How do we arrive at the truth, given our extremely limited points of view?

It seems the primary scientific method is to examine every detail and then extrapolate a model, aka, induction. Then use this model to explain further information, aka deduction.

The effect seems to be cycles of theories becoming dogma, until they break down.

Given we seem to be getting close to another breakdown phase, what is the next model?

I think it goes to the dichotomy of energy and information.

Rather than look ever closer at the details, why not step back and look at the big picture?

Galaxies are energy radiating out, as structure coalesces in. People have a digestive system processing the energy driving us on, while the nervous system sorts through the information, distilling signals from the noise. Motor and steering, with the circulation system as feedback between the two.

Consider that as mobile organisms, this sentient interface between body and situation functions as a sequence of perceptions, in order to navigate, so our experience of time is as the present moving past to future, but the evident reality is that activity and the resulting change turns future to past. Tomorrow becomes yesterday, because the earth turns.

There is no dimension of time, because the past is consumed by the present, to inform and drive it. Causality and conservation of energy. Cause becomes effect.

Energy is conserved, because it manifests this presence, creating time, temperature, pressure, color and sound. Frequencies and amplitudes, rates and degrees.

The energy goes past to future, because the patterns generated coalesce and dissolve, future to past. Energy drives the wave, the fluctuations rise and fall. No tiny strings necessary.

Consciousness also goes past to future, while the perceptions, emotions and thoughts giving it form and structure go future to past. Though it's the digestive system processing the energy and the nervous system sorting the information. Desire versus judgement.

Entropy for energy is to radiate out, toward infinity, while entropy for information is to coalesce in, toward equilibrium. Possibly because waves synchronize as a path of least resistance.

So to deduce from this, the additional gravitational effect is due to mass being a consequence of this centripetal dynamic, extending across the entire spectrum, not the source of it.
