Omega Zero; Are we scientifically discovering God?
by Devin Harris

Abstract: In considering the recent discovery that cosmological expansion is accelerating at an ever-increasing rate toward the extreme physics of absolute zero, the field of cosmology is understandably at a loss for conceptual representation of the distant future. Science is in an unprecedented adjustment period since the absolute zero future we are being forced to consider was previously ruled impossible. Part one of this essay considers the consequences of admitting absolute zero as a possible state in the partition of states considered available to the evolution of space-time, and considers reasons why reaching zero might be the overall objective of time. In investigating the role of zero within the set of all possible states we recognize that if the direction of time is indeed aimed at zero, then the second law of thermodynamics is too simple to explain time’s arrow. Part two, in considering how an absolute zero state fits into an order-disorder gradient, proposes the central theme of the paper, a theory that there are two opposing types of order present in nature, rather than simply order and disorder, a step which directly challenges the second law in a general way not considered previously. The concrete discovery of two orders resolves into focus a major conceptual shift first advocated in western science by physicist David Bohm. It exposes a supreme state in physical reality and leads to a teleological model of cosmological evolution. In support of this shift, part three presents a surprising switch in mathematical modality, what one reader referred to as God’s math, where positive and negative numbers, or matter and anti-matter, are understood to combine rather than cancel, making absolute zero a unified whole value, rather than nothing. This essay introduces several valuable and highly thought provoking fundamental concepts which, like the anthropic principle prior to 1974, have not yet been explored in mainstream science.

The essay Omega Zero studys the role of absolute zero in cosmology. The central proposal in part two is that rather than order and disorder, there are two types of order in nature, what I call grouping order and symmetry order, and that systems don't actually evolve toward disorder, but rather from one type of order to another. It's difficult knowing the full weight of this one proposal, the countless applications to every field in science, biology, psychology, economics, politics.
