The Mind of the Scientist
The Need to Calibrate the Fundamental Tool of Science
p. 111-130
Résumé
The mind of the scientist is the prime tool in scientific research. It is however rarely calibrated, which suggests that there is no reliable foundation for the study of science. Individually, scientists learn to use their mind, but only indirectly and incompletely; as conditioned by their education. Few study their mind on its own; thus few make use of its full potential. From the body we can see that life is based in the integration of information and matter. This call for an understanding of physics based on phasics (phase information. The invariance that is sought for in science is not based on matter, but on the phase field by which it is formed. Understanding the mind brings us closest to how this takes place; our body is our best example. This suggests some fundamental new possibilities for science, by not basing it on an erroneous idea of 'objectivity' and 'invariance', but on subjective personal experience of uniqueness in/and creation.
