Few sciences have integrated their knowledge, because it is too vast
and difficult to do, but new sciences are emerging called "complex
science" or "the science of complexity". This rise in "integration" is
the beginning of changes for all of us and it can affect our lives in
many ways. Through Integration--All Knowledge Is Valuable!
We just need to know how
to use it!

If we view health from the world or Science of Complexity, Physics,
BioPhysics, Biology, Psychology, Biofeedback, The Chinese Model of
Medicine, Homeopathy, Nutrition, Cybernetics, Systems Theory, and
Holistic Health can ALL BE combined into One Philosophy!
With our new understanding, we can then see health and health choices
differently. We will see the world differently. We will better learn to
adapt to our environment. It has been said that the knowledge of the
world is on little cards, lying about on everyone's desks--each person
holds one small bit of information and if all of the knowledge could be
in one place, we would be better off! This statement holds true power!
The Science of Complexity is determined to glean the knowledge from all
sources and integrate them into one single philosophy or science or
understanding. Until that happens (Total Integration) we have to be
satisfied with bits and pieces, and doing the best that we can, but we
are not alone; if we are willing to "connect the dots" as best we can.
In some cases science can't prove itself. In many cases philosophy can.
It is important to relax any judgments until the jury is in, and the final verdict is reached, but for now, until that time, join us on a
journey of discovery of what might be! Lets examine what some of the
Sciences (both East and West) have to say about health and wellness.
The world of physics has opened up many new understandings regarding
the nature of the universe and our bodies, and in time we will come to
understand the power of the human cell, the DNA, and the nature of
life. Until then, we have to be satisfied with small glimpses into the
nature of life and of mankind and be satisfied with with small traces
or insights of the overall magnificence of the human organism; seen as
only small pieces of the puzzle. The wonder and awe of our world is
unfolding before our eyes and many scientists from different areas of
study, have been bringing out deep insights for us to learn and
understand about this beautiful journey called life.
Modern physicsts that have been studying the body for years have
concluded that the bioenergy fields which are part of the body not only
influence our overall wellbeing, but that these bioenergy fields can be
measured and studied. Noted scientists in various fields of study have
provided incredible understanding about the the nature of life.
Quantum physicists say many things that sound very strange, yet, what
they have discovered has been proven beyond exhaustability, and they
are just waiting for us to catch up to their understandings. Some of
which, came from physicists that lived over 100 years ago! Why is this
vauable? Because it is time to see life in a way that opens up the
possibilities to what is actually happening in the world around us!
Lets explore some of the things that these scientists have discovered.
Also, bare in mind that these principles have been proven beyond
redundancy; mankind is not fully able to fully take advantage of these
insights except to use only the smallest amount of the knowledge
available, and still at huge value to the overall benefit of mankind.
Functional science is lagging incredibly behind the science of quantum
physics.
The more that physicists study the particles that make up life, the
more these scientists begin to sound like philosophers of Eastern
thought! The basis of many of the building blocks of matter have been
proven to be the antheisis of what was first believed. These "elements"
are counter intuitive to our experiences in life. In fact, many of
these element only appear if we notice them. For example, if you make a
fist and then hit the surface of a table, your hand would stop suddenly
at the surface, and if you hit it hard enough, your hand could bruise.
The surface of the table, according to physicsts, is more space than
matter. In fact they would say that there is no hard surface on the
table until your hand hits it! They would say that the molecules all
united there at that moment solely for your experience! How can this
be?
He discovered that all energy moves in "packets." Based on his
extensive research in the transfer of heat and entropic energy in
theoretical research into the radiation and absorption of heat/light by
a black body, Max Planck found that energy is delivered in "pre-set
amounts." These he called quanta.
"An important scientific innovation rarely makes
its way by gradually winning over and converting its opponents: it
rarely happens that Saul becomes Paul. What does
happen is that its
opponents gradually die out, and that the growing generation is
familiarised with the ideas from the beginning." Max Planck Autobiography (New York 1949).
According to classical physics, the electrons orbiting the nucleus
should lose energy until they spiral down into the center, collapsing
the atom. Bohr proposed adding to the model the new idea of quanta put
forth by Max Plank(quanta). That way, electrons existed at set levels
of energy, that is, at fixed distances from the nucleus. If the atom
absorbed energy, the electron jumped to a level further from the
nucleus; if it radiated energy, it fell to a level closer to the
nucleus. His model was a huge leap forward in making theory fit the
experimental evidence that other physicists had found over the years. A
few inaccuracies remained to be ironed out by others over the next few
years, but his essential idea was proved correct. He received the Nobel
Prize for this work in 1922, and it's what he's most famous for. But he
was only 37 at the time, and he didn't stop there. Among other things,
he put forth the theory of the nucleus as a liquid drop, and the idea
of "complementarity" -- that things may have a dual nature (as the
electron is both particle and wave) but we can only experience one
aspect at a time.
"Natural science does not simply describe and
explain nature; it is part of the interplay between nature and
ourselves; it describes nature as exposed to our method of
questioning." Neils Bohr.
In 1926 Heisenberg joined Bohr at the Institute for Theoretical Physics
in Copenhagen. This turned out to be one of the most productive periods
in Heisenberg's life. In 1927 he was puzzling over the basic quantum
properties of electrons. He realized that the act of measuring an
electron's properties by hitting it with gamma rays would alter the
electron's behavior. Indeed, you could measure the position of an
electron (or other particle) OR you could measure its momentum. But the
more precisely you measure one property, the more you throw the other
off. He tied this up in an equation using Planck's constant, and called
it the uncertainty principle. While many resisted this idea, it
eventually became accepted as a fundamental law of nature.
"Quantum theory provides us with a striking
illustration of the fact that we can fully understand a connection
though we can only speak of it in images and parables." Physics and Beyond (New York 1971)
"We will have to abandon the philosophy of
Democritus and the concept of elementary particles. We should accept
instead the concept of elementary symmetries." Quoted in E Maor, To infinity and beyond (Princeton 1991)
"The physicist may be satisfied when he has the
mathematical scheme and knows how to use for the interpretation of the
experiments. But he has to speak about his results also to
non-physicists who will not be satisfied unless some explanation is
given in plain language. Even for the physicist the description in
plain language will be the criterion of the degree of understanding
that has been reached." Physics and Philosophy
"...the smallest units of matter are not physical
objects in the ordinary sense; they are forms, ideas which can be
expressed unambiguously only in mathematical language." Werner Heisenburg
Einstein used the very recent ideas of
Max Planck
to explain the phenomenon of light and energy transfer. the
photoelectric effect, or the release of electrons from metal when light
shines on it; that is, he explained it in terms of quanta, or packets
of energy. This was the first use of the theory outside of Planck's own
work.
Einstein received the Nobel Prize in physics for this paper. He
published three significant papers but the last and perhaps most
famous, was his
special theory of relativity.
This resulted in the shocking conclusion that time
is not constant. Neither is weight or mass. When moving at high speeds,
all of these things get compressed; only the speed of light remains the
same. That happens because, said Einstein, energy is equal to mass times the speed of light squared, or E = mc2.
The ninety-ninth element in the periodic table was discovered shortly
after Einstein's death in 1955, and it was named "einsteinium."
