Thank you so very much for your analysis! I wholeheartedly agree.

That is to say, to maintain the mania of seeing Reality only in its parts, thus avoiding even trying to see things "whole", at their source and as they express or "evolve" as the reality in which we all live (and move and have our being).

It saddens me that we cannot keep even fundamental perspective in science. How rarely it is for someone speaking of the age of the universe, to actually finish the sentence, i.e. the universe is 15 billion years old from our space time coordinates. And yet that distinction makes all the difference - in science and philosophy.

We run into the same brick wall ("there be dragons there") whenever we discuss consciousness, Bell's inequalities, inception of the universe and life, and null.

Sure, there is a point beyond measure where the seeker has entered the metaphysical - but, Jeepers!, why stop at the 20 yard line?!

Indeed we do, but here's a physicist who isn't afraid to trod Forbidden Territory and he's no slouch with the math, either. Were it in my power, this book would be required reading in all the public high schools in the land. It is also, appropriately, a beautiful book.
