CHAPTER Constraint and freedom: from separation to oneness dimensional vision of time is that an increased time density gives us more freedom, whereas universal information converges in complex systems. However, the presence of space between time quanta means that the law of cause-effect prevails because temporal leaps are larger. Inversion becomes impossible. Objects become tangible. As you can see, we are faced with a surprising, progressive duality that was how- ever, well-known in ancient mysticism: constraint/separation versus freedom/oneness. Contemporary science is founded on causality and therefore on the reproducibility of phenomena. This is true for the physical world of classical mechanics, but the degrees of freedom in quantum mechanics are much larger. The “evidence” is thus based on physical laws allow- ing for the reproducibility that we have already characterized as one of the terms of the scientific paradox. In addition, establishing proof requires the validation of measuring instruments manufactured in accordance with confirmed laws instead of potentially new physical laws. It so happens that these measuring instruments are part of the macroscopic world of man and of its causal consequences. It is a vicious circle. To establish the reality of a phenomenon, we use instru- ments that can only refute it when it is governed by unknown laws, or rather when it is acausal from our physical point of view. However, sci- entists acknowledge the vulnerability of proof as it is historically untrue to argue that it can be absolute. The person refuting the facts is actually responsible for delivering the proof. The law of large numbers, e.g., when it comes to paranormal phenomena, provides very strong evidence. This is not a matter of belief, but of fact and therefore of logic. 229 A REMARKABLE THING ABOUT THIS three-
