"Science" and Ignorance

The illusion that we know as physical reality is a feedback system projecting to our minds what we think we'd look and feel like in a body in a certain belief context ... oh yes, we also project our versions of our best (and worst!) buddies just to make it all look real and beyond our control.  With this as context, it's no surprise that our scientific method is so inept at finding it's own shortcomings.

For example, I find the whole idea of dark energy and dark matter hugely amusing ... it's actually a measure of our ignorance!  It's really bizarre that we claim to know the origin and evolution of the universe when we only physically perceive about 5% of the energy and matter that we think the universe should contain.  Clearly that shows how little we know about the universe.

In a different and perhaps more troubling context, we have no qualms editing DNA when all we perceive is the 3D shadow of a multidimensional, living molecule essential for life as we know it.  I guess our ignorance doesn't get in the way of technological progress!

Have fun today!

“… the deepest truths cannot be physically proven.  Science is used to asking quite specific questions, and as Ruburt wrote recently it usually comes up with very specific answers – even if those questions are wrong.

““Wrong” answers can fit together, however, to present a perfect picture, an excellent construct of its own – and why not?  For any answers that do not fit the construct are simply thrown away and never appear.  So, in a fashion we are dealing with what science has thrown away.  The picture we will end up presenting, then, will certainly not fit that of established science.

“However, if objective proof of that nature is considered the priority for facts, then as you know science cannot prove its version of the [universe’s] origin either.  It only sets up an hypothesis, which collects about it all data that agree, and again ignores what does not fit.”
