You decide to study Nature seen as a laboratory, only looking at the very basis of matter. You come up with something we can call “The laws of the lab”.

Now, you feel the world should be filled with articles made of plastic. You construct a factory complete with lab and machines for producing the goods.

Now you use your “laws of the lab” and without too much problems you produce plastic.

So far you have accomplished two achievements, both fantastic and brilliant.

You have seen through the religious superstition of your time (at a timre when the idea to look at Nature as a lab was entirely alien) so, in one way you help people get rid of some of their ignorance about Nature.

Secondly, you have come up with plastic – something that hadn’t existed in this world prior to that event.

So far, so good.

However, now you bring your plastic out of the lab and into the outside natural world. But it doesn’t fit in. It doesn’t have the characteristics of things you find in the natural world. Why? Because everything in the natural world was produced during a time-span while your plastic in a way actually copies Big Bang and is produced immediately like in an explosion. This because when creating the plastic in your lab you primarily used your knowledge of the four forces and the building blocks (atoms, molecules) created by Big Bang. (Although, secretly, you have to use some other knowledge of qualitative nature to add colour, shape and consistence to your plastic – if you didn’t do that you wouldn’t produce anything else than a useless gel in your lab).

However, you stand strong. What doesn’t fit into the picture will have to be censured from now on, this is your new motto, or in fact an old motto, as exactly the same motto were used by the priests. The two assistants, Ian and Felix, in this way face danger; they are threatened with inquisition and forced to lie about the truth.

But the truth cannot be hidden for long. Ian and Felix are released from jail and now they rise quickly in fame and reputation. In fact they become like kings. As the laws of the lab work – no one can deny that -  other scientists, like the Biologists are degraded and censured even.

Ian and Felix now declare Physics, the science which rely on the laws of the lab, as the Science in order to make Physics, Big Bang physics, the measure of all things.

Other Scientist grumble, especially the Biologists. Among those Scientist who grumble, there is Prirogine. His ideas are very different from those of Ian and Felix. Prirogine says that this universe of Ian and Felix – a universe of timeless idealization made up entirely of matter and forces which act on the matter but do not change is a static concept that simply cannot be true. It’s a mechanical model but we live in a world which is not mechanical.

Prirogine’s solution is irreversibility. Time is fundamental part of Nature and that’s why we see what we call Evolution – matter organises itself into higher and more complex systems. And there is history.

Strolling around in their palace, a lab in this case, Ian and Felix are like kings now. The atmosphere from the time of the priest’s inquisition has changed, yet it similar. Now, they can run the inquisitions themselves, censure books by other scientists and share the wealth of the all rich sponsors in the world.

Here, let’s stop this tale for a minute and ask ourselves this: What has happened here really? To begin with, where did this sudden cleverness – to see through and discover the physical mechanism in matter – come from?

The answer is logic. By using logic Ian and Felix were able to accomplish all that what this tale told you.

From another source, Biology, we can learn there are two modes of “thought”, two modes living creatures use for acting in this world.

One is called Selectionism. This is what Evolution uses and what all living creatures use. (We too). You will live a perfectly biological and ecological life by using it. And thus you exist in perfect harmony with the ecological system

However, two groups of living creatures use another mode of thought as well: logic.

Insects, like ants, termites and beetle use logic. They have had farming, agriculture, for 50 million years (and thus were far ahead of us). Ants and termites live in sophisticated buildings they constructed themselves complete with air condition and all.

Beehives, spider’s webs, what do they remind us of? Mathematics. Again: logic.

Yet again, nowhere can you find those insects mentioned interfere with Nature. They live in perfect harmony with the rest of the natural world.

Humans have logic too, and in our case it’s a sort o free-will-concept, a more advanced concept.

And in the beginning there was nothing remarkable with us either. We lived in harmony with Nature  relying heavily on Selectionism, until we got Science. The main problem today with the short-cut logic of Physics  is that the mechanical world it has built for us, interferes with the natural world in a way giving us a scenario where science must spend more and more of its time to solve the problems it itself has created.

Desperately struggling inside this rat-race, this labyrinth, the Physicists, Ian and Felix, are going for a brand-new concept: Let’s make the whole earth artificial, into a Robot world – then all the problems we now encounter will cease to exist (as what we today call Ecology will cease to exist). If we make humans into robots, with chips in their heads, artificial limbs etc, they will escape sickness, diseases, depressions (happiness will cease to exist too though).

This Robot man does not have to be emotionally upset when the last tree on earth is gone and the last shrimp from the sea is dead. This Robot man is in fact the perfect candidate for an emigration from a dying planet, which was finally collapsed under a most simple idea: the laws of the lab, erroneously put into overuse in a world ruled by laws of Nature which had to be constantly neglected.
