sounds like a dialogue on the stage of enlightenment
of differing masters ... the truths of one level become
painfully silly or embarassing at another level ...

refining our visions of nature, as we refine our
selves ...

when we have access to a hundred thousand
years of culture ... and likely epochs of galactic
ancestry ... the argument/plea for continually
'explosive-changes' in physics theory seems to
only be an apologism for the adolescence of
the culture going through the changes!

in my case, I do not believe so much that my
consciousness of divine nature, the wilderness,
changed so much ... just that over time and study
and social dialogue I was able to colour in the
details a thousandfold better ... and to awaken
to the connectivity of the experiential realm
(sensation, electric and magnetic phenomena)
and that of the physical dogma I was being
indoctrinated in.

true, as a child I was enthralled with Big Bangs
and Black Holes -- part of the excitement which
further spurred on my studies of the heavens --
yet it truly never did have any correspondence
with my experience of the starry night or the
wind and woods and water and the magical.

as for the nonsense of the Quantum models of
the atom and ab absurdum ... even as a child
in high school it made zero sense to me, and
could not be integrated in the continuous
portrait I had of the world and creation.

my first physics teacher in college, who was
a true mentor of the experience of electricity
and magnetism, had no heart to force upon
me or the other students the gangland brainwash
of Quantum Mechanics.

for all our relations,


Millennium

That's not stupid, that's a result of the scientific
method.
Theories change when new data is discovered that
contradicts the old data. The "theories of physics"
are models of our understanding, nothing more. When
those theories change, physics itself isn't changing, just
our
understanding of it. You don't modify the theories all
willy-nilly, which would be stupid, you
adjust them to fit experimental data.
