Universal
Vortical Singularity contemplation on ancient
concepts of cyclical universe
This
Bagua
diagram
with a Ying-Yang
symbol encircled in eight trigrams is truly amazing.
Bagua
are eight diagrams used in Taoist cosmology to represent a range of interrelated
concepts, its origin from China is dated as far back as mid 2800s BC.
The term Bagua, is pronounced as bā guà, the Chinese word bā
means eight and guà means trigram; bā guà literally
refers to the eight triagrams. The Chinese word Tào refers to the course,
path or way of nature. Each triagrm is denoted by three ying-yang lines
and there are two types of such line. The solid line represents yang,
the creative principle, and the open line represents yin, the receptive
principle. The Bagua diagram is conceptually a template or a ruler within
the Taoist cosmology to track changes based on I
Ching, as the cosmology centres on the ideas of the dynamic balance
of opposites, the evolution of events as a process, and acceptance of
the inevitability of change. In Chinese
philosophy, yin and yang are generalized descriptions of the antitheses
or mutual correlations in human perceptions of phenomena in the natural
world, combining to create a unity of opposites in the theory of the Taiji.
The concept of Wu
Xing in Bagua was derived from the motions of the five
naked-eye planets.

This is fundamentally
a universal universe model of perpetual changing in cyclical manner developed
by ancient Chinese thousands of years ago, and it is a wonder how did they derive
to this during those time. With the Bagua model they seems to be more knowledgeable
in some areas than what modern scientists are still learning and ignorance of.
However, over time this universe model was marred by myths and has had strayed
in developments of all sorts. There are many other aspects that implicates Bagua
concept as in ontology, mythology, astrology, geography, geomancy, anatomy,
the family, martial arts, fortune-telling and elsewhere. However, for contemplation
with UVS, it is mainly looked into its inference in cosmology, astronomy, natural
phenomena and its capability in predicting natural events.

-
The Limitless (Wuji)
produces the delimited, and this is the Absolute (Taiji).
-
The Taiji produces two forms, named yin
and yang.
-
The two forms produce four phenomena, named lesser yin, great yin (taiyin
also means the Moon), lesser yang, great yang (taiyang also means the
Sun).
- The
four phenomena act on the eight trigrams (ba gua), eight eights are
sixty-four hexagrams.

The unity in duality of Ying and Yang circle through Universal Vortical Singularity
contemplation, can be conceivable in several ways:
- Representing
the
opposite complimentary pair of polar vortices on a spheroid with rotation
axis tilted at an angle.
- A
unity in duality of Ying and Yang symbol as the force interactions of a dual-core
vortex.
- The
entire vortical interactions of the push-in vortical culmination of a unisonal vortex (ying) that drive a vortrex
(yang) as the equal energy reversed push-out vortical distribution of momentum
in viscous matter, the phenomenon of such are the gas
and dust tail of a comet, dust
devil with its clear air vortex, and electron-positron
pair.
It can be interpreted to be representing the opposite complimentary pair
of polar vortices on a spheroid with rotation axis tilted at an angle;
stretched vortex in perpetual motion view at a titled angle would render
this perceivable visual. The Ying is the polar vortex at one pole and
the Yang is the polar vortex at the other pole, both spinning cyclonicly
on a spheroid, and viewing the dynamic spheroid from top on revolving
axis that is tilted from rotating axis from South Pole, it would be the
exact shape of the Ying and Yang symbol, with the polar vortex behind
the spheroid conceptually view as Ying in a shade of shadow. The model
of Bagua ressembles the model of Universal Vortical Singularity in these
manners.
Perhaps
the clockwise rotation of the Ying and Yang symbol was derived as a result
of observation on movement of celestial objects in ancient China on mid
latitude at Northern hemisphere with the idea that Earth was in stillness;
the ancient Chinese could not have known that Earth is a suspended spheroid
revolving around Sun. |

The five
elements (Wu Xing) in Bagua for Chinese
astrology refers to the five naked-eye planets, these planets are Mercury,
Mars, Venus, Jupiter and Saturn, in Chinese they are named after the five elements
of nature; water, fire, metal, wood and earth respectively. The Chinese word
Wǔ means five, and Xíng means motion or movement, the term Wu Xing
of Bagua in Taoist cosmology refers to the precession cycles of these five naked-eye
planets that are in varying perpectual cyclic motion. The Chinese Zodiac is
a twelve year cycle, Chinese calendar are linked to the orbit of Jupiter, there
being twelve sacred beasts in the Chinese astrological cycle, and twelve years
in the orbit of Jupiter; each year of the twelve year cycle in Chinese astrology
is represented by a character of the twelve Chinese Zodiac animal symbols. Every
sixty-year cycle on day one of Chinese lunisolar calender, Sun, Earth and a
new moon are aligned with Jupiter and Saturn that have returned to their approximate
celestial positions of a specific formation in their Chinese
constellations on a precession cycle of approximately sixty years that primarily
involves Saturn and Jupiter; every year of this sixty-year sexagenary
cycle is denoted by a combination of Celestial
Stem and Earthly
Branch. In modern astronomy, Saturn and Jupiter is know to have a coincidental
'near' ratios of mean motion in an orbital
resonance, the ratio is almost 2:5. Every two revolving cycle of Saturn
around Sun in a period of almost sixty years (59.3 years),
Jupiter would have made almost five revolving cycle around Sun with a slight
angular mismatch, this angular mismatch renders a shift of their celestial positions
observed from Earth in a fixed Saturn-Jupiter configuration in the celestial
sky with a precession cycle of almost sixty years involving Saturn, Jupiter
and Sun. It is obvious that these are the foundations in Bagua for different
precession cycles of solar system objects from the Earth's frame. See
topics on "Solar
system alignment effect" and "Sunspot".
The
trigrams diagram can be used to represent the phases of a spheroid in a precession
on two axes, with eight phases on each axis gets sixty-four scenarios (8 x 8
) for eight eights of trigrams, thus there are sixty-four
hexagrams in I-Ching. Having recorded the phenomena in every phase on a
daily basis over a long period of time in a statistical compilation, it could
render as references for predictions of natural events that recur in a cyclical
manner, and it can be cross-referenced by tracking the cosmos in night sky for
I-Ching analogies to relate the observation to the sixty-four hexagrams.
In
the Battle
of Red Cliffs, despite a situation of being greatly outnumbered by the army
of warlord Cao Cao, Zhuge
Liang might have used the Bagua knowledge and thus defeated a vastly overwhelming
invading enemy without having a direct confrontation. It was mentioned that
Zhuge Liang had observed the night sky to track the positions of grouped stars
as in Chinese constellations and he was was known to be proficient in astronomy;
he could be doing that to make Bagua prediction based on I-Ching analysis and
he had anticipated a crucial wind direction change on a certain day. In anticipation
of the critical change in wind direction to come from the southeast that was
unusual in that season, battleplans were made and military strategies were executed
well in advance to prepare for that day when wind direction was least expected
by anyone to be changed at all. It was mentioned in "Romance
of the Three Kingdoms" that Zhuge Liang had created the impression
for others that he has the ability to summon wind. On the day when wind direction
did changed as anticipated, the enemy fleet of warships moored from stem to
stem (it was also mentioned in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"
that the enemy was duped to moor their warships
side by side according to Zhuge Liang's
battleplan) were almost entirely wiped out in a blaze fanned by the changed
wind direction.
The
animation below for tide is illustrated in eight moon phases, and with
the seasonal variation also segregated into eight phases, as in spring,
mid spring, summer, mid summer, autumn, mid autumn, winter and mid winter.
The 64 cyclical senarios of Sun and Moon positions with respect to Earth
in a lunisolar
prcession could
be denoted by the sixty-four hexagrams in I-Ching analogies of the Bagua
model. A refined type of ocean tides senarios based on sixty-four hexagrams
in a cyclical manner on localized phenomena can be predicted. This principle
of Bagua is similar to astronomical
precession, and it is probably also applicable to make I-Ching predictions
for wind directions based on historical events. The
day one for Chinese lunisolar
calendar of the month is always on the phase of a new moon, and
mid
months is always on the phase of a full moon.
The
M81 galaxy also displayed a unity in duality of Ying and Yang symbol
as a dual-core vortex, with the main leading vortex as Yang and a regressing
secondary vortex as Yin, perfectly balanced as a complimenting pair.
The dual-core though are very near to each other, is merged towards
the bottom and separating away towards the surface. This similar characteristic
can be observed in the image for oceanic whirlpool but to a lesser apparent
degree with the harmonics formed on varying phases of this dual-core
vortex.

Ironically,
the modern day weather forecast has often been not accurate even for predictions
within a few days, but the ancient Chinese were able to make climate predictions
fairly accurately in months ahead in a general manner that has a
precession cycle
of approximately
sixty
years.
The dipole anisotropy
pattern of cosmic microwave background radiation (CMBR)
"Our
Earth is not at rest. The Earth moves around the Sun. The Sun orbits the
center of the Milky Way Galaxy. The Milky Way Galaxy orbits in the Local
Group of Galaxies. The Local Group falls toward the Virgo Cluster of Galaxies.
But these speeds are less than the speed that all of these objects together
move relative to the cosmic microwave background (CMBR). In the all-sky
map on right, radiation in the Earth's direction of motion appears blueshifted
and hence hotter, while radiation on the opposite side of the sky is redshifted
and colder. The map indicates that the Local Group moves at about 600
kilometers per second relative to this primordial radiation. This high
speed was initially unexpected and its magnitude is still unexplained.
Why are we moving so fast? What is out there?" -
Excerpt from Astronomy Picture of the Day on COBE temperature map of the CMBR dipole, NASA.
From
the perspective of Universal Vortical Singularity, the dipole anisotropy
pattern of cosmic
microwave background radiation (CMBR) in false
color temperature map as measured by the COBE
mission, is a scientific evidence that the observable physical universe
is precessing in a vortical motion with self-perpetual motion. It resembles
the Ying and Yang symbol of the Taijitu
diagram, its concept suggest the universe is in a state of constant cyclical
motions of Tao
in a complimentary pair that in its wake it manifests the characteristics
for duality of nature for all existence. See
a topic on "The
dipole anisotropy pattern of CMBR". |

The
first wave
animation on right simulates the circle wave on the water surface,
the second wave animation shows the interference pattern between two circle
waves on the water surface. There is a "S" pattern between the
two sources of the circle waves and the interference pattern in antiphase
forms a total of sixteen spokes around their centroid.
This two-dimensional active interference pattern that has formed naturally
with antiphase offsetting of two circle waves resembles the wonderful
Bagua diagram in many aspects.

The
wisdom of ancient Chinese that have had conceived the Bagua concept as a cyclic
model of the Universe is marvelous.
Ancient concepts of cyclical universe in a glance
The symbol for Star
of David in Leningrad
Codex resembles the image of Saturn's polar vortex incredibly in details,
as in dual-triangle star formation in hexagonal shape, encased in several octagonal
formations and then encompassed in an outer circular ring with nested small
homogenous pattern of rings; see a section on polar vortex of Saturn in complex
vortical modeling.
The
symbol of Swastika
in a decorative Hindu form resembles the image of an aurora
very closely as shown below, as in the lumniated vortical aurora with four spiral
arms formation of harmonic vortices that have formed with quarterly shifted
angular phases in a progressive manner, and with their four harmonic vortex
cores (vaguely visible) they form a quadrilateral-like
vortex structure with an asymmetrical pattern.

Apparently,
the symbols of Bagua,
Star of David and Swastika are some of the ancient concepts of cyclical universe
from different cultures according to their perceptions and interpretations on
the universal forces for creations and evolution of nature.
In
ancient Greece, Anaximander
postulated the concept of vortex in his Apeiron
cosmology based on geocentric model and stated that universe is filled with
an indestructible common stuff he called it apeiron (aether), the vortex aspect
was said to be inspired by his master Thales.
Thales was regarded as the first philosopher in the Greek tradition, he was
known for his innovative use of geometry and seems to have predicted a solar
eclipse, also said to have wrote "On the Solstice" and "On the
Equinox". Anaximander is considered to be the master of Pythagoras
whom his Pythagorean
heliocentrism
was later championed by Aristarchus.
Unfortunately, much of Anaximander work was lost and therefore the literature
of his Apeiron cosmology was not very clear. Among the early ancient Greek philosophers,
Anaxagoras
was said to have further advanced Anaximander's idea, he was an astronomer and
a man of science, in his philosophy
of nature he developed a vortex theory after observing vortices and spiral
phenomena in nature and believed the world was created through the rotary motion
of a spiral, and he could explain the centrifugal force on mechanical principles.
See an external link on "From
cosmic whirl to vortices".
These
amazing ancient Greeks with the philosophy of an infinite oneness universe (singularity)
had clearly established the concept of
an aether-filled universe that was based on vortex mechanism, and also the concept
of heliocentric cosmology with a spherical
Earth among other spherical planets are revolving around the Sun, and the
Sun orbits the central fire along with everything else, and
had scientifically explained these concepts with geometry and mechanical principles.
The concept of a spherical Earth dates back to around the 6th century BC in
ancient Greek philosophy. Pythagoras reasoned that Earth and the other planets
must be spheres, since the most harmonious geometric solid form is a sphere,
he also mentioned that "the
Sun orbited the central fire along with everything else" and this seems
to be a concept of spiral galaxy.
After the fifth century BC, no Greek writer of repute thought the world was
anything but round. In Anaximander philosophy, he had also mentioned that human
was evolved from other animal species living in water, this was mentioned more
than two thousand years before Charles Darwin's theory
of evolution.

model of Universal Vortical Singularity", "The
structure of a galaxy", "Cosmic
evolution of stars and galaxies", "Vortically
expanding Universe" and "Unisonal

posting on the suggestion of ancient symbols that are succinct and tend
to inspire, such as Plato’s perfect circle, Zen’s incomplete circle,
the Star of David, Pythagoras’s Odd/Even numbers and others.

Author's note: When I was awakened to the idea
of a vortical universe in May 2007 and subsequently has developed the model
of Universal Vortical Singularity (UVS), I was not aware that such idea was
first mentioned in the early ancient Greek philosophy, and was also not aware
of the Cartesian
vortex cosmology by Rene Descartes until Jim Mash (Author of "Fluid
Energy theory") brought this to my attention in June 2008. Another
modern era publication that had categorically mentioned vortex universe is a
vortex theory called "Three-Dimensional
Spiral String Theory" by Vladimir B. Ginzburg, this only came into
my attention in June 2009 after the vortical universe concept for UVS was quite
developed with 138 qualitative
predictions. June 2009.
