Would using math and physics formulas help reduce Chicago Violence?
I have written a series of posts about Chicago Gun Violence.
Politicians, Police, Social Workers, Legislators, Teachers. Clergy, and Judges all seem to know what the underlining problems are, yet they languish on implementing a solution.
“That brings us to the Mathematical Universe Hypothesis, which states that our external physical reality is a mathematical structure.”
In this post, I will use the physics of a tilted plane and rolling ball to relate the various social reality factors that add to the velocity, or faster rate of crime.
A Tilted Surface
As The Physics Classroom explains, a tilted surface is defined as an inclined plane in physics. An object on it naturally rolls downward, with its speed being affected by the degree of tilt. An object on a more tilted surface rolls down it at a faster rate.
Hypostasis
Reducing the height line and adding resistance on the surface of the tilted surface line, a ball will roll slower and stop when the height line is parallel to the base line.
Height Line
Relate each contributing cause for Chicago Violence as a segment of length to the height line.
Poor Education, Drugs, Gangs, Poverty, Unemployment, Unlawful Guns, Single Parent Families
Length Line
Relate the base line as a length of Time.
Ball
Relate a rolling Ball as Chicago Violence on a roll.
Resistance Factor
Relate the Police and Judges as adding resistance factors to the Tilted Surface Line the ball will roll down.
Conclusion Theorem
The ball of Chicago Violence is rolling at a heightened rate of velocity and will continue rolling over time unless each factor of height is reduced or the resistance factor is increased.
King Solomon
Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein: and he that rolleth a stone, it will return upon him (Proverb 26:27)
and he that rolleth a stone, it will return upon him; that rolls a stone up hill, if he does not take care, it will return back, and fall with great force upon himself; so the mischief which a wicked man labours hard at, as men do in digging a pit, or rolling a stone, in time rolls back upon themselves; the measure they mete out to others is measured to them. (Gils Bible Commentary)
You Decide
Is the ball of stone rolling down on us because of the height of the slope.
In My Opinion
By not doing anything to reduce the height of the slope, we are in effect digging ourselves into a deeper hole to climb (mete) out of to slow down the velocity of Criminal Violence in Chicago.
By extending the Time line, we extend the number of people who will become involved and enlarge the area of the problems. In other words, if we allow the Chicago Violence ball to become so big we will never be able to stop it from rolling back over all of Chicago in time.

Interesting analogy. In so as it goes, it is a good one.
The problem with such an analogy is what we make of it. Fashionable these days is the notion we can set the government to work reducing the height line. When we use government that way, we end up forcing our charitable choices on others. Then government officials start depriving people of their rights instead protecting their rights.
Look at any major urban area. Democrat Liberals will be running it, and they will be running it into a pit. Instead of protecting people’s rights, they are too busy trying to run people’s lives. Instead of helping people, they end up abusing them in their quest for power.
How do we reduce that height line? God gives each of us a calling to help others. We each have the responsibility to obey our Lord and go where our calling takes us.

The ball height analogy does indeed apply to government, debt, and just about every problem caused in the world, in my opinion.
Gravity pulls everything, everyone down, both morally and physically. We need an opposite “pole” to balance us like the Bible.
Won’t do much good if we do not pick it up to “position” it in the right angle to read and discern the power to pull us and our problems into a proper balance of our lives.

“We need an opposite “pole” to balance us like the Bible.”
Without proper moral guidance we tend to use our problems and the problems of others as an excuse to abuse those we envy. Hence the command against covetousness.
