The resolution of the
apparent clash and the concept of the Normal
|
|
The resolution of the
apparent clash is via the—introduced—concept of the Normal. Given Logic, it
emerges as necessary that there are contexts or domains such as the local
cosmological system that may be labeled Normal domains and that have Normal
behavior. The apparent physical necessities, then, are Normal or very
probable; the apparent physical impossibilities are very improbable

The progression from the
Normal to the Logic-al view is analogous to progress in science. In the
transition from Newton’s mechanics to Einstein’s theory of
gravitation—general relativity—the very concepts, e.g. of space and time and
matter are changed and the large scale behavior of the universe is vastly
different. However, Newton’s mechanics had been vastly successful within its
own domain of validity. The newer theory is able to show the limits and the
reasons for the limits of the older and, naturally, there is excellent
agreement between the two theories within the domain of validity of the older
theory. The view from Logic is in agreement with the Normal view in the
latter’s domains of validity; however, outside the Normal, the Universe as
revealed by Logic is vastly different than it would be according to the
Normal—including modern science

The audience may find the
explanation from the Normal to be plausible but not necessary
|
|
However, as noted earlier,
it is demonstrated that the explanation from the Normal is necessary

Immediate / Ultimate
|
|
Although the present view is
ultimate, it is shown, e.g. via the Normal, to necessarily harbor the
immediate and the necessary connection between the immediate and the ultimate
