Why Bother? What's The Big Deal?
Greetings,
Often times, people will PM me and ask a question similar to: "Why do you take on the persona that you do, and why do you post of the topics that you do (science & spirituality) when it just leaves you open for so much ridicule?" I once journaled on this question, and ended up with a list of reasons that is quite long. To conserve SpaceTime here on the forum, I decided that I would just share two important reasons (my VIEWS, not necessarily my SCIENCE that can be demonstrated as valid). Here they are:
(1) BOTH Science AND Spirituality are rapidly approaching their next evolutionary cusps, as a result of the coming close of the Information Age.
In other posts, I describe the scientific underpinnings which explain the fractal, embedded relationships between Force, Energy, and Information. My own discovery of these relationships, along with my review of history in general, and the history of science in specific, has lead me to the conclusion I have cited in (1) above.
Einstein's STR and GTR, and their expression in the atomic bomb, represent theories that essentially brought to a close the Age of Energy and initiated the Age of Information. The advent of giants such as Shannon and Turing clearly brought forth theories of Information that demarcate the 1940s as the start of the Age of Information. (Interesting coincidence: My father worked for Shannon, and once met Turing, while working at Bell Labs in the 1940s).
Just as Einstein's summary of Energy helped cap-off the Age of Energy, it is my belief that we are facing a similar scientific, evolutionary summary that will help to further explain just what exactly the metric we call "Information" really represents. It is my belief that this summary is occurring, in parallel, all around us. I do NOT have any grandiose thoughts that I am equivalent to the next Einstein, only that I am playing a small part in helping this evolutionary summary of Information to be revealed. However, I DO believe that this evolutionary summary of Information will have a similar impact, in terms of magnitude, that Einstein's work had on our world.
Certainly I agree with the undeniable facts that "religion" is in trouble in our world. But any single "religion" is nothing more than a man-made (non-natural) construct. Furthermore, there are many people who believe (understand) that Spirituality is different from "religion" in that it is a result of a natural tendency of humankind to wonder "might there be something beyond what we perceive as physical?" Now, just as "religion" is at a critical juncture, so this is also true of the "religion-like" institutions of Science. Please read that correctly, as I am making an important analogy: Just as there are required dogma in "religions" (and plenty of people who are all too ready to enforce that dogma), so there are certainly elements within the scientific community who have assigned their own dogma and are determined to enforce it. For example, there are zealots who believe that we can never "prove Einstein wrong" about anything, much less expand on his knowledge. Also, do not misinterpret what I am saying. I am not claiming that "all science" has become this, and not even "most science" has become this. I only point out that there are pockets showing up in science that seek to stoke their own vested interests in certain "answers" about what is true.
My actions are meant to, literally, "stir the pot" that contains both misbehaving spiritualists (who create dogmatic religions) and misbehaving scientists (who create dogmatic scientific theories). And I do this by willingly, and openly demonstrating how "real science" can and does apply to "real spirituality". This process will eventually result in "disproving" some things that both Science and Spirituality hold dear. For that I do not feel sorry. It is something that simply must come to pass, sooner or later.
Integration of disparate dualities is a fundamental force in Nature (just look at what Nature makes possible with the terminals of a battery). This can be shown in many examples. I am simply applying this natural tendency to the disparate dualities called Science and Spirituality. And let me tell you, it can be fun
as well as frustrating.
(2) There is vast, as-yet untapped, human scientific potential available via the internet which can only be tapped by the application of a highly non-linear integration of these resources.
Just as I will agree there are many lame-ass, unscientific people out there pushing the mystical/spiritual mumbo jumbo, and that they quite often can show NO science to substantiate their claims, I think you would also have to admit that there are also quite a few lame-ass debunkers who debunk only as a means to stroke their ego. Not only this, but many of these debunkers will hide behind what they think is their "good science" but which I can often show is simply "incomplete science" or possibly "misapplied science." In general, not ALL debunkers are effective, nor really interested in getting at the truth. Rather, they just debunk to debunk... it gives them an intellectual high.
Such people need to be confronted before their intelligence and brilliance (much of which could be lying dormant) can be tapped via internet cooperative efforts. The only way they can be confronted is with "above board", "in your face", and "unhidden" claims as to what the evolutionary cusp we are approaching means to what is formerly considered "mystical knowledge". Furthermore, the only way in which such confrontations may be able to get these highly intelligent people to examine and reconsider their beliefs (which are certainly formed by past experiences with BS New Agers who could not argue scientifically) is by providing them with REAL SCIENCE that they can sink their teeth into. Not only that, but presenting such REAL SCIENCE that cannot be debunked without taking on the task of debunking something that is already clearly part of our accepted, and verified body of Science.
As I mentioned, these are only two of many reasons why I do what I do, both here and elsewhere. There's cool stuff coming down the pike with respect to both Science and Spirituality. I'm just one messenger who happens to have a good background in science and engineering. However, I hope you and others might be interested in the science that I believe I have been able to quantify that describes the interrelationship between Force, Energy, and Information as physical metrics. There are certainly lots of different applications for this if my science and math are vetted. And with the tapping of the huge human scientific potential I discussed above, it can literally mean a radically changed world... in as little as 7 years Time!
