D. Let’s Build a Robust Theory Step by Step
a. Start with your experiences
Your life is run by your experiences, feelings, and observations. These form a pattern of life. These patterns are repeated throughout the life. No one else, including your government, has gone through the same experience of life, because every human being is different.
Therefore, whenever you want to solve a problem or want to make a future decision, do not start with the problem, but rather jolt down your experiences. You want to develop a theory that should be able to explain more than 99.99% of your experinces.
Let’s say that you have observed the following phenomenon:
- A very fat person was very lazy and hardly did any work. Then he exercised, got leaner, and now he is very energetic.
- Once you used to be under tremendous stress. Then you left your friends and relatives behind, and now you are feeling less stressed.
- Whenever you were highly stressed, you had less sleep, then when the stress got resolved you experienced hyper-urination, also your sleep improved.
- Even though you want a stable, peaceful and settled life, whenever challenges are low, you feel dead.
(Random Observation Set for model testing)
What is interesting about these sets of observations is that they appear random, meaningless, and uncorrelated. So we always try to find a meaning of why we are witnessing or experiencing what we are experiencing.
Every day, we may have tens of hundreds of new experiences, and if we are to add all these experiences from the beginning of our lives, then the memory of our brain will run out of the cells. But, if we understand the meaning, then our brain can only remember the model and can find the meaning of any observations with that model.
Therefore, we don’t have to remember the independent experiences, the only thing we have to do is remember the model and then validate our observations against the model. If an existing model in the brain can not explain a new experience or observation, then only the event/experience/observation will be stored in the brain. And only when many such observations that we have not found any meaning are stored in the brain, the brain will look for the new model.
b. 7-Rules for developing a robust model
We know that if a model is consistent over space and time, then that model is invariably a good model because we experience and sense any events within the fabric of space and time.
- If a model is made out of fundamental principles of physics, then the model will be a robust model. This is because the principles of physics(such as gravity, force, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, etc) remain consistent across the universe, which is far larger a space than planet Earth.
- If a model can explain an evolutionary phenomenon and a historical phenomenon, then it will be robust in time.
- Once a model becomes robust enough to explain evolution and history, it should be capable of explaining events from other areas of life, and recent events because the past and the present are connected through time fabric, and different areas of life work on a similar principle, as they are also part of the space-time fabric.
- A model is robust if it can also explain the counter-experience or the opposite experience.
- If a model can be constructed by combining the principles of physics with mathematics, then the model will be a robust model, because only mathematical principles hold true over both space and time dimensions, and only mathematics can combine space and time. Mathematical constants such as Pi, hold across space and time up to 8th decimal point precision.
- The model must be really simple because the laws of the universe are really simple. (That means the model must not take one page of mathematical equation to justify).
- Once a model is verified, it must be convertible into a simple non-scientific, and non-mathematical statement for even a child to understand.
If a model is not developed using a fixed set of rules, and if the rules themselves are not rational, then irrespective of the number of good theories that the model is created from, the model will always fail.
c. A simple robust model to explain our random observations.
Because the phenomenon of the fabric of space-time can be best explained by Einstein’s theory of relativity, we can start with his Energy model, as all human beings(as well as other life forms) are run by energy through the process of metabolism.
E=mC2 (1)
or
E ∝ m (1b)
Where E is energy, m is the mass of an object, and C is the speed of life, which is constant 3x108 m/sBecause Gravity is consistent across the universe and can travel across space and time, let us take our second theory from gravity.
W=m.g (2)
Where, w is the weight in Kg, m is the mass and g is the gravity in a place.Any work is carried out by utilizing energy to develop a force and applying the force. The law of thermodynamics suggests that “Energy can neither be created, nor destroyed, it can just be transformed from one form to another.”
F=m.a (3)
E=F.d (4)
Where, F is Force, m is the mass, and a is acceleration, d is distance.That’s it, we have connected energy, gravity, space, and time. It is time for us to test the model with our example experiences.
