New Expanded SUBSTACK EDITION – OVER 150 PAGES OF NEW CONTENT & COMMENTARY!
In Book II we follow science through its classical period to Einstein’s theories of relativity and the beginning of quantum mechanics. The attention of modern science ultimately becomes focused on an ancient abstraction called the atom. Understanding the basic structure of the atom as three interdependent forces called an electron, proton, and neutron leads to a scientific revolution known as the “atomic age.”
This is the period of science which leads to the greatest scientific and technological revolution in human history…
Science becomes the empirical foundation for objective research, study, and investigation into the “real” physical world. Through science, human beings, for the first time, gain the power to control and influence their own physical reality and existence. In science, the modern world reflected a world that was tangible and knowable. There was essentially a reasonable, logical, practical answer for every possible question; it was just a matter of finding it!
There were no impenetrable secrets, no divine mysteries, no spiritual dualities, only scientific truth waiting to be discovered and understood. For a while there appeared to be no problem science could not solve; until the advent of Relativity Theory and Quantum Mechanics.
• What is the distinction between Knowledge, Understanding, and Meaning?
• What is the essential difference between Eastern and Western philosophy?
• How did this distinction allow the West to expand the possibility of Dualism?
• What is the metaphysical foundation supporting the Age of Science?
• What are the basic principles of “classical physics?”
• What does Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity tell us about energy and matter?
• How did Einstein's General Theory of Relativity alter our perception of the universe?
