I do not agree with this statement:

The universe described by cosmology today is humanity’s first picture of the universe as a whole that might actually be true.

All cosmic mythologies appear true to believers. The statement that cosmic model described by cosmology is true can be written mathematically as follows:

O - C = zero

O = model
C = modeled

But this contradicts the authors’ statement that no one can get outside of the universe to model it.¹ So, all claims of true model of the universe are charlatanism.²

But the authors make an important observation:

Many of humanities most dangerous³ problems arise from our 17th century way of looking at the universe.

This is of course occult worldview designed by Newton.

This Newtonian picture is founded on physics that explains accurately the motions of a single star’s planetary entourage, but not the entire universe.

The language of the above quote reveals how entrenched Newtonism is in human psyche. Even writers who are enlightened enough to perceive that Newtonian occult design cannot express their criticism of Newtonism without using Newtonian language.

“Newtonian picture founded on physics…” reveals their inability to separate Newtonist mythology from history. But the fundamental idea that this sentence is trying to express is true:

There is nothing universal about Newtonian mechanics.

The word “universal” is akin to “everything” in the “theory of everything.” As everything else in physics the tradition of using unjustified reckless extrapolations as absolute truths was first invented by Newton.

As the authors correctly imply Newton took Kepler’s planetary rule and recklessly extrapolated it to the universe. Newton was a megalomaniacal world builder who wanted to establish a new religion.

Kepler’s rule is based on planetary observations. Newton associated his label force with Kepler’s rule and defined force to be universal. With hindsight we see that this is pre-scientific mythological process used by shamans to create mythological worlds. Previous mythological worlds did not work because they were not based on a working rule such as Kepler’s rule.

1. Newtonian mechanics is Kepler’s rule
2. Kepler’s rule is not universal.

In modern usage physics and nature are synonyms. This is Newtonian propaganda. But it is so well established that it is transparent. Only a few perceive it as propaganda. One important consequence of

physics = nature

is that it gives physicists the right to make any label used in physics to be true by definition. So if Newton defined force to be universal and this is legal in physics then physicists need no further justification that force is universal. People who are familiar with history have no difficulty identifying such a system as scholasticism. Only in scholasticism the authority of the founder is absolutely true. Only in scholasticism legal labels are marketed as observables.
