THE KEY ROLE OF SCIENCE IN THE NEW EVANGELIZATION

Ateneo Pontificio Regina ApostolorumRome, May 2013

ThesisWe humans, with a soul,

may learn from recent advancements

regarding natural complexity

in order to find the peace of Christ

and share the good news in a novel way…

A game for kids

1the game defines a multiplicative cascade

The cascade, twelve levels later

h=56.69 𝑝=0.7

intertwined thorns via layers having distinct densities

h=56.69 𝑝=0.7

intertwined thorns via layers having distinct densitiesultimate support on each of the layers is dust

h=56.69 𝑝=0.7

… the game generates a multifractal

h=56.69 𝑝=0.7

… the game generates a multifractalit is hard to walk …

Another game for kids

… the two games are intimately related

Accumulated masses of clay

is total modeling clay from 0 to

... following the dynamics:notches above: etc.

plateaus below: : etc.

cumulative sets have no derivatives at many points and are locally flat

and same maximal length if

and same maximal length if when combining the games and adding randomness

A veritable deception

a devil’s staircase…

Turbulence and the first game

An optimal system?

5, 10, 20 and 40% largest thorns have57, 70, 84 and 95% of the mass

𝑝=0.7 𝑛=20

An optimal system?

quite close to the United States: 59, 71, 84 and 95%

𝑝=0.7 𝑛=20

… as both cascades dissipate the energy,if we ride them, they will lead us to bite the

dust…

it is hypocritical to judge if we are “far away” from the point

Pathways

Two options before us

two pathways ahead,

the one is the longest

the other straight.

We journey directlyor go by the legs,we follow intentlyor end up in pain.

By walking the flatness

or hiking the spikes,

we travel in lightness

or take serious frights.

The incentive is unity

and the call proportion,the key is

forgivenessand the goal true

notion.

In wandering wickedness

there is never fruit,but in ample humbleness

one encounters the root.

There is no excuse,o listen my friend:

it’s by the hypotenuse

or else by the legs.

There is no solutionbut walking

straight:the spikes of

disorderinsinuate the way.

It is true!

There is a best pathway,

the palpably smooth.

It’s by the hypotenuse

and walking in truth.

There is one solution,

I tell you the truth.

It’s by the hypotenuse

and walking in truth.

For any other pathway

will lead us astray.

It’s by the hypotenuse,

there is no other way.

O listen, you brother,

let’s brighten the day.

there is no other way.

Otherwise, the devilshall pull by the legs.

It’s by the hypotenuseor else by the legs.

For such road is fractal:

as long as it gets.

It’s by the hypotenuseor else by the legs.

O let’s mend the broken,

growing to the root.

the one that yields fruit.

Let’s keep equilibrium,avoiding dark soot.

the one that yields fruit.

O listen, you brother,a counsel from

science.

It’s by the hypotenuse:the simplest

design.

I tell you integrating,don’t leave it to

chance.

It’s by the hypotenusethe simplest

design.

Other coincidences“repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand”

“winding roads should be straight and rough ways smooth”

“winding roads should be straight and rough ways smooth”“forgive others seventy times seven times”

“strength lies in quiet and trust,” at low Reynolds numbers “sinners, who love violence, shall lick the dust like the

serpent”
