The Flow
Flow : Movement of any entity is a flow.
Flow arises due to difference in some physical or non-physical quantity. If there is a flow it means there is something(energy or any physical or non-physical quantity) more on one side and the same thing less on the other side. This difference is essential for any flow.The difference can be of energy,matter,potential,entropy ,any other physical quantity. All these physical quantities don’t matter, what matters is the difference of something.
This difference creates a force and force causes the flow.This flow governs all laws of the universe.
BOOM.Big Bang.Universe is created. Flow starts.
Our solar system was created.
Our Earth was created.
All this happened due to flow.
Then life occurred.
The origin of life is attributed to the proton gradient. In simple words , it is postulated that the Lost City vent system in the mid-Atlantic were the ideal incubators for life. The lost city vents gave rise to a natural proton gradient across the vent membranes that had the same polarity (outside positive) and a similar electrochemical potential (about 200 millivolts [mV] across the membrane) as modern cells have. This difference created the flow and ultimately the life.
This life is also governed by the same flow.
There is a characteristic of life that it wants to continue to exist. This property of continued existence is the unique characteristic which makes it different from other matter which is called dead matter.
This characteristic of life to “live” is also a flow which means that this flow is also a result of the difference of “something”.
Unicellular life, multicellular life, then plants, then animals and then humans were created with evolution and the flow.
There are various ways in which life continues i.e creating its copy. The two known ways are asexual reproduction and sexual reproduction.
There are various types of living organisms on this earth and with various abilities in which they interact with the surrounding universe.
We are more interested in a living organism called “Humans” because they are better able to interact with the surrounding universe, modify it and also possess an ability called “consciousness”. Humans are called “Human beings” because they are aware of their ‘being’. "Consciousness" is a broader topic and its better to talk about it another day.
These abilities are the reasons that I am able to convey this information to you.
Life in its all forms and levels is again based on a difference, this difference is of various types at various levels. The origin of life is attributed to the proton gradient. The working of neurons is based on Neuron action potentials. Osmosis plays an important role in the functioning of cells which is the result of difference in water potential. Each living entity, it can be cell , a multicellular organism,plants, animals or humans “lives” due to this flow which is a result of some difference.
We will try to understand what role does this flow play in human life.. Humans create their copies by sexual reproduction. The sexual reproduction is an essential part of human life process so most of the human life surrounds around sex.
As we know flow is created when there is a difference. In Humans the difference is of the sex identity assigned to them. When a human is born its mostly a male or female, each with their own characteristics. Both are opposite of each other such that their is a difference in them. This difference creates the force which created a flow and wants them to get in the act of sexual reproduction and create a new human being. This force is the sexual force and this flow is the flow of human life. Every action a human takes is result of this flow to reproduce and create another life. This flow of human life is called “desire”. Here particularly it is referred to as sexual desire. This desire is necessary for continuation of life and human bodies are designed in a way that they reproduce without being aware of this. The ultimate goal of life is to reproduce and create a new living being. Hence , this sexual force plays an important role in everything surrounding human life. Society is designed around this, institutions in our society are designed around this, culture grows out of this. Our decisions are based on this. Due to this sexual force we take decisions which we think is not any way related to sex but is ultimately leads to this point. As we cannot get out of this body whose sole purpose is to create another life,all human life is based on the bodily functions and desires. Sigmund Freud’s work is the testimony of how our life is based on this sexual flow.
But human life is more than just an act of sex , there are various aspects of human life but in each aspect of human life, there is a flow, there is a difference, there is a desire , there is a want,
A want is the result of lack of something. Whenever there is difference or lack of something , there will be a flow. Human life can be understood in various contexts by identifying the points of difference and ultimately the direction of flow and the action taken by a human.
Each aspect of every system can be understood with the flow, with the difference , the difference may be of different physical or non-physical quantities. But if the difference exists,then there is a flow.
This difference is called by some people as “Duality”.
What was the initial difference or "Duality" that created universe? It could be entropy. It is well known that our universe is expanding and the entropy of the universe is always increasing which means it was always less in the past. In the beginning of the universe entropy was lowest. This difference in entropy can be the reason for the existence of the universe.
Now what happens in the future ? Currently the universe is expanding and it is said that it will stop expanding at one point and start contracting and will lead to the The big Crunch i.e to the point at the start of universe. First the entropy increase to maximum and then decreases and then again increases. Universe is created and destroyed again and again in a cycle. This difference in entropy can be the reason for the "Flow" as understood in terms of physics.
Wherever we observe any system, we find that all the movement or the flow is because of some "Duality", and we are the result of this flow who can observe it.
