   [Watch this video](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fzg1CU8t9nw#t=2262) from minute 36.47 onward. How you ask a question in science determines if the experiment is right or wrong. We are missing this today in medicine; what we believe today is based upon experiments guys like Feynman asked, but even he knew today’s laws are subject to better ideas yet to come. That time has come in biology. Instead of narrowing our focus with the science we believe today, we should use it to broaden the part of our mind we know we don’t connect with. In this way, instead of denying things that don’t conform to o…

   They're not debating. They're just fizzing. They're not debating. It's just matter in motion. They're not debating. It's just a chemical reaction. Well, what does that mean if you're an atheist and you say that all that is, the cosmos, is just matter in motion. It's just it's just stuff moving around. It's this infinite billiard ball table with with the balls going in every direction. It's just this complex chemical reaction. Now, we are complex chemical reactions. I think Christian, according to Christopher, I think Christian thoughts because that's what these chemicals always do at this temp…

   I hope you enjoyed this random stroll. I hope this new idea for a blog stimulates you to think and ask better questions to improve your current condition. We all must become aware of what we might not know, because this is often where our truth lies. **The wonderful thing about science is it’s *alive*. **Religion is a culture of faith and belief, but science is a culture of doubt. When you understand this, you must ask better question to get Nature to show you her recipes.****

   There's reasons why things exist, reasons why things happen. And this was elevated to a principle called the principle of sufficient reason. The principle of sufficient reason is literally the bumper sticker you see that says everything happens for a reason. Okay, there's a technical way of saying it that linenets uh the guy on the right said Spinosa is in the middle. All three of these philosophers promagated this principle and the way that Linus put it was the sake for which something happens is the final cause. Sorry, the principle sufficient reason is nothing is without a ground or reason …

   Such an argument, in my opinion, is fallacious; and of course those who advance it do not put it so shortly or so crudely. But whether valid or not, the argument has been very widely advanced in one form or another; and very many philosophers, perhaps a majority, have held that there is nothing real except minds and their ideas. Such philosophers are called 'idealists'. When they come to explaining matter, they either say, like Berkeley, that matter is really nothing but a collection of ideas, or they say, like Leibniz (1646-1716), that what appears as matter is really a collection of more or …

   Um, well, it's a curious word you used there, which was explain. Ah, because Yes. Yeah. I I should take that back, right? Yes. You know, because the the right I mean, I don't think this was exactly Boore's attitude. The common attitude is calculate. Predict tell me what the numbers will be, and if the numbers are right, that's all I want. Absolutely. Boore was actually trying to make a much more profound argument which was that a certain sort of explanation which had been provided by classical physics was no longer available. Just could not could not be found. There wasn't that nature didn't p…

   That was the old dream, the clockwork dream. The universe is a perfect engine. If you knew the position and velocity of every particle, you could calculate the future like a spreadsheet. The future would be a page already written. Time would just be the mailman delivering it. That dream died in my hands. Not because I wanted to be dramatic, because the structure [music] of nature demanded it. When I finally expressed the uncertainty principle, it wasn't a slogan about measurement being hard. It was a statement about what can and cannot be said simultaneously with arbitrary precision. Certain p…

   So science is perfectly okay to not explain the what and the wise in terms of what things are and why they do what they do. That's not for science. Science is about what will happen next. What are we going to see next? That's what the method the science scientific method allows us to do. Um so it's legitimate that science doesn't say what things are. It doesn't need to. It it it can't and it's there is that's not what its value is all about. Its value is about predicting behavior. But materialism is not science. Materialism is a metaphysics and as such it is a statement about what things are. …

    How do we know that this isn't just pure mathematics? And that would take us into a wonderful conversation along the lines of the material that we just discussed. So yeah, I think he would warm to these ideas pretty quickly. Do you think we're sort of in the realm of philosophy here? One of the criticisms that I see of string theory as somebody who doesn't understand the first thing about it is that because of this lack of experimental data, you can say that in principle it could be tested. But there are all kinds of philosophical theories that in principle we could test. Ideas about personal …
