>harry, the split between science and metaphysics is fairly recent >in human history. Yeah and guess for what reason huh ? >Many of the greatest minds in history were very metaphysical. It seems that it is a criteria for you to be classified in greatest minds ? And of course if you refer to the past where metaphisics and science were mixed of course ALL of them where metaphysicist since science didn't exist yet haha ! > lately science appears to be agreeing more and more with >metaphysics. Tss tss, the greeks have IMAGINED the atom concept 2000 before science discovered it does it mean that quantum physics was attributed to the greeks ? What they imagine came from their imagination, but it was just simplist model of course. And don't take this as a proof that mystics are great scientists since you can take all the other ideas from the mystics which were completely wrong ! It's just a question of statistic among all mystic ideas sure there will be one elected to be near modern physics. >If that bothers you it just shows your predjudices, nothing more. What bothers me is that the world is going crazy because of these mysticism ! Science has now been captured by raellien, scientologs and other mystics to justify their ideology when not their crimes ! And as I made a model of stock market that can demonstrate I can affirm that this market is manipulated by an artificial equation that is nothing but natural ! So pretending that market follows natural law makes me laugh ! And as an argument this is silly you could replace natural law by God, venus planet or even a PACK OF MILK since it doesn't justify anything scientifically than just affirming natural law ! harry, the split between science and metaphysics is fairly recent in human history. Many of the greatest minds in history were very metaphysical. lately science appears to be agreeing more and more with metaphysics. If that bothers you it just shows your predjudices, nothing more.

There is a lot of discussion - on this board and elsewhere - that really could be eliminated with a good study of the principles, starting with the references I supplied. IMHO one of the problems with QM and related knowledge like information theory, chaotic dynamics etc. is that popular books really dont help much with understanding. Granted, the authors sell a few books but these are areas that really require study in order to have a productive discussion of these ideas. .. Yes these are college text books ... Keep in mind that many college professors that teach QM - and I am talking about some big name schools - do not have the deepest understanding of the ideas. These are fields in which many people claim authority but only a few are actually expert. If you really want to have an understanding of these things then there really is no substitute for hard work. As far as their applicability to the markets ... IMHO there are only a few things that you can directly apply, and these are more mathematical techniques or subsidiary ideas. Unless you are working on some heavy duty research most of these ideas are far removed from everyday experience ....
well said CalTrader, my sentiments exactly. those here that claim otherwise are CRANKS. i never cease to be amazed at the gullibilty and distinct lack of critical thinking skills even among successful traders.
Then if you are mystic this is for you: http://www.1ebooks.com/creator/ This guy is pretending having discovered God's formula hahaha ! Is this science ? No it is numerology not rationality which is the core of science ! It is then a question of faith ! You can have faith but don't mix Faith with science for then will you believe him without ANY PROOF when he is affirming this ?!!! http://www.asksollog.com/2003/0331.shtml "Question from Lucia an Ask Sollog Fan Hi Sollog, âWhat is the most effective action that can be taken by the populations of the world who are trying to stop this war in Iraq? Is this the third world war, and nothing can stop it?â Answer from Sollog Greetings, The 911 attacks on the USA are considered in the future to be THE START OF WORLD WAR III The INVASIONS of Afghanistan and Iraq by the United States are seen as TRIGGERS to unite the Muslim world against Western Civilization and particularly against Christianity. No one can stop what has already occurred. Great prophets have seen this time throughout time. It is a horrific time. Billions will soon be dead from disease, warfare and violent earth changes. The ONLY THING anyone can do is to stay away from the major targets. These are heavily populated areas around the world. By 2020 if you do not live in the high mountains of Asia, Canada and South America you will most likely be dead! " I won't believe him rather I will believe in this OFFICIAL PUBLICATION FROM ROCKFELLER'S FUNDATION and that I BELIEVE BECAUSE IT IS MATERIAL TANGIBLE FACT !: "As per a recent advertisement Foreign Affairsâa prestigious political periodical published by the David Rockefeller directed Council on Foreign Relationsâthe U.S. population is being targeted for a 50% reduction.

The greatest scientific minds of the 20th Century (Bohr, Oppenhiemer, Einstein, Heisenberg, etc.) all realized that essentialy what they were doing was refining ancient wisdom from both the east and the west. Pick up a copy of Heraclitus (west) or Lao-Tzu (east) and then make a genuine, albeit laymen attempt to understand some of the concepts quantumn physics is 'bringing forth' and you will not be able to seperate the two. PEACE and good-trading, Commisso
Ancient ideas are just that: they perhaps motivated many to pursue these ideas. If you study how the field developed what you find is that these people were focused on providing answers to questions that were raised from experiment. They were less interested in subsidiary issues although things like political strife etc influenced the schedule of their work. Very little of it is mystical and most of it was the result of hard work, perseverance, and a bit of luck and political wrangling within the theory community at the time ....
So what ? When I discovered my equations I couldn't do it by syllogism because syllogism is not enough - if so just take a Cray and the whole laws of Universe would be discovered mechanically - I have to IMAGINE FISRT: this stage is not Science because you can imagine everything but after you have to prove it and in the paths you will fail numerous times before finding something that you can prove SCIENTIFICALLY ! So don't mix the inspiration which can be anything with science ! I am not saying that Science has answer to everything, in fact I am saying the contrary: Science can't answer to every question SO YOU MUST NOT ASK SCIENCE TO JUSTIFY WHAT IS UNJUSTIFIABLE JUST TO MAKE BELIEVE IN YOUR MYSTIC THING WHICH I CONSIDER AS CHARLATANISM ! With time some ideas will be justified but you have to wait that time for it to become science. Of course there can be advanced research or technologies that have been covered up like cinema techniques in the past (the Lumiere have been ridiculised for example, and it is said today by an ex-secret agent that cold fusion is also ridiculised so that people will not suspect that THERE IS IN FACT NO ENERGY PROBLEM AND THAT OVERPOPULATION PROBLEM IS A MANIPULATION !
