Chapter 2: Strong Nuclear Force
From Wikipedia, "The strong interaction is observable in two areas: on the larger scale, it is the force that binds protons and neutrons together to form the nucleus of an atom; on the smaller scale, it is also the force (carried by gluons) that holds quarks together to form the proton, the neutron and other particles."
Money! money holds together the quarks and hadrons. An acceptable monetary unit also implies a form of government(issuing the money) that's in common and all the laws governing said trading partners. Money holds it all together, it may not be what created the quarks and hadrons, but it is what glues together the trading partners into discrete atoms. It's interesting to note that the nuclear force, money, isn't strong enough to hold the atom together damn well when the nuclei number is about 82 or more, atomicly speaking. Can we see this in the real world? Have empires grown too big to stay together for whatever reason... money wasn't strong enough to hold it together in: the Roman Empire, the Byzantine Empire, the English Empire. All these fell apart and the gluons, the Stretch and Benjamins, weren't strong enough to hold the center, though the empires had immense control and wealth, when they fell down they couldn't put humpty back together again. What can we conclude from all this, maybe, simplicity is better when it comes to government and trading bases. It also implies many other things... such as a simple life is to be desired for each man is a nation state, a government unto his own life, as both a president and national congress and proletariat. Some are just prone to riot.
This also implies the importance to buy locally and think globally to keep the money in the community, more to the point. If one's city, or gluon trading base, is to hold together during the apocalypse or a sharp collision with another proton or neutron, a strong collective is important to have with a small trading base to meet all of its needs. A source of energy, a source of food, a source of education, and the things that go into a community to help it run. It won't just be a matter of defending yourself and being able to cook... one is going to need dreams so one has hope. One is going to need life so one has faith. One is going to need compassion so one has love. And one will probably need money, so one may serve the community.
In conclusion this does indeed indicate that money helps hold the universe together as much as we revile the corruption that comes with it in excess.
