Attempt to retreat to the foundation and review the evolution of science shows too many flaws. Let me briefly speak and keep them before you for your evaluation.

Modern science began its search for truth of nature by isolating mind and soul from matter and sought the truth in matter. In this process, he isolated himself and gave immunity to his actions. The foundation of science was laid by Galileo, who proved through experimentation that free fall acceleration is independent of weight. But he failed to tell why free fall acceleration is independent of weight. Let us now look at the first experiment of science.

Galileo, picked balls of different weight but of uniform size and rolled it along a slanted plank and showed that they accelerated and reached the base of the plank at the same time. Thus he gave a law that, in the absence of friction, free fall acceleration is independent of weight. This experiment had many serious flaws that went out of our observation. Galileo through this experiment became the Father of modern science.

1] It is based on condition that no friction exists. But there is no situation or condition where friction does not exists. The second law of thermodynamics forbids this assumption.

2] Galileo in lifting the balls of different weights actually has done work in proportion to the weight of the ball. There is change in energy state of the balls that is proportional to the weight. The ball had to give up its kinetic energy and acquire potential energy imparted to it by Galileo in relation to its weight when he lifted it to the top of the table. When it is released it had to give up the potential energy and acquire kinetic energy from environment. We know the gravitational field is quantified. Suppose we think that the time taken for exchange is proportional to the weight, we end in the same results. The ball with higher weight here takes proportionally larger time to exchange when compared to the ball of smaller weight. Galileo could not have given such an explanation, because the concept of potential and kinetic energy did not exist then. 

The modern science however flowered with Newton’s work. His three laws of motion and law of gravity he developed using Euclidian geometry brought forth the mechanical world view. Though mechanical view of the world weakened due to many later developments in science, this view and his work still holds good.

Newton’s work was built on  

1] His perception that all systems in nature are attracted to one another and that this attraction is related to a term called mass [weight in the absence of gravity] of the system involved. Even today no body can explain what mass is? And what gives Gravity to matter. Gravity is universal and there is no place and situation where gravity does not exist. Newton himself avoided this question by stating the famous term “I frame no hypothesis”

2] He assumed that every system is in uniform accelerated motion in a straight line. This assumption was to facilitate the introduction of Euclidian geometry to explain nature and motion.

He framed his laws of motion and gravitation theory essentially on this perception and assumption and built a predictable and sensible picture of natural motion out of it. According to him, if there are two systems, one big [A]and the other small [B], then they cause proportionate bend in the straight line path of the motion of the system because of the attraction property. This led him to develop the gravitational formula according to which a small system will rotate delicately in a path around a big object at a defined distance. His law when applied to solar systems and its movement turned very nearly correct.

His greatest contribution was his second law of motion [F=ma], where he quantified force. According to him all system is in uniform motion and thus has a force, mass, and acceleration component. When an external force is applied, the system is accelerated and thus has more force and therefore more mass. They formed the foundation of mechanical world view. Most technology that humanity uses today stems from it. The application potentials of the law blind bolded human senses. 

But many questions remained and they were over looked. These questions are

·         What gives the system the property of attraction or mass?

·         What is the force that is causing natural uniform acceleration?

·         If you assume universe as one, then there should exist a huge system around which all the systems rotate.

·         If you try to find a point, then there exists a point that has the highest mass, around which all system rotate. In scientific terms there should exist Higgs Boson particle which gives mass to other systems.

·         The external force acts to increase the uniform acceleration or retard the uniform acceleration.

·         From Galileo and Newton’s own experiments, the origin of this external force that causes acceleration or retardation appears to be human mind which is investigating into nature. This means the intent of mind has potentials to change the uniform acceleration. The change can be positive or negative depending on the intent.

·         This also means the uniform accelerated motion also should have a mind; we can call it Mind of God or the Superior mind and our action at any moments adds or negates to the Mind of God. The Mind of God then should work to maintain the uniform acceleration. God exist in the middle path and works though it as the resistance force against the mind force of human beings that pushes it to two possible limits.

Note – this means both religious fanaticism and material fanaticism is destructive to the well being of the system.

Newtonian world view began to shake when advancement in electro-magnetism came forth. Einstein came to save the situation by introducing new language and new assumption. He visualized that all natural motion is a curvature in space. He introduced a new language called Riemann’s geometry and assumed that space-time is a curvature in space. He also made an assumption that speed of light is the maximum speed. The property of attraction in this theory comes from space-time. This is best understood by taking a net containing huge ball. The ball creates depression in the net and the smaller ball in the net will be inclined to rotate in a circular path around the bigger ball. The existence of the ball changes the space time characteristics of the net. In this picture, under second law of thermodynamics the ball eventually had to fall to a centre point, thus it led to Big bang Theory.

Einstein’s work was based on the assumption that speed of light is the maximum speed, but he failed to answer why speed of light is the maximum speed. The space and time in Newtonian world was independent but Einsteinian world the two scales became one. With Einstein our picture of the world now became curved and relative one. But the premises of both Newton’s and Einstein’s science was predictability of motion. Like Newton, Einstein contributed a simple equation E=mc2 that caused revolution in the modern science. The equation equated energy to mass. But the question remained what property gives mass and gravity to the substance?

Even before Einstein could rest on his laurels, another scientist Heisenberg came up with Unpredictability Theory that contradicted the foundation of Einstein’s Theory. The great scientist of that period joined in Copenhagen and formulated the modern theory of Quantum Mechanics. They simply changed the language of science. The new language was statistics and probability. The world view that emerged out of it was that of randomness and chaos. This Probability Theory gave some recluse from the disastrous picture that emerged from applying second law of thermodynamics to nature. The second law of thermodynamics applied to nature tells us that nature slowly looses energy in the form of heat and eventually leads to heat death. In Probability Theory the possibility of the system reaching “1” and “0” are very rare and thus scientist removed the picture of heat death from their mind and began to work to exploit nature. However, we should note that the theory does not exclude “0” and “1”

The break down of the foundation of physical science, led human attention to life and its functioning. This eventually led to non–linear science and modern computers. Ilya Prigogine and other showed a time direction exists in a random system. This means a time direction and the journey to “0” and “1” became a reality of nature.            

Scientist and their picture of the world were shattered with contradicting developments. They lacked any fundamental stable foundation on which they could comprehend everything they observe in nature and lead humanity to truth of nature and its existence. They were failing miserably to understand the oneness and working of nature both at the fundamental level and at the universal level. In the absence of any sensible picture or truth of nature in the mind of intellectuals ruling the world, the world lacked proper guidelines to grow and advance. Humanity began to exploit all partial knowledge’s recklessly without bothering about the consequence of this exploitation. The result is the modern disordered world edging to self destruction. Humanity has little scope to survive unless he awakens to truth of nature and its oneness. The whole thing boils down to comprehending how predictability exists within unpredictability, how time is directed and yet exist in cycles. How the universe is controlled and perpetuated in never ending cycles.

Before I end this brief chapter let me list some of the key fundamental questions.

1] Why free fall acceleration is the same?

2] What gives mass and gravity to the system?

3] Why the ratio of acceleration of two interacting bodies always 3 ?

4] Why wave particle duality?

5] Why speed of light is the maximum speed?

6] What happens to heat released to the environment by industrial activity and reckless burning of fossil fuels?

7] Why gene is triplet code?

8] Why gene is paired, one dominant and the other recessive?

9] Why DNA is double helical

10] Why pairs of chromosomes?

11] Why mitotic and meiotic division?

12] What is life and what is death?

And so on - this list can grow

I write this as food for thought. The advancement in science has not led to us to the knowledge and perception of truth of nature. The perception of nature by modern man has changed depending on the language he used to describe nature. Modern mans struggle can be summed up as a struggle to twist nature to fit in to chosen mathematical language, such that they can predict and conquer nature. In the absence of truth of nature this has led to reckless exploitation of nature and advancement of self, without ever thinking about what it does to nature and the environment around you. It is time we stop to look at nature and our abode, which sustains us and gives us life.  

In the next chapter, I am going to point out to some vital observations I made in nature after I quit a lucrative career in biotechnology looking for truth of nature. I request the reader to give some thought to it and act on it.
