Noted pakistani author of books such as

Noted Pakistani author of books such as ''Islam: The Arab Imperialism'', ''Islam and Human Rights'', ''Islam: Sex and Violence'' etc, Mohammad Anwar Shaikh (popularly known as Anwar Shaikh) was a Pakistani-born author residing in Cardiff,United Kingdom.During the violent days of the Partition of India in 1947 he, then filled with Muslim nationalist fervor, killed on one day two Sikhs, a father and his son. In his youth, Shaikh was a young ardent believer. He later killed another Sikh. But when he reached the age of 25, he began doubting Islam and later became its ardent critic, and memories of his crime have haunted him ever since. Thereafter he immigrated into U.K., married a Welsh woman, and became a successful businessman.

Shaikh was living in Cardiff, Wales, when a fatwa was issued against him from his homeland Pakistan in 1995, where at least fourteen clerics issued death sentences against him for renouncing and criticising Islam.He died in Wales on 25 November 2006. .........

Furthermore we have 2 completely different and opposing sciences to describe this universe – the life sciences; biology, organic chemistry, and the physical sciences; inorganic chemistry, physics... Likewise we have a distinct separation between the spiritual and the scientific worlds although the spiritual realm is intrinsically linked to the life-sciences.

And so we may ask, is it not redundant to have 2 completely different sets of laws to govern a single universe, especially as biological systems clearly integrate seamlessly with physical systems.

We know there is a biological science, we ourselves are evidence of this, and so if there is only 1 set of laws that govern our universe, then these laws may be the laws of organic systems, in other words, the physical sciences may themselves be life sciences.

And so, if the universe itself is somehow organic in structure, then the mystery of the universe becomes the mystery of life itself.

The Physics: Science has developed a series of mathematical laws to explain observations of our universe. These are known as the Laws of Physics and are constructed upon the premise that there are constants that govern our universe. Every electron for example is the same as every other electron, gravity is the same everywhere and so forth. The leads to the question as old as mankind himself, although posed in different forms, essentially; is this a clockwork universe blindly following a mechanical set of rules or is this an 'organic' universe following a pre-determined pattern aka Intelligent Design.

Plato's Cave looks at the mathematics of a pre-determined universe where Intelligent Design is defined in the biological sense; that the universe is growing according to the same precepts that govern all organic systems. In other words, in the beginning there were no Laws of Physics, the planet earth and all within would however, like the electron, have been a predictable outcome of that initial information set (the Big Bang) in the same sense that the colour of my eyes was a predictable outcome of my own initial information set (the genetic code embedded into my DNA).

The premise being that our universe itself follows the same set of rules that apply to living systems rather than the mechanistic rules that we use in engineering. At the very lowest level, known as the Planck level, we find that the fundamentals of our universe can be described with simple geometrical shapes, the complexity of the universe, as with all organic systems, arises from time = specialization. A baby for example begins as a fertilised cell but after 3 months already resembles the human form and at 9 months can function independently of its mother.

Evolution via a cosmological natural selection process may then be seen as the construction technique used by our universe, the complexity of our universe reflecting the complexity of all living things. Under this definition, our universe is alive.

As the theory progressed, what was unexpected was that the formulas that were appearing were describing not the universe of modern physics but rather the universe of what is loosely known as the ancient mysteries. The axioms it seemed, could be taken from such luminaries as Pythagoras, Buddha, the Tao etc...

Those who are familiar with physics may refer to the website; www.planckmomentum.com The Ancient Mysteries The classic 1975 bestseller "Tao of Physics" by Dr. Fritjof Capra was an attempt to link the writings of the ancient philosophers and teachers (Pythagoras, Plato, Buddha, Tao etc)

with modern physics. However it, as with other contemporary attempts, was limited to an analysis of parallels, that the ancient view-point may somehow provide insights to quantum physics, and was unable to reach any significant conclusion.

In this text, Plato's Cave (taken from Plato's The Republic 'Allegory of the Cave'), I have taken axioms that resemble the ancient universe; in particular the 5 element theory of the universe (earth, water, fire, air, quintessence), the Matrix (all is number), the Harmony of the Spheres (Pythagoras), the Buddhist notion of Emptiness or Nothingness, the Taoist Yin-Yang, Og the Caveman's double spiral and so forth... and show how these may be used to re-interpret observations in modern physics.

What we then find is a universe that seems to operate according to the mathematics of biological systems... yet a universe whose only constructs are the 3 dimensions of motion; momentum, time and velocity... a universe that is no more physical or material than the shadows on the wall of a cave or images on a computer screen...

The question then becomes; could this organic "universe that isn't" also be a description of our own universe? read online at www.platoscode.com/ ..............
