One of the two fundamental assumptions in Euclidian geometry is that the shortest distance between two points is a straight line. When Einstein proved that shortest distance between two lines may not always be a straight line, somebody went back and created a whole new self-sufficient geometry without that particular fundamental assumption. This alternate geometry did sound very complicated to understand but if it was the accepted first theory to begin with, I would have found Euclidian Geometry too difficult to understand. This, I guess, is the exact point you are trying to make.<BR/><BR/>Nonetheless, any theory, as long as it explains bits of nature, is a step forward. Larger the explanation, the better it is.Betahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06032913433023464410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13985744.post-17915192901392037302007-10-30T20:54:00.000+08:002007-10-30T20:54:00.000+08:00Nature is not bound by the scientifc laws, its the...Nature is not bound by the scientifc laws, its the scientific laws that try to impersonate nature.<BR/><BR/>The father asks the son in "The art of motor...", did law of gravity exist before newton discovered it? Son,"I presume so". Father sounds intriguing while saying....it never existed till newton "coined" it. <BR/><BR/>If it was not for Newton, some one else would have coined it differently. All scientic laws are sitting in our heads and not in the nature. <BR/><BR/>God didnt do the complex mathematical calculation to set things in place. Newton developed calculus to explain theories. God couldnt have bothered with that before placing planets at respective places.<BR/><BR/>So we are limited by our own discovery...and any of the puzzles are only a limitation of our explanation. And not the anamoly of nature.<BR/><BR/>The famous story of five blind men's explanation of elephant is apt in the way we are trying to explain nature. Our explanations are true in our pockets but not necessarily in entirety!<BR/><BR/>Hence all the unexplained puzzles- food for growth of our understanding I presume!Trishankuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02149122025872722403noreply@blogger.com
