The document discusses the discovery of quantum physics and highlights how even renowned scientists like Einstein and Bohr were often wrong in their theories, while Max Planck was right. It emphasizes the importance of adapting one's models and theories based on evidence rather than clinging to them. The author also touches on the significance of the concept of Kundalini as a valuable system for personal growth, regardless of its interpretations.
Why Einstein Was Wrong And How To Copy Him
- 2. One of the reasons I like quantum physics so much is the process by which it was discovered.
- 3. You had a bunch of the smartest guys in the world, (Einstein, Bohr, Plank, etc.,) sitting around this "black body."
- 4. No, it wasn't that! Just a hunk of stuff.
- 5. They would heat it up, and then measure the energy as it cooled down.
- 6. They kept trying to describe what was happening through various "models" or ideas about what they THOUGHT was happening.
- 7. And guess what? They were WRONG way more often than they were right.
- 8. In fact, they were right only ONCE. But once was enough. Einstein was wrong.
- 9. Neils Bohr was wrong.
- 10. But some young dude, Max Plank, was right.
- 11. (That's right kids, the dude who "discovered" quantum mechanics was in his twenties).
- 12. The reason this was so cool was they DIDN'T try and force the world to fit into their idea.
- 13. They didn't fall in love with their own theory and then try and FORCE the world to "behave properly.
- 14. They were SMART ENOUGH to know it's ridiculous to keep believing in something when there's evidence right in front of you proving it's NOT TRUE.
- 15. Compare that to people today.
- 16. Everybody's got their own theory.
- 17. And when they find that "reality" doesn't match with their pet "theory" (which they likely copied from somebody else) then they get mad at reality.
- 18. It doesn't even occur to them to change their "model of the world."
- 19. Because models are just that.
- 20. Models. Guesses.
- 22. And if YOUR model isn't working very well, maybe you should CHANGE your model.
- 23. How do you do that?
- 24. Just play some mental "what if."
- 25. What if those "other people" who are the opposite side are more right than I give them credit for?
- 26. But this requires you to ask YOURSELF a very important question:
- 27. What's more important, being RIGHT, or finding an accurate model so you can more easily GET WHAT YOU WANT?
- 28. Because it's pretty tough to do both.
- 29. That's why Kundalini is so powerful.
- 30. It could be completely mystical and esoteric.
- 31. It could be based on metaphysics.
- 32. It could be a metaphorical description of biological processes that are TOO COMPLICATED for the human mind to understand.
- 33. But the concept has been around for a LONG TIME.
- 34. Even if it's "just" a system for reducing stress, so you can live healthier, live longer, make better decisions, get better relationships, develop better communication, it's still pretty valuable.
