Primordial gravitational wave discovery heralds 'whole new era' in physics
Gravitational waves could help unite general relativity and quantum mechanics to reveal a 'theory of everything'

We all know this empirically: When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
So in the case of modern science (particularly the theoretical), when all you have is mathematics, every problem becomes mathematical.
Maybe we're missing the bigger picture as a result of the limitations of our tools?

That's pretty much how I see the "new age" movement, it's an attempt to recreate what people got out of religion (i.e., sense of objective meaning and purpose in life) through the language of science.
The idea that there is no meaning outside of that invented by humans scares the shit out of people, so they try to recreate it, through appeal to new age spirituality, nature, cosmic consciousness, etc.

^ this also goes back to platonic aesthetics. Everything should be simple once distilled to it's fullest. e=mc^2, d=v*t, etc.
Maybe that's just an opinion and that guiding principle causes us to discount solutions that are more complex only because they are complex.

even relativity has his share of debunking,GeorgesIV - if there wasn't debunking and questioning, then it would just be a belief system ;)monospaced

Ukit2, I agree. Whatever happened before the Big Bang is speculation. What I disagree with is the claim that the explanation can only be described within the boundaries of scientific materialism. Which several people contributing to this thread have admitted to agreeing with.
Multiverses, other dimensions etc are all valid theories, each with their own uniquely challenging claims. It's a tall order to expect a species like ours who are only aware of what we can measure to comprehend accurately the nature of the universe. It's like asking a raisin in a wedding cake to describe every aspect of what the cake 'is'.
That's why I believe it's worth investigating all phenomena that humans experience without prejudice. What if?

The subconscious mind is the frontier for undiscovered abilities and knowledge. For instance:
Human perception isn't as limited as many believe. The subconscious can perceive frequencies from the subsonic, to as high as 400,000 hertz.
Hypnotized subjects call recall events in stunning clarity, down to the most minute detail.
What is commonly known is that a person on the verge of death sees their entire life displayed before them in what seems to be an instant.
Discover the purpose for these phenomena and you might have a clearer understanding of what our function truly is.
We may already hold answers to which our current versions of reality aren't prepared to explain, unless our societies can accept fundamental and permanent change.

- I guess the question would be just how close to the verge one really is, and their awareness of such.ZOOP
