![]() The term “creativity” is, in process philosophy, the universal of universals by which the many, which are the universe disjunctively, become the one actual occasion, which is the universe conjunctively. The term “one” represents the universe in its effective entirety, as an integrated whole, which could also be extended to the notion of collection of universes under the multiverse hypothesis ( Carr & Ellis, 2008). ![]() The term “many” conveys the notion of “disjunctive diversity,” representing the multitude of entities in the universe at any time instant, including all visible/dark particles and quanta of energy. In fact, in process philosophy there are only three ultimate notions ( Whitehead, 1929, pp. In particular, I want to mention here the philosophical approach to cosmology identified as process philosophy, introduced by Whitehead (1929), especially for its simplicity and elegance of explanation. Nonetheless, the human species is able to elaborate explanatory theories corroborated by experimental observations, that allow us for example to build models of the cosmic evolution after the Big-Bang that are coherent with measurements we can make today ( Chaisson, 2009), although the field of theoretical physics cannot find a universally agreed interpretation: several alternative theories will remain possible ( Peebles & Nusser, 2010), due to the intrinsic limitations in the extent of our observations. This is not only due to our limited (albeit constantly improving) observation capabilities ( Perlmutter, 2003), but more fundamentally to the fact that according to extant models of universe composition only 4% is made of visible matter, the rest being 20% of dark matter and 76% of dark energy ( Frieman et al., 2008). ![]() The human species has access to a negligibly small portion of the universe, the visible part hence, we know very little of the associated possibilities that existed, exist today and could develop in the future of our expanding cosmos ( Frieman et al., 2008).
