13 Puzzles

Recently, an article was posted in the times relaying the 13 most puzzling scientific conundrums of our time. With them we can see the biasness of modern cosmology affects every one of them. They are asking questions without knowing the circumstances and are unwilling to bend their theories from the "perfect principles" they laid out that the universe must be.

Nothing will ever change if you are not willing to change your theory.

The first one alone makes an Plasma Cosmologist simply laugh.

"We can only account for 4 per cent of the cosmos

If you’re wondering what the LHC might do for you, how’s this: it might just find a whole quarter of the universe."

Or

"Destabilising our view of the universe

A decade ago, we discovered that the fundamental constants of physics might not be so constant after all."

This is the problem: Gravity is the only force holding the universe together, and if we find variances, then we need to add matter to make up the difference. Matter we cannot see, but this Dark Matter MUST be there. This is, to a scientist, saying:

"The magician pulled a rabbit out of his hat, and the rabbit was not there before, so the magician can teleport matter with his mind."

Seriously.

The Revolution

Oftentimes politics and religion so not mix but we find ourselves at an interesting point in history where the truth of the science can change the truth of religion. Can religion survive the revolution intact?

This is important if faith is to continue we must have something to believe in. If you take the accumulation of what we have learned and place it squarely in front of all to see, then it is completely contrary to faith.

To explain how myth began, what it was and how it influenced our development for the last 500 years until just now, we have been able to decipher it. No special math, so secret science. Basic electrical science and a few descriptors and a layman can paint an objective history of the world.

To be honest it sounds like myth itself. Talking of the great movers in the sky. To know what the "River the circled the world" was, or to know what Kronos was, or Seth... They are all within our reach.

This is the crossing of the boundaries. The paradigm shift which one cannot go back from.

Will we hide in our ignorance in the cave of seclusion or will we greet our destiny with courage and intelligence?
