Planck’s Principle - On the Evolution of Science

Why almost nobody has heard about Dr. rer. nat. habil. Norbert Schwarzer and his Quantum Gravity Theory?

Perhaps we find the answer in the so-called Planck's principle.

Science Progresses One Funeral at a Time!

Artist: Livia Schwarzer

According to Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck%27s_principle) this was formulated by Max Planck as follows [1]:

“A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it ...

An important scientific innovation rarely makes its way by gradually winning over and converting its opponents: it rarely happens that Saul becomes Paul. What does happen is that its opponents gradually die out, and that the growing generation is familiarized with the ideas from the beginning: another instance of the fact that the future lies with the youth.

— Max Planck, Scientific autobiography, 1950, p. 33, 97

Colloquially, this is often paraphrased as "Science progresses one funeral at a time".”

It is quite obvious that this principle can be derived from a generalized evolutionary concept [?], because as all living creatures also the old farts in science and their protégés are fighting for resources and only – if at all – secondarily for the scientific truth.

In other, which is to say in Norbert’s words: “…the true Fausts are very rare… and to make this absolute clear, I do not consider myself a Dr. Faustus myself. I’m also fighting for resources, just as my fellow next. Hence, you better check everything I say or write, prove my starting point, falsify my derivations and double-check my conclusions, PLEASE!”

Schwarzer, “The Mathematical Darwin – How Quantum Gravity Explains The Miracle of Evolution”, upcoming book-project: Since its first publication in 1859 “On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or The Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life” was never out of debate (and sale). Now we are ready for a “remake” because we have the math that proves Darwin – almost completely - right. We can show that evolution is a fundamental driving force of and within the universe and that it is just the other side of the coin which also holds the second law of thermodynamics. We will show that evolution reveals itself as a part of a comprehensive quantum gravity theory in which Einstein’s General Theory and Quantum Theory are unified. Many examples will be considered and special attention will be put on the co-evolution of man and machine.
