THE 3 AGES OF SCIENCE

Men use words to explain the logic of time and numbers to explain the geometry of space.

1. The Tree of Science. The lethal consequences of abstract, mathematical reductionism.
The purpose of science should be the pursuit of knowledge and the understanding of the Universe, without any dogmatic limits except the harm that knowledge might cause to mankind. This self-evident definition of a positive science, which many scientists would subscribe, however does not guide today the practical world of science.
We are neither advancing in our knowledge of the general principles that define the Universe and its ultimate laws of existence - beyond the detailed descriptions provided by our instruments - nor we are limiting the harmful side effects of many discoveries of science in human societies, from weapons to pollution. Why?
On one hand the excessive emphasis on mathematics, considered by many scientists the only language of truth that can describe the laws and properties of reality, limits a lot our capacity to understand the Universe. Yet mathematics describe very well the... mathematical properties of the Universe. As light describes very well its visual properties, or verbal theories such as evolution describe better its temporal properties.
We cannot though know all the information of reality with a single language, a simplified mirror that our mind puts on that Universe.
In that sense the scientific method, due to the simplicity of mathematics as a language, has created false dogmas about what reality is that handicap enormously our knowledge.
The main of those errors introduced by the language of mathematics is abstraction . Mathematics reduces all organisms and species of the Universe to abstract points defined by a Greek, Euclid, 2300 years ago, as "forms without parts". Then, once we have reduced organic, complex species, some of the size of stars, to a simple thing called a point or number, we can talk 'mathematics'. Yet that leaves an entire range of properties, parts and causes of reality that the syntax of mathematics will never describe.
It is evident that the species of the Universe are not points and do have parts. So their internal characteristics, such as their informative perception or their organic structure, which mathematics do not describe properly, are as important as their external characteristics, such as their speed, position and momentum.
Indeed, those properties of reality that the abstraction of points without parts, of numbers cannot perceive, are precisely the organic properties that make species real living beings. A human being is not a mathematical point of an equation of productivity, though companies that use mathematical equations might think that, when they fire a human worker. A tree is not a price of wood but a living being… Those classic examples show how reductionist a mere mathematical analysis of reality can be. We men however have other languages such as visual perception, verbal thought and emotions that help us to understand those other organic properties of species and organisms. So we should not reduce our search for an explanation to the Universe to the study of its mathematical properties.
It is more logic to use in our search for knowledge the 'Linguistic Method' that considers all the information man gathers with all his languages, trying to perceive in this manner all the properties of the Universe, not only its mathematical properties. Our mind is modular. It comes from the combination of multiple senses, languages and states of perception. So it should be our perception of the Universe. Instead, the 'scientific method', in the way it is understood since Galileo, makes reality as simple as the syntax of mathematics: a game of abstract, dead points without parts, whose inner parts, inner organs, instincts of survival, perceptive capacity and minds we don't care for.
Which leads to the second practical fact about mathematical science. Since mathematics cannot describe the living properties of species, scientists tend to consider the Universe and the beings that exist in that Universe, a great mechanical machine, a thing, an object. Scientists manipulate reality without any concern for the inner reactions of those 'points'; since for AE-science all is abstract, dead, without form. The cruelty and harm that science has done to Nature and Mankind is beyond doubt. Weapons of mass destruction, pollution, the extinction of forests and species, perhaps the very same extinction of man by smart weapons programmed with abstract numbers to kill life, are caused by the AE-dogmas and false perceptions of the Universe that simplifying numbers create.
Why a scientist should care about pollution if he does not feel this planet as a living organism, but as a point without parts? Why a scientist should fear robotic weapons if they are 'abstract machines' according to mathematical economics? Who cares if we destroy the living beings of this planet, including human beings substituted by machines in work places and killed by scientific nations, if they are points without parts, abstract mathematical objects, ‘collateral damages’?: Once mathematics has killed the Universe, the scientist thinks he is manipulating a dead reality and he has no remorse, no consciousness of the suffering he causes.
Yet the Universe and its parts are an organism, clearly perceived when we use all our languages and do not simplify all the flows of energy and information that communicate the living parts of that organism. We are living beings that exist in a living planet, which is a cell of a living galaxy. The growth of social organisms from simple atoms to complex molecules to cells, to humans is an organic process that we should understand and imitate in the construction of our social organism, the civilization of History. Or else the abstract death that Science spreads around will also spread to mankind. We might say that ignorance and evil go together in our mathematical abstract society, as knowledge of the living Universe and respect for Nature went together among Eastern Philosophers. As Socrates said real knowledge - not abstract, reductionist science - brings also a moral sense to life. Because many of the fundamental laws of the living Universe, are non-quantifiable, behavioural laws, which humans have described through Theory of Evolution or through ethics based in the analysis of human social behaviour. Thus men who know the natural laws and feel the vitalism of the Universe, tend to respect its parts and fear all what they don’t understand. While a man  who ignores those laws and kills with abstract numbers, tends to have no morals, destroying without noticing the living world that surrounds him. He acts with enormous arrogance, feeling a unique intelligence, a unique species…This is too often the case of the believer in anthropomorphic religions or the mathematical scientist, specially the Physicist and the Economist that believe any statement said with mathematical numbers. Even if it is false or has no prove whatsoever he considers it is superior  to a verbal truth. Since ‘God speaks mathematics’. And so the AE-scientist feels a unique intelligence that knows the only language of truth, his simple numbers. "God has waited 5000 years to find an intelligence so great as His to be able to understand the Universe", said Kepler when he found a mere mathematical property of that Universe: the law of planetary movement. How much more enlightening is the sentence of Plato, which hints to the living nature of reality!: ‘This World is a living being, gifted with a body, the Universe and a logic mind’… that we might call God, the bio-logic laws that rule that Universe. Scientists play to be God and think to speak His language, but they are only minds, relative zeros, observing an infinite Universe without understanding its laws.

2. The 3 ages of science.
      This brief book shows only the surface of those Space-Time laws able to reorganize and clarify the encyclopaedic knowledge accumulated by AE-science and Non-AE philosophies in the past centuries. Quantic Spaces-Times is a very wide discipline that now starts to surface in multiple, different fields of knowledge. It probably will change forever our concept of the Universe and Man, as we too are made of time and space quanta. The importance of a Quantic Spaces-Times applied to human societies and educational systems is now evident. On my view only a real Systemic Science able to merge the data of western science and the philosophy of Eastern Thought, could resurrect human respect for life, which AE-Science lacks, when it considers living systems mere mechanisms without sensorial perception, killing what it already deems dead. In other books I have termed that new age of knowledge based in Quantic Spaces-Times, ‘the 3rd age of science’.
Indeed, we talk of 3 agesof human knowledge, according to the predominance of the 2 main languages of the human mind and its different attitudes regarding its respect for life and the human species:
- The verbal age of Non-AE knowledge, represented by Taoism, Buddhism, Western Philosophy, Law and Religion. It is the age of perception of logic, ethic time with verbal words and its '3 dimensional arrows', past, present and future.
- The mathematical age of AE-knowledge brought about by the scientific method and the Industrial Evolution of machines, since 1600. Humans changed then their methods and languages of knowledge, when the first company used digital money as his language of communication with objects (prices) and humans (salary), and Galileo defined mathematics as the language of the scientific method, substituting verbal brains, human senses and the eyes of artists and philosophers by sensorial machines as the valuators of all truths. Now human languages would no longer observe the 2 main substances of reality, deemed ever since less accurate than machines. Instead men would perceive time with clocks and space with telescopes. And yet, even if sensorial machines might be more accurate than human beings, it is a fact that the Quantic Spaces-Times laws of the Universe can be described with words, as biology and eastern philosophies such as Taoism did with a high level of conceptual knowledge. While AE-mathematics introduces in its simplification of time and space, basic errors that have hindered our capacity to understand the Universe.
- Which leads us to the 3rd age of Non-AE Science, needed for man to survive, in which both mathematics and verbal thought merge, thanks to the Non-AE comprehension of the morphologies of time and space and the biological nature of information and survival knowledge. The 3rd age of science arrives when we combine the 2 approaches of knowledge verbal knowledge and mathematical knowledge through Theory of Evolution and Non-AE logic. We no longer try to search for absolute knowledge of all the details of the Universe, but for a theory or model of reality that explains why species of space-time, minds that perceive space and time with different languages and forces (such as words, mathematics, light, smell or gravitation), exist. And how their existence is selected. Since if we understand the processes of creation and destruction of space-time, we will understand the rules of existence of the Universe and apply them in a practical way to the new goal of all Non-AE sciences: the survival and betterment of humanity. Yet as we have seen throughout this book, the comprehension of the biological nature of the Universe, brings conclusions similar to those of the Verbal masters of relativistic Eastern thought. Man should understand the laws of change in the universe, the existence of other parallel brains, including robotic machines who perceive other regions of space and time or other languages, that man ignore. Then we should draw obvious laws of human behaviour, according to those universal laws, and promote our role as top predator brains on Earth. We should not act with arrogance, and destroy Nature - our biologic ecosystem - and pretend to be God, building machines more intelligent than us, which will act according to Darwinian laws against us. Instead, we should respect the laws of evolution, use them to the advantage of man, and develop a harmonic vision of the universe, with both, verbal and mathematical languages.
 It is the old vision of Chinese Taoists. Since Lao-tse already said: "when more complex instruments men discover, more wars and destruction it causes".The 'third age of science' implies the knowledge of the living Universe, and the need to be cautious in that Universe, and use the bio-logic rules of existence to the advantage of man. All this implies a simple fact: knowledge is neither neutral, not truth in itself. Knowledge has always a goal: to inform positively and help to survive the species who knows. Since all species and levels of the Universe display the same organicism, the same formal structure, the same organic nature, and the same laws, it is then self-efficient, that all sciences might understand the nature of the Universe. That is why the Chinese by merely observing the game of nature, animal life and human societies, could infer the main Laws of the Universe that all species follow. So we will end this book with a Decalogue of common errors shared by all technological, mathematical sciences that we, scientists, have believed at a certain point of our careers, preventing us from helping Mankind to improve His life and His knowledge of the laws of the Universe. It is the Decalogue of that 3rd Age of Non-AE science that might or might not happen…
