About peter kosc

When watching a TV program, comments made by world-recognized scientists caught Peter’s attention. The scientists alleged that it is OK for paradoxes to exist in science, including mathematics and physics. Peter found those comments disturbing because his understanding of the paradoxes is that they are statements that do not make logical sense. Usually, one part of the statement contradicts another.

Science is knowledge built on reason and logic; therefore, scientific statements can be explained by established principles. Suppose it is OK for paradoxes to exist in science. Then, science is also knowledge built on unreasonableness, illogicality, and nonsense. Consequently, established principles cannot explain scientific statements.

As can be seen, we have a classic example of a paradox here. One part of the paragraph contradicts another.

Ignoring the paradoxical nature of the paragraph, one can conclude that science is knowledge built on reason, logic, and nonsense. It merits asking: What is the current ratio of reason and logic to nonsense in science? Is there a limit to how many paradoxes there can be in science? Who decides or governs which paradoxes or nonsense are part of science?

Instead of promoting logic and reason, famous paradoxes are used to promote and idolize nonsense. As a result, some fields of science are based on those idolized paradoxical theories. So, is it possible for popular nonsense to ultimately outnumber and displace reason and logic?

Considering that learning takes time, it is understandable that we get something wrong because of a lack of understanding. When proposed ideas do not make sense, we should examine the fundamentals instead of blindly accepting them just because somebody famous came up with them.

For that reason, Peter decided to examine some of the paradoxes, including those promoted on the TV program. Having a degree in mechanical engineering, he assumed that he should be able to get a basic idea of the root of some paradoxes and perhaps form his own opinion.

Little did he know, his decision led him to years of researching the fundamentals of mathematics. Whether his findings are nonsense or if they are based on reason and logic, the readers can decide on their own.
