Only by transcending can new horizons be discovered!
Who would object to the fact that the scientific knowledge that humans occasionally possess has no horizons? Of course, it does, otherwise, by definition, we would possess absolute knowledge. Is there any objection to the fact that the broadening of the horizons of knowledge is only possible by transcendence? Of course not, since in order to move beyond, man has only to question and/or expand and/or extend and/or broaden and/or re-establish cognitive data handed down from the past.
Well, let’s take an example from the cognitive facts of our time in the field of electricity. What do we know about the lighting of a light bulb? Well, we have to connect its contacts to the poles of a battery in order to have a closed electrical circuit, i.e. the passage of electric current.
What would you say if, instead of a connected circuit, the required energy was supplied to the lamp by a changing magnetic field? Does that remind you of anything? Well, yes, an application of the Faraday's law, i.e. the relationship between the rate of change of magnetic flux (Φ) through a loop to the magnitude of the electro-motive force ℇ induced in the loop as generally is given by the formula: ℇ= dΦ/dt (or more specifically, for a coil with N turns, by ℇ=-N dΦ/dt). This is understandable and feasible.
But how about, next, expanding on this thought? That is if we tried to imagine something further away. Using this principle, lets imagine, for instance, how we could activate, "light up", like saying, a Black Hole or possibly even a Neutron Star. We would need, of course, a very strong magnetic field.
A brilliant field of glory!
