Searching for a safer better  life


 

Searching for the safer better life.
No Words------ Only Deeds!
Can hail the enormous contributions that  Tools, yes tools, and skilled people using them  have made in our  search for this safer better life. Yes there have been many successes but  the biggest ones happen  in spite of us.
Tools  Tools and more Tools maybe thousands of them but which ones and who should  we chose to run them in our search for this safer better life? What are  the biggest impediments that we have to overcome in this search for the better life?   Could we be among them?

Using Scientificscience*  in the search for the safer better life  without the need of understanding science. Can this be done?

  Yes it could and can be much easier than using the current process which has a success rate  less than 1 out of 5 by the simplest test*.

To understand the  process recommend for speeding up the search one has to get the lay of the land of all side of the effort. this is going to be tricky because we will be using a tool which is not designed for the job. in the end Nature rules

 Most  hurtles are built into the search for safer better life road. They are a permanent   fixtures in and about us
 
They are  simple,
 obvious,
but do not respond to the yes or no, black or '
white' answers
to the Issues
?

To start with,,,,,,  he  biggest  challenge in the search process starts with our 'wordologists / semanticsist'  who at times  must feel jaded while  trying to make the Search for  a Safer Better Life more better. Their life is not an easy one but really good ones maybe  really, really good ones will find their way and be able to decode the messages in this document and maybe just maybe 1 out of 6 billion will get ths safer better life from the recommended searching methods.

Even as we read this note most of the time may  be spent worrying about the authors spelling punctuation, grammar than  the content. If one is  working on this  premised conundrum rather than the search itself  and it must be done no  matter how much  the valuable  discoveries are delayed  during the  search.  Good luck best wishes.

The first, the simplest, the  most important, the biggest challenge,  the one causing  the biggest waste of time, yet the hardest to  recognize, and the hardest to guard  against , are the tools called definitions. Yes, Yes, 'Definitions'*.

This is easy to say ---------- but almost impossible to believe or do. 

Some simple examples   to help us to keep us focused on the problem with definitions and accuracy  getting into the way of the search.
 1, A little
white lie", what ever this means?  If it is truly white  then it is  truly composed of  millions and millions of colors. So instead one  should be  calling it a little colors lie, which when  blended together  make it, or them colors  white. To get at the truth it is  necessary to  sort the colors out   testing  their honest truth colors, the half truth colors plus any   mistake and normal color their errors from the sum of colored lies struggling the get the right white of the  lie so that it be small enough to be little enough to be a little white lie.

This  jumble of words, yes words, can pile up, and  if we let it, this part of the project  will block  the path in the search for a safer better life, at least  it will slow it down. We need a sorting tool, A word sorting and  defining tool from the wordologist.  Presumably they have been trying since the days of the city of Babel with only margin able success.

By comparison The scientificscience  scientist has tried a different aproach.

 Lets get back to the word white.  There is a analog sorting tool in the spectrum of scientificscience that might shed some light on the white ,white, problem. White, white, by natures rules or laws (what ever). is a rainbow of colors in the color region humans can see but also spreads on both sides of this rain bow to colors we cannot see.   on the red side we can feel but not see its  warmth. On the blue side we cant see it but can get a sun burn from it. The rest of the "colors" we don't 'see ,sea, c,' without specials instrument.

From this jumble of words no matter how one arranges them can one see just a glimmer of the different worlds we all live in one of just words the other with the tools words, plus, +, instruments to make physical measurement.  Biggest frustration  the world of  scientificscience is that it is a very foreign world to most and we suffer from its foreignness. But there is hope!

 

 

  It comes from  a few grains of sand, fashioned down  to  the form of a prism. In the hands of  a specialist  it can show a beautiful rainbow to sort out the truer truths from the mistakes, the lies, the conjectures  and errors about white light but it needs the  highest possible 'accuracy'.

 

 One does not need to know how this happens to make it happen.  It does  requires earned trust that it will happen in the search for a safer better life. The important tool to understand and use in  the world of wordology  is the word 'accurate' in  all of the searches for this  safer better life.
 

 

Introduction

The most important tool needed in the search for the better safer life is accurate communication especially among those affected by the discoveries in the search leading to this safer better life.

It may be hard to believe but the word  'accurate'  holds the golden key that opens  successful  search for that safer better life.
'Accurate'  is the flagship word  but it has a major man made hurdle to overcome  even  if we can get  some small help in the search. The hurdle is that the word 'accurate' first and foremost is a word. Yes a word.  Words have all kinds of human constructed problems associated with their uniqueness and their suitable accuracy in communications.  Ask a random number of people this  simple question,  "Is the word accurate accurate enough to be accurate?" Stand back and listen. The answers will speak for themselves. This is a technically legitimate question. Note, one of  the potential dangers in asking it is that one can find oneself trapped going around and around on this question and lose track of the original goal of  searching for a safer better life simply  because of semantics. Semantics, another word to be reckoned with, where does it stop? How does one even slow down the circular process?



Going around and around with semantics and getting no where except to become dizzy, tired and frustrated without finding a safer better life.

 

It sounds hopeless but it's not.  It can be trapping only if you let it.The basic fact is language will always reigns no matter how ambivalent, cumbersome, and arbitrary it may be.  No matter what, we  still love it. We work with it. We love our fiction, our texting, our showing off.  Our mighty constitution uses it. Some of it is even recorded by hand in stone or metal.  It  uses ink or any medium at our disposal - even planes for sky writing.  It's transmitted around the world and into outer space at the speed of light. It is coded and decoded. It is just plain nifty but dangerous. why?  The meaning of words can change depending on their usage, it is unregulated and can be and has often been used to distort reality!

The stair case figure of course is a man made illusion in construction and interpretation. It an example of  how one of our most important senses can be mislead. Our sense of 'sight'. But how many other sense are reporting to our brain miss leading information  to our brain because of the problem of mis-interpretation of   words describing what our sense are reporting. All of these issues are cluttering the path to the safer better life and need clearing out.
 


Another example of getting trapped. on a Möbius strip. See the figure below. The Mobius strip  is real what you see is what you get it has only one side and one edge to it.   It is also symbolic of peoples   path to solutions  based on the path one believes that they are taking  forming an opinion . When you travel down the center of the strip you may think you are seeing both sides of your trip and have a destination but in fact you will always travel forever the same route in circles only seeing one side with the same scenery over and over again never anything new.  Also you will beat a  track so deep you will never be able to get out of it to the other side.  So, there is a message somewhere along this journey in a search for a better life.  Be careful about what looks real or who you trust on your journey if you meet them on a Mobius
 road

.

Going around and around in a one sided path some times upside down some times right side up, wearing out a path so deep  one cannot see not out of the trench . Debates and arguments can get trapped in this wordology syndrome.

 

 

 

 

 


Some humans (people?) believe and forecast that the first and biggest impediment one faces in the search  for a better life is the lack of suitable accuracy and rigor inherent in a common language. This forecast angers many in the language business and  those who enjoy it as a hobby especially as a putdown tool. Maybe "enrages" is a more suitable word than "angers"?

Not convinced that the above is not just idle chet chat.? Read on about the size and complexity of the gold standard of the English language.

This is not an unsung problem with words in general but there is a tested solution, for the search for a better safer life which is used, but not enough to minimize the word problem. It requires little to no effort other than making your carefully informed opinions known. Effectively known.



Words in the technical world have to work extra hard at producing even a semblance of true success than they do in everyday use. This document is almost a perfect example of trying to get a simple but important messages engaged to help the search for a .better safer life. But how hard will it be. to do so?  A few examples are given below of the problem with words followed by a discussion tentative solutions to be tried to help the search for a safer better life.

First example1
Words have definitions. That can be looked up in dictionaries. As an example we have looked up the definition of the word accurate to see if we are using it accurately.

The goal is to show the complexity of dictionary definitions in just the English language. Notice the number of alternate words used in the definition


Definition follows
1, Accurate is an adjective
accurate information
CORRECT, precise, exact, right, errorless, error-free, without error, faultless, perfect, valid, specific, detailed, minute, explicit, clear-cut, word for word, unambiguous, meticulous, authoritative, reliable, canonical; Brit. informal spot on, bang on; N. Amer. informal on the money.

2, an accurate description
FACTUAL, fact-based, literal, correct, faithful, exact, close, true, truthful, veracious, true to life, telling it like it is, as it really happened, lifelike, authentic, realistic, fair; convincing, careful, word-perfect, strict, conscientious, punctilious, painstaking, thorough, scrupulous, rigorous; informal on the mark, on the beam, on the nail, on the button; Brit. informal spot on, bang on; rare verisimilar, veristic, veridical.
-opposite(s): INACCURATE, LOOSE.

3 an accurate shot
WELL AIMED, precise, on target, unerring, deadly, lethal, sure, true, on the mark, careful, meticulous, painstaking, precision; Brit. informal spot on, bang on.


Accuracy n. The quality of being accurate and without error:

Definition ends

So how accurate is the word accurate? How many word were used to define just one word ?Add to the English language all the other languages and you have a sizable amount data available show  to the magnitude of the problem facing the search for a better safer life!


(Seeing this, knowing this may not be sufficient enough to some who would suggest we should check that we know what we know to be sure that we know what we know for sure.) Some might think that the latter  sentence inside the brackets is ===== well just is?!? I   f so you’re on the right track. Read on.>>>>>>>


 

_________________________________________________________________________________________
2nd Example showing more of the magnitude of the word / language  problem.

Most taught,     most discussed,  most dynamic,   most manipulative,  most flexible,  most corruptible,   most dangerous,    is   our blessed      Language .   Language (tool) that   is   written,    spoken,    sung,    pictured,    worshiped by all of us in  the romantic sense. 

The common form of language ( tool) has been, at times, more than a little ambivalent, cumbersome, and  arbitrary.  Adjectives adverbs can drive the transportation of your valuable information crazy before it gets to its destination. 

As always there are exceptions.   Poets, Comedians  and those  who write advertisements love it  and might go out of business without it.

 However to   use the common language as the only tool in any search   one could   get trapped into circular  augments, like the little guy below, that  is wasting his  time burning up energy without getting anything for it but entertainment, which could get  tiresome emotionally, spiritually, intellectually, philosophically.

 

 

 

This is a description of the Oxford English Dictionary  copied  from wikipedia....According to the publishers, it would take a single person 120 years to "key in" text to convert it to machine readable form which consists a total of 59 million words of the OED second edition, 60 years to proofread it, and 540 megabytes to store it electronically.[7] As of 30 November 2005, the Oxford English Dictionary contained approximately 301,100 main entries. Supplementing the entry headwords, there are 157,000 bold-type combinations and derivatives; 169,000 italicized-bold phrases and combinations; 616,500 word-forms in total, including 137,000 pronunciations; 249,300 etymologies; 577,000 cross-references; and 2,412,400 usage quotations. The dictionary's latest, complete print edition (Second Edition, 1989) was printed in 20 volumes, comprising 291,500 entries in 21,730 pages. The longest entry in the OED2 was for the verb set, which required 60,000 words to describe some 430 senses. As entries began to be revised for the OED3 in sequence starting from M, the longest entry became make in 2000, then put in 2007.[8]

 

All of  this is only for the English language. Multiply this by all the language all the dialects. One can easily see the  magnitude of the issue.

 

What about user There is little at the moment  that can be done for  the user of language
There is lots of room for the misuse of language. It is the classic double edge sword capable of hurting  the attacker or the attacked, intentionally or unintentionally. It is dangerous because of its inherent lack of absolute accuracy. It can and has been impediment, an
obstacle, to the search for the  better life.   Unfortunately language with all of its virtues and drawback is close to the only common tool we share. The most worrisome and least discussed reality is,  almost half of us cannot , casually, grasp  the full content of a written or spoken declaration  like that poor fellow holding up the sign in the image below.

 

 about time for End of arguments about common language as a tool


There is a 
tool  which has been  successfully used in the search but is often  under threat of being slowed down even stopped for unreasonable times in application by   powerful organizations that  feel threatened by its use. They use  simple misleading language arguments of doubt. This troublesome tool,  to some,  is called basic scientific research. Its most magnificent deeds seem to happen by chance and in spite of us  "us the language people." Scientist  when communicating with each using traditional language in the early days of science were compelled by the language issue to streamline their  communication methods or be ignored  misunderstood something no productive scientist can stand for very long.

There was one more very significant change made by the scientific community about the same time, one that  may have permanently isolated scientist  from the rest of the world for ever!

Since the times of Galileo and his equally pushy colleague scientist's creditability had grown substantially using  instrument  many time more sensitive then native humans senses.

"In spite of us"
Does this  phrase symbolize  an attitude or  condition that some may have  toward science,  especially basic research. Does this attitude slow The search for a better life?

Modern science started not so long ago by  a small group of  Italian fellows like the one called  Galileo who was a poorly paid teacher with a small business on the side to make  ends meet . Galileo's business was based on making instruments of war using the new way of looking at and describing the laws of nature. One instrument he  designed was  a combination   aiming  device for cannons and a calculator for all sorts of military things. His competitors, who had connection in high places and were still using old fashioned but common sense methods which were  wrong in designing their instruments. They were bad mouthing Galileo instruments to push him out of the market. This was a common approach that is still used today and it was hurting  Galileo business by  using  simple common-sense type  arguments in their sales approach. The simpler the better but the wrong-er they got.

Through out Galileo's  business life he found,  experimentally,  a number of instances where Nature did not follow our human common-sense arguments.  Falling bodies like cannon balls was one of them.  Galileo found  more business opportunities  using  nature laws instead of using the more traditional common-sense approach. Another of his military products,  a really famous one, nearly cost Galileo his life, . Someone named this instrument the "telescope".

More and more scientist began finding many human common-sense laws  were bendable, where as  they found Natures laws fixed, testable, using measurements of Time, Length, and Mass . This left scientist no other choice   but  to   abandon their  human judges and the juries pronouncements  and to adopt  Natures judgments that could be discovered and tested instrumentally by  scientist using precise and accurate measurements of Time, Length, and Mass.

Instrument and measurements of the laws of nature.
Above is our goddess of scientific  measurements. We borrowed her from the  law and justice department. Her hand grasps the sword  for use in the enforce  human's  laws.  Her balance, a type  of scale for comparing things like the plus and minus of the law.
We added a ruler to her tools to extend   instrument inventory to three. Three are   needed by the physical science world. They include  measurements  of  Time, Length and Mass. Can you find them?  Hint, the balance pans  are used in comparing mass's also  they are used to measure and compare time by the swinging  periods of the pendulum . either pan can be used.

 

TODAY'S  LABORATORIES  ARE A BIT DIFFERENT THAN IN GALILEO'S TIME  BUT THE RULES OF CONDUCT, HE HELPED PIONEER, ARE VERY MUCH THE ALIVE. THEY ARE GETTING STRONGER, THROUGH PRACTICE, OVER THE LAST 400 YEARS OF TESTING.

There was one more very significant change made by the scientific community about the same time, one that  may have permanently isolated scientist  from the rest of the world for ever!

The change came about because the  spoken and written languages then and now were and are  more than a little ambivalent, cumbersome, and  arbitrary.  Adjective adverbs were driving  most scientist crazy. Can you tell us why? Since the times of Galileo and his equally pushy colleague scientist's creditability had grown substantially using  instrument  many time more sensitive then native humans senses. But and, a bigger but Scientist  when communicating with each other were compelled to streamline their  communication methods or be ignored (something no productive scientist can stand for very long)



Tower OF Babel The Confusion of Tongues.

All these wonderful transformations had a down side.  Only scientist can get the full meaning and the precise nature of other scientist work. To the rest of the world  it all sound like gibberish or coded language, consisting  of modern day texting,  Greek symbols.  Some  scientist called all  this  mathematics.

One world was divide into two with a steep wall separating them. One world is where the scientist and their sponsors. work  the other the bulk  of the population and the sponsors of business and government function.

Does this affect our search for a better life ?

The  enemy's of science have long since learned not to question science. so much as to question the ethics of those practicing it. Why not? Humans are only common-sense guidance creatures that have learn from experience and their natural  sense of sight, sound, touch etc. Scientist have learned this first hand not to trust even each other and themselves  with out solid physically measure-able proof.

Has this change slowed our search for a better life?

In-creditable  Creditability
Scientist are still human aren't they?--



Aren't they?-- Maybe just a little bit? There is little enforcement of law against it?

If this were true?
Common sense backed up by personal experience (data) kicks in.  A common-sense decision is made. Science  is wrong cause scientist are wrong?

Changing a  common-sense position
IS more than just being wrong!!  It is a serious loss of  personal pride?  This is  a very very serious issue for most?   If there is no immediate reason for admitting being wrong chances are--- one might not admit being wrong.



Creditable  Creditability
Round one science loses?  Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm?


(Lots of business ,professions etc. are treating the word science as a super adjective to heighten the  creditability of their business or profession. Example have flourished in recent years.

Does this attitudes slow The search for a better life?

 

 

It was the early 1600's when Galileo and his telescopes were in the middle of  Nature laws versus religious laws  discussions. The religious enforcement tool of choice, for proving their case, was burning the perpetrator at the stake, in public, setting examples to anyone,  especially scientist, for not obeying the religious laws or protocol.--- .  

This attitude  sets the tone for the  following conversation which may best be expressed in a  1623 (400 year old) Shakespearian rhythm which was in vogue at a time when science was coming alive.

 Let the authors set a Shakespearian stage. The actor below  is playing the part of  Galileo presenting the new 1600's point of view of science and scientist.

With his telescope in the raw, his remarks might have been  opened with the famous  dialog !


C
itizens!   Scientists!   Teachers of science! 

Lend us your ears! Your eyes! Your emotions; and imagination.

We come to bring the emotions of scientific discoveries.
nearer to you, not to praise them.

The evil that scientists do lives after them,
The good is oft interred with their bones
So let it  be with Science.

The search for a better life?
Can we ever be
serviced by science when it is  weighed against  all powerful agents   often preferring not to take into account  Nature Laws,  Laws which are expressed and studied scientifically with measurements of Time, Length, and Mass, Laws of Nature not  always in synchronization with  human made laws derived   from our eternal common-sense judgment?

Environment- Human Derived Laws?
Most humans live under what seems to be a tyranny of rules, laws, regulation and guidelines, so many it appears  hopeless to believe one has any choice in any thing we wish to do or chose to do. It even seems dangerous to speak out  for reason to those who enforce  these laws. In a nut shell we  almost have to act as though we do not have any  real say in what is going on here there or anywhere. What is our recourse but to dig in -- chose our common-sense emotional position and stand our ground so as not to lose face, lose pride. -- Pride one of humans  strongest held  emotion which is an all, powerful motivator is not taken lightly by any normal human.  Pride of self is all.   Is there no hope for change without violent revolution? Can science help answer these questions?

Humans may have done it to ourselves in  letting the creation of   laws for  governments and religions where we have left enforcement  in the hands of strangers which  may have questionable allegiance to the original intention of the law. It seems at times  we don't  own our lives, our bodies to do with  as we are physical governed to do as long  as the  brain is legally (electrically) alive. When the brain is (electrically) dead the  body parts remain alive ----- and are  commodities?

Since  scientist do most the work on how nature works we want to  know  how good are scientist at this task. Do we  need to be told  or even suggested  by complete non science strangers how much we can trust our scientist?

This, the eternal question;   will it or would it,  ever be possible, or should we have the right, to the answer to these questions? How well are scientist  doing the job for us-- or even what or when   can we expect  from them?  
 

 Comparison Environment Permanency  Nature  Laws

Common-sense derived laws in the Common-sense World (CW) Are more likely to be accepted  in any debate with the Scientific World (SW).
Because.   It uses more direct , easier to understand, common sense laws in their arguments versus sci-techs offer us more convoluted statically saturated data,  short cut formulas, burdened with obscurity----arguments.


It is very different with Nature.  Nature has  laws. Nature  enforces its laws. Examples; the force laws of gravity, electricity, magnetism. These are not about to be changed in  any human generated court.
 
 Scientist have assumed a role of exploring and reporting  the laws of nature. They  debate and battle to get them right.

 

Scientist who knowingly make up, falsify, publish such data, found through fellow scientist applying this data will be ignored/ fired by  fellow scientist and  the sponsor of the work.  It is sure grounds for dismissal with the loss of most any opportunity of any other job in science. The perpetrator is done, will be  sanctioned  by all concerned, hence forth  loses all  respect by everyone in and out of

The world of ScientificScience.

Nature and its laws will have it no other way!

Below Marie Curie in the background seems to be contemplating the usage of the laws of nature.   In our photo we have a hand balancing a brass ball the approximate size of  a Uranium 235 chunk needed to make an atom bomb.

Theory and experiments
Perhaps many have taken note that laws for governments, religions, and sciences are parallel only bearing  tiny differences in , methods and strengths of enforcing  them. They all include theory and experimental data. The experimental data  has the final say until further  work  expanding its results  gives a clearer understanding of the laws available.

In scientific work studying and discovering new laws of nature measurements scientist are always pushing for greater precision  and absoluteness accuracy. If they are  wrong it can be  a catastrophe on a massive scale. Science is not a game.

There is serious trouble  for everyone buried in the words ---  measurements, measurements and measurements.


Nature is absolute.
 Humans are relative creatures, "maybes" highlight wishes in their decisions.   Thus  the cause for  much debate and confusion. between the scientist, scientist and non-scientist.  In the end Natures has its way.

All living things must measure things just to get a place to exist.. Scientist have made a profession of using  highly specialized instruments measuring the laws of nature relevant to humans beings. .

The range of  measurements.
Scientist achievements have broached pure guesses at the size of the visible universe and things smaller than the  parts of atoms  they also cover thing between these extremes.

This document is dedicated
toward reducing confusion--  if possible.   If not--- at least provide an environment to raise ourselves a little bit more above pure rancor in debating basic research efforts that have profound impact on our search for a better life  This is sum of our  challenge for ScientificScience.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Having come this far in the conversation lets poke into this a bit more with a single super simple  example  taken from an unimpeachable source. The reader perhaps remembers  the story as told in a widely read and quoted  religious source the Gospel. it is the story of the  tower of Babel.  We are told that languages were confused. It clearly identifies by  who,  why,  and where.
 


It is true that there are many languages,  but, but, and but is it true in the story how they got that way?  Maybe the who  that was purported to have changed everyone's language  was wrongly accused.
Some could and do challenge the story, but not the message? The accuracy of this story would then be questionable? If it is? Then what about all the of the rest of the stories in the text. Follow the same route. Wouldn't they be questionable also?   Many may have  similar trouble  with the illustration covering the Babel story?  What about  'all illustrations' what about them?
Where does it end? It can not if the methods of searching are not improved
 and maintained like the little fellow climbing the eternal  stair case!



Enough? stop? The point is made? The answers remain divided when Natures laws seem to be ignored  in a judgment. There are  lots of example of other situations  that have been explored showing similar conditions.  This one was chosen because in one form or another,  in one way or another,  little or a lot,   it eventually touches all of us with its message and its questions about words the things that make up our languages. Our decisions our lives in our search for the better life.


It is HOPELESS, KAPUT, BROKE, PERIOD.. The little fellow above  will go on forever climbing those stairs until something  in natures computer breaks. Maybe a very serious break for all living creatures.


The common language as a  stand alone tool for our search of a better life?
The common form of language has been, at times, more than a little ambivalent, cumbersome, and  arbitrary.  Adjectives adverbs can drive the transportation of your valuable information crazy before one get it. As always they're exceptions.   Poets, Comedians  and those  who write advertisements love it  and might go out of business without it.

 

It is HOPELESS, KAPUT, BROKE, PERIOD.. The little fellow below will go on forever until something  in natures computer breaks. Maybe a very serious break for all living creatures? If he does not work he brought the internet?

Is there any better road to search on for a better life?
Yes, better, faster,  and cheaper but it not immune to human tampering it has to have 27-7  vigilance but it can be the  bestest, fastest way in the Search for that better life!

What else can one do?

Can we help our  beloved languages be more accurate and precise. (there is a difference even between these.). Can one  help out those dear little adjectives, adverbs  and other modifiers using quantitative measurements  in numbers, of time, length and mass where (ever possible)?

 

 We have the good fortune that one of the  past times of dedicated language buffs  is helping others  with their  grammar, spelling, and punctuation. They struggle with their students and each other.  sometimes if not careful may  miss the content of the documents entirely without them being improved. or grasped. by the helper Considering the inherent complexity of the language they are dealing with it is a wonder that they try.

 

The accuracy of the language is suitable to most,. after all most have no other choice. At best common sense and experience can help us in our decision. Following others on the same course can be reinsuring . One never knows  for sure using common sense in making our decisions. It is like  gambling with a deck stacked by those  with  more power  than the common folk. in the lead calling the shots

 

Few can find  happiness in being wrong in public especially with some one making it obvious that we are wrong. can be a bitter pill swallowing ones pride and being humbled at being wrong and being told it with and  one  may find it is to better  to carrying a large red  letter on you chest stating  that you are wrong than admitting it.that  reminding you that you dontg give a damn. someone
 

 

 

Searching for a better life In the commonsense world.

Is it possible to analyze the complex scientificscience  with just bright white light or look at in  shedding light of different a spectrum of colors to give us a purer view of  the  science world (sw) so that it is more realistic, more understandable, more useful  to the larger commonsense world ( cw).

What is it really like to be a physical scientist in this science world we've had for the  last 400 years?

 

Two little pieces of glass showed us how big the universe really is compared with our tiny little earth. A little frog gave the biggest change in our lives through introducing us to the kingdom modern electricity. A tiny rock in a dark draw showed us the path to the nuclear energy available to us.   The sun Has been trying to do this for billons of years.

Remember these deeds happened "In spite of us". Remember those four little words at the beginning of this web site.  Remember  the (400 year old) Shakespearian rhythm type speech from our actor playing the part of Galileo.
Evidence suggests that  this sort of  thing will mostly happen primarily under the surveillance and guidance of nature's laws with only tiny help from our commonsense laws.

The required conduct  dictated by Nature to the  scientists  is described in the follow the  list of 10+ commandments  that clarify what a successful senor scientist's   daily work day, work life is really like.  Some commandments are known, some guessed at , some  surprising some unbelievable to the
Commonsense world. 

  1. The part of science we call basic research goal is searching  and understand every aspect of Nature's world. It is not applied research nor engineering that focuses instead on applying the products of basic research to commercial products.
  2. During the the discovery phase of the work in science it appears to mos  t people to be  mostly tedious demanding work, with a 24-7 working schedule.  Perseverance is essential.
  3. Intense initial and continual training (learning?) is a must.

·         Initiation in science involves intense training in far out things only scientists need to know and the field moves so very fast it requires constant hard work to keep abreast of advances.

·         Scientists must continue to learn on their own, to hold their positions and successfully stay ahead of the competition.

·         Brand new scientists joining the field every year with up to date knowledge will move in and overtake those that have not kept up.

  1. The average productive professional life of a leading research scientist may last 20 years, 30 for those that continue in teaching, consulting etc.
  2. Science can be a lonely world to some because communication deals with esoteric language and instrumentation.

·         There is a huge language barrier between that used by the general public and scientists’ precise, often esoteric symbolic language of mathematics.

·         Scientists talk about data from complex scientific instruments, instruments they have created to extend the senses.  They can see, hear, smell and feel things the other people can’t with unaided senses and the words used to describe them are like a foreign language.

  1. Scientists’ work must be repeatable by others.  This is the bedrock for the progress made by science and the successes it has achieved.

·         Scientists have to be strict, unforgiving, no nonsense policemen within their research project to assure that all of their colleagues and technicians are performing their work to the highest professional standards in all aspects that could affect the outcome of their research.

·         A scientist’s work is owned by the sponsor of that work. It is published only with the sponsor or employer’s permission. 

·         It will be reviewed by peers and experts in the field.  Experimental procedures and results will be checked and tested by scientists using the work of other scientists in their work.  

·         Scientists’ mistakes and errors are an embarrassment to the sponsor and a threat to financial survival.  Career survival is based on “getting it right”.

·         In the long run errors and shortcomings in prior work and thought are     exposed.  This provides for a self correcting and confirmation process that accounts for why science has been relatively successful in its advances.

·         If we exert the same scrutiny and requirement for correct information and “getting it right” in all our other disciplines and institutions, much could be gained for our society.

  1. Prior work in science is the basis of new findings.  In this sense scientific progress is always based on team efforts.
  2. Scientific discoveries are often at odds with simple common sense explanations based on everyday simplified observations. This makes it difficult to get public support. 
  3. Few thank science, even if it’s deserved, simply because the public finds it difficult to understand what the scientists did, how they did it, why they did it, or its true value in the big picture.  But then, no one knows how big that picture really is, especially the scientist.
  4. The weirdest thing about scientists though is they will fight like hell to get and keep their jobs. Because in the end they know that each piece of knowledge they find and publish adds to the ultimate knowledge base we so desperately depend on to move ahead and better the world.

 

So the bottom line for anyone looking for a meaningful career that adds to everyone’s future is:  If you’re young enough at heart, adaptable enough to be innovative and don't mind occasionally feeling like a masochist, join the scientific community!  Here you will truly do something very special and valuable that few have the opportunity to do. You will have the chance to leave your mark on the world, a mark that may last for many generations and give  back a little something toward what the world has passed on to you.

 

If your interest lies in other fields that you want to contribute in, you can be a citizen sponsor for science and the basic research that gives us the knowledge to move ahead.

 

 

What is the basic message, the basic thing, to pass on,  to push ahead with?

 

 

`"Friends! Romans! countrymen! Lend me your ears; I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him.
The evil that men do lives after them,
The good is oft interred with their bones;
So let it be with Caesar. The noble Brutus
Hath told you Caesar was ambitious:
If it were so, it was a grevious fault,
And greviously hath Caesar answer'd it.
16 THE PSYCHOLOGY OF
Here, under leave of Brutus and the rest—For Brutus is an honorable man;
So are they all, all honorable men—
Come I to speak in Caesar's funeral.
He was my friend, faithful and just to me: But Brutus says he was ambitious;
And Brutus is an honorable man.
He hath brought many captives home to Rome, Whose ransoms did the general coffers fill:
Did this in Caesar seem ambitious?
When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept; Ambition should be made of sterner stuff:
But Brutus says he was ambitious:
And Brutus is an honorable man.
You all did see that on the Lupercal
I thrice presented him with a kingly crown, Which he did thrice refuse: was this ambition? Yet Brutus says he was ambitious;
And, sure, he is an honorable man.
I speak not to disprove what Brutus spoke, But here I am to speak what I do know.
You all did love him once, not without cause:
What cause withholds you, then, to mourn for him? 0 judgment! thou art fled to brutish beasts,
And men have lost their reason. Bear with me; My heart is in the coffin there with Caesar, And I must pause till it comes back to m???????

Can one believe that some authors  of popular science books uses numbers   only to number the  pages in his or her book?.----

.
This white page "Searching for a  Better Life" with words 
more than  likely will be the cause of a troublesome journey   for the reader because  the senior co-author, (senior in age only,)  uses  "language" some believe is a form of commutations, impure many will agree but made more impurer by the   'senior co-author's, educational background of ,disa-achievements, maybe a better description of his education atonements, from a  one room school caring for  8 grades, 12 students, eleven goldfish,  yes 11, one sacrificed in a biology demonstration, a random number teachers with half life's of about seven months , but still determined to raise up the trouble makers in class to a higher intellectual level (maybe heaven by supplying them  with enough chemistry books  and sources of chemicals to  cover  their experiments  in designing and making  pepped up rocket fuels that if it worked would  create a noisy journey   for some of them up to  kingdom-come.  A distance  not fully understood by the students  who only thought  in terms of  four kings per deck but far enough to give the teachers some piece.

Comments:
The example of prose above hopefully speaks for itself. and nothing  more should be needed to be said about  humans biggest road block in moving forward  to a better life. In one word "words".
