ftrr It, 7V Lo**U. itor* 7, /Mo PROFILES^ Visions of the univfer: Math and Science Departments comment on the universe By Deborah Hull God, politic!, and tie "Fir Side." Ask any three Lowell science and nssh teachen about their views and visions o'tbe universe and prepare for expert opinions on everything from evolution ind Jerry Falwcll (Edgar Lehman, biology), to nuclear war (David Roditti, math), to the California Academy of Sciences' exhibit of Gary Larson's cartoons (James Carnack, biology). These, among many other subjects and surmises composed the responses of various Lowell science and truth teachers in a reran interview asking for their personal vir»» and vision* of the universe. Answers from the teachers ranged from the serious and theorctieU to the ridiculous and burlesque. Biology teacher Mark Mcoheim initially assured the reporter, "We're all germs inside some giant organism...when the organism lakes antibiotics we'll all ciplodc and die." He then went on to inquire, "Can I nice thai ail back?" Mosheim wu not entirely sure, however. k> to whether or not the universe is shrinking or expanding. "II depends on whether (he orginiini is maturing or dying," he declared. His quandary wms quickly solved by main teacher Lawrence Robinson, on "expending universe guy." "Some thick it's not expanding; I say it is," he confided. Of course, when discussing something u mysterious as the unWerse, cue expects a variety of opinions, many of which are bound to be contiadiciory. Biology teacher James Kneri believes, "The universe is tern* on. Umryoae focsbt with water pras, the world ld b porary and is changing all the time," "vhercas Marian Gorualcs, physiology maintains. "All that u has always been, and always wiU be." (Take heed, all physiology icholars, for Gonzalez continued, "Ifthc> can understand that, they can pus my class.") There was no disagreement on the subject of tne universe's VSM. uncharted, and prodigious size, and man's insignificance in relationship to it. "It's an awfully big place." stated AP/Biology teicher William Stevens. Chemistry teacher Patricia Cancpa declared, "Mnn is so insignificant, yet he thinks he's so bloody important." She also believes. "The basts of the universe is matter, and if we understand how mattr behaves, we can envision the universe as one great big quantity of letter interacting." While most teachers were vevy obliging in answer* ing the question, others had i,** specific opinions whatsoever. "I don't think you want to talk to me; I just look out the window and think it's pretty, that's the limit of it," confessed Carl KocnJg, computer programming teacher. Dcfore closing, one must raise the question of the actual existence and validity of the universe. Physics teacher Ronald Wcnj joked. "It's all an illusion — it doesn't exist — it's a plaything of the mind." When all was said and done everybody agreed that thr universe is a very great and awesome pUcc. Finally, for more information contact Mr. Mosheim. He will surely refer you to the nearest French existentialist. The world as an existentialist would see it By Era Fcsta "Beliew in yourself!" the teachers of our lodcty tdl us, from ihc bc»innins of our educations onwaid. "Believe in God. bdievc in the American wiy. believe b vour pet joWfuh. believe in wmdhlnt!" Bet what tbout uv«e who don't believe to anything? . The term for this particular viiion of the univene. "exKtcntiaUsrn", wit invented is 1933 by Jean-Paul 5a.trc, a French philosopher. Sartre uid that we (We in a puradoxical universe.

Tims, accordtos tocxitiembllun. we live ta a world that is leaf to our t|uatiotn, need*, and concerns. We free uncxplainablc events every diy, aM there is no omnipotent farce to make tcmc ot luch things. We iijy ferl a unity, • boojl whh nature, but it there a Mother Earth *ho fceli a ibniUr bood with us? An existentialist wotld uy no. In addition, the existentialist questions atouacUons, »uch as love, or hate. "What is a rc&iooship?" he asks. An important concept of thh theory a to not tale anything for (ranted. We rre taught that we are "ttUicd" to our relative*, but If no inner bead exists tcrwecn mother cod son. is Caraut demouintes bi his novel. The Simn/er. does a relaonmhip really cxisr? Once maa rj»'uet thai the answei u> this question is "no", thai all he assumes his meaning nuy nu hare rncanini, thai be is righting u unwionabic fi{hu where the only ccruii ihin-j is his own death, t.a must become enraged with thi* sltuaitbn, ttkff actkn. and rebel agtinu tie UIH Zzlrness of it all. The acuoo be takes is to live as if absnciiocis do exist, tad to live ^ if there is meaning to life. Tnus. he creates the meaning of hi* own life in a world Uut b indifferent to him.
