Chapter One: The scientific worldview yesterday and today

The smallest particles in our universe are atoms, God created the world in seven days, the pyramids were tombs for the pharaohs, when man dies, at the most a small heap of ashes remains and Charles Darwin explained how man was created through the evolution of species on earth. This is how the elderly of us learned it a few decades ago in school. That sounds like a perfect world, like from a fairy tale of bygone times, doesn't it? It is said that fairy tales always contain a grain of truth. That certainly applies here as well, but nothing more. Strictly speaking, a person is not in a position to describe a complete picture of the world, as it describes all the tangible parts of a reality, which in turn is more than the sum of its individual parts. Since humans can only perceive a tiny section of the very large universe and only limited information filtered by the brain is available, they live in a subjective reality that probably has very little to do with the objective world.

We will deal with this more intensively in this book. The world does not stop. Theories that are no longer tenable disappear like cultures from ancient times in the fog. Great researchers from various fields of science keep presenting us with new approaches to the nature of our world and inexorably approaching a greater truth and reality. But what did it look like in the last 100 years? In physics, the Danish physicist Nils Bohr developed the model of the electron, which orbits an atomic nucleus, as early as 1913. According to this, atoms consist of protons and neutrons as well as electrons circling in orbit and rotating around themselves. Claus Jönsson carried out the double slit experiment with electrons in 1962 (Thomas Young did this with light as early as 1802) and one of the findings was that it is maximally possible to determine the probability of the position of an electron at a certain point in time. Atoms with their electrons show up one time as a wave and another time as solid matter particles. Depending on whether they are observed or measured, they materialize or disappear again into the »non-locality« of all waves, so to speak into the quantum space, from which we can assume that everything there is connected in a mysterious way. Elementary particle physics was born and since then it has combined its knowledge in a standard model. It tries to explain the structure of matter in our universe with the tiniest of particles. If we look at the developments in quantum physics over the past few decades, we are currently experiencing a paradigm shift towards a completely new worldview. Between 1963 and 1965 the physicist André Petermann and around the same time Murray Gell-Mann developed the model of the quarks. Protons and neutrons would be composed of even smaller particles - that was the view at the time, for which Murray received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1969. This then completely new knowledge changed our view of the world by another small bit and was still a snapshot and by no means the last word on the subject. All in all, the world turned out to be relatively simple at first: Our universe seemed to consist of a few billion galaxy clusters and huge empty spaces in between, and it was similar in the microcosm. Enormous distances between atomic nuclei and electrons with a gaping void between them dominated the imagination of the great thinkers. Somehow everything seemed like a quietly ticking clockwork, beautifully calculable and predictable. Einstein would certainly have liked this model had it not been for the »spooky action at a distance,« as he himself called it, which only conjured up the beginning of the end of a scientific era. The British natural scientist Charles Darwin had made a name for himself in the natural sciences with his theory of evolution by describing the origin of species and a possible development of earthly man in his work in 1859, well, I would say, in »an understandable way«. The fact that humans should descend from apes may initially have been a shock for many, as we humans had already chosen ourselves as the »crown of creation« on the evolutionary ladder of life. And now that! Eventually we came to terms with the idea that we and our close relatives had to have at least the same roots. But Darwin was also aware of the limits of his theoretical model and so he asked himself: »If the species have developed in small steps from other species, why don't we find countless specimens of the transitional forms in the many layers of the earth's crust?«

Around 160 years have now passed since 1859, the numerous transitional forms were never found, and under »the pressure to succeed« many a found skeleton or artifact that was supposed to provide evidence of Darwin's theory turned out to be simply a fake. What remains to this day is a school system that still teaches Darwinism and marginalizes an intelligent designer or creator who deliberately plans life. In Catholic religious instruction, however, the priests preached to us that, according to Genesis, God created the world in seven days and man on the sixth day of creation. Mmh … just the opposite of what Darwin was trying to convey. Now who was right, Darwin or Moses? These were the important questions for me during my school days, which I tried to fathom in my further life. My childish mind just wanted one honest, truthful answer and kept asking itself: Who or what is man? Where are we from? What is life? How can life arise from dead matter? What is the difference between something that lives and something that does not live? Does a stone also have a kind of life in it? Why do we sleep at night? Is there any extraterrestrial life? What is awareness? What is the reason for our existence? Is there a kind of consciousness even in apparently lifeless manifestations like crystals? And how could a primordial cell have come into being that lived and reproduced itself when its constituents, the amino acids, are considered inanimate? Is there a multiverse? What if we die? Is there a soul? And is there life before birth? Does consciousness invigorate matter?

The world of physics is still concerned with apparently lifeless things, our biologists, on the other hand, only with what is alive, and the humanities with religious, intellectual, media and cultural phenomena. What is information, what are mind and consciousness and in which scientific field do they find their place? Who can bridge the gap between these scientific disciplines? Will physics, biology and our humanities enter into a symbiosis at the round table of knowledge in the future when we discover that spirit and matter can no longer be separated for an explanation of the world? A large part of our physical reality is still hidden from us and the area of subtle matter is only just becoming an object of research. Consciousness and spirit produce life and represent the driving intelligent forces behind all life. Scientists from all disciplines who discover new things in as yet unexplored areas act as a link for a holistic theory of the big picture and thus work on a completion of our subjective view of the world.

We have been a spaceflight nation for over 50 years and live in a high-tech world. At the same time, we still know far too little about ourselves. How can this be explained? If you look at the traditions of ancient writings from the earliest past, you get the impression that well-founded knowledge about our planet, people and the world was available many thousands of years ago, but wiped out possibly through natural disasters such as ice ages, comet impacts, pole shifts and the flood about 13,000 years ago. Evidence of this can be found scattered across our planet. The countless pyramids in Egypt, China, Latin America and Iran as well as the huge megaliths weighing up to 200 tons that were built into buildings are evidence of this, as are the Nazcar lines, the neatly cut huge blocks of stone around the world and the deep drilled holes and milled edges in some of the hardest rocks such as diorite. Core drillings, as can be found on the statue of King Chephren, as well as the perfectly fitting stone walls of Pumapunku in Tiahuanaco or the finds of giant skeletons, long skulls and extraordinary old relics and artifacts put our ancestors in a completely different light than that of the club-armed stone age people. The Internet is full of information about it, but separating the wheat from the chaff, that is, distinguishing genuine from falsified information, is extremely difficult. What cannot be classified in our current historical model is quickly sorted out, dismissed as a forgery, ignored or disappears in the cellars of museums or private collectors. Many people have never heard of such things in their lives or do not want to bother with them. They probably like to stick to the ideology of a heliocentric worldview that declares the earth to be the centre of the universe, but they presume to be opinion leaders for our future worldview. Take a look at the following picture: a monolith in Lebanon lying there as if it had simply been forgotten at some point, far from its final destination. Even with today's technology and special cranes, we humans would not be able to easily transport this 1,650-tonne monolith over long distances. Which technologies were used here? How could these be cut, hewn and transported with such ease thousands of years ago? And who needed these huge monoliths, since it is well known that large buildings can also be built with smaller stones?

Were the angels and sons of the gods at work here, as described in the Bible in the book of Enoch? Or the Annunaki, which are handed down in the 22,000 Sumerian clay tablets in cuneiform script over 6,000 years ago - those gods from prehistoric times who inhabited the Mesopotamia between the Euphrates and the Tigris, the home of the Sumerians, a culture that dates back 4,000 years BC. and built temples and villages?

Thousands of years ago, the human mind accomplished things that we would struggle to imitate using the most modern tools and technologies. Was our past perhaps very different from what we are told? Or did we just forget? Questions upon questions! And so I got older and older and got no real answers to many of them. On the contrary - my questionnaire grew and grew and only a few people were able to give me satisfactory, understandable answers, at least at times. So I started to get first-hand information and to shape my worldview through personal experiences and insights, true to the motto »Only believe what you have heard, seen and experienced yourself.«

Now let's begin to learn who or what we actually are. Do you feel like it? Then let's start with some theory.

Have fun.
