The proud science of physics has a rarely mentioned axioma: reality is what human senses agree it is. All observation in science depends, directly or indirectly, on sensory perception including the interpretations in our brain. This is possible because of the high correlation of measurements across different sense organs and also across individuals. Society at large achieves generality of major interpretations across individuals by the process of socialization, resulting in a basically ‘social’ construction of reality. Somebody who was born blind and misses the social construction of visible reality will never perceive reality in a ‘normal’ way if he suddenly gains the sight faculty. He will prefer to close his eyes.

We know that there are scientists who explicitly allow for the existence of God. But greater is the number of scientists who seek the opposition of their science against religion. They forget the social construction of reality. And they prefer not to mention the other challenges that shake their unshakable science to its foundations. One of those challenges is to understand what they are calculating when it comes to the origin of the universe. They tend to mistake their theoretical models and assumptions for facts. But science could or should become almost speechless when it comes to quantum mechanics. They present as scientific that the location of a particle is a probability density distribution, that things can be true and not true at the same time. And that particles on different sides of the earth can be simultaneously and oppositely entangled in the information they carry. Some scientists honestly acknowledge that they don’t understand it, others divert the attention from their lack of understanding to the foolishness of religion.

For me as a religious person, the incomprehensibility of basic ‘reality’ to us humans points to a God who is so much greater than the three dimensions that we can perceive. Maybe science and religion will need each other in the future. I have already been trying to bring them closer together but I don’t understand enough myself, of course…

Science and Math are soooo cool. I truly believe when accurately handled and interpreted they show Him and His order, not the opposite. After all, anything we study or find is merely mankind stumbling on to Gods creation. To me though, it isn't a religious thing but rather just a fact; a true and accurate scientific finding/fact shows Him!!!

For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.
Romans 1:20 ESV

For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him.
Colossians 1:16 ESV

Hi @JustEli. Time is also a dimension, but not one that we perceive as such. We can perceive the succession of time stills, though. A clock does not measure time but simulates it. Only God perceives all dimensions.

Einstein proved with his space-time continuum: Time only exists where there is matter. There is visible matter and dark (invisible) matter. So good luck trying to measure it.
is time relative? does it not change at different speeds/elevations? i have never studied any of this on my own, find
it fascinating though.

No, I only grasp a little of it. Like the speed of light is relative and measurable, time is not. It bends around matter if that make sense. Wormholes are possible because there could be vast areas where matter is absent.

They say 70 percent of matter is dark matter. How that relates to black holes where super dense matter exists is anybody’s guess.

Also, what we cannot answer is does time exist in black holes because we can't get any information out. Theoretically, it should exist there with matter, but would it not be measurable. Needless to say, we have more questions than answers. :cool:
