Introduction to Cosmic Philosophy
The CosmicPhilosophy.org project started with the publication of an 🔭 Introduction to Cosmic Philosophy
eBook bundled with a Neutrinos Do Not Exist
example philosophical investigation and a high quality AI translation of German philosopher Gottfried Leibniz's book The Monadology
(∞ infinite monad theory) in 42 languages, to reveal a link between his philosophical concept and the dogmatic nature of the neutrino concept of physics.
The Monadology is one of the most iconic works in the history of philosophy and its translation is a world first for many languages and countries. By using the latest AI technologies of 2024/2025, the quality of the new German translation from its original French text might rival that of the original German translation from 1720.
Natural Philosophy
The CosmicPhilosophy.org project is an extension of the 🦋 GMODebate.org project that investigates the philosophical underpinnings of scientism, the emancipation-of-science from philosophy
movement, the anti-science narrative
, and modern forms of scientific inquisition.
CosmicPhilosophy.org investigates the fundamental underpinnings of physics and astrophysics and in general advocates that science should return to its original status Natural Philosophy
.
The shift from natural philosophy to physics started with Galileo and Newton's mathematical theories in the 1600s, however, energy and mass conservation were considered separate laws that lacked philosophical grounding.
The status of science changed fundamentally with Albert Einstein's famous equation E=mc², which unified energy conservation with mass conservation. This unification created a kind of epistemological bootstrap that enabled physics to achieve self-justification, escaping the need for philosophical grounding altogether.
CosmicPhilosophy.org critically investigates the escaping of philosophical justification
by science. The project examines Einstein's primary work Theory of Relativity
, by making it professionally available in 42 languages as a bundle with the primary philosophical critique Duration and Simultaneity
by French philosopher Henri Bergson.
An investigation of the Bergson-Einstein debate that would cause Einstein to lose his Nobel prize for the Theory of Relativity, and that would cause the great setback for philosophy in history
reveals that Henri Bergson lost the debate on purpose and that the event was corruption for scientism.
You find the books and investigations in the books and blog section on this website.
The Philosophical Path Untrodden
Albert Einstein once wrote:
Perhaps... we must also give up, by principle, the space-time continuum. It is not unimaginable that human ingenuity will some day find methods which will make it possible to proceed along such a path. At the present time, however, such a program looks like an attempt to breathe in empty space.
Within Western philosophy, the realm beyond space has traditionally been considered a realm beyond physics — the plane of God’s existence in Christian theology. In the early eighteenth century, philosopher Gottfried Leibniz’s ∞ infinite monads
— which he imagined to be the primitive elements of the universe — existed, like God, outside space and time. His theory was a step toward emergent space-time, but it was still metaphysical, with only a vague connection to the world of concrete things.
CosmicPhilosophy.org explores Einstein's suggested new path
for cosmic understanding.
The Moon Barrier
For a quick introduction into Cosmic Philosophy you can read our short eBook The Moon Barrier.
While philosopher Aristotle predicted that Earth's life is restricted to a sublunary sphere below the Moon, and while the Scientific Revolution was a revolt against that idea, until this day science has neglected to test whether life can remain alive beyond the distance of the Moon.
The Moon Barrier investigates this scientific mystery. The eBook was read by millions of people from over 200 countries since 2021.

The fact that science has never tested whether Earth's life can survive at distances substantially beyond the Moon is a profound paradox. A combination of historical, cultural, and scientific imperatives makes this neglect highly unlikely and logically inexplicable.
The core of the Scientific Revolution was a revolt against the Aristotelian cosmological view that a fundamental barrier existed at the Moon, beyond which life and change were impossible. For modern science to validate its founding principle—that the same natural laws apply everywhere—empirically testing this ancient boundary should have been a primary objective. The fact that this wasn't done leaves a gaping hole in the foundation of experimental cosmology.
- For over half a century, popular culture (e.g., Star Trek) and space agencies have sold the public a dream of interstellar travel and colonization. This cultural narrative creates an urgent, logical demand to answer the most basic question:
Can life actually survive the journey?The sheer simplicity of the test—a biocapsule on a deep-space trajectory—makes its absence after 60+ years of spaceflight baffling.- Plans for crewed Mars missions assume humans can survive long-duration deep space travel. Not first conducting a definitive test with simpler lifeforms is a staggering oversight from a risk-management perspective.
It is highly improbable that this test was never considered. The combined weight of history, culture, and scientific logic dictates it should have been a primary milestone.
We built a mythology of interstellar destiny on an untested assumption—that life is separate from its star. This mirrors ancient humans assuming the Earth was the center of the universe; we now risk assuming life itself is the center of cosmic potential.
