General Relativity started as a thought experiment. Quantum mechanics, quantum gravity, and string theory have successfully blurred the line between philosophy and science. Some of the ideas proposed by Hawkins (Black Holes), Whitten (M theory), & especially Brian Greene (author of The Elegant Universe) have crossed over.

Yes Einstein used the often scorned (in this forum especially), magical thinking. When I say magical thinking, think Unicorn believing children, A Childs wondrous mind, but with adult intellectual parameters. The sum that results ,will equal a way of thinking ,that transcends hard pure science and will give us flowers of intelligence unbound by western rigidity. Flowers bloom in the light. Only mushrooms and minor Fungus grows in darkness.

Western thought is subdued (beat down by the entrenched science community may be a better explanation) by captive thinking . This is thinking inside the box ,rather than outside the box where the universe lies.
Inside the box there is darkness and cormfiminty, outside the coffin…. er’ box…. there is the light, and free thought. Are you a fungus or a flower?…ahhhh‘… forgive me for my po’ poetry like deviation

This topic does blur the line between science and religious thought. As I’ve posted earlier, Science and religious thought will soon become one. I am of western religious belief with eastern principles. Yes ,this sounds like a paradox and a contradiction. I have yet to incorporate (at age 50) both systems into one fixed personal religious paradigm.

I need to stop prematurely …got to take bogie the basset hound and Katie the mutt out to pee…brb
