It is my great hope that I will find a way to inject some of those ideas into mainstream science in such a way that my colleagues cannot get around it.  At the very least I want to make sure to make it easier for the next generation of scientists to open the door to such ideas, and if I&#8217;m really lucky I&#8217;ll be able to open a door myself.  To me these ideas are very much a logical follow-up of ideas in relativity and quantum mechanics, already progressively `weird&#8217; from a linear classical perspective, but most of my colleagues seem only to accept the weirdness of the past, while somehow extrapolating only the known (non-weird) into the future . . . .<br \/>\nPiet<br \/>\nNote from shekhar :  Piet was right, scientific theorey ahs indeed moved on since Piet wrote this in July 2001.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>from shekhar to Piet : 28th July 2001 &#8221; This very moment is ALL that is real&#8221; &#8211; yes I agree, &#8211; But for you, is that scientific theorey that is current &#8211; or is it from your buddhist exploration ?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-873","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-astrophysicist"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>&#039;weird&#039; ?
