Science is a constant process of simplification - split from counterargument against creationist

[Mike Smith Cosmos]

Agreed.

And, of course, science starts with wonder and with observation. The important (vital) point though, is that it doesn't stop there...

Yes but could it be that we can keep the two strands going in parallel ( like the human brain , right and left brain , creative and pragmatic.

 

( 1 ) Wonder, observation , and an aesthetic artistic interpretation

( 2 ) A robust , mathematical , analysis , prediction , experiment . Interpretation .

 

In so doing may we not get a more complete , meaningful insight into reality , rather than just having (1). Or ( 2) .

 

----------

 

Take for example :- The very ,very early universe , when supposed the four forces were contained in one super force . Very simple , very compact. ( GUT ) General Unified Theory .

 

SIMPLE . Super symmetrical . rotational invariance . Reality .

Symmetry breaks somehow ! gravity force breaks, strong force breaks, electro-weak force, on into the weak force, and the electro- magnetic force. All now experiencing gauge forces between the various splits. Invariance is gone , and we have the universe today with all its complex set up.

 

So science is trying to swim upstream from the complex universe we find ourself in , back up to that .. Simple super symmetric start.

 

I am suggesting we may need that other feature ( 1) Wonder, observation , and an aesthetic artistic interpretation, to make the journey upstream . In other words we may need to take account of things , like beauty, feelings , consciousness, appearance ( form as well as function) , and other aesthetic attributes , so as to understand the TOTAL - SIMPLE - PICTURE

 

 

Now, the bumblebee and the butterfly uses symmetry while liking symmetry thus liking aesthetically ,pretty flowers , . The universe liked simple super symmetry to start off with . She , the universe broke symmetry to produce the four forces , necessary for the complex world we have today.

 

The ladies like the butterfly , love flowers . And the men who give them flowers. They arrange them in a vase with broken symmetry usually ( flower arranging) . They ( the ladies ) like to arrange their face , aesthetically , beautifully , symmetrically . The men , similar to the bumblebee and the butterfly , are drawn to the pretty face . Even more so if the symmetry is broken , like the lady here illustrated. ( with the quiff of hair to the right , covering one ear and discretely showing the other, together with a subtle yet attractive ear ring )!

 

Thus the universe needs symmetry aesthetic beauty , form as well as function, together with the breaking of symmetry and our understanding is interwoven with both (1) and (2) for our total aspects to understanding of the simple universe.

Ps . Credit and courtesy due to the lady ,illustrated above , who gave her image as an example of how the universe started , and functions with symmetry breaking . I am not sure who she is ? But she will go down in history as the one that illustrated , how the universe works !

Who would think , the answer to life the universe and everything is in a woman's face ?
