Why human's invented language or ask questions

At the most fundamental level species Homo sapiens and all its particular human traits developed because of unified force's entering after big bang into the realm of strong interactions repeatedly or spiral by spiral with spirals being added both linearly as well as to what I call superimpositionally (in fractal cycles or spirals in other words). For further detail read the following from page 97 of my book Self-Designed Universe. Around page 97 I am explaining all the interactions and hereunder specifically the strong interactions. Prior to this I explained the electromagnetic interactions - the creator of species plants and animals. [Mosc stands for matter of spiritual category which here is the same as the unified force of the big bang and some day may qualify as the real God particle.]

3. The Strong Interactions:

If you have already begun feeling helpless before the enormous strength of the electromagnetic interactions, if your mind is still lost handling zeros in the figure 10(40)[10 raised to the power 40] by which electromagnetic interactions are stronger than the gravitational interactions, I am afraid you are in for a real shock now. The next interactions on the line, and as per our theory the main cause of the mutation of animal species into Homo sapiens, as also the main cause of the development of specific human traits such as ego, the self-consciousness, the thought process, the language, the need of information, the need of exchange of information, the need of asking questions etc., are further some 100 times stronger than even the electromagnetic interactions!

These, our very scourge, which have the power even to cause suicides in Shivas, in Mosc or souls now in human form, are the mightiest strong interactions.

If gravitational and electromagnetic interactions are said to operate (come into the foreground) at the level of molecules and atoms respectively, with strong interactions we have - or our Mosc has - penetrated yet deeper into the heart of the matter.

These are said to operate at the level of the hadrons. And hadrons are all sorts of particles ‘residing’ in the nucleus; or rather, cause the nucleus with Mosc (our soul, our 'I') to ‘reside’ in them, thanks, besides their obvious strong bonds with the nucleus, to their strong bonds with each other.

These strong interactions, in other words, in the name of keeping these nucleons (another name for hadrons, further divided into baryons and mesons, and if you would like to have a real taste of the ‘dry’ description, having names such as omega, cascade, lambda, eta, kaon, pion, besides our familiar neutron and proton, and so on and so forth) in an atom together, keep ‘us’ under house-arrest: keep our Mosc, our ‘I’s entrapped inside the nucleus. In other words, create sort of a prison around us at our very base.

They have, as the scientists say, a very short range - some 10-15 meters (prisons are not meant to be long ranged, you know!), and are carried out through the agency of virtual particles of the same kind as their main participators i.e., hadrons, besides of some others such as ‘gluons,’ which also belong to the virtual realm inside the nucleus.

If electromagnetic attractions or repulsions were the main cause of the creation of the species animals, this cage, this prison of the strongly interacting nucleons was the main cause of the creation of Homo sapiens.

Just put a primate in a cage for a considerable length of time and he will begin to develop all the traits of the humans*. Likewise, just put Mosc freshly freed from the electromagnetic clutches into the strong interactions created nucleic prison and it will begin to develop self-consciousness, thought process, language and all that, leading ultimately to man’s much flaunted intellectual prowess.

This imprisonment at the very base, in fact, is the main reason man - and only man of all the species - asks questions, and as a consequence acquires knowledge. Homo in the name Homo sapiens stands for the above-mentioned home or prison and subsequent acquiring of knowledge by them to free themselves of this prison, to outgrow that prison, entitles them to the adjective sapiens. As Jung sort of confirms it in one of his so famous visions: ‘Life and the whole world struck me as a prison…I had been so glad to shed it…’

In fact, our psychological terms such as id, ego and super-ego are also nothing but the functions of electromagnetic, strong and weak interactions respectively at our base. At species level these represent animals, man, and superman; for our human life-cycles these represent our youth, middle-age and old-age. The above mentioned human traits, in fact, are the development of ego and ego-functions in previously id propelled animals.

At the species level, these strong interactions caused the creation of man. Within the species man, these caused the creation of what historians call the Settled man. At our present global cultural cycle level, which began with the beginning of the AD era, these caused the creation of science and rational philosophy, collectively called the age of reason. Within this science and rational philosophy cycle, these caused the creation of post quantum-relativistic ‘isolating,’ ‘alienating,’ ‘tragic’ so-called nuclear science best expressed in the following words by Jacques Monod in his book Chance and Necessity:

"Man must at last awake from his millenary dream; and in doing so, awake to his total solitude, his fundamental isolation. Now does he at least realize that, like a gypsy, he lives on the boundary of an alien world..."

And all the post-war pessimistic philosophies giving birth to words such as anguish, angst, nothingness and so on. In other words, giving birth collectively to our Age of Reason and Anxiety.

And finally at personal levels, in our personal life-cycles, these interactions are the cause of our so-called middle-age crisis.

There are, in fact, endless cycles within cycles, or better still, spirals within spirals as I wrote somewhere back, and the third stage of every cycle, third step of every spiral of every spiral staircase, third nucleotide base of every DNA - and the phenomena of life produced accordingly, or as the scientists say, the phenotype developed accordingly - has been the outcome of these strong interactions.

With the science of Prigogine and his collaborators, of David Bohm and other ‘philosophers of science’ I mentioned in a previous chapter, with the intuitions of Fritzof Capra and the like, we as a global culture are moving beyond even the range of these strong interactions. Thenceforth, we will be entering the realm of the weak interactions, where instead of alienation, suffocation we would be experiencing wholeness, freedom, spontaneity. Where the science, the philosophy of ‘to be’ would direct our actions rather than, as of now, the science, the philosophy of ‘to know.’ Our culture then will not be the scientific culture in the real sense of the word, would not be the intellectual or rational culture so to say, but would be the culture of intelligence. Which has known, seen life inside-out and now enjoys it within its limits - and would even be ready to pass out when the time comes which is inevitable a la the coming of the Dark Periods after the Golden Period of the Greeks some two thousands years before.
