Science as database management
Published by admin January 5th, 2007 in Science, Authority, Physics, Doctors, Citizen Science, Freedom of ScienceAn experiment is a contract made with nature. If nature agrees to your proposed language nature reveals some new knowledge to you by pointing out your error.
Like in any contract both parties must speak the same language. Without a standard language there is no communication.
The word nature itself is an abstraction. Scientific perception of nature consists of a database. A database is a projection of nature on a data platform.
And just like in a contract there is a higher authority agreed upon by both parties which would evaluate the validity of the contract.
Doctors of Physics claim that this authority is nature.
Doctors say that what they do is ultimately judged by nature. If nature does not agree on their work, then doctors say, they will discard their theory. That doctors will lie to you is a law of nature as true as any law created by doctors. So if doctors tell you that they will discard a theory they invented you know this is a lie. There has not been a theory ever discarded in the entire history of scholasticism. Doctors change the name of the theory and recycle it. Saving the phenomena becomes phenomenology, geometric epicycles are relabeled Fourier transforms, ether comes back with vengeance as vacuum, cosmological constant is recycled every cosmological season, the good old anthropocentricism becomes anthropic principle, old vortices become new spacetimes and so on and on. I don’t want to expose you to any more elegance of physics. Obviously, physicists are the most virulent strain of Doctors of polemical sophistry praying on human reason since the beginning of history. And they say nature is their ultimate authority.
Nature is an abstraction. We only perceive particulars of what is called nature. And this set of particulars is called a database.
Doctors claim utter vacuosities such as “String Theory predicts 11 dimensions…” How can a meaningless word made predictions? A theory in Doctors’ lingo is a database which exists in a useless alpha version. This database will some day hopefully god willing spacetimes permitting be compared to a natural database in some universe defined by doctors.
But there is another subtlety. Doctors’ speculative database is not presented as a tabular database. No. Doctors express quantities which change as placeholders. So you have a column which says “meters per second.” An honest database administrator would populate this column with measured numbers. These numbers will be measurements of length in the unit of meters. But physicists label this column “velocity = v” and use v as an independent placeholder. This method is not as rigorous as the tabular database form. The placeholder format is open to abuse and that’s why Doctors prefer it.
Speculation I: Any given database expressed in placeholder format can be translated into tabular format.
This system of manipulating placeholders Doctors call derivation or doing physics. Doctors call moving around placeholders doing physics. Doing physics therefore, is doing database management with both hands tied hung upside down while whirling inside a blackhole. No wonder Doctors’ database look so ugly and it never works.
Another trick Doctors use is to mix different type of data. As I wrote before Newton made mixing different data in a database legal in physics. Newton legalized the absurd. Following his master Newton a Doctor will not hesitate to put text in a number column. As long as it is legal Doctors will do it no matter how absurd it is. Since the placeholder format allows references to outside authorities it is not easy to see how doctors mix numbers with text. So if you translate physics code all written in placeholder language into proper database language you would get an immense mess with numbers and text mixed. In the placeholder system when a Doctor does not like a number field he will just make a reference to an outside principle such as cosmological constant which will fill in the gap. A principle is text in a number field. If you are a bit familiar how doctors work you would not be surprised to learn that doctors call sophistical principles they define constants of nature.
This argument exposes Doctors’ oldest lie that nature is the ultimate authority in what they do. Doctors themselves are the ultimate authority. Nature is a meaningless word Doctors use as a false witness to perpetuate their centuries old Scholastic hoax.
Regular folks have perceived that professional classes in any other fields, medical doctors, politicians, the military, bankers, theological doctors, and lawyers prey on their constituency, the regular folks, to fatten themselves. Soon Doctors of Philosophy aka physicists will be recognized as the most malicious professionals because they have the monopoly to corrupt the natural language we speak every day and alter our perception of the world. Dear reader, if you perceive this connection please support the freedom of science in order to remove Doctors’ scientific authority and transfer it to us, rational folks.
As corruptor of languages doctors also defined nature = physics. So this allows them to obtain real money for doing what they call “physical science” in order to perpetuate their Newtonian religion.
Wow. Thanks for blowing the lid off this caper. And yet . . . . And, yet . . . .
What have we besides language (incl. math) to conceptualize and communicate our understandings? Would you be at peace with the evil physicists if they included the word “tentative” in every theory and hypothesis?
That probably seems like a smartass comment, but I really like what you’re doing here. A really fresh approach. Great. Great, great stuff.
Thanks for your comment. You a have a very interesting site.
Someone else made a similar comment about “evil physicists.” I believe that what I am writing is not reading the way I intended it.
I don’t believe physicists are evil. I believe that all humans are human. I am against the unhuman deities. I am against the institution of scholasticism. If you have any suggestions to help me clarify this point, I would appreciate that.
But your quote “rescuing science from the religious know-nothings and religion from the scientific know-it-alls” make sense to me. From my point of view, “scientific know-it-alls” are the Doctors of Philosophy. “Religious know-nothings” are Doctors of Theology. The profession is the same profession. They are both Scholastic Doctors. That’s why both Doctors fight to save the souls of (and to sell books to) the same group of people. If you read for instance a “physics site” such as Cosmic Variance every other post is about religion. And both species of Doctors cooperate with the Big Media to push their doctrines as the true doctrine.
I am not that interested in the content of organized religion because I believe religion to be a marketing and branding phenomena. Ditto for Newtonism.
Thanks again for your comment.
