Certainly the comment is short, as the definition of a myth in previous message. Nobody reaches the real. It's the sense of the 99%, which is a very big maximum far to be reached. 5% is better. What is pointed on the difference between Physics and Parable is when a theory is established (by the establishment), and with the instruments, the materials of approach of the physicians, we can't change anything of it until the next theory, which generally uses the same or close type of instruments and mode of reason as the former. The Parable, Myth, Legend ... is the kingdom of imagination (sure Physics asks big imagination). Even if there are real common or unusual facts to start, after, all directions are possible. Hat's off to the evangelist who created the myth of resurrection. He probably was a good psy to know that occidental and middle east people would not adhere in majority to the reincarnation in little birds or fishes. But there are many occidental buddhists too. The same for the man or woman who invented the Immaculate conception which is imho a nice myth. Now the awful present. The shroud (still it !!! boring), this interesting piece of flax is a case because it is at halfway in time (10 centuries instead of 20) and at halfway of reality and fiction, just like the radioTV medias. I'm conscious not to solve the question of reality, but just want to point on the drift in the virtual. In the past, the clergy could say that the shroud was really that of Jesus, and nobody could say the contrary. Now it's the same for the scientists. And worse, the medias, TV series without art and poetry take advantages, live on this foggy mixture of virtual and real. >A BROWN >In other words the language you use is based >on the battle of the titans and the gods to use a Juengerian metaphor. >ROBERTO CALVO MACIAS >You are mixing technology with physics. Einstein writing his second letter to USpres in 45 to stop the process - the first in 40 is to initiate and accelerate the nuclear bomb - considers himself as mainly responsible for the works. For many years now, there is the concept of techno-science. EJ brings us an other point of view. Thank's to him we have a new approach. Certainly this global metaphor suits to me (and others I suppose) well, my position is based on it and I include in titans both Physics, technique, management, finance, economy, consummation. I'm not so much post modernist cause the reputation of spanish inn, but Baud offers an other way too. In this moment, it's EJ I support but face to titans, ready to ally with the devil. Just a little problem, if the devil is here, means that gods yet came back. Greetings richard
