Clear as a bell I hear his voice saying "Hey, dont do that". It freaked me out because it didnt make sense. It didnt and doesnt fit with the way I KNOW that the universe works.
Is my 'faith' in the scientific method blinding me to something?
No - you are just ignorant of a certain fact about the way the universe works. Or more specifically: how the human mind works. Hearing voices is quite common. It doesn't mean you are necessarily delusional or what have you. Nor does it mean your dead cousin wanted you to preserve some notes.
I'm not going to pretend to tell you the exact mechanisms behind your auditory experience but it is quite banal as far as temporary hallucinations are concerned. It being 'clear as a bell' doesn't reduce the chances of it being a hallucination.
Is there anything beyond the grasp of the scientific method? Will it eventually provide the correct answer for any question?
Who is the better music composer? Mozart, Beethoven, Rossini? Soft Cheese or Hard Cheese? Tastes Great? Should Shatner have played up the Latin and not split an infinitive in "To boldly go...' or should he have stuck to the wording which splits it to allow for a more poetic delivery with the stresses in the most assertive/bold places?
