Science looks to the elements.

Art looks to the ideals.

The universal is the elemental.

The ideal is the point of reference, effectively our mental center of gravity.

The problem is that we tend to confuse them, thinking our ideals are absolute.

Truth, beauty, platonic forms are ideals. Laws are actually ideals. We only assume them to be universal.

It started with God. The all-knowing absolute, in the words of Pope John Paul 2.

As the elemental, a spiritual absolute would be the essence of sentience, from which we rise, not an ideal of wisdom and judgement, from which we fell. The light shining through the film, than the narratives played out on it.

Now this omniscient omniscience is Math, with Science as its Jesus.

Epicycles were brilliant math, as a model of our view of the cosmos. It's just that crystalline spheres were lousy physics, as explanation.

The reality is that knowledge is subject to the frame, the map. Too much information and it reverts to noise. Whiteout.

The signals we extract from the noise are what resonates and synchronizes with our prior maps and models. Our beliefs.

Yet if our framing is wrong, like the earth is not the center of the universe, all the, "Shut up and calculate" in the world is just that much, "Garbage in, garbage out."

That's why, so often, "Change happens one funeral at a time." As our theories can never be falsified, only patched.

Question; If space expands, wouldn't the speed of light have to increase, in order to remain Constant?

Maybe the reason the Webb keeps finding ever further galaxies........
