The Ten Assumptions of Science presents the logically coherent set ofassumptions destined to define 21st century scientific philosophy. GlennBorchardt first explains why assumptions and not absolutes arenecessary for scientific thinking. By exploring the opposition betweendeterministic and indeterministic views, he clearly shows how criticalchoices among underlying assumptions either clarify or muddle scientificanalysis.He shows how customary mixtures of deterministic andindeterministic assumptions are responsible for the current confusion inmodern physics. According to Dr. Borchardt, only rare physicists andphilosophers have an inkling of the nature of time, space, energy, andmatter. The need for reassessing our fundamental assumptions isindicated by the present sorry state of cosmology. Otherwise intelligentscientists promulgate the idea that the universe expanded from a tiny"singularity" smaller than the period at the end of this sentence. Atthe very least, adherence to Borchardt's assumptions will contribute tothe rejection of the "Big Bang Theory," which has surpassed the flatEarth theory as the greatest embarrassment to serious thinkerseverywhere.Although the book makes an excellent supplement to collegecourses in scientific philosophy, it is an astounding eye-opener for theeducated reader with an interest in science and philosophy.
