Science Has No Forbidden Zones: Uphold Eastern Wisdom, Reclaim the Ultimate Discourse Power of Human Civilization

Sun Zuodong

The ultimate exploration of human civilization inevitably circles back to the fundamental proposition: whether the soul exists and what its essence is. This stands as the innermost spiritual highland of carbon-based civilization, as well as a commanding height of civilization competed for globally. Whoever can interpret the origin of the soul through science will hold the spiritual discourse power over human civilization.

Looking back at modern history, a number of landmark judicial cases in the West have artificially severed the inherent connection between science and spirituality.

In the 1925 Scopes Monkey Trial in Tennessee, USA, religious forces banned the teaching of evolution in public schools, bringing the instructor involved to court.

In the 1982 McLean v. Arkansas case in Arkansas, USA, local authorities required evolution and creationism to be taught side by side. The judge ruled creationism fell into the category of religion and must be barred from science classrooms.

In the 1987 Edwards v. Aguillard case in Louisiana, USA, the Supreme Court ruled that mandating equal instruction of creationism alongside evolution violated the principle of separation of church and state.

In the 2005 Dover Area School District case in Pennsylvania, USA, religious forces attempted to sneak intelligent design theory into science education under a disguise. The court judged it religious in essence and prohibited it from interfering with natural science teaching and research.

This series of rulings has virtually clamped ideological shackles on the scientific community, solidifying a rigid boundary where science exclusively studies the material world and religion monopolizes the spiritual realm. Such artificial division of cognition is not only intellectual confinement but also a manifestation of rigid and conservative thinking.

Science ought to explore laws based on inherent laws alone, taking natural truth as its sole criterion, unshackled by religious prejudices and worldly stereotypes. Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, Christianity, Islam and other major cultural origins have probed the cosmic principles and the essence of life from diverse perspectives, implying the profound connotation that all religions converge into one and all laws stem from the same origin—far from the fallacy superficially defined by the secular world.

Today, the whole world is vying for the high ground of spiritual civilization. The West often wraps itself in concepts such as quantum physics in an attempt to seize the right to interpret the origin of the soul. Meanwhile, China has long been mired in the ideological dispute between idealism and materialism, imposing self-restraints instead. Endowed with a millennia-old cultural heritage, we have nonetheless stalled in exploration.

Artificial intelligence constructs its logical system with 0s and 1s, and the underlying logic of binary numbers aligns with the origin of all things. The evolutionary trajectory of AI also indirectly proves that inorganic matter can evolve life-level intelligence, laying the groundwork for exploring the essence of the soul.

Throughout the course of scientific development, many top scholars turned to the ultimate topics of life in their later years. Newton devoted his entire life to studying natural laws and delved deep into the fundamental driving force of the universe in his old age. Einstein advanced to the cutting edge of physics and spent his lifetime pursuing the unified laws of the cosmos. Nikola Tesla left behind numerous unpublished manuscripts containing forward-thinking reflections on life and consciousness. Francis Crick, who discovered the double helix structure of DNA, dedicated himself to neuroscience after achieving great fame, stating plainly that his core mission was to explore the essence of the soul.

Though remarkable in the field of physics, Yang Chen-Ning reflected on the cosmic order of creation in his later years, yet he did not leave a clear research roadmap for the scientific exploration of the soul and consciousness as Crick did.

Constrained by the limitations of their era and academic circles, generations of scientific pioneers only dared to venture into the sensitive realm of the soul after attaining career success—a regret on the path of scientific exploration.

From the perspective of Eastern civilization, Chinese cultural heritage stretches back for millennia. The I Ching of the Zhou Dynasty laid the foundation of yin-yang dialectics, opening the source of wisdom for perceiving heaven, earth and comprehending life. The Tao Te Ching reveals the evolutionary laws of the universe with the saying "The Tao begets the One; the One begets Two; Two begets Three; Three begets all things", already touching upon the inherent logic of life and consciousness.

Eastern wisdom has long led humanity’s understanding of spirit and life. With five thousand years of cultural accumulation, it is inherently qualified to stand atop the highest commanding height of human civilization.

The essence of consciousness is electromagnetic waves—a conclusion that bridges the gap between Eastern philosophy and modern science. The human brain functions as a sophisticated biological signal base station, with neurons inherently capable of signal sending and receiving. Brain activity generates exclusive electromagnetic waves, and human memory, personality, thinking and consciousness all form a one-of-a-kind electromagnetic information fingerprint. The so-called soul is essentially an objective electromagnetic phenomenon derived from human life activities, which can be fully empirically studied and scientifically verified based on materialist theories and physical laws.

The state has always attached great importance to basic research, emphasizing the consolidation of the source of the scientific system and striving for more original breakthroughs from scratch. Research on the soul, consciousness and the origin of life constitutes the most fundamental underlying proposition of basic science. It bears on the trajectory of civilization and cognitive innovation, and must never be conceded to others, allowing external forces to monopolize the right of interpretation.

China, a great nation with an unbroken millennia-old civilization, has witnessed the contention of a hundred schools of thought and the integration and symbiosis of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. Eastern wisdom has always guided the advancement of human cognition. In the new era, we must not fall behind in the competition of civilizations, nor should we impose self-restrictions and cling to stereotypes, missing the historic opportunity to lead humanity’s ultimate exploration.

Science has no inherent forbidden zones, and exploration should never be confined by worldly boundaries. We must break the artificial divide between science and religion, matter and spirit, abandon one-sided views and rigid prejudices, face up to the study of the soul, and delve into the origin of life. Rooted in the foundation of Eastern wisdom, we shall interpret the true meaning of spirituality through scientific demonstration, firmly hold the innermost spiritual highland of carbon-based civilization, and anchor the ultimate discourse power of human civilization firmly on the land of the East.
