Why This Matters

Some will ask why any of this matters. They may say that as long as the predictions work, the words do not matter. They may say that the equations alone are enough, and the stories are harmless decorations. This is not true. Words matter because words shape how people think. Words can hide truth as easily as they can reveal it.

When experts tell the world that emptiness expands, that time bends, or that rulers shrink, they train minds to confuse fantasy with fact. They teach generations to worship imagination dressed as knowledge. They make people afraid to trust their own eyes. They make people feel small and ignorant unless they kneel before the idol of jargon. This destroys clear thought.

Science should be a practice of honesty. It should describe what is seen and calculate what can be measured. When experts replace description with fantasy, science becomes priesthood. The people no longer hear truth. They only hear sermons of noise. They are told to believe, not to understand.

This matters because confusion weakens freedom. A confused people cannot tell the difference between numbers and myths. They cannot resist those who claim authority. They cannot defend the silence of truth against the roar of false prophets. To resist this, one must always return to what is observed. One must remember that silence exists beneath the noise.
