Our scientific understanding has undermined many conventional approaches to spirituality at the very time we most need to strengthen these capacities. The source of the difficulty may hold the key to the solution. Science is widely accepted because it works. It looks at the world as it is searching for the simplest possible description. Discovery of simple descriptive laws has led to enormous power to control the phenomena the laws describe feeding our technical prowess. It was only possible to do this by divorcing science from feeling and values so one could see what is and not what one wants to see.

The ganzfeld ("total field") experiment uses audio and visual sensory deprivation to test for extra-sensory perception (ESP). There are claims that this experiment yields results that deviate significantly from randomness, and represent some of the strongest experimental evidence for psi phenomena to date. As with all purported psi phenomena, these claims are highly controversial within science in general and even within parapsychology. The debate is well-documented in parapsychology journals and in articles such as thos ...

Weird Science (1985) is a movie written and directed by John Hughes. The title song was written and performed by Oingo Boingo. Two super-nerds, Gary (Anthony Michael Hall) and Wyatt (Ilan Mitchell-Smith), unable to find girls on their own, hack into the Pentagon's mainframe and use government technology to create a computer simulation of a "the perfect woman" in order to place her in "real life sexual situations" and see how she reacts. Mysteriously, the result is "Lisa," (Kelly LeBrock), a real-life woman and sex ...

In, object-oriented programming, a class consists of a description of a collection of encapsulated instance variables and methods, possibly with implementation of those types together with a constructor function that can be used to create objects of the class. A class is a cohesive package that consists of a particular kind of compile-time metadata. A Class describes the rules by which objects behave; these objects are referred to as "instances" of that class. A class specifies the structure of data which each instance contains as wel ...

A New Kind of Science is a controversial book by Stephen Wolfram, published in 2002. It introduced and justified the empirical systematic study of simple programs, which are basic deterministic systems which iterate.

The social sciences are a group of academic disciplines that study the human aspects of the world. They diverge from the arts and humanities in that the social sciences emphasize the use of the scientific method and rigorous standards of evidence in the study of humanity, including quantitative and qualitative methods. The social sciences are also known pejoratively as the soft sciences in contrast to the hard sciences. Social science theories typically deal with aggregated, not individual, behavior. Including:

Science fiction is a genre of fiction in which advances in science, or contact with more scientifically advanced civilizations, create situations different from those of both the present day and the known past. Although science fiction is often written primarily to entertain, many authors have a deeper purpose, using the genre to provide insight into science, society, or the human condition. The borders of this genre are not well defined, and the dividing lines between its sub-genres are often fluid. (In Strong Opinions, Vladim ...
