Excellent video and web page. There is recall visiting a small museum hidden under a cover you could lift a cover and read from one of Eisenstein's journal.. what an exciting moment seeing the actual work in his own hand.. ( if we meet here for a visit Neil we will have to go and view this treasure)
I agree with out the presence science to me has no value. In the movie they talk about crossing the time space barrier you cross to make the connection with the presence and the reservoir of total knowledge contained within. تجنب. القتل والاغتصاب واستعباد الآخرين Avoid; murder, rape and enslavement of others -----Original Message----- From: archytas <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Mon, 16 Mar 2015 5:36 PM Subject: Mind's Eye Einstein and the Mystics The most beautiful and profound emotion we can experience is the sensation of the mystical. It is the sower of all true science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer wonder and stand rapt in awe, is good as dead. When I examine myself and my methods of thought, I come to the conclusion that the gift of fantasy has meant more to me than my talent for absorbing positive knowledge Einstein. This guy has kindly put together 800 Einstein quotes - http://www.gurteen.com/gurteen/gurteen.nsf/id/X0001134E/ My potted version of Einstein working on Relativity and the quantum is not so mystical. The rock and hard place of his time were Maxwell's great equations of forces we can't see (mystical sort of) and contradictory empirical evidence from experiment (Hopf was the great experimenter), Newton and Galileo had also 'noticed relativity'. Einstein read a lot and so knew of the rock and hard place. Even a few school teachers (Abbott) had noticed the 'relativity of dimensions'. Einstein had really worked hard on maths most people still don't do and almost certainly cannot. Poincarre and Lorentz had already produced 'mathematical transformations' that were the solution seed, Instead of hammering away trying to prove Maxwell or the experimenters right, Einstein searched for an underlying kinematics to reconcile both. We might now call this a Wittgensteinian deconstruction, finding what is common deep in apparently conflicting arguments. Everyone in this group, except Gabby (no not really, I'm emphasizing here her important notion of the role of the dunce in the corner, the speed of inertial violence) will admit they are short on positive knowledge, too idle or unskilled to do what Einstein did. Of course, we don't have relativity or quantum physics because of Einstein. There were many others and it is even possible we might have moved further through modified Newtonianism. The following short video is a science-religion meet kinda thingy. I regard it as utter, exploitative crap, that works on ignorance, half-baked ideas and marketing to them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BiTWFdnd7Q To rework current very silly arguments in which 'bright' people like Dawkins take on idiot creationists, we need to go down deeper, yet at the same time not insist participants have 'huge qualifications' in positive knowledge that attempt to make silk purses out of our sows' ears. This is a tough one. -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups ""Minds Eye"" group.
