from In the Reassembling the Universe unit, we examine the processes of star birth and death. Students learn that all main sequence stars the size of our sun and larger eventually undergo helium fusion resulting in the formation of carbon. Larger stars exhibit...
