The Last Scientific Revolution

Whereas today's spectacular technologic progress seems to strongly confirm the utility of underlying scientific activities, the modern state of fundamental science itself shows catastrophically accumulating degradation signs, including both knowledge content and organisation/practice [1-52]. That striking contradiction implies that we are close to a deeply rooted change in the whole system of human knowledge directly involving its fundamental nature and application quality rather than only superficial, practically based influences of empirical technology, social tendencies, etc. Science problems, in their modern form, have started appearing in the 20 century, together with accelerated science development itself [53-58], but their current culmination and now already long-lasting, welldefined crisis clearly designate the advent of the biggest ever scientific revolution involving not only serious changes in special knowledge content but also its qualitatively new character, meaning and role [37-42,47-52,59]. We specify below that situation, including today's science problems, related development issues and objectively substantiated propositions for sustainable progress. Summarising critically growing problems of modern science, it would be not out of place to begin with the internal science estimate by its practitioners and dynamics of its “human dimensions”. Increasingly dominating mediocrity of results, human choices and relations in today's fundamental science is expressed in a huge variety of public or private opinions (e.g. [1-42,45-49]) and presents a striking contrast not only to simultaneous triumph of empirically advancing technologies, but also to a previous, very recent (decades-old) and visibly huge, euphoric success of the same science, with ever brighter perspectives appealingly looming ahead. But more than ever “pride goes before destruction”, and the haughty spirit of seemingly omnipotent knowledge is “suddenly” transformed now into a dirty fight of vain ambitions accompanied by the “discovery” of omnipresent ethical decay in science practice (direct fraud or “officially permitted” lie, organisational corruption) [18-41] rather than any novel truth about reality. We reveal below the exact, rigorously specified reason for, and true meaning of, such dramatic “end of science” (cf. [3]), as well as much more positive perspectives of knowledge development far beyond its now ending, unitary level [38]. We show that scandalously stagnating old scientific problems, its supernatural “mysteries”, and increasingly accumulating, catastrophically big new paradoxes result from the artificially limited scheme of officially dominating, “positivistic” science approach, where the unreduced, interactiondriven, dynamically multivalued reality is replaced by its artificially fixed, effectively zerodimensional (point-like) projection [38-40]. That huge, maximum possible simplification of reality within the subjectively imposed unitary doctrine explains both its visible (though always strongly incomplete) success at the lowest levels of complex (multivalued) world dynamics and even more evident (and this time complete) failure to provide objective world description at higher complexity levels, marking the border between “exact” and “natural” sciences (let alone “humanities” and arts)
