The Dicey Problem Of New Age Science - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Order flows from consistent laws. Our understanding of our universe is changing, but Reality behind it is unchanged. Einstein's relativity amended Newtonian determinism, and was in turn amended by quantum mechanics. Einstein saw a harmonious advance in knowledge, and said, "God does not play dice"; but Stephen Hawking saw a radical departure, and said, "God is a gambler". The author a deep student of philosophy and with a moderate background of science, sees in these conflicting conclusions the inevitable distortion when "the relative" is projected on to "the Absolute." Therefore he says, "Do no worry about God. He is not a visiting player like you and me, but the absolute owner of the casino. When He plays, His left hand picks up what His right hand loses. His status remains unaltered. We had better to be looking out for ourselves." The serious point is made that the Absolute includes and exceeds the time-space-causation frame of relativity, and these parameters cannot cross the border. These limitations must be clearly understood. "Time" of physics is enough to study kinetic processes but not to locate the creative potential. That requires "time" of our conscious awareness. But bio-science mistakes consciousness to be a product OF brain-cells. In truth, consciousness is the energy, and brain is the equipment through which it manifests. This time is the Achilles' heel of physics, and MIND is the Achilles' heel of biology. The name of Reality if Total Consciousness. It is eternal. Death was never born, and life never died.
