In the UVS worldview, the entire structure of the observable universe is formed in a topsy-turvy vortical universe, and it is thus intrinsically imbued with its paradoxical nature. In the vortical universe, all physical existences and natural phenomena are harmonically resonated to vortically form, they therefore are inherited with its paradoxical characteristic.

“The observable universe is paradoxical.” - UVS inspired -

From the UVS perspective, the paradoxical effect of nature is caused by the unisonal vortex mechanism of the vortical universe, which could manifest all sorts of subliminal delusive circumstances to naturally negate the observations of natural phenomena; the vortex mechanism is the causality for all sorts of natural cognitive paradoxes in the naturally negated observations of natural phenomena.

The paradoxical effect of nature subliminally manifests cognitive paradoxes by negating the observation of natural phenomena in delusive circumstances to enigmatically render them with all sorts of delusively inversed illusion.

The study on the paradoxical effect of nature for epistemic theories of truth in the UVS research with its grounded theory method, is focused on resolving natural cognitive paradoxes with inductive resolutions on the naturally negated observations of the natural phenomena that demonstrate vortical characteristics. This is through identifying the vortical fractals of unisonal vortex in the natural phenomena based on the UVS model for their analyses in the conceptual frameworks of UVS, and thus understands the mechanism of their natural negations on how the delusions are subliminally rendered with the manifested cognitive paradoxes in their negated observations.

A vortical fractal of unisonal vortex.

Heuristically, this can elevate the perceptions of an observer for the natural phenomena to their transcendental perspectives to know how the cognitive paradoxes are counterintuitive, how they can mislead people with their delusively inversed illusions, and to fundamentally understand how such naturally negated observations, have had led to their cognitive paradox fallacies.

An empirically resolved example to illustrate a subliminal natural negation, is with the perception of the Sun that rises in the east from the horizon. The Sun does not rise like it is apparently seen. This is merely a perception on a rotating Earth that renders its relative motion illusion in its delusion. Its subliminal natural negation is caused by its observation in a localized perspective on an apparently motionless Earth that rotates. The delusional observation of a rising Sun, is paradoxically a cognitive contradiction of its actuality. This is a subliminally negated perception in a topsy-turvy manner, which is rendered in its naturally obscured delusory circumstances.

Sunrise - The Sun apparently rises from the horizon.

Most of us now can accept without a slightest doubt that the Earth rotates, and thus could comprehend in its transcendental perspective on how the cognitive paradox of sunrise is rendered in its delusion. However, for millenniums in the past, the majority of people from all over the whole wide world in its illusion of knowing, were incognizantly misled by its paradoxical effect that subliminally negates to render its delusion, and thus has had led to its physical paradoxes with all sorts of geocentrism.

The illusion of knowing in a delusion is apparently real in its cognitive paradox.

A paradoxical effect can consistently fool us with its cognitive paradox in its state of delusion.

With manifold negating factors that are naturally manifested in the perceptions of the typical human observers, the underlying paradoxical effect causes natural phenomena to be intermingled with multifarious cognitive paradoxes for their apparent observations, and thus these observations would always paradoxically render as wonders to the subliminally negated observers under all sorts of delusive circumstances. These wonders of nature, are naturally rendered in their delusively inversed illusions that are caused by their their subliminally manifested cognitive paradoxes, and therefore they are counterintuitive, mysterious, confusing, and paradoxically misleading.

“Delusion is the mother of all its illusions of knowledge.” - UVS inspired -

Paradoxically, the Sun does not rise in the east like it apparently seems to be, it is not stationary nor is it the center of the universe like it had been believed to be so with the putative laws of physics, and it is also not the center of the Solar System like it is being thought as with conventional wisdom; nothing could be further from the truth than these false facts of past and present that were conceived in all sorts of delusion.

See the UVS topics on "The cognitive paradox fallacy in Copernican heliocentrism" that elaborates on the unisonal vortex mechanism of the Solar System with its cognitive paradox resolved in its transcendental perspective, and "Allegory of a flat Earth event" that illustrates an invoked transcendental perception for resolving its cognitive paradox.

Without realizing the cognitive paradoxes that negate to cause delusions in the observable universe, the paradoxical effect of nature has had fooled even the very intelligent people.

The realization of a cognitive paradox, awakens to its transcendental perspective that elucidates its delusion.

With the delusion of a natural phenomenon elucidated, it reveals the subliminal natural negation of its manifested paradoxical effect that causes its cognitive paradox.

When one looks into the night sky to observe celestial objects, negated by limited speed of light, all things observed are images of the past. Barring the errors in their measurements, the nearest celestial object as observed is the image of the Moon that is about one plus second ago, the Sun as observed is its image about eight minutes and twenty seconds ago at where it was, the nearest star Proxima Centauri as observed is its image of more than four years ago, the nearest spiral galaxy Andromeda as observed is its image of approximately two and a half million years ago, and a most distance galaxy Abell 1835 IR1916 as observed is its image of more than thirteen billion years ago. In real time, all these celestial objects would have had moved to the locations according to their trajectories; they are not at the locations where they are apparently appearing to be. Also, the first supernova caught in the act of its runaway explosion on January 9th, 2008, labeled as SN 2008D, was in fact an event that had occurred approximately 88 million years ago at that moment when it was being observed from Earth.

“Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.” - Albert Einstein

See the UVS subtopic on “The cognitive paradox fallacy in cosmic inflation on accelerated expansion of space” that elaborates on how the cognitive paradox of an important modern discovery in astrophysics was resolved with its delusion elucidated.

In nature, the apparently observed natural phenomena that are being paradoxically rendered in all sorts of delusion with their delusively inversed illusions, are aplenty.

With an intuitive-inductive approach to analyse apparently observed natural phenomena based on the UVS model in the conceptual frameworks of UVS, it could elucidate delusions to resolve cognitive paradoxes with the hypothetical constructs that illustrate the underlying structures and mechanisms of the natural phenomena. And the enigmas of the natural phenomena, could thus be resolved by knowing how the paradoxical effect of nature, subliminally negates to cause the circumstances of their delusions. As such, this epistemic process in its coherently grounded transcendental perspectivalism, could coherently render the elucidated mental images for enigmatic natural phenomena, and thus enlightenly induces the resolutions with pristine clarity that have very profound resolving capabilities for the revelations of their actualities.

Enlightenment on the paradoxical effect of nature, enlightens.

Being enlightened in the conceptual frameworks of UVS with its inductive resolutions, has an awakening effect for understanding how nature could render natural phenomena in all sorts of delusory observations. This is by discerning the subliminally manifested paradoxical effects, so as to resolve all sorts of cognitive paradoxes that are manifested with all sorts of negations in a typical topsy-turvy manner.

With the inductive resolutions in the conceptual frameworks of UVS for resolving the subliminally manifested paradoxical effects of enigmatic natural phenomena, it thus has had uncovered many types of naturally occurred cognitive paradoxes that are delusively rendering their empirically observed natural phenomena with all sorts of delusively inversed illusion.

This epistemic process resolves the cognitive paradoxes of enigmatic natural phenomena with the elucidations of their delusions.

“By elucidating delusions, it induces the resolutions on actualities.” - UVS inspired -

See the UVS topic on “Significant revolutionary discoveries of UVS" for some illustrations on elucidated delusions of natural phenomena.

The explorations on enigmas experienced in a contemplating process, can be analogous to a person who is working out for a way to get out of the wood at night, and has been stumbling in the dark to no avail. Then with unexpected flashes of lightning bolts, whatever that were difficult to work out in the darkness, are suddenly illuminated. In flashes, the lightnings thus render the visions for the scenes that were obscured by darkness. Therefore, those difficult to work out enigmatic scenes that were optically negated in the darkness, are then visually and vividly popped out to him in the sudden overall illuminations. This thus renders a holistic view of the actual scenarios with pristine clarity, and it could therefore trigger an explosion of discoveries with the enigmas resolved.

Lightning strikes

This manner of acquiring knowledge that is required for breaking through, is enlightened intuitively.

For the discovery of Archimedes' Principle, a breakthrough was made while Archimedes was taking a bath, he noticed that the level of the water in the tub rose as he got in, and realized that this effect could be used to determine the volume of the crown for a task he has undertaken at then. For practical purposes water is incompressible, so the submerged crown would displace an amount of water equal to its own volume. By dividing the weight of the crown by the volume of water displaced, the density of the crown could be obtained, and this was an intractable problem previously. Archimedes is said to have been so eager to share his realization that he leapt out of his bathtub and ran through the streets of Syracuse naked in a rush of jubilation proclaiming "Eureka!". Notice how the breakthrough idea had popped into his awareness in an instance on a subtle hint that is usually overlooked in a common everyday event.

“The only real valuable thing is intuition.” - Albert Einstein

Intuition is a cognitive function that has the ability to acquire knowledge without conscious reasoning. And a knowledge induced by intuition with pristine clarity in its visualization, has the element of surprise with a rush of jubilation for its enlightenment in a state of awakening that disperses its state of delusion. With the intuition for the actuality of an enigmatic natural phenomenon, it could elucidate its delusion for resolving its cognitive paradox, and thus solves the misconception, mystery, or anomaly of its apparent observation in its visual thinking.

To understand how the revolutionary discoveries of UVS were made with their inductive resolutions, one has to go through the discovery process himself. This can begin by understanding the abstracts on “The UVS model” and “The UVS worldview”, and then practice it on those enigmatic natural phenomena with resolved cognitive paradoxes, so as to understand the paradoxical effect of nature on how it renders all sorts of delusive circumstances in a typical topsy-turvy manner for their apparent observations.

By knowing the paradoxical effect of nature, it enlightens on how nature does wonders in a delusory inverse manner. This induces the resolutions on the actualities for the naturally negated observations of natural phenomena.

The awakening from delusion is enlightenment; awakened from delusion is enlightening.

After addressing the manifested paradoxical effect of an apparent observation with the UVS model, and at the moment of being snapped out of its delusion in its awakening, it could intuitively resolve its cognitive paradox with its transcendental perspective in the conceptual frameworks of UVS. Thereafter, other comparable enigmatic natural phenomena could thus be further explored with its comparative analyses in the UVS worldview, which can be investigated by addressing their comparable paradoxical effects for resolving their cognitive paradoxes in the generalization of a nested vortical paradigm that is scalable and transformable with the UVS model.

“The structure of the observable universe is a nested spheroidal vortical formation
in a paradigm of torus-shaped spheroidal unisonal vortices.” - UVS inspired -

Essentially, this is an epistemic process with positive feedback loops for the inductive resolutions on those comparable natural phenomena, where their apparent observations are also appearing to be enigmatic as a result of their manifested cognitive paradoxes that are similarly rendering their delusively inversed illusions in a typical topsy-turvy manner.

See "Preface" for suggestions on how to effectively explore UVS, and the "Afterword of UVS" for more insights into the developmental background of UVS.

With the enlightenments, it can be incredibly easy to perceive the actualities of the apparently observed natural phenomena, but paradoxically, under all sorts of subliminally negated circumstances, the state of such enlightenments can be extremely hard to attain.

Despite the paradoxical effect of nature could be explicitly understood, under the negated circumstances, its essence could be extremely difficult to grasp. The experience for acquiring this tacit knowledge, is in a way similar for anyone who tries to see the illusionary 3D image in a stereogram picture, and is not familiar with how to view it.

The more one tries to see the hidden image of a stereogram in a way he is usually accustomed to when looking at things, the more he could not get it at all no matter how hard he tries. It has to be perceived by using the "Single Finger Method" to induce a cross-eyed vision for its best perception. The 3D image that is hidden from plain sight right in front of our eyes, would then be miraculously revealed when our cross-eyed vision is being organized on the 2D pictorial. Image on right is a stereogram of a 3D counterclockwise vortex, its main vortex and harmonic vortices, are pointed toward the viewer. For beginner, enlarge the image for easier viewing, and it is recommended to use the "Single Finger Method" for visualizing the hidden image. After getting the hang of it, one can also view some very fascinating animated stereograms, such as "Helical wave patterns", and "Standing wave patterns".

A stereogram with a hidden image.

For the application of the UVS grounded methodology on any enigmatic natural phenomenon, first develops its hypothetical construct by systematically forming its underlying structure and mechanism based on the UVS model, then contemplates it with the intuitive-inductive approach in the conceptual frameworks of UVS, and then test the aroused inspiration with the UVS' theory of knowledge for its criteria of truth to evaluate its actuality. Apply necessary discretions appropriately to check with qualitative rigor for cogency, and also discreetly avoid the pitfalls of self-fulfilling prophecy.

It would be an awe-inspiring experience in an awakened state of enlightenment when one begins to realize how a natural wonder, could be actually working with its delusion elucidated in its inductive resolution. And with its epiphany, there are immerse interest and joys in finding things out. It is also mesmerizing to learn with the elucidated delusion, which would arouse the enthusiasm to dig up every information to understand any related working principles for the revelation, and turn every stone to find answers that could lead to evidence for supporting or against the inspired actuality. After mastering this tacit knowledge, and by applying its epistemic process and methodology with the UVS' philosophy of science, perhaps one might be able to make new discoveries in the field of his expertise on the research he aspires.

“We make our world significant by the courage of our questions and by the depth of our answers.” - Carl Sagan

Under paradoxical circumstances, when interpreting the actuality of a natural phenomenon as apparently observed, we could always be fooled by our preconceived ideas that innately arise with our inherent shortcomings. What we have believed as a truth that refers to reality is one thing, what is the truth could be another thing. And what we thought a natural phenomenon is doing as apparently observed, is often delusionally inversed from the actuality of the natural phenomenon that is paradoxically rendered.

The paradoxical effect of nature would always cause such natural phenomena to be counterintuitive for the subliminally negated observers; the actualities for such natural phenomena are always obscured in delusions that would subliminally negate our perception to mislead us in a topsy-turvy manner. Our awareness with preconceived ideas in fixed mindset is usually focused to only perceive what we have subconsciously prepared to accept, hence we are always misled by the manifested paradoxical effects with all sorts of delusion in topsy-turvy realms.

Watch a video clip on "Awareness test" that illustrates how something so distinct within the field of our direct vision, could be completely overlooked right in front of our nose.

“The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education.” - Albert Einstein

Always examine ourselves inward, the shortcomings such as flaws and limits are absolutely within us. And as a result of our obscured perceptions and limited bandwidths in many aspects, the actualities of subliminally negated natural phenomena are therefore not apparent to us. Don't be stubborn with our preconceived ideas, don't condition our thought with our wish for how should the natural events are being done, don't be impatient when fathoming any enigmatic natural phenomenon, don't confine the abilities of nature in our thoughts, don't be outright denial with what is being revealed to us, and most of all, don't let our ego rule.

The hardest part is with the egoistic attitude in us that would hold us from truly letting go preconceived ideas, and these would block us from any opportunity at all for resolving the cognitive paradox of any natural phenomenon that is paradoxically rendered; our ego would negate our intuition to prevent us from being able to realize the cognitive paradoxes that are rendered in delusive circumstances. Such preconceived ideas could only lead us to visualize any natural phenomenon with its confirmation bias, caused by how we have anticipated a preferred outcome that subconsciously would satisfy our deep-seated belief. Thus, our perception would always end up regressing inside paradoxical realms to let us firmly believe that all things are already thoroughly investigated, fully covered, and correctly understood. And with such illusions of knowing that are asserted with preconceived ideas, we can perpetually fool ourselves in all sorts of delusion.

See the UVS topic on "Logic and belief systems" that elaborates on the causalities from first principles for all sorts of science delusion.

“The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge.” - Stephen Hawking

The more we think we know something, the least we would explore outside our preconceived ideas at the ease of our comfort zone, and the more hindrance we would have with our arrogant when fathoming any natural phenomenon for its actuality.

When fathoming any enigmatic natural phenomenon, we must not fool ourselves.

Ironically, we must not be afraid of being fooled; we are fools fooling ourselves by afraid of being fooled after we are being subliminally fooled.

See the UVS topic on "Critiques of the scientific method" that elaborates on how we are being subliminally fooled by some deep-seated beliefs.

“The first principle is that you must not fool yourself -
- and you are the easiest person to fool.” - Richard Feynman

Regardless of how much we think we know about an enigmatic natural phenomenon, we have to be humble so as to become hollowed out for its ground work research, and accept that we could be fooled as a result of its subliminal negation. And to become truly humble for contemplating on the actualities of natural phenomena, it needs internalized cultivation to subdue our ego. This prerequisitely requires us to recognize and know that the hindrances and shortcomings are within us, and honestly acknowledges that inherently we are cognitively negated ignorant fools.

To fathom any natural phenomenon with the UVS model in its conceptual frameworks, all other preconceived ideas have to be put aside until we are hollowed out enough so as to become receptive to new ideas without prejudice, so that we would not reject and can thus intuitively visualize to contemplate on any inspiration that could be entirely different from what has been firmly believed.

“The only true wisdom is knowing you know nothing.” - Socrates

Under all sorts of subliminally negated circumstances, only by being hollowed out and has a pure intention to know, we could then be inspired on the actualities of the natural phenomena to become disillusioned of our preconceptions.

This is no mean feat, and our ego need to be tamed and properly dealt with. This is especially so when we are trying to really let go any deep-seated belief in its disbelief while overcoming our ego, and consequently we could undergo extreme traumatic mental experiences, such as become unreasonably denial, psychologically stressed, emotionally depressed, or devastatingly anguished; in cognitive dissonance it can be very agonizing to face a total collapse of our hard-core belief.

See an externally linked topic on "How to Break out of Your Social Comfort Zone" that elaborates on some tips for breaking out of comfort zone.

“Once we accept our limits, we go beyond them.” - Albert Einstein

To resolve an enigmatic natural phenomenon in the conceptual frameworks of UVS, its observation has to be brought to its transcendental perception with its underlying structure and mechanism perceived with the UVS model, so as to be able to conceptually visualize it, vividly imagine it, and interact with it in its thought experiment to comprehend it intuitively.

In the contemplating process, have integrity and be absolutely honest with ourselves on any finding. And without a slightest attachment to our thoughts on the finding, have perseverance and stay focused. Put our preconceived ideas aside so as to free our imagination, surrender our rigid mind to our intuition, do not expect anything but be opened to everything including contradictions. And be malleable, then let the imagination run, let it organise, and let it show.

“Imagination is more important than knowledge.” - Albert Einstein

Recapitulating with the example for the perception of sunrise, it could be conceptualized to elucidate its delusion by its transcendental visualization on how a rotating spheroidal Earth, is rendering the relative motion illusion of a rising Sun in its delusory localized perception. With this transcendental perception, and therefore knows how it subliminally negates, which is as a result of the Earth's rotating motion that paradoxically appears to be motionless for the earthbound observers. The delusion of its apparent observation is thus elucidated, and this intuitively reveals its actuality with its cognitive paradox resolved.

The key to the revelation of an enigmatic natural phenomenon, is to find ways to intuitively perceive with its inductive resolution to understand the working mechanism for its postulated underlying structure based on the UVS model, so as to elucidate its delusion in the conceptual frameworks of UVS for resolving its cognitive paradox to reveal its actuality.

With the visualizations on the underlying structures and mechanisms of natural phenomena, these intuitively induce the resolutions for the revelations on their actualities.

See the UVS topics on "The cognitive paradox fallacy in Copernican heliocentrism" that elaborates on how a crucial cognitive paradox of the Solar System was resolved, "Do an interactive experiment to understand gyroscopic precession", "The axial precession of the Earth", "Ozone hole", "Jet streams", and "Tropical cyclone" that elaborate with the UVS inductive resolutions for resolving the cognitive paradoxes of some enigmatic natural phenomena with their postulated underlying structures and mechanisms.

Based on the UVS model, when the perception of an enigmatic natural phenomenon is coherently organized in the conceptual frameworks of UVS, with pristine clarity in its transcendental visualization, we could be unexpectedly enlightened by an intuition that elucidates its delusion and thus reveals its actuality, which would resolve its cognitive paradox for solving the misconception, mystery, or anomaly of its apparent observation.

With this coherently grounded transcendental perspectivalism, the resolving capability is simply profound with its revelations on enigmatic natural phenomena.

By knowing the paradoxical effect of nature that negates in a typical topsy-turvy manner, and with the conceived hypothetical constructs that are coherently based on the UVS model, in the conceptual frameworks of UVS, the UVS methodology thus enlightens on enigmatic natural phenomena.

With the arrival of Al Nino effect affecting climate in a perfectly prepared situation, and with a cue that could be initiated by a lightning strike, the forest was burned in huge towering flames that were never witnessed before in wildfire history. This wildfire could not be effectively suppressed, had raged for weeks relentlessly and in its grand-scale everything the community had guarded for decades were all helplessly up in smokes. For a very long period of time, the firefighters thought they knew every aspect of fire, they didn't. In all those years they thought they have the situations under control, that was also an illusion.

For this case, it took the awe of nature for us to wake up from this cognitive paradox of our delusion, and realize the real culprit for this burn of the century; our ignorance.

“Nature is relentless and unchangeable, and it is indifferent as to whether
its hidden reasons and actions are understandable to man or not.” - Galileo Galilei

A sixth sense myth

It was speculated that since ancient time, just before a natural disaster would occur, some animals and insects seem to know it in advance to dash out at about a same time from their hideouts to run for their safety. More recently, it was well documented that just before the Boxing day Tsunami striked, many elephants at different locations in Sri Lanka and Thailand had acted in a strange but synchronized manner and went uphill, their acts had also saved the life of many other people and their gratified keepers. In contemplating the reasons for this phenomenon, many people believed that the elephants have "sixth sense", as in some kind of out of the world supernatural ability with a mystical type of connection among the elephants that is physically inexplicable.

See a news report on "Tsunami Animals: A Sixth Sense?".

Nonetheless, before an earthquake or when a Tsunami has initiated, it is known that the Earth or sea would rumble with low frequencies, and electromagnetic waves emission occurs. It is now known that these infrasound vibrations though are inaudible to the human ears, can be thunderous roars of nature to seismically disturb these creatures on different continents. And the influence of electromagnetic waves emission during the geological event could also had prompted those animals with such sensories to flee; any of these evolved sensory mechanisms could have caused a synchronized reaction for these creatures on different continents to run for their life.

See the UVS topic on "Natural events on Earth with aligned and cross-aligned Solar System objects" that illustrates an externally triggered causality for natural events.

The manner without a solid basis with clear definitions, one can mask his ignorance by cranking up a not falsifiable proposition for any mysterious phenomenon that is apparently inexplicable. In its illusion of knowing, it has the comfort of being at ease, and this can also boost confidence with a sense of superiority in its illusion of having control. This is how one can create an illusion of knowing with an inclination towards a belief that has a higher order type of abstract explanation that reinforces with circular reasoning, and could always assert the mythical belief in the fallacy of affirming the consequent.

There are lots of busted myths for old and new ones alike, however, human psychology tends to hold firmly onto believing in myths.

It is difficult to get a man to understand a simple truth when his pride, faith, or belief depends upon his not understanding it.

“You can't convince a believer of anything; for their belief
is not based on evidence, it's based on a deep seated need to believe.” - Carl Sagan

“By denying scientific principles, one may maintain any paradox.” - Galileo Galilei

“One can persistently fool himself in a delusion that can paradoxically but consistently asserts
his fallacious belief, and therefore becomes biased for believing what is not true.” - UVS inspired -

 

.A millenniums-old circular logic - "Which came first, the chicken or the egg?"

Which came first, the chicken or the egg? This circular logic has been explored from all angles with all definitions by all cultures in all ways of looking at it through all great minds with over at least twenty-five centuries of debates, the paradox was generally thought as could never be solved at all.

Chickens hatch from eggs, but eggs are laid by chickens, making it difficult to say which originally gave rise to the other. To ancient philosophers, the question about the first chicken or egg also evoked the questions of how life and the universe in general began. - Excerpt from Wikipedia on "The chicken or the egg".

Based on the concept of evolution in modern knowledge, through inductive reasoning that macroevolution happens and new animal species can evolve, whatever laid the egg that had hatched into a first distinct chicken, by definition that whatever was not a chicken. The answer to this question according to its specifications, egg definitely had come first before the first chicken could be evolved. Specifically, this egg with an embryo of a chicken that had hatched into a first chicken, was not an egg of chicken. This is the distinction between an egg of a non-chicken, and an egg of a chicken; chicken egg is laid by chicken.

See externally linked topics on "Evolution", and "Darwin's Finches" that elaborates on the sympatric speciation in some passerine birds, and a video presentation on "David Attenborough on Darwin".

The problems of the chicken and egg issue were caused by its fallacy of definition, which renders its paradox that can invalidate any hypothesis with its circular reasonings. Thus, by denying the antecedent or affirming the consequent, its a posteriori reasoning with circular logic can always be applied to invalidate any hypothesis to illustrate that the paradox could never be solved.

It is illogical to expect a definite answer to be consistence when the questions are put forth in a paradox with ambiguous definitions on the chicken and egg issue; it could never have a definite answer to the non-consistent question. It is illogical to think that by cracking this chicken and egg sequence it should also be able to find the answer for “how life and the universe in general began”, and hence has expected the answer to be something that is more sophisticated and complex. Attached to this notion, simple straight answer that does not fit the bracket would not even be considered as authentic with such fixed mindset.

Even by changing the definitions in any way for this issue, it would still have a precedent and therefore would still have a definite answer to it; an egg laid by a chicken is a chicken egg and this is regardless to whatever it hatches into. Therefore if the question goes “Which came first, the chicken or the chicken egg?”, then the definite answer is chicken had to come first; this is a logically valid answer to the specifically defined question from the evolutionism point of view.

It is true that “At no point was a ‘chicken egg’ created from a distinct ‘non-chicken’ species”, but this argument that was used to maintain the paradox is non sequitur. A “non-chicken” of course could not have laid a “chicken egg”, moreover, the conclusion was unrelated and could not conclude egg did not come first. It merely confuses the issue by contradicting it with a valid proposition that does not address the issue at all; this is a red herring fallacy of ignoratio elenchi. Note: The argument on “At no point was a ‘chicken egg’ created from a distinct ‘non-chicken’ species.” had been removed from an earlier version of "The chicken or the egg?" article from Wikipedia.

With lame logic and moot reasoning that asserts ambiguity, we can persistently fool ourselves.

“There is no greater impediment to the advancement of knowledge than the ambiguity of words.” - Thomas Reid

Disclaimers: The treatise of Universal Vortical Singularity (UVS) in its epistemological paradigm shift, is fundamentally unconventional. Its hypotheses based on a generally unheard-of UVS model, bound to have shortcomings, loose ends, and errors. Many details and assumptions in its propositions have yet to be further researched, probed, evaluated, validated, or verified. Its implicit explanations are for casual understanding of the UVS topics presented in the UVS worldview, so if any term or statement is offensive in any manner or from whatsoever perspectives, is most regretted. Links to other sites do not imply endorsement of their contents; apply appropriate discretion whenever necessary. For whatsoever reasons, at times the viewing for some of its contents could helplessly experience text corruptions, disorganized content layouts, missing images, failed animations, and some external links simply had ceased to exist.

Viewing tips: Despite the presentations of the UVS web pages has went through much accommodation for their viewings on smart phones, they are not very friendly to smaller low resolution mobile devices. It is therefore recommended to access and view the UVS contents with a system device that at least has a larger high definition screen, such as a larger smart phones, an android tablet, or an iPad. For the best experiences, use a MS Windows based PC or computer system to browse with Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox that is Java enabled for its interactive applets. (Such as Java Applet of Moiré pattern, JPL Small-Body Database Browser, and Planet Finder.)
