The secular

Month, Day: Light, Questions (Independence)

We're to be a-political, yet one has to wonder if any religious view can be sufficient for operational efficiencies that respect everyone. So, given recent events (and a must-see movie), a secular opinion or two seemed to be in order.

Yet, they will relate to Light. Look at this WSJ article ("Why the Eyes Have it", 09/19/2009) that raises questions (of course, Fridays seem to allow philosophical musings to come around the walls of control) about human capability. We process what we get from light via the eyes in a 1/10th of a second. Ah, such facility is one of several that we've received from our Creator.

In one of the working schemes, theorists propose and hope that someone can "design experiments that might render a decisive verdict" and that we can overcome our limits that result from underdetermination.

This latter we ought to know from the Writings. But, the questions remain in the context of audacity as to how theory can be influenced by the Writings. Let us count the ways.

Remarks:

12/19/2009 -- The Doctor Who Defied Tehran.

07/26/2009 -- Being secular creates dependencies that run counter to our goals, that is they try to thwart the sword.
