How Deep Does the Rabbit Hole Go?

Over at Dean’s World, Tim Machesney posts a short essay, written by Michael Levy, titled “The Bonding of Science and Spirituality." From Levy’s essay.

"FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS, religious dogma and tribal superstitions kept scientific thinkers in a locked box. Many outspoken scholars were executed because their scientific findings were looked upon as heresy. It is only in the past two hundred years that free academic study of science was allowed to flourish unhindered by ancient religious doctrines.

Once modern-style academic scientific studies were established, they rejected and ridiculed anything spiritual or metaphysical if it could not be proven by a mathematical formula. Even today, a few professors and scientists are closed-minded to anything that resembles spirituality. But things are changing at a very rapid pace. For just as religion had to succumb to scientific knowledge, science is beginning to unravel the mysteries of the universe with quantum physics; and scientists’ latest findings are stretching the field into the realms of metaphysical spirituality."

  1. The use of the word ‘spirituality’ creates a narrow focus on a broader subject which is my singularly most passionate intellectual interest; I refer to the widest scope as ‘convergence of physics and metaphysics’. It has also been written of as ‘the theory of everything’ or a ‘grand unified theory’, neither of which we have !

    As noted in the comments he has misstated string theory statements regarding the notion of 11 dimensions: “ What they have done is to say that there must be 11 dimensions, or else nothing they say makes much sense...” as a commenter notes.

    I think this is less an essay on bonding between science and spiritualty and more an attempt to put forth the “author’s wish that science was finding evidence of God” as another commenter said.
    Statements in which the author says “After all is said and done, there can only be one truth that explains the creation/ evolving of the universe ...”, and his reference to “intelligent vibrational energy” is again reminiscent of that discourse.

  2. Robert,

    I noticed the author’s wish, as the commentor and yourself noted, also.  Only time, spent delving into the matter, will possibly provide the answers being sought.
