Underneath everything is energy. What is
energy? It is the potential for what will come into being.
E=mc2
Before anything becomes reality, it
begins as potential energy. This is as true for your thoughts, as it is for the
budding of a flower.
It is difficult to predict specific
events, because the potential energy involved can manifest itself in so many
different ways. Equally, all predictions can only be based on the energy
of the moment. Much can change as the surrounding forces execute their
influence.
The good news: if you are using the
correct tools, it is much easier to predict what the energy will be in the
future. This cannot be done using the cognitive tools we are so familiar
with, because energy is not cognitive in nature.
In focusing on the current energy, it is
often possible for me to extrapolate how things will be in the
future. This can be criticized as not being an “exact science”.
This is indeed true, because it does not use the same tools.
On closer inspection, we can see that
even science is not always accurate. The unexpected often comes up to confound
the “going theory”.
In essence, science relies on the study
of interactions between forces and matter. Theories are created and become the
basis of reality, based on past observations.
This gives us fairly accurate predictions
as to how things are likely to turn out.
In practice, however, the past rarely
equals the present. “Abnormalities” that do not support the theory are more
prevalent than most take the time to notice. Historically, the
advancement of scientific theory often is stunted. Why? Because the
abnormalities are disregarded, in order to keep true to the theory. What
happens for those people who allow themselves to notice the “abnormalities” and
think past the constraints of the theories? Often, they are able to open up new
vistas of understanding.
So then, is science actually really that
objective?
