“Pardon, old father, my mistaking eyes that have been
so bedazzled with the sun that everything I look on seemeth green.”
William Shakespeare
We encounter Ouroboros in a funeral book found in Tutankhamun's tomb in the 14th century BC.
The sun god Ra joins the fertility goddess Osiris in the world of the dead and symbolizes the rebirth of Ra, now through Osiris, creating not only a cycle that unites the end with the beginning, but also the evolutionary character of this cycle, since each rebirth represents the enrichment of Ra's consciousness through the acquisition of new experiences.
In the same way, we patch our scientific models by adding to the new cycle the evolution represented by the patch. Okay, the right thing to do would be to go back to the beginning and review the whole process. But who is really willing to give up 20, 30 or more years of research? Of certainties?
It is through the cooperation of imagination, data collection, and experience that we have gone from a tiny planet in a corner of a not-so-large galaxy to an entire Universe.
In 1963, astronomers discovered objects that were highly red-shifted -meaning they were billions of light-years away- yet they were emitting energy equivalent to that of a hundred galaxies.
How could this be possible in our astronomical models? How could one object be emitting so much light? Could Hubble be completely wrong in his model?
If that were the case, we would have to throw everything out. The Doppler effect in calculating displacements, our knowledge of nuclear physics, and the very comfortable relationship between distance and energy emission.
Best not.
Let's add a patch to our model and call it a quasar.
Quasi-stellar bodies, or quasars, that emit immense amounts of energy and are located at the edge of the visible Universe.
Aldilà comincia la morte, Dante would say.
