In Eastern philosophical musings, the notion of the Void, of emptiness, is purported to pervade and uphold existence. Rather than being a universal sink that announces an ending, it is instead associated with an origin, a source from which existence emerges. It’s Western philosophical counterpart was formulated in the existentialist tradition wherein nothingness frames the absolute and functions as an inherent part of an encompassing notion of Being.

Various cosmic entities have been detected in scientific measurements; black holes scattered in the cosmos are hypothesized as epicenters of annihilation, as cosmic vacuums that absorb matter and bend the continuum of space-time, and dark matter remains an elusive mystery. I explore here concepts related to the void, to emptiness, nothingness, black holes, dark matter and energetic perturbations, cosmic sources and sinks.

In order to find Being, one must concentrate what is.
In order to reach the void, one must conceive what is not.
Our living time: is
whence we are not: is not

One departs: at the beginning - is
To attain: at the end - is not

To be clear of what is
Is to be permeable to what is not
