Now here's a question that's been puzzling me for a while, since the brain of your blogger was never wired for Mathematics or Science. In fact at school examinations of my mind, measured in GCE at ordinary level showed Maths so poor that an even lower level of proficiency only allowed Grade 2, i.e. basic arithmetic, whilst General Science scraped a pass at Grade 4 GCE, mostly due to an interest in Biology. The first year at Advanced Level was spent studying English, Geography and History, before the well-meaning old Cambridge Don and Headmaster decided to offer Philosophy as an option, just for fun. Soon after pondering the deeper questions like: Know Thyself; To Thine Own Self Be True plus Follow the Argument Wherever it Leads You, I was out of there and on the life-long quest for Truth with a big T ...
50+ years later, here we are, still curious!
Still waiting to hear from mathematicians or physicists too, about this tricky question of non-locality, called by Einstein "spooky action at a distance" since it expanded the definition of the speed of light, the c squared in the famous equation about the relationship between Mass and Energy, where C had a precise number before it was squared. It all worked fine for a while - you know nuclear energy, nuclear bombs and so on, and other things less lethal, but Albert never accepted the weird world of Quantum Mechanics, since it disproved the constancy of C, squared or not, which therefore messed up the whole equation.
Inward examinations of Consciousness suggests another C might help with the fundamental question of Energy and Matter equivalence ... Consciousness itself! This idea, supported by ancient sages from various traditions through the ages, means YOU dear humble reader(s), are part of the game, though not separate, just a fragment of the whole. You could call that G if you like and many have and still do ... but G is not essential in the new, enhanced equation proposed by an unscientific old bloke and certainly many others: E=mc ...not necessarily squared and standing for Universal Consciouness.
Which is weird and in need of questioning rigourously by smarter and wiser folks ... younger ones too, since the old joke that science progresses death by death also has a kernel of truth ...
Hey ho, on we go, round and round the merry go round, enjoying life, looking forward to a Dawn walk high on the Fell, a nearly full moon in a mostly clear sky on the almost Eve of the New Year in most time bound traditions, but not all ...
