Science
Science starts with the world around us. Clothing is cloth that fits the body. So also the concepts and principles that form the fabric of science must fit the body of experience of the world around us.
The Science Department of Science Synergy focuses on snags and bare spots in the garment of science where concepts and principles do not fit the body of experience of the world around us. However, our goal is to sew together a coherent framework for understanding the world rather than to simply fit the data of experience. Nevertheless our fundamental science discoveries including the nature of dark matter in 2021, the way that strange matter spins in 2022, and the way that life changes in 2023 have lead to the resolution of long-standing tensions between experiments and theory in physics, chemistry, and biology.
A vital aspect of life in the Science Department is working with scientists who are struggling to understand why the theory they are using does not fit what they are are seeing in the lab, in the sky, or in their computer simulations. Yet the core of what we do is simply trying to see the world from the point of view of the things that create what we see around us. We tunnel with the protons in the bonds between nucleotides that store the code of life, we travel with the photons that drive the spin of strange matter to turn, and we bind mirror matter with antimatter to make dark matter in the Big Bang.
