• challenge (or, even, refute) a prevailing theory, often involving the device known as
reductio ad absurdum, (as in Galileo's original argument, a proof by contradiction),
• confirm a prevailing theory,
• establish a new theory, or
• simultaneously refute a prevailing theory and establish a new theory through a
process of mutual exclusion.
• Scientists also use thought experiments when particular physical experiments are
impossible to conduct (Carl Gustav Hempel labeled these sorts of experiment
"theoretical experiments-in-imagination"), such as Einstein's thought experiment of
chasing a light beam, leading to Special Relativity. This is a unique use of a scientific
thought experiment, in that it was never carried out, but led to a successful theory,
proven by other empirical means.
Find Answer for the following
thought experiment
• A 's thought experiment of chasing a light
beam, led to The Principle of Relativity.
• B ’s thought experiment of chasing
rationalism led to A Brief History of Time:
From the Big Bang to Black Holes.
• C ’s thought experiment following light of
light led to The Theory of Genesis.

1. The Human Brain
The Human Brain
The human brain is the most complex system on earth, yet it is too
often used in schools primarily as a simple device for storage and
retrieval of information. It is now known from the research that the
human brain can change structurally and functionally as a result of
learning and experience, for better or for worse. New neural
connections that make it possible for us to learn and remember and
problem-solve and create can continue to form throughout life,
particularly when human beings are in environments that are positive,
nurturing, stimulating and that encourage action and interaction. Such
environments are opposite from dull, boring, rigid environments in
which students are the passive recipients of information.
Brain and Nervous System
What is Cybernetics?
• Control and Communication in Animals and
Machines
– Norbert Wiener
“Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails”
- Proverbs 19:21 (Bible)
Where the decisions?
• The mouth speaks out of that which fills the
heart.
- (Jesus Christ) Matthew 12:34
Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all
your strength and with all your mind; and, Love your neighbor as yourself.
- (Jesus Christ) Luke 10:27
Is Life a work of two worlds?

Rational Teaching
Cybernetics never denied God, but was discussing about a God
which is rational, and can do things. Cybernetics has distinguished
between God and Golem, when a world fell in to hell due to religious
coercion. When Great Britain was constructed to conquer the Earth
through physical force, USA was constructed to conquer the Earth
through Word of God. Cyberneticians never looked in to a futile work.
Cybernetics encouraged rational thinking. Circular Causality theory
was one of the basic thinking approach among cyberneticians. We can
think that the cybernetic thought enlightened a dark world. The Bible
encouraged to sleep than doing a futile work. Cybernetics takes as its
domain the design or discovery and application of principles of
regulation and communication. Cybernetics treats not things but ways
of behaving. It does not ask "what is this thing?" but "what does it do?"
and "what can it do?“, which increased the productivity and efficiency.
Because numerous systems in the living, social and technological world
may be understood in this way, cybernetics cuts across many traditional
disciplinary boundaries. The concepts which Cyberneticians develop
thus form a metadisciplinary language by which we may better
understand and modify our world. Cybernetics is teaching about self
regulatory machines.
Facts about creation
• For God creation is a continuous process, where necessary
changes are made by God.
• Whatever creation that we makes is a replica made by
God, just like how the living beings progenies their
offspring.
• The relationship is same as that between Class and Object
in the OOP concept in Computers, where the Object should
be exactly as how the Class is designed.
• The definition of Research is given in the Bible as
follows; where God re-search a past event.
“That which is has been already and that which will be
has already been, for God seeks what has passed by” in
Ecclesiastes 3:15
Defensive Life Style
• One important reality in the world, which we must
understand is lots of forces exist in the world
which inspires to break the law of God, where we
need to keep the law of God, which is the Power
of Word of God so that if anybody breaks it, they
will perish.
• So we teach a Defensive Life Style, where all laws
of God are individually kept instead of looking in
to others justifications.
• Here to understand the Word of God, we need to
get the spirit from God.
God and Golem, Inc.
• It is a book written by Prof. Norbert Wiener, who
is known as the Father of Cybernetics.
• He discusses about a rational God, which is named
as God, and an irrational God, which is named as
Golem.
• God is defined in Genesis 1:1, and Golem is
defined in Psalm 139:16, in the Bible.
• God gave us freedom to select God or Golem.
• The world is created out of God and Golem.
• As Norbert Wiener argued, God can lift anything
He created, including the Universe, even through
His imagination.
SECURITY
• Everybody is concerned about their security now a
days, because we are living in such an unsecured world
now.
• Secure for Security, do not to steal.
• The Sky (Heaven) and Earth should be bonded together
so that no evil forces enters inside the secured place.
• We need to secure our body and spirit.
Unless the LORD builds the house, its
builders labor in vain. Unless the LORD
protects a city, guarding it with sentries will do
no good.
- Psalm 127:1(Bible)
Cyberspace
• It is used to describe the virtual world of computers. For example, an
object in Cyberspace refers to a block of data floating around a
computer system or network. With the advent of the Internet,
Cyberspace now extends to the global network of computers. So, after
sending an e-mail to your friend, you could say you sent the message
to her through Cyberspace. However, use this term sparingly, as it is a
popular newbie term and is well overused.
• Binaural beats or binaural tones are auditory processing artifacts, or apparent sounds,
the perception of which arises in the brain for specific physical stimuli. This effect was
discovered in 1839 by Heinrich Wilhelm Dove.
• The brain produces a phenomenon resulting in low-frequency pulsations in the loudness
and sound localization of a perceived sound when two tones at slightly different
frequencies are presented separately, one to each of a subject's ears, using stereo
headphones. A beating tone will be perceived, as if the two tones mixed naturally, out of
the brain. The frequency of the tones must be below about 1,000 to 1,500 hertz for the
beating to be heard. The difference between the two frequencies must be small (below
about 30 Hz) for the effect to occur; otherwise, the two tones will be heard separately
and no beat will be perceived.
• Binaural beats are of interest to neurophysiologists investigating the sense of hearing.
Second, binaural beats reportedly influence the brain in more subtle ways through the
entrainment of brainwaves and can be used to reduce anxiety and provide other health
benefits such as control over pain.
WORD
In English Dictionary Word is defined as:
• A unit of language, consisting of one or more spoken
sounds or their written representation, that functions
as a principal carrier of meaning. Words are composed
of one or more morphemes and are either the smallest units
susceptible of independent use or consist of two or three
such units. Words are usually separated by spaces in
writing, and are distinguished phonologically, as by
accent, in many languages.
How WORD formed?
• The biological function of thought process to create word is explained as follows. A
neuron (also known as a neurone or nerve cell) is an excitable cell in the nervous
system that processes and transmits information by electrochemical signaling.
Neurons are the core components of the brain, the vertebrate spinal cord, the
invertebrate ventral nerve cord, and the peripheral nerves. A number of specialized
types of neurons exist: sensory neurons respond to touch, sound, light and numerous
other stimuli affecting cells of the sensory organs that then send signals to the spinal
cord and brain. Motor neurons receive signals from the brain and spinal cord and
cause muscle contractions and affect glands. Interneurons connect neurons to other
neurons within the brain and spinal cord. Neurons respond to stimuli, and
communicate the presence of stimuli to the central nervous system, which processes
that information and sends responses to other parts of the body for action. All body
cells are connected through an invisible spirit through which communication also is
made. Actually all sensations are available to our Lord through this communication
process, which is attached to God. This is the importance of the electrochemical
signalling, where chemical process is the body, the electrical process is combined
with body of God through Lord, where there is a possibility of curing diseases
through Word of God.
“There are many thoughts in the heart of a man: but the purpose of the Lord
will prevail.”
- Proverbs 19:21 (Bible)
How SPIRIT is formed?
• A logical arrangement of the words forms a spirit.
Here each generate their words and chooses other
words, where a legal system create genuine and
secured world, where other create an adulterated and
highly insecure world.
• Spirit is thirsty of getting Water of Life always.
• Water of Life is essential to form words. i.e. To
produce Knowledge
• This is the picture showed initially.
"Any portion of the material universe which we choose to separate in thought from the rest of the universe for the purpose
of considering and discussing the various changes which may occur within it under various conditions is called a system."
- Willard Gibbs
NOOSPHERE
Noosphere is a term in Cybernetics modeled after biosphere
signifying (a) the space occupied by the totality of information and human knowledge
collectively available to man, which is also known as SKYNET (S-NET) and (b) The
processes operating in this space, e.g., combinatorial mating, classification, reproduction,
simplification, and selective decay. The two sides of the information superhighway
known as Cyberspace are INTERNET (which is the visible, tangible side) and SKYNET
or S-NET (which is the invisible, intangible side). Noology is the science dealing with
SKYNET, which is the biological networking of human beings. The noosphere can be
seen as the "sphere of human thought” was being derived from the Greek νους (nous)
meaning, "mind" in the style of "biosphere". In the original theory of Vernadsky, the
noosphere is the third in a succession of phases of development of the Earth, after the
geosphere (inanimate matter) and the biosphere (biological life). Vladimir Ivanovich
Vernadsky (1863-1945) was a Russian, Ukrainian mineralogist and geochemist whose
ideas of noosphere were an important contribution to the Russian cosmism. He was a
founding father of several new disciplines, including geochemistry, biogeochemistry, and
radio geology. Just as the emergence of life fundamentally transformed the geosphere, the
emergence of human cognition fundamentally transformed the biosphere, in contrast to
the conceptions of the Gaia, (Gaea, meaning "earth" or "land") theorists, or the promoters
of Cyberspace. They hypothesized that the living matter of the planet functioned like a
single organism and named this self-regulating living system after the Greek goddess
Gaia.
NOOSPHERE
Vernadsky's noosphere is not something that is just now coming into
being, or will emerge in the future; it arrived with the birth of the first cognitive human
being, and is manifested throughout the geosphere and biosphere in the form of human
intervention, which principally takes the form of physical economic development of the
planet. Noosphere is also sometimes used to refer to a transhuman consciousness
emerging from the interactions of human minds. This is the view proposed by the
Christian mystic and theologian Pierre Teilhard de Chardin (French Jesuit priest trained
as a paleontologist and a philosopher; 1881-1955), who added that the noosphere is
evolving towards an ever-greater integration, culminating in the Omega Point—which he
saw as the ultimate goal of history, which we achieved in these times. The term Cyber
war is also associated with the war that is going on in the noosphere. I introduced this
topic in this paper so that to bring an attention about this among teachers and students so
that teaching, learning and evaluation will be more simplified. Sirach (Ecclesiasticus)
39:15-16 verses in the Bible said “while he remains, he leaves behind a name greater
than a thousand, and when he will rest, it will be to his benefit. I will meditate further, so
that I may explain, in silence, for I have been filled with a passion”. This clearly explains
about a process, which happens in the noosphere, during the intellectual process, in the
Bible. Teachers should recognize themselves about a mental labor in which they are
engaged, as a teacher or writer, for which the teachers have to keep their holiness in
spirit especially as role models to the society.
6. Why Science is an imperfect
method to know the truth?
• Science is organized knowledge and systematized
inquiry.
• It is the classification of things into analogous
and derived types.
• It is the discovery of the practical uses of
knowledge.
• It is the identification, and fitting together, of the
continuities and discontinuities of things.
• It is the ability to make reliable and accurate
predictions about things in general.
6. Why Science is an imperfect
method to know the truth?
Before we start to study anything, first we need to
know about the system, about which we are going to study. For
example, when we study about drawing pictures, we should know
that we are going to draw a picture on a two-dimensional space.
Some times we may be drawing pictures of an object in a three
dimensional space on a two dimensional paper, where we need to
know that we are mapping a three dimensional world in to a two
dimensional paper, and the necessary techniques for that has to be
developed, where we should have an understanding about a two
dimensional system and a three dimensional system. If we wanted
to understand the Theory of Relativity of Albert Einstein, we
should have an understanding about a four dimensional system.
6. Why Science is an imperfect
method to know the truth?
So in any scientific study we are working on a system, as
defined by Willard Gibbs. All scientific studies are working on a cybernetic
loop of regulations through control and feedback, which are motivated through
the questions of what?, why? And how?. This is done through gustatory,
olfactory, tactile, kinesthetic, auditory and visual information processing. Most
linguistic, cultural, and physical learning is derived from the environment by
observing or taking in through the senses. To know a wine it must be drunk; to
know a role it must be acted; to know a game it must be played; to know a
dance it must be moved; to know a goal it must be envisioned. But even if all
these are processes are done using the visible sensory information, this process
also uses invisible sensory information that is deriving from God, where a
decision is made in the mind, which is part of God, where heart is acting as a
source of various inputs to the mind. Being the art and science Cybernetics is
involved in this process it can also be called as the science of the intellect,
where it works on a system of two worlds, a visible, tangible world and an
invisible, intangible world. The science Noology explains how this happens in
the intellectual world.
6. Why Science is an imperfect
method to know the truth?
To know the truth we need an environment, where
truth and justice reigns, which is derived from God. We should
know that the earth - which is tangible and visible - is installed
in a sky – which is intangible and invisible – according to the
physical senses of a human. But humans also perceive
information through a sixth sense. But under a heaven cursed by
the Lord this information contains lots of hallucinations, where
the betrayed mind betrays us, where the only one way to get rid
of trouble is to be in truth, justice and realities always - in
thoughts and deeds, in spirit and body - and believe the words in
Psalm 1:6, For the LORD watches over the way of the righteous,
but the way of the wicked will perish, where only pure water of
life flows.
6. Why Science is an imperfect
method to know the truth?
The present science is concerned only about a tangible
world, where the physical senses only are used to determine facts, and
we got no training to get introduced in to the intangible world, where
the importance of the thinking skills we need to develop, comes in to
picture. Though we are familiarized with the word intuition, we never
got any training to understand it, which has to be solved. We also need
to get acquainted with the terms assimilation and apperception.
Assimilation and apperception are the process involved in the
formation of the spirit, which is the software of a human. If the spirit
is formed in a logical order then only it is going to lead to eternity and
everlasting life. These spirits are going to reign and rein the world,
which is controlled through Water of Life and fire by God.
6. Why Science is an imperfect
method to know the truth?
Science is organized knowledge and systematized
inquiry. Cybernetics is also the science of effective organization.
When we organize anything from basics and in a logical order we may
find certain missing links. The science itself is trying to find it. But do
we know where it fails? This led to a number of new findings in the
world. The ultimate is the invention of God itself. Science also is the
rigorous separation of truth from speculation, the methodical
distillation of massive appearances and possibilities into the least and
simplest realities. Science also is the ability to make reliable and
accurate predictions about things in general, where we define a
professorship as when a professor is able to make prophecies,
when knowledge and experience gathers together in their spirit,
when their disciples realizes it.
7. Conclusion
Keeping the words of Prime Minister at the Indian
Science Congress this year in mind, inspiring to give freedom to the
science, we submit this paper to give freedom for the thought,
introducing new concepts in the teaching, learning and evaluation
process. Keep in mind that our slavery starts in the thought level,
when curse occurs on us by the Lord, darkness start to flow through
our thought, which enslaves, torture and kill us, from which the earth
is getting a redemption now. As Cybernetics is the science that deals
with these areas, we gave an idea about teaching, learning and
evaluation through the eye of Cybernetics, as a science of government
too.
Sirach (Ecclesiasticus) 51:22-38
“I found much wisdom within myself, and I benefited greatly by
her. I will give glory to Him who gives wisdom to me. For I have decided that I
should act according to wisdom. I have been zealous for what is good, and so I will
not be confounded. My soul has struggled for wisdom, and in doing so, I have been
confirmed. I extended my hands on high, and I mourned my ignorance of her. I
directed my soul toward her, and I found her within knowledge. From the
beginning, I held my heart to wisdom. Because of this, I will not be forsaken. My
stomach was stirred up while seeking her. Because of her, I will hold a good
possession. The Lord has given me a tongue as my reward, and I will praise Him
with it. Draw near to me, you who are untaught, and gather yourselves into the
house of discipline. Why are you reluctant? And what do you have to say about
these things? Your souls are exceedingly thirsty! I have opened my mouth, and I
have spoken. Buy wisdom for yourselves without silver, and subject your neck to
her yoke, and let your soul accept her discipline. For she is close enough to be
found. See with your own eyes how I have labored only a little, and have found
much rest for myself. Take up discipline, as if it were a great sum of money, and
possess an abundance of gold in her. Let your soul rejoice in His mercy. For you
will not be confounded by His praise. Accomplish your work before the time. And
He will give you your reward in His time.”

When the Earth is
immersed in water,
two hands raises the
Holy Bible before
Eye of Providence,
during the end
times, when
everybody
understands God
and realizes what
the cross on top of
the Bible is.
“They will neither harm nor destroy on all my holy mountain, for the
earth will be full of the knowledge of the LORD as the waters cover the
sea”
-Isaiah 11:9 (The Bible)
Jonah 2:2-9
‘I called to the Lord out of my distress and he answered
me; out of the belly of hell I cried, and you heard my voice. 3 You
cast me into the deep, into the heart of the seas, and the flood
surrounded me; all your waves and your billows passed over me. 4
Then I said, “I am driven away from your sight; how shall I look again
upon your holy temple?” 5 The waters closed in over me; the deep
surrounded me; weeds were wrapped around my head 6 at the roots of
the mountains. I went down to the land whose bars closed upon me
for ever; yet you brought up my life from the Pit, O Lord my God. 7
As my life was ebbing away, I remembered the Lord; and my prayer
came to you, into your holy temple. 8 Those who worship vain
idols forsake their true loyalty. 9 But I with the voice of
thanksgiving will sacrifice to you; what I have vowed I will pay.
Deliverance belongs to the Lord!’
