The Big Turbulence: A Dream Cosmology Conceived in the Wombs of Abyssinian Poems

The Big Turbulence: 
A Dream Cosmology 
Conceived in the Wombs of Abyssinian Poems
By Sinkneh Eshetu (O’Tam Pulto), January 2004, Addis Ababa
Cover Design: Mulugeta G/Kidan


The Big Turbulence is a rudimentary conception of cosmic creation, evolution and procreation, inspired by the poems in Arba Tebitawoch. It could be said that it is a poetic venture and adventure in cosmology to come up with an alternative model of man & the universe inspired by African worldview and modern science. It proposes a poetic (not scientific) model of cosmic creation and procreation, which, unlike the Big Bang, is a result of self-organizing relationships (of interconnected wave-particles) in all spaces and dimensions (and not a Bang from a point in space or non space).

This work, similar to the womb that begot it, Arba Tebitawoch, is influencing the author’s continuing works. Some chapters in “Ye’Sisay Lijoch/Kekirosina Kentiros” such as the dialogue of the invisible hermits of the Sof Umar Cave (PP. 157 – 160 and P. 170 – 173); and a passage in the book, “A Thousand Versions of Love/Shi Ye’Fikir Diqalawoch” entitled “A Newfound Cosmic Mystery Hidden in the Letters of Ge’ez” attempt to either refine, or show different implications of, the poetic cosmic model proposed. 

Here is the Content of the Book:

The Beginning
The Great Birth
Mind-Matter Continuum
The Hidden Books
The Evolution of Physical Laws
Faster than Light
The Death of Time
The Still-Born Chaos

A Cracking Night
