Angel of Incidence

Gravity is an acceleration, 
we are continually falling
it's just that the earth gets in the way
and the Pauli Exclusion principle (among other things)
guarantees that the electrons which make up our outer shell
don't fall through the electrons which make up the surfaces
as it were
which keep us from falling 
towards the center of the earths mass
at which point 
we will have achieved 
the lowest possible energy state
in the local gravity well.
Strong Equivalency Principle

Since photons have mass
while in motion
Photons can also
fall
light can fall
into darkness

Are angels corporeal
or incorporeal?
If incorporeal
then an infinite number can dance
on the head of a pin
and they be not subject
to tawdry effects
like gravity.
if incorporeal
how could an angel
fall?

if you could grab spacetime
in your hands 
and squeeze it
bend it
curve it
you would create a gravity well
without needing mass
to do the job for you
though you will have to expend energy
(lots of it)
to do this
which is the same thing.

most of the universe 
seems to consist of dark energy
which has negative pressure
though it is possible that
what appears to be dark energy
is merely a failure of explanation
in the mental constructs
of science

Euthryphro 
and the failure of the idea 
of an objective morality.
Is it good because it is good?
(Tautology, which nature seems not to mind,
though logicians do. Mind, that is.)
therefore god is subservient
to an external ideal,
(which, pre-existing god, 
makes god unnecessary as a lawgiver, 
as the good can be discovered 
without reference to god)
or is it good because god says it is,
in which case there is no objective 
morality, merely gods whim, 
and there is, in fact, no good, 
nor bad, for that matter.
Whatever the deity wills is good.
yhwh being fond of rape and murder
(this being clearly shown in the text)
rape and murder is good.
This is divine command,
unquestioning obedience 
is the highest virtue.

Could someone take the stuff of thought
in their hands
and bend it 
squeeze it
compress it
to shape a morality
to any form one desired?

Gravity is an acceleration
perhaps evil is an acceleration
a drive
a force as real as gravity
but the question becomes 
is evil an acceleration 
away from the good
and is there a moral
Pauli Exclusion Principle
that prevents certain souls
from falling through the gaps 
between, 
or is the good 
an acceleration
away from the evil

Which is the lowest energy state
good
or
evil

Lord let us vector,
and see if the angel of incidence
equals
the angel of reflection.
