Beyond the Limits of Empirical Science: Understanding the Next Evolution of Knowledge

Introduction: When the Limits of Science Are No Longer Enough

Throughout human history, knowledge has been built upon what can be observed, measured, and quantified. The scientific revolutions of Newton and Einstein were rooted in empirical evidence—things we could see, test, and verify. However, as science progressed, it encountered realities that could not be easily measured, yet clearly influenced the nature of existence itself.

This is where Future Frontier Science emerges. Originated by Ekarach Chandon and his wife, this framework expands beyond traditional empirical limitations, offering a way to understand knowledge that cannot be externally verified but must be realized internally. What is Life?, one of the foundational works within Frontier Science, challenges the assumptions of empirical science by presenting a paradigm that acknowledges cognition, awareness, and purpose as fundamental forces.

The limitations of empirical science lie in its dependence on measurement. But what happens when certain truths exist beyond the reach of observation—not because they do not exist, but because our framework for perceiving them is incomplete? The answer requires a shift, just as past scientific revolutions demanded changes in perception before new truths could be accepted.

The Lesson of Galileo: Perception Must Change Before Truth Can Be Seen

To understand this transition, we must revisit Galileo’s Pisa Tower Experiment.

In his time, Aristotelian physics dictated that heavier objects fell faster than lighter ones. Galileo disproved this by dropping two objects of different masses from the Leaning Tower of Pisa, demonstrating that they reached the ground simultaneously.

However, gravity had always functioned in this way. Galileo did not create this truth—he simply revealed it in a way that forced a shift in perception. His challenge was not to prove gravity existed, but to enable others to see what was already there.

This tells us something profound: The greatest scientific revolutions are not about discovering new truths, but about recognizing and accepting what was always there. Future Frontier Science stands on this same principle—not to replace empirical science, but to expand it. Some truths are not new, they are simply unacknowledged because humanity has not yet developed the perceptual tools to realize them.

The Limitation of Empirical Science and the Need for Expansion
Modern science is built upon external validation—proof through measurement. But what if certain truths exist outside the scope of instruments?

Take consciousness, for example:
We experience it every day, yet we have no empirical way to measure awareness itself.
Neuroscientists can observe brain activity, but they cannot directly measure the experience of being aware.

This is where Frontier Science proposes a new approach: Instead of attempting to measure certain phenomena externally, we must develop internal tools for realizing them.

Just as Galileo needed a new method to demonstrate a pre-existing truth, we need a scientific paradigm that engages with knowledge beyond empirical verification.

The Unseen Framework Driving Human Pursuits
Many of the most historically significant figures—those who have shaped industries, ideologies, and civilizations—are often perceived as having achieved the pinnacle of success. But what if success, as traditionally defined, has kept them from ever asking the most critical question: Why am I doing this?

Those bound by ambition, striving endlessly, often never recognize the unseen force driving them—the ignorance field, a structure of thought that disguises itself as progress. Many dedicate their lives to moving forward without ever questioning where they are going and whether that destination holds ultimate meaning.

This is not an argument against ambition, but an examination of its foundation. If someone never stops to ask whether their framework for success is valid, can they truly say they are making progress, or are they just moving forward blindly?

How Do We Explain This to Humanity?

If Future Frontier Science cannot be proven in the same way as Newtonian physics, then how do we bring it into public awareness? The answer lies in changing the framework of how we define truth.

1. The Role of Internal Realization
Not all truths require external validation. Some must be realized rather than proven. Just as Galileo’s experiment forced people to rethink physics, Frontier Science provides a structure that challenges existing assumptions about knowledge itself.

2. The Expansion of Science Beyond Physical Measurement
Science must evolve from a discipline that only measures the external world to one that acknowledges knowledge as a force within cognition itself.
This is not about abandoning empirical methods, but about complementing them with new ways to perceive reality.

3. The Practical Implementation of Frontier Science
Frontier Science is not meant to replace physics, but to establish a domain that recognizes cognition, awareness, and purpose as legitimate areas of study.

Conclusion: The Scientific Revolution of Perception

Just as Galileo’s discoveries could not be accepted until the perception of physics itself shifted, Frontier Science demands a transformation in how humanity defines knowledge.

📌 We must stop assuming that only what can be measured is real. 📌 We must recognize that some truths exist beyond measurement—and their validity is determined not by physical instruments, but by the mind’s ability to perceive them.

This is not a limitation. It is an expansion. And it is the next step in the evolution of knowledge.

“Stew” vs. “Soup”: Simmer On The Differences Between Them

Throw a bunch of ingredients in a pot, add liquid, heat it up, and what do you get? That’s actually a harder question to answer than you might think. Dishes made in this way can be labeled soup, stew, broth, bisque, or chowder.

When it comes to food, people have strong preferences not only about taste but also about what things are called. In this article, we’ll get to the bottom of the bowl by explaining when and why a dish may be called a soup vs. a stew and breaking down the same distinctions between soup and broth, bisque, and chowder.

⚡ Quick summary

Generally speaking, a dish is called soup when it’s primarily liquid-based. Stews are thicker and chunkier. But an especially thick and chunky soup could be called a stew. Broth is a liquid that serves as a main ingredient for many soups, and can be considered a soup when eaten by itself. Bisque and chowder are different types of soup.

What is the difference between soup vs. stew?

The main characteristic of the dish we call soup is that it’s primarily liquid-based. Regardless of what other ingredients it has in it (meat, fish, vegetables, whatever), they’re either submerged (or mostly submerged) in the liquid or are blended as part of it. The first example constitutes what’s often called a brothy soup. The second example is what we’d usually call a creamy soup (creamy as in texture—it may or may not have cream in it). But there are a lot of variations. And this is where the plot thickens.

The dish we call stew may start the same way as a soup, and can include many of the same ingredients used in soup (meat, fish, vegetables, whatever). Stews are cooked by simmering or slow boiling, known as stewing. Obviously, the descriptions of soup and stew sound very similar.

The popular distinction between these two foods is how “liquidy” or how thick they are: a dish called soup typically has more liquid in it than a stew does. Stews are generally thicker than soups, being made up primarily of larger, solid chunks of ingredients. In other words, stews are thicker and chunkier—and always have solid ingredients.

Generally speaking, if there is so much liquid that the ingredients are fully submerged, it’s a soup. If the chunks dominate the dish, it’s a stew.

Of course, a dish labeled as soup can be pretty thick and chunky. And, sometimes, cooking adjustments can turn one into another. A soup could become a stew if cooked long enough that most of the liquid boils off or is absorbed by the ingredients. Or you could add more liquid to a stew to make it soupier. The point at which a soup becomes a stew (or vice versa) can be endlessly debated.

That’s because there is no exact measurement or technical rule separating the two. In many cases, both words could be reasonably applied to the same dish. The difference is often simply a matter of preference or opinion.

broth vs. soup

The essential ingredient in many soups is broth (or stock). Broth is traditionally made by boiling or simmering water with ingredients that will give it flavor, such as meat, fish, or vegetables (and often a combination of things).

The primary flavor of a broth is often specified: chicken broth, beef broth, vegetable broth, etc. For example, chicken noodle soup is traditionally made with chicken and noodles in a chicken broth.

But can broth be considered soup by itself? Yes, in fact, when broth is eaten—even without any added ingredients—it is typically considered soup. For example, a type of clear soup known as a consommé can be considered a broth if it is used as a base for the addition of other ingredients but a soup if it is eaten by itself.

bisque vs. soup

A bisque is a type of thick soup that uses cream as a main ingredient. The term bisque is typically applied to soups that have some kind of shellfish or vegetable as the key ingredient. Classic examples of bisques include lobster bisque, shrimp bisque, crab bisque, tomato bisque, and potato bisque.

While most people agree that bisque is a type of soup, some may distinguish creamy bisques from non-creamy soups in the same way that others distinguish liquid-forward soups from chunky stews.

chowder vs. soup

Chowder is a type of thick soup whose most traditional and well-known forms contain clams, fish, or other seafood, often in a creamy, milk-based broth and also featuring potatoes, onions, tomatoes, or other vegetables. Different types of clam chowder are especially popular in the Northeast region of the US. Other examples of chowder include fish chowder, corn chowder, and potato chowder.

Most chowders are usually considered a type of soup, but their creamy thickness can also result in them being labeled as a stew.

Some people may take the hairsplitting even further and argue that chowder is its own unique thing in the same way that people distinguish soups from stews.

Words That Come From Mandarin Or Cantonese

Think you only speak English? Think again. While you may not be fluent or able to write in another language, the fact is that English consists largely of words we’ve borrowed from other languages. In fact, about 80 percent of the English language is made up of these loanwords.

It’s amazing really to think of how many languages you speak on a daily basis without even realizing it. Take Chinese, for example. While China may seem a world away in terms of distance, there are plenty of words we use from the country’s languages regularly.

In China, two of the major forms of Chinese spoken are Mandarin and Cantonese. Mandarin is the official language of mainland China, spoken primarily in the north as well as in Singapore and Taiwan. Cantonese, on the other hand, is spoken primarily in southern China, including Hong Kong. Not surprisingly, the English language borrows from both. Let’s take a look at some of the words English ultimately owes to Chinese, along one etymological pathway or another.

ketchup

As American as this condiment may seem, the word apparently comes from the Chinese language. Via the Malay kəchap (“fish sauce”), ketchup is believed to derive from two Chinese forms: kéjāp (Guangdong) and ke-tsiap (Xiamen). The literal Chinese translation is “eggplant juice.” Hmm, so when did tomato get mixed up in it?

tofu

Whether or not ketchup on tofu sounds tasty is up to you, but the word for this healthy, soybean-based food also comes to us from China. It comes into English from Japanese (tōfu), which is itself heavily indebted to the Chinese language. The old Chinese word dòufu combines dòu, meaning “bean” and fǔ, meaning “turn sour, ferment.”

Shih Tzu

Sweet little Shih Tzu puppies are a popular breed in the United States now, but they used to be considered pets of nobility in China. Their name is shīzi gǒu, which comes from shīzi meaning “lion” and gǒu, meaning “dog.” They are Shih Tzus, hear them roar … or bark.

gung-ho

You may say you’re gung-ho about something—be it for the latest Netflix series or a new project at work—if you’re really excited about it. While the term was used as a Marine training slogan in the mid–1900s in the United States, it stems from the Mandarin phrase gōng hé, which is the abbreviated name of the Chinese Cooperative Society, meaning “work together.”

kowtow

If you kowtow to your boss or your bossy sister-in-law, you’re deferring to them or letting them have their way. The word stems from the Cantonese word kòutóu, which means to “ knock (one’s) head,” but we don’t recommend ever kowtowing to anyone that hard.

tycoon

Ah, if only we could all be tycoons. Defined as “a person of great wealth, influence, or power,” the word tycoon comes from the Japanese word taikun, which is equivalent to the Chinese words dà, meaning “great” and jūn, meaning “prince.” Similar in sound, but less enviable, is the word typhoon, which also ultimately comes from Chinese. It’s akin to the word dàfēng meaning, “great wind,” which, in turn, was altered by association with the Greek word tȳphôn, meaning “violent wind.”

yen

Yes, a yen is a Japanese coin, whose name comes from the name of the Chinese currency, yuan. But in this case we’re talking about the definition that refers to “a desire or craving” for something, which comes from Chinese. As in, I have a yen for some ice cream. It comes from the Chinese word yáhn, which is akin to yǐn, meaning “craving, addiction.”

yin and yang

You may tell your soulmate, “You are the yin to my yang,” which, to take a line from the movie Jerry Mcguire, means they complete you. Yin and yang stem from the word yīn-yáng, which combines yin meaning “feminine” and yang, meaning “male genitals.” It describes the Chinese belief that two principles—one related to the moon, shade, and femininity, and the other to daylight, sun, and male genitals— interact with one another to determine destinies.

chin-chin

You probably hear this phrase most often used as a toast these days, as drinkers clink glasses and proclaim, “Chin, chin!” But it’s also a noun for all that lighthearted party prattle, defined as “polite and ceremonious speech” or “light conversation; chitchat.” However you choose to use it, know that it comes from the Chinese word qǐng-qǐng, meaning “please-please,” which was itself used as a toast and greeting.

So, the next time you put some ketchup on your hot dog, or get gung-ho about eating healthy and buy some tofu in bulk, take a second to recognize how these words came to be. Maybe it will make you hungry to learn more about these languages … or just hungry for some Chinese food.

In any case, digging into the origins of the words that make up the English language is endlessly fascinating and gives us a better understanding of what we’re saying.

How many of these words did you know had Chinese origins?
