Is the Age of Big Bang Cosmology and ‘the Science of Scarcity’ Finally Coming to an End?
___
Arguing against the prevailing "closed system" scientific worldview that views the universe as governed by scarcity and entropy. The author, drawing upon the work of Vladimir Vernadsky, presents a "open system" perspective that sees the universe as a living and evolving entity, characterized by growth, creativity, and the potential for the human species to "bend" the flow of time and space through creative action. This perspective is contrasted with the "closed system" worldview of big bang cosmology, which suggests that the universe is finite and will eventually succumb to heat death. The text explores the work of Halton Arp and Alexander Gurwitsch, who challenge the prevailing cosmological models and provide evidence for a universe characterized by life, growth, and a potential for greater understanding.
