New Age 1978.
In 1987 Athena International published the poster entitling it ‘Ocean of Life’
Hag originally made ‘New Age’ as an early rough in the process of creating ‘Tree in Islington‘, (see below) commissioned by Pink Floyd in 1978 as a mural for their Britania Road recording studio in Islington London UK. It is of course from the same photographic shoot as ‘NewAge’.
From Hags book ‘How Things Are’
‘Current scientific thinking to determine the mass and structure of the universe has had to invent dark matter to make the sums work. The discrepancy was first noticed in 1933, but nobody took much notice until the 1970s when it was realised that we needed this hidden mass to explain many of our observations. It is supposedly 90% to 99% of the mass of the universe! We do not have the necessary perception to detect it, (or we just have not found it), but we do have the imagination to invent it, so our scientific reality remains intact. This is matter that does not obey any of the known scientific forces. It does not reflect light or any other form of electromagnetic radiation, we don’t know where it is but we need it to be there.
Many major scientific ideas, no matter how bizarre they appeared at the time, have been proved correct. When Einstein realised that there was a huge amount of energy contained within mass, this answered an ancient puzzle as to how the Sun could shine for so many years without burning out and led to a truer understanding of the age of the solar system. The expression of that energy – the Sun – was always there, sitting in the sky, illuminating us, and creating us – we are just stardust. Dark matter, if it is found to exist, will it be obvious. It’s staring us in the face right now.’ (2006)
Below a more recent consideration of this Dark Matter question…
Law of conservation of (e)nergy…..States
“Energy cannot be created or destroyed,
it can only be changed from one form to another.”
(so many unhelpful thoughts then occur)
This is an indisputable truth of physics (we all accept)?
Thus this is the dimension within which we live.
We don’t live in 3D 4D etc we live in eD
(all Eds rejoice)
All the dimensions we describe are inadequate.
They are only the ones we are aware of.
If energy can neither be created nor destroyed,
it must reflect the limits of our perceptions,
it can only be the limits of our knowledge,
it is the limit of our selves.
Dark energy, dark matter or whatever it is called now cannot be detected as energy itself has not been defined except as a constant and its various expressions.
