The Information Age steadily leads us to the idea that a Man (with a capital letter) can do everything!!! In general, Everything. You just need to want and direct resources to new ideas.

Therefore, in our time, Science has practically replaced faith in God, in which people now believe more than they previously relied on the Lord.

But, as always, Life has set traps. These traps disappearing in one area appear in new areas of knowledge. What I mean.

Here’s what. Once upon a time, the philosophers (and then all scientists were philosophers, there were no specialties) did not even think about living nature, but tried to understand how straight lines turn into a circle (squaring a circle), how to build precise geometric figures, etc. Then physicists learned the Law of Nature about the force of gravity, etc. Further more and more fun. A certain Albert Einstein showed that many unshakable laws at speeds of motion of bodies close to the speed of light are violated and require new proofs and was able to prove new, so to speak, refined laws for relativistic systems.

But until now none of the scientists has raised the question more sharply and directly. Why, with new knowledge of a Man, there are always New Refinements of old knowledge?

What is the cause here?

I was led to this article by the bold stories of author Olivier Loose of The Medium. He believes in the New God — Science so much that he never even said that all the Theories described by him are just Hypotheses, which no one will ever be able to prove. They are just interesting examples of the thinking of modern scientists who also believe in their notions as the New God — Science.

I am, of course, just the same scientist as all other scientists, but I do not believe in the New God. I am only glad that I am not alone, but with me such dude as Immanuel Kant whom is in the company. He, took (a long time ago) doubted the New God — Science which at that date was raising.

A newborn person does not immediately understand, and many do not understand until the end of their lives that people are just a small part of the Algosphere that surrounds them. Algosphere is the realm of algorithms, i.e. creatures of those who think by cause-consequence methods exclusively in Time.

It can be called otherwise. A Man knows nothing in the Universe except for its Information Projection.

To understand the correctness of this statement, it is enough to read the following (see Fig. 1).

Fig. 1

Nobody can argue with these axioms, for they are the very Life of Man. And only proceeding from these axioms limiting human thinking, a Man has established many Postulates-Laws, which are indisputable for him. (see Fig 2).

Fig. 2

In fact, the Laws discovered by a Man are the Limit of possibilities for cognition of the Universe. If it is impossible to understand the nature of what we see in Fig. 2, then it is impossible to understand the origin of everything else, it is beyond our understanding.

The most important thing we see in Fig. 2 the fact that no one in principle can prove the origin of these Postulates. It is simply impossible for one single cause — being inside the system, and we are all inside this system of Life, it is impossible to understand what is “outside”. The Human does not have any connections with the “outside world”.

Therefore, from here it is easy to establish the following (see Fig. 3).

Fig. 3

That is it! This is a dead end to the knowledge by a Man, by Mankind.

A Man came up with all his ideas about the surrounding Algosphere solely from his personal experience, which in principle does not go beyond the Algosphere. All the Models of the World invented by him work only in a limited space and in a limited time interval of the existence of each Person separately.

All human Theories work exclusively with one goal — to predict and foresee the future for human life and the environment useful to him within the Algosphere. Only this is the essence of all the Laws established by people.

To this we must add the important fact that from a primitive counting based on the number of fingers and toes, Humanity as a result laid the Foundations of Modern Mathematics and is especially important at the present moment — Cybernetics and Computers.

All “the bells and whistles” in the form of integrals, matrices, vectors, etc. it’s just 10 fingers!

That is why there is not a Natural Constant in Science, for example, the number Pi in geometry or Planck’s Constant in quantum physics, etc., which would be a Natural Rational Number. All Constants of Humanity are Irrational numbers, that is, they never converge …

These non-convergent World Constants convince that the World is not cognizable further than the place where people found new opportunities to learn something for Their Life in the Algosphere, but not in the Universe!

Therefore, we observe more and more Rectification of the Old Laws. “The further we go into the Forest, the more Firewood!” (Russian proverb). The Limit of Knowledge is a Horizon that is never attainable for a Human.
The Horizon debunks Science as the New God, for God is the Absolute by definition, and the Horizon is a shift further and further.

Conclusion. You do not need to think that the world around you is the same as what a Man sees very far in space with the help of super telescopes and / or studies the microcosm with the help of electron microscopes, you do not need to think that in addition to man, outside the sphere of human life there is a certain World Absolute Time, there is no need to assume that some “black holes” are the result of laws that people clearly recorded right here on Earth, and also in the nearest Cosmos, this is all Unknowable and is the Limit of our capabilities in studying the Universe.

At one of the Seminars on my Book “Unicum Organum”, I was called a pessimist and was called a philosophy based on the capabilities of our brain (Unicum Organum), harmful, because it limits the desire to know the world.
To which I answered and will always answer — Unicum Organum does not limit anything! It is for Life, and not for Death, that Nature has created the Unicum Organum of a person, but one cannot use, for example, such a useful thing as a smartphone to hammer nails into the wall of a dwelling. Our brains are not designed for the purposes that some science fiction scientists want to use.

No need to hammer nails into the wall with a fragile smartphone! As a result, you will lose your smartphone, and the wall, as it was without nails, will remain so, ha-ha-ha …
