For People that are Concerned about These Types of Things by William Amos Carine

Hi Ogungbuyi,

Walt Whitman truly was a blessed soul, and I am glad he cultivated his gift! I read your essay. Thank you for contributing such a nice piece! I don't think technology is inherently bad, but when science becomes all about using the scalpel to understand, and when finding application with technology as the end goal takes over, that is where I see human waste most despicable in this sector.

Hey Validmir,

Thanks for quoting what parts you liked the most! That song packs a lot of thought into an easy digestible form.... I think Einstein said something along the lines of humankind needing a shift in consciousness for our survival, or development further.

Jim,

While I was very active as a kid in the woods, I did not participate ever in any protests or movements besides what I think the flow of the day should go. This comes from a sense of being alive more than any activist sentiments. I will look over your essay. Thank you for reading this one and commenting. Time is short for idle people, doesn't relativity say so for v?

Best regards,

Amos

William,

I'm sorry I skipped yours on first pass but really glad of the chance to read it now. You seem to have a good fundamental understanding of the issues and expressed them very well.

I think Bronowski's view that science is about finding unity in hidden likeness is massively important, and reflects; "A young Einstein, to paraphrase, wrote to his friends that there were great joys in connecting two things which before seemed entirely separated."

I take up that point i my own essay showing how relativity and QM can be unified classically free of paradox, which I see as your; "pursuing the major goal of science now", by overcoming the current limitation that "only about 12% of the brain is commonly used" and recognizing that; "interdisciplinary research is very important," by invoking effects from across physics for a coherent solution, resolving the problem that; "Planck's equation, after all these years, is still begging the question of what the quantum is." as Bohr never did commit to any 'structure'. I hope you may like my allegory, please do comment or question.

Our essays are quite different, and many haven't seen the 'quantum leap' that advancement of thinking and understanding nature can bring. History has proven that better understanding is the driver advancements, yet we will treat symptoms not fundamental cause. Very well done for your clear hitting of all the main points I employ and more. It should certainly be up in the 5's I think.

Best wishes

Hey Peter,

I look forward to reding your essay as i am sure that you articulated thoughts that i was not able to! I feel that you got the jist of the writting and warmly thank you for the effort expended on the reading! Ultimately, real advances in science, or perhaps a broad statement will be parted iif i say in human development, happen ith an i.ntuitive, bold stride in the dark. Although some smarts are needed to communicate results in the proper language, i would dare to say this sort of blind guessing, of uneducatedly knowing, is of greater importance than ntelligence. Intelligence is primarily how well you deal with people and social matters. There has to be a deeper standard. than that. Think of all the genius that has been spent on trying to unify the big. two. Einstein would point his finger about something fishy going on with qm, but don't people do the same for sr and simultaneity derived there especially? Point being,if qm is to be superceded by more fundamental ideas, so too may gr. But if that is the case, there is at least as much validity in starting out with relativity principles as any other modern or post modern idea can claim. i don't see any miraculous combo move combining the two, but a shift in basicc thinking which will pop out reductions to the two pillars, qm and gr. Still, i will read your paper with an open mind. I wonder that some uniification would ease the mind of many physicists and the extremely important interested laymen, and if that too might have some trickle down effectt, as technology does from pure abstractions and concieved ideas.. As fof the rating, i am flattered, but the technical weakness is apparent. As with any human endeavor or venture, it could be better!

Warm wishes,

Amos Carine
