Nature does not negotiate, does not adapt to human desires, and does not forgive hubris. No matter how technologically and intellectually advanced humanity becomes, it remains bound by a higher system of rules it did not create. The future of civilization will depend on whether it chooses compliance and wisdom—or arrogance and self-destruction.
Nature programmed its behaviors once and for all, and it seems that since then it no longer concerns itself with the microscopic planet Earth. Or, to put it more precisely in modern terminology, its operation follows programmed rules and processes embedded in the core menu of a Big Data system. Thus, it proceeds harmoniously and perpetuates its mission and function as a well-tuned “machine,” without requiring repairs, upgrades in handling or functionality—perhaps even without the slightest trace of maintenance.
Now, if we once again enter the process of reproducing the well-known speculative questions and philosophical inquiries concerning the existence or non-existence of God, and the unresolved issues of “who, when, how” created or sustains the Universe, we will once more wander into an endless theoretical field of interpretations. These will share the fate of theories such as the Big… Hole and classical Physics, which at any moment can be overturned—even by gifted high school students of our time, enthusiasts of modern quantum mechanics within the field of physical science. The path here too is a dead end, and the reason is always the same: the finite and sluggish human Intelligence, even together with its modern “clone,” Artificial Intelligence, is unable to break the barrier of transcendence, to reach higher levels of reasoning, and to conceive, process, understand, and analyze all—or even the fundamental—questions we have raised above. We say such an achievement is impossible, at least at this stage of the collaboration and performance of the two forms of Intelligence. “Tomorrow,” perhaps, things will be different.
What remains indisputable, however, and proven by outcome, is this: Nature operates eternally and appears that it will continue to do so independently of human action. The validity of this rule, however, is governed by the principle that human activity does not exert destructive effects and does not proceed to criminal and degrading actions against it. For in such cases, even if not immediately, its intervention is certain—punitive and relentless.
The only permissible forms of human interference and intervention in the rules of Nature are those that concern either fields of activity, research, imitation, and discovery of its mechanisms for the improvement and evolution of civilization, or defensive measures against its violent reactions. Its laws, however, are programmed to be eternally accompanied by the defining attributes: “immutable, inalienable, inviolable, and timeless.” . Ultimately, non-negotiable.
And, of course, human compliance with them is absolutely binding. Any deviation from these fundamental rules of Nature is strictly forbidden, for it constitutes an act of HUBRIS, with devastating consequences for the perpetrator.
