Developing The Idea of Platonism

We are taught that atoms are made up of electrons, protons, neutrons and consist of a nucleus. But what makes up the essentials of life?

Platonism:

the point of view on the nature of the relationship between mathematics and the physical world.

With this belief in mind, let us take it a step further.

This is the understanding that the physical world is determined by math, preferable examples being E=mc^2 and Pi, which within these two, somehow create a whole entire population and universe with numbers and symbols that make up each particle. The idea that math is the basis of our existence can be easy to grow attached too, because math is so hard to understand to some, similar to the answers to the Universe and our existence.

Atom:

the basic units of matter.

Bringing biology into this, I would like to question how numbers and symbols, in whichever way they choose to take form, create a physical world. It makes sense thinking that math is a requirement in school, but I want to know if math is a requirement because of its credibility to the creation of the Universe. We are taught that math is such an important subject, but if this is the case, why has there not been an easier way to perfect it? To understand it?

Is it that those who do not understand will never understand it, meaning that they will never be awakened or enlightened to the truth of our existing Universe and physical selves?

And to those that do understand it, with time, will they will be able to develop a rounded explanation of our existence and reveal to humanity the answers that have been sought for so long?

We are taught that atoms are made up of electrons, protons, neutrons and consist of a nucleus. But what makes up the essentials of life?

Without protons, neutrons, electrons, etc., there are no atoms. Without atoms, there is no life. Without life, there is no physical being. Without physical being, there is no existence. Without an existence, is there still a Universe?

Is there a life that exists beyond our own that has developed this mathematical way of thinking in order to develop a hypothesis and understanding of our existence?

With each question that is unanswered, a new door opens with new questions and new beliefs.

Man is stuck in a never-ending loop hole of unanswered questions and misguided souls.

Do not trust those around you.

Do not trust yourself.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.
