Hi Steven,
Apologies for the delay in replying.

The intelligence of our mutated ape brains has a pretty small variation, so seen our extremely limited understanding of the physical universe for me it means a giant leap to assume that there is an intelligence that can create our universe from mere thought.
We always knew that flight was possible since birds have been flying since history.
We do not have 'mutated ape brains'. According to Darwin, apes and humans shared a common ancestor, we did not evolve from apes.
'Mutation' is a modern concept which implies some sort of randomness; I will stick with the ancients and say that all is cause and effect. Just because the modern experts can't see the connections does not mean that the connections do no exist. (This is what the Moirae, or Fates, represent. They record or keep track of cause and effect. They do not control ones destiny as such).
The reason why modern experts have an 'extremely limited understanding of the physical universe' is because they are trying to build their knowledge up from details, rather than looking at the whole and seeing the patterns. They make things worse by their obsession with logic which is only one half of the brain. Again, I stick with the ancients who advocated the use of reason which comes from the mind.
Relying on our senses we only ever 'observe' the physical world in our brain.
You say that it is a giant leap to assume that there is an intelligence which can create the physical world from 'mere' thought. Do you not create 'worlds' when you dream? What if you never woke up, which would be the 'real' world. (See Plato's allegory of the Cave, or consider the 'brains in vats' connected to an external stimulator scenario).
You say 'mere' thought yet even modern experts are beginning to realise that thought can have effects upon the physical, e.g. the placebo and nocebo effects.
I should have made it explicit that I was talking about man-made heavier than air flight.

We now that physicality is not an illusion because of our physics experiments. Science is not struggling at the macro or micro scales since the measurements are very real, but our brains are struggling to grasp it. The reason we are chasing shadows is that we fail to see that
there is a reciprocal backside to our universe that is fully real but not directly visible except as fields and other patterns of energy.
Physicality is not an illusion; it is the solidity which is the illusion (maya). Physics experiments only ever take place within the illusion so the results are as illusory as that which they are experimenting upon. No matter what is being measured etc, the results always have to be presented in a way which the limited human senses can grasp. Take, for example, the images from Hubble. Those multi-coloured
images which are supposed to show x-ray, gamma etc - the actual nebula, or whatever, in space looks nothing like that. The images are just analogues, useful perhaps, but not the real thing.
Science is struggling at the micro and the macro and all points in between. It will continue to struggle so long as scientists sit in their little pigeon-holes using half their brain. They are not chasing shadows, they are chasing solid objects. If they chased shadows they would have more success.
With regard to your 'backside' of the Universe, may I suggest changing that to underside or something? 'Backside' generally has a different meaning in English.
The 'fields and other patterns of energy' are the physical world. Or, put another way, every physical object is a pattern of energy within a field, e.g. a tree is one pattern of energy in a field which, to us, looks like a tree; a planet ditto. That which constrains the energy within a field is Mind.
What you call the backside is yin (yang in potential), the physical world is yang (yin in actualisation).

So, with what formula does thought create space or time? At least for motion we can simply show that delta Space = V * delta Time or delta Time = delta Space / V, since V = delta s/delta t.
Why does thought (Mind) need formula/equations? Only certain kinds of
modern humans need these. I know I don't.
And:
Motion, Space and Time are like the three aspects of the monad that cannot be separated. The compass, radius and circle and God's act of creation.
Space and time are born of motion. Space (volume) is the environment in which motion takes place; time is the duration of motion. (Accepting your use of the the word 'God') The act of creation is not a single event; it is an ongoing process - everything in Creation creates. William Blake notwithstanding, God doesn't use tools and it is the centre and circumference which are of importance.

Every point of observation is a center of the universe. That is why the feeling that we are special is so strong.
The laws of the universe or the laws of physics are the same since no location or time is preferred in the universe.
As far as humans are concerned, we are the centre of the Universe. The same may well be true for other forms of consciousness out there or other universes, but as far as we are concerned we are. The reason why the feeling is so strong in us is because it is inherent to us; it is true. Modern experts tell us that it is not so, that we are the result of a random singularity having a random Big Bang and life began by chance in some fortuitous collection of chemicals in a fortuitous environment. This life then evolved willy-nilly into humans with scientists at the pinnacle of intelligence.
The laws of the Universe and the laws of physics are not the same thing at all. You have no proof that no location or time is preferred. Science has only a limited understanding of our solar system; it is not possible to extrapolate that meagre understanding out onto the whole
Universe, especially when science has no real understanding of what constitutes the whole Universe. (And I don't care what formulae they use to back up their claims).

So your "thoughts" are like my "backside" of the universe? I could agree that backside thought exists, but since the backside has no location on the frontside I would'nt know of a way to link it to the frontside except by chance.
Your backside is similar to the Dao and your frontside to The One. They are linked by Mind not by chance. There is no such thing as chance. Chance, random, etc, are just words used by experts to cover up their own ignorance. This way of thinking is one of the problems which derive from trying to reconstruct the whole from the detail. Because there are details missing they have to fudge it by using words such as chance etc. Even if they had every detail they would still not get it because
the whole is always greater than the sum of its parts.
