The Scientific Worldview

This is a blog that takes the name of my magnum opus on scientific philosophy called "The Scientific Worldview." Reviewers have called it “revolutionary,” “exhilarating,” “magnificent,” “fascinating,” and even “a breathtaking synthesis of all understanding.” There is very little math in it, no religion, no politics, no psycho-babble, and no BS. It provides the first outline of the philosophical perspective that will develop during the last half of the Industrial-Social Revolution.

At 13.5 billion light years distant, this one tops all the others—until the Webb telescope finds some greater than the assumed 13.8 Ga age of the universe. Just think, only 300 million years to form a galaxy (or “black hole”) with a redshift indicating it is 13.5 billion light years away from us. Our own Milky Way supposedly is 13.61Ga. What the? I thought the Big Bang universe was supposed to get younger with distance. Go figure.
