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.

About Me

My photo
Glenn Borchardt
I have over 60 years of theoretical, experimental, and observational experience as a scientist especially interested in scientific philosophy. Although I have produced over 500 scientific reports, including journal articles, chapters, books, consulting reports, and computer programs, the best by far is my book, "The Scientific Worldview: Beyond Newton and Einstein." It introduced univironmental determinism as the universal mechanism of evolution and the proper basis for scientific philosophy. It challenges the current, wildly popular, though absurd claim that the universe is finite and that it exploded out of nothing. This theme was developed in detail in my recent book, "Infinite Universe Theory." Both books are completely logical from beginning to end in support of infinite universe theory as a replacement for the Big Bang Theory. The switch from the assumption of finity to the assumption infinity will result in the Last Cosmological Revolution.
