The 'Singularity' of You

A singularity is what physicists call the Big Bang. A point (.) at which time and space and all things therein were one infinitely dense point. You too were once a singularity of one cell before you began to develop into the “you” of today. You may not have been “infinitely dense” until many years later ;-), but you started from a single unit just as the universe did. Right after the Big Bang the universe rapidly expanded and cooled and began to form stars, planets, and galaxies. Right after the “little bang” you grew quickly from one cell to trillions of cells differentiated into different tissues and organs. Consequently, the periodic table of elements which form the compounds that make up your tissues and organs, ultimately came from the after debris of those first stars that formed and then went supernova after the Big Bang.

During the formation of the stars, planets and galaxies, if any one factor of the physics equations that controlled the development of these bodies was off, it would have profoundly effected the development of the universe as we know it. During your development, there are numerous factors that profoundly effect your development as well. Such as the diet, stress, age and overall health of your mother.

Earth itself is a single planet comprised of millions of individual life forms that evolved from the initial star dust elements that happened to comprise it. You are a single organism comprised of over 3 trillion individual cells as well as millions of beneficial flora in your gut that help you to digest food and provide nutrients. Just as you will suffer if you are subjected to toxins and byproducts of industrial production, so to will the earth if we continue to subject it to the byproducts of our comfort. If we can't respect our own bodies enough to take care of them (as shown in our national state of health), how can we ever respect the planet we live on enough to take care of it?
