islands flying purpose
Today's preoccupation with physical theories of everything takes a wrong turn from the purpose of science - to question all things relentlessly. Modern physics has become like Swift's kingdom of Laputa, flying absurdly on an island above the earth and indifferent to what is beneath.
reality thinking space
I think the answer of course is that space and time are not these hard external objects. Again we're, scientists have been building from one side of nature (physics) without considering the other side (life in consciousness). Neither side exists without the other. They cannot be divorced from one another or else there is no reality.
growing-up technology cells
In fact when you combine stem cell technology with the technology known as tissue engineering you can actually grow up entire organs, so as you suggest that sometime in the future you get in an auto accident and lose your kidney, we'd simply take a few skin cells and grow you up a new kidney. In fact this has already been done.
views law space
So for instance it becomes clear why space and time and even the properties of matter itself depend on the observer in consciousness. In fact when you take this point of view it even explains why the laws of the universe themselves are fine tuned for the existence of life.
different physics range
Physics tells us observations can't be predicted absolutely. Rather, there's a range of possible observations each with a different probability.
mind together granted
We take for granted how our mind puts everything together.
cancer alzheimers disease
Our intention is not to create cloned human beings, but rather to make lifesaving therapies for a wide range of human disease conditions, including diabetes, strokes, cancer, AIDS, and neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease.
scientific
Without any scientific data, one has to be very, very skeptical.
damage
Unfortunately, the damage Hwang did can't be undone.
damage die future games held people played research rock thousands traveled undone
Unfortunately, the damage Hwang did can't be undone. It can't be undone for us, and it can't be undone for the thousands of people who may die in the future because this research has been unnecessarily held up while (Hwang) played his games and traveled around the world like a rock star.
concrete far humans realize relative religion science supreme
Perhaps, if science is clever enough to see, it will realize that religion may not be too far off with its concrete imagery; and that relative to the supreme creator, we humans are much like the microorganisms we scrutinize under the microscope.
understanding
Our instinctual understanding of reality is the same as most other animals.
adapted blood complex feeding flea incredibly sum tiniest
We are more than the sum of our biochemical functions. Even the tiniest flea is an incredibly complex living creature, with mouth-parts adapted to feeding on the blood of your cat or dog.
bombarded children competing depending discuss generally individual nature says school
As children we were bombarded by competing answers. Church says one thing, school another. Now as adults it's no surprise that if we discuss the nature of it all, we generally spout some combination of the two, depending on our individual inclination and mood.
