Common sense tells us thet extreme positions are just that. The universe is so huge and the interactions among its inter-woven constituents infinitely large that we can get only an infinitely partial picture by any measurement at any stage of investigations.
Humility suggests that compromises are the best theories and solutions to understanding.
Science is now on an arrogant path. Some of its theories and formulas are every bit as partial, lopsided and fictitious as its counterparts in the metaphysical world eg String Theory, M Theory.
What do the terms 'singularity' and 'infinite temperature' mean? You may just as well say 'God' or 'Creative Consciousness'.
I firmly maintain that scientific or objective 'Time' doesn't exist. Only subjective 'time' exists as experiential frames of reference with a concatenating ability to give substance to perception.
All standard units of objective Time used in scientific disciplines are based on motion or changes in quantum states measured in nanoseconds! How convoluted can you get?
Science says rate of motion is unchanging based on units which are used to establish the rate of motion.
It is impossible to establish the direction of Time. Is it past-present-future or future-present-past? What does this do the Big Bang?
Take 'Time" ( the dt/dx function) away and the house of science crumbles. And this logic is used to measure everything and then corelations, associations and manipulations - the principal methodology of Physical Sciences - are established. Can anyone tell me what 1+1=2 means in a non-commercial sense?
If the earth is 4.5 billion years old then any magnitude of time larger than this number is totally irrelevent. Yet we march on and Noble prizes are awarded ignoring this fundamental.
Physical sciences don't measure any facet of reality, only approximate analogues are created by throwing waves and particles at the visible portion of the reality. Witness, matter and dark matter or manifest and non-manifest parts of reality.
So how do we measure anything independent of 'Time'? Measurements are when measured relative to when measured last. This establishes true relativity.The current 'Time' is the current volume of the universe.
I think the public is being subjected to the biggest fraud by Astro-Physics and Cosmology to protect vested interests by postulating 'fabulous facades' to justify spending billions on telescopes that could, otherwise, be gainfully used to address the human condition.
I am not anti-science (I have been doing Psychiatric research all my life).
What is at play is the phenomena of 'conditioning' and the 'mutual-admiration club'. If you don't follow the paradigm you are an outcast. Even Einstein suffered as a result of this.
Let me introduce you to another conceptual direction. Application of energy (heat) makes matter less dense, eg solar plasma. May be a further application of much higher levels of energy will convert plasma into granular space.
By the way, 'space' as we define it, is really granular and has a density spectrum from minus infinity to plus infinity. The particle 'Spacon' will turn out to be the same as 'Graviton'.
Gravity is the product of space and not matter.
In the bigger picture, some entities (matter)occupy space while others (mind, thoughts, consciousness) don't require space to exist. This way they all have a home on the density spectrum. This is a fussion of Physical sciences and Meta-physical sciences.
I think super-massive black holes are doing just that. They feed space into the universe.
If all matter came out of nothing and science says a human body is just matter, then, with proper training of a human mind, it should be able to create matter out of mothing. Transient Materialazations happen this way, eg maybe UFO's happen this way.
Happy thinking
Ravi Sadana

Namaste, Consciousness is certainly bringing all of us together. It's very well argued that consciousness need not be residing only in our brains. Whatever you name it, the primal force that brought forth this universe is working its way through us. Thanks and my best wishes!

Greetings from Florida! Great website and a wonderful resource for someone either in school or for personal interests. I am taking a Intro to Philosophy class and I was looking for information pertaining to Pythagoras. I enjoyed your article on this particular philosopher. I also enjoyed learning about their biography as it helps me to get a better picture of who they were and what their interests were in life. Philosophy is amazing and it makes one wish there was such a thing as time travel!
Thank you

Thank you, so much to read. I first visited in September 2003 while looking for the Heart Sutra and Emptiness. I’ve just been revising the Manifestations of emptiness, particularly the third, ‘A particle is a temporary local densification of a field’ which, since then, has become part of my understanding of reality, and revisited out of interest after all these years to have more of a look around. Now bookmarked as one of my special sites.

I just read a very interesting article by Dr.George Northoff, one of the top psychiatry researchers in the world. He is a neuroscientist, psychiatrist, philosopher and writer. Dr. Georg Northoff seeks to unravel some fundamental human mysteries. Northoff, 46, now has the distinction of holding two prestigious Canadian
research chairs simultaneously. North has already published more than 100 scientific papers and several books, including Philosophy of the Brain: The Brain Problem. The human brain has been called the most complex object in the history of human inquiry.
