May Great Spirit bless 🙏

I dedicate some time today to a topic more interesting than the Orange 😡💩🤡. Just thinking his name feels like something dark eating away at the light from my very soul. POISON!!

Have You Ever Imagined the Enormity of the Observable Universe Alone? ✨☁️

Nebula X 20 in Sector 66, somewhere in the Delta Quadrant.

All that gas escaping from what appears like a dark storm cloud, gas swirling around like cigarette smoke, lazily floating upwards in the sunlight, the sunlight here being the myriad of stars all around, like spectators in an arena. Background: starlight shining through the swirling gas, like early-morning sunlight through mist over the glades, slowly and eventually swallowed up into the darkness of the space between a multitude of stellar systems. In all that gas, there are particulates containing various chemical compounds that could have been, given the right environment, genetically produced living forms. The program for "Information is Never Lost - Quantum Mechanics" was already there. One would have to go back to the beginning to understand the Big Picture.

My question: Word for fear of knowing the greatness of the mystery of all things.

I used to fear the unknown void where even human imagination could go until you get lost in a black void; then the imagination goes wild, like the reaction of a claustrophobic person caught in a tight space, just as for those whose consciousness is entering limbo. There could be anything in that darkness. That's a normal human reaction to something that does not fit the parameters of their understanding.

Note: I was looking for just a word, then more than the jack came out of that box.

Cosmophobia (or Spacephobia): The fear of the cosmos or space itself—its vastness, infinity, darkness, and the overwhelming uncertainty of it. It is often described as a fear of the unknown magnitude of everything, bordering on existential dread.

The way I look at it, which is not really scientific, religious or spiritual, it's more like art, colors, shapes, feelings, emotions, an infinity of them; The Infinite Potentialities. You don't need to be scared, just go with the flow.

The theory of infinite potentiality originates in a long philosophical and mathematical dialogue about the nature of the "infinite," transitioning from ancient concepts of formless, never-ending processes to modern technical definitions of "actual" sets. The core concept is that behind all observable, finite, and changing realities, an unbounded source of potentiality exists — a field of possibilities from which all things emerge. Historical Foundations: Ancient Greek

"Apeiron" (c. 6th Century BC): The earliest conception came from Anaximander, who proposed the apeiron (the unbounded, indefinite, or infinite) as the primary, creative element of the universe.

Aristotelian Potential Infinity (384–322 BC): Aristotle fundamentally shaped the theory by arguing that the infinite only exists potentially, never as a completed, "actual" whole. In this view, infinity is a non-terminating process—a "never-ending" capability, such as counting numbers ($1,2,3...$) or dividing magnitudes."Horror of the Infinite":

For nearly two thousand years, Western thought followed Aristotle, largely rejecting the idea of a completed infinite, often called a "horror of the infinite". Transition to Actual Infinity (19th Century) Cantor's Set

Theory (1880s): Georg Cantor revolutionized the concept by defining the actual infinite—a completed set of infinite elements. He proved that there are different, measurable sizes of infinity (transfinite numbers), enabling mathematicians to treat infinite possibilities as completed, countable objects.

Dedekind's Definition: Richard Dedekind added rigor by defining an infinite set as one that can be placed in a one-to-one correspondence with a proper subset of itself. Modern Theoretical Perspectives The "origin" of modern interpretations of infinite potentiality spans multiple fields:

Mathematics & Calculus: Infinity in modern mathematics is a technical, rigorous tool required for calculus and the continuum, moving beyond mere philosophical debate.Quantum Physics & Cosmology: Some interpretations, such as the Many-Worlds Interpretation, suggest an infinite number of parallel universes, making "potentiality" an actual, branching reality.Metaphysics & Relational Theory: Recent philosophy suggests that "infinite potential" is not just a math concept but a relational one, where "reality" is created through interaction, turning endless possibilities into actualized, tangible forms.

"Infinite Potentiality" Einstein:

Also, General Relativity,* The Unified Theory, or Theory of Everything by Einstein:

Imagination vs. Knowledge: Einstein is famous for stating, "Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world". This implies that while current knowledge is finite, human imagination has the potential to explore infinite possibilities and create new realities.

The Boundless Universe: Einstein grappled with whether the universe was finite or infinite. While he initially preferred a finite, "closed" model, his general theory of relativity allowed for a "spatially finite but boundless" universe, which functions as a form of "limitless" space

"Two Things are Infinite":

The Field as Potential: In his pursuit of a *Unified Field Theory,* Einstein aimed to explain all physical forces as emerging from a single, foundational, and potentially infinite field. Some interpretations of his work link this to the idea that energy and consciousness are fundamentally interconnected in a "field of consciousness".

Spiritual Connection to Infinity: Einstein expressed a deep, almost mystical appreciation for the universe, feeling connected to a "cosmic" reality that transcends individual existence, sometimes described as a form of intellectual or spiritual "infinity".

Elizabeth Warren launches probe into booming car repossessions

New York:

—

The car repo business is booming as Americans fall behind on increasingly expensive car payments. Cars are being repossessed at the highest rate since the Great Recession of 2008 and 2009. The repo tactics have drawn the attention of Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who launched a probe into the auto lending industry on Wednesday, a Senate Banking Committee spokesperson told -CNN-.

The investigation is focused on illegal and mistaken repossessions, when cars are seized even if borrowers are current on their bills or have reached agreements with lenders...

Bitcoin is acting weird.

—

New York:

The world’s most famous cryptocurrency has tumbled 44% from its October peak, falling below $70,000 Thursday for the first time in 15 months. That decline is actually not unusual at all. Crypto is notoriously volatile, and it’s gone through numerous crashes that are bigger than this one.

What’s strange is this: Bitcoin’s four-month slump has come at a time when, in theory, it had everything going for it. Geopolitics have gotten spicy this year: President Donald Trump is threatening to attack Iran after the United States removed the leader of Venezuela. The US president has recently been going after allies in Europe and Canada over Greenland, and he’s threatening higher tariffs on South Korea.

Heebie-jeebies: like the jitters, the willies, jumping after a sudden sound or flashing light, jumping at sudden movements, or from excitement, just being jumpy or twitchy, from stress.

Or just think of a fingernail-biting situation, like watching a hockey game without the rules, or a car accident, or Billy about to fly off the precipice with his bicycle.🎭

Carney announces Canada bringing back EV incentives for consumers

Government scrapping EV mandate that would have required all new vehicles sold to be electric by 2035*

*The Latest*

The federal government has announced Canada's new national automotive strategy today.

Prime Minister Mark Carney spoke to reporters at an automotive plant in Woodbridge, Ont.
Carney said that Canada will scrap electric vehicle (EV) mandates that would have required 60 per cent of all new cars to be electric by 2030 and 100 per cent by 2035.
Instead, EV incentives for consumers are coming back. The five-year program will give individuals and businesses up to $5,000 when they buy battery electric and fuel EVs, and up to $2,500 for plug-in hybrids.
The moves come as Carney and the auto industry manage multiple pressures, including U.S. tariffs...

Stephen Harper says Canada must urgently reduce its dependence on the U.S.

Former prime minister says Canada should consider hitting U.S. goods with tariffs as trade war drags on

Former prime minister Stephen Harper said late Wednesday that Canada must urgently pivot in the face of an erratic U.S. president and reduce its dependence on the American market to protect its sovereignty and the continued functioning of the economy. Speaking at a gala in Ottawa to mark the 20 years since he formed a Conservative government, Harper said while he has "largely stayed silent" on U.S. aggression up until now, he feels compelled to speak out about what he described as an existential threat.

He said the U.S. has become "hostile" and its leader, President Donald Trump, is openly questioning Canadian sovereignty, launching threats and betraying trade deals, which poses a "serious challenge" that demands a muscular response...
