Paolo Soleri's Glossary of Terms

Big Bang (B.B.)

The Big Bang seems one of the quasi-secure moorings science is counting on to develop diverse models of reality.

The inconceivable nature, structure , rules, etc. that one conjures by way of metaphors and/or by way of almost as inconceivable mathematical-astronomical wizardry point at mystery number one: "il Mistero Tremendo" from where reality explosively leaps out.

The birth of mass-energy and spacetime, the offspring of the Mistero Tremendo tells us that the notion of "before B.B." is a non-sensical notion. Beingness begins at the Big Bang moment, in that very first moment where-when beingness turns into becoming. The whole of reality is that becoming (see Self-Sufficiency) "mothered" in the Big Bang.
