THE EQUATIONS OF CREATION
By: Neil Urian S. Mabulay
I'm not a fundamentalist nor a creationist, and I dont even believe in a supernatural entity. But I just think that if the book of Genesis in the old testament is to be modified, it should be modified into something like this.
These beautiful equations explain the structure of the universe and serve as the foundation of modern physics.
The first equation is Einstein's Field Equation also known as General Relativity. It describes how mass distorts the fabric of spacetime, thus affecting the shape of space and the flow of time, resulting to an attractive force called gravity. The equation also predicted that the universe had a beginning. The 'lambda' in the equation is called Einstein's Cosmological Constant. Today, astronomers refer to one theory of Dark Energy as the cosmological constant. Dark energy, for all we know, is the unknown force that drives the expansion of the universe. The theory says that dark energy has been steady and constant throughout time and will remain that way.
The second equation is Newton's Law of Gravitation. It describes Gravity as the long range attractive force between two objects with mass. The equation tells us how strong the gravitational attraction is depending on how massive the objects are and how far away they are from each other. It explains how galaxies, stars, planets such as the Earth, and other celestial objects formed in the heavens over time.
The third equation is the Bekenstein-Hawking Equation. It explains how black holes emit thermal radiation called the Hawking Radiation and evaporate over time. A black hole is a region of spacetime in which gravity is so intense that nothing can escape from it, not even light. The equation describes how black-hole entropy is proportional to the area of its event horizon -- the boundary of a black hole beyond which events cannot affect an outside observer also known as the point of no return.
The last equations are Maxwell's Equations of Electromagnetism also known as the Equation of Light. They describe how electric charges and electric currents produce electric and magnetic fields. Further, they describe how an electric field can generate a magnetic field, and vice versa.
The four equations are as follows:
(1) Gauss’s Law
There are two types of charges, positive and negative, just as there are two types of real numbers, positive and negative. Electric field lines diverge from positive charge and converge on negative charge.
(2) No One’s Law
There is no magnetic monopole. Magnetic field lines neither converge nor diverge (have no beginning or end).
(3) Faraday’s law
Electric field lines don’t curl; except when the magnetic field changes.
(4) Ampère’s law
Magnetic field lines curl around electric current; and also curl when the electric field changes.
All these equations, the equations of creation as being described in this article, though it doesn't make the book of genesis true, pretty much fit in the poetry of the oldest book that is said to have ever been written by man.
