For Superior Scientific Synthesis

Philosophical Physics
The most fundamental science of reality.  This isn’t a math course like modern ‘physics’. In fact, modern ‘physics’ at best is really only a part of traditional physics, or what we like to call the General Science of Nature—at worst it confuses mathematical reality with physical reality. Modern physics does no more than observe and give laws of uniform behavior in sensible reality so that it can predicate and thereby control nature. But it gives no reason for the uniform behavior and it doesn’t seek to explain what nature is. The General Science of Nature does. In this course we start with the most unquestionable facts around us—things presupposed by the modern physicist—and we slowly work our way to the unknown aspects of natural reality using the rules that we established in Formal and Material Logic. We learn about change, and time, and space, and nature, and violence, and act, and potency, and a whole host of other topics. Eventually we arrive at the proof of an immaterial Prime Mover. Along the way we’ll confront some of the theories that modern physicists have invented because they overlooked the General Science of Nature and jumped straight into special studies of local motion; things like force and energy, matter and anti-matter, thermodynamics, quantum mechanics, relativity, etc.
