Helping others to help themselves is a focus of this web-site particularly in the area of community.  This web-site endeavors to offer insight and wisdom to all those who seek it, but expects those who follow this path to branch off, become leaders, and share all they have learned with others, even if just one's own family. Each one of us should be the stone, thrown into the pond, that creates the ripple effect. We can improve the lives of others and effect world peace as we improve our environment together.

Creativity - from Einstein and Picasso to black holes and...
For the preservation of the beauty of the earth:

What does it mean to be creative? Is there anything that links the thought processes of the world's greatest artists - like Picasso - and the world's greatest scientists - like Einstein? And if so, what is it? This has been the subject of my research for over a decade.

Creativity in Art and Science

I am fascinated by the nature of creative thinking and, in particular, in creativity in art (on the one hand) and science (on the other). What are the similarities, what are the differences?
With this as my jumping off point, I have looked into several different fields, beginning with the notion of aesthetics.

What is Beauty

How do scientists use visual imagery to make their discoveries? How does the mind form images? How does it recall and process them? What makes a theory or an equation beautiful?
I have found that the best way to look into creativity and the creative process is by using case studies, by examining the histories of some of the world's greatest scientists and from there to work towards a theory of cognitive science for creative thinking. Seeking out what they have in common is a way of discovering how the mind works at its most creative.
This has been the subject of several discussions.  

Can we improve our own creativity?

Are there practical ways to improve our own creativity? This has proved to be a spin-off of my research due to its relevance for saving our planet. I am currently putting together some practical proposals which should be of enrormous  interest to the ecologically-minded business community.  Black Holes

The tangled story of the discovery of black holes is a prime example of creativity at work. The young Indian scientist Subramanyan Chandrasekhar worked out in a flash of intuition that black holes had to exist; but his discovery was rejected by the scientific establishment for decades. Why is so much intellectual creativity rejected?  Is materialism and selfish exploitation of earth's resources the focus of our culture?

Ecology and Creativity  

There are many practical ways to utilize our creativity and one of them is to sustain the beauty and life-giving force of our beloved earth.  Subramanyan Chandrasekhar shared the 1983 Nobel Prize in Physis with W.A. Fowler for his studies of the physical processes of the importance to the structure and evolution of stars. He described this work in "The Mathematical Theory of Black Holes (1983). His other books include "Principle of Stellar Dynamics" (1942), "Hydrodynamic and Hydromagnetic Stability" (1961), and "Truth and Beauty: Aesthetics and Motivation in Science" (1987).  Chandra was a creative, prolific genius whose ability to combine mathematical precision with physical insight changed humanity's view of stellar physics. His most famous discovery was that not all stars end up as white dwarf stars, but those retaining mass above a certain limit. It is, indeed an incredible fact that what the human mind, at its deepest and most profound, perceives as beautiful finds its realization in external nature.… What is intelligible is also beautiful. From a lecture, "Beauty and the Quest for Beauty in Science" given at the International Symposium in recognition of Robert R. Wilson on April 27, 1979 at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, Batavia, Illinois.

• The answer to our current ecological mess is to suspend aggressive-for-profit usage of our earth's resources and focus on life-giving measures.  Selfish plundering and exploitation of nature has brought us to the point of almost certain extinction.
• Let us join together as a global network and sustain our beautiful green and blue planet.

                                                                                          

                                                                                       

Despite the differences of their subject matter, science and theology have a cousinly relationship.  When we consider aspects of quantum physics and theology we see that the two truth-seeking enterprises are engaged in analogous rational techniques of inquiry. The deep connections between science and theology show  a common kinship in the search for truth. 

Key similarities in quantum physics and Christology are patterns of historical development in quantum physics as well as  in Christology. Examples are the perplexities such as quantum interpretation and the problem of evil, and the drive for an overarching view in the Grand Unified Theories of physics and in Trinitarian theology. Both theology and science are propelled by a desire to understand the world through experienced reality, and  their viewpoints are by no means mutually exclusive.

The need today for spirituality and truth is great.

The need for well-informed and effective teaching is great. We live in a culture of individualism and materialism that often provides false happiness, hope, and peace. There is a conflict of values. How can the poor want to be rich when the rich denigrate the poor? How can the disenfranchised win the election? Or the last in line be first to receive favor? The glut of materialism and the practice of violence have taken a toll. But, even in today's climate of distrust, there is increasing hunger for the transcendent, for an experience of God that touches our lives.

Should  we encourage the peace-focused Word of God as it connects with the experience of the people--in ways that will make a difference, and transform, ourselves, others' lives, and enrich our global community with peace and unity?
