What does topology have to offer us as individuals?

 

 

Part I of II

 

Topology offers us hope.

 

Topology offers us the idea that perhaps there are universal truths that reach beyond the universe itself.

Topology is a field of mathematics that has such a firm belief in universal

truths that it seeks to actually find them.

 

The term ‘universal truths’ is misleading. Universal truths really refer to truths that extend beyond the boundaries of our known universe.

 

Since time appears to be a factor of our universe, universal truths would appear to be concepts that reach beyond time, concepts that describe eternity itself.

 

We associate life as being limited by time.

 

If universal truths could exist, then it is possible that the essence of life, awareness perhaps, could be associated with just such concepts as universal truths.

 

Topology gives us the understanding that science and theoretical mathematics are now beginning to acknowledge the possibility of eternal existence.

 

This acknowledgment may not be one they are boldly announcing, but it is one they are quietly accepting by searching with topology.
