Discrete Scale Relativity Sounds Absurd?
To the extent that the physics community confronts Discrete Scale Relativity at all, the concepts of relative scale, of limits on reductionist physics, and of strong self-similarity among atoms, stars and galaxies are instantly dismissed as absurd. No need for them to consider the retrodictive successes or the many definitive predictions of this new cosmological paradigm. For them it’s a non-starter.
But then again, Albert Einstein said: “If at first an idea does not sound absurd, then there is no hope for it.” He also said: “Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.” And relevant to the point of the present discussion: “But there is no logical way to the discovery of these elemental laws. There is only the way of intuition, which is helped by a feeling for the order lying behind the appearance, and this Einfühlung [literally, empathy or ‘feeling one’s way in’] is developed by experience.”
I wish I could convince members of the physics community to take the 19 minutes to read the piece linked below. Then they might be more receptive to ideas like Discrete Scale Relativity that take them out of their echo chamber and show them truly new horizons in nature.
