give me prof that scientific laws can change!

Newtonian physics gave a very good model of motion mechanics, dynamics, until the speed of light was approached. Newton’s laws are now considered approximations and have been added to by Einstein’s model that accounts for near light speed, relativistic dynamics.
The early models accounted for limits known at the time they were developed. Later modifications added to the earlier equations rather than replaced them.
Newton proposed three laws. The second law, force = mass x acceleration, was not limited. However velocity does not increase infinitely.
Newton – Force = rate of change of momentum

Einstein – Force = (rate of change of mass) c
Where c = speed of light.

Towards a Gnostic Science

Posted by admin | 26/02/10 | Tagged Science

Interested in Learning More about Internet Marketing Try Commission Blueprint 2.0 here.

With a foreword by Member Professor Peter Stewart, this magisterial work is a greatly extended version of the author’s earlier book Mirages in Western Science Resolved by Occult Science. The breadth of coverage and depth of thought are truly remarkable as the work of a single scholar. Edi has studied the detail and relationships of many different disciplines and integrated them into an overarching view of the relationship between Western science and occult insight or gnosis. Network readers will be familiar with the background of much of the material presented here as a development of the original work of HP Blavatsky. Both Theosophists and early members of the SPR felt that a marriage between science and mysticism was eminently possible, and that science did not have to entail an exclusively materialistic world view.

As we know, the quest and the struggle continue after 130 years. Edi makes his own position clear when he writes that ‘Occult Science is not bent on toppling, but rather on uplifting Western science to an even nobler position, by using examples from Western science itself to show how it is rooted in the deeper substratum of Occult Science and Philosophy.’ One needs to remind oneself that the word

science is derived from the Latin ‘scientia’, meaning knowledge in a wider sense.

The book falls into three major parts: an exposition of Western science, and especially its findings on cosmology, consciousness, sound and light. The second part treats the different methodological approaches of Western science and occult science, while the third part is a detailed exposition of the tenets of occult science and the ways in which it can underpin and extend the understanding of modern physical science. Edi is a very clearly aware of the intrinsic limitations of modern Science as an approach based on quantification and which does not have a coherent account of the subjective nature of consciousness.

He shows how the mind is used within this structure of argument effectively to deny itself, and draws attention to the importance of presuppositions, criticising, for instance, the assumption that realism can be equated with reality. The essential distinction between the two approaches is that scientific truth is acquired from without and is utterly different from spiritual truth revealed from within. It is the distinction between observation and participation. The author’s discussion of this point would have benefited from some references to the work of Ken Wilber, who analyses the question of

intersubjective verification of mystical insights. However, he does draw usefully on the work of Paul Brunton.

The second part begins with a discussion of the nature and structure of the Divinity, which contains some brilliant analysis of such concepts as manifestation in relation to limitation and form, and the emergence of duality and diversity within the framework of the unity of existence. He rejects the notion of a personal God who created the universe at a particular time, arguing that the universe is not separate from God, but an organic or bodily expression of deity itself. Divine action is manifested through the harmonizing principle of karma.

The principal duality responsible for manifestation is explained in terms of Shiva or divine consciousness and Shakti or divine power, a structural duality that can be found at every level of existence. This topic, as with many others, is amply illustrated by means of extensive charts. I found Edi’s definition of substance somewhat unusual, as he defined it as the ‘subjective, noumenal term applied to the formmaking or vehicle-providing principle of which the object of realisation is Matter.’ The function of this within Western thought would be equivalent to a morphogenetic field. Matter remains a vehicle for manifestation.

This section also contains a very useful discussion of the relationship between light and consciousness. There is an extensive chapter on various ways in which issues within modern science are resolved through occult science. This takes the form of a proposition, followed by an elucidation from Western science and a resolution using the principles of occult science.

The main proposition of the book is that at the root of the physical universe is Consciousness or Mind – hence efforts to detect such a reality by purely physical means will never be successful. Deep self-knowledge is a prerequisite to inner insight, which stands as complementary to the outerdirected methods of modern science. Edi is highly critical of the onesidedness of a purely quantitative approach, and of the ways in which scientism castigates those who do not follow its dictates. Vast though the range of the book is, the principal focus on Theosophical writings means that the works of other perennial philosophers receive little or no attention: Nasr, Schuon, Guenon, Coomaraswamy and Ken Wilber for example.

I also felt that the rhetorical device, used twice, of a dialogue between the archetypal sceptical scientist (ASS) versus an occultist, wise and learned (OWL) lowered the tone, even if it provided some amusement. Occultists and perennial philosophers can also be rigid and dogmatic. However, these are small reservations in relation to such a profound work, which will repay close study.

Interested in Learning More about Internet Marketing Try Commission Blueprint 2.0 here.

Biomedical science jobs can direct to a wealthy career and profession nowadays in UK. Biomedical sciences are the one of the most and professional jobs oriented sectors in United Kingdom.

What is Biomedical Science and what do Biomedical Scientists do?

Biomedical Science is the application of biological science in clinical analysis. Biomedical scientists often work in hospital laboratories where they analyse blood samples, tissues samples, and bodily fluids to diagnose diseases, improve health and monitor the treatment of patients with conditions such as cancer.

Biomedical scientists are an integral part of the Health care function and work along side doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals in the care of patients.

How do I enter the Biomedical science profession?

If you enjoy science and its practical application in healthcare and research, then a qualification in biomedical science may be for you. Students need to study biomedical science at degree level in order to enter the profession. University entrance usually requires ‘A’ levels or equivalent in Biology and chemistry and GCSE level or equivalent in mathematics. Subjects covered at degree level are based on the application of biological science to clinical diagnosis. There are many areas covered that include microbiology, pharmacology, clinical and medicinal chemistry, physiology, pathology, cytology and many more.

What are the job opportunities in Biomedical Science?

Although many biomedical science graduates work in hospitals, many are also employed in the public health, forensics, pharmaceutical, veterinary, and medical research sectors. Many students also use it as a stepping stone for further medical training.

Some Important Science Fiction Books

Posted by admin | 20/02/10 | Tagged Science

Interested in Learning More about Internet Marketing Try Commission Blueprint 2.0 here.

#1: Dune (Frank Herbert)

Science Fiction doesn\’t get much better then this. Dune is every Science Fiction aficionado\’s wet dream. Many people claim Dune is Science Fiction\’s answer to \”Lord of the Rings\” and I have to agree: it sure is. For more details www.be-a-stargazer.com There are many good science fiction books, but Dune is indeed a giant among giants. It truly is a pinnacle of Science Fiction literary achievement. If you haven\’t read Dune, doesn\’t waste any more time. Read it now!

# 2: Starship Troopers (Robert Heinlein)

War is beautiful according to Robert Heinlein. This is a novel about the glorification of war. The premise: space-marines wearing special armor battle vicious alien insect aliens. This is classic \”old school\” science fiction at it\’s best. It\’s a rip-roaring ride through the galaxy that you don\’t want to miss.

#3 : Ender\’s Game (Orson Scott Card)

This is one of the corner stones of science fiction and one novel that you shouldn\’t miss. A critique on society, the story of a boy who refuses to give up, a battle to save the fate of mankind – this science fiction book combines them all into one addictive and compelling mix that shouldn\’t be missed.

#4: Foundation (Isaac Asimov)

This is undoubtedly on of the finest works of science fiction ever written. If you a fan of science fiction with grandiose and epic storylines, get your hand on this book.

A corollary: Foundation is a series for people who love grand and complex ideas. If you are looking for a book heavy on the action but thin on concepts, this may not be the book for you. The strength of the ideas presented are the focus of this story, not the characterization. Regardless, this is one of those Science Fiction books that you just need to read. You will never think about Science Fiction the same way after reading the Foundation series.

#5: Snow Crash (Neal Stephenson)

Part-time hacker and pizza delivery boy and full time samurai swordsman, meet Hiro Protagonist. Snow Crash is breath taking novel with action and pacing thick enough to drown in. Snow Crash redefined and rejuvenated the Cyberpunk genre. For more details www.fire-itup.com If you want a novel with bucket loads of action, futuristic Technologies ala The Matrix, and the gritty futuristic dystopia of the Blade Runner world, Snow Crash is the perfect recommendation.

#6: Forever War (Joe Haldeman)

The Forever War is pretty much The Vietnam War in space. It\’s brutal and bloody and makes a strong case that war really is pointless. Don\’t let the strong political statement of the novel deter you, however; this is Science Fiction at its finest: a complex, disturbing novel that makes you think…and feel. It\’s a great Science fiction story that you don\’t want to miss, a true masterpiece of the genre.

#7: The Night\’s Dawn (Peter Hamilton)

This is space opera science fiction done right: Massive space battles, a large cast of compelling characters, political tension between planets, and an all out grand adventure. There is a good deal of space opera in the science fiction genre already, but Peter Hamilton is one of the best character writers in the genre and his plots are just so damn interesting. He really knows how to write a rip-roaring adventure that keeps you up into the late hours of the morning. Those in the mood for something big with lots of action, both in and out of space, Night\’s Dawn trilogy delivers.

#8: Gap (Steven R. Donaldson)

This disturbing series is a dark ride into hell that you don\’t want to miss. It\’s one of the darkest set of books I\’ve read, period. But the world that Stephen Donaldson draws is superb. Stephen Donaldson is an author that cares deeply about characterization, and he excels at crafting anti-heroes. If you are looking for some dark space opera, I highly recommend the Gap series.

#9: Otherland (Tad William)

Those looking for something like the Matrix in written form need look no longer. Otherland is about as close as you\’ll get. With less mumbo jumbo psycho babble and more realism, Otherland makes for a really compelling read. Otherland starts slow, but those willing give it a chance will be greatly rewarded.

#10: Altered Carbon (Richard Morgan)

This is one dystopian cyberpunk with a lot of style and some seriously punishing action. I guarantee that once you start reading this novel, you won\’t be putting it down. Morgan is a man with some visionary ideas; he always has interesting characters, twisting plots, and heart-pounding action. Those that love Blade Runner, Snow Crash, and Neuromancer are in for a treat.

What is Science Fiction?

Posted by admin | 17/02/10 | Tagged Science

Interested in Learning More about Internet Marketing Try Commission Blueprint 2.0 here.

Science fiction is a genre of fiction where the stories often deal with elements of science or technology and many of these imaginary elements are largely possible within scientifically-established or scientifically-postulated laws of nature. In many of these stories some of the scientific elements, or most of it, are still pure imaginative speculation. Science fiction is therefore often called speculative fiction.

Science fiction should to some extent be related to science that is in existence at the time of writing, i.e. the science should not be completely unbelievable or implausible, for the reason that it will then venture into the genre of fantasy. Sometimes the boundary between science fiction and fantasy can get fuzzy, but the primary separation between the two genres concerns whether the story is plausible or not. Rod Serling (1924 – 1975), an American screenwriter and television producer, best known for his live television dramas of the 1950s and his science fiction anthology TV series, The Twilight Zone, differentiated between science fiction and fantasy by saying: “Fantasy is the impossible made probable. Science Fiction is the improbable made possible.”

In Brave New Words (2007), Jeff Prucher defined Science fiction as “a genre (of literature, film, etc.) in which the setting differs from our own world (e.g. by the invention of new technology, through contact with aliens, by having a different history, etc.), and in which the difference is based on extrapolations made from one or more changes or suppositions; hence, such a genre in which the difference is explained (explicitly or implicitly) in scientific or rational, as opposed to supernatural, terms.”

Many of the settings or story elements in science fiction deal with settings that are contrary to the known reality. Some of these may include:

  • A setting in outer space, on other worlds or planets, or involving aliens, or all of these elements combined
  • A setting somewhere in the future, in a parallel universe, in an alternative timeline, or in a historical past that oppose known facts of history or archaeological finds
  • Stories that engage scientific principles or technology that contradict known laws of physics or nature
  • Stories that involve the discovery or the application of new scientific principles, such as time travel, or new innovations or technology, such as nanotechnology, faster-than-light Travel or robots, or of new and different political or social systems

I hate science. My primary and secondary school teachers have never made me interested in it. It is always confusing and they always deduct so many marks for using a wrong word and u have to explain every detail even for a one mark question. U also need to aply wht u learn and i am bad at that. I always get low marks for science. There is sooooo much memorising to do!!! I hate it yet i want to do well in it. Many pple say tht math and Science are related. I love math but hate science. How can it be so? I normally get A+ for math. Any science teachers or excellent science students can help me?

find some interesting facts in science and find thing like experiments to make you interest in it….. i used to hate it before.. it just takes the will to have interest in it.. and if you don’t understand you can ask the teacher to make it all easier for you

Cognitive Science – Nature of Intelligence

COGNITIVE SCIENCE – NATURE OF INTELLIGENCE

            Many people reading this article may not be familiar with the term ‘Cognitive Science’. But the term ‘Artificial Intelligence’ may sound familiar, as its often heard term and its a booming research area. ‘Cognitive Science’ may be considered as opposite of ‘Artificial Intelligence’, as former deals with study of intelligence in human ,where as  later deals with intelligence of machines and the branch of computer science which aims to create it.

            Cognitive science, the term was coined by Christopeher Longuet – Higgins in 1973. It is an interdisciplinary field. The interdisciplines are Psychology, Neuro science, Linguistics, Philosophy of mind, Computer Science, Anthropology, Biology and Physics. The objective of Cognitive Science is to attain a complete understanding of the mind/brain and its processes.

            Attaining the complete understanding of the mind/brain is not possible by single level analysis.  As the field is highly interdisciplinary, research often draws research methods from different fields such as Psychology , Neuro Science , Computer Science etc., Any of the research methods on their own would not fully explain the process of brain. The relational study of the outcomes of the researches can give a clear picture of process of brain, but to its limits.

            Consider the problem of remembering a phone number and recalling it later. The problem can be approached in many ways. Two of the ways are explained here. One approach is to study the behavior through direct observation i.e. accuracy of the response could be measured when the phone number is recalled by the person. Another approach is to study the working of individual neurons while the person is recalling the phone number. Neither of the approach on their own would solve the problem completely, as discussed before.

            Cognitive Science has yielded a multitude of practical applications. The area of Robotics has seen the development of new and more sophisticated robots capable of executing complex tasks, thus making a positive economic impact. Advances in Neuro science often result in new treatments for disorders such as Autism, Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease. Cognitive theories in Psychology have provided new therapies for the treatment of anxiety and depression. Cognitive insights have also created an impact in Education having led to new methods in the teaching of reading, writing and other subjects.

           Thus concentrating more on this field of research can yield much better outcomes to improve our society both economically and psychologically.
