In the last eight years, I am conducting a Transdisciplinary research in the field of Natural Sciences and developing a “theory of everything”, totally unique and open to contradictory and suggestions, exactly as must be a scientific theory based on the principles of “Complex Thinking” of Dr. Edgar Morin. This is the most complete and comprehensive Transdisciplinary theory created to date, because it directly involves all disciplines of natural science – not limited to these – and has the potential to profoundly change the concepts of all these disciplines involved in the research. The object of this theory is the most important scientific discovery of the twentieth century – if not of all time – in the transdisciplinary point of view, which explains in a pragmatic and clear way, the dynamics of both cosmic and quantum universe, but until today it is restricted only to the quantum physics due to a deep scientific dogma that has become the most insane and absolute truth in the academic field, influencing scientific researches in all disciplines of Natural Sciences, because it is considered the “status Quo” of all these disciplines, which makes all these researches so monomaniacal and tendentious.

To illustrate the danger and consequences of scientific dogma to the development of science, it is very important to mention the lesson of the brilliant German psychologist Marie-Louise von Franz, who said:

“In the scientific field there is the danger of jumping to conclusions and generalizing. One aspect seems to fit things very well, and then you generalize; everything is the same idea. This gives rise to theories which are so monomaniacal, where one idea is hammered into every object, and if the object does not comply, you even cheat, because it must fit. That is hasty creativeness. In the history of science, for instance, most misguided ideas, in which humanity has been caught up in, sometimes for many hundreds of years (such as the Earth centered system), were caused by an idea which was so hastily generalized that it thereby blocked further investigation. One is so emotionally filled with a new discovery that this danger of killing everything by applying it in a too heedless and hasty way is one of the greatest dangers in creative activity. And it is very difficult to discipline”.

The great challenge of my Transdisciplinary Research is overcome the dogma that surrounds the transdisciplinary Object of my theory. Even the fact that the current theories on formation and dynamics of the Solar System; Earth’s magnetic field; Geodynamo; Pangaea(continental drift); Gaia (earth’s homeostasis); Sun’s coronal heating problem; Mercury planet temperature; Saturn rings dynamics; and many others, being more contradictory the more it is researched, and my Transdisciplinary Theory explaining all the major shortcomings of these current theories, based on genuine scientific knowledge which can be proved in lab, my theory still will find strong resistance to its acceptance in academia because of the way we organize the ideas in our minds and create a hierarchy of information where the sacred is the top of the pyramid; the scientific (deterministic and reductionist we learned in school) is below; our personal experiences and perception of the world come later; and finally, all the rest that do not fit into any of the above. Unfortunately, my theory is framed in the footer of the “knowledge Pyramid” because it hurts the sacred and the scientific, and this is not tolerable in the reductionist/deterministic logic. It is precisely for this reason that the Complex Thinking and Transdisciplinarity find such strength in academia, because they encourage the subversion of this hierarchy, calling us to review our concepts, to go beyond the disciplines, to consider the possibility of mistake and illusion in science, to learn how to receive the New and the Unexpected.

“The unexpected surprises us. Because we are too safely ensconced in our theories and ideas, and they are not structured to receive novelty. But novelty constantly arises. There is no way we can predict it exactly as it will occur, but we should always expect it, expect the unexpected. And once the unexpected has happened, we must be able to revise our theories and ideas instead of pushing and shoving the new fact in an attempt to stuff it into a theory that really can’t accommodate it.”

Edgar Morin

At this point, I would like invite you to a journey in the world of “Transdisciplinarity” and “Complex Thinking”. But if you want to do that, first of all you need follow the “rules”, because this only will be possible if your mind is open enough to be devoid of all prejudices, making it easier for you to move between different levels of reality in each discipline addressed, while maintaining a systemic view of the universe of the Object of my research in all dimensions of the matter researched.

Due to the fact I could not find on the Internet absolutely NO scientific research on the object of my theory, I started a genuine transdisciplinary research, even without knowing the meaning of this word at that time, by using the method of “Extensive Interpretation” and “Analog Application” of scientific knowledge from all disciplines involved directly or indirectly in the research, around a single object. In my opinion, this is the only path to a truly transdisciplinary approach. The term “go beyond the disciplines” that Dr. Basarab Nicolescu introduced in the concept of the word Transdisciplinarity, in my point of view, can only be achieved if the axioms used in the Object of a transdisciplinary research also introduces an unexpected element – not only new – and that can change concepts in all disciplines involved in this research. The degree to which an axiom is contrary to the knowledge currently accepted by the scientific community in all disciplines is directly proportional to its importance as a truly transdisciplinary scientific research.

In my opinion, the problem lies in the fact that the discussion of the topic “Transdisciplinarity” is restricted to academics, exactly those which are criticized by this concept, and also by the principles of the “Complex Thinking” of Dr. Edgar Morin. The current academic system of education, classical, based on Newtonian determinism and reductionism, has become a fertile environment for the proliferation of scientific dogmas and “absolute truths” that are often based on large sophistry. Moreover, the classical system fragmented knowledge in more than 8000 disciplines through the disciplinary hyperespecialization, making it virtually impossible for current scientists obtain a systemic view of the quantum and cosmic universe because they are imprisoned in an almost insurmountable barrier of each discipline which they are specialists.

“While the general culture was the possibility of seeking the contextualization of information or idea, the scientific and technical culture, because of their disciplinary and specialized feature, separates and compartimentalizes the knowledge, making it increasingly difficult for the placement of these in any context. The specialization abstracts, extracts an object from its context and group, rejects the link and intercommunication of the object with its environment, inserts it into the compartment of the discipline, whose borders arbitrarily break the “systemicity” (the relationship of a part with the whole) and the multidimensionality of the phenomena, and leads to mathematical abstraction, which operates a scission with the concrete, privileging all what is measurable, calculable and formalizable.”

Edgar Morin

To make an analogy with the problem of the hyperspecialization, I developed the following example:

Imagine that there is no profession of Civil Engineer and we want to build a 10-story building. So we gathered all the experts involved in the construction of a building to try a transdisciplinary approach in order to overcome the challenge to build this building without the presence of an engineer. Among all those involved we can mention the following experts: In concrete, in hardware, flooring, paint, plumbing, electricity, windows, doors, locks, security, etc.. Based on the brilliant work of Dr. Americo Sommerman, I dare to say that because of the hyperspecialization, no Multidisciplinary interaction occurs, and even if happen will be innocuous, superficial. Several interdisciplinary interactions occur depending on the affinities between these various specialists (eg, specialist in locks and doors.). But because of the very limiting feature of interdisciplinary interactions, they are innocuous in the context of the overall challenge of building a 10-story building. Transdisciplinary Interactions simply will not occur, first because of the hyperspecialization, restricting horizons of each specialist, but also because of the wide range of experts involved that inevitably lead to controversy and discord, making it all works fruitless.

Moral: Without the presence, in the academia, of the figure of an “Engineer of Sciences”, with at least 12 years to graduate, to create bridges between the disciplines, Transdisciplinarity can be just a utopia.

I must clarify that I’m not graduate in any of the subjects addressed by this work, which gives even more support for my Transdisciplinary research because I was not sufficiently “contaminated” by any of the “truths” or dogmas adopted by the scientific community, which allowed me to achieve a level of non-resistance to the unexpected and contradictory that it is only possible if the mind is devoid of prejudices, making it easier for me to move between different levels of reality in each discipline addressed, while maintaining a systemic view of the universe of the Object of my research in all dimensions of the matter researched. Without false modesty, my transdisciplinary “Theory of Everything,” directly involves all disciplines of natural science and has the potential to produce deep changes in all of them. And it was not by random that this theory based on Transdisciplinarity and Complex Thinking, came from outside academia.

Therefore, I dare say that I am the person best equipped to coordinate a possible transdisciplinary research project, not only for being the author of the theory and have more than 8 years experience on this Object, but mainly because I’m not from the academic field, which gives me also the neutrality and impartiality necessary to work with all disciplines indiscriminately.
