Future Science and Religion

These ideas started making themselves at home in my brain 30 or 40 years ago. But the ideas' arrivals have been much more detailed and frequent since I discovered the science preprint site vixra.org at the start of 2012 ("Preprint" means articles with uscientific content can be posted on the website before they're published in a printed journal).

Please note -
1) This is a collection of writings, each of which is designed to be self-contained to a large degree. Therefore, a lot of repetition will occur with some ideas.
2) They're presented in reverse chronological order - the most recent writings are offered first.
3) This book is just a sample of my ideas from the last two years. If you'd like to read other thoughts, or are interested in their development from earlier ideas, please go to http://vixra.org/author/rodney_bartlett or http://vixra.freeforums.org/search.php?author_id=105&sr=posts or http://orcid.org/0000-0003-2240-3743
4) My planned publisher tells me books by Australian and Commonwealth writers can't contain images unless the author has proof that they come from the public domain - nor can they contain the briefest quote unless written permission* is obtained. So I eventually decided to sever ties with that publisher, and to write the book my way. I can include quotes now but still have tons of trouble with images. The smartphone I'm using has a mind of its own about positioning images.

* Seeking permissions doesn't appeal to me because I suspect people will take that as an opportunity to ask for money. (Publishing this book might be seen as asking for money, but that isn't my purpose at all. I simply want the ideas in the book to get some recognition.) I believe the future of money is finite. The engineers who build the first interstellar and intergalactic spaceships will be immensely grateful. If money was a factor, even travelling outside a home galaxy would be virtually impossible due to the extraordinary cost. Money has been a necessity for thousands of years on earth. But thankfully, it’ll become as extinct as the dinosaurs and humans will be free to explore the cosmos. I think this is how the world could get rid of the almighty dollar –

People might realize that although they have to continually improve their standard of living, they don’t have to rely on money to improve their lives. They could search within themselves and unearth the noble trait of self-sacrifice. This allows them to make compromises with one another, ensuring the raising of living standards via cooperation. Not only would this cooperation free humans to explore anywhere and anywhen in space and time; cooperation could rid the world of war, violence and every form of crime.

This sounds impossibly idealistic and incredibly naive. But humans have the potential to rise above their petty selfishness and narrow-mindedness. The day will come when we do it!

I'm not a professional of any kind - just your average citizen, with a burning desire to understand how everything works (my main interest is cosmology).* I can't say I've been originating the ideas presented here. My feeling as I typed these thoughts has always been that they already exist (though, since physics' Unification appears to connect every point and time in the Cosmos, not on early 21st-century Earth in every case). And I'm just a student, learning about them. If you can't explain something to a six year old, you don't understand it yourself. Since part of me takes the last sentence literally, I avoid equations and jargon as much as possible and prefer to write clearly in plain English.

* Admitting that I'm not a professional scientist might discourage those who are professional scientists from taking my writing seriously. They should keep the following words said in 2015 by scientist Professor Neil Turok in mind - "We need a very different view of basic physics. This is the time for radical, new ideas." He believes this is a great time in human history for the revolution. to occur.
