BOLD UNFETTERED THINKING
PHYLOSOPHY Must LEAD SCIENCE
A mega size experiment is becoming conducted by wealthy nations of the world for studying the effects of proton collision, involving an astronomical sum of funds, when poor people are denied even simple education. I can say beforehand that the experiment is bound to fail.
Things like the massive bang denoting the beginning of time are at best mere conjectures. In India, we think that time has no beginning and no end. Kal is a God. Our ancestors knew that the earth is round, which is circling the sun and eclipse is caused by the shadow of earth covering the moon etc.etc. All this, they knew by minute observation and a lot of thinking to realize the reality.
On the other hand, in the west, experiments preceded theory. The observed phenomena had to be explained in some sort of hypothesis, even so weak, the theory may well be .Further study may possibly prove the weakness of an earlier theory. In science every single evidence has to be thoroughly subjected to logical analysis. In a way, this is something like criminal investigation.Initially,we have to go by some theory. Whenever some new evidence comes up, necessitating a review of the theory, the investigation may well have to be started all over once more.
At present, the theory about the massive bang is still becoming debated. If the world is expanding and contracting alternatively,our observation,restricted to a hundred year or so,does not convince everyone about its universality.
Time and space occupied the central stage in any discussion because of their immediacy and total involvement in our life.These days we are often “fighting against time and for space”!
Typically,we talk of the present, of which we are absolutely positive, the past of which we can only guess (where had been our ancestors fifty thousand years ago ?) and the
future of which we are so eager to know(a entire organization thrives on our weakness minting millions because we are fools).Alas! The present is a myth as I shall show.
You are reading this.As soon as you read 1 letter it goes into the past.You Simply Cannot WRITE “PRESENT”. See, it has turn into the past.Like a train moving at a billion miles in one second. Can a passenger point out a single wayside spot to a co-passenger? Before you attempt to point your finger, the train has fled a few million miles.
In order to measure time ,we should have a unit, as science does not recognize anything that can’t be measured.( otherwise, it ought to have recognized Him ,our creator , lengthy ago!) The unit, the second,is derived by dividing the average length of the day by
24x60x60.Consequently,it becomes mandatory to stay rooted to the earth so that time can be measured.
Picture you and I to be in a space station along with hundreds of scientists with all equipment for study ,and ,inexhaustible store of food and water for survival for thounds of generations to come(if wishes were space stations we ,beggars,would ride in it) .For recording time, we have atomic clocks and the calendars updated each so referred to as
year, such as leap year, even though , generations have come and gone and the space station has traveled at least a couple of billions light years and the earth is just a globe we carried for telling children how mother earth looked like.Suddenly,disaster has struck.(Don’t worry! Nothing can occur to the station).One fine morning (mamma,what is a morning?) all the clocks have stopped. What shall we do now to measure time? Our science will become nonsense without the fundamental unit of TIME. In course of “time” all will forget the word. Do Eskimos have a word for time?
Are you now convinced that time is a terrestrial illusion?
When we come to measure space, it is more complex.Very first, we need to have the directions :east,west,north and south.A man standing at the south Pole in Antartica has only one direction. Every single point on the earth is due north. The sun rises in the north and sets in the north.London is due north as also San Francisco. And space needs two far more directions :up and down, which are relative and alter every single moment.In our imaginary space station there is no way of measuring it.We are far away from our universe and speeding away.We know “space” but we have no means of measuring it.Like God,happiness, sorrow ,pain etc ,we can feel time and space but we can never quantify it and measure it .How does science accept it then ?
The word geometry indicates measurement of the earth.When we “own” land, we have to measure it. In the exact same way, life on earth depends quite much on time.In other words these two terms got ingrained in our consciousness .We forgot the truth that their association with the earth on which we live is responsible for these terms being ingrained in our cosciousness.Even the concept “the sun rises in the east” is parochial .In the north Pole it rises and sets in the south!Concepts are passed on from generation to generation, resulting in mass hypnotization. We should escape from this illusion (Maya) and our own body which acts as an opaque covering blinding our vision,to recognize the eternal and universal TRUTH THAT TIME AND SPACE, AS WE Recognize IT, ARE TERRESTRIAL ILLUSIONS. Therefore, we ought to recognize the futility of experimenting initial, and somehow expecting the truth to spring up ,like alchemists !
Proton Disintegration
This is happening usually and everywhere.When two challenging substances collide, heat is produced How? When lightning strikes ,large quantity of electricity is produced which is much much more than can be explained by the transfer electrostatic energy contained in the clouds.When we rub our hands heat is generated How ? In burning of fuel heat is produced.We say chemical energy.What is the mechanism?
My theory is that some member or sub atomic particles of the atom disintegrates changing into energy releasing huge quantity of heat according to the well-known equation (has it been proved to a reasonable degree of accuracy?) e = mc2.
As a result, let us be crystal clear about concepts like time and space before starting experimentation involving massive expenditure and consuming more than 20 years of valuable labour.
