Good morning all is it not a wonderful day
.
I have been told in another forum that in physics we dont necessarily need to know why
... mmm I say we need more why and why not.. thats the role of the crack pot and the futurist
.
History tells me that humans have a tendancy to resist change generaly so any accepted theory will be held onto until there is no hope left for it. New theories are made to fit the exsisting theory not the other way around (even simply to run it by)
At a Xmas party of conveyancing lawyers as a young clerk at the coal face I made the observation that there were many areas in the conveyancing system that could be streamlined and thereby reducing costs that could be passed on to the client. Did they all gather around to hear how it could be done? No strangely
... in those days one needed to make 6 "enquiries "of Government Departments as to the possibility they may require all or part of the property being purchased... I think today that number is up to 30...The empire grows
... The fact is the Torrens title system (Real Property Act) provides a system taken by Mr Torrens of South Australia from the system of registering large ships. It was a world first..the best system in the world to date. (The previous system required all documents relating to the property from the year dot had to be checked each time the property changed hands..in case the lawyer who did the job 60 years ago missed something that has not come up in sixty years
)
There is a central register under the Torrens system where one copy of the title is kept and a copy of the title is held by the owner or Mortgagee. Under such a system why is it necessary to "enquire" which Department may need the property for a school or a highway..Any requirements could be simply noted on the title (as is the case for a moprtgage, easement, covenant, lease over 3 years and other items) saving the need for any direct enquirey to the department... well the only reason why not is that the empire size will be reduced therefore it is not done that way. The irony is Torrens "invented" the system to remove these silly duplications. The empire however rocked from not being able to read and re read documents of ancient kind but nevertheless managed to complicate things enough to keep the empire mostly the same as it was before..same time to do the job we will just find other stuff to worry people with.
In the world of physics things should move slower still (for safty) however I suspect a similar condition exists in that world in fact such a condition exsists wherever there are humans engaged in an "empire".
However history also tells us that many excepted traditions beliefs systems and theory fianlly fall to the pressure of a better approach.
I sence the scientists of today feel very sophisticated to the point where that history could only happen in "the olden" days and they fail to appreciate there is nothing special about their time in history that insulates them from a major change in thinking...was that not the situation when Relatively entered the room?
My preoccupation with gravity leads me to believe that although the space time theory explains and observes results it does nothing to explain the nuts and bolts of any interaction... this is the job of quantum mechanics.. firstly why do we need a separation.. why has the inconsitencies between quatum and relativity been left open..is that two empires competing for their realm to stand over the other.. to me it is unacceptable (personaly ..does not mean the world must change to suit my dictates of reason) and that is why I am driven the way I am. Not for fame and fortune either ..fame and fortune is a backward step for me..I took years escaping from those masters and have no intentions of ever going back...not even for a book signing or to appear on Rove live
.
However few enjoy the motivations I do and are not able to rock the boat.
If you dont join the empire you are on the outside and therfore a nutter.
I may have different ideas but I believe I am not swayed by fantacy or illussion, nor by pressure to accept the accepted without question...
Its a big job and I am happy to do it for my own reasons which is ..I want answers that are not clouded in mystery and ideas that can be proved conclusively ..if not I dont use them other than to talk with other humans.
