Comunications Science or religion!
Is there a difference?
Perhaps the process of cognition evolved as individual human sounds became
words which led to the formation of images in memory corresponding to their
semantic content. Gradually the range of objects and phenomena associated with
specific words widened, and then the shades of meaning of individual words
began to expand. Now human beings use so many words with a range of meanings
that vary with the context in which they are used, that conveying the same
meaning of words, even in the same context, has became one of the most
difficult problems in communications between people, including scientists. The
capacity of words to evoke a range of concepts may be compared with the
frequency range of electromagnetic oscillations.
There are words whose meanings are very specific, having the least conceptual
capacity, such as point, line, triangle, angle... on one end of the scale and
tremendously capacious words like life, science, happiness, freedom, matter,
universe....on the other end. It is clear that the notional capacity of any
word is closely connected with its intrinsic specificity and hence with a
common understanding of its content. Therefore as the notional capacity of a
word increases the more difficult it becomes to precisely perceive its intended
meaning, and as a result each individual forms his own shades of understanding
of words, even within the same context.
This inevitably results in divergent comprehension of the meanings of the same
words. This phenomenon clearly affects our ability to achieve precise mutual
understanding between scientists using words of different notional capacity in
their scientific communications.
The most effective mutual understanding is observed among mathematicians
dealing with the same problems. It is an effect of the (usually) small notional
capacity of the words and symbols used by mathematicians. Physics is considered
to rank the second in this respect among the exact sciences, as it uses more
capacious terminology than mathematics.
Therefore specific mutual understanding is somewhat more difficult to achieve
between physicists than mathematicians [8,9]. Prof. Kanarev
These observations should be proclaimed above every chat list. He goes on to
say,
"This phenomenon is exacerbated by the fact that the building of physics has
become so large and multi-storied that semantic orientation within it becomes
ever more difficult."
Might I say that with respect to Scriptural or religious discussions, this
communicatuion would be enormously more exacerbated than any?
So folks , Its not my fault at all. Stop blaming ME! I'm a good boy who is
just not understood.

PS This is taken from Kanarev's Preface to his book, ON THE WAY TO THE PHYSICS
OF THE XXI CENTURY. a well worth read in its own right, even if the physics is
controversial , as this following shows:
This phenomenon is exacerbated by the fact that the building of physics has
become so large and multi-storied that semantic orientation within it becomes
ever more difficult.
Diverse and ever more specialized scientists equipped with the most powerful,
expensive, and ultra precise research instruments are continually erecting this
building. Some of them are building it confidently but the others are looking
at its foundation and becoming anxious about its ability to support its growth.
Appearance of new scientific results contradicting accepted scientific concepts
increases this anxiety and unites those supporters who are seeking truth.
In the USA, many truth-seekers have united and organized the issue of the
journal "Galilean Electrodynamics". In Russia, the focus is on scientific
conferences about problems of modern natural science. The range of the problems
to be discussed is rather wide, but almost all the participants of the global
discussion doubt the validity of Einstein's Relativity theories. ...... and so
might we all.....
