DO
WE LIVE IN AN ACCIDENTAL UNIVERSE OF RANDOM COINCIDENCES?
Dividing the world of our experiences
into the internal or subjective and the external, assumed to be completely
independent of any form of consciousness, i.e. leaving consciousness out of the
equations, as the current scientific paradigm does, alienates consciousness
from the ‘real’ world of the physical universe and leads to an endless chain of
unresolvable paradoxes. The prevalence of this attitude among scientists is
expressed very well by MIT physicist - become science writer Alan Lightman in
his recent book “The Accidental Universe”. In talking about the apparent
‘fine-tuning’ of the physical universe (if any one of a number of parameters
were only a tiny bit different, there would be no chance for life as we know
it), he says “Intelligent Design is an answer to fine-tuning that does not
appeal to most scientists.”
When confronted with the
observer-related non-locality of Bohr’s solution to the EPR paradox, most
scientists prefer the multiverse theory, devised to preserve Cartesian duality and
keep consciousness out of the picture of ‘scientific objectivity’. In the
multiverse theory, there are many, many parallel universes. Just how many there
are is unknown and unknowable, because your consciousness only exists in this
one, and unfortunately you cannot experience any of the other universes. Thus,
just like the spate of string theories, there is no hope of proving or
disproving such a theory. Even though these scientists pride themselves in
being ‘hard-nosed’ objective scientists (read: materialists), it doesn’t seem to bother them that string theory
and the multiverse theory cannot be tested. At best, they can only be
internally consistent; and thus they do not even qualify as scientific
hypotheses. By retreating into safely unprovable theories, they continue to
throw the baby out with the bath water. TDVP, on the other hand, by including
consciousness as an objective reality, is producing testable results and
explaining observations that the current materialistic paradigm cannot explain.
Several of these are listed in the previous section.
In this paper, I take the time to
explain exactly how we put consciousness into the equations as part of
objective reality, and show how doing so explains many things inexplicable in
the current materialistic paradigm.
Yes, Edward, this Force, the Ultimate Force, which contains an essential Duality within its own Singularity, is within us all, hopefully helping us to progress towards a perfected state of conscious existence, life after life, ad infinitum. My mystically-inspired formula, Y( Universal Intelligence) = X (Its stages 0,1,2,3,4) squared + One deals with this in a more generalized way, and means mathematically that this process can never come to nothing (naught). The One (the Ultimate Force) ensures this. So, may the Ultimate Force be with you, in all you are now trying to achieve via your own discipline.
