The Cat's Eye Nebula

Explanation: Three thousand light-years away, a dying star throws off shells of glowing gas. This image from the Hubble Space Telescope reveals the Cat's Eye Nebula to be one of the most complex planetary nebulae known. In fact, the features seen in the Cat's Eye are so complex that astronomers suspect the bright central object may actually be a binary star system. The term planetary nebula, used to describe this general class of objects, is misleading. Although these objects may appear round and planet-like in small telescopes, high resolution images reveal them to be stars surrounded by cocoons of gas blown off in the late stages of stellar evolution.

Chapter Two

         This is the battle so far. The moves have been made in a place between Olympus and Elysium. In the real world of astronomic studies this would be three to four on the end of a point universes away from the one you are living in. In other words, a quantum leap isn’t going to get you there from where you are. This is how it was and is at the inner dimensional moment in the story.

         The winner of the first rebellion is declared on the seventy-third move at the conclusion of book five. This book (four) ends with the interpretation of the forty-first and forty-second moves. The conclusion of the first rebellion does not begin to affect the Living until the later Classical Age of Greece with persons such as Socrates, Plato and Aristotle and many others made famous.

This story is an interpretation of the three moves made in each chapter. Some characteristics of quantum mechanics lead the story. Here are six quantum characteristics shown within the setting and plot of the story:

         1, random chance exists and it slips in occasionally;

         2, it is impossible for the characters to predict an outcome of the rebellion even though one exists;

         3, no link exists between cause and effect except the human mind;

         4, no phenomenon exists until it is observed;

         5, particles/waves exist in the thought/concept of which Elysium is composed;

         6, the reader changes what is observed by reading the book; and number seven relates to Chaos Theory rather than quantum mechanics; and

         7, the chess game is on a higher level of human thought and behavior and it is attributed to knowledge and expectations, thus probability or outcome of the rebellion shows that what appears to be random chance in Quantum Theory is not necessarily random in Chaos Theory.

         Elysium works on what is presently known in science. The connection between the Dead and the Living goes both ways in mind perception. The Living help the Dead by learning and increasing the bounds of human experience.             

         Everyone contributes through self-education, what one learns in and from life is taken with the Dead. The human mind serves as a taxi service, if you will. The Dead, of course, are out of time, therefore have plenty for development of theory, which they inversely pass on to the Living. The River Styx is the conduit, for whatever the river is in actuality, it is a Form that carries a current of concepts.

         The reader is as an angelic observer of a portion of the Book of Life and Death. Imagine that if you will, your mind as angelic-like, but in form only. Let’s see how that goes in this chapter.

         Salamon sat in his head thinking. Zeus and Hades are conspiring. Why is it Hades is not on the throne in Olympus? He is he older brother. He rehashed the theology. Zeus saved his brothers and sisters, the brothers Poseidon, Hades and Zeus share the power. Hades has the invisible helmet and he could visit Olympus if he wished but he enjoys his own Underworld so he doesn’t go out much. He is not as ambitious as either Zeus or Poseidon. These gods need humans as much as humans need them. I can’t imagine that any of them would take kindly to our rebellion.  

         Zeus rebelled against his parents to save his siblings, and Apollo and Artemis could rebel against Zeus and help us. That’s our backup defense. If we can know the children side with us rather than with the Parents, Aunts and Uncles who control Olympus. It is the young who unite in rebellion among the Living. Perhaps we can persuade them to join our cause. Apollo has already protected one of our own in this. I need to talk this over with Marios. He is the closest to Sophia in council.
