"Will anyone reading th...Excellent post, Ken.<br /><br />"Will anyone reading this blog live to see even a comparable level of understanding in biology to what we have in physics?"<br /><br />I suppose *no* because I suppose that all chemistry and biology derive or emerge from the fundamental forces of physics, so I expect that biological life is more complex than most topics in physics.<br /><br />Also, I do some philosophy of science and would reject the existence of dark matter if a minor alteration of our understanding of gravity would consistently interpret all known phenomena, but I lack the mathematical background to analyze the respective models. I also suppose with many that dark energy and vacuum energy are one and the same while we do not know much else about vacuum energy.<br /><br />We also have yet to detect the cause of gravity. Mathematical speculation indicates that gravity has something to do with the curvature of spacetime while consistent string theories and M-theory support the existence of gravitons, but we still do not directly observe the cause of gravity, which makes gravity theoretical science instead of proper science.<br /><br />Peace,<br />JimJames Goetzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02412501436355228925noreply@blogger.com
