I have never dreamed of flying through space. I have never yearned to travel faster than the speed of light. I’m not impressed by sightings of UFOs or the prospect of meeting aliens. I’m not interested in altering the genomes of any of my offspring. I’m not interested in refusing to age or refusing to die. I’m writing this on an excellent computer, but I’m not sure that I enjoy my computer any more than I used to enjoy the effect of a newly sharpened pencil on a crisp white sheet of paper, or the feel of making my way through the smooth pages of a mammoth encyclopaedia, or the fun of recording favourite songs off the radio onto a stuttering cassette tape or viewing a classic movie on a flickering, whirring VHS bought at a car boot sale. The fact is, progress is ambivalent, it’s not always 100% good … Read more

All human creations can be divided broadly into three categories i.e. science, religion and arts. Initially, art referred to any human skill or mastery. However during the romantic period, art was separated from the other two main branches of human creation i.e. science and religion. Arts, science and religion are now considered as different specializations that have nothing in common.

Albert Einstein said “All religions, arts and sciences are branches of the same tree. ” Yet we don’t know why? After all, religion is based on faith needing no evidence. Science is based on fact that has to be proven by evidence. Art relates to human emotion and requires neither faith nor evidence as we know it is a fiction or an object created purely from the imagination of a human mind.

A warning to the reader: This article argues that modern science has been turned upside down, revealing the remedy to Steven Hawking’s observation that the greatest mistake humanity has ever made was to invent artificial intelligence. The correction to that mistake necessitates an up-to-date familiarity with Buckminster Fuller and C P Snow’s third culture, in which human survival is about gaining a new perspective on the unification of Science with Art.

Rather than this new perspective constituting an attack upon science, it draws attention to the crucial importance of Fuller and Snow’s synergistic Science-Art concepts. The effort to place those concepts within the perspective associated with very recent, crucial scientific discoveries, will allow for a better understanding of the nature of reality, in particular, relevant to carcinogenic growth and development.
