Reflections on Science, Economics, and Society

Albert Einstein famously stated that E=mc;, where energy equals mass multiplied by the speed of light squared. However, Max Planck had a different perspective, proposing that energy is dependent on frequency, expressed as E=HF  or E=HV, where V of F represents the frequency of radiation, and H is the Planck constant, named in his honor for its constancy.
When we combine these concepts, an intriguing idea emerges: mass is influenced by frequency. The energy conveyed by a single quantum is given by E = HV, where v is the frequency of radiation, and H is the Planck constant, a universal constant with a value of h = 6.626 ; 10;;; Joule·seconds in the International System of Units (SI).
In essence, whether denoted as f or v, the frequency has a constant value, and energy is intricately linked to it. This observation leads us to consider the profound connections between science, economics, and society.
Aristotle once elevated poetry above history, recognizing the power of poets to capture the essence of life's rhythms and events. He found drama where others could not, making poets essential to society. Heidegger, in his treatise on poets, deemed poetry as the essence of life. Poets shape the rhythm of existence and events, seeing the drama where others might miss it.                Poets transcend time, ever-changing yet uniquely relevant, reflecting the zeitgeist of their era. They are the social scorers, capturing the spirit of the moment. Therefore, the importance of poetry extends to music, once inseparable from it and still deeply intertwined.
Returning to worldly matters, the historian Pivovarov's caution, "Be cautious with justice," holds significant weight. History serves as a reminder that careful consideration is crucial. Some are born with everything, while others have nothing, with both groups having never toiled.
Adam Smith, delving into practical economics, pondered the cultivation of moral sentiments in individuals. He realized that material conditions and circumstances indeed impact human development. Smith's book, "An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations," emerged from these reflections. Smith analyzed the balance sheet, examining income and expenses. He explored number- 70 account for wages and 22 for profit, all while starting with the concept of surplus value, much like Karl Marx. According to this idea, a suit should cost more than the materials involved, as it also represents the craftsmanship of the tailor. Thus, the tailor should share in the profit, not just receive a wage. In capitalist society, however, all profit flows to the capitalist. While progressive capitalists reinvest in technology, improve working conditions, and incentivize their employees, others prioritize luxury. In the end, they deplete resources, close factories, and cast out exhausted workers.
Marx further developed this line of thought, proposing that if factories were collectively owned by the workers, such excesses would cease. Competent managers and engineers would prioritize improved working conditions and technology, leading to a new type of state that values every citizen, regardless of social status. This perspective reflects the idea that history unfolds through the interplay of families, clans, tribes, and unions of tribes, eventually forming states.
As for the argument that atheism leads to violence, Moses, one of history's religious figures, famously committed an act of violence to free his people from slavery. It's important to remember that religion is a personal choice and may not necessarily have much in common with science. However, the tenet of "Thou shalt not kill" is central to many religions. Yet, history is replete with religious wars, inquisitions, pogroms, and conflicts among different faiths.
In conclusion, the intersection of science, economics, and society is complex and thought-provoking. These intertwined realms require careful consideration and a recognition of the nuanced relationships between them. The path forward involves fostering a society that values the well-being of all its members, regardless of their social status, and promoting progress through collaboration and innovation.
