^ Science by definition cannot be incomplete, since it includes all approaches which reliably describe the world we live in. You reject science and insist not only that there is more, but that you know more than science can know.
Put in another way: You insist that there is more than pure rationality. Which is irrational by definition.

^ I do not reject science, and I surely do not know that there is more, or know more than science can know, I merely know I don't know. In other words science is only complete in a theoretic way, by which I mean the very statement "science can know" suggests it does not yet know all things about all things. Science can know but does not always know.
Y'know? |

^ My point is that by definition science is the only way to KNOW anything with a reasonable degree of certainty.

Personally, I believe in the existence and continuance of time. In that regard, I am reminded of a rejection letter by publisher Arthur C. Fifield after having to drudge through one of Gertrude Stein's Dada stream-of-consciousness manuscripts. Fifield most certainly captures the torturous minutes and seconds that each of us has, at times, experienced on our personal planes of existence:
Dear Madam, I am only one, only one, only one. Only one being, one at the same time. Not two, not three, only one. Only one life to live, only sixty minutes in one hour. Only one pair of eyes. Only one brain. Only one being. Being only one, having only one pair of eyes, having only one time, having only one life, I cannot read your M.S. three or four times. Not even one time. Only one look, only one look is enough. Hardly one copy would sell here. Hardly one. Hardly one. Many thanks. I am returning the M.S. by registered post. Only one M.S. by one post.

^ That's funny. 'Stream of consciousness' can be a legitimate form of expression but that response is classic.

That's a contradiction. If scalar waves have been scientifically proven, they would be accepted by the scientific community. Why wouldn't they be accepted? siLLy puPPy's answer to this question is to invoke a conspiracy theory, what's your answer?
In what way is science not progressing as it should?
Nikola Tesla is not a supreme being, so stop deifying him. Although he did give the world alternating current, he eventually became what many consider to be a crackpot.
Another contradiction. Is it electromagnetic or not electromagnetic?
Then why are they called "scalar" waves? Do you know what a scalar quantity is in physics?
Sounds dangerous. Why are we not blasted by them from sources across the cosmos?
How conveniently magical. What determines their speed?
If they aren't stopped by anything, how do they interact with human tissue?
How conveniently magical. It sounds like a dermal regenerator beam from Star Trek.
Really?!! Bring them into harmony with the universe?!! What sort of new-age nonsense is this?
Wow, look at all those sciencey sounding terms. It's a characteristic of pseudoscience to sound scientific by the use of terms that are intended to persuade non-experts but are either misused or meaningless, indicating a lack of knowledge of the actual science. |

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.
