And now back to my Blog. With all the traveling I have been doing, to meetings and such, it has been difficult to get back to even a weekly rhythm on the blog. So I decided to kick back and catch up on some reading. My favorite, of course, is Michio Kaku and his book on "Parallel Worlds". He is capable of making physics clear without the horrible mathematics that goes along with it usually. His basic approach is through 'string theory' but he discusses all the classical approaches as well.
Shifra Henndie in her blurb today quoted Einstein who said "the significant problems we have cannot be solved at the same level of thinking with which we created them". And the point is that Michio takes us to a level of thought higher than the questions we posed in the first place. Of course, Scientists are funny in that they steadfastly deny the existance of God but yet cannot tell us how the big bang came about. And for that matter, what was there before the big bang. But they are working on it.
That brought my mind around to belief. Belief requires proof to become knowledge. So we can now add another one of those instances where a concept can be expressed as a mathematical equation. Or, if you will, Knowledge = Belief + Proof. So then Belief = Knowledge - Proof. Wow.. this is similar to one that I discussed earlier in the year. That is... Attitude = Opinion + Experience. And I think you can see the similarities between these two equations so that an understanding of the terms is easy.. So Experience is like Proof, Opinion is like Belief and Attitude is like Knowledge. And that with a $1.29
will get you a cup of coffee and a donut of your choice.... I believe. I hope(golly is this another one?) that next week I can show you how this plays out diagrammatically and how it fits in with our old favorite..."The Secret".
