Spiritual Scientists
science — 1
a the systematic study of man and his environment based on the deduction and inferences which can be made,
and the general laws which can be formulated, from reproductible observations and measurements of events and
parameters within the universe; b the knowledge so obtained. 2 systematized knowledge in
general. 3 a a particular branch of knowledge; b skill, proficiency. Oxford
Dictionary
I do discern two strands of
science:
-
physical science (which properly
contains ‘pure science’ and ‘applied science’)
-
metaphysical science (which
properly contains ‘science fiction’ and ‘mystical science’)
The scientific studies involved
with studying the ‘big’ picture of the universe, the macroscopic – cosmology – as well as the study of
the microscopic – quantum physics – both leave the realm of reproducible observations and measurements
of events and parameters within the universe.
As science studies the cosmos,
the measurements very quickly become so huge as to be inconceivable, non-sensical (beyond what we can perceive
with our senses) and immeasurable – both in distance and time. Similarly, when science studies the
sub-atomic, the measurements very quickly become so minute as to be inconceivable, non-sensical (beyond what
we can perceive with our senses) and immeasurable.
Science has great difficulty with
both infinite and zero – both figures make any mathematical equation instantly and irrevocably unworkable.
Given the lack of any measurable factual data to work with, both the macroscopic and microscopic sciences have
developed into theoretical sciences – a field of study where reproducible observations and measurements
of events and parameters play no part and where theories, speculation, imagination and fantasy abound.
Unfettered by any physical considerations or
restraints these sciences thus become metaphysical sciences and, as such, have conveniently co-opted many
theories from the mystical world. Thus we have the ‘parallel universes theory’ (‘other-worlds’),
creation and doomsday events (God by any other name), particles that only exist when one is looking at them
(an illusionary world), the universal Theory of Everything (the Truth), etc., etc. The cute thing is that
theoretical scientists quote the ancient mystics as validation of their theories, and the modern mystics quote
the theoretical scientists as validation for their fantasies – an infinite regression of insanity.
