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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
