The author, Miles Mathis, argues that modern science has become a bureaucratic and institutional enterprise that prioritizes funding, technology, and jargon over genuine discovery. In contrast, his own scientific approach is a solitary endeavor, free from funding, institutional support, and heavy reliance on computers. He posits that his success stems from a rejection of “Modernism” in all its forms, a realization he first encountered as a realist artist. He found that adhering to the rules and definitions of Modern art led to its destruction, and he discovered the same corruption in physics.
Mathis asserts that true scientific understanding, or epistemology, is not about data verification or complex calculations, but rather a relationship with Nature. He believes that good ideas originate from a genuine love and respect for the natural world, not from a mechanistic view of the brain. He explains that Nature communicates through photons, and that a person’s belief and openness to these connections are crucial for receiving inspiration. He criticizes modern physicists for their detachment from Nature and their focus on abstract operators, which he sees as the reason for physics’ stagnation since 1920.
To achieve genuine scientific progress, Mathis advises rejecting the dictates of modern science, including academia, authority, money, peers, publishers, computers, and prize committees. He emphasizes trusting one’s own judgment and perception, which he believes are informed by Nature, the ultimate arbiter of truth. He concludes by stating that he has achieved his scientific advancements by following this path, prioritizing the pursuit of solutions over external validation.
