ALL science and all scientists
Michael
Since the beginning of mankind's ponderings on the "nature of all things universal" - ALL science and all scientists have ultimately been proved to be wrong in either some major or minor way. The theory of the Universe as perceived by Ptolemy gave way to that of Copernicus, Copernicus to Kepler and Kepler to Hawking & Penrose.
Although the beauty about Andrew Cohen's "What is enlightenment" magazine-initiative is that it brings together such a wide diversity of knowledge & opinion - acquired & established by the very broadest spectrum of specialist practitioners - such that articles about Zaadz.com and A New Dawn for Cosmology can be published in the same edition - there is a tendency to encourage us to seek & get involved with more and more about less and less.
This is exemplified by the latest edition which highlights Ken Wilber's view's on God's Next Move - as Ken himself acknowledges Ray Kurzweil's views on the singularity etc. - against a background of discussion between Ray Kurzweil - as a scientist - and Stephen Woolfram - as a mathematician - about Stephen Woolfram's book "A New Kind of Science".
In view of our ever increasing need to consider - and accept - what changes when change changes? - Einstein's observation that - we cannot solve problems at the same level of thinking at which we created them - stills seems most appropriate - but should we not, equally, be seeking less and less about more and more?
In the same way that Spinoza inspired confidence in Leibnitz to publish his theories, as a result of their discussions about the I-Ching - we should utilise the Zaadz ‘like-minded collective' to promote a greater collective spiritual understanding of what needs to happen to change the world!

I agree with you Michael sort of… in my view… science has not been proven wrong because there is no right and wrong with models of reality. It is a question of degree of fit. The theories now fit better… or has reality moved? That is the question. I like that about seeking less and less about more and more. That is certainly the direction to go in my opinion. Great post :-)
less and less about more and more
Thanks for that link, Michael! I've been trying to find that thread since having had to sign off the day I asked for your friendship!
Could it be even contemplated, that the organisation which gave us the internet, be now about to let the ”BIG PICTURE GENIE out of the BIG PICTURE BOTTLE” ???
… OR that the idea that the Universe has been around ‘forever’ didn’t, in fact, start at the Big Bang, as suggested by Brian Cox, and that Stepehen Hawking and Dr. Michio Kaku are among those discussing the possibility of travelling close to the speed of light and how that would change the way we experience TIME.
