"When forced to summarize the general theory of relativity in one sentence: Time and space and gravitation have no separate existence from matter. ... Physical objects are not in space, but these objects are spatially extended ... thus the concept of particles cannot play a fundamental part, ... and can only appear as a limited region in space in which the field strength or energy density are particularly high."
(Albert Einstein, Metaphysics of Relativity, 1950)
"It is my firm belief that the last seven decades of the twentieth century will be characterized in history as the dark ages of theoretical physics. ... The quantum world is a world of waves, not particles."
(Carver Mead, Professor Emeritus at Caltech. Received $500,000 Lemelson-MIT Prize in 1999)

Present evolutionary theory has failed scientifically and socially. We need a new model of life, one that integrates biological and cognitive systems as an integral part of the universe. We must give life a larger purposes, one that not only includes the universe at large, but also the common mans future. One that sustains and renews life for all.
The danger of working from a poor scientific model of life, has become evident in the last century. Economic imbalances, ecological destruction, and even war world two was fought on the bases of the survival of the fittest.
What if it turns out life takes leaps in organization based on the emergence of cooperative networks? What if it turns out life is based on a wave function firstly, and biochemical systems secondly?
What if there is a new model waiting to be discovered right under our nose, that will change the way we look at life forever? |

We need a TRUE model of life
Nice post. What we need (as I see things) is a TRUE model of life, and because current standard model of physics (founded on 'particles') is wrong, this also means that it will be a NEW model of life.
I think the Wave Structure of Matter has a lot to offer in this regard, hope you will give us your thoughts on it in time.
Cheers,
Geoff |

'Do for your neighbour, as you would want done for yourself'
Dont just read this and accept it or decline it, think about it... im not a Christian and i dont belive in a higher power, but if everyone lived by this rule then the world would actually become a perfect place...
Not gona happen though i know.
What is evolutionary processes are use mortals going through now?
We must be getting taller because back 100-200 years ago doors were only 4 ft high in Wales  . |

I was there about 2 years before I believed. I'm sure that the words hit home for a reason....
Peace....
