Life, the Universe and Grapes


Life, The Universe and Grapes

Oh, I wish I was a groovy, green grape.

Oh, I wish I was a groovy, green grape.

Oh, I think it would be fine

To grow upon a vine.

Oh, I wish I was a groovy, green grape

Leanne Guenther

“So, let me get this straight, you came to this idea, hypothesis whatever you want to call it, because of grapes”.

“yes”.

“So, the meaning to life the universe and everything is because of grapes”

“No, No. Haven’t you been following my train of thought. Grapes, well two grapes to be precise. Is how I came to this conclusion?”

“Two grapes can explain everything about how life, the universe and how everything came about. The meaning to life. You found the answer to the meaning to life. Is it 42?”

“No. Well no, there is no real meaning to life. Life just is. A by-product you could say, just as the universe is a by-product. If you want meaning, you must add that yourself. But all life has a basic meaning, which would be reproduction, a continuation of. Humans have tried to take it further as they have evolved, Through Art, Culture, Science. They grapple with these to create meaning “

“Not Religion?”

“Well no, not in my opinion. Religion I believe is a human Dogma. I rigid belief. A, One truth. A way to trying to make meaning out of what they can’t comprehend. A cop out, a lazy way to avoid critical thinking. It worked for people thousands of years ago, but really, it’s not relevant today. To be fair, people who don’t have the cognitive ability. Hence, they make up these creation stories, Dreaming stories as a way to fill a void in understanding. They know something must have created the Universe as we know it. A process, An event, A God. But they just can’t get there with their dogmas, i.e. religion. Someone once said, I think it was Neil deGrasse Tyson but am not sure, so don’t quote me. He might have just been repeating it. Anyway, some once said that it will take five Einstein’s to come to a definitive conclusion as to the meaning of live or was it the creation of the universe. Doesn’t matter, there one and the same. Like, Nature and the universe, are one and the same. We are Children of the stars, you could say. Well I think in the end it just took Two grapes.”

“You just said, “We are children of the stars.” Grapes didn’t make the stars.

“I know. If we are made of elements that can only come from the explosive end of stars, the only conclusion is we are children of the stars”.

“I guess, you can put it like that. So, your saying that you have the intelligence of five Einstein brains.”

“No, I have a brain, I have critical thought, I think I posse’s intelligence in some ways. And not so much in other ways. Everyone starts out the same, Crying, bawling covered in vernix. It’s what happens next that determines how life will pan out for you. So many variables. I am a product of my childhood, my experiences, what I have had exposure to and what I haven’t had exposure too. This is what creates or brakes people. Variety in personalities. So, no I don’t possess the intelligence of five Einstein’s. Hell, I have trouble with basic maths. But that doesn’t make me stupid or dumb. It just doesn’t make me a rocket scientist.”

“Ok, so you’re not a scientist, what would you say you are?”

“A wannabe Poet, writer.”

“Ha, Ha. There gonna slam you. A poet coming up with the meaning of life.”

“Oh my God, listen to what I am saying. The only meaning to life is What you make it to be. It could have no meaning for you, so you don’t cherish anything, you rape, murder, kill at will. You don’t like people Art, culture, diversity, are intolerant of others. You pillage nature and its resources, do whatever needs to be done to get to what you think the end is and fuck everyone else on that journey or you love life and all it can offer you. You love life in all its forms, in all its natures, its expressions through art and culture and you defend that against those that are of the opposite. Your choice.”

“Ok, so how did grapes make the Universe?”

“You really want me to palm my hand in your face don’t you”

“No, I just want to hear your creation story.”

“Don’t push it. So, science tells us you can’t have an action without a reaction, right. So, our Universe must be a product of an Action. Hence the big bang theory or if your religious, God. So, both the big bang, God are the Action. Depending on your belief. And our Universe we live in is the reaction, a product of the Action. But science also tells us that you can’t produce something from nothing. It’s impossible. So, our universe had to of had an input of energy, carbon whatever it takes to make a Universe. The way the big bang is described, clouds of gas condensing under gravity just doesn’t cut it for me. Where did these gases come from? Where did the gravity come from? Was ignition, friction? Yeah, Nah. So, my theory stems from Fractal observation and grapes. But not how you might think. Sure, grapes are a fractal, a repeating pattern. Just as all of life and nature is, until you add man. So, you put one grape in a microwave oven and turn it on. Nothing happens. You put two grapes in a microwave oven where they just touch or kiss and then power it up. You get a flash of plasma above them. These two grapes in a microwave rich environment produce this plasma effect. So, what if in the ether of everything there were these two massive structures that came together and touched, kissed and from that massive collision everything that was needed to create our universe was siphoned off from these two structure and walla , the big bang/collision resulting in our universe. What these two massive structures are, I don’t know. Two other universes maybe? Two opposing dimensions? Or two somethings yet to be thought of. The collision would explain matter, gases, universal acceleration. It would explain the why of our universe, our existence, our bubble. We gain in our universe properties from both these two massive entities. Now I will remind you, I am not a rocket scientist, physicist or cosmologist. Just a dreamer. So, what do you think”?

“That is one big claim. I do think it would take five Einstein brains and five lifetimes to prove it. Oh, and probable a lot of grapes being microwaved. But, yeah maybe. Least you have the grapes to explain the theory”

“Its something different out of the box. Just like “Groovy green grape”.

    If only forms of life resembled the peramaters of a 'touch down' (rapid dramatic influence). Nicely presented, concentrated argument. Plays on most significant weak point of knowledge of history. (origin) Good tactic. Hope to see more of your writing. Will check the You Tube link.
