Dear DK,
Thank you for this reminder. Would you know what is the current ‘status’ on these experiments?
I could not find the ‘actuality report’ of findings so far.
As regards your insightful wondering: >>>“One wonders if the "God particle" discovery will reinforce "matter is an illusion", the realisation of Great Spiritual Masters!” <<<:
I was wondering if there could be another probability possible and admissible for consideration - “maybe, this discovery will reinforce ‘matter is indeed an ‘extension’”,
an illusion to some (nihilists) and not so to others (transformationists)”; this too was the realisation of some Great Spiritual Masters.
This was an opportunity for me to obtain enlightenment from you and friends here on this subject, which happens to be of great significance and interest to me; am hoping to receive some…
Love and regards to you and all,
Surendra
Dear DK, Buddy, Harb, Surendra, and others:
Reading through your online dialogue, I am reminded of max Planck’s following statement from his Where is Science Going?
“A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it.”
Also, Carlos Castaneda begins his last and (I think) best book The Active Side of Infinity with the following:
“Syntax
“A man staring at his equations said that the universe had a beginning. There had been an explosion, he said. A bang of bangs, and the universe was born. And it is expanding, he said. He had even calculated the length of its life: ten billion revolutions of the earth around the sun.
“The entire globe cheered; they found his calculations to be science. None thought that by proposing that the universe began, the man had merely mirrored the syntax of his mother tongue; a syntax which demands beginnings, like birth, and developments, like maturation, and ends, like death, as statements of facts.
“The universe began, and it is getting old, the man assured us, and it will die, like all things die, like he himself died after confirming mathematically the syntax of his mother tongue.
“The Other Syntax
“Did the universe really begin? Is the theory of the big bang true? These are not questions, though they sound like they are. Is the syntax that requires beginnings, developments and ends as statements of fact the only syntax that exists? That’s the real question.
“There are other syntaxes. There is one, for example, which demands that varieties of intensity be taken as facts. In that syntax nothing begins and nothing ends; thus birth is not a clean, clear-cut event, but a specific type of intensity, and so is maturation, and so is death.
“A man of that syntax, looking over his equations, finds that he has calculated enough varieties of intensity to say with authority that the universe never began and will never end, but that it has gone, and is going now, and will go through endless fluctuations of intensity.
“That man could very well conclude that the universe itself is the chariot of intensity and that one can board it to journey through changes without end. He will conclude all that, and much more, perhaps without ever realizing that he is merely confirming the syntax of his mother tongue.”
Thank you for the gift of your conversation,
