Experimental thought: Thoughtful Experiment LO25513

Hi. Its Joy Vatsyayann here. Howde folks!

Not writing in particular to any discussion chain but adding an
observation from threads every now and then.

I see that a lot of chemsitry and physics is used in a lot of the cases
and theories present.

But really - can everything be scientifically explained in life? Has life
really reduced to a tame, monitored event within the restrictions and
parameters of an experimental environment with limits and boundaries. Is
it just as easy as mixing water with some great chemical? Or is there
another dimension as it were to what existence is all about?

The whole time we spend thinking systemically and talking about synergy as
a 'higher'form of 'theory' and 'product' created and born of a process of
coming together of human elements - when we keep going back to the test
tube to explain our lives away.

Is it just me or is it really that obvious that those of us who have
'science' backgrounds find it hard to look outside the pond just like all
british decendents find comfort in finding a word in the Oxford (in pommy
accent) Dictionary????

Don't get me wrong. I have a solid science background too and am a science
worshiper (can we open up a religion like that or does it already exist as
an underground movement i wonder?) but I think one thing that science
teaches all is to use ones own kaboodle..or doesnt it anymore? (maybe i
went to real obsolete school?) That would mean when inventing new things
and finding meaning to things unexplained, one should try and use what is
naturally available and understood and familiar to oneself.

Is explaining the reason why i cry through a mathematical and/or physics
equilibirum really necessary? It can be done but is it necessary. Remember
the usefulness of theory is determined by its purpose. If the only purpose
it solves is one human showing their superiority from the ability to
indimidate on the basis of extenisve and drowning equational dialogue -
one has to hault and wonder what is being achieved that is of meaning to
all in terms of learning. After all that is what we are all here for
aren't we?

Science is yet another tool to understand what is around and within us but
not the ONLY tool. The Universe and what is will always be superset and
science a subset. You know why? Because science is nothing but an
extrapolation of human thought and resolution of the information and
signals it embibes from around it. Thus it is fundamentally flawed like
the thought transcribed into communication (from another string i replied
to recently on communication and language).

Science is NOT what is out there and around us but our interpretation of
it and hence only defined within the parameters of our limitations. One
cannot try to seek the truth by using a tool that is limited by our
thought in itself. Its a catch 22 otherwise - we are trying to understand
our thought better by using a tool born of our thought. intewestin (as
roger wabbit would say).

Ok. i end this here as i know many will pounce upon these like pumas on a
hunt. Beware Joy! he he me a vewy vewy wassicilly wabbit we is!

What did i have for lunch i wonder. somethings obviously ruffled my guts
:)

Forgive me for being so forward and nonsensical. But hey I am not alone!
Acceptance is step one to learning aint it?
