Much of this was like woosh to me admittedly, but in between the Greek; happy to see that even distinguished scientists with degrees seem to think that we are nowhere near understanding 'the mind of God' as the late Stephen Hawking once or twice proposed we might be, may he rest in peace.
So, a TOE seems more and more improbable. The most sane and reasonable stance IMO would then be to suspect but not know an infinite number of layers, scales and dimensions, be it in terms of time, space or speeds.
Such a position would seem useful in theory-creation as it would free our assumptions about the universe from our natural human-centered prejudices in a radical way.
And philosophically, place us in the center of the universe again in a way (since the center of an infinite universe is everywhere).
And tentatively allow us to get a glimpse of, albeit not understand and certainly not acquire, 'the mind of God'.
But this is obviously where science ends and belief begins.
- notduncansmith 8y agoThis has been roughly my position for the past few years and it has, without a doubt, multiplied my ability to understand new concepts and perceive causal relationships, among many other positive radical changes.
