"A scientific theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world, based on a body of facts that have been repeatedly confirmed through observation and experiment." Just wondering if it has moved beyond an idea, and if so, the work to support it.

Actually, there is significant scientific research within the cognitive science discipline concerning whether thought (or more broadly, consciousness) is simply an emergent property of certain combinations of matter, energy and associated physical, chemical and biological processes. Non-dualistic and quasi-reductionist in nature, and still tied somewhat to its philosophical underpinnings, it is a relatively young area of research, and still has a long way to go.

Just as an FYI, there are some large forums focused on science worth checking out for anyone interested in getting a robust sampling of scientific opinions. For example check out these.

Here is one thought about the universe
BTW for you performers that do covers and play for other people, this one is always a big hit.

Two examples: 1) I choose (through thought) to learn to play a certain song on my guitar. Through actions and events, I learn the song and play it. That song, with its certain melody, harmony, rhythm and other attributes, and the underlying matter and energy manipulations, is manifested in the physical universe from my thought and action. 2) I am able to manifest/form/create new energy or matter from my thought (not the energy or matter from which the thought arose, if any). Again, this occurs in the physical universe. Either set of events would be empirically testable, at least in theory, and are thus subject to scientific inquiry. Do emergent properties include attendant emergent capabilities? Last edited by sdelsolray; 07-08-2018 at 04:16 PM. |

I think that's what makes science so fascinating. Scientists are undeterred by the seemingly unknowable... gives them something to ponder and research.

Back to the OP: what I find amazing about the universe's existence is the mathematical nature of it. In particular, the absolute need for all of these forces to be at just the right level and balance for our universe to exist.
Take that for what it's worth. Which came first: the chicken or egg?

There are a lot of great books on physics. If you want an excellent explanation on the creation of the universe get Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson's books "Astrophysics For People In A Hurry" and then read "Welcome To The Universe". Dr. Tyson is really the closest thing to a rock star in modern science. If you have a true interest in the creation of the universe, these books should get you hooked on Dr. Tyson and his down-to-earth explanations of scientific concepts. Afterwards you can certainly move on to quantum theory from a more scientific/mathematic approach if you like.
