what is science..the word..the system..your view

[xelasnave]

Thank you Bert.
We know so much but somehow so little.
Just considering a single cell there is just so much going imams as much as we know I suspect we know not that much.
You know my fascination with gravity
It lead to try and math out what I imagined at the basic level.
I considered what may pass a single point in the emptiest space ..a total vacuum for example with not a single atom of matter.
I was presented with geometrically infinite trajectories and a list of waves and or passing particles that made this focal point seemingly incapable of fitting all that would pass they that point..you can see why push gravity appealed.. But my point is not grab otto it is the complexity of even nothing could well be beyond us...And every point next to the one I consider enjoys it own wave or particle traffic jam as it were
Thanks again
Love your photography. I don't post and don't appear as logged in but I am here every day or second day keeping an eye on your work..and others and there aPpmercy ancestries

Last sentence..follow folks adventures

This quantum stuff is sooo cool. Exciting times.

My boss employed a theoretical chemist to look at the interactions of putative drug molecules and their target protein molecules. With vast computing power he was simulating the interaction of two simplified quantum surfaces over about three nanoseconds. This took two weeks of calculation even with assumptions to simplify the system. I am sure the computers a far faster now so he can simulate a microsecond?

We both agreed that the only quantum computer that behaved just like the molecules, was the molecules themselves!

Go with ID it's easier.... .mmm not very intelligent if it is that complicated
That finally why push gravity could not.gif past an idea.. How could you describe it..at a particle to particle.let alone trillions interacting in a box built of small phlanks.
Counting angels on a pin head is easy against your chemist experience

As a final sobering thought Alex. All of the complex chemical and physical interactions in your body that make you who you are were 'discovered' by three billion years of completely blind trial and error evolution by bacteria and their even simpler ancestors.

Whot I was not designed such that I could hold dominion over all the birds, animals and fishes.
The complexity gets me.
When you look as I have mentioned many times nothing is most complex.
A simple cell ..well there's a life time needed to have a probably limited knowledge

A major part of science is 'learning by doing' (both adaptive and Bayesian)

I also think about its principal goal as 'bounding or narrowing uncertainties' rather than seeking absolute truth.

The bacteria knew this a few billion years before you!
