or is the answer in the solution. The answer may seem obvious to many however, in science, one must be careful to look both ways. If one defines science only as a predictor of what we observe then the solution is in the answer however, if one defines its purpose as understanding why we observe … Read more
Today’s scientists can make extremely accurate quantitative predictions of most experimental observations based on two theories. The first or Quantum Mechanics makes extremely accurate predictions regarding the microscopic quantum mechanical properties of energy/mass while the second, the “General Theory of Relativity” makes extremely accurate predictions regarding the macroscopic properties of a gravitational field. However, these … Read more
In an earlier article “The role of Imagination“ Aug. 27, 2007 it was shown why a theoretical model of the universe should be based on a combination of observations, experiences and imagination. The reason why can be understood by examining how an architect designs a building. For example, when an architect imagines a new building … Read more
The power of imagination to unlock the secrets of our universe is immense however; we should look to our experiences for guidance when using it to define nature. The reason why can be understood by examining how an architect designs a building. When an architect imagines a new building he uses his experiences with the … Read more
The earlier article the Universe Aug. 20, 2007 showed why we feel humankind needs to begin searching for a new paradigm based on the experience or observations we can make in three-dimensional space instead of using abstract mathematics. Mathematics is an important tool for science to quantify our experience however, it should not replace them. The … Read more
