Does Nature Think? : A New Hypothesis of the Nature
There have been many explanations on the nature of human kind and plants in the natural sciences. We are trying to have a new hypothesis that has not been explored heretofore. This is about the nature of the Nature. This can be a controversial discussion with reference to the established scientific knowledge in the world.
Before proceeding to the discussion, we would like to introduce a few new meanings to some terms which can misinterpret.
Environment is everything surrounding a particular object, person, animal, plant or area. For example, environment of an elephant is all the things surrounding it. That may include, trees, animals, other elephants, microbes, wind, heat, soil, mountains, sky, rays, light, and etc etc. The environment of a tree can be the same. So the environment is defined always with reference to something we concern at the moment.
Sometimes, the term nature is used interchangeably with the term environment which is not correct mostly. Therefore, in this discussion we use a new term “the Nature” to represent “everything and nothing in everywhere and nowhere” or “all in the universe”.
Our hypothesis explains that there is a psychodynamic nature in the Nature. We know the other dynamics of the Nature through the different branches of science and there are expanded views of the gravitational forces, dark matter, horizons and other cosmological explanations. Apart from all of them, is there a psychological forces in the universe? Let us focus on some of the phenomena and incidents we know and try to see the systematic execution of them in the universe or in the world.
The matter is organized in a very systematic way in the universe. The matter is dynamic in a systematic way. That can not be explained gravitational forces alone. New terms come into play called dark matter and energy. Ecological balancing (equilibrium) is obvious phenomenon which can not be explained simply with biogeocycles or cause and effect theologies alone. When the equilibrium of a particular ecosystem is disturbed by addition or removal of particular component to / from the ecosystem, it tries to adjust it. There seems another force that makes the arrangements and timing.
Some balancing activities involves psychological forces too. Though the human life is always taken separately in explanations, it is a part of nature. The activities of human population is also a part of Natural phenomena. To balance the carbon cycle, coal or oil reservoirs may be required taken up to the top of the lithosphere. But due to the human activities, it has come to the surface. There seems a psychological force directing the intellectuals in different times of the history if we analyze it in detail.
When the human population is rising, natural balance was not enough in terms of natural disasters but human mind was also used through wars and conflicts. Diseases and health conditions alone is not working to manage the human population and thus some other mechanisms are being employed like concepts born in intellectuals. It seems that knowledge management is also a part of the Nature in its evolution. Family planning may not be effective enough to control the ever-growing numbers. While the number of barren families are increasing, some “recessive concepts or feelings” like homosexuality is now being used in this juncture.
We see a lot of repercussions for what we have done. We call sometimes divine retribution in Christian theologies or Karma in Buddhist philosophies. They can be explained in terms of evidences if we deeply investigate them. Its better to keep an open eye of science for unexplainable rather rejecting them due to lack of evidences captured with current knowledge and technologies.
In case of proving this hypothesis, understanding the Nature and its thinking pattern will be very much useful for the future of the mankind as well as life on the earth. Once we understand right, we can live with Nature. If not, the Nature will have to remove human population from the earth, so that the natural balance is in effect.
This hypothesis is yet to be developed with a conceptual and a theoretical framework so that we could come to decision whether this claim is true. Until then, we’ll keep searching. Your suggestions, critics and comments are welcome!
