All Types of Systems are Generally Comparable
General systems theory shows us there are commonalities between different types of physical and conceptual systems which we can study to better understand complex systems.
Philosophy
Philosophy is the study of the natural and theoretical nature of knowledge, reality, existence, and being. Philosophy can broken down into categories based on subject and technique. See the branches of philosophy.
Theory, Experiment, and Application Apply to all Arts and Sciences
We can apply the concepts of theory, experimentation, and application to all the arts and sciences. For instance we have theoretical physics, experimental physics, and applied physics.
Everything Depends on Frame of Reference
Everything we perceive depends on our frame of reference. What we observe is relative to our point of view. In other words, “it is all a matter of perspective”.
Physics is Different than Metaphysics
Physics is a branch of physical science rooted in math that asks “how does it work?” Metaphysics is a broad branch of philosophy that asks, “What is its true nature?”
Nothing Can Travel Faster Than the Speed of Light
No “thing” (including particles) can travel faster than light speed, but some “non-things” can. In both ways “nothing travels faster than the speed of light”.
Being Equal Means Having Equivalent Value
The term ‘equal’ can mean ‘identical’, but more-so it describes “equivalence.” For example, social equality describes equity, not “exact the sameness.”
People Can be Truly Unbiased
People can’t be truly unbiased; we are hardwired with bias and create bias constantly as part of the natural neurological process of learning.
Bayes’ Theorem Can Calculate Probable Truth
Bayes’ theorem is a probability theory used to calculate the likelihood of an event being true or not true based on conditions related to the event. (i.e. an equation used for calculating conditional probabilities).
Our Brains Can Process More than Language Can Express
The speed and complexity of our thoughts exceed our abilities of language and communication, specifically our ability to convey complex ideas.
We Learn Best by Being Taught
The best way to learn isn’t “being taught”, its mixing self-directed learning with the roles of student, peer, and teacher in different social settings.
