Laws of nature

For ages, people have been talking about it. It is the ultimate solution to human problems. It holds the secret of success. It is the recipe for peace, harmony and progress. That magic word is change.

Unfortunately change is no magic wand. Nothing much has changed considering the world is basically trapped in the same old inefficiencies, and malpractices, of the past, culminating in wars, conflicts, revolutions, political unrests and financial meltdowns like Asian Financial, US Subprime and Eurozone crises etc. Despite such painful lessons, people seem content to engage in rhetorics about leadership, meritocracy, planning, organizing, creativity, productivity schemes, capital budgeting which have not worked to protect their own vested interests or seek refuge in some comfort zone.

The good news is whether you are a student, housewife, worker, boss, chief executive or government minister, there are ample scientific evidences pointing to the presence of a force or Tao within us to help us achieve our goals and dreams. To begin, you may choose to be positive. By being positive, you will soon be connecting your mind to a force within our being, doing the necessary and possible, the principal secret of success.

The author intends to share with readers a robust relational database execution platform (RDBM) known as Objective-Steps Processing (OSP) that connects the mind to an invisible force or Tao to help us change. It was conceived out of practical necessity while he was working as manager in diverse environments encompassing property/ facility management, foundation piling, construction of oil refinery, dredging, harbour work, transmigration projects, LNG loading docks and operation/maintenance of sea-going vessels and floating cranes or salvage works during the period 1970s-2000s. It has helped him to simplify and standardise tasks and work productively as detailed in the productivity handbook: "Change you can".

Being a condensed version, of the afore-mentioned productivity handbook, this book will focus on the essentials and application aspect of OSP. Because of its robustness, OSP is easily acquired with practice of an entertaining OSP Business Strategy (OBS) Card Game, (on normal 52 playing cards) as explained in Table B in Appendix I. More importantly, it enables people to think and act in oneness with a force or Tao within our being in simple steps namely: (a) laying bare workflow processes to expose hidden relationships (b) motivating the workforce to attain easy-to-recall targets set in mind and matter relationships.

Speaking of laws of nature, it was believed at one time that matter is made of earth, metal, water, fire, air and aether. However by following an atomism approach a process of continuously breaking down the unknown into smaller elements as suggested by Democritus, scientists have finally albeit after some two thousand years of conceptualization, achieved one of the biggest breakthroughs in science - discovery by Robert Boyle that compounds of gas like carbon dioxide can be broken down to their chemically indivisible building-block elements called atoms (read the book "Atom" by Isaac Asimov).

Additionally, the atomism approach, has enabled scientists to unlock secrets of the universe including the following :-

1. Cause-effect law of nature,

2. Conservation of energy,

3. Pair production,

4. Attraction of the opposites,

5. Dark energy permeating the universe.

6. Interactions between force and field to form matter.

7. Einstein's energy-mass equation: E=MC2

8. Contents of universe – matter, dark matter and dark energy.

9. Pauli exclusion principle,

10. Quantum mechanics.

From the afore-stated laws of nature, and other scientific evidences to be elaborated below, we can surmise that the universe is made of energy alternating in binary elemental (+1) and (-1) pulses to form mirror-image matters and anti-matters; clearly the universe is ruled by a mind and matter continuum. Scientists believe that the universe was born in a big explosion from a singularity. No explanation has been given for the Big Bang Theory. However, according to Einstein, the primordial void of space contains a negative pressure. By the laws of physics, such negative pressure indicates presence of a potential energy source. In fact, under the Standard Model of particle physics, it is well established that energy exists as forces and fields interacting in binary (+1) and (-1) elemental states to form matters and anti-matters [(+1)(-1) and (-1)(+1)]. Our heart beats in "on" (-1) or "off" (+1) elemental energy states under the control of an all-pervasive power source in the form of an electrical system called the cardiac conduction system as follows:

1. S-A node (sinoatrial node) — known as the heart's natural pacemaker, the S-A node has special cells that create the electricity that makes your heart beat.

2. A-V node (atrioventricular node) — the A-V node is the bridge between the atria and ventricles. Electrical signals pass from the atria down to the ventricles through the A-V node.

3. His-Purkinje system — the His-Purkinje system carries the electrical signals throughout the ventricles to make them contract. The parts of the His-Purkinje system include:

• His Bundle (the start of the system)

• Right bundle branch

• Left bundle branch

• Purkinje fibers (the end of the system)

Furthermore, by the Anderson Cloud Chamber Experiment, a beam of light (photon) from space was found to split into mirror-image pair of negatively charged electron and positively charged positron upon impact with a 6 mm lead sheet in cloud chamber. Clearly such a beam of light is energy (photon) that originated in the primordial void prior to the Big Bang. By the law of electromagnetism, energy interacts as forces and fields deflecting electrons in a direction perpendicular to its motion. During lightning, such forces and fields are routinely converted to existential states of electrons (-1) and positrons (+1). Hence, there exist ample scientific evidences, showing that the universe is ruled by an energy source residing in the primordial void of space alternating in smaller binary energy states of (+1) and (-1) keeping the universe in a state of constant change and us living and alive.

Given the above-elaborated concrete scientific evidences, it is not farfetched or speculative for Max Planck to observe that matter originates and exists by virtue of a force. We must assume the existence of a conscious and intelligent mind. This mind is the matrix of all matter. It is here that physics and metaphysics begin to overlap. - actually demanding a re-integration of science, philosophy and spirituality in order to fully understand how both our world and we work. Planck explained that "the universal energy or quantum web as illustrated in countless experiments responds or reacts to human thoughts, expectations, beliefs and even emotion. Afterall, thoughts, expectations, beliefs and emotions are really nothing more than another form or expression of the same thing : quantum energy. In other words, our thoughts are essentially connected to everything and everyone that exists in our environment." (Read "The Synthesis Effect" by John Mcgrail).
