The Sum Of Our Lives

In an ever changing world filled with new scientific discoveries and a relatively newfound ease of access to knowledge and information... Does the understanding of our existence grow, or through our understanding of it, do we create even more questions?

One recurring pattern throughout every facet of our existence, seems to be based in mathematics.

Try to picture every living thing on planet earth. Seems pretty tough, right? There's well over a million living species of plants, animals, fungi, lichen, and bacteria documented on Earth. But each and every one of them was created using one simple formula. The Golden Ratio and/or the Fibonacci Sequence. Both are observable, mathematical expressions within nature that define our physical development. Our bodies and every living thing we see around us, is the sum of these expressions defined by our genetics, our DNA.

Even DNA, the code of life, uses its own "self correcting" mathematical equation...

"Imagine that someone gives you a mystery novel with an entire page ripped out.

And let’s suppose someone else comes up with a computer program that reconstructs the missing page, by assembling sentences and paragraphs lifted from other places in the book.

Imagine that this computer program does such a beautiful job that most people can’t tell the page was ever missing.

DNA does that."

Below is a link (from which this excerpt was taken) explaining the mathematics of DNA much better then I ever could, but suffice to say that even within the building blocks of physical existence, we find more mathematical code.

The Mathematics Of DNA

Even stranger still is the entire universe and the fabric of our existence... Seems to have it's own mathematical self correcting code!

Physicist Sylvester James Gates, a theoretical physicist who works on supersymmetry, supergravity, and superstring theory, has discovered self correcting code within the fabric of our reality. The very style of code we use today that powers our search engines and internet browsers.

I'm not sure what it all means or represents about our reality. All I'm left with wondering is, what is the sum of MY life? My tears, my laughter, my successes, my failures, the relationships I build and the way I treat myself and others... These actions and expressions of ourselves seem to be more then just numbers and series of predefined outcomes.

The sum of my existence is the experiences the universe provides me. Who knows, in a world based in math, somebody might actually be keeping score...

First article I've written here, looking forward to many more.
