The concept of Unnaturality
The "concept of Unnaturality" is a concept reflecting the extent to which something can be called natural or unnatural. It states that nothing on this earth (including technological invention) is truly unnatural since it is all composed of naturally occurring resources, yet, it is called the concept of unnaturality: It also reflects the nature of paradox; are there paradoxes in nature?

There are experiments going on with large high energy particle accelerators, for example, the large hadron collidor, that create particles which do not occur on earth in 'natural circumstances'. The vision that is held is that these particles are not human creations but would exist in nature under different circumstances, for example, temperatures colder than outer space, or in a different time (for example during the big bang). These experimental circumstances can be called unnatural. Yet, of course they are part of nature, since everything we create is created from naturally occurring resources. Unnatural here should be read as: non-existing without human beings. By observing these occurrences people by induction draw conclusions that are called universal, and are said to reveal to us the true nature of the universe. While currently these occurrences on earth are only to be found in simulated environments, and thus are our own creations. It is a paradox: these occurrences are both natural and unnatural, depending on the context.
