The Warm Water Theory
By
Peter Glen
In our
quest for answers, we all seek for a rule or a law that
explains everything. Very rarely, we stumble on a good idea or
theory
that does this successfully. The warm water theory is the closest yet.
It
is one of the most powerful theories I have ever encountered.
The theory itself is simple: Mixing cold water and hot water together,
we get warm water.
The Warm Water Theory has so many implications. Let's look at
some.
For
example, putting a hard working employee together with
a not so hard working one, the performance of the unit degrades to
average.
Looking at winter and summer, the earth keeps an average temperature.
El
Nino and La Nina balance each other out. When there is a rainy year in
Europas,
there is a dry year in the Americas.
This all points to the same phenomena. The balance of the
universe.
After this short introduction, I am sure we are ready for
the
full version of the Warm Water Theory. Here it comes:
Nature achieves balance, given enough scope of integration.
Earlier, I promised that this explains everything. Let's review
some
of the classical natural laws in the new context:
Newton's Third Law:
"For every action, there is an equal
and opposite
reaction."
Newton's Law could be rephrased as:
"The balance of universe assures that
for every action, there
is an equal and opposite reaction."
Bernoulli's Law:
It describes the behavior of a
fluid under varying
conditions.
The
formula is abstract, but it says something
really simple. It states that if we enclose gas in a container it
will
assume a certain pressure. If we expand the container to be twice as
large,
the pressure will drop to half.
Bernoulli's law could be rephrased as:
"The balance of universe assures that
for a set amount of
gas, the product of volume and pressure is constant."
The earth revolves around the sun. It is kept in balance
by
the gravitational pull of the sun, and the centrifugal force of the
earth's
rotation around the sun.
The balance of the universe does not mean, that everything
is
average. Quite the contrary. It states, that given enough scope of
observation
it achieves average. So extremes do happen. But nature deals with it by
restoring
the extremes into its scheme of balance.
An interesting notion, the periodicity of extremes. The
transition
between the extreme points suggests harmonic motion. Much like
winter/summer
day/night nature achieves its balance with harmonic motion.
Everything
in the universe participates in this harmonic motion. In fact, most
things
participate in a multitude of harmonic motions, superimposed on each
other.
A good example of that is the tide. It is driven by the moon, and
influenced
by the sun. The superimposition of the two yields our typical tide
pattern.
The balance of the universe has countless uses. It is
applicable
to planetery movement, phisics, chemistry, society, psychiatry. And,
even
dating. Ever wonder why a large women typically marries a small
man?
(And vice versa) What makes us attracted or not attracted to another
person?
Or why most really attractive people are superficial?
We almost found the theory of everything. At
this
point, we have three laws that encompass it.
- Warm Water Theory
- Superimposition Theory
- Route of Least Resistance Theory
The latter two are subjects of a whole new E-White paper.
