Elohim -- Progeny of Plank

(by Dlanorrenrag*) Dave, I enjoyed your notion about dark matter. I may need correction. But, if I understand your broad outline (?), much of the cumulative gravitational effect of dark material may be on account of material (discrete) particles, whose mass necessitates offsetting expressions of (continuous) dark energy, but whose particles are so small as to be less than the constant for Plank uncertainty --- hence, beyond measure in any particular terms ... and, beyond empirical testing except possibly in the broadest possible terms. I have often wondered whether our ever-diligent physicists’ and mathematicians’ applications of calculus, insofar as they assume continuosities rather than immeasurable discretes, may be mixing apples with oranges to such an extent as eventually to be less than fulfilling against ubiquitous, inextricable uncertainties. You realize, of course, your notion, among various others, would be seized upon by persons such as myself, who believe there is a relevant metaphysics, such that "Elohim" may reside with the "dark material." (Personally, rather than "God," I prefer "Super Holographic Elohim in respect of The Holistic Force," aka SHE-THLF, pronounced "She-Thelf," aka Siblings of He-Thor, "Holographic Elohim in respect of The Holistic River".) Regardless, that "Something" exists, however uncertain it may be to our tests, seems relevant to empathetic intuitions about purposefulness, even as we believe such Something is beyond empiricism. While there are more over-grasping creationists than there are over-grasping physicists, such may be so only because the pool for blind spiritualists is so much larger than the pool for blind empiricists. For my purposes, your notion, if valid, may rank in physics with Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle and in mathematics with Godel’s incompleteness theorem. Of course, there are many who disdain metaphysical intuitions as being devoid of redeeming merit, whether literal or figurative. They may consider it sacrilegious to advance any notion that a unifying theory that accounts for everything is not within grasp of mortals. Perhaps, they prefer to believe pure empiricism will lead us to the "moral-empathy-particle."
