The climate change is one of the most contentious issues discussed in the public arena today. Environmental activists contend that the climate change is not an act of nature or God but is a result of human actions. Environmental critics do not see the degradation of the environment as merely a result of wrongheaded or misguided policies. Their critique goes much deeper. For many environmental activists, this degradation of reflects a fundamental flaw that is deeply rooted in our culture. They identify this flaw as anthropocentrism, or a worldview that assigns to humans and human values the primary place in the cosmic order. Their proposed solution is to reject this worldview and adopt a new egalitarian vision in which humans and the rest of nature will have equal value.
This article agrees with the view that anthropocentrism presents a real problem for our civilization. However, it takes a much broader approach to this problem that goes beyond the critique of environmentalists. First, it sees that the source of anthropocentrism lies much deeper than the environmentalists think. The source is the pattern in human thinking that emerged when early humans began to walk the face of this earth. Early humans did not see the important role of the process of creation in the way they perceive, interpret, and represent reality. The article explains the importance of the process of creation in the way we think. The article sees the source of anthropocentrism in the failure to recognize the importance of the process of creation and in the way this failure affects our thinking. This failure has resulted in a view of reality that is limited, exclusionary, and ultimately subjective. This failure has left humans no choice but to view reality through the prism of mental constructs that they create, which is the main source of anthropocentrism. Also, environmentalists see the problem of anthropocentrism primarily in its relationship to the environment. This article emphasizes that anthropocentrism is a broad phenomenon that affect many areas of our life.
Finally, the article examines major solutions that address the problem of anthropocentrism and offers their critique. It sees their principal common shortcoming in their exclusionary approach and outlines a new and inclusive approach.

Zen Buddhism is famous for its koans. These are
paradoxical anecdotes or riddles that demonstrate
the inadequacy of logical reasoning, and provoke
deep enlightenment regarding our core being. We
examine a famous koan, “the sound of one hand
clapping,” and find a new level of understanding
appropriate for our modern age.

In this article, we seek an alternative avenue--in contrast to the conventional hypercube approach--to reckon physical or abstract dimensions from an information perspective alone.
After briefly reviewing ``bit'' and ``quantum of information--it'', we propose a scheme to perceive higher dimensions using bits and concentric spherical shells that are intrinsically entangled.

In this article, we refine the elements of physics. We consider [primordial] matter and consciousness as eternal and the causes of the creation of the universe via causality. We regard causality as the fundamental and ecumenical principle of theuniverse. Furthermore, we define space and time in terms of cause and effect, and revisitother important notions in physics.

This paper presents an ontological model of reality (OM) based on time as a single category of being. The basis for the model is a zero time delay as an initial node for an expanding complete graph starting with a self-loop. A geometric series formula is introduced for mapping the zero time delay to physical time together with a multiverse tree model that allows physical time to progress in discrete finite steps larger than zero.

Based on the previous works of the authors and the concept of multilevel natural selection of E. Mayr, an evolutionary-ontogenetic approach to the development of the epistemology of clinical oncology has been proposed.
This approach includes Darwinist and Lamarckist models of evolution and does not conflict with all experience in the development of clinical oncology. It will allow to improve the effectiveness of clinical thinking in the field of oncology. We assume that it is applicable for the development of both the prevention and treatment of cancer based on the individuation of doctoring. During that physician can involve psychophysiological determinants of human cultural evolution.
Key words: evolution, natural selection, Darwinism, Lamarckism, ontogenesis, individuation, psychophysiology, oncology.

Human time is existential and relative. Each of us dwells within our historical time bubble. There is also a physical time that just exists until defined socially as meaningful. Spacetime, with its myriad geometric point “observers” is easy to grasp, but more wrong than right. Below our everyday world are physics dimensions logarithmically far inside where we could measure with photon instruments. The primary quasi-quantum dimensions have very high frequency electromagnetic time physics.

If this can be seen as a long way from the beginning of the ancient history, where humans have envisioned different new things and then invented them to make their life’s working smoother and easier, then it can be found that they have attributed their discoveries to various aspects and names of Gods and tried to signify their belief in the form of portraying the God’s powers through the nature of their discovery. Rather, in much modern times, when humans have developed the natural insights and prorated those in the form of a much more logically biased discovery, then, the atheists have started to dominate the scientific arena for their foreplay in the work of their discoveries. However, as time passes by, five special types of research communities have gathered to allocate their discovered data’s in the respective norms as such, i) Atheists to whom, there is in essence no God and nothing in this universe can be attributed to them. ii) Believer of only one God as a whole, where the principle of religious biasing is effluent and supreme in their regards of the physical laws associated with the life and stimuli, iii) Believer of multiple God’s as a whole which poses no such scientific evaluation but can be thought of as a conjugate mechanism for the creator of the universe, iv) A divine supreme, where there is exactly no God, but the whole universe is a manifestation of the nature, where nature indirectly focuses the presence of God’s or the supreme creator that maintains symmetry and working of the universe, v) The not-so-sure about mechanism of the God’s presence, where the researcher sometimes tends to belief in God when something magical happens and attribute all to their divine grace, or in times of failures where they accused them for not being philosophically intrinsic as to their own needs, and in times with the believe that, ‘we won’t believe what we can’t see!’, either in the middle of the good or bad moments or in general in a casual and carefree mode. But, this should be kept in mind, that, the Eastern mysticism has always signifies God’s action in terms of every scientific actions with a proper mythological essence which when accompanied by knowledge produces something so scientific in the ancient of the days, that modern day researchers also have had no options left than to attribute affirmation to the fantastic achievements in the ‘so’ ancient times discovery with a strict modern effluence. Therefore, to model this paper, I have gathered data’s and ideas from researchers of various fields mostly (PhDs) in their respective discipline, so as to emulate their minds in the norms of God and its associated beliefs.
