Twelve Ideas that Might Expand the Scope of Science Ashok Kumar Mukhopadhyay 1 Year 2022 59 © 2022 Global Journals Global Journal of Science Frontier Research Volume XXII Issue ersion I VI ( A ) Author: All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, and North DMC Medical College & HRH, Delhi. e-mail: mukhoak1953@gmail.com Abstract- Science progresses slowly by Apollonian, who extends its boundary by bringing perfection on the established lines. Science often takes an intuitive leap by Dionysian, who opens an unexpected new line of research. The present paper presents twelve mixes of such ideas which together are capable of extending the scope of science. An analyst could find several ideas within one main idea; assumption, imagination, intuition or obvious reality, not one, however, on any beaten track. Each of the main idea is supported by a figure, the mind’s artwork, captioned with several new ideas. Most of the ideas have a bias towards operational consciousness. The erected framework has the potential of ushering in a new Multiversal Worldview accommodating science, humanities, and spirit together. I. I ntroduction cience, derived from the Latin “ scientia ,” originally meant general knowledge of physical and spiritual world. Through the ages, however, the meaning of science narrowed to the description and understanding (knowledge) of nature (i.e., the physical world)” – George A Olah, Nobel Prize winner in Chemistry in 1994. Thus, science deals with nature. The present science has been working under the umbrella of Einstein’s constant, the velocity of light, Planck’s constant of space (10 -32 cm) and time (10 -44 sec), and the constancy of the entropy barrier. Einstein’s constant excludes the simultaneity of events. Planck’s constant, which indicates objective cognitive limit, excludes continuity of events. The entropy barrier excludes the identity of events. Nature does not end under the shadow of these constants. There are events that are simultaneous, continuous, and identical! The scientists are looking for the ideas that stimulate science-sensitized minds to extend the scope of present science [1]. There might be bottom-up ideas that push the envelope of science further. It is possible to investigate in science across the pores in its mind-made envelope. It is also possible to start with some ideas which transcend its present boundary. Or, the idea begins from seemingly the imaginary ‘top’ and across the ‘down’ embrace the whole. We choose to discuss twelve such ideas spirally intertwined with each other. “S II. T he T welve I deas a) Axiology of Reality Nature does not end with the material reality (e=mc 2 ), space-time reality (warping of space-time as gravity, and hyper-dimension), and abstract mathema- tical reality (multiverse)! There is biological reality as well. Within the biological reality, there is a cognitive reality! Cognitive reality could extend into any kind of reality including cosmological reality. Mathematical reality could construct multiple universe(s) but cannot account for biological reality which is integral (in contrast to integration) of several asymmetries. To look into the axiology of the reality within systems science could be our first idea (Figure 1). When someone says he is a “voice” without a form, it seems in form ation exists prior to ‘form’ (space and time). Informational reality is before space-time reality! The source of such a voice, i.e., ‘information’ is “life”. The reality of life is prior to the reality of information. The idea provokes us to ask, what is the source of matter, and what is the source of space and time? Which of the two statements is correct; matter generates life as prevalent in present science, or the life generates matter?
