IN OPPOSITION OR IN HARMONY?

“Religion and science are opposed…but only in the same sense as that in which my thumb and forefinger are opposed- and between the two, one can grasp everything.” Sir William Bragg

“Who can learn anything new and not find it a shock?” John Wheeler

It is helpful to regularly review even our most fundamental

understandings in light of our most recent discoveries.

Religion and Science:Two Sides Of One Coin

Warm summer evenings in Greece in the 4th century B.C. Democritus¹: 460-370 B.C. “Atomic system” wandering lights in the night sky, (GK. “planetes”, “wanderers”). Stationary grains of sand on the sea shore, (“atomos”, “atoms” meaning “indivisible” or “unbreakable). Aristotle: 384-322 B.C. The father of science. Knowing the physical world inexorable leads to knowing the existence of God & His qualities. (“physika”, “physics”, Gk. “of nature”, “to bring forth”). Four elements, each with their unique place & duty in the universe² Everything held in it’s place, whether fixed or in motion, by eternal natural laws, ordained by God.

INTRODUCTION

Measurement Standards & degrees of uncertainty:VECTORS & SCALARS:A scalar has only magnitude and no direction.A vector is a physical quantity that requires the specification of both direction and magnitude.

Page 8: PHYSICS 2-3

Ordinal Set Theory

Mohamed Ali and superlatives: Someone is always “The Greatest”.In any defined group or set, for every measureable quality, one member of that group is “most” or “best”.If qualities can be summed, someone is the overall “greatest.”Of all beings currently conscious, one of them is the greatest, (using the Laws, Constants, Forces, & Elements most effectively to bless & serve others).That being is God.For Christians that living being is Jesus Christ!Agnostics & Atheists have simply not been persuasively or effectively introduced to Him, Yet!

Page 9: PHYSICS 2-3

Epistemology How certain can I be?

“Any measurement that you make (decision that you come to) without knowledge of its uncertainty is completely meaningless.” “A measurement that doesn’t also indicate its degree of accuracy is meaningless.” “Knowing degrees of accuracy is critical to so many things in our lives.” Dr. Walter Lewin: FOR THE LOVE OF PHYSICS, 2011 pgs. x. ,8. (Parenthetical comment added.)

LARGE NUMBERS & DIVERSE SCALES

“We are each made up of between 10²⁸ and 10²⁹ atoms. This ‘human scale’ is, in a numerical sense, poised midway between the masses of atoms and stars. It would take roughly as many human bodies to make up the mass of the Sun as there are atoms in each of us. But our Sun is just an ordinary star in the galaxy that contains a hundred billion stars altogether. There are at least as many galaxies in our Observable Universe as there are stars in a galaxy. More than 10⁷⁸ atoms lie within range of our telescope.” There are @ 3 * 10²⁷ stars.

Page 22: PHYSICS 2-3

LARGE NUMBERS & DIVERSE SCALES

“Living organisms are configured into layer upon layer of complex structure. Atoms are assembled into complex molecules; these react, via complex pathways in every cell, and indirectly lead to the entire interconnected structure that makes up a tree, an insect or a human. We straddle the cosmos and the microworld-intermediate in side between the Sun, at a billion metres in diameter, and a molecule at a billionth of a metre.

Page 23: PHYSICS 2-3

23

LARGE NUMBERS & DIVERSE SCALES

It is actually no coincidence that nature attains its maximum complexity on this intermediate scale: Anything larger, if it were a habitable planet, would be vulnerable to breakage or crushing by gravity.” “ We are vulnerable to viruses a millionth of a metre in length, and the minute DNA double-helix molecule encodes our total genetic heritage. And it‘s just as obvious that we depend on the Son for its power.

Uni-verse or Cosmos?

• Are There Universal Laws, (Equations)?• Are There Universal Constants?• Are There Universal Elements?• Are There Universal Forces• We do not live in an (exclusively) material world! • We live in a Universe, with Eternal Laws,

Constants, Elements, (materials) and Forces.• They are the Typical God: Eternal, unchanging,

omniscient, omnipotent, & omnipresent!

Electromagnetic Force EM= Δ x E = - ∂B/∂T.¹

• God uses the EM force to hold molecules together and to animate all life. It is the basis of all chemistry!

• Man uses the EM force for virtually all of his technology!In one short elegant concept, Michael Faraday, a

humble Christian bookbinder, with no formal education, “discovers” the one law that describes both the generator and the motor in a single line! Where did he get this knowledge? According to his testimony, the Christian God revealed this to him! And a great deal more!

Page 26: PHYSICS 2-3

26

Electromagnetic Force EM= Δ x E = - ∂B/∂T.

Michael Faraday & James Maxwell were two of the greatest scientists of their generation, two of the greatest scientists of the 19th Century! Their discoveries in physics changed the world! (lights, TV, radio, phones, Computers, Electricity!) Faraday & Maxwell were very devout Christians. They were the pioneering giants of electromagnetism. Christians both, they credit Him, God, with revealing the nature of electromagnetism to them. Shall we ignore both from whom they learned it and how?

F = K x ( ⃓q₁⃓ x ⃓q₂ ⃓) /r².Or, F = K x ( ⃓q₁⃓ x ⃓q₂ ⃓)/d².

Coulomb Constant: C = k = 8.9875 x 10⁹ N x m²/C².One Ampere per second equals one Coulomb.

ELECTRIC FIELD& POLARIZATION

POLARIZATION is the separation of the positive & negative charges of a molecule by an external agent.In 1747 Benjamin Franklin was the 1st to observe that there is only one type of electricity present in all matter.

E-FIELD: WORK. ENERGY & POTENTIAL

when molecules are out of electronic balance, potential energy exists. The electrical impulse travels at the speed of light, the electrons themselves bumping from atom to atom travel far slower.In 1897 J.J. Thomson discovered the electron & that atoms may on occasion have one or two extra or two few.Einstein discovered the photoelectric effect in 1905.

FUNDAMENTAL FORCES ELECTRIC CHARGE & E.S. INDUCTION.Electromagnetic induction¹: (EM) ΔX E = -∂B/∂T. Faraday-Maxwell.¹”The total electromotive force acting around any closed path in space is equal to the rate of decrease of the magnetic flux linking the path. In this equation ΔX represents a mathematical operator, called the Curl, which when acting on the vector E produces three partial differential equations. E represents electric field, ∂B represents changes in the magnetic field, and ∂T represents changes in time. It is also stated as: = 0,

Φ OF LIGHT PARTICLE-WAVES.IS LIGHT EARTHLY OR HEAVENLY?

MATERIAL PARTICLES OR ENERGY WAVES?• In 1665 Dr. Isaac newton Jr. produced the 1st

intentionally created man-made rainbow by shinning light through a glass prism. This tended to disprove the belief that heavenly light was white & colors were earthly pollutions. It was also the 1st scientific publication in English & not in the universal language of Latin: On Light.

• Because these colors seemed immaterial, not from earthly particles, Newton called his rainbow a “spectrum” of light, as in “specter” Latin for ghost.

Page 55: PHYSICS 2-3

Φ OF LIGHT PARTICLE-WAVES.• Snell’s Law: Light refracted at the surface:

Page 56: PHYSICS 2-3

Φ OF LIGHT PARTICLE-WAVES.• Huygens's principle: The assumption that every

element of a wave front acts as the source of new waves. This applies to any wave but is used mostly in optics.

Page 57: PHYSICS 2-3

Φ OF LIGHT PARTICLE-WAVES.• Thomas Young’s famous 1801 double-

slit experiment:• “Young let light fall on a surface containing two

closely adjacent slits. The wedge of light from each slit fell on a screen and overlapped, resulting in a pattern of stripes-bright bands and dim bands alternating.”¹ Light couldn’t be only particles

• Path difference: • Constructive interference: Phase Difference for

n = 1,2,3,… • Destructive interference: For m = 1,3,5…

Page 58: PHYSICS 2-3

Φ OF LIGHT PARTICLE-WAVES.• Reflection: On a rough surface light reflect in

various directions & is called diffuse reflection. On a smooth surface (like glass or water) the rays are parallel to each other & called specular reflection:

• • Refraction: • The Law of refraction:

the reflecting medium has a higher index of refraction than the medium in which the wave is traveling: Where λ is the wavelength of light in free space.

Newton’s rings: Newton used this method to check the smoothness & uniformity of optical mirrors & lenses placing a thin air wedge between two optical surfaces. Optimally there will be an interference pattern of concentric bright & dark circular fringes, Newton’s rings. We still use them today.
