      Disrupting Modern Science, Technology and Engineering - Azamat Abdoullaev

      World.

      Prologue

      It is the second book of monographic series of Science &Technology of the 21st century, devoted to the Big Knowledge Unification of Philosophy, Science, Arts, and Technology X.0.

      The idea of the Science X.0 and Technology X.0 is rooted in the terms Web 2.0 and its indefinite extension, the Web X.0, both superseding the old and static business model of Web 1.0 of Netscape.

      The Science X.0 & Technology X.0 & Engineering X.0 & Philosophy X.0 & Arts X.0 make the key parts of the Human Development Strategic Roadmap, showing the human civilization development path, combining scientific achievements, technological breakthroughs and engineering deeds with political, economic, social or organizational innovations.

      The Roadmap shows a high way to the New World of Science and Technology, Intelligence and Innovation, Progress and Prosperity:

      WORLD 1.0 (Industrial World):

      Science 1.0 > Physics 1.0 > Technology 1.0 > Engineering 1.0 > Economy 1.0 > Industry 1.0 > Infrastructure 1.0 > Network 1.0 > Telecom 1.0 > Internet 1.0 > Web 1.0 > Service 1.0 > Medicine 1.0 > Human 1.0 > City 1.0 > Government 1.0 > Nation 1.0 > Society 1.0 > Global Community 1.0 >…Space 1.0

      WORLD 2.0 (Post-Industrial Information World):

      Science 2.0 > Physics 2.0 > Technology 2.0 > Engineering 2.0 > Economy 2.0 > Industry 2.0 > Infrastructure 2.0 > Network 2.0 > Telecom 2.0 > Internet 2.0 > Web 2.0 > Service 2.0 > Medicine 2.0 > Human 2.0 > City 2.0 > Government 2.0 > Nation 2.0 > Society 2.0 > Global Community 2.0 >…Space 2.0

      WORLD 3.0 (Post-Information Smart World):

      Science 3.0 > Physics 3.0 > Technology 3.0 > Engineering 3.0 > Economy 3.0 > Industry 3.0 > Infrastructure 3.0 > Network 3.0 > Telecom 3.0 > Internet 3.0 > Web 3.0 > Service 3.0 > Medicine 3.0 > Human 3.0 > City 3.0 > Government 3.0 > Nation 3.0 > Society 3.0 > Global Community 3.0 >… Space 3.0 …>

      WORLD X.0 (Post-Human Singularity World):

      Science X.0 > Technology X.0 > Engineering X.0 > Economy X.0 > Industry X.0 > Infrastructure X.0 > Network X.0 > Telecom X.0 > Internet X.0 > Web X.0 > Service X.0 > Medicine X.0 > Human X.0 > > City X.0 > Government X.0 > Nation X.0 > Society X.0 > Global Community 3.0 >…Space X.0

      Philosophy, Science, Technology, Engineering, and Arts are the root causes of historical human development, determining all the future progress and prosperity of humanity as the socio-technological civilizations.

      Philosophy is knowledge of general principles of the world and its basic sub-worlds: elements, powers, causes, and laws. As reasoned science, it initiated natural philosophy, now natural science of physics, chemistry and biology. It is traditionally divided into ontology, a kind of suprascience, the general theory of the world, the science of all existence, its fundamental laws and forces, and phenomenology, dealing with visible and measurable changes, actions, facts, occurrences, or events of any kind, but neglecting the fundamental causes, forces and laws.

      Science is the systematic study of the world, looking for general truths, empirical laws, scientific theories, theoretical systems, and the operations of fundamental laws.

      Technology is generally viewed as the systematic study of techniques for changing the world, the human environment, by making and doing things, from simple machines to complex machinery, as cars or airplanes. It applies science to practice, the theoretical into the practical, associated with scientific products, artefacts, and the useful arts. There are as many technological sciences as scientific disciplines, mathematical, physical, chemical, biological, social, political, ecological, etc.

      The World itself consists of 4 major parts, the universe of Nature (World I), the domain of Mind (World II), the domain of Society and Human Culture (World III), and the realm of Technology and Engineering and Industry (World IV), which are interconnected via the fundamental entities, principles, rules and laws, as shown in Fig.1.

      All the world knowledge has to be grounded on a few fundamental principles of fundamental sciences, see SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY XXI: Physics X.0 & Technology X.0.

      All the branches of the world knowledge are interrelated, united and unified as in Fig.1., presenting the Universal Model of World Knowledge replacing the atomistic model of Western Science and Technology, as being more constructive and innovative, organic and constitutive.

      It is plain that the present (Western) science, technology and engineering, or science 2.0, technology 2.0, engineering 2.0 all is in need of being unified and humanized or disrupted.

      For the currently domineering Western Science and Technology is failing to meet new global challenges and opportunities, being fragmented, functional, and phenomenological, as well as consumerist and cheaply commercial, at the high costs of humanity and nature. It is now low efficient and nonproductive, scientifically unwise and non-intelligent, atomistic and narrow-minded, costly and wasteful, consumptive and destructive, militaristic and non-humanitarian.

      The ‘death toll’ of the narrow-minded scientific expertise can be as evil as a toxic $531 trillion US market of speculative financial instruments, so-called derivatives-like credit default swaps, with the world GDP of $ 62 trillion only at the time, the abysmal depths of expert stupidity.

      Mostly due to the Western science and technology, we live in the Trash World of Waste. The world’s leading power, the US, produces 25% of the world’s waste, including 40 m tons of hazardous waste, killing all living things, with a total recycling rate of 35% only, while its population makes less than 5% of the world’s population.

      Generally, the Western Science and Technology is irreversibly overspecialized, loosing the whole picture of the domain studied, being engaged with causeless functional relationships and visible phenomena, neglecting natural causes, underlying forces, and general truths about the nature of the world and humanity.

      As a result, while creating such functional communicating devices traded as smart phones with smart dealers, the unsustainability and weakness of science and technology 2.0 is exposing the whole human existence to life-threating global geopolitical risks, socio-economic crises and ecological destruction, globally and locally polluting nature, food, air, water and soil, and leaving to struggle with pain and poverty for a billion and more of the world population.

      Find below a short black listing of global risks form GLOBAL RISKS MAP 2012 (Source: World, http://reports.weforum.org/global-risks-2012/), showing the necessity of disrupting the science and technology of the 20th century:

      The modern science and technology 2.0 is failing to solve them, but rather enhancing more with Technological risks

      Environmental Risks

      Societal Risks of Medical Science and Technology

      Again, due to such a low sustainable science and technology, the Global Peace Index records a Historically Less Peaceful and More Unequal World, with declining peace and increasing violence, which economic impact on the global economy in 2015 was $13.6 trillion in PPP terms, making 13.3 per cent of the world’s economic activity (or gross world product), and 11 times the size of global foreign direct investment.

      Introduction

      We live in a turbulent time of transitions, transformations, revolutions and crises, which is emerging as the New Age XXI.

      From scientific discoveries and technological advancements and social revolutions and breakthrough innovations, the New Age XXI will bring massive never seen before changes to the way we live, think, and act.

      There is forecasting that the 21st century will be equivalent to 20,000 years of progress at today’s rate — about 1,000 times greater than the 20th century

      To navigate in the New Age of challenges and opportunities, tumult and uncertainty, we’ll need new world views, policies, ideas, ideologies, models and strategies, theories and practice for better sustainability, resilience and development.

      We’ll need new science and technology to prepare our wiser offerings for the emerging global, hyper-connected smarter world. It’s naïve to think that everything is in crises but science and technology which are naturally liable to revolutionary changes since its inception by Western Civilization.

      Western science and technology, pre-industrial, industrial and post-industrial, its history and development, is marked by the fast increasing specialization, isolation, and fragmentation in line with the economic idea of work division.

      It’s naïve to think that the fragmented science and technology should not be disrupted, while
