2. Einstein described time and space as relative in the whole called “the ST” transformed by objects. 3. However, I am arguing that the objects are transformed, that phenomena take place as a result of the space and time of which they are part or that they move through. Newton thus preceded Einstein, who did not dismiss his ideas but placed them in a relative context. That is what this book is proposing. As we have already seen, the density of time relativizes all equations! However, what happens in case of growing degrees of freedom? Should we adhere to the reproducibility of scientific facts decreed by the philosophy of the Enlightenment? Did you not understand that growing degrees of freedom and deterministic reproducibility are incompatible? While respecting Penrose’s so-called superb theories,” Iam propos- ing a new vision of the universe. The problem of understanding the current boundaries of science is that we need to make a distinction between reality (facts), concept (understanding of reality), representa- tion (equation) and verification (measuring instruments). Scientific faith was based on equations that became like the icons of religious faith. The excessive formalism alienates scientists from the primordial conceptions of reality, causing the latter to be forced into equations at the cost of an impressive complexity. This complexity can be replaced by the new paradigm of decreasing causality. The gradual disappear- ance of this causality means that something else will take its place: intention! The gradual disappearance of deterministic causality deprives equations of their relevance in the explanation of reality, for equations are meaningless without a cause-effect relation. That is the way of quantum mechanics. There are three basic thought forms that constitute the foundation of physics: logicism, formalism and intuitionism. Neither completely satisfies all the criteria used in establishing the evidence, particularly since Gédel showed the incompleteness of formalism, which is the basis of scientific research. Hervé Barreau summarized the situation as follows”: “the price of intuitionism is the inaptitude to cover the entire field of classical mathematics. The price of logicism is the obvious impossibility to connect even the most recognized arithmetical founda- tions and the price of formalism is that it does not satisfy anyone, leav- ing mathematicians to live this adventure at their own risk and peril.” Physical magnitudes thus lose much of their significance. Therefore, it is an utter waste of time to focus on mathematical formulas alone with- Personal growth through understanding 197 out adopting the method used by great minds such as Einstein — he
