invariance

it's a cool little quip.  but the point, whether we are einstein or not, is that we each develop an intuitive feel of how to approach a problem *before* we work out a logical replication of that as a rational thought.  they way we work out something intuitive, is art.
it struck me then - that if code is poetry - then the code of reality - revealed in say mathematics - would display God's intuitive sense, and be his poetry, his art.
Psalm 19:1-9 (The Message) A David Psalm
God's glory is on tour in the skies, God-craft on exhibit across the horizon. Madame Day holds classes every morning, Professor Night lectures each evening. Their words aren't heard, their voices aren't recorded, But their silence fills the earth: unspoken truth is spoken everywhere. The revelation of God is whole and pulls our lives together. The signposts of God are clear and point out the right road. The life-maps of God are right, showing the way to joy. The directions of God are plain and easy on the eyes. God's reputation is twenty-four-carat gold, with a lifetime guarantee. The decisions of God are accurate down to the nth degree.
there are a number of lines of God's code that have revealed themselves - accurate and also elegant to the nth degree. at the top of the pack are Einsteins Mass-Energy Equivalence and Maxwell's Electromagnetism Relationships.  But I would argue other lines of code have revealed themselves and are evident to all... love, redemption, beauty, grace, mercy, his infinite power, and goodness. these lines of code run rampant throughout all human experience - and they remain changeless regardless of your frame of reference.  this idea is called invariance. and it's a bombshell.
what i want to rail against, is that we pretend like we live in a newtonian (or flat euclidean) universe - but we don't.  we really live in an einsteinien (or curved minkowskian) universe.  but that doesn't mean that there aren't things that are changeless.  we've just been looking in the wrong categories for things to anchor ourselves to.  
for instance, we've been looking at facts-as-parsed-by-language to be True-from-all-perspectives-and-sides, and failed to recognize / respect the dimensionality of reality.  we need to recognize the ramifications of what Einstein learned about God and reality a hundred years ago - and start to graple with its meaning for us.
This is God's code.  This is God's poetry.  This is his art.  It's breathtaking in it's beauty, magnitude, elegance, and invariance.

p.s.  and of course, an einsteinien universe is not the last most correct understanding / revision of reality - there is a problem ;-)

You're lucky you added that P.S. I was all set to smack you down. ;-)

But luckily, as soon as we've solved that one problem, we'll finally have gotten it completely right. Right? >:-D
