"A
man must not swallow more beliefs than he can digest." -
Havelock Ellis
(The
Dance of Life)
The
Death of Science
- by Stephen Bray
At the
beginning of the 20th century, many scientists thought that
most of the scientific problems of the world had been solved,
or would shortly be solved. But Relativity and Quantum
Theories overturned the certainties of physics and it has
since been established that there are true statements that
cannot be proved within any logical system.
Science
has come full circle. This story began with a man who in
pursuing understanding of the natural world infuriated a pope
and only avoided the forced separation of his body from his
head by recantation of the evidence of his senses. It
ends with a statement from the man who lost the use of his
body through disease, but continued to find God in his head
using the telescope of science. Through his quest, and with
the help of other great scientists we may discover that God,
the universe, the actors in this story, the story itself, the
writer, and you dear reader, are all self-reflections of a
non-local consciousness.
