Max Planck the German Physicist said “We have no right to assume that any physical laws exist, or if they have existed up to now that they will continue to exist in a similar manner in the future” (The Universe in the Light of Modern Physics).
Sir Isaac Newton told us why an apple falls down from the sky, from this fact it´s not plain to see his thoughts oft pulsed with mercury. By Jupiter that can´t be true! Well Jupiter helped him think things through. The occult corpusculars he described set physics in motion on mechanical tides and gravity’s force in his minds eye even created an end of time, but relatively speaking what if time flies? And energy equals mass multiplied by the speed of light squared, An Einstein curve ball – spacetime. Just a matter of fact? Well, hold onto your hat, E=mc² lets take a good look at that. = means equals… thinking things through take two expressions (none inspired) just place them gently side by side voilà, they are exactly the same value we may even conjecture me could = you. However, equals in maths does not describe how one is the other except by ink and two lines. How does the E in energy really become the mass we see? It could be kinetics that theory might do as the speed molecules move makes mass come true then look closer still – quarks will wave at you, or in quanta packets, perhaps 3 for 2. But then again in scales so small general relativity won´t sit nicely at all! Still got your hat? The how in energy to mass is not yet matter of fact. Some even say, sub-atomically, we´ll only find what we presume to be, though with a dash of quantum uncertainty. Just like calculus or revised deep analysis zero divided by zero won´t divide, so please mind the gap, zero divided by zero leaves divide there it is again, just a derivative of the mind. This quest to understand has long gotten out of hand, experiment without censure is like a pilot with dementia! But knowledge is power for the merchants of light, while power for powers sake burns your soul into night. Some science tried to ennoble, saying it could prove God was true, is that what He needed, or asked us to do? Our earth is being torn, merged with risk and doubt and our lives are shorn on investments that hide the way out. We´ve a paradigm to shift, from the head – to the heart, it´s a question of faith, that´s a good start. Please lend an ear, try to listen, then apples may fly because they´ve been left un-bitten. By Michelle Thomasson(Matthew 13:9 and 22:36-40)
Sir Isaac Newton after some revisions calculated the end time to be 1948 from “Newton´s Notebook, The Life, Times and Discoveries of Sir Isaac Newton” written and complied by Joel Levy.
“Newton and other seventeenth-century aficionados based their research on a hermetic tradition that went back to the Babylonians, was developed in Egypt and Greece as well as China and India, and arrived in Europe from the Islamic Empire in the twelfth century. As an eastern import, alchemy´s specialized vocabulary stemmed from transliterated Arabic words… One of Alchemy´s most open academic advocates was Roger Bacon, who is often heralded as a pioneer of modern experimental science. In a way he was-yet his emphasis on hands on-investigation came from alchemy, which he regarded as supremely valuable..” Science a Four Thousand Year History written by Patricia Fara (p. 100 -101 and 104, 2009).
Roger Bacon (c. 1214-92), ´Doctor mirabilis´, Franciscan philosopher… not later than 1236 he made his way to Paris where he was one of the first to lecture on Aristotle (incl. the ´Liber de Causis´). Here he became interested in experimentation and, c. 1247, resigned his chair to devote himself to science… A new stage in Bacon´s career was reached in the middle sixties… The outcome was the work since known as the ´Opus Majus´. This he soon followed by the ´Opus Minus´; and both Opera, together with ´De Multiplicatione Speciarum´ and a work on alchemy, were dispatched to the Pope c. 1268. Unfortunately Bacon did not gain the Papal commendation he hoped for, Clement having died on 29 Nov 1268. Bacon then returned to Oxford, where he wrote inter alia, Gk. and Heb. grammars. He also completed his ´Opus Tertium´. The three ´Opera´ together were an encyclopaedic treatise, dealing with such diverse subjects as the relation between philosophy and theology, grammar, mathematics, geography, perspective, physiology, and experimental science (´domina omnium scientiarum´). The Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church Edited by F.L. Cross, 1957.
Three and a half centuries later another Bacon – Francis Bacon became the main European proponent and champion of experimentation, he coined the phrase “knowledge is power” (Nam et ipsa scientia potestas est – For also knowledge itself is power Meditationes Sacrae 1597) and used the term “merchants of light” for experimental scientists – this is also noted in many books e.g. The Book of Books by Melvyn Bragg (2011).
“Bacon, Francis, (1561 – 1626), Viscount St. Albans, philosopher, essayist, orator, and lawyer… Throughout his life Bacon was strongly attracted to the problems of philosophy. His Proficience and Advancement of Learning (1605) was designed to sum up the stock and deficiencies of human knowledge and to insist that since man´s power to control nature was in his own hands, success rested on applying the right methods. By inductions from the simplest facts of experience man could reach forward to the discovery of fundamental principles which in turn would issue in beneficial practical results. In the Novum Organum (1620) he expounded these ideas more systematically. Here he outlined what he termed the ´Great Instauration´ and developed his well-known analysis of the fallacies which beset human thought (idola tribus, idola specus, idola fori, idola theatri)… His New Atlantis (1627, posthumous) described the ideal State, in which the New Philosophy would be carried through by political machinery and State guidance, aided by a college of science (´Solomon´s House´). Meanwhile Bacon´s Essays had been appearing with additions in each new edition (1597, 1612, 1625); the famous one on ´Atheism´ first saw light in 1612.
Bacon carried his empiricism into the realm of morals. He denied the existence of absolute rules of conduct or of a ´summum bonum´.” The Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church Edited by F.L. Cross, 1957. Please note: summum bonum – chief or supreme good.
“Alchemy – al the + kimia, apparently a Gr. χημεία, found (c. 300) in the Decree of Diocletian against ´the old writings of the Egyptians, which treat of the χημία (transmutation) of gold and silver´: hence the word is explained by most as ´Egyptian art,´ and identified with χημία, Gr. form (in Plutarch) of the native name of Egypt (land of Khem or Khame, hieroglyphic Khmi, ´black earth´, in contrast to the desert sand). The Compact Edition of the Oxford English Dictionary, Volume 1971.
In 1557 Robert Recorde an English mathematician introduced the = sign for equals (The Whetstone of Witte).
