Thanks Soren, for the reference to Nicolescu’s work (From modernity to cosmodernity) – the outlines on google look interesting. While we are on the topic of modern cosmology (“cosmodernity”?) the following link is relevant:
http://www.nature.com/news/big-bang-blunder-bursts-the-multiverse-bubble-1.15346 Some of us from the biosemiotics forum may remember my occasional post expressing doubt about the established paradigm as it relates to cosmology. I have always found multiverse theory to be particularly cringe-worthy. And the Big Bang model is based on assumptions that have not been established to my satisfaction. For example, some variation of the “tired light hypothesis” can account for the redshift of galaxies. Yes I am aware that the mainstream has “debunked” the tired light hypothesis... or at least believes it to be debunked, but this is the same mainstream that entertains multiverse theory – does the mainstream have credibility issues or what? But the edifice continues to crack. February it was Stephen Hawking (see below). Now it’s this. May the crumbling of the edifice continue apace... though will they listen? Heck no, it’s a religion! Best, sj As per the following excerpt from my email of the biosemiotics forum: From: Stephen Jarosek [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, 1 February 2014 8:46 PM To: '[email protected]' Subject: RE: [biosemiotics:5060] Re: Peirce's cosmology 2) [...] I am, however, a sceptic of both relativity theory and big bang cosmology, and my scepticism continues to be borne out in contemporary “fixes” (dark matter, dark energy, etc, etc) to address a cosmology that is looking increasingly broken (to me). Stephen Hawking now tells us that there are no black holes... I predicted precisely this outcome years ago, though my surprise is that it is Stephen Hawking himself who is now rejecting it! Quantum theory is inconsistent with relativity theory, and one of them has got to go... exit relativity theory (taking big bang theory with it), methinks. So that leaves only quantum theory to contend with.
