181. The Dilemma Facing Science
     How the universe was created and what science must overcome to make the observation.  
     http://www.summum.us/philosophy/dilemma.shtml
     
     Extractions: W hat we currently perceive to be the laws of nature allows us to follow the evolution of the universe back to its beginning, a moment some 10 to 20 billion years ago when the universe was infinitely hot and dense. However, our understanding of this moment is incomplete, for we question the applicability of these laws at extreme temperature and density. Since we cannot describe that initial condition, we cannot be certain such a moment even existed. At present, science can only describe the initial conditions of the universe at a time one trillionth of a second following the moment of infinite temperature, a point when the universe first began to expand. The observations we make have yet to allow us a look past the moment at which the expansion began. "All physical theories... ought to lend themselves to so simple a description that even a child could understand them." Albert Einstein Science attempts to explain anything we observe in terms of scientific principles that are in turn explained by deeper principles. Following this chain of explanations, we are led to laws of nature that cannot be explained within the boundaries of contemporary science. If science is to fully explain that which it seeks to explain, then the boundaries of science must change. If it does not, science, even at its best, will always remain incomplete. Although current science does not understand the cause behind the creation of the universe, one thing is for certain. Whatever that cause is, its ESSENCE must underlie all phenomena of the universe. This statement needs no argument. It is self-evident. Since that is the case, then it is up to us to take the steps necessary in becoming conscious enough to observe that essence.

182. Science And Human Values - Pre-Socratic Philosophers
     Rochester Institute of Technology. science and Human Values. PreSocratic Philosophers. Perhaps the legend only signifies that he was educated in Eastern science.  
     http://www.rit.edu/~flwstv/presocratic.html
     
     Extractions: Rationalism, for what ever its value, appears to have emerged from mythology with the Greeks. In engaging in this intellectual exercise, the Greeks assumed, of course, that nature would play fair; that, if attacked in the proper manner, it would yield its secrets and would not change position or attitude in midplay. Over two thousand years later, Albert Einstein expressed this feeling when he said, "God may be subtle, but He is not malicious." There was also the feeling that the natural laws, when found, would be comprehensible. This Greek optimism has never entirely left the human race. With confidence in the fair play of nature, human beings needed to work out an orderly system for learning how to determine the underlying laws from the observed data. To progress from one point to another by established rules of argument is to use "reason." A reasoner may use "intuition" to guide the search for answers, but must rely on sound logic to test particular theories. To take a simple example: if brandy and water, whiskey and water, vodka and water, and rum and water are all intoxicating beverages, one may jump to the conclusion that the intoxicating factor must be the ingredient these drinks hold in common namely, water. There is something wrong with this reasoning, but the fault in the logic is not immediately obvious, and in more subtle cases, the error may be hard indeed to discover.

     Extractions: Fax: +47 7359 4466 The Department of Computer and Information Science is one of seven departments at the Faculty of Information Technology, Mathematics and Electrical Engineering , NTNU. The department is located at the Gløshaugen campus in Trondheim, Norway . Although modest in size (appr. 150,000 inhabitants), Trondheim is nevertheless found in Wired Magazine's review of the world's hottest spots of the global high tech network. The department offers a broad selection of courses, covering most areas of computer and information science. Currently, the department employs appr. 120 faculty members, administrative and technical staff, visiting researchers and doctoral fellows, of whom 33 are full, associate or assistant professors in permanent positions. As our pages are written primarily in Norwegian, chances are that you will miss some information after having searched our English pages.

186. State Of The World: An Imaginary Dialogue Amongst Several Real Critics Of Scienc
     An excerpt from the transcript of the (imaginary, but based on real quotations) proceedings of the advisory committee on ecological catastrophe, charged with producing three policy recommendations.  
     http://home.columbus.rr.com/sciences/state_of_world.html
     
     Extractions: Nota Bene: The following is an excerpt from the transcript of the imaginary proceedings (see Method below) of The Advisory Committee On Ecological Catastrophe, charged with producing three policy recommendations. Members of the committee are Gary Kamiya, Sean Scheiderer, Mira Shiva, Vandana Shiva, Alistair Smith, and Shiv Visvanathan. SS: The destruction of the rain forests is one of the most serious and notorious of the world's environmental problems. The forests of Brazil, Indonesia, and Zaire have already been reduced to half of their original size. One hundred acres of rainforest are destroyed every minute. Fifty species are being driven into extinction every day. Future medicines and crossbreeds are tragically being lost forever. (Kamiya, 18-19) GK: Loss itself is the greatest tragedy. Extinction cannot be quantified. It is difficult to imagine a greater sin than extinguishing the unknown. (19) SS: Then why is it happening? Why are we letting our planet be mutilated?
