Infinity and the Mind

Why do scientists persist in expecting everything to be finite? Their researches in so many fields prove the opposite if only they could release themselves from the mental prison their training has built for them.

The present assumption is that the universe is likely to go on expanding indefinitely until no galaxy is visible from another and the universe becomes ice-cold and lifeless. The conservation of matter and energy should demonstrate clearly enough how doubtful is this assumption. Nothing is ever destroyed – it only changes form. Even the destruction of a solar system in a supernova provides the material to build new worlds. The same must be true of galaxies and even of the universe itself. Death and rebirth are vital factors in everything that is, yet scientists appear to deny their existence when it comes to the universe, whether in microcosm (Particle Physics) or macrocosm (Astrophysics).

There is also a reluctance to accept that infinity exists. Faced with an expanding universe, scientists seem mentally restricted to assuming apocalypse. I believe the key to changing this lies in detailed study of the mind – NOT THE BRAIN. The mind is part of our infinite self, whereas the brain is part of our finite physical body. By studying the mind properly without making prior assumptions, (which despite assurances to the contrary, researchers do all the time) scientists will eventually discover it is infinite and when not constrained by purely physical laws can be the most powerful force in the universe. Indeed, such study should reveal a series of new natural laws (new to science that is) which will revolutionize general understanding of all aspects of human existence.
