THE SECOND PARADIGM WORLDVIEW

Pillars of Belief

The Cosmological Question:

How did our physical universe first come into being, and what are the physical laws that govern its past, present, and future functioning?

Adherents to the Second Paradigm, Right-Marginalist Worldview believe that the physical universe suddenly burst into being at the time of the Big Bang (as do adherents to the First Paradigm Worldview). They also believe, like the adherents to the First Paradigm Worldview, that every confluence of ultimatelyirreducible integers of matter in the physical universe is disintegrating into its constituent component parts, moving outandaway from one another.

However, adherents of the Second Paradigm Worldview differentiate themselves in a fundamental, indeed categorical, way from adherents of the First Paradigm Worldview. Adherents to the Second Paradigm Worldview believe that the sum total of the finite number of ultimatelyirreducible integers of matter is adequately large enough for the sum total of the force of attraction that exists between this finite number of integers of matter to be great enough to hold these integers in union, thus, not allowing this finite number of ultimatelyirreducible integers of matter to continue outandaway from one another and the locus of the Big Bang into nothingness.

Adherents to the Second Paradigm Worldview adhere to a cosmological belief in which there exists a large enough number of ultimately-irreducible integers of matter in the physical universe to generate an adequate degree of attraction between these integers of matter to come to a full stop in their previous journey out-and-away from one another so as to cause these integers of matter and to remain in a state of perfect stasis for a brief moment. That reverse Big Bang.e universe will then begin contracting due to gravity, and eventually come back to singularity—

At that moment at which every ultimately-irreducible integer of matter in the physical universe is in immediate direct physical contact with every other ultimately-irreducible integer of matter, the polarity (direction of the attraction) possessed by each ultimately-irreducible integer of matter will switch from negative (attracting) to positive (repelling). Then, each and every ultimately-irreducible integer of matter in the physical universe will immediately repel each and every other ultimately–irreducible integer of matter. In that moment, the Big Bang will repeat itself.

As a result of this process, adherents to this Second Paradigm Worldview believe that the physical universe oscillates between a state of absolute mass and a state of absolute energy (repeatedly entering into an entirely inchoate state immediately after reaching each state of total energy) eternally, generating two generations of stars, galaxies, planets, atoms, and people during every two-stroke cycle of the universe. This is the oscillating cosmos cosmology, distinct from the entropic (dissipating) cosmology of the First Paradigm Worldview.
