54 CHAPTER 10. BIRTH OF MODERN PHYSICS
What conclusion will you draw: There is no partner for you in the world?
Is that all? Isn’t there another option, which you could explore? If you find
that there is one such option, then you are on the right track. But you have
to find out yourself be exploring the logical converse of there is a unique
aether, confirmed by the Michelson-Morley experiment.
10.7 From One to Many
Here is another clue: Greek mythology with is rich variety of different gods of
different qualities and capabilities, was followed by the monotheistic islamic
and christian religions with one allmighty god. In the Kingdom of Sweden
King Gustav Vasa merged in 1527 the Lutheran church with the kingdom
into one state-church or hurch-state. The Kingdom of Sweden was transformed
into a parliamentary democracy in 1917, the present King Carl XVI
Gustaf lost all political power in 1973, and the church was separated from
the state 1995. This is a process is from one mind to many minds, from
feudalism and monopoly to pluralistic market economy of the many. From
centralization to decentralization. Is there a similar developement in physics,
from monotheistic physics of one universal observer to a pluralistic physics
of many observers?
