"Physicists also speculate beyond established physics"
Physics is not a static science. As in all sciences, there are thought leaders and followers, and flux defines its current state.
Let' see: since we've got forces, masses, and, accelerations in the ME, we must also have velocities (how can we not, since acceleration is the rate of change of velocity) and angular velocities. So what is the analog to the law of conservation of angular momentum?
Much as the ice skater who spins faster when her arms are drawn in, and slower when her arms are extended, the rate of the velocity of animus extant among the parties involved in the ME conflict is proportionally increased as they seek more isolation from one another (drawn arms) and will be diminished when they "open" themselves to an awareness that the common ground they share in their humanity is far greater than their perceived differences, and seek a solution which embraces this reality. As long as they are in a defensive posture, their centrifugal force will preclude forward progress and instead maintain their spinning on their current"spot". This is a choice they have made, and they can individually choose to release themselves from this dizzying whirl. At some point, of course, their "spinning" must stop as there is a consistent degradation of their energy over time (in keeping with some law of physics which presently escapes me, but of which I am sure you are aware.)
I think Neo's comments to you about Feyman sufficiently express my feelings. |
