Dado el frecuente retorno al tema de la divinidad y el origen del universo presentamos este video emitido hace 22 años, cobra actualidad, más aun cuando Hawking renuncia a sus anteriores opiniones sobre Dios y la creación Del mismo modo que el darwinismo eliminó la necesidad de un creador en el campo de la biología, en su obra Una Breve Historia del Tiempo, en la que sugería que no había incompatibilidad entre la existencia de un Dios creador y la comprensión científica del universo. "Si llegamos a descubrir una teoría completa, sería el triunfo definitivo de la razón humana porque entonces conoceríamos la mente de Dios", escribió en aquel libro, publicado en 1988 y rápidamente convertido en un éxito de ventas. Hawking sostiene en su nuevo libro, titulado en inglés The Grand Design, 2010, que la ciencia moderna no deja lugar a la existencia de un Dios creador
In "The Grand Design" Hawking says that we are somewhat like goldfish in a curved fishbowl. Our perceptions are limited and warped by the kind of lenses we see through, “the interpretive structure of our human brains.” Albert Einstein rejected this subjective approach, common to much of quantum mechanics, but did admit that our view of reality is distorted.
ResponderEliminarEinstein’s Special Theory of Relativity has the surprising consequences that “the same event, when viewed from inertial systems in motion with respect to each other, will seem to occur at different times, bodies will measure out at different lengths, and clocks will run at different speeds.” Light does travel in a curve, due to the gravity of matter, thereby distorting views from each perspective in this Universe. Similarly, mystics’ experience in divine oneness, which might be considered the same "eternal" event, viewed from various historical, cultural and personal perspectives, have occurred with different frequencies, degrees of realization and durations. This might help to explain the diversity in the expressions or reports of that spiritual awareness. What is seen is the same; it is the "seeing" which differs.
In some sciences, all existence is described as matter or energy. In some of mysticism, only consciousness exists. Dark matter is 25%, and dark energy about 70%, of the critical density of this Universe. Divine essence, also not visible, emanates and sustains universal matter (mass/energy: visible/dark) and cosmic consciousness (f(x) raised to its greatest power). During suprarational consciousness, and beyond, mystics share in that essence to varying extents. [quoted from my e-book on comparative mysticism]
