I believe that scientists and all other people should maintain a healthy skepticism of everything we think we know.
I have already written a post titled “All I have is doubt.” My conclusions from this text were that I always doubt many existential issues: Why and how we appeared in this world? What, if anything, happens with our souls after death? Is The Big Bang Theory correct? Last time I read that according to recent quantum equation models (which are consistent with Einstein’s laws), there is a possibility that there never was a creation point. What does it mean? It means that The Big Bang Theory is incorrect and that the Universe may have existed forever without beginning and end.
When I read this, I reminded myself of one of my works named “Negation of the End.” I presented there a neverending continuity regarding showing my pictures. By the way, isn’t the infinite eternity a divine sign of perfection? I know that we have a limited ability to understand most of the processes that rule the Universe. Thus, we should maintain a healthy skepticism towards many already known laws., e.g., those connected with astrophysics.
We can be as myopic as most astronomers of one hundred years ago for whom the solar system was the only planetary system. Moreover, they though that the Milky Way was the only existing galaxy.
They merely knew it. Today we know that there billions of planetary systems and galaxies. Thus, how can we be sure that there is only one Universe and dimension? For me, the most intriguing, unbelievable thing would be if science would prove that there infinite numbers of Universes and dimensions. That’s why I always try to provide healthy skepticism towards everything I read and hear. People who are starting to analyze a problem with conviction finish with a doubt. But, those who begin examining an issue with suspicion can end their analysis with certainty.
