The Ten
Assumptions of Science
1. MATERIALISM: The external world exists after the observer does not.
2. CAUSALITY: All effects have an infinite number of material causes.
3. UNCERTAINTY: It is impossible to know everything about anything,
but it is possible to know more about anything.
4. INSEPARABILITY: Just as there is no motion without matter, so there
is no matter without motion.
5. CONSERVATION: Matter and the motion of matter neither can be
created nor destroyed.
6. COMPLEMENTARITY: All things are subject to divergence and
convergence from other things.
7. IRREVERSIBILITY: All processes are irreversible.
8. INFINITY: The universe is infinite, both in the microcosmic and
macrocosmic directions.
9. RELATIVISM: All things have characteristics that make them similar
to all other things as well as characteristics that make them
dissimilar to all other things.
10. INTERCONNECTION: All things are interconnected, that is, between
any two objects exist other objects that transmit matter and motion.
Corollaries
1. Time is motion.
2. Motion is not a dimension.
3. The universe is Euclidean (3-D only).
4. Neither empty space nor solid matter can exist. Both are
idealizations, with reality forming the continuum between them.
5. Because empty space is impossible, the nonexistence of the universe
is impossible.
Predictions
1. The Big Bang Theory of the “origin” of the universe is false.
2. The cosmological redshift mainly is a function of distance, not
recession.
3. Gravitation is a push, not a pull.
4. There is an intergalactic medium for the transmission of
electromagnetic radiation.
5. No particles are massless. |
