I recently read a NY Times Book review concerning a new book called "A Different Universe - Reinventing Physics From the Bottom Up"
I was stunned to discover a scientist who was finally speaking openly about what I've long suspected about the world. Basically, modern science may rest on the unproven assumption that all properties can be derived from a billiard ball view of atoms. The author is attacking the overuse of reductionism and discusses emergent properties of experiments that cannot be derived from the simple set of properties at hand. I have often felt that few scientists are willing to consider that the UNIVERSE IS ULTIMATELY ARBITRARY. Indeed, the only ones I know of are Stenger ( famous skeptic) and Victor Mansfield ( astrophysist who writes new age books). I just stumbled across a powerful modality for treating cancer in vivo - by using electrical fields in an unexpected range (100 - 300khz) (Cancer Research 64 3288-3295 May 1 2004) Who knows what we might find by reducing our sense of reductionism!
