An insurmountable mountain of facts may cloud the deep issues
Most scholars agree When Isaac Newton formulated the laws of motion and gravity and invented the infinitesimal calculus at the end of the 17th century, he probably knew everything there was to know in the world of science at that time. In the last 350 years, about 50 million research articles and countless books have been published in the natural sciences and mathematics. Today's high school students may have more scientific knowledge than Newton had, yet many believe that science is an insurmountable mountain of facts.
One of the ways scientists deal with this mountain is through ever-increasing specialization. This approach yielded only partial success. As a biologist by training, I don't expect to understand more than the first two sentences of a physics paper. Even articles dealing with the immune system or cell biology are difficult for me to understand, and even certain articles in my field of specialization - neurobiology. It seems that my field of expertise is getting narrower day by day. So the scientists had to adopt a different strategy to deal with the mountain of information: we just usually ignore it.
There is no wonder in this; There is no doubt that you need to know a lot to be a scientist, but the very broad knowledge is not what makes us scientists. To be a scientist you also have to be ignorant. It may sound ridiculous, but for a scientist the facts are only a starting point. In science, every new discovery raises 10 new questions, as the playwright George Bernard Shaw argued in a pointed toast at a dinner held in honor of Albert Einstein.
According to this calculation, ignorance will always outgrow knowledge. Both scientists and laymen will agree that despite everything we already know, there is much more that we do not know. Furthermore, every day we Discover More and more things we don't know. One of the most important results of science is the production of new and better types of ignorance: it is not ignorance from a lack of curiosity or a lack of education, but a cultivated, high-quality ignorance. This is related to the essence of the scientists' occupation: the distinction between different types of ignorance. They do it in grant applications and conversations over a glass of beer. As James Clerk Maxwell, who was perhaps the greatest physicist in the period between Newton and Einstein, said: "Conscious ignorance up front... is the bedrock of all real progress in the world of knowledge."
Such a view of science, which emphasizes the questions more than the answers, is to some extent a thought that causes relief. With this approach, science becomes less intimidating, friendlier, and even actually fun. Science becomes a series of elegant puzzles, and puzzles within puzzles. And who doesn't like puzzles? The questions are often more accessible and interesting than the answers. Answers are usually the end of the process, while the questions put us at the heart of things. A large part of the field of immunology is beyond my understanding, even though I have a prestigious doctorate, but it is wonderful that a large part of immunology is also beyond the understanding of most immunologists - there are no longer people who know everything. What's more, I can understand the questions that preoccupy immunology. And despite my meager understanding of quantum physics, I can understand how and where the questions arise in this field and why they are so fundamental and deep. Emphasizing ignorance is inclusive; It causes a feeling of equality with others, similar to how in front of the vast expanses of space we all feel equally small.
Recently, this aspect of the world of science has been pushed to the back of the public consciousness, and at the forefront of the stage is the concept that I call "cumulative", that is, that science is a huge pile of facts, which we will never be able to master. But if the scientists would talk about the questions instead of boring them to death with sheets upon sheets of professional language, and if the media would report not only on new discoveries but also on the questions that these discoveries answered and the new questions that arose as a result, and if the educators would stop wasting facts that are already on Wikipedia, then Perhaps the public will return to be interested in the great adventure that has been unfolding for 15 generations.
So please don't ask the scientist what she knows, but what she wants to know. That way the conversation with her will be more beneficial for both of you.

Recommendation for receiving the Nobel Prize, according to 2 criteria accepted for the prize.
1: Extraordinary research,
2: Initial invention of equipment or technology.
The extraordinary research disproves an ancient mathematical truth of thousands of years, which said:
For any size of a circle - (from a diameter of zero mm, to a diameter of infinite mm)
There is a single pi number and it is slightly larger than 3.14
It should be remembered that pi number of a circle is obtained,
From the millimeter length of the circumference of the circle (partial) the millimeter length of the diameter of the circle.
If the idea of a single pi number is correct, then the following equation follows from it.
The number expressing the ratio of the lengths of the diameters of two selected circles,
must be (exactly equal) to the number expressing the ratio of the lengths of the circumferences of the circles.
But if the idea of the only number is not true, then the number expressing the ratio of the lengths of the diameters of two selected circles, (is not equal) to the number expressing the ratio of the lengths of their circumferences.
Obviously, this inequality will be tiny, but it will exist without a shadow of a doubt.
Since there is no mathematical calculation capable of deciding between the two options, I came up with the idea of inventing a mechanical device - which would decide between the two options by way of a practical experiment, which includes a very, very precise measurement.
20 years passed before I invented this device, and it was named the scope.
The measurement description of the scope appears in the video.
The scope works with actual circuits that appear in very precise steel cylinders.
The diameter of the rolls is 120 mm and 2 mm.
The ratio of the lengths of the diameters is 60, and the circumference revealed that the ratio of the lengths of the circumferences is 59.958
This result means that the scope is a very accurate measuring device.
This result also means that the idea of a single pi number suitable for all circles is incorrect.
The scope experiment was published in 2017, and not a single mathematician was found who accepted it.
Nor was there a single mathematician who was willing to repeat the scope experiment.
The mathematicians were probably offended by the rejection of the idea of a single pi number suitable for all circles, and they chose to mock and disparage the circumference experiment.
This is how mathematics lost the possibility of imparting to science a new geometry of circles.
In this geometry, each size of a circle has a private pi number, and an infinity of these private pi numbers are in a very narrow numerical range between 3.14 and 3.16. In this geometry, there is also a formula, which allows a transition from a millimeter diameter of a circle, to a private pi number of the circle.
But mathematics preferred to ignore the circumference experiment and its dramatic result, and continued to teach students the lie of a single pi number that fits all circles.
A Nobel Prize can dispel the lie of a single pi number, and it will also change the study of mathematics and geometry throughout the world. Anyone can recommend receiving a Nobel Prize.
The scope experiment and its result deserve a Nobel Prize.
A. Asbar
Asbar is looking for a brave mathematician who is willing to betray what he was taught, and declare that pi is not constant in all circles.
Asbar is looking for a brave-hearted physicist who is ready to betray everything he was taught, and will say
1: Newton was wrong, and matter has no gravity.
2: The substance is continuous, and is not made up of particles.
3: Infinite space is not empty, and is full of passive time which is absolute rest.
3: All the stars of the universe move by themselves, in a spiral-shaped orbit.
Those who are willing to betray everything they have been taught will give the world a new physics and a new geometry.

Parashat Bereshit of the exact sciences
The Genesis chapter of the exact sciences explicitly states:
To present a true description of physical reality, it is necessary to use the ideas of divine creation, and the natural knowledge of man.
A true description of physical reality will begin like this.
Genesis 5 God created "continuous quantitative things"
The hallmark of a continuous quantitative thing (dkr) is simple.
Whatever quantity we choose from the list, we will always find that in reality there is a larger quantity, and a smaller quantity.
Any quantity that is chosen from the table, it is between a zero quantity and an infinite quantity.
With the natural knowledge of man we will arrive at these five dachars.
Energy, time, length, area and volume.
Energy and time create the science of physics
Area length and volume, form the science of geometry.
Geometry and physics are the exact sciences, because they deal with quantities between zero and infinite quantities.
The science of physics appeared after the empty infinite space was filled by two continuous quantitative things, namely energy and passive time.
Passive time is absolute rest and absolute cold, and it fills the infinite space.
Passive time is at complete rest, and is the medium in which waves of passive time move. These waves transmit sunlight.
Passive time is a new and revolutionary physical concept, and it exists right in physical reality. On the other hand, the time we all know does not exist in physical reality, and it disappears as soon as you think about it. This elusive time was invented by man for their benefit, and the proper name for it is ...active time.
Poetic cosmology - from the wonders of passive time
The passive time envelops us, and we move through it.
I asked him and I didn't answer,,,,wait a little while he said
who are you i asked
I am the passive time, I belong to nature, I lead the light and color
Where are you the hard,…
I fill the terrible space, and it is now full of a river.
The energy is also with me, its power is beyond words, and together we create the material.
I know the stuff, I said, I touched it and it's right here.
You will not be able to touch me, but inside me you are free to move.
Are you really time? After all, the time I know always flies away.
I'm always here, I'm not a guest
I am the real time, and the energy is always with me.
Parashat Beresheit of the exact sciences geometry and physics
The chapter on the beginning of the exact sciences continues as follows:
After the infinite space was filled with passive energy and time, the stars were formed. The matter of the stars is formed by combining amounts of passive time and energy.
The matter of the stars is continuous, and has no gravity.
Combinations of amounts of passive time and energy created the familiar elements
Like, gold, carbon, iron and more. Any such conjunction is a physical form, and therefore
Matter is not a quantitative concept. A geometric shape is also not a quantitative concept, because it is formed by combining quantities of a closed length containing a quantity of area.
The concepts of geometric shape and physical shape always go together.
Geometry and physics are the two exact sciences, and the tangible and clear geometry provides clues about the mysterious physics.. Geometry always links us to the concept of form, and physics always links us to the concept of movement.
And so the chapter of Genesis of the exact sciences continues.
And God will instill eternal movement in every star, and Noah's star does not exist in reality.
The name of the collection of ever-moving stars is a universe.
The shape of the orbit of the stars of the universe is helical (neither straight nor round)
It is the Borgian orbit of the stars of the universe that allows their integration into a single division that is always moving.
A screw track has two data - diameter, and advance angle.
To complete the creation of the universe, it was necessary for the universe to obey a divine law.
And God established the law of conservation of the amount of energy in the universe, and this law ensured the eternal existence of the universe.
Everything said here about the universe is not accepted by the scientific establishment.
Today's scientists believe in the existence of a completely different universe, which is Newton's universe. Newton's universe is in infinite empty space, and this universe is dominated by crude and simple mechanical gravity.
The idea of gravity was given to the world by Newton 330 years ago.
Newton believed that there was a mysterious and wonderful force emanating from the depths of the earth, and that its whole function was to knock down objects that fell from our hands.
Such a mysterious force brings the reader into the world of fairy tales, and the imagination gives this force the image of a friendly, invisible demon.
Newton gave this demon the nice name "gravitational force".
Amazingly, Newton carried many believers in the idea of gravity after him, and thus began a strange investigation of physical reality, which contains a mysterious demon.
Why did Newton invent the delusional idea of gravity.
Newton did not know that objects that were handed out of our hands fall by themselves, and thus they fulfill a wonderful physical law of nature, which is the law of conservation of energy. This law of conservation was accepted in science only 170 years ago, and Newton obviously did not know about its existence.
And since Newton did not know that objects fall by themselves, and did not know about the existence of the law of conservation of energy, he invented the idea of gravity.
This crazy idea lasted for 160 years in all official physics curricula, thus creating a murky scientific swamp, which prevented any possibility of knowing the true structure of the universe.
Newton's murky scientific quagmire was canceled out by the physical reality that revealed to the world the existence of a miraculous quantitative law,
And it is the conservation of the amount of energy.
How is the law of conservation of energy,
Eliminates the concept of gravity.
To lift a large stone off the ground to a height of 1 meter, you have to exert yourself and get tired, and this amount of fatigue represents an amount of energy.
If we release this stone from a height of 1 meter, it will fall down by itself with increasing speed, and its impact will hit the ground. Show exactly the same amount of energy that was needed to lift the stone to a height of 1 meter.
No gravity is needed to drop the stone down, the stone falls by itself
down with increasing speed, and thus the law of conservation of energy is fulfilled.
This is how the wonderful physical reality works, and it is the one that taught scientists about the existence of an important physical law of nature - the law of conservation of energy.
There are many types of energy, and they can alternate with each other, according to this law of conservation.
Physical reality operates by itself, according to miraculous laws inherent in it, and researchers of physical reality have begun to discover these laws.
The law of conservation of energy that was discovered 170 years ago completely cancels out Newton's physics that requires gravity - and it proves that objects that are separated from our hands - fall by themselves, and there is no mysterious demon in physical reality that knocks them down..
And what turns out? For 170 years, Newton's physics has been taught in universities, and not a single teacher stood up and shouted "there is no gravity, and Newton's physics is incorrect"
It should be emphasized that Newton did not know that his physics was incorrect, but already 170 years ago, the physics teachers knew about the existence of the law of conservation of energy that eliminates the idea of gravity, but they did not find the courage to tell this to their students
These 170 unfortunate years produced terrible errors in the concept of matter and the structure of the universe, and the concepts of dark particle matter and dark energy testify to this.
The time has come to move to a different physics, based on miraculous laws inherent in physical reality. This is the real physics, and it appears in a revolutionary book - which bears the name... "Esbar's magical journey on the wings of natural knowledge"
This book conflicts with all the physical teachings developed in the last 150 years, and it presents to the world a new physics, and also a new geometry of circles.

The two sciences that are based on faith - geometry and physics
I believe that in reality there are only 5 continuous quantitative things,
And they are length, area, volume, time and energy.
A continuous quantitative thing will be denoted by the abbreviation dkr
The concepts length, area and volume form the science of geometry
The concepts time and energy create the science of physics.
Any quantity selected from a quantifier is always between zero and an infinite quantity.
Therefore, dcharim need a precise quantitative language, which will express the amount of a dchar.
This language is familiar, and it is the language of numbers.
Naturally, in the last 2000 years, people have appeared who studied the basic ideas of geometry and physics.
The study of the basic ideas of geometry was almost successful, with the exception of the variable pi idea that appears only in neural geometry.
The study of the basic ideas of physics failed completely, and the correction came with the appearance of brain physics, which is completely new, and does not rely on previous studies.

Scientific concepts have always been and always will be
The era of the collapse of conceptions has arrived
From the collapse of Netanyahu's security concept
To the collapse of Newton's scientific conception
When the guns roar the muses are silent.
This article is intended for discussion starting at 6 o'clock after the war.
The idea of gravity was given to the world by Newton 330 years ago.
Newton believed that there was a mysterious and wonderful force emanating from the depths of the earth, and that its whole function was to knock down objects that fell from our hands. Such a mysterious power brings the reader to the world of fairy tales, and the imagination gives this power the image of a friendly, invisible demon.
Newton gave this demon the soothing name "gravitational force".
Amazingly, Newton swept away many believers in the idea of gravity, and so began a strange scientific investigation of physical reality, with the physics of demons and spirits.
Why did Newton invent the delusional idea of gravity.
Newton did not know that objects that were handed out of our hands fall by themselves, and thus they fulfill a wonderful physical law of nature, which is the law of conservation of energy. This law of conservation was accepted in science only 170 years ago, and Newton obviously did not know about its existence.
And since Newton did not know that objects fall by themselves, and did not know about the existence of the law of conservation of energy, he invented the idea of gravity. This crazy idea lasted 160 years in all official physics curricula, creating a scientific quagmire
Thick and cloudy, which prevented any possibility of getting to know the true structure of the universe.
Newton's murky scientific quagmire was canceled out by physical reality that revealed to the world the existence of a miraculous quantitative law, which is the conservation of energy.
How the law of conservation of energy, eliminates the concept of gravity.
To lift a large stone off the ground to a height of 1 meter, you have to exert yourself and get tired, and this amount of fatigue represents an amount of energy.
If we release this stone from a height of 1 meter, it will fall down by itself with increasing speed, and its impact will hit the ground. Show exactly the same amount of energy that was needed to lift the stone to a height of 1 meter.
Physical reality is miraculous and works by itself, and it is she who taught scientists about the existence of an important physical law of nature - the law of conservation of energy.
There are many types of energy, and they can replace each other, according to the law of conservation of quantity. Physical reality works by itself, according to miraculous laws inherent in it, and curious researchers of physical reality began to discover these laws.

It should be emphasized that Newton did not know that his physics was incorrect, but already 170 years ago, the physics teachers knew about the existence of the law of conservation of energy which eliminates the idea of gravity, but they were afraid of the believers in the idea of gravity, and did not tell this to their students.
These 170 miserable years of fear produced terrible errors in the concept of matter and the structure of the universe, and the concepts of dark particle matter and dark energy testify to this.
Now the era of the collapse of concepts has arrived, and it is time to move to a different physics, based on miraculous laws inherent in physical reality. This is the real physics, and it appears in a revolutionary book - which bears the name - "Esbar's magical journey on the wings of natural knowledge"
This book conflicts with all the physical teachings developed in the last 150 years, and it presents to the world a new physics, and also a new geometry of circles.
In the new physics, matter is continuous and has no gravity, and the stars of the universe move in spiral orbits in space filled with passive time.
Passive time is a new type of time that exists right in physical reality, when the time we all know exists only in the human mind, and it disappears the moment you think about it.
Therefore the proper name for it is active time.

The idea of gravity was given to the world by Newton 330 years ago.
The law of conservation of energy was accepted in science 170 years ago.
The law of conservation of energy rules out the possibility that an explosive force emanating from the earth is the one that drops objects that have been released from them to the ground. Objects released from them fall by themselves from the height where they are, to the level of the earth's surface.
This free fall fulfills a law of nature, which is the law of conservation of energy.
To lift an actual body off the ground to a height of 1 meter, you have to make an effort, get tired, and this amount of fatigue represents an amount of energy.
If we release this body, it will fall down by itself with increasing speed,
And the blow of his hitting the ground will display exactly the same amount of energy.
This is how physical reality works, and it is she who taught scientists about the existence of a physical law of nature - the law of conservation of energy.
There are many types of energy, and they can replace each other, according to the law of conservation of energy.
Physical reality operates on its own freely, and it upholds a miraculous law of nature - the law of conservation of energy.
Newton did not know about the existence of this miraculous nature hook that exists in physical reality, and he thought that there was a mysterious and miraculous power emanating from the depths of the earth, and its whole function was to drop objects that were loosed from them to the ground.
Newton gave this mysterious force the name gravity.
Newton did not know that objects that were released from them fall by themselves, and thus they fulfill the law of conservation of energy, and it is clear that there is no need for a mysterious force to drop
I want them.
The law of conservation of energy completely eliminates Newton's idea of gravity, and it is time to leave Newton's physics, and move to another physics.
Newton did not know about the existence of the law of conservation of energy.
If he had known, he certainly would not have published the idea of gravity.
Newton's physics is about to be replaced by Esbar's physics. which appears in the book "The Magical Journey of Asbar on the Wings of Natural Knowledge"
A. Asbar
publication in the press
The idea of gravity was given to the world by Newton 330 years ago.
The law of conservation of energy was accepted in science 170 years ago.
The law of conservation of energy rules out the possibility that an explosive force emanating from the earth is the one that drops objects that have been released from them to the ground.
Objects that have been released from them fall by themselves from a height where they are at a lower height, and the amount of energy of the blow hitting the ground is exactly equal to the amount of energy of the height differences of the bodies.
If "gravity" exists in physical reality, then the law of conservation of energy does not exist in physical reality.
Since the law of conservation of energy exists without a shadow of a doubt in physical reality,
So gravity does not exist in physical reality.
And if gravity does not exist in physical reality, Newton's physics no longer exists.
Newton did not know about the existence of the law of conservation of energy.
If he had known, he certainly wouldn't have published the idea of gravity.
A. Asbar
Another response of mine after ignoring my previous response which claimed that there is already a new physics and a new geometry
But conventional science ignores and does not address.
The old physics is Newton's, and is based on the existence of gravity.
but
If gravity exists, then the law of conservation of energy does not exist.
Since the law of conservation of energy exists in physical reality without any doubt,
So gravity does not exist in physical reality, without a shadow of a doubt.
And if gravity does not exist in physical reality, Newton's physics does not exist in physical reality.
This empty space is filled by the physics of Asbar that appears in the book
"Esbar's magical journey on the wings of natural knowledge"
There is already a new geometry and a new physics and conventional science is not ready to accept it

To maintain the end of the deadness and astonishment from the experience into which we were suddenly thrown without being asked, before the consciousness returns as raw material to the production workshop when, along the way, it manages to leave a flicker of understanding that will pass to the next topics of life in the queue - this is perhaps the reason, the driving force to continue wondering and asking. I enjoyed the perspective
Re some now esteemed basic science concepts...:
Betrayal Of The Enlightenment Science Heritage
Three glaring examples of betrayal of the Enlightenment scientific heritage:
– The Higgs particle case: by plain common sense and data the origin of all mass in the universe is the minuscule pre-big-bang gravitons singularity...
- Life nature and genesis: by plain common sense and data life is just another mass format...
– The Genetics concepts: by plain common sense and data culture and natural selection are ubiquitous and genetics are their evolving RNA nucleotide progenies...
Dov Henis (comments from 22nd century)
http://universe-life.com/
PS:
1. Ponder why Mass = Energy at singularity…
2. Ponder that Culture is reaction-to-circumstances/drive-to-survival by ALL MASS FORMATS…
3. Ponder the implications of the various modes of cooperation in nature...
4. Ponder that Intelligence = learning from experience...
5. Ponder that in an evolving two-pole system (m/E, singularity/max expanded) there cannot be randomness...

Avi,
What questions do you think are outside the realms of science?
Nice article,
Sometimes there are people who forget the importance of asking questions, and excuse it with skepticism... They use Ockham's Razor as a pastime, and anything that is not within the scope of science, or within our current field of knowledge, is null and void with a wave of the hand...
