  1. I was hoping for more feedback. Wouldn't it cool to have a first forum generated theory proving the power of a global mind? Even the moderators aren't attacking the idea in hopes of putting it into speculations.
  2. My theory of complexity in a way that cites physical laws and defines new terms used. The law of conservation of mass states that for any system closed to all transfers of matter and energy, the mass of the system must remain constant over time, as system mass cannot change quantity if it is not added or removed while the law of conservation of energy states that the total energy of an isolated system remains constant. According to Einstein’s Mass–energy equivalence, having mass has an equivalent amount of energy and vice versa and so mass and energy are related. Using these physics principles, I define complex natural systems as being a concentration of mass and energy held together by balancing forces such as gravity, the nuclear weak force, and the nuclear strong force. Greater complexity can be defined as an increase in concentration of mass and energy and balancing forces can be defined as the forces responsible for maintaining the concentration of mass and energy. According to Aquinas, there must be a first mover because things do not move if there is no mover. In other words, how can something spontaneously appear out of nothing? Currently, there is no explanation as to why there is energy. The law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed but how is there energy if energy cannot be created. Also, even if one is as skeptical as Descartes, the ability to think means that there is something rather than nothing, and something cannot spontaneous appear out of nothing if “nothing” doesn't have at least one innate and eternal property. Therefore, chronic imbalance in my theory is the one innate and eternal property that the universe has. Imbalance being the innate and eternal property creates mass and energy, or complexity according to my definition. Gravity holds this concentration of mass and energy in place, making it a balancing force in my theory, to create a complex natural system because there is a concentration of mass and energy being held together. If an increase in concentration of mass and energy does not get held together by a balancing force, the concentration of mass and energy will return to its original state and a more complex natural system will not be created. Therefore, because of chronic imbalance, the universe is never in a state of equilibrium and so there is a chance that complex natural systems may concentrate to create complexity and if the right balancing force holds them together, more complex natural systems are created. More complex natural systems need stronger balancing forces to hold them together in threshold moments when the conditions are just right. Over time, imbalance creates complexity. Complexity gets held together by balancing forces in threshold moments when conditions are just right, to create even more complex natural systems till we have everything we see in the universe. In summary, imbalance is the mechanism causing the increase in concentration of mass and energy into a closed system. Complexity is the increase in concentration of mass and energy in a system. Balancing force is the force holding mass and energy together. Complex natural systems are concentrations of mass and energy being held together by balancing forces to form a closed system.
