Angels & Demons, Atlantis & Anti-Matter
http://freedomtimes.blogspot.com/2009/06/angels-demons-anti-matter.html

Another point of view: Introducing the space-time helix and the possible destruction of all matter http://www.spacetimehelix.com/ We should be careful not to jump to conclusions with only "bits" of scientific information, nor act on short sighted scientific information which might only be a tangent, offshoot of Reality. Historically, expanding our window of scientific data to reality changed our view of a flat earth to a round one. We are far, far from done with our expanding point of view of reality. In fact, we are far behind and dangerously so. Top Secret, Need to Know philosophies have never favored the continuity of life. (see below Space-Time Helix article end for 'dust ball' analogy and extrapolate the analogy to adults and PhD's possessing only Bits of information with potentially unfathomable deadly consequences. It pays not to destroy the vast richness of human history, human evolutionary potential, and lessons learned from our educational systems by replacing wholesome education with robot, disconnected, specialized, corporate slave sponsored and censored education. The deadly consequences of "dumbed down" go far beyond the trouble with physics and the idling Standard Model).

Crisis in Measurement - An Evolutionary Survival Criterion In StarSteps, even a fourth grader could explain the vast differences in measurement of a flat plane and a curved ball; neglecting the curve disfigures reality with a flat earth belief when the curve on the ball's surface is not considered in measurement. The extended concept of E=MC2 throws the same curve ball measurement across the micro to macro realities, with a unified integration of space/time/mass/matter/energy/gravity through the radius of curvature concept of all natural law – a recognition permitting simple 4th grade understanding of PhD level science to filter down to the people, carrying with it the capacity to overcome any known problem today with highly advanced energy systems and greatly expanded comprehension of energy space time relationships THE NONLINEARITY OF PHYSICAL LAW:

Illusions Delusions and Real

http://users.ameritech.net/equalizer/flat_universe.gif

The series of mathematical formula which Albert Einstein gave to the world in 1905, he called "A Theory of Special Relativity". Einstein brought to our attention that the factors of Gravity, Space, Time and Energy were not absolute and independent entities, but that they were variable factors, each having a value which depended upon the value of others. Thus the first faint light of understanding began to filter through the dense screen of absolute determinism which had been erected about the physical science.

Unfortunately, science, instead of pursuing this bright gleam of truth, attempted, from force of habit, to mold it into the common pattern of knowledge, by reducing it to a mathematical formula, which could be used without the necessity of understanding it.

Special Relativity was made into a "universal law of absolutes".

We have ignored the forward with which Einstein prefaced the mathematics, and so have created the very thought blocks which he hoped to prevent. We will refer to this problem later on, but it might be wise first, to devote a little time to the consideration of what we will call "the non linearity of physical law".

A few decades ago, our physical laws were considered to be linear. That is: we had, by trial and error, by observation and test, developed a set of laws which apparently held true for all of the small segment of nature, which we were able to observe at the time. We assumed, therefore, that these laws would hold true in any segment of nature, no matter how far removed from our point of observation.

green or pink balls (look to center)

http://users.ameritech.net/equalizer/dotsgreenpink.gif

When, however, the study of physics moved into the microcosm, that is, when we began to examine the interior of the atom, we found there a set of laws which did not agree with those to which we had been accustomed. They too appeared to be linear, but operated at an angle to our established laws.

The same disturbing situation was discovered in the macrocosm. When our astronomers developed the giant telescope capable of peering many millions of light years into space, they found there, still another set of laws operating apparently at an angle to both of the others.

For a time, we attempted to accustom ourselves to the existence of three sets of physical laws, each set linear within its own range of observation, but each set operating angularly with respect to the others. Then, with the development of the principles of relativity, we began to realize, or at least we should have realized, that these different sets of linear laws were not actually linear, nor were they different sets of laws. They were simply three widely separated segments of the one great curve of natural law.

StarSteps http://www.fuel2000.net/starsteps.htm

As long as we were dealing with quantities which could be observed with the unaided eye or with simple instruments, we were unable to detect the curvature, because the segment we were observing constituted such a tiny portion of the curve that its deviation from linearity was too slight to be detected ....

A Race Round a Black Hole So you think rockets are fast? Scientists have spotted something going much faster. Like state troopers on a highway, these scientists used a "speed gun" to clock clumps of hot iron gas whipping around a black hole at 20,000 miles per second. That's over 10 percent of light speed.At this speed, you could get to the moon in about 10 seconds. The black hole's extreme pull of gravity is causing the gas to move so quickly. Image to left: This animation depicts three hot blobs of matter orbiting a black hole. If placed in our Solar System, this black hole would appear like a dark abyss spread out nearly as wide as Mercury's orbit. And the three blobs (each as large as the Sun) would be as far out as Jupiter. They orbit the black hole in a lightning-quick 20,000 miles per second, over a tenth of the speed of light. Click on image to view animation. Click here for a high resolution still from the animation (9.8 MB) Credit: NASA/Dana Berry, SkyWorks DigitalDr. Jane Turner of NASA Goddard Space Flight Center led the observation. She used a satellite launched by the European Space Agency called XMM-Newton. She said that this kind of measurement has never been done before."For years we have seen only the general commotion caused by massive black holes, that is, a terrific outpouring of light," Dr. Turner said. "We could not track the specifics. Now we can filter through all that light and find patterns that reveal information about black holes never seen before in such clarity."This is big news for black hole hunters because the observation marks the first time scientists could trace individual blobs of shredded matter on a complete journey around a black hole. This provides a crucial measurement that has long been missing from black hole studies: an orbital period. Knowing this, scientists can measure black hole mass and other characteristics that have long eluded them.Black holes are regions in space so dense that gravity prevents all matter and light from escaping. What scientists see is not the black hole itself but rather the light emitted close to it as matter falls towards the black hole and heats to high temperatures.Image to right: This is a simplified illustration of two hot blobs orbiting a black hole, showing how scientists tracked the blobs by observing their Doppler shift. First, we see one blob. Note how the energy emitted from this orbiting material rises to about 6.5 kilo-electron volts (an energy unit) as it moves towards us, and then falls to about 5.8 kilo-electron volts as it moves away. This is the Doppler effect, the same phenomenon that law officers exploit to nab speeders on a highway. Matter goes round and round; energy goes up and down. About 14 seconds into the animation, the artist adds a second blob which also displays a rise and fall in energy during its orbit. Click on image to view animation.

Credit: NASA/Dana Berry, SkyWorks DigitalIf this black hole were placed in our Solar System, it would appear like a dark abyss spread out nearly as wide as Mercury's orbit. And the clumps of matter detected would be as far out as Jupiter. The clumps orbit the black hole in a lightning-quick 27 hours (compared to the 12 years it takes Jupiter to orbit the Sun).But this black hole is far, far away. Dr. Turner's team observed it in a well-known galaxy named Markarian 766, about 170 million light years away in the constellation Coma Berenices (Bernice's Hair). The black hole in Markarian 766 is relatively small although highly active. Its mass is a few million times that of the Sun. Other central black hole systems are over 100 million solar masses.Matter funnels into this black hole like water swirling down a drain, forming what scientists call an accretion disk. Flares erupt on this disk most likely when magnetic field lines emanating from the central black hole interact with regions on the disk. Zap! ....Zap, Zap, Zaparoo Full Text

Since all of the light coming from the galaxies behind it is now being absorbed, we would see only that there was an unusually large dark area in space. We would probably refer to it as a 'dark nebula,' a tremendous body of gas, still somewhat rarefied according to our usual concept of gas; which emits no light, but which does absorb, and convert to lower frequencies, almost all of the light, and other forms of radiant energy which reach it from the countless radiating stars throughout the universe." "......We must recall at this point, that it is the central spheroid of the galaxy which is formed first. It is in the central portion, that planets would first reach conditions suitable for life, and it is upon these planets that life would first achieve a high degree of development. Intelligent life might therefore be said to radiate from the center of a galaxy outward toward the periphery. A process which might take place over a period of several millions of years after the first race had achieved space travel. It is with this thought, and in a very humble frame of mind that we begin our return journey to our tiny planet earth; located almost on the extreme outer edge of our own galaxy." NEW GALAXIES: http://users.ameritech.net/equalizer/galaxieB2s.jpgAt this point in our progress of understanding, we shall embark upon a most ambitious journey. We are going out into space. Into the remotest depths of inter galactic space, so that we may observe, at close range, the birth processes of a new star cluster or 'Galaxy.' We will take along our consciousness, our ability to observe, and our understanding. We must, of course, leave our bodies behind, since they would not fare well in space, and also because their mass would create a gravitational field which would tend to alter the natural conditions at our point of observation. We will seek a spot which is at least a few million light years distant from any other galaxy or accumulation of matter; for it is only within these remote areas that we may observe the birth process of a new galaxy. In the first part of this book, we discussed the almost inconceivably large number of particles which are found in each cubic inch of our atmosphere at sea level. As we move outward from the earth's surface we find that the number of particles diminishes rapidly, but still remains surprisingly large. When we have reached a height of one hundred miles we find that there are only about one millionth as many particles per cubic inch as we found at the surface, this is a density of matter so minute that we require very sensitive instruments, even to detect its existence. Yet, if we count the individual particles, we will find that there are still about 400 million, million particles in each cubic inch of space. At a few hundred miles elevation the density has diminished another million times, and we say that we have entered 'space', yet there are still many millions of particles per cubic inch. We come to the startling realization that there simply is no such thing as 'empty space.' Astronomers have estimated that even in the remotest depths of intergalactic space, (which is our destination on this trip) there will still be found from twenty five to seventy five or more nuclear or atomic particles per cubic inch. Most of these particles are protons, or simple atoms which have attained escape velocity from the surfaces of some star, and which may have been wandering aimlessly about, perhaps for billions of years, coming into occasional collision with ocher particles, but usually with sufficient relative velocity so that mutual capture could not take place. In the vicinity of existing galaxies, the gravitational fields created by the innumerable stars within those galaxies, tend to draw in the random particles, many of which eventually fall into one or another of the stars, and thereby assist somewhat in replenishing the mass which each star is constantly converting into energy. We must, therefore, seek a spot which is remote from any of the existing galaxies, and approximately equidistant from the nearer ones. Even in this remote area of space we will find countless numbers of particles of matter, anti units of charge; electrons, protons or simple atoms, which have achieved escape velocity from some star, or which have been formed in space by random approach and capture. In short, we have all of the building blocks of nature, present in an exceedingly tenuous and diffuse state. Since each of the particles of matter has mass, each has a force of attraction existing between it and ever other particle of matter in the area. If we accept the concept of the non linearity of natural law as previously outlined in this text, we find that each of these particles is also being repelled slightly by the surrounding galaxies or galactic clusters. These forces are almost inconceivably small, yet the net result of their action is to create a tendency upon the part of each randomly moving particle to move ever closer to the center of the area of attraction, which is also approximately but not exactly the center or 'null balance' point of the repulsion of the surrounding galaxies. We will assume that we have now reached the point from which we will observe the birth of our new galaxy. This point is at the center of a sphere of space, perhaps thirty thousand light years in diameter, within which the final concentration of matter will take place. We must be prepared to exercise a great deal of patience, because the forces involved, and the resulting accelerations are so minute that many millions of years will probably elapse before we can detect any significant increase in the number of particles per unit of volume. Nevertheless, all of the particles within several hundreds of thousands of light years are slowly but surely acquiring a velocity in our direction. As the concentration of matter at the center of our system increases, the intensity of its field will also increase and will add, not only to the velocity, but also to the acceleration of the inward moving particles. We are observing the condensation of a tremendously large volume of exceedingly ratified gas into a relatively small volume. Let us assume that one hundred million years have passed since we first occupied our point of observation at the center of the newly forming galaxy. All of the particles within some thousands of light years have now acquired a very respectable velocity in our direction, and the density of the gas surrounding us is increasing with comparative rapidity. We observe however, that the particles are not falling directly toward the central point of the condensation. We can understand this if we realize that the center or null point of the force of repulsion is determined only by the distribution and the distance of the surrounding galaxies, while the center of the force of attraction is determined by the distribution of matter within the area of condensation. Since the center of 'push' is not at the same point as the center of 'pull', there is a tendency toward the creation of an angular velocity. That is: the particles, instead of falling directly toward the center, will tend to spiral inward. Eventually this rotational motion will become general throughout the mass. The plane in which this spin begins is determined by the location of the existing galaxies and the relative density of particles in different parts of the condensing mass, but once begun, the motion tends constantly to increase as the condensation proceeds. The particles which are upon either side of the central plane of spin tend to fall toward the plane as well as toward the center, while those particles which are nearly perpendicular to the center of the plane of spin rend to fall inward more rapidly because of their smaller rotational velocities. Our gas cloud now begins to take on the shape of a disk with a somewhat oblate sphere at the center. The galaxy has begun to assume its final shape, though as yet, there are no stars within it nor does it emir any light. If we were to direct a large telescope on earth towards this gas cloud, we would not be able to see it at all. Since all of the light coming from the galaxies behind it is now being absorbed, we would see only that there was an unusually large dark area in space. We would probably refer to it as a 'dark nebula,' a tremendous body of gas, still somewhat rarefied according to our usual concept of gas; which emits no light, but which does absorb, and convert to lower frequencies, almost all of the light, and other forms of radiant energy which reach it from the countless radiating stars throughout the universe. As the nebula continues to contract, areas of comparatively high density will develop in many parts of the mass. Each of these points will become a local center of gravity, and accelerated condensation will occur towards these points. The gas cloud now becomes broken up into a multitude of individual spheres, each of which continues to condense upon its own center, just as a cloud condenses into myriads of tiny water droplets. Let us now direct our attention to one of these 'droplets' which is eventually to become a star in our new galaxy. It is still several millions of miles in diameter, but shrinking rapidly. As the gas cloud condenses, the energy which it contains, becomes concentrated. The particles which while they were drifting about in space, had almost infinitely long 'mean free paths', now come into more and more frequent and more and more violent collisions. The temperature of the mass constantly rises. The kinetic energy which the particles have been building up during the millions of years while they were accelerating toward the common center, is now being converted into thermal energy. Eventually the mass begins to emit photons having frequencies in the visible portion ...........Full Text

Why is the element silver the pivotal point reversal between the release and absorption of radiant energy in the process of fusion building up heavier elements in a new star's formation?


 

We again find the answer in the radius of curvature of all natural law defined by E=MC2 expanded definitions http://www.fuel2000.net <http://www.fuel2000.net:
The atomic weight of silver and the heavier elements’ total mass, distance and energy levels dip below the zero line of the gravitational curve causing the conditions of release and absorption of tremendous bursts of radiant energy to reverse.

 
 
When we state that the quantity C is the radius of the curvature of natural law, we mean simply that if a differential of energy equal to this quantity exists between the observer and the point which he is observing, the natural laws will be suspended. If the energy differential is in excess of the quantity C, the laws will appear to operate in reverse at that point.
 
The Quantity C: (StarSteps) "The quantity C is a degree of energy differential. We can define it as the maximum differential which can exist between two reference points in the factor which we call matter. We can also define it as the minimum differential which can exist between a reference point in matter, and one in energy. This is only true, however, when the reference point in matter is at the same energy level as the observer. The term velocity - as space and time - has no meaning or significance except as an observed kinetic energy differential between two specified points of reference. While we have repeatedly referred to the quantity C as an energy differential, we have heretofore considered it only in terms of kinetic energy. Some may believe that it can be reached only when there is a rate of increase or decrease in the degree of spatial separation between the reference points, equal to 3x10(10) centimeters per second, or in simpler terms, a velocity equal to that of light. It is necessary therefore to point out the fact that an energy differential does not necessarily manifest itself as a velocity. It can also exist as a frequency. Our present laws of physics state that the energy level upon which an electron, a photon, or other particle exists is proportionate to its frequency. The mathematical rule is E equals Fh, where E is the energy, F is the frequency and h is a factor called Planck's constant. We can now see that a frequency differential which by the above formula is equal to 9x10(20) ergs per gram also represents the quantity C. When such a frequency differential exists ....see StarSteps Missing Energy Link

    "...............when bare nuclei impact other bare nuclei (at energy

    the formation of a single nucleus which has a mass slightly smaller than
    that of the two parts from which it was created. The mass which is lost,
    appears as a tremendous burst of radiant energy, most of which
    subsequently is converted to heat. We note that this fusion or joining
    together of nuclear particles may occur in a number of ways, but in
    every case where the resultant nucleus has a mass smaller than the mass
    of the atom of silver, large quantities of heat will be released as a a
    result of the combination. When the mass of the resultant nucleus is

    Contemporary Theory http://www.lbl.gov/abc/Basic.html
    <http://www.lbl.gov/abc/Basic.html> : When a star is formed, it
    initially consists of hydrogen and helium created in the Big Bang, the
    process that created our universe. Hydrogen isotopes collide in a star
    and fuse forming a helium nucleus. Later, the helium nuclei collide and
    form heavier elements. Fusion is a nuclear reaction in which nuclei
    combine to form a heavier nucleus. It is the basic reaction which drives
    the Sun. Lighter elements fuse and form heavier elements. These
    reactions continue until the nuclei reach iron (around mass sixty), the
    nucleus with the most binding energy. When a nucleus reaches mass sixty,
    no more fusion occurs in a star because it is energetically unfavorable
    to produce higher masses. Once a star has converted a large fraction of
    its core's mass to iron, it has almost reached the end of its life.
    The fusion chain cannot continue so its fuel is reduced. Some stars keep
    shrinking until they become a cooling ember made up of iron. However, if
    a star is sufficiently massive, a tremendous, violent, brilliant
    explosion can happen. A star will suddenly expand and produce, in a very
    short time, more energy than our Sun will produce in a lifetime. When
    this happens, we say that a star has become a supernova. While a
    star is in the supernova phase, many important reactions occur. The
    nuclei are accelerated to much higher velocities than can occur in a
    fusing star. With the added energy caused by their speed, nuclei can
    fuse and produce elements higher in mass than iron. The extra energy in
    the explosion is necessary to over come the energy barrier of a higher
    mass element. Elements such as lead, gold, and silver found on Earth
    were once the debris of a supernova explosion. The element iron that we
    find all through the Earth and in its center is directly derived from
    both super novae and dead stars.

    Forget the nucleus and those electrons, the spin, the
    parity and think of a structure of white and black
    particles. The free electron being the simplest, 6wp
    and one bp, cluster.

    The melting point defines the interface between a
    solid and a liquid, where the boiling point that
    between liquid and gas.

    In the periodic table of the elements we refer to the
    spherical clusters as the "noble gases". Spheres
    cannot share a large number of wp between them,
    explaining why less energy is require in separating
    them.

    Name density melting point boiling point
    Helium 0.179gm/cm3 -272oC -269oC
    Neon 0.901 -249 -246
    Argon 1.784 -189 -186
    Krypton 3.740 -157 -153
    Xenon 5.897 -112 -108
    Radon 9.730 - 71 - 62

    Here the lighter the element the freer it is. The
    larger the R, the less energy required.

    The noble gases are on the right side of the table.
    The elements on the left side of the table are the
    "Alkali Metals". We might expect to find an entirely
    different type cluster (flatter, cubic possibly where
    a large number of wp can be shared between them, thus
    requiring a higher energy state for separation)
    configuration with different characteristics (omitting
    hydrogen) we have:

    Name density melting point boiling point
    Lithium 0.530gm/cm3 180oC 1347oC
    Sodium 0.971 98 553
    Potassium 0.862 64 774
    Rubidium 1.532 39 688
    Cesium 1.873 28 678

    Here the more dense the element the easier it is to
    separate. Absorption of wp.

    By bring the temperature above the melting point of
    two minerals the two may fuse into a bimetal. Once
    cooled the bimetal will melt at a temperature less
    than that of either of the metals alone. The minerals
    have assumed a new state with a higher R. So one would
    anticipate that the density of the binary alloy to be
    less than that of the two ingredients. Check it out.

    Yes there is far too much to discuss here, but some
    thing for you to dwell upon. How powerful would a
    computer model be?

Upgrading Space, Time, and Matter Relationships at the Edge of a Black Hole



 
 
 
Evolution is a little like growing up. With Understanding, the fears of the dark and the unknown (black holes, dark energy, big bangs), dissolve like the flat earth belief. Imagine the crippling effect on humanity if a flat earth belief still existed today. So too, today, the clear and present danger of global warming and nuclear resource wars resulting from the Trouble with Physics and the child like concepts of space, time, mass/matter, energy and gravity cannot be overstated....  (continued - go to the blog)

What the Bleep is the Trouble With Physics?
 
To Mrs. Universe and group,
 
Being curious by nature, what comes after the good, but oversimplified summary (LOR, LOA), of our exquisite reality that defies description - in light of our self-made reality questioned below?
 
When to "tell daddy syndrome" or "who IS responsible?":
 
We seem to be missing the Survival and Evolutionary Boat in our educational and scientific systems. (macro science linkages)
 
Freedom requires Responsibility, not a vacuum that nature abhors and fills quickly - Forces in Motion described in (Freedom Times), includes 'hidden, less is more', forces.
 
Universities teach us self-interest eventually becomes community interest? It will be a close race! The historical 'rise & fall of civilizations' shows that theory lost every time to self interest, arrogance, power and greed. The attempt to connect the Great ME ONLY to community (local/global) failed miserably, as evidenced by billions of starving men, women and children in the last half century of "modern times" who happened to have national and multinational corporate required resources in their country or on their land.
 
Unfortunately, the Universe will not stop Evolution for Golden Greedy Guts (CBS's terminology), according to the Evolutiuon, Intelligent Design & Survival blog .
 
A review of Forces, the 'less is more' Morphic Resonance can not materialize when the evolutionary driver, now at the conscious intelligence stage, lead by science, is hampered and steered/funded by gluttony and greed, a 'Trouble With Physics' recognition supported by the (Perimeter Institute of Theoretical Physics) specifying non-directed, foundational research is required - (where is the money, honey? A recent news article said 2% had it, owned half the world).
 
There used to be a song, "Up, Up, With People", which reminded us of constitutional responsibility, including our evolving awareness of reality (as opposed to belief in 'double speak', pseudo reality), had it gained momentum and support may have staved off the  Evolutiuon, Intelligent Design & Survival blog  prediction "and yet, by SECRECY AND SILENCE - THE DEATH SENTENCE WAS ALSO SEALED, as the advanced energy requirements for survival were denied"
 
Conspiracy or ill defined market fundamentals?  Science of the 1960's promised loads of leisure time to pursue the arts, recreation, and exploration of the spiritual sciences. Big Brother gave us....?
 
New energy systems should have and can fulfill the promise of science and permit the Survival of ever more complex wholistic systems; new energy systems do not need big brother; new energy systems make available the misguided concepts problem of 'dark energy' and 'dark matter' in theoretical physics; new energy systems will reveal the dangerously severe gap/vacumm/ignorance of required evolutionary survival parameters (Fuel 2000).
 
Unfortunately, human evolution is not even considered within mainstream educational systems (beyond Piaget's "child development' or Maslov's "survival vs self-actualization needs"). The astounding fact of Nature's intended revelation and scientific connection, between energy evolution and human evolution, has not even come up as a possibility of thought, much less a survival requirement......notwithstanding the beacon from the past, the circle with the sine wave curve running through its center, boldly pointing to the radius of curvature of all natural law within the expanded concept equation of E=MC2 .

Thought you guys would enjoy this. Ask Mrs. Universe is on this forum

The question was about the Law of Resonance and why it is not getting as
much play as LOA and other reality creating theories. It's a long read
by very interesting.

Energy Transformation and E=MC2
 
Why the Standard Model idles as Physics awaits new options 
 
How has so simple a concept as the transformation of energy, from one form to another, eluded comprehension through application of E=MC2, defies common sense and boggles the mind.
 
Integrating the missing and illusive Radius of Curvature described in StarStepshttp://www.fuel2000.net/starsteps.htm ), completes the expanded view of E=MC2, combining the two seemingly opposed pillars of modern science, general relativity and quantum theory, surpassing the emerging scientific contradictions and permitting advances toward FTL (faster than light), field dependent propulsion, polarization of gravity, action at a distance, as well as "movement", the appearance of motion, from one point to another without going through all points in between.
 
                                        
 Fact or Fable : The Bermuda Triangle
 
Can noses be pressed and glued so hard to a flat ground/terrain so that as the horizon is viewed in that limited two plane dimensional reference, the the ego masters of specialization, within their narrow, tiny, segmented, isolated and disconnected belief of Reality, scream with astounding certitude "THE WORLD IS FLAT" (in this case referring to the 'flat', narrow, limited definition of E=MC2 .........and Refuse to even look at alternative and missing data)?
 
Science is not the privilege and purview of the few. Science is an extension of our senses in exploring, comprehending and expanding the realty in which we live. Science is a survival necessity for all, and therefore demands simplification and comprehension by all.    
 
Specialization is a necessary but insufficient Scientific & Technological criterion for comprehending reality, or even surviving the accelerating Nature of Change. The isolated, light years apart segments of scientific specialization must be integrated into Macro Simplified Concepts that all can Understand and use. See Article 11 in Lifestyles Unlimited for an example of Macro integration and Simplification of Science/Reality http://www.relaxspa.net/Sustainable/lifestylesunlimited2_fp.htm

Fuel2000  ( http://www.fuel2000.net/index.html )  is not playing social trivia. We, as a human family, will deal with reality, or Reality/Nature will deal with us by responding to our influence of ignorance.  

 
================================
"Nature did not err. E=MC2 application does not cease at the nuclear 'bang' or deadly radiation level. Evolving Energy Concepts provide automatic sustainability to evolving Life, Growth & Progress. The alternative, Stagnation is a lethal peril, a clear and present danger to civilization's survival, and brings about Human Extinction by Self destruction"

In support of the original Inconvenient Truth (Al Gore) Climate Crisis and Global Warming, which is a direct byproduct resulting from the stagnation of the science of energy (The Primary Inconvenient Truth), presented below is a consideration of the extreme Danger/Consequences behaviors derived from skewed, misled, shallow beliefs and perceptions of reality can pose to a Nation or World:

  • Every qualified, scientific article published in a peer reviewed, scientific journal (over 700 articles), all evidence the threat of global warming
  • September 21, 2006 NYT. British Science Group Says Exxon Misrepresents Climate Issues By HEATHER TIMMONS LONDON, Sept. 20 — A British scientific group, the Royal Society, contends that Exxon Mobil is spreading "inaccurate and misleading" information about climate change and is financing groups that misinform the public on the issue. The Royal Society, a 1,400-member organization that dates back to the 1600’s and has counted Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein as members, asked Exxon Mobil in a letter this month to stop financing these groups and to change its public reports to reflect more accurately the opinions of scientists on the issue. There is a "false sense somehow that there is a two-sided debate going on in the scientific community" about the origins of climate change, said Bob Ward, the senior manager for policy communication at the Royal Society. The reality is that "thousands and thousands" of scientists around the world agree that climate change is linked to greenhouse gases, he said, with "one or two professional contrarians" who disagree.
  • BBC News 9-1-06 One of America's top scientists has said that the world has already entered a state of dangerous climate change. In his first broadcast interview as president of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, John Holdren told the BBC that the climate was changing much faster than predicted. "We are not talking anymore about what climate models say might happen in the future." "We are experiencing dangerous human disruption of the global climate and we're going to experience more," Professor Holdren said
  • NYT 9-1-06 California Plan to Cut Gases Splits Industry “The evidence in the scientific community is lopsided — it’s not even close,” Mr. Darbee said. “Climate change is a problem.” After becoming chief executive of PG&E last year, Peter Darbee met with a large number of leading climate scientists, he said, to make up his own mind about global warming. As a result of his wide inquiries, PG&E, the parent of the Pacific Gas and Electric Company, which serves Northern California and is one of the nation’s largest energy utilities, broke away from the industry pack to support sweeping efforts to reduce the greenhouse-gas emissions that are widely blamed for global warming.
  • The Nature of Power Revisiting the Nature of Power , and a differentiation of Freedom vs FreeDumb http://enewsblog.com/Equalizer/ may assist in tempering the pending consequences resulting from "it is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it"
  • According to Stephen Hawking, one of the world's leading theoretical physicists, the possibility of our extinction should be a wake-up call to us all. "We face a number of threats to our survival, from nuclear war, catastrophic global warming, genetically engineered viruses - Nuclear war is still probably the greatest threat to humanity, at the present time."

Evolution and Sustainability are NOT: Overworked, underpaid, underinsured, vacation deprived, out of work, stuck like a pig in traffic nightmares, choking with pollution, gas prices soaring off the charts, and in dumbed down bliss, totally unaware of the coming Resource Wars - Nuke assisted, and Gaia responding to the ecological imbalance with Her own Power and Might, believing in....

  • 'there is not enough to go around' - in an infinite universe consisting of nothing but energy?
  • 'conserve energy' - in an infinite recyclable universe consisting of nothing but energy?
  • 'denial of the existence of clean cheap unlimited decentralized energy systems' - suppressed since Tesla
  • 'working more for less' - the marvels of scientific progress
  • 'economic downturn' in an exploding world population - the marvels of scientific progress
  • 'polluted air, water, cities; traffic jams; lethal ecological imbalance' - the marvels of scientific progress
  • 'conflict resolution now equals kill - the marvels of new scientific progress, understanding and enlightenment
  • 'humans with "evil genes" hating freedom, wanting to be slaves' - more science marvels of enlightenment
  • 'privatization and control of all natural resources required for life - in the hands of a few', equals FREEDOM
  • remaining braindead to a nuclear holocaust future, supporting the causal behavioral modes that will create it
  • .....this list marches on

Evolution and Scientific Progress: For those playing on the surface trivia of the extremely skewed Evolution vs Creation/Intelligent design argument, review the extended depth of this argument in kindergarten basics: A single science of Evolution, Intelligent Design, Creationism and Survival defined by E=MC2 "And yet, by SECRECY AND SILENCE - THE DEATH SENTENCE WAS ALSO SEALED, as the advanced energy requirements for survival were denied"

Physics Awaits New Options as Standard Model Idles

By DENNIS OVERBYE

For most of us, any physics is new physics.

Having stopped paying attention somewhere back around "for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction" or the discovery that you can make sparks by shuffling your feet on the carpet and then touching a doorknob (or another person), we amateurs respond with the same glazed mixture of wonder and incredulity to the latest abilities of computer chips or the expansion of the universe.

For us, the world is constant naïve novelty. The same cannot be said for professional physicists, the ultimate insiders.

Forget the lifetime tenure, the travel, the six-figure book contracts — what professional physicists live for is the tsunami moment when they know something that nobody else has ever known, the revelatory flash of a new glimpse into the workings of what Stephen Hawking, the Cambridge University cosmologist, called "the Mind

of God."

Alas, God, as reflected in the known laws of physics, hasn't gotten any smarter since the 1970's. It was then that particle physicists put the finishing touches on the Standard Model, a collection of theories describing all the physical forces except gravity.

They have been stuck in that model, like birds in a gilded cage, ever since. The Standard Model agrees with every experiment that has been performed since. But it doesn't say anything about the most familiar force of all, gravity. Nor does it explain why the universe is matter instead of antimatter, or why we believe there are such things as space and time.

"Is there physics beyond the Standard Model?" runs the refrain often repeated by David Gross, the director of the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics and a co-winner of the 2004 Nobel Prize for his part in constructing this mathematical edifice.

Physicists presume that the answer is yes, that some more overarching theory should explain these and other mysteries. But lacking any loose ends to grab hold of, no discrepancies from the predictions wrung from the Standard Model, they have no experimental clues as to what that theory might be.

Every once in a while there is a hint of progress and revolution in the air — new physics that would impress the professional as well as awe the layman — like a faint jingle of music drawing you down the street. You briefly feel young and limitless. You feel as if you might walk past an open window and hear "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" playing again.

Then the feeling vanishes. It happened this spring when two teams of physicists at Fermilab succeeded in measuring a particularly odd schizophrenic particle, known as the strange neutral B meson, that flips back and forth between being itself and its own opposite antiparticle three trillion times a second. Weird as that behavior is, it was right on the money as predicted by the Standard Model.

"Our real hope was for something bizarre," admitted Young-Kee Kim of the University of Chicago and a spokeswoman for one of the Fermilab teams.

In an e-mail message later, Dr. Kim said that she was undaunted. "We are explorers," she said, "and I cannot imagine how exciting it will be when we get even one step closer to true nature!! This belief and this desire is so huge that we will never give up."

Physicists have high hopes that some new physics will begin to reveal itself when they fire up the world's largest particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider at CERN outside Geneva in November next year, although the laboratory just announced that the accelerator would not be running at full strength, colliding protons with seven trillion volts of energy, until 2008.

If the physicists are lucky, in addition to the last piece of the Standard Model, a character known as the Higgs boson, new particles not produced since the Big Bang could eventually come spitting out.

Now you may think that the last thing the world needs is a new elementary particle with another cute annoying name, and physicists agree. What's exciting about the particles, they say, are not the particles, but the new laws of nature they manifest. If you are of a certain rock 'n' roll age, you might not think the universe needs any new laws either.

Unlike, say, in the tax code, however, in physics new laws are more elegant and economical than the ones they replace. For the last century they have usually involved new symmetries that nature seems sworn to uphold — things that don't change when we view the universe from different perspectives.

Physicists have one more symmetry card to play, a concept known as supersymmetry. If this notion is right, there is a whole new population of particles, so-called superpartners to the ones we already know and puzzle about waiting to be discovered.

The problem is that according to some versions of supersymmetry, the effects of these particles, if not the particles themselves, should already be showing up in delicate experiments like the flip-flopping meson. There are thousands of versions of supersymmetry, but the fact that nothing has shown up yet has caused "a growing tension in the field," said Nima Arkani-Hamed, a particle theorist at Harvard.

Dr. Arkani-Hamed admitted, "My nightmare is that we see nothing at all besides the Higgs," in the new collider.

Meanwhile, something bizarre really has shown up. It just hasn't been in a form that physicists can test and play with. Eight years ago two teams of astronomers discovered that the expansion of the universe was speeding up, in defiance of cosmic gravity and of what might be left of common sense. The universe apparently is its own antigravity machine.

That might be weird enough, and deserving of tabloid headlines, except it apparently happened before. New studies reported last spring of relic radio waves left over from the waning days of the Big Bang have reinforced, but not yet conclusively proved, the idea that a violent antigravitational force known colloquially as inflation held sway in the first moments of time, stretching and bubbling the cosmos into roughly the shape we see today.

Whatever bubbled and stretched the cosmos is beyond the ken of the Standard Model. Inflation is new physics, Sean Carroll of the University of Chicago explained in a recent e-mail message, adding, "Anything other than inflation would be even newer physics!"

So, yes, there is new physics out there. The question is whether it will ever be put it together into the neat mathematical package that would have impressed Einstein.

It may be asking too much of a theory of physics to explain the world. I don't expect physicists to tell me the meaning of life, I just want something to tell my kid.

In words that still haunt me, Lee Smolin, a physicist at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in Ontario, once wrote, "When a child asks, What is the world, we literally have nothing to tell her."

Some theorists think they have an answer, namely that the world is made up of tiny vibrating strings. As of now, however, there is scant evidence other than the beauty of their equations that the string theorists are right.

My own daughter, Mira, just turned 4 and she is not asking me what the world is made of, quite yet. I've managed to keep ahead of her so far, if only by reading a page ahead in the dinosaur books that occupy bedtime, but the time is coming when she will be calling me and the world's physicists to account.

When she does, I would like to have something to tell her, and myself.

Physics Awaits New Options as Standard Model Idles

By DENNIS OVERBYE

For most of us, any physics is new physics.

Having stopped paying attention somewhere back around "for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction" or the discovery that you can make sparks by shuffling your feet on the carpet and then touching a doorknob (or another person), we amateurs respond with the same glazed mixture of wonder and incredulity to the latest abilities of computer chips or the expansion of the universe.

For us, the world is constant naïve novelty. The same cannot be said for professional physicists, the ultimate insiders.

Forget the lifetime tenure, the travel, the six-figure book contracts — what professional physicists live for is the tsunami moment when they know something that nobody else has ever known, the revelatory flash of a new glimpse into the workings of what Stephen Hawking, the Cambridge University cosmologist, called "the Mind

of God."

Alas, God, as reflected in the known laws of physics, hasn't gotten any smarter since the 1970's. It was then that particle physicists put the finishing touches on the Standard Model, a collection of theories describing all the physical forces except gravity.

They have been stuck in that model, like birds in a gilded cage, ever since. The Standard Model agrees with every experiment that has been performed since. But it doesn't say anything about the most familiar force of all, gravity. Nor does it explain why the universe is matter instead of antimatter, or why we believe there are such things as space and time.

"Is there physics beyond the Standard Model?" runs the refrain often repeated by David Gross, the director of the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics and a co-winner of the 2004 Nobel Prize for his part in constructing this mathematical edifice.

Physicists presume that the answer is yes, that some more overarching theory should explain these and other mysteries. But lacking any loose ends to grab hold of, no discrepancies from the predictions wrung from the Standard Model, they have no experimental clues as to what that theory might be.

Every once in a while there is a hint of progress and revolution in the air — new physics that would impress the professional as well as awe the layman — like a faint jingle of music drawing you down the street. You briefly feel young and limitless. You feel as if you might walk past an open window and hear "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" playing again.

Then the feeling vanishes. It happened this spring when two teams of physicists at Fermilab succeeded in measuring a particularly odd schizophrenic particle, known as the strange neutral B meson, that flips back and forth between being itself and its own opposite antiparticle three trillion times a second. Weird as that behavior is, it was right on the money as predicted by the Standard Model.

In consideration of the aptly put What The Bleep Do We Know!?, we revisit Sir Roger Penrose’s “…..there is at least one glaring omission in present physical theory. This is how small-scale quantum processes can add up, for large and complicated systems, to the almost classical behavior of macroscopic bodies. Indeed, it is not just an omission but an actual fundamental inconsistency, sometimes referred to as the measurement paradox (or Schrodinger’s cat). In my view, until this paradox is resolved we must necessarily remain very far from a physical theory of everything – whether or not such a theory exists.”

 

The Radius of Curvature of all Natural Law that equates with the matter to energy conversion differential as determined by E=MC2 will fail to have significance as long as the measurement and mathematical construct tools we use, remain in their prehistoric and childlike stages - namely:

 

  • Space and time coordinates that are neither defined accurately, nor equated and standardized to energy differential values
  • Ignoring a theory of the continuum (ref Mach) that would overturn the control of knowledge vis-à-vis Planck, Maxwell, Dirac, etc., and allow electromagnetism to be integrated with the knowledge of the structure of the atom
  • The blind sight, illusion, will continue………..for as we all know, we cannot see anything faster than by the light (VC) which transmits images of matter.

Quantum Trickery: Testing Einstein's Strangest Theory

By DENNIS OVERBYE

Einstein said there would be days like this.

This fall scientists announced that they had put a half dozen beryllium atoms into a "cat state."

No, they were not sprawled along a sunny windowsill. To a physicist, a "cat state" is the condition of being two diametrically opposed conditions at once, like black and white, up and down, or dead and alive.

These atoms were each spinning clockwise and counterclockwise at the same time. Moreover, like miniature Rockettes they were all doing whatever it was they were doing together, in perfect synchrony. Should one of them realize, like the cartoon character who runs off a cliff and doesn't fall until he looks down, that it is in a metaphysically untenable situation and decide to spin only one way, the rest would instantly fall in line, whether they were across a test tube or across the galaxy.

The idea that measuring the properties of one particle could instantaneously change the properties of another one (or a whole bunch) far away is strange to say the least - almost as strange as the notion of particles spinning in two directions at once. The team that pulled off the beryllium feat, led by Dietrich Leibfried at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, in Boulder, Colo., hailed it as another step toward computers that would use quantum magic to perform calculations.

But it also served as another demonstration of how weird the world really is according to the rules, known as quantum mechanics.

The joke is on Albert Einstein, who, back in 1935, dreamed up this trick of synchronized atoms - "spooky action at a distance," as he called it - as an example of the absurdity of quantum mechanics.

"No reasonable definition of reality could be expected to permit this," he, Boris Podolsky and Nathan Rosen wrote in a paper in 1935.

Today that paper, written when Einstein was a relatively ancient 56 years old, is the most cited of Einstein's papers. But far from demolishing quantum theory, that paper wound up as the cornerstone for the new field of quantum information.

Nary a week goes by that does not bring news of another feat of quantum trickery once only dreamed of in thought experiments: particles (or at least all their properties) being teleported across the room in a microscopic version of Star Trek beaming; electrical "cat" currents that circle a loop in opposite directions at the same time; more and more particles farther and farther apart bound together in Einstein's spooky embrace now known as "entanglement." At the University of California, Santa Barbara, researchers are planning an experiment in which a small mirror will be in two places at once.

Niels Bohr, the Danish philosopher king of quantum theory, dismissed any attempts to lift the quantum veil as meaningless, saying that science was about the results of experiments, not ultimate reality. But now that quantum weirdness is not confined to thought experiments, physicists have begun arguing again about what this weirdness means, whether the theory needs changing, and whether in fact there is any problem.

This fall two Nobel laureates, Anthony Leggett of the University of Illinois and Norman Ramsay of Harvard argued in front of several hundred scientists at a conference in Berkeley about whether, in effect, physicists were justified in trying to change quantum theory, the most successful theory in the history of science. Dr. Leggett said yes; Dr. Ramsay said no.

It has been, as Max Tegmark, a cosmologist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, noted, "a 75-year war." It is typical in reporting on this subject to bounce from one expert to another, each one shaking his or her head about how the other one just doesn't get it. "It's a kind of funny situation," N. David Mermin of Cornell, who has called Einstein's spooky action "the closest thing we have to magic," said, referring to the recent results. "These are extremely difficult experiments that confirm elementary features of quantum mechanics." It would be more spectacular news, he said, if they had come out wrong.

Anton Zeilinger of the University of Vienna said that he thought, "The world is not as real as we think.

"My personal opinion is that the world is even weirder than what quantum physics tells us," he added.

The discussion is bringing renewed attention to Einstein's role as a founder and critic of quantum theory, an "underground history," that has largely been overlooked amid the celebrations of relativity in the past Einstein year, according to David Z. Albert, a professor of philosophy and physics at Columbia. Regarding the 1935 paper, Dr. Albert said, "We know something about Einstein's genius we didn't know before."

The Silly Theory

From the day 100 years ago that he breathed life into quantum theory by deducing that light behaved like a particle as well as like a wave, Einstein never stopped warning that it was dangerous to the age-old dream of an orderly universe.

If light was a particle, how did it know which way to go when it was issued from an atom?

"The more success the quantum theory has, the sillier it seems," Einstein once wrote to friend.

The full extent of its silliness came in the 1920's when quantum theory became quantum mechanics.

In this new view of the world, as encapsulated in a famous equation by the Austrian Erwin Schrödinger, objects are represented by waves that extend throughout space, containing all the possible outcomes of an observation - here, there, up or down, dead or alive. The amplitude of this wave is a measure of the probability that the object will actually be found to be in one state or another, a suggestion that led Einstein to grumble famously that God doesn't throw dice.

Worst of all from Einstein's point of view was the uncertainty principle, enunciated by Werner Heisenberg in 1927.

Certain types of knowledge, of a particle's position and velocity, for example, are incompatible: the more precisely you measure one property, the blurrier and more uncertain the other becomes.

In the 1935 paper, Einstein and his colleagues, usually referred to as E.P.R., argued that the uncertainty principle could not be the final word about nature. There must be a deeper theory that looked behind the quantum veil.

Imagine that a pair of electrons are shot out from the disintegration of some other particle, like fragments from an explosion. By law certain properties of these two fragments should be correlated. If one goes left, the other goes right; if one spins clockwise, the other spins counterclockwise.

That means, Einstein said, that by measuring the velocity of, say, the left hand electron, we would know the velocity of the right hand electron without ever touching it.

Conversely, by measuring the position of the left electron, we would know the position of the right hand one.

Since neither of these operations would have involved touching or disturbing the right hand electron in any way, Einstein, Podolsky and Rosen argued that the right hand electron must have had those properties of both velocity and position all along. That left only two possibilities, they concluded. Either quantum mechanics was "incomplete," or measuring the left hand particle somehow disturbed the right hand one.

But the latter alternative violated common sense. Such an influence, or disturbance, would have to travel faster than the speed of light. "My physical instincts bristle at that suggestion," Einstein later wrote.

Bohr responded with a six-page essay in Physical Review that contained but one simple equation, Heisenberg's uncertainty relation. In essence, he said, it all depends on what you mean by "reality."

Enjoy the Magic

Most physicists agreed with Bohr, and they went off to use quantum mechanics to build atomic bombs and reinvent the world.

The consensus was that Einstein was a stubborn old man who "didn't get" quantum physics. All this began to change in 1964 when John S. Bell, a particle physicist at the European Center for Nuclear Research near Geneva, who had his own doubts about quantum theory, took up the 1935 E.P.R. argument. Somewhat to his dismay, Bell, who died in 1990, wound up proving that no deeper theory could reproduce the predictions of quantum mechanics. Bell went on to outline a simple set of experiments that could settle the argument and decide who was right, Einstein or Bohr.

When the experiments were finally performed in 1982, by Alain Aspect and his colleagues at the University of Orsay in France, they agreed with quantum mechanics and not reality as Einstein had always presumed it should be. Apparently a particle in one place could be affected by what you do somewhere else.

"That's really weird," Dr. Albert said, calling it "a profoundly deep violation of an intuition that we've been walking with since caveman days."

Physicists and philosophers are still fighting about what this means. Many of those who care to think about these issues (and many prefer not to), concluded that Einstein's presumption of locality - the idea that physically separated objects are really separate - is wrong.

Dr. Albert said, "The experiments show locality is false, end of story." But for others, it is the notion of realism, that things exist independent of being perceived, that must be scuttled. In fact, physicists don't even seem to agree on the definitions of things like "locality" and "realism."

"I would say we have to be careful saying what's real," Dr. Mermin said. "Properties cannot be said to be there until they are revealed by an actual experiment."

What everybody does seem to agree on is that the use of this effect is limited. You can't use it to send a message, for example.

Leonard Susskind, a Stanford theoretical physicist, who called these entanglement experiments "beautiful and surprising," said the term "spooky action at a distance," was misleading because it implied the instantaneous sending of signals. "No competent physicist thinks that entanglement allows this kind of nonlocality."

Indeed the effects of spooky action, or "entanglement," as Schrödinger called it, only show up in retrospect when the two participants in a Bell-type experiment compare notes. Beforehand, neither has seen any violation of business as usual; each sees the results of his measurements of, say, whether a spinning particle is pointing up or down, as random.

In short, as Brian Greene, the Columbia theorist wrote in "The Fabric of the Cosmos," Einstein's special relativity, which sets the speed of light as the cosmic speed limit, "survives by the skin of its teeth."

In an essay in 1985, Dr. Mermin said that "if there is spooky action at a distance, then, like other spooks, it is absolutely useless except for its effect, benign or otherwise, on our state of mind."

He added, "The E.P.R. experiment is as close to magic as any physical phenomenon I know of, and magic should be enjoyed." In a recent interview, he said he still stood by the latter part of that statement. But while spooky action remained useless for sending a direct message, it had turned out to have potential uses, he admitted, in cryptography and quantum computing.

Nine Ways of Killing a Cat

Another debate, closely related to the issues of entanglement and reality, concerns what happens at the magic moment when a particle is measured or observed.

Before a measurement is made, so the traditional story goes, the electron exists in a superposition of all possible answers, which can combine, adding and interfering with one another.

Then, upon measurement, the wave function "collapses" to one particular value. Schrödinger himself thought this was so absurd that he dreamed up a counterexample. What is true for electrons, he said, should be true as well for cats.

In his famous thought experiment, a cat is locked in a box where the decay of a radioactive particle will cause the release of poison that will kill it. If the particle has a 50-50 chance of decaying, then according to quantum mechanics the cat is both alive and dead before we look in the box, something the cat itself, not to mention cat lovers, might take issue with.

But cats are always dead or alive, as Dr. Leggett of Illinois said in his Berkeley talk. "The problem with quantum mechanics," he said in an interview, "is how it explains definite outcomes to experiments."

If quantum mechanics is only about information and a way of predicting the results of measurements, these questions don't matter, most quantum physicists say.

"But," Dr. Leggett said, "if you take the view that the formalism is reflecting something out there in real world, it matters immensely." As a result, theorists have come up with a menu of alternative interpretations and explanations. According to one popular notion, known as decoherence, quantum waves are very fragile and collapse from bumping into the environment. Another theory, by the late David Bohm, restores determinism by postulating a "pilot wave" that acts behind the scenes to guide particles.

In yet another theory, called "many worlds," the universe continually branches so that every possibility is realized: the Red Sox win and lose and it rains; Schrödinger's cat lives, dies, has kittens and scratches her master when he tries to put her into the box.

Recently, as Dr. Leggett pointed out, some physicists have tinkered with Schrödinger's equation, the source of much of the misery, itself.

A modification proposed by the Italian physicists Giancarlo Ghirardi and Tullio Weber, both of the University of Trieste, and Alberto Rimini of the University of Pavia, makes the wave function unstable so that it will collapse in a time depending on how big a system it represents.

In his standoff with Dr. Ramsay of Harvard last fall, Dr. Leggett suggested that his colleagues should consider the merits of the latter theory. "Why should we think of an electron as being in two states at once but not a cat, when the theory is ostensibly the same in both cases?" Dr. Leggett asked.

Dr. Ramsay said that Dr. Leggett had missed the point. How the wave function mutates is not what you calculate. "What you calculate is the prediction of a measurement," he said.

"If it's a cat, I can guarantee you will get that it's alive or dead," Dr. Ramsay said.

David Gross, a recent Nobel winner and director of the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics in Santa Barbara, leapt into the free-for-all, saying that 80 years had not been enough time for the new concepts to sink in. "We're just too young. We should wait until 2200 when quantum mechanics is taught in kindergarten."

The Joy of Randomness

One of the most extreme points of view belongs to Dr. Zeilinger of Vienna, a bearded, avuncular physicist whose laboratory regularly hosts every sort of quantum weirdness.

In an essay recently in Nature, Dr. Zeilinger sought to find meaning in the very randomness that plagued Einstein.

"The discovery that individual events are irreducibly random is probably one of the most significant findings of the 20th century," Dr. Zeilinger wrote.

Dr. Zeilinger suggested that reality and information are, in a deep sense, indistinguishable, a concept that Dr. Wheeler, the Princeton physicist, called "it from bit."

In information, the basic unit is the bit, but one bit, he says, is not enough to specify both the spin and the trajectory of a particle. So one quality remains unknown, irreducibly random.

As a result of the finiteness of information, he explained, the universe is fundamentally unpredictable.

"I suggest that this randomness of the individual event is the strongest indication we have of a reality 'out there' existing independently of us," Dr. Zeilinger wrote in Nature.

He added, "Maybe Einstein would have liked this idea after all."

 

 

STAIF 2006 Meeting Minutes - New Frontiers Symposium


 
OVERVIEW
 
The Space Technology Applications International Forum (STAIF) 2006 Conference was held at the Albuquerque Hilton from 13 Feb through 16 Feb 2006. 
The official program, including the exact authors and titles of each paper please refer to the STAIF web site.
 
13 FEB - SESSION F.01 - POTENTIAL FRONTIERS - I
 
1:45pm - Paul Murad - Panel Discussion
 
Paul presented a paper that provided an overview of what was to be included in the New Frontiers sessions this year. He highlighted the need for real R&D funding of these projects in order to mature them to a useable Technology Readiness Level.
 
2:15pm - Nicholar Broechler - Evolutionary Model for Space Solar Power
 
A case was made for collecting solar power in space and beaming it to Earth. A worldwide array of 20 to 36 solar collection satellites are envisioned, each at 200MW, with GEO collectors beaming lasers to LEO relays, which beam microwaves to the ground. Light to laser conversion efficiencies of 38% have been reported by JAXA 2005, and the conversion to microwaves could be as high as 50%. Frequency options include the 10GHz band or the 95 to 140 GHz band.
 
2:45pm - Jamie Childress - High Efficiency PPMT Power Generators and Motors
 
Jamie Childress of Boeing Phantom Works presented a summary of Flynn Research's Parallel Path Magnetic Technology, and showed how it could be applied to improve the efficiency of generators and motors. Using a new combination of coils and permanent magnets on the stator, it provides flux switching in a way that there is always a torque connection to the rotor. This is an improvement over the standard switched reluctance design. 
 
 
3:15pm - John Brandenburg - GEM Theory of Field Unification
 
John presented his unique brand of unified field theory, which combines features of Sakharov's ZPF with the Kaluza-Klein merger of EM and GR. He presented the Vacuum Bernoulli Equation and showed that if it is true then a circulating pointing vector should provide gravitational lift.  His claim was that a 3 phase version of this rotating EM field constructively interferes with the ZPF, and he also stated that the Japanese had published observations of this to 1 part in 1000. Experimental results are still pending.
 
 
13 FEB - SESSION F.02 - EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS & NEW CONCEPTS - I
 
4:00pm - Eric Davis - Review of Concepts for Quantum Vacuum Field Study
 
Dr Eric Davis presented an overview of various ways the ZPF could be studied and utilized. Highlights of this extensive paper included the fact that QCD will not contribute to the ZPF, and that a closed engine cycle may be defined that extracts energy from the ZPF without violation of the laws of thermodynamics.
 
4:30pm - Raymond Jensen - Is Faster Than Light Communication Possible?
 
A scheme for FTL communication was presented that utilized the presence or absence of interference fringes in entangled photon pairs to propagate a signal faster than light. The method required a pre-existing train of entangled photons be generated and sent out in advance of the signal at the speed of light, and once this was done, one entangled photon should instantaneously affect the other. Modulation would be a "0" for no interference pattern, and a "1" for the presence of an interference pattern. This FTL approach was understandably controversial.
 
5:00pm - Martin Tajmar - Gravitomagnetic Solution to Cooper Pair Mass Anomaly
 
A gravitomagnetic London moment and graviton mass is predicted inside of rotating superconductors that may account for a Cooper Pair mass anomaly (.008% heavier than 2 electrons) observed by Tate (1989) in Nb at 6K. The extra mass of gravitons would account for the anomaly. This is a small but measurable effect that occurs only in rotating SC, and is not observed in static SC.
 
5:30pm - Giorgio Fontana - Traveling in a Computational Universe
 
Dr Bob Baker presented this paper for Fontana, who could not travel out for the conference. Fontana's thesis is that our universe bears the mark of being computationally optimized, via the dimensionality of quantum mechanics.  The predictive power of this theory was not clear, and it was therefore difficult to judge in the absence of the author.
 
6:00pm Adjourned
 
14 FEB - SESSION F.03 - THEORETICAL CONSIDERATIONS - FTL TRAVEL
 
10:30am - Bob Baker - Lasers for GW Generation and Detection
 
Dr Bob Baker reviewed predicted GW power and GW amplitude predictions for the laser experiment being planned by the Chinese. High instantaneous powers do not necessarily translate into higher amplitudes, and it is the amplitude that triggers detection thresholds. In the case of the Chinese experiment, they are planning on using a synchro-resonance, or inverse Gertsenshtein detection process, with the GW waves focused via a fractal membrane. This should provide the necessary amplitude sensitivity.
 
11:00am - Eric Davis - Generating Negative Energies in the Lab
 
Dr Eric Davis covered various options for the possible creation of "negative energy" i.e. a depression in space time without the use of mass. Such negative energy distributions are required by the Alcubierre solution and other warp drives. Eric noted that the Casimir effect breaks down below 15um, well before the resultant suppressed ZPF modes would ever produce a useful quantity of negative energy. However, there are more robust methods envisioned, such as squeezed light or quantum coherence, where one quantum state is squeezed preferentially at the expense of another. Several production methods were outlined, including squeezing cavities and laser pulse superposition.
 
11:30am - Franklin Felber - Exact Relativistic Antigravity Propulsion
 
A new solution set for Einstein's GR field equations was presented that considered for the first time a fast moving dynamic source field solution. It was established that when a gravitational source moves faster than c/((3)^.5) the source can be repulsive. The half angle of repulsion reaches a maxima at B = .8 
 
12:00pm - Sonny White - Alcubierre Warp Drive in Higher Dimensions
 
White presented an investigation of the Alcubierre warp drive solution that included mapping it into a higher manifold, in this case the Chung-Freese metric. The Alcubierre solution requires a ring of negative energy in order to maintain its shape, and has previously been considered in static cases only. The question remained "how does one navigate?" White considered also the case of an initial state that included velocity, and in this case the ring field could be considered as a "boost" field in that the velocity is simply magnified along the same vector. This is useful from an engineering point of view.
 
14 FEB - SESSION F.04 - ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES FOR PROPULSION I
 
1:45pm - Keran O'Brien - Random Walk Solution to Heliotropic Transport Equation
 
Dr O'Brien presented an astrospherics paper describing the cosmic ray environment within the heliosphere, in particular modeling how cosmic rays are transported from the Inter Stellar Medium through the heliopause. Higher energy cosmic rays tend to enter through the bow shock.
 
2:15pm - Fontana & Baker - Generation of GW with Nuclear Reactions
 
Dr Bob Baker presented for Fontana a paper on how to generate gravitational waves using nuclear reactions. In this approach a fission source would feed a traveling wave reactor. The quadrupole moments of nuclei inside this reactor would all shift when impacted by a fission product. If all these shifts are in phase a coherent GW output would be produced. This could serve as a source of very strong, very concentrated (but small beam cross section) GW.
 
2:45pm - Paul Murad - Closed Form Solution to Navier Stokes Equation
 
Paul reviewed the history of Navier Stokes (N-S) solutions for hydrodynamics and some of the simplifying assumptions that have been made in the past. Cases where fluids are compressible or there is turbulence requires more general solutions outlined in Paul's paper. Simplifications that may still be used include conservation equations and in some cases symmetry, as in axisymmetric flows. Paul also raised the case where N-S solutions and MHD solutions to the same problem do not converge, and in this case one must use an iterative approach, and one can separate the E & B field terms. Mesh distortion terms can also be used to simplify geometry somewhat, but care must be taken when on the boundary of a (subsonic / supersonic) flight regime.
 
3:15pm - Danielle Graham - Experimental Data on Gravitational Augmentation
 
Data was presented on the possible effects of human presence on gravitational and geomagnetic measurements. The focus of interest at this presentation was on the gravitational effects, which were taken while a subject was seated motionless on a load cell, and was then asked to meditate. Drops of 6 to 8 N were observed during the exercises, whereas baselines were flat. Questions regarding thermal stability of the load cell were raised, but while no thermal data was gathered, thermal isolation of the load cell during the exercise was reportedly quite good. A demonstration was scheduled for after the conference.
 
14 FEB - SESSION F.05 - EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS & NEW CONCEPTS - II
 
4:00pm - Clive Woods - HFGW Optics
 
Based on the work of Li & Torr superconductors (SCs) were predicted to reduce to speed of propagation of GW. This means SCs could be used as lenses for GW. Because the index would be quite high (n = 300) reflectors would be more practical then refractors due to high transmission losses. At the diffraction limit this technology would be able to concentrate GW by a factor on n^2, or 90,000. Therefore this technology would be a possible enabling factor when attempting to detect otherwise very weak GW signals.
 
4:30pm - Bob Baker - PZ Crystal Resonator HFGW Generation
 
Dr Baker presented a paper written with co-authors Woods and Li that outlined a piezo-electric approach to the generation of HFGWs. In this embodiment 2.45um magnetrons would be used to excite FBAR resonators. Two collected sets of resonators are planned for the experiment, each at the end of a moment arm to the focus point, where the GW detector will be placed. The strength of the effect increases as the moment arm radius of rotation increases. The "two set" configuration of radiators had changed from a previous presentation, where there was a radial array of radiators. The two collected clumps of radiators are more efficient than the radial array because the effect goes as the third derivative of the radial change, which is maximized via axial asymmetry.
 
5:00pm - Clive Woods - A Novel Variable Focus Lens for HFGW
 
Dr Woods presented a design for a variable focal length lens for HFGW. Equations were solved for 6cm wavelengths but there is no reason why other wavelengths could not be used. Clive observed that Type II SCs allow magnetic vortices to penetrate through the SC bulk, and this affects the GW index of the material. The greater the static magnetic field, the less the index - this is the mechanism that could provide a variable focus. The radial spatial distribution of the B field could provide the lens shape, allowing the SC to be a flat piece. The lens would always be divergent but could be used in conjunction with a convergent reflector for any optical power.
 
5:30pm - Reiss & Hathaway - Experimental Lab Standards for Gravity Effects Search
 
George Hathaway presented a nice summary list of many of the experimental spurious noise sources that can enter gravitational experiments, including mechanical, thermal, and electrical effects that can interfere with good measurements. As an example of the configuration trades faced for a typical experiment, if an expensive Rubotherm magnetic suspension system is used to avoid entering a cryogen dewer, then how can thermal measurements be made within the dewer? A starting list of all possible measurement problems will be posted to
www.earthtech.org in about a week's time.
 
6:00pm - Adjourned
 
A brief levitation demonstration followed, sponsored by the Rathma School of Enlightenment and the NW Frontier Research Institute. Several Newtons of weight loss were observed in real time while monitoring a meditating subject seated on a scale.
 
7:30pm - 2006 STAIF Awards Banquet
 


15 FEB - SESSION F.06 - EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS & NEW CONCEPTS - III
 
10:30am - James Woodward - Mach's Principle, Flux Capacitors, and Propulsion
 
Dr Woodward presented an overview of the current state of his experimental investigations into the flux capacitor. The flux capacitor, also known as the Mach Lorentz Thruster (MRT), operates magnetic flux storage out of phase with electric capacitive charge storage to provide momentum exchange with the Machian background. For details of the method of operation see the Foundation of Physics, 10/04. No new physics is required to understand the modus operandi. The latest enhancement to the test article was to add a crown of wiring to dissipate the Lorentz wind effect as first discovered by Cox. This should help air testing look more like vacuum testing. In the past 700 uN thrusts were observed in air, with only 75 uN being observed in a vacuum.
 
11:00am - Paul March - Woodward Effect: Modeling and Experimental Verification
 
Paul presented his latest data on MLTs, which use a toroidal configuration with a BaTiO3 nonlinear dielectric core. The toroidal configuration means that a wind effect dissipation crown is not required. In spite of this, very high thrusts have been observed: about 2000 - 4000uN on the 2004 test article, and about 1000uN on the 2005 test article. Paul runs his tests over periods of at least 8 seconds because thrust seems to peak and flatten out only after at least 6 seconds.
 
11:30am - Nembo Buldrini - Experimental Study of Machian Mass Fluctuation Effect
 
Test results from the ARC Seibersdorf  Research facility in Austria were presented for several of Woodward's test articles. Woodward sent the test articles there, along with the required power supplies and signal generators. Testing was performed on a high precision balance, inside a faraday cage, inside a fully evacuated vacuum chamber. Results were negative in all cases. Researchers there also produced their own version of a MLT test article, and testing on that device was also negative - no thrust was observed in any of the cases. There is no explanation yet as to why results are negative in their vacuum chamber, but positive in many other tests. Testing is ongoing and there are plans to send additional test articles.
 
12:00pm - Tony Robertson - EM Nonlinearity in the Dielectric Medium   
 
Using some of the same references as Feigel (2004), Tony investigated predicted E x H effects for non-linear dielectric media which seem to account for much of the data taken on MLTs. After looking at the vacuum mode components of the volume momentum, Tony suggested that a non-linear material that provides magneto-electric birefringence properties would be a better material choice than piezo-electrics for use in MLTs. Other suggestions included using fewer turns in the induction coils, using an increased frequency, and if possible increasing the voltage still further. A combination of these changes should result in dramatically larger thrusts.


15 FEB - SESSION F.07 - ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES FOR PROPULSION II
 
4:00pm - George Miley - Space Propulsion based on Dipole Assisted IEC System
 
Dr Miley put a new twist onto his approach to IEC fusion by incorporating a dipole choke first implemented by MIT. In the context of IEC fusion this would require a "split grid," that is the usual spherical confinement grid would be split into a north and south set of hemispheres, each acting as a plasma mirror. In the center a coil would be added, with a hollow core, or bore section, which would act to further confine the plasma by a factor of 16 using the magnetic dipole generated by the coil. This new configuration has become known as a "Dipole assisted Inertia Electrostatic Confinement" fusion approach, or DaIEC. To further improve performance, George suggested the use of RF Ion Beam injection, perhaps from two opposite directions for efficiency improvements via beam to beam interactions, for a "gun injected DaIEC."
 
It is hard to overstate the importance of IEC technology as compared to regular fusion approaches such as ITER etc. Even with the dipole coil, the compact and lightweight nature of the IEC approach lend it much broader utility to a plethora of applications, including decentralized terrestrial power plants, SSTOs when supplemented with air breathing methods at lower speeds, and when ganged together, useful for deep space missions.  In the manned mission to Mars concept that George presented 10 IECs were combined to provide enough power for the vehicle. DaIEC development costs would likely be an order of magnitude less than other nuclear options for space, and the presentation provided the following cost & schedule estimates: lab development 20M + 4 years, proof of principle version 80M + 4 years, continuous operation plasma burning ground version 600M + 6 years, wrapping up with a manned space demonstration flight at 2800M + 6 years. Hence the entire program could get to an interplanetary operational capability with only 3.5B and 20 years, with the side benefits for military SSTO applicability, and terrestrial supplements to the US power grid in remote areas to reduce foreign dependence on oil. Benefits abound, for a very low cost to entry.
 
4:30pm - Young Bae - Precision Formation Flying for Satellites with nm Accuracy
 
Dr Bae has received funding from the NAIC for a conceptual development of the formation flight of satellites. Possible applications include LISA, SPECS, and Maxim, among others. The goal is ultra high precision (nm) formations, presumably for interferometric remote sensing. Propellant free concepts studied included tethers and EM dynamics. Young settled on a tethered approach, with a piezo actuator and stepper motor to provide the pulling force, and a photon (laser) thruster to provide the pushing force (up to 700 uN). Satellite to satellite ranging is conceptually provided by a separate laser interferometric system. The photon thrusters seems unnecessary - why he did not propose simply tethering them together and dual-axis spin stabilizing with ion thrusters is beyond me. We ran out of time for questions.
 
 
 
5:00pm - Froning & Czysz - Technology for 2025 to 2050 Military Aerospace Vehicles
 
Dr Paul Czysz presented as Dave Froning was not able to make the trip from Australia. He presented further details from their fascinating study from last year on possible propulsion concepts for manned military space vehicles of the future. The stretch goals are a manned SSTO to GEO by 2025, and manned CIS-Lunar by 2050.  The proposed solution for 2025 was a RAM/SCRAM jet with MHD and IEC fusion in a single SSTO vehicle. Takeoff weight would be 174 Tons, roughly the same as a B2. From Mach 0 to 14 the RAM / SCRAM jet would operate. At M = 14, the MHD would be activated for ½ second to produce ½ GW of power to light the IEC fusion rocket, which would take it the rest of the way to GEO. A key vehicle requirement is to place 18 Tons of payload into GEO orbit. It is suggested that the IEC fusion would be aneutronically fuelled to reduce the shielding weight.
 
5:30pm - Knecht, Mead, et.al. - DPF Fusion for Future Military Aerospace Vehicles
 
Another look at an option for the propulsion system of the 2025 SSTO baseline was detailed by Sean Knecht in this talk. A DPF fusion option was developed with an Isp of 1500 - 2000 s, Q = 3.0, a rep rate of 10 Hz, and n(prop) = .90. The capacitive bank was assumed to be half the mass of the propulsion payload weight, and although 3MJ/m^3 is the current maximum energy density, it was assumed that in 20 years it will be 5MJ/m^3. With these parameters, it is possible to develop thrusts of 500 to 1000 kN, with the propulsion system payload weighing in at 16 to 22 MT. The resultant cap specific energy is about 15 KJ/Kg. Cooling was not considered for either the fusion vessel or the capacitors, nor was the capacitor bank design detailed - these details were left to future studies.
 
6:00pm - Adjourned
 
 
16 FEB - SESSION F.08 - POTENTIAL FRONTIERS - II
 
10:30am - John Brandenburg - Mars X: Mars Mission using Solar Electric Propulsion
 
Microwave Electro Thermal (MET) thrusters are under development that may be suitable for use in a manned mission to Mars. The device is fed with RF energy at 915 MHz and produces an 8000deg F thrust at 900 sec of Isp. H2O is used as the propellant. It is expected that a 500 KW input would produce 100 N of thrust. At this output it need only be run for 1 month to entry a Mars transfer trajectory. Solar power would be provided by inflatable solar arrays that are capable of 1KW/Kg for Earth to Mars solar distance ranges. Dr Brandenburg also had recommendations regarding the Mars return ascent rocket. Due to the gravitational differences between the moon and Mars, the Mars ascent rocket will necessarily be in the class of an ATLAS rocket (rather than a LEM) to return 3 persons from the surface to escape velocity. This will require that a significant quantity of rocket fuel be manufacture in situ prior to the fueling of the rocket. John recommended that kerosene be manufactured rather than methane, since kerosene requires half as much Hydrogen for the same about of rocket fuel, and kerosene has nearly the same Isp as methane (360 vs. 370sec).
 
11:00am - Tom Valone - Progress in Electrogravitics for Aviation and Space Travel
 
Tom suggested that jet engines may by used to develop charge separation in conjunction with leading edge ionizers on aircraft to develop an ion envelope for aircraft in flight. Tom suggested that an ion sleeve about the airframe of an aircraft in flight may beneficially affect drag and stealth properties. It may be worthwhile to investigate the drag claims - if true they could have a useful impact on the fuel efficiency of new commercial aircraft designs still under development. There was also a review of some of the claims of TT Brown, including thrust of a positive pole of a charge capacitor in the atmosphere, and effect that allegedly produces 5N/KW at sea level, and that may be due to ion mobility.
 
11:30am - Jeremiah Hansen - Experiment to Simulate Gravity Using Diamagnetism
 
Jeremiah presented a novel concept for the generation of an artificial gravity environment while on orbit or during interplanetary transit. Noting that frogs have previously been levitated in a strong (4T) magnetic field, and further noting that humans are also weakly diamagnetic, Hansen suggested that strong magnetic fields (up to 40T?) may be used to provide an artificial gravity environment for humans in space. This concept could be tested on the ground by creating micro-gravity on Earth for human test subjects, to ensure there are no ill effects. The presentation concluded with a nice demonstration of a diamagnetic chip being levitated above a magnet array. Tom Valone of the audience suggested that the author review the reference "The Body Electric" to further investigate the possible health effects of this concept prior to its full scale development.
 
12:00pm - John Brandenburg - GEM Unification: Theory of FTL Travel
 
Dr Brandenburg wrapped up the conference by presenting a summary of his GEM concept, which is a combination of Sakharov's ZPF and Kaluza-Klein theory. Kaluza-Klein supposes that if 4D can account for space, time, and gravity, that 5D can account for space, time, gravity, and EM. This is consistent with the difficulty that has been experienced with measuring G - there may be unknown G-EM interactions that are interfering with measurements. On of the predictions of GEM is that FTL travel is possible. John made the point that, as we have seen with nuclear reactions when man first conceived of those, if we can theoretically predict something, and our theory is correct, then chances are good that nature is already doing it. Therefore there may already be large scale primordial wormholes in space time, that are providing a "multiply connected" universe. This prediction is supported by the observation that the microwave background is very uniform across the entire universe, suggesting some large scale energy leveling that has been hither to for unknown. This paper closed the session and conference.

Stranger than Strange: Strangely Quiet

 

 

 Centenary Celebration of E=MC2, a simplest of equations, Strangely Quiet.

 

“Yet what it (E=MC2) encapsulates is still hard for scientists to grasp”?  

 

An extremely embarrassing statement 100 years later, revealing a profound delusion of mathematical theoretical interpretation of this simplest of equations at the highest levels of contemporary math and science.

 

Imagine an interpretation, frozen in time since E=MC2's inception, petrified as in stone. 100 years of the same initial kindergarten steps of narrow repetition, bizarre definition, interpretation and crude nuclear application. Nothing even comes close to this utter lack of comprehension. Worse than if we still thought the world was flat, or rolled platforms on logs along our superhighways, or still used the old Radio Shack Tandy computer with cassettes for storage and memory.

 

Imagine 100 years of marvelous expanding scientific horizons in countless fields, and yet, E=MC2, the simplest of equations, the most essential to continuing Life, the following critical and crucial concept continues to be IGNORED: “any number of observations, if made on a sufficiently limited scale, will tend to indicate the earth is flat rather than spherical”.

 

Perpetuating this stagnating energy equation, by mindless evolution or design, can civilization hope to survive in the natural, explosive arena of expansion and change? (ironic that the scientific argument, evolution or design, ceases to exist with the expanded nature of energy in E=MC2, and "conserving the infinite, becomes a discarded dumbed down belief)

 

Regardless if the proposed “hidden variables” causing this stagnation are due to Top Secret, or narrow vision, or both, the incapacity to recognize the true relationship of mass, time, space, energy, gravity at energy differentials approaching and exceeding VC, concluding to this day, that nothing can exceed the speed of light and that gravity is disabled with one pole/"one leg", sends a dangerous and deadly message to all bound by a stagnant and dead science in the supremely life sensitive arenas of energy, survival, and sustainability.

 

An Evolutionary/Design Note: Common sense and psychology show the preliminary development stages from child to adult. If adults stayed at the one-two year old level, there would be no civilization. This evolutionary nature does not stop at the contemporary "well adjusted behavior" adult maturity stage, but continues, as thousands of years of history, writings, and few examples have shown.

 

These same evolutionary, Survival Required Criteria, apply to civilization timelines, including all arenas of scientific knowledge,  criteria common to General Systems, Gestalt, Fractal, Chaos, wholistic theories, and the historic, cyclic, "rise and fall of civilizations - ignoring critical evolutionary stages in the human dimension results in massive self-imposed tragedy and erasure of civilizations.

 

The application trend, Dumbing Us Down, by John Taylor Gotto, New York's Teacher of the year, is not a very polite, patriotic, or Life Sustaining behavioral shaping maneuver.

Einstein equation marks 100 years

By Roland Pease
BBC science correspondent


Physicists are celebrating the centenary of Albert Einstein's best known equation: E=mc².

Published in the fourth of a series of papers that shook the foundations of physics in 1905, E=mc² is now linked with the power of the atom bomb.

No equation is anywhere near as recognizable as E=mc².

In 1905, it was final proof of the genius and imagination of a young German-born scientist who had yet to land a university post.

It seems so simple: three letters standing for energy, mass, and the speed of light, brought together with the tightness of a soundbite.

Yet what it encapsulates is still hard for scientists to grasp.

Einstein showed in a handful of lines that as you accelerate an object, it not only gets faster, it also gets heavier.

That in turn makes further pushing less fruitful so that eventually nothing can be accelerated beyond the speed of light.

The equation rounded out the theory of relativity he had started earlier in the year.

Einstein soon recognized through the equation that the energy released in radioactivity - a phenomenon hardly understood at the time - might lead to measurable changes in mass.

That idea was eventually to be translated into the physics of the atom bomb.

Subject: Sampling Requirements to Join The Energy Center - Quantum Gravity

While group membership is open to the public, to join, prospective members will demonstrate comprehension of StarSteps principles & reason for joining to eaglehawkvision@....

Sampling Requirements to Join The Energy Center:

As one of the oft ignored requirements to join stipulates demonstrating comprehension of StarSteps principles, the non-reader of StarSteps understandably may well feel at a loss. I can only state with utter certainty that a fourth grade reader can grasp in layman's terms the expanded and intended vision of  E=MC2.

QUANTUM GRAVITY
 
What insights and clarification can StarSteps bring to the quagmire and quicksand grasping the Holy Grail of modern physics, the theory of "quantum gravity" - a theory attempting to combine two seemingly opposed pillars of modern science, general relativity and quantum theory, towards a 'theory of everything", using bits and pieces of a three roads model derived from string theory, quantum loop theory and independent studies?
 
While quantum gravity is really a bass ackwards attempt to explain and expand our window to reality, through this fog some clear insights contradicting fundamental entrenched (and isolated) scientific views are emerging, but insufficient to comprehend and therefore utilize.
 
I will present other examples from time to time of how StarSteps surpasses the emerging scientific contradictions of FTL (faster than light), field dependant propulsion, polarization of gravity, action at a distance, as well as "movement", the appearance of motion, from one point to another without going through all points in between. As these examples are all extremely elementary and simple, demonstrating comprehension is required for communication, verses 'noise', to proceed and benefit those involved in this group. 
 
In the example below in our expanding window to reality, the reader of StarSteps will grasp immediately the problem of relationships, as well as clarity of definitions in components of reality (space, time, mass, matter, energy, gravity) as they are viewed through the "Radius of Curvature" from the micro through to the macro. 
 
Please explain the quantum gravity view below resulting in this statement:
 
There is something incomplete about a law which asserts a balance between two very dissimilar things
 
".............Consider a black hole interacting with a gas of atoms and photons. The black hole can swallow an atom or a photon. When it does so, the entropy of a region outside the black hole decreases because the entropy is a measure of information about that region, and if there are fewer atoms or photons there is less to know about the gas. To compensate, the entropy of the black hole must increase, otherwise the law that entropy can never decrease would be violated. As the entropy of the black hole is proportional to the area of its horizon, the result must be that the horizon expands a little.
 
And indeed, this is what happens. The process can also go the other way: the horizon can shrink a little, which means that the entropy of the black hole will decrease. To compensate, the entropy outside the black hole must increase. To accomplish this, photons must be created just outside the black hole - photons that comprise the radiation that Hawking predicted should be emitted by a black hole. The photons are hot, so they can carry the entropy that must be created to compensate for the fact that the horizon shrinks.
 
What is happening is that, to preserve the law that entropy does not decrease, a balance is being struck between, on the one hand, the entropy of the of atoms and photons outside the black hole, and on the other, the entropy of the black hole itself. But notice that two very different things are being balanced. The entropy outside the black hole we understand in terms of the idea that matter is made out of atoms; it has to do with missing information. The entropy of the black hole itself seems to have nothing to do with either atoms or with information. It is a measure of a quantity which has to do with the geometry of space and time: it is proportional to the area of the black hole's event horizon.
 
So what does the temperature of a black hole actually measure? What does the entropy of a black hole really describe? And more importantly, why is the entropy of a black hole proportional the area of its horizon?
 
.......................................................................
 
 
StarSteps answers these and the other questions regarding the false assumptions made by current science and math regarding E=MC2, beyond the elementary, kindergarten variety of ape and clublike nuclear access. Safe and simpler means to access the awesome potential of E=MC2 in harmony with understanding the laws of nature exist. 
 
NOTE:  CONTEMPORARY MATHEMATICS AND THEORIES ARE NOT WRONG WITHIN THEIR RESPECTIVE/RELATIVE SPECIFIED POSITIONS AND CONDITIONS OF MEASUREMENT. THE ERR COMMENCES WHEN ATTEMPTS TO MEASURE REFERENCE POINTS SPAN ACROSS ENERGY DIFFERENTIALS THROUGH MICRO AND MACRO REGIONS WHERE THE RADIUS OF CURVATURE MUST BE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT. AS SPACE AND TIME ALSO FOLLOW THE RADIUS OF CURVATURE PATH, AND INTERACT WITH ANY CHANGES IN ENERGY DIFFERENTIALS OF MASS AND MATTER, A COMMON DENOMINATOR IS REQUIRED TO MEASURE  ACROSS THE ENERGY DIFFERENTIALS OF SPACE, TIME, MASS, MATTER, ENERGY, GRAVITY, FIELDS. 
 
As we celebrate the 100th year Centennial of Einstein's 1905 revelation, I challenge you to ask yourself two common sense questions.

Does the proven original and still current means of accessing the awesome energies of E=MC2 lie solely at the deadly radioactive level 100 years later? A view analogous to claiming the earth is still flat; a view now putting us in the untenable position of  "dammed if we do, dammed if we don't". 

And yet, by SECRECY AND SILENCE - THE DEATH SENTENCE WAS ALSO SEALED, as the advanced energy requirements for survival were denied.

By the latter statement, I will specify a clearly ignored Natural/Nature Law of Survival which even psychology 101 will confirm: If a majority of a population in a civilization goes DUMBED DOWN, death and destruction are imminent. This law is now made clearly transparent with gas prices flying off the charts, and oil and gas resources and reserves heading to extinction. Evolution appears to have a fail safe criterion: EVOLVE OR DIE - And not just science and energy base evolution, but human evolution in the areas of wisdom and understanding. The "dammed if we do, dammed if we don't" refers to the clamp of SECRECY IN THE HOLY NAME OF NATIONAL SECURITY IN THE SCIENCES: release of this knowledge would destroy the Power Structure and Control by a few of all natural resources required for life, specifically energy. Furthermore, as an aviation editor for Jane's Defense Weekly so aptly put, "free clean energy for everyone on the one hand, or the biggest bloody bomb you can imagine"- as probable cause for suppression of certain scientific fundamentals in a populace incapable of either wisdom nor understanding. (wisdom simply referring to the 'uses' to which our creations shall be put, including harm to one eventually ends in harm to all, death of a civilzation, a concept mandating a gestalt awakening beyond religious and philosophical moral tones. IN FACT, EVOLUTIONISTS AND CREATIONISTS CONCEPTS MERGE AND UNITE IN THE EXPANDED CONCEPT OF E=MC2.

Perhaps the ancients knew something we don't, as they handed down the symbol of the circle with the mathematical sine wave running through its center, and made statements to the effect: The Lethargy of a People - a condition in the cyclical rise and fall of civilizations - the people followed the errs of the kings and outdated systems, merrily and blindly playing in the sandbox, until they lost their kings, their temples, their systems, their land, their lives..........

The Case for Science as our evolutionary, sustainable and imperitive survival tool is gathering momentum, as witnessed by the hugh winning edge the Evil-ution team has over the Evolution Team. (......by the way, that's 'free' science, not corporate profit directed and dominated university science)
Note: The Core Centerpiece of "Dumbing Us Down" and the Threat "Free Dumb" Poses is The Amazing Stagnation of E=MC2
 
David Griffin's incendiary but well-documented charges of Bush administration complicity in 9/11 have been scheduled for national telecast! C-span will broadcast Griffin's talk "9/11 and the American Empire: How Should Religious People Respond?"  http://arizona.indymedia.org/news/2005/04/26434.php
A retired Christian theologian, Griffin, 65, taught for more than 30 years at the Claremont School of Theology in California. His comments Monday night were directed at religious people, who he said need to respond to Sept. 11 - and the American empire that has ensued - based on the moral principles of their religious traditions. Drawing laughter from the crowd, Griffin said he had in mind principles like: "Thou shalt not covet thy neighbors' oil" and "Thou shalt not murder thy neighbors in order to steal their oil."

I thought this was an interesting response from EagleHawk to the greenglow group message:  Re Silence?
 
Fwd: ================ from EagleHawk
 
Who could have imagined celebrating 100 years of Einstein's legacy with that awesome equation, E=MC2, and still being stuck at the crude and almost prehistoric access gates.
 
How right you are Mike, with "it's all mine" mentality, expanded to a viewing perspective category of "shortsightedness: "The mentality responsible for slow advancements within our technologies is based on the "it's mine" mentality."
 
Science is a major access to our expanding window to reality, and our ability to thrive and survive. Shut that door, and civilization advancing in complexity will die. When the clamps were put on E=MC2 in the 40's and 50's, the dumbing down process of behavior modification began in earnest. The expanding window to reality must contain complete perspectives - Local, Global, Me, We, Point, Circumference, Physics, Metaphysics - which all possess common scientific attributes - an evolving movement from a point of view to a viewing point.....which does not delete the point of view but provides comprehension, understanding. The flat earth analogy references today's perspective on E=MC2.
 
Going backwards to the "anal retentive retardation" mode is a very simple psychological manipulation process - reversing the child development stages: from "it's just me early stages of awareness, towards an expanding cognition of an external world and "others" in it, with the relationships therein conducive to life. (recall the application ease of the Milgram Psychology principle). The reward structure fostering the backward development march creates the enormously complex physical structures, social institutions and laws (defying common sense) that prevent a return to normalcy through economic parameters and sanctions. "We all must support the beast to survive and eat today" and the dragon eating its own tail analogy becomes clear. 
 
The only liberation is through scientific advancement, beginning with the required, extremely low cost, unlimited energy evolution,  necessary for sustainable survival for all. (i.e., where your life, lifestyle, and ability to survive does not depend upon the likes of Kenneth Lay, corporate rulers, et al, who are beginning to own all the resources world wide that are required to live)
 
However, the necessary energy base evolution to sustainable survival that was to come from an expanded viewpoint of "E=MC2" was silenced. As Tesla's former benefactor recognized, there can be no monopoly when every person has his own access to unlimited energy sources. In so doing, that also silenced the scientific connection to Human evolution, progress and survival itself............today we reflect in amazement the speed with which wagon trains climbed over rocky mountains, contrasted to us in modern vehicles, over flat terrain. 
 
Some very shortsighted people will scream Conspiracy!!!!!!..............however ignorance is no excuse to the denial of the development processes and stages, which civilizations must develop and evolve through. (namely today, the power mode abuse stage),  The records are found throughout history. 
 
Unfortunately, human evolution is not even considered within mainstream educational systems (beyond Piaget "child development' or Maslov's "survival vs self-actualization needs"). The astounding fact of Nature's intended revelation and scientific connection, between energy evolution and human evolution, has not even come up as a possibility of thought, much less a survival requirement......notwithstanding the beacon from the past, the circle with the sine wave curve running through its center, boldly pointing to the radius of curvature of all natural law within the expanded concept equation of E=MC2 .
 
Without a scientific human evolution connection, advances required in life sustaining energy evolution leave us with a "dammed if you do, dammed if you don't death threat. - see the funny side how Nature opposes our mental sickness   http://fadingillusionviarealitycurve.blogspot.com/
 
Conclusion, when Freedom changed to Freedumb, the death march of civilization began.
  
"Resource wars" and the "stabilization, restoration of equilibrium processes" in Gaia's balance mechanisms, equilibriums that have been maintained for eons, have almost past the point of no return, while all the little minds continue heading into the death trap playing ego, me better than thou, trivia word games in the tower of babble to the very end.
 
As a very ridiculed person from the 50's so aptly stated: "comprehending the "Uses (i.e., life sustaining)" that our creations shall be put constitute the third leg of the tripod analogy upon which civilization rests. The Physical Sciences, the Mental Sciences, and the "Missing" SCIENCE, which today's hollywooders, footsyballers, commercial shopper droppers and smart bombers claim is just a 2000+ year old repetitive, individualized, verbal belief system.
 
EagleHawk sends his regards, and compliments this group on the mucho progress since his last flyby, and specifically in broadcasting this group's reputation in the "Illusion vs gravitational anomalies discussions".

 The time would be now to review the enourmously simple missing pieces of E=MC2
Continued "lagging & dragging" of the fundamental basics of E=MC^2 presented to the scientific world in 1905 will result in catastrophe.
 
For civilization to survive, science and the energy equation must evolve.
 
The stagnation of the promise of E=MC^2 began in the 1950's, with fundamental segments of research progress and experimentation totally silenced.

Einstein's Legacy
Jan. 20, 2005


This story was written by Robert C. Cowen


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Orbiting 400 miles above Earth, a satellite called Gravity Probe B is looking for subtle effects predicted by Albert Einstein's theory of relativity. Finding them requires unparalleled precision. The rotors in the satellite's gyroscopic instruments are the closest humans have ever come to making perfect spheres. The mission is the latest confirmation that the quest to follow Einstein's lead never ends.

It has been 100 years since Einstein published five papers that led directly to two Nobel Prizes, unveiled the world's most famous scientific equation, and set physics on the course it still follows today.

Now, a century later, physicists are throwing a year-long, worldwide party to commemorate the results of that trajectory. Einstein's work - along with subsequent advances in quantum mechanics - have blossomed into scientific discoveries that touch ordinary lives in many surprising ways.

"If ever physics had a golden age, a case could be made that it is now," says Stephen Benka, editor of the magazine Physics Today. Physics not only informs our view of the natural world, it affects human life in many practical ways, he adds. For example, "we are rapidly gaining new knowledge of Earth and its physical systems." Think tsunami warning networks.

Biology, he says, "is increasingly enlightened by physics." Even esoteric aspects of quantum physics find practical use in the form of hard-to-break codes that protect the privacy of online bank records.

Other areas of physics remain more speculative: the possibility of many extra dimensions, for example, or the prospects of decoding the physical dynamics of complex and highly unpredictable systems, like Earth's climate. The Monitor will examine these and other research frontiers in coming months.


A Worldwide Party

This year's celebrations will honor Einstein's achievements as part of human experience, Mr. Benka says. They will deal with the nexus where physics meets other aspects of that experience, including art and religion.

Of course, when cutting-edge physicists decide to celebrate, the results can be a little wild. Fire walkers in the Philippines will illustrate heat-transfer physics. German physicists in Tübingen offer a simulation of what the landscape would look like if you zoom down the street at the speed of light. Indian physicists plan street theater demonstrations. Musicals with an Einstein theme will bring song and dance to the party in the United States and Portugal.

In the spirit of whatever it takes to catch the public's attention, Einstein impersonators will be clowning around at various events. In Ireland, one such actor has already posed with a light bulb held over his head. No telling what will happen next month when an "Einstein" stalks the halls of the American Association for the Advancement of Science during its annual meeting in Washington.

Physicists have several names for their celebration. Some call it the World Year of Physics. The US Congress endorsed that name. The United Nations General Assembly calls it the International Year of Physics. Britain and Ireland simply say "Einstein Year" (see these websites: www.physics2005.org, www.wyp2005.org, and www.einsteinyear.org). That last title may be the most appropriate name, given what Einstein produced during what historians call his "miraculous year."

In 1905, Einstein's five papers showed how to prove definitively that atoms exist - a controversial subject at the time. They showed that light comes in discrete packets called photons. And they changed forever our perspective on time and space. Not bad for an unknown 26-year-old with a newly minted PhD working in the Swiss patent office.

The least famous of these "miraculous" papers dealt with a question that had puzzled observers for millenniums: Why did dust motes in the air and pollen grains in water jiggle about randomly?

Physicists call it "Brownian motion" after botanist Robert Brown, who studied the phenomenon in 1827. Einstein attributed the jiggling to molecules bumping into the particles. He showed how to calculate how many molecules hit a grain of pollen and how fast they moved. French physicist Jean Perrin used Einstein's insight to set up experiments that proved once and for all that atoms and molecules exist. For that, Perrin won a Nobel Prize.

Einstein believed the most original idea in his 1905 published work was that light can be a particle as well as a wave. The idea addresses the photoelectric effect by which light shining on certain materials causes an electric current to flow. A photocell used to open a supermarket door illustrates the effect. Einstein explained the phenomenon by treating light as a collection of particles called photons whose energy depends only on the color of the light. He received the Nobel Prize for this insight. The discovery also opened the way for the science of quantum physics that was yet to come.


A New Relationship

Think Einstein and you think relativity. Many physicists consider his 1905 relativity insights and their subsequent follow-up to be his greatest achievement. "We have a conception of space and time built into us," which Einstein showed to be an illusion, said physicist and Nobel laureate Steven Weinberg at the University of Texas in Austin. "He for the first time made space and time a part of physics and not of metaphysics."

Newton and physicists after him considered space and time to be primordial absolutes. They were the same for all observers - no questions asked. Einstein, however, said the laws of nature and the speed of light are the absolutes, which must be the same for all observers moving uniformly relative to each other. Observers moving at different speeds would perceive spatial dimensions and clock rates differently.

Those abstract principles have serious consequences. What Einstein called their "most important upshot" became the most famous equation in all of physics: E=mc2. It says that material mass and energy are the same thing. Eventually, that theory set the stage for the development of the atomic bomb and nuclear power plants.

Einstein later added a third relativity principle that extended his theory to include gravity. He assumed that when applying a given force to an object, the kind of mass that determines its acceleration and the mass that produces gravity are the same. In this perspective, gravity is no longer a force between objects. It's the way a mass like Earth actually warps space and affects clock rates.

Today, Gravity Probe B is following a curved path through space produced by Earth's mass. No gravitational "force" holds it in orbit. It just follows the obvious path through space. The satellite is carefully tracing that path to see if it is in accord with Einstein's predictions. Einstein also predicted Earth's rotation would drag space around with it. This has been seen only once before. The Gravity Probe B team hopes to improve the accuracy of that observation 10-fold.
1687: Isaac Newton publishes "The Principia," putting forward his famous three laws of motion and theory of universal gravitation. By mathematically stating the motion of visible bodies, Newton establishes a basis for much of modern theoretical physics.


1859: Charles Darwin writes "On the Origin of Species." His theory of evolution through natural selection becomes the overarching paradigm for modern biology.


1873: James Maxwell publishes his best work on his theories of electricity and magnetism. His set of laws unifies fundamental forces for the first time - and provides the first break with Newton.


1885: Louis Pasteur applies his germ theory of disease in successfully inoculating a boy bitten by a rabid dog. The procedure marks the beginning of modern preventative medicine.


1905: Albert Einstein publishes five papers on three subjects that prove definitively that atoms exist, show that light comes in discrete packets, and change forever humanity's conception of time and space.

Hydrogen feasibility update - The search for water-splitting materials brightens up (forward below) - Cautionary Note: "... a necessary but insufficient condition"  Perhaps our magnificent technological sophistication is searching in the wrong micro closets? Probable Causes:
  •   Brought on by extreme aversion and avoidance to interpret the scientifically linked, historical, treasure trove of data from humanities past
  •   Non recognition of an unmatched, world wide Icon of the past (mathematically translated), the circle and the sine wave - a visual broadcast of Nature's physical, primary Constant, revealing an expanded version of E=MC^2 - the Radius of Curvature of all Natural Law
  •   A Radius of Curvature Constant conclusively Illuminating the engineering and electrochemical nature and ingredients for splitting water effortlessly, while paving the way to FTL (faster than light) and Field-Dependent Propulsion Systems
  •   Back Burner Placement of a General Systems grasp, a micro to macro scientific consolidation view, which would also reveal the missing Illusion (light/vision related), simplistic principles of a Radius of Curvature Constant, permitting manipulation of natural laws in harmonic accordance, rather than costly and inefficient pitting of one natural law against another.
  • "In the manipulation of Gravity and ZPE, the world would change. Nothing would ever be the same again. The physical, mental and spiritual sciences would unite under the same natural laws" - brings on FEAR by the populace to avoid at all costs; LOVE by those in Power to keep secret at all costs. Not surprising, NASA's "Breakthrough Propulsion Physics"  lost its program funding.
 THE CURRENT STATUS QUO  IS SHAPED BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION - DELIBERATE CUES FOCUSING ON THE TRIVIA AND AVOIDANCE OF GESTALT / COMPREHENSION / UNDERSTANDING - akin to an absurd analogy of being forced to determine how a laboratory fingernail came into being without the slightest thought given, or permitted, to its origination, the fact that it was connected to the human body. A disconnected fingernail loses meaning when common sense is lost. 
 
As they used to say in the destroyed wisdom circles of civilization's recorded history, "absolute power and greed corrupts absolutely, bringing about total madness and destruction". (NOTE MODERN PSYCHOLOGY'S COMPLETE FREUDIAN AVERSION TO ADDRESS THE CONCEPTS OF POWER, HUMAN DEVELOPMENT AND HUMAN EVOLUTIONARY NATURE - a causal factor of directional (ALL SCIENCE) university funding - the FREEDUMB of lost choice in democracy).
 
Will the Nature of the True Evil Beast be recognized prior to the analogy of "the dragon eating its own tail consumes itself entirely?
 
The immensity and destructive Power of "unregulated, non-living, law creating entities, that are privatizing every natural ingredient required for LIFE for the sole and ONLY goal of maximum profit, in the hands of a few.......................... will make WWII look like heaven in comparison.

Solar Hydrogen: The search for water-splitting materials brightens up
http://www.sciencenews.org/articles/20041030/bob10.asp
Science News Online  -  Week of Oct. 30, 2004; Vol. 166, No. 18  - Alexandra Goho

In his 1874 science fiction tale The Mysterious Island, Jules Verne 
predicted, "Water will be the coal of the future." It is a vision of 
infinite clean energy available for people to use.  More than 30 years 
ago, Japanese scientists took a seminal step in that direction.
With a piece of titanium dioxide and some sunlight, they split water into 
hydrogen and oxygen.  Although researchers have tried to refine the 
process over the years, nobody has come up with a system that is both 
efficient and inexpensive enough to produce sufficient hydrogen for use as 
a clean-burning fuel on the roads, in industry, and at home.  Recently, 
however, researchers have picked up the pace of their pursuit of the 
ultimate water-splitting system.
With rising oil prices and the specter of climate change that's due to the 
burning of fossil fuel, the vision of a hydrogen economy looms ever larger 
in people's minds.  After all, it's a fuel for which the only by-product 
is water.  And hydrogen packs more energy per unit mass than any fossil 
fuel does.
But the main source of hydrogen today is natural gas, a non-renewable 
resource.  And the steam-based process for extracting hydrogen from the 
gas generates carbon dioxideone of the primary global warming gases.  To 
circumvent these problems, scientists are exploring alternative 
strategies.  Among them are photosynthetic microbes that churn out 
hydrogen (SN: 10/12/02, p.  235:
<
http://www.sciencenews.org/articles/20021012/bob11.asp>) and 
electromechanical systems that use the electricity from wind turbines to 
make hydrogen from water (SN: 7/21/01, p.  45:
<
http://www.sciencenews.org/articles/20010721/bob14.asp>).

However, many scientists contend that catalytic materials that use 
sunlight to split water on the spot, a process known as direct 
solar-hydrogen production, could be the most promising strategy.
In solar-hydrogen systems, when photons strike the catalytic material, 
they excite electrons, which then roam about freely until they meet a 
water molecule at the material's surface.  The extra electrons strip the 
two hydrogen atoms away from water's one oxygen atom, producing hydrogen 
fuel.  The oxygen atom simultaneously hooks up with another oxygen atom, 
forming an oxygen molecule.

Not only is sunlight readily available, "you don't need a lot of water to 
make hydrogen fuel," says John Turner of the Department of Energy's 
National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Golden, Colo.
If all the 230 million cars and other light-duty vehicles in the United 
States were running on hydrogen, 100 billion gallons of water per year 
would be sufficient to supply the fuel, Turner says.  The nation's 
households collectively consume almost that much water in just a week of 
drinking, cooking, and washing.

What's sorely missing, however, is a water-splitting material that's 
simultaneously efficient, inexpensive, and stable.  Whoever invents a 
substance that meets all three criteria will add momentum toward a 
hydrogen economy, revving up progress to highway speeds.

Mix it up

The most widely studied material for solar hydrogen is titanium dioxide, 
the same stuff used to make white paint.  Titanium dioxide is great at 
splitting water, but it absorbs only ultraviolet (UV)
light, which constitutes a scant few percent of the solar energy reaching 
Earth's surface.  Researchers have tried with some success to increase 
titanium dioxide's efficiency by spicing it with different elements.  
Other chemists are instead layering different light-absorbing materials to 
combine the best of each into one device that taps the broad band of 
energy the sun offers.

Several years ago, Turner and his colleagues created such a layered device 
by placing gallium indium phosphide, which absorbs ultraviolet and visible 
light, on top of gallium arsenide, which absorbs infrared lights (SN: 
4/18/98, p.  246).  The resulting device could convert 12.5 percent of 
sunlight's energy into the production of hydrogen.
This was a feat of efficiency, but "the materials are expensive and they 
only last about 20 hours" before corroding, says Turner.

To speed up the discovery of suitable materials, chemical engineers at the 
University of California, Santa Barbara have adapted a robotics-intensive 
strategy known as combinatorial chemistry, the same approach that 
pharmaceutical chemists take to synthesize and test new drugs.  Led by 
Eric McFarland, the group designed a system that can rapidly synthesize 
120 different materials and test each one's water-splitting capacity, all 
in a single day.

The system works in the following way.  First, the researchers coat a 
4-inch-square glass plate with titanium foil to serve as an electrode.  
They next add a thick layer of Teflon perforated with 120 holes.  The 
researchers then fill the holes with different preformulated solutions 
containing a dissolved semiconductor material mixed with various metals.  
For instance, the base semiconductor might have zinc oxide or tungsten 
oxide, and each sample would be doped with differing proportions of, 
nickel, copper, or chromium.

In a process called electrodeposition, a robotic instrument dips an 
electrode into each solution one by one, causing the dissolved materials 
to form a thin solid film on the titanium-coated glass.
Peeling away the Teflon leaves behind 120 thin dots of material, each with 
a different composition.

To test the water-splitting potential of the newly created films, a second 
robotic instrument lowers a tiny chamber onto each dot and fills the 
chamber with a conductive aqueous solution, or electrolyte.
The robot then shines light on the chamber and measures the current the 
film generates.  By repeating this quick test on each film, the robot 
screens the entire array in a matter of hours.

The greater the current produced by a film when illuminated, the more 
electrons it gives up, and therefore the greater its potential to split 
water and generate hydrogen.

This technique amounts to an efficient form of trial-and-error.  "We can 
afford to try all sorts of wacky things," says Thomas Jaramillo, one of 
the investigators working on the project.  "That's the real power of this 
technology."

It also enables the researchers to take inexpensive semiconductors such as 
zinc oxide and tweak them to improve their properties.
Already, the Santa Barbara team has seen some promising results.

The researchers found that when they added cobalt to zinc oxide to create 
a mixture that was 4.5 percent cobalt by weight, they boosted the zinc 
oxide's current-generating capacity fourfold.  The extra cobalt enables 
the material to absorb a larger part of the solar spectrum and thereby 
free up more electrons, explains Jaramillo.

In tandem

Changing a material's chemistry is just one way of devising new candidates 
for use in solar-hydrogen production.  With the advent of nanotechnology, 
scientists have come to recognize that tweaking a material's fine 
structure can have dramatic effects.  Take the so-called tandem cell 
invented by Michael Grtzel of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in 
Lausanne, a leader in the field of photovoltaics.

The tandem cell consists of two separate but electrically connected 
light-absorbing materials, one of which splits water.  The water-splitting 
material faces the sun and consists of a thin film of either tungsten 
trioxide or iron oxide in front of a sheet of conducting glass.  The back 
material is a photovoltaic device known as a Grtzel cell (SN:

BUBBLING WITH HYDROGEN.  In this tandem cell, a nanostructured metal-oxide 
film absorbs the sun's ultraviolet and blue light to split water.  
Hydrogen Solar Ltd.

The nanoscale structure of the metal-oxide film is critical to its water 
splitting capacity.  The film is made of 50 to 100 loosely packed layers 
of metal-oxide spheres, each about 20 nanometers in diameter.  This 
geometry provides a vast amount of surface1,000 times as great as its 
two-dimensional area.  The small spheres also make the material more 
chemically reactive than it would be in bulk form.

When exposed to sunlight, the nanostructured film absorbs UV and blue 
light.  The rest of the spectrum passes through the material to be 
absorbed by the Grtzel cell.  That solar cell provides extra electrons 
that make the water splitting more efficient.

In September, Hydrogen Solara British company that's working with Grtzel 
to develop the technologyannounced that its tandem cell with the 
nanostructured film had achieved 8 percent efficiency.  This marked a 
doubling of the performance of earlier devices without the nanostructured 
film.  The firm says it is close to reaching the U.
S.  Department of Energy's efficiency goal of 10 percent, says David Auty, 
chief executive of Hydrogen Solar, which is headquartered in Guilford, 
England.  That's the benchmark for commercial viability, says Auty.
Auty envisions installing arrays of tandem cells on the rooftops of home 
garages.  The cells would provide drivers with hydrogen for their fuel 
cell vehicles.  These vehicles would consume hydrogen and produce water, 
essentially reversing the process that generated the hydrogen in the first 
place.

A rooftop unit working with 10 percent efficiency in a sunny Southern 
California location could generate enough hydrogen to drive 11,000 miles 
per year in the small Mercedes-Benz fuel cell car that went on the market 
in Germany in June, says Auty.  To generate larger amounts of fuel, tandem 
cells could cover the roofs of factories and even central fueling 
stations, from which trucks would transport hydrogen across the country.  
This scenario would still require practical solutions for the 
transportation of this highly explosive gas.

With funding from the Department of Energy, Hydrogen Solar is 
collaborating with the University of Nevada at Las Vegas to develop its 
technology.  The company plans to have a pilot fueling station up and 
running near the campus in 3 years.

Auty concedes that hydrogen from tandem cells, at least in the near term, 
will cost at least twice of much as hydrogen produced from natural gas.  
But the price of natural gas fluctuates widely, he says.  What's more, 
unlike the method used to extract hydrogen from natural gas, the 
tandem-cell technique doesn't generate carbon dioxide.

Like many people in the industry, Auty anticipates that regulations 
eventually will dictate that oil and gas companies capture and sequester 
the carbon dioxide they generate.  "I don't think anyone knows just how 
much extra it's going to cost, but it's certainly going to add to the 
price of the fuel," he says.

And that, Auty adds, should help make solar hydrogen more economical.

Molecular machines

While Hydrogen Solar continues to refine its materials, other groups are 
pursuing a different approach.  These investigators are engineering 
complex molecular machines that can split water using solar energy.

Consider the work of Karen Brewer of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and 
State University in Blacksburg.  She says the reason it's been so 
difficult to make efficient solar hydrogen materials is that each water 
molecule needs two additional electrons to strip off its hydrogen atoms.  
Her lab is developing molecular structures that can deliver multiple 
electrons simultaneously to a central reaction center, which then 
catalyzes the splitting of water.

Many of the other solar-hydrogen materials are inefficient in gathering up 
the two electrons needed to split water.  Because the reaction is thus 
energy intensive, materials such as titanium dioxide work only under 
high-energy UV light.  By designing materials at the molecular scale, 
Brewer says she can build greater efficiency into the system.  For 
instance, she has designed molecular complexes that absorb visible light 
and thereby tap into energy carried in a larger part of the solar spectrum.

The Virginia Tech team tested different combinations of components over 
many years before it created successful supramolecular complexes.
"We figured it out through an awful lot of work and a lot of wrong choices 
along the way," says Brewer.  Her group presented its results in August at 
the national meeting of the American Chemical Society in Philadelphia.

Brewer's molecular complexes mimic natural photosynthesis.  The machine, a 
combination of organic and metal-containing components, comprises three 
main units.  A chemical bridge connects each of the two light-absorbing 
units to a catalytic central unit.

The light-absorbing units contain ruthenium atoms.  As in a chlorophyll 
molecule, a photon hitting a ruthenium atom excites one of its electrons.  
The electron is then shuttled to the central unit, which contains a 
rhodium atom.  The rhodium collects electrons, two at a time, to perform 
the reaction.

To ensure that the excited, mobilized electrons would gather in the 
central unit, the researchers designed the complex's chemical bridges to 
attract the electrons from the light-absorbing segments and shuttle them 
in the right direction.  Once the team got the bridges in order, the next 
challenge was finding a metal for the central catalytic unit that would be 
strong enough to pull the electrons.
"The problem initially was that the electrons would just sit there on the 
bridges," says Brewer.

Eventually, the team found the answer in rhodium.  "This has been a major 
breakthrough for us," Brewer says.  Not only is rhodium a strong electron 
acceptor, but it's also reactive enough to split water and it's stable.  
In short, it could be just right for making solar-hydrogen systems.

The researchers have done preliminary experiments in which they mixed the 
molecular complexes with water in a glass vial and exposed the vial to 
visible light.  Soon thereafter, hydrogen began to bubble from the 
system.  These initial studies indicate that the efficiency of the system 
is already "reasonable," Brewer says.

As the world begins to shift toward a hydrogen economy, other 
hydrogen-generating technologies initially might win out over 
solar-generated hydrogen.  "Countries will use whatever source is cheapest 
at the time," says Veziroglu.  "It may be natural gas, coal, wind, or 
hydropower, but eventually, it will be solar energy."

And if water and sunlight are all it takes, then Jules Verne's fantasy of 
burning water like coal will have been realized.

Reminder on requests to join this group: We are again experiencing an onslaught of  requests to join. PLEASE READ THE REQUIREMENT CRITERIA. Some may think StarSteps is too simple to read, since a fourth grader could comprehend/understand. However, it is precisely the absolute simplicity that allows the fundamental principles to remain hidden in plain sight, especially, as the "authorities" continue to promote "look yonder". Like the Joker's blog on Illusions, you will KNOW WHEN YOU GET IT. At that point, you will recognize our objectives, the requirements, and can email EagleHawk how you plan to assist and contribute.

More on Frame Dragging Connections to EagleHawk's Message.

ELIMINATE THE FRAMES - and convert to equals (apples to apples).  Space-time-mass/inertia-matter-energy-gravity are not independent entities, but interdependent, where a change to one causes a change to the others. Remembering Einstein's "when one looks at matter closely enough, one finds nothing but a frequency of vibration".

Strange Brew

No wonder everything looks STRANGE - science resembling a flat earth view at energy levels where the Curve of Illusion demands measurement with the ability to integrate and comprehend more than a few variables at a time


Cold Research, Super-Atoms, Strange Brew

Strange brew: To make the condensate the researchers cooled potassium gas to a billionth of a degree above absolute zero - the temperature at which matter stops moving .............................. (QUESTION:  WHAT IS THAT ENERGY DIFFERENTIAL - converting temperature - BETWEEN THE SPECIFIC REFERENCE POINTS OF MEASUREMENT AT WHICH MATTER STOPS MOVING? ................ AND WHAT ELSE STOPS!

Science passed nature's "flat illusion stage" with Einstein. WHAT CRITICAL BASIC FUNDAMENTALS ARE KEEPING SCIENCE IN DELUSION, FAILURE TO IDENTIFY THE CURVATURE OF NATURAL LAW?

When we state that the quantity C is the radius of the curvature of natural law, we mean simply that if a differential of energy equal to this quantity exists between the observer and the point which he is observing, the natural laws will be suspended. If the energy differential is in excess of the quantity C, the laws will appear to operate in reverse at that point.

While we have repeatedly referred to the quantity C as an energy differential, we have heretofore considered it only in terms of kinetic energy. Some may believe that it can be reached only when there is a rate of increase or decrease in the degree of spatial separation between the reference points, equal to 3x10(10) centimeters per second, or in simpler terms, a velocity equal to that of light. It is necessary therefore to point out the fact that an energy differential does not necessarily manifest itself as a velocity. It can also exist as a frequency. Our present laws of physics state that the energy level upon which an electron, a photon, or other particle exists is proportionate to its frequency. The mathematical rule is E equals Fh, where E is the energy, F is the frequency and h is a factor called Planck's constant.

We can now see that a frequency differential which by the above formula is equal to 9x10(20) ergs per gram also represents the quantity C. When such a frequency differential exists between the observer and the point which he is observing, we again find that the natural laws at the observed point reach zero value with respect to the observer. If the frequency differential exceeds this value, the action of the laws will become negative.

Keeping in mind "that the 'increasing mass' of an accelerating object is only the measure of the kinetic energy differential which exists between the specified points of measurement - in this case, between the object and the observer. The mass approaches infinity only as the energy level approaches that of the accelerating force.  In the case of the quantity C, usually called the velocity of light, the differential is equal to 3 x 10(10) centimeters per second, or if we convert this velocity to its equivalent energy we would have 9 x 10(20) ergs per gram of mass - which is exactly equal to the total energy inherent in any body of matter (per gram).

Continued "lagging & dragging" of the fundamental basics of E=MC^2 presented to the scientific world in 1905 will result in catastrophe.
 
For civilization to survive, science and the energy equation must evolve.
 
The stagnation of the promise of E=MC^2 began in the 1950's, with fundamental segments of research progress and experimentation totally silenced.
 
NO PERSON WITH COMMON SENSE, THAT GIVES  THE E=MC^2 EQUATION A LITTLE THOUGHT, WOULD CONTINUE TO BELIEVE THE FAIRY TALE THAT:
 
  • ONLY THROUGH THE NUCLEAR, DEADLY RADIATION PROCESS, MATTER & ENERGY CAN BE MANIPULATED AT THE E=MC^2 LEVEL.
  • WHILE IGNORING THE POSSIBILITIES OF GRAVITY, SPACE & TIME, INTERDEPENDENCE AND INTERACTION THROUGH "FIELD" ENERGY DIFFERENTIALS.
See "StarSteps", written in language that both an adult and a four year old can comprehend.
 
The absolute avoidance of taking measurements when energy differentials between two reference points approaches, equals, and exceeds the constant C (velocity of light), aka "the radius of curvature of all natural law", will be detrimental. 
 
Whenever measurements between two reference points, (i.e., a summation of space, time, mass, matter, inertia, gravity & energy, through micro and/or macro dimensions), approaches, reaches and exceeds the VC differential, the common sense version of E=MC^2, with its UNLIMITED PROMISE appears.   You will note that this differential is precisely when the anomalies (measurements between reference points) in science, protrude their glaring bright neck of common sense, with a little bit of wisdom, and approach to understanding.)
 
Every now and then, to keep us amused, science news presents us with these little warped discrepancies in our warped understanding of science basics. It never goes any further.

As World Turns It Drags Time And Space With It

An international team of NASA and university researchers has found the first direct evidence the Earth is dragging space and time around itself as it rotates.

When Freedom changes to Freedumb, the death throes of a civilization begin.

The initial signs were the massive, exponential growth of starvation and poverty , in light...err in spite of ...modern science possibilities. (starvation and poverty - aka - known today as terrorism)

These were spawned by the headlong rush away from Wisdom and Understanding of LIFE Survival Requirements. (survival requirements, found more often than not, in properly interpreted, core, spiritual and metaphysical doctrines which today can astonishingly be verified by scientific fact - example, Max Planck's Law of Radiation)

Now in mature progress are global warming and resource wars. The climax is fast approaching.

In the 'fun & games' of these trivia, anal retentive, retarded times, where 'packaging', and 'profit' reign supreme, while quality, and life itself, run a distant last in priorities, let us bet on what hits us first: Nuclear holocaust or tripping the threshold balance on global warming.

It is 100% guaranteed. (repeat: For civilization to survive, science and the energy equation must evolve...........no matter how much the flag freakers desire economic slavery & serfdom, with its price gouging highlights, misleading advertisements now threatening medical and food safety, and absolute control of your 'reality' beliefs, focus and news........ might I add, "still no comrehende of the psychological Milgram Experiment with its awesome potential?")

When Things Fall Apart - Hawking: My Black Hole Model Wrong - LONDON, July 16, 2004

 Understanding Magic - Predicting Scientific Laws Without Standard Learning
Cruising Understanding Lane: Atoms to Galaxy Formation

 

INTRODUCTION

 

The discussions presented are offered in the hope that they may assist all kids, and all adult kids at heart, still open

to curiosity, enthusiasm, zest, including the layman, the beginning student, and perhaps even a few of the more

advanced students of cosmology - in the achievement of an approach to science which is based upon simple

understanding rather than upon the complex and often confusing lattice-work of abstract mathematics which

has been erected about it.

 

While it is true that the language of mathematics is a universal language, it is, nevertheless, a language which must

be learned before it can be used or understood.

 

There are many persons in the world today, besides our children, who would like to acquire a greater knowledge

and understanding of the nature of the universe about them, but who have never had the opportunity to familiarize

themselves with the language of mathematics to a degree that would permit them to follow the paths through which

this knowledge is customarily presented.

 

It was principally for these reasons that this article is being written. Consequently, simple discussion, explanation

and analogy will be substituted for mathematics, to the greatest possible degree. We will risk, thereby, the scorn of

the mathematician, but may gain the gratitude and the comprehension of the non-math student.

 

Much of the material presented in these pages was taken from a series of lectures originally written and published

some years ago, but whose basic concepts are only now beginning to be accepted by cosmologists.

Since the study of cosmology embraces the microcosm as well as the macrocosm, we will begin this text with a

consideration of the most minute and fundamental particles of nature, insofar as they are known and understood

today. We will examine the forces which bind these particles together, but which may also under certain

circumstances, hurl them violently apart.

 

THE BUILDING BLOCKS

 

We will begin our examination of the universe by considering, briefly, the nature of four of its most minute and

fundamental entities: the neutron, the proton, the electron and the photon (or quantum of energy). No man has

been ever seen any of the four. So minute are they, that the most powerful microscope every made could not begin

to resolve them. Yet all of the matter in the universe is composed of the first three, and all of the changes which

occur in that universe come about as a result of the action of the fourth.

 

In order to achieve the basic understanding of the nature and properties of the electron, the proton and the neutron,

we will arbitrarily create or assume a fourth particle which we will call the ‘nullatron’ (editor's note: subsequently

discovered 10 years later, the neutrino). We will postulate that this particle has no charge, possesses no energy, and

consequently is not associated with any type of field. In fact we will assume that this particle has no property other

than that of inertial mass, or resistance to acceleration. We hasten to confess that, so far as we know, no evidence

of the existence of such a particle is available in our present technology and, because of its dearth of properties, its

existence would be exceedingly difficult to demonstrate by any presently know method. Nevertheless, the

assumption of such a particle offers an ideal starting point in our examination of the nature of matter, and so we will

assume the particle, if only to serve as an aid to understanding.

 

If, to the nullatron, we add a photon or, as it is more usually known, a quantum of energy, in such a way that the

energy is entirely contained within the particle, we will find that the particle has acquired several additional

properties. In adding the quantum of energy, we have supplied the particle with both a positive and a negative

charge. (See definition of energy in StarSteps, Fuel 2000.) Since these charges are united within the particle, there

will be no exterior electrical field, but a gravitational field will be created. This particle, which now exhibits the

properties of inertial and gravitational mass, has been named the neutron. Its existence was demonstrated in 1932

by Sir James Chadwick, an English Physicist.

 

If we could find a means of dividing the quantum of energy into its two component parts, and of drawing the

negative charge out of the body of the neutron, so that the charge formed a shell of force around the core, we could

convert the neutron into the simplest of all atoms, the atom of the element which we call Hydrogen. The simple

particle has now become a rather complex mechanism. The central core which retains almost all of the mass, and

from which the gravitational field still emanates, now has a positive electrical charge, and is know as a proton. The

shell of force, which consists entirely of the negative portion of the quantum of energy is known as an electron.

In most of our textbooks today, the electron is represented as a small particle in a precise orbit about the proton in

much the same manner as the earth orbits the sun. While this analogy works fairly well as long as we confine our

study to the field of chemistry, if we attempt to explain all of the observed properties of matter by nuclear

hypothesis, we will find that we require a somewhat more complex analogy.

 

Let us, therefore, attempt to create such an analogy, remembering that, like the nullatron, it is created only as a tool

of understanding. We will begin with the usual concept: a small particle in a simple orbit around the proton. We

will then assume that the electron is extended or ‘stretched out’ along the path of its orbit until it becomes a ring of

charge occupying, simultaneously, all parts of its orbit, but still having the same rotational, or angular velocity. If

we now rotate the ring upon an axis which passes through the proton and two opposite points in the ring, we will

create a sphere of charge about the proton which is uniform in density but characterized by precise angular

velocities about each of the two axes. While the assumption of these angular velocities in not particularly important

in our first approach to the nature of matter, they do become necessary to the explanation of some of the more

complex phenomena such as crystallization in solids, diffraction of light, etc.

 

Having examined the atom from inside outward, as it were, by theoretical creation, we should now be better

prepared to examine it from the outside inward, as we shall presently proceed to do.

 

We must remember that the atom which we have created is the simplest of all the atom family. It is known as 1H1

or ‘normal’ hydrogen.

 

If we add a neutron to the proton which is at the center of this atom, we create a particle called 1H2 or deuterium.

This atom is still hydrogen and has chemical properties identical with those of 1H1. The mass and weight,

however, are now twice as great. For this reason, 1H2 is frequently referred to as heavy hydrogen.

If we add a second neutron to the nucleus we will have 1H3 or tritium. It is still chemically identical with 1H1 but

has three times the mass. It is sometimes known as heavy, heavy, hydrogen.

 

It becomes apparent that the chemical properties of the element are determined by the number of electrons in the

shell and the number of protons in the core.

 

In the three types of atom which we have considered, each contained one electron and one proton, and all are

therefore considered to be atoms of the same element. They are known as Isotopes of the element.

If we attempt to add a third neutron to the nucleus, we will find that the field condition within the atom is now such

that a considerable amount of force will be required, and that the act of forcing the neutron into place will cause its

quantum of energy to divide spontaneously. The negative charge will be emitted from the neutron, and as a second

electron, will join the first in the shell of force surrounding the atom The remaining portion is now positively

charged and so becomes a proton.

 

The atom now contains two electrons, two protons and two neutrons. We have created an atom of the second

element in the series called Helium. Its name was taken from the Greek word ‘helios” (The Sun) because it was

discovered by a spectrographic analysis of the sun’s atmosphere a quarter of a century before it was discovered on

earth.

 

In symbolic terminology, this atom is described as 2HE4. The letters represent the name of the element, the

number preceding the letters gives the number or orbital electrons, and the number following the letters gives the

total number of protons and neutrons contained in the nucleus.

 

If we consider (theoretically) to build up our atom by the addition of neutrons, we will find that, in each step of the

process, we can create a certain number of isotopes. That is, we can add a certain number of neutrons without

changing anything but the mass of the atom. If we exceed this number, the force required to insert the next neutron

will cause it to emit the negative portion of its charge, becoming a proton and adding another electron to the shell.

Thus the next higher element in the atomic scale is formed. If we continue this process long enough, we will

eventually have created atoms of all the known elements, and all of their possible isotopes.

In building the next element after helium, that is: lithium, we would have to insert two neutrons simultaneously,

since there is no known combination of five nuclear particles which will remain together for any appreciable time.

 

We have described this addition of neutrons to the nucleus as though it were a simple process. Therefore, lest the

reader be misled we will hasten to state that we have no means in our present technology of forcing a consecutive

series of neutrons into the nucleus of a single atom, and that if we did have such a means, we would find that

remarkable changes in energy level would occur during some stages of the building process, resulting in the

emission of considerable electro-magnetic radiation, and the loss of a small part of the mass of the atom, even

though all of its particles were still present. There are, however, some transmutations of elements which we can,

and do, achieve by the simple addition of neutrons. The conversion of Uranium 238 to Plutonium is one example.

 

It should also, perhaps, be mentioned at this point, that the number of electrons which will occupy a single shell of

force is limited. If, after a shell containing this number of electrons has been formed, more electrons are emitted

from particles within the nucleus, they will not be absorbed by the shell but will pass through it, to form a second

shell outside the first, and so on.

 

Let us now expand our scale of observation for a moment so that we may consider a drop of ordinary water. If we

divide the drop into two equal parts, we will find that each of the two parts retains all of the properties which were

possessed by the original drop. Each of the parts is still water. We might repeat this division many times without

changing anything except the size of the parts, but eventually we would reach a particle which could not be further

divided without producing a complete change in its properties. This particle is called a molecule and is defined as

being the smallest particle of a complex substance or 'compound' which can exist as that compound.

 

A molecule is composed of two or more atoms which have come together in such a way that some of the electrons

in the outer shells have expanded their orbit so as to create a new shell which encloses all of the atoms. The several

atoms will then behave to some extent as though they were one.

 

If we divide the molecule of water, we find that it is composed of two atoms of our simplest element, hydrogen, and

one atom of a somewhat more complex element called oxygen.

 

The word 'atom', as related to particles of matter, originated in the philosophy of ancient Greece. In the fifth

century B.C., the Greek philosophers, Democritus and Leucippus, set forth the postulate that all substances are built

up of small units which are not capable of further division. They named these particles Atoms, a word meaning

indivisible.

 

In one of the peculiarities of the progress of human knowledge that, although this theory was enunciated more than

2,000 years ago, it is only within recent years that we have come to accept fully the first portion of this concept, and

at the same time we have worked vigorously and successfully to disprove the latter portion. We have demonstrated

that the atom is not an indivisible particle, but is actually a complex mechanism made up of a number of

cooperating parts.

 

The parts are exceedingly small, even in comparison to the size of an atom. If the orbit of an atom were drawn on

an eight by eleven sheet of paper, and the electrons, neutrons, and protons where drawn to true scale, they would be

invisible except under the most powerful microscope. The volume occupied by the nucleons (nuclear particles) is

considered to be about one million millionth of the total volume of the atom.

 

We can see that the atom is far from being the solid, indivisible particle which the Greek philosophers imagined.

Indeed, the atom is practically all space! It is, however, a space which is filled with powerful fields, and it is the

operation of these fields that makes the atom behave as though it were a solid, indestructible particle.

 

TWO HYDROGEN ATOMS IN SPACE

Having examined the individual atom and learned of its characteristics, let us now consider the effect which atoms

will have upon each other, when several are in the same vicinity.

 

We will picture two hydrogen atoms, side by side, but completely alone in space. We will postulate that the atoms

are not in motion with respect to each other, and that no fields or other influences are present except those which

are produced by the atoms themselves. We will assume that the two atoms are separated by a distance of two

diameters. That is: the distance between the orbits of the electrons is equal to twice the diameter of the orbit.

We have learned that the electron consists entirely of a negative charge and that ‘like charges tend to repel each

other’. Therefore, a force field will be set up which will tend to ‘push’ the atoms farther apart. We also know,

however, that the proton has a gravitational mass, and consequently, a gravitational field will be created which will

tend to pull the atoms closer together.

 

The mass of the proton is more than 1800 times that of the electron, and the gravitational field is considerably more

powerful, if measured at the same distance. However, in the case of the two atoms, the effective distance for the

gravitational field must be measured between the protons, while the electrical field must be measured between the

closest points of the two orbits. (The full charge of the electron must be considered to act simultaneously in all parts

of the orbit.)

 

At this point we must recall the rule first propounded by Sir Isaac Newton, that the amount of force created by a

field is in proportion to the inverse square of the distance separating the two points between which the force acts.

In our example, the two atoms are separated by a distance equal to twice their diameter. If we assume that each

atom has the same diameter, and if we choose the radius of the atom as a unit of measurement, we find that the

protons are separated by a distance equal to 6 radii; while the shells are only 4 radii apart. The distance ratio

therefore is 6 to 4.

 

We will further assume that at this point, the attraction of the gravitational field is greater than the repulsion of the

electrical field. The two atoms will, therefore, begin to approach each other, or to ‘fall together’. When the shells

have reached a distance of one diameter, or two radii, we find that the protons are now four radii apart, or that there

is now a distance ratio of 4 to 2. If the atoms continue to approach until the shells are 1 radius apart, the distance

between the protons will be three radii, or a ratio of 3 to 1, etc.

 

We can readily see that, whatever the relative strength of the two fields to begin with, there will be a distance at

which the attraction of the gravitational field will be exactly balanced by the repulsion of the electrical field. We

will call this the ‘critical distance’. We cannot call it the stable distance because the atoms would not actually stop

at this point. In falling together, the atoms would have acquired momentum, and this momentum would carry them

inward to a point where the repulsion was greater than the attraction. Then the atoms would ‘bounce’ apart and

because of acquired momentum, would again pass the critical distance in their outward movement. Since the atom

may be considered as a perfectly elastic body, and since no friction is involved, this bouncing back and forth, or

oscillation, as it is usually called, can and does continue indefinitely, each atom constantly seeking it critical

distance, but always being carried beyond it by the momentum of its search.

 

Even if it were possible to place two atoms exactly at their critical distance without imparting any momentum to

them, they would not remain long in that position because there is a factor which almost constantly changes the

critical distance between atoms. This factor is known as the photon or quantum of energy. The word photon is

derived from the Greek word “photos’ meaning light. It was chosen because light was the first form of energy

which was shown to be composed of definite units.

 

As our understanding of nature progressed, however, it became apparent that what we call ‘light’ is simply a form

of electromagnetic radiation.

 

Electromagnetic radiation may be defined as ‘Primary energy’, since all of the changes which occur in matter come

about, either as a direct or as a secondary effect of its action.

 

This primary energy is divisible into very small, but definite units or particles which have been given the name of

‘quanta’ in the plural, or quantum, in the singular.

 

The quantum is considered to be an indivisible particle of energy, but one whose energy level is determined by its

individual frequency.

 

The known spectrum of electromagnetic radiation covers a tremendous range of frequencies, from long radio waves

on the low end, to high energy cosmic rays, on the other.

 

Near the center of this spectrum is a narrow band of frequencies, covering about one octave, which we call ‘visible

light’ because radiation of these frequencies can be perceived by the human eye. We divide this band of frequencies

into seven narrower band which we call colors. Starting from the highest frequency and going down, we name these

colors violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange and red. All of the hues, shades, and tints of color which the

human eye can perceive are created by some combination of these seven frequencies.

 

It was the quantum, or individual particle of radiation in this particular portion of the frequency spectrum to which

the term photon was originally applied. The usage of the term, however, has since been expanded to include a

considerably wider band of frequency.

 

Just below the red of visible light is another, and somewhat wider band which we call infrared. Except for the fact

that its frequency is below the range of the human eye, infrared has all of the characteristics of visible light, plus the

characteristic that its photons are readily absorbed by the electronic shell of force about an atom.

Each different type of atom, of course, has its own characteristic set of frequencies, and only photons in matching

frequency bands will be absorbed. However, most of the photons whose frequency lies within the infrared portion

of the spectrum are readily accepted by almost all types of atoms. It is, therefore, with these infrared photons that

we are particularly concerned at the moment.

 

Let us now return for a time to our two hydrogen atoms. We will assume that a proton of infrared radiation, emitted

perhaps millions of years before from as star millions of light years away in space, strikes the shell of force about

one of our two atoms. If the photon is absorbed, the additional energy thus gained, will cause the shell of force to

expand. The expansion of the electronic orbit places the electrons closer together than they were before, while the

distance between the protons remains the same. If the two atoms had been poised exactly at the critical distance

prior to the absorption of the photon, we would now find that a net repulsion existed, and the two atoms would

‘bounce’ apart seeking the new point of stability, or critical distance where the two fields would again be in

balance.

 

The shell of the atom does not, however, retain these photons indefinitely, but is constantly emitting them. With

each emission, of course, the shell becomes one size smaller.

 

The mean time between successive emissions is determined by two factors, first the nature of the particular atom,

and second by the number of photons which are present in the electronic shell. Each time the shell receives a

photon its diameter increases by a precise amount, and with each emission it shrinks by the same amount.

 

If the number of photons received within a given time, is greater than the number emitted, the two atoms will

constantly tend to move farther apart. If the number emitted is greater, the atoms will tend to move closer together.

If we now learn that the photon of infrared radiation is also know as the unit of radiant heat, we immediately find

that we are able to predict one of the fundamental rules of nature, which is that the addition of heat energy to a body

of matter will tend to cause that matter to occupy a larger volume of space, or in simple words to expand. The loss

of heat energy from a body of matter will tend to cause that matter to occupy less space, or to contract. We can

make this prediction confidently, even though we may never have heard of this rule or observed it in operation.

A number of other rules of nature may also be predicted through the consideration of the foregoing discussion.

Some of these will be mentioned later on in this text.

 

ESCAPE VELOCITY

Let us now assume that each of our two atoms receive a number of photons simultaneously. The orbits of the

electrons, in springing outward, would approach very near to each other, and thus produce a very strong repulsion

between the atoms. This repulsion would cause an outward movement of the atoms, with a very high rate of

acceleration. By the time they had reached their new critical distance, their velocity might be so great that they

would continue to move apart indefinitely. As soon as they had passed the critical distance, of course, the repulsion

would become an attraction, and the outward motion of the atoms would begin to slow down. As they moved apart,

however, because of the increasing distance between the protons, the attraction would also become constantly

smaller.

 

We can see that if the atoms had achieved a sufficiently high original velocity, the attraction would diminish at a

greater rate than the velocity, so that there would always be some outward velocity remaining. The minimum

velocity at which this continuous expansion would occur, is known as the ‘escape velocity’ of the atom.

We have often heard the term, escape velocity, used in connection with the firing of rockets to the moon or to some

planet. In this case it is defined as the minimum original velocity which must be imparted to a missile if it is to

escape completely, from the gravitational field of the earth. The principle is exactly the same. The gravitational

field of the earth exerts a retarding force upon the missile, which constantly slows its outward motion. This

retarding force, however, diminishes steadily as the distance from the earth increases, so that if the original velocity

is sufficiently high, the retarding force will diminish more rapidly than the velocity, and the missile will continue on

and on until it comes into the influence of some other gravitational field and begins to accelerate in that direction.

The velocity of escape from the earth is usually given as being between 7 and 9 miles per second depending upon

whether the missile is being fired toward the moon or away from it: whether it is being fired in the direction of the

earth’s rotation or in the opposite direction: the position of the sun, whose gravitational field produces its own

effect upon the trajectory of the missile; and several other minor factors.

 

In the case of the atom, the velocity of escape depends upon the type and mass of the atom, its temperature, the

number and position of other atoms present, etc. It is, however, always a precise velocity for any given type of atom

under any given set of conditions.

 

STATISTICAL ACTION

So far, in our examination of the nature of matter, our entire universe has consisted of two lonely hydrogen atoms.

By the examination of these two atoms, however, we have learned something of the basic forces which actuate all

atoms, whatever their size or number.

 

As long as we are dealing with only two interacting atoms, we are observing absolute forces and specific actions

which result therefrom. If we add a large number of other atoms to our original two; as we must if we are to build

matter from our atoms, all that we can observe is the statistical result of a large number of forces and actions, each

of which is absolute in itself, but contributes only minutely to the resultant action of the whole.

Almost all of our present laws of physics are based upon the observation of the statistical results of a very large

number of individual atomic or molecular actions. If we do not understand the individual forces and actions, we

have no means of understanding the statistical result of many actions, and so can learn physics only by

memorizing blindly the observed results of certain conditions. It is for this reason that we have spent so much

time in observing our two atom universe, but we should now be ready to furnish our lonely atoms with some

companions.

 

If we examine the illustrations to follow at the conclusion of this brief, we will see that the two atoms with which

we have become so familiar, are now surrounded by many other similar atoms. We will assume that our two friends

have just absorbed some photons of energy, and are ‘bouncing’ apart. We can see that before they have gone very

far, each of them will intrude upon the critical distance of some other atom, and will bounce from that atom in a

direction which will be determined by the angle at which the impact occurred. The atom which was ‘struck’ would,

of course, acquire some of the momentum of the striking atom, and its own path and velocity would be altered

accordingly. We could create much the same effect of we were to place a large number of billiard balls upon a

billiard table, and rush about it with a cue stick, rapidly striking various balls at random, and in different directions.

The balls struck would acquire velocity (kinetic energy), some of which would be transmitted to the first ball which

it struck. If we moved fast enough, we would soon have all of the balls in constant motion.

 

The air friction, the rolling friction on the table, and the fact that the balls are not perfectly elastic, would all tend to

slow the balls down. Therefore, if we assume that our strokes are all of uniform amplitude, the average speed of the

balls would be proportionate to the number of strokes which we delivered in a given unit of time.

In the case of the atoms, the cue strokes are represented by the photons which they absorb. There is no friction, and

the atoms can be considered as being perfectly elastic bodies, but the slowing effect is still present because of the

fact that the atoms constantly emit photons as well as absorb them.

 

By comparison with our billiard table experiment, we can see that the average velocity of the atoms will be

proportionate to the total number of photons per unit volume, which are in circulation at any given moment.

If two or more atoms have combined to form a molecule, the outer shell of electrons which now encloses all of the

atoms, absorbs the photons and produces an effect much the same as in the case of individual atoms.

There are, of course, other means by which the velocity of atoms or molecules may be increased. These means will

be considered in the following chapter.

 

TEMPERATURE AND HEAT

The term “temperature’ and ‘heat’ are often confused in the mind of the beginning student. In most text books on

physics the statement is made that the ‘temperature’ of a body of matter is the measure of the rate of motion of its

particles. In simple words, a body of matter is said to be at a high temperature when the atoms or molecules which

compose that body are moving at high velocities, and therefore coming into frequent and violent collision with their

neighbors. The temperature is said to be low when the particles are moving at low velocities and the collisions are

relatively gentle. If the motion should cease entirely, the matter would be said to be at the temperature of absolute

zero.

 

Since all atoms and molecules emit photons so long as any are contained within their electronic orbits, and since the

emission or absorption of a single photon will cause oscillation which will ultimately be transmitted to all parts of

the matter, it seems obvious that a body of matter can never reach a true state of absolute zero unless all emittable

photons have been lost from the body, and no more are being received from any other source. But as all bodies of

matter at temperatures above absolute zero are constantly emitting photons and since these photons travel endlessly

through space until they are absorbed by matter, it seems unlikely that any appreciable body of matter has ever

reached a true state of absolute zero, although the condition has been approached quite closely in laboratory

experiments.

 

Each atom emits photons at a rate that is proportionate to the total number of photons which it contains. This ratio is

the same for all atoms of a given element, but varies with each different type of atom or molecule.

Suppose that we have an atom of hydrogen, and an atom of mercury. Let us assume that the atom of hydrogen emits

one photon per second for each ten photons contained in its electron shell. The atom of mercury, on the other hand,

emits one photon per second for each two photons contained. We can see that if we added one hundred photons to

an atom of mercury, we would increase its emission rate by 50 photons per second, but if we added one hundred

photons to an atom of hydrogen we would raise its emission rate by only ten photons per second.

 

We have added exactly the same amount of heat energy to each atom but have raised the emission rate of the

mercury atom five times as much as that of hydrogen atom. Since the temperature of a body of matter is

proportionate to the emission rate of its atoms, by adding the same amount of heat to each, we will raise the

temperature of the mercury much more than that of the hydrogen.

 

The total kinetic energy possessed by the particles of a body of matter, is known as the active heat of the body,

while the total number of photons still contained within the electron shells of the particles is known as the latent

heat of the body. The ratio between the active heat and the total heat energy of a body of matter is know as the

‘Specific’ heat of the material of which the body is composed.

 

The figures which we have given for the emission ratio between hydrogen and mercury are not, of course the

correct ones. To give precise figures for these two elements we would have to deal in micro- seconds instead of

seconds, and employ figures with a number of decimal places. We have used simple figures only for the purpose for

forming mental pictures of what goes on in, and between, the atoms, in order to gain a better understanding of those

often confused terms, ‘temperature’ and ‘heat’.

 

The specific heat of each element is different, and also changes when the elements join to form compounds. That is,

when atoms join to form molecules, a change occurs in the amount of heat which must be added in order to raise

the temperature to a given degree.

 

Every element and every compound, however, has a precise ratio of specific heat. Many of these can be found in

any handbook on physics or chemistry. The specific heat of water (h20) has been chosen as the standard or

reference point. Its specific heat is, therefore, said to be 1.000. Since the specific heat of water is high compared to

most other compounds or elements, the values of the others are shown as decimal fractions of one.

As we mentioned at the end of the last chapter, the emission or absorption of photons is not the only means of

changing the velocity, and therefore the temperature, of atoms or molecules. Obviously, any application of kinetic

energy to the particles will have the same effect.

 

Let us imagine that a blacksmith is striking his anvil with a hammer. As the face of the hammer comes in contact

with the face of the anvil, the outer layer of particles on the face of the hammer, because of their momentum, will

intrude upon the critical distance of the outer layer of particles on the face of the anvil. When the repulsion caused

by this intrusion tends to halt the forward motion of the first layer of particles, the second layer, which has equal

momentum, will intrude upon the critical distance of the first, the third layer will intrude upon the second, and so on

throughout all of the trillions of layers of particles in the hammer. A compression wave will be produced which will

race back and forth through both the hammer and the anvil until the linear kinetic energy of the hammer has been

converted to a proportionate increase in the random velocity of the particles of both masses. We can see that the

temperature of the masses would be increased by an amount which is directly proportional to the momentum of the

hammer.

 

If instead of striking the anvil, we were to rub the face of the hammer against the anvil the same effect would be

created. Since the surfaces are not perfectly smooth, projections from one surface would interlock with projections

from the other. Large numbers of particles would be forced from their normal positions. Some of these would snap

back into place when the opposing projection has passed, and some would be torn away entirely. In either case

however, the temperature of the mass would be increased by an amount which was proportionate to the force

applied to the hammer, and the distance which it was moved.

 

The striking of the anvil would be described as ‘work by impact’ while the rubbing action would be described as

‘work by friction’.

 

SOLIDS, LIQUIDS AND GASES

Before going farther in our study of the phenomenon which we call heat, it might be well to consider briefly, the

three states of matter which result from the various degrees of heat energy or temperature which the matter may

possess at a given time.

 

Let us consider first, a quantity, or block of atoms or molecules in which the total number of photons contained is

small. The orbits of the electrons, and therefore the size of the atom is also small. The oscillation or ‘bouncing’ of

each atom will continue, but the path of each bounce will be small because the atoms or molecules are quite close

together, and their critical distance is small. Since none of the particles reach escape velocity, each particle will

remain in the same relative position with respect to the others. The mass will retain its shape indefinitely, and a

considerable amount of outside force would have to be applied to cause the body to change in shape. This condition

is known as the solid state of matter.

 

If, to such a block of matter, we suddenly added a large quantity of energy in the form of photons, the orbits of the

atoms would spring outward, the velocity of their oscillation would increase tremendously, and soon every particle

would acquire a velocity greater than its escape velocity. The particles in the interior of the mass could not

immediately escape because they would still be bouncing about among their neighbors, but the field of each particle

would now be repelling all of its neighbors, and the mass would expand rapidly. The particles on the outside of the

mass would move outward indefinitely, leaving the next layer free to escape and so on. Matter in this condition is

known as ‘gas.’

 

Specifically, a gas is defined as being a body of matter in which all, or virtually all of its particles have velocities in

excess of the escape velocity for the particular conditions in which they exist.

 

We can readily see that a gas, if released in a vacuum, will expand indefinitely, and if released within a solid

container will expand until it is uniformly distributed throughout the volume of the container. Each atom or

molecule, upon colliding with another, will glance off in a new direction, and will continue in that direction until

another collision occurs.

 

The average, or ‘mean’ distance which a particle travels between such collisions is know as ‘the mean free path.’ In

a dense, or ‘compressed’ gas the mean free path would be a very tiny fraction of an inch, but in a very rarified gas,

it might be many feet.

 

The liquid state of matter is not, in the strictest sense of the word, a true state of matter at all because it is dependent

almost entirely upon exterior influences, such as the earth’s gravitational field, its atmospheric pressure, etc. If we

were to take a sample of almost any liquid to a remote point in space where there were no gravitational fields or

atmosphere to affect the sample we would find that, even though we maintained the temperature at the same level,

the liquid would have the characteristics either of a soft solid or of a gas.

 

A liquid can be defined as a body of matter whose particles have velocities either slightly below or slightly above

their natural escape velocity. Most oils or liquid metals, for instance, can be described as matter whose particle

velocities are so close to that of escape that the additional force applied by a gravitational field such as that of the

earth is sufficient to cause the particles to escape, or ‘flow’ in the direction of the force applied by the field. If such

matter were removed from the influence of exterior fields, and released in space, it would immediately assume the

shape of a sphere, which shape it would retain indefinitely so long as no exterior force were brought to bear. It

would, therefore have the characteristics of a very soft solid.

 

A glass of ordinary water, on the other hand, has the characteristics of a gas, which is prevented from expanding by

the pressure of the atmosphere around it.

 

We can demonstrate this if we take a glass of water which is at, say 100 degrees Fahrenheit, place it in a bell jar,

and suddenly remove the air from the jar. The water will immediately begin to boil quite briskly. If we maintain the

temperature of the water at 100 degrees and pump out the gas as it is formed, the glass will soon be empty,

demonstrating that its particles do have velocities above those necessary for escape. Actually, even though we do

not remove the air, molecules of the water will constantly be escaping from the surface in spite of the downward

bombardment of the air molecules, and the glass would eventually become empty. This, much slower process of

escape by the mingling of the molecules of a liquid with the molecules of a surrounding gas is known as

evaporation.

 

HEAT TRANSFER

In any standard text- book on physics, three methods of heat transfer are usually discussed. These three types of

heat movement are known as, conduction, convection, and radiation. Conduction is defined as being the transfer of

heat energy from particle to particle in a solid substance.

 

Convection refers to the transmission of heat, usually in a gas or liquid, where the heat is carried from one point to

another by the motion of the gas or liquid which contains it.

Radiation, of course refers to the transmission of heat by the emission of photons, or quanta of heat energy.

In order to gain a simple understanding of heat transfer from the nuclear standpoint, let us perform an imaginary

experiment, in which all three of these types of transfer.

 

We will clamp a bar of iron in a machinist’s vise, and to the upper end of the bar, we will apply the flame of an

oxy-hydrogen torch.

 

When two atoms of hydrogen combine with an atom of oxygen, a molecule of ordinary water is formed, but the

joining of the atoms causes a large number of the photons of energy contained in the atoms, to be emitted almost

instantaneously. The water which is formed, instead of appearing as a liquid, becomes a gas at a tremendously high

temperature. The gas is emitting large numbers of heat quanta, and also a few of the higher frequency photons

which we call light.

 

The heat quanta, striking and being absorbed by the atoms of iron in the bar, cause a great increase in the velocity

of their motion. The molecules of the gas, of course, have velocities far above that of escape, and as these

molecules strike the particles of iron, a large percentage of their kinetic energy is transmitted mechanically, just as

the motion was transmitted by the balls of our billiard table experiment. The energy which is transmitted from

particle to particle within the bar itself is known as conducted head.

 

Since the incandescent gas is moving from the point of combustion at the tip of the torch, to the surface of the iron,

its motion is carrying its supply of kinetic energy to the surface of the iron. This process is described as

‘convection’ because the heat is being ‘conveyed’ from one point to another by the motion of the gas which

contains it.

 

The photons of infrared energy which are emitted at the point of combustion, do not, of course, follow the flow of

gas, but radiate in all directions at the velocity of light until they strike and are absorbed by the iron, or some other

body of matter. This type of heat transfer is, therefore, known as ‘radiation.’

 

The iron bar, while it is receiving a very large flow of photons from the gas, it also, at the same time, emitting a

smaller number. We can demonstrate this by continuing to direct the flame upon the surface of the bar. As the

temperature of the iron rises, the frequency of the photons which it emits will also increase until finally some of the

photons will have frequencies in the lower part of the visible spectrum, and we say that the bar is becoming ‘red

hot.’ If we add still more heat, the frequency of the emitted photons will continue to increase and we will see that

the bar has become white hot.

 

The iron particles are now approaching their escape velocity. If we continue to add heat, we will soon find that the

force of the earth’s gravity will be sufficient to cause those particles, which are moving in the direction of its

attraction, to move beyond their normal range. The mass will begin to move, or ‘flow’ in the direction of the

gravitational attraction. When this occurs, we say that the iron has ‘melted.’

 

Having observed the transfer of heat from a gas to a solid, by heating the gas, let us see if we can raise the

temperature of a gas without adding any heat.

 

We will imagine a simple steel cylinder, closed on one end, and with a closely fitting piston in the other. Through a

small hole in the closed end we will insert the bulb of an ordinary mercury thermometer, sealing it so that no gas

can escape from the cylinder. If we allow this apparatus to rest quietly upon a table in our laboratory, and maintain

a constant air temperature in the room we will find that the air inside the cylinder, the air outside the cylinder, and

the material of the cylinder itself will soon reach the same temperature. If we now suddenly push the piston halfway

down in the cylinder, so that the gas within is compressed to half of its original volume, we will find that the

temperature of that gas has risen sharply. The total number of photons in circulation has not increased, but because

the volume has been reduced, more photons are in circulation per unit volume. This means, of course, that the walls

of the cylinder, which are in contact with the gas, will receive more photons, per unit area, than they were receiving

before the gas was compressed. The walls of the cylinder are, therefore receiving heat energy from the gas.

The total kinetic energy of the gas within the cylinder also remains the same, but because of the compression, the

mean free path of the particles is shortened. Collisions become more frequent and more violent. This increase of

oscillation rate is also transmitted to the walls of the cylinder.

 

Since the bulb of the mercury thermometer, which we inserted into the cylinder, is surrounded by the compressed

gas, a proportionate amount of the energy will be conducted to the mercury in the bulb, causing it to expand. By

observing the amount of expansion of the mercury, we can measure the rise in temperature caused by the

compression of the gas.

 

The extra heat absorbed by the walls of the cylinder will gradually be passed along to the air outside, until the gas

inside has reached its original temperature. It now, however, contains less heat than it had before. By compressing

the gas, we have literally ‘squeezed’ some of the heat out of it.

 

If we now draw the piston out to its original position, the gas will expand to fill its original volume. The mean free

path of the particles will be lengthened, the collisions, will be fewer, and the number of photons emitted, per unit

area will be smaller than the number which the gas received from the walls of the cylinder. In other words, its

temperature has gone down, and the gas is now taking back from the cylinder, the heat which it gave up when it

was compressed. A proportionate amount of heat will, of course, also be taken from the bulb of the thermometer,

causing the mercury to contract, and thus to indicate the lower temperature.

 

Almost all of the commercial and household refrigeration systems in use today are based upon the principle of

compressing a gas in one part of the system, dissipating the heat released at that point, and then allowing the gas to

expand in another part of the system, so that it will continuously take up heat from that part.

 

PRESSURE

In our experiment with the cylinder and the piston, we discovered that a considerable amount of force was required

to push the piston into the cylinder. Much more than that would be required to over come the friction between the

piston and the cylinder. We also noted that as long as the gas was compressed, a force continued to act upon the

piston, tending to push it back out to its original position. We can readily understand why this should be so. In fact,

even our brief consideration of the actions of gas particles has enabled us to predict that it would be true, even

before we performed the experiment.

 

When the surface of a solid is in contact with a gas, the particles of the gas because they are moving at random in

all directions, are constantly impacting, or beating upon the particles of the solid. The millions of tiny impacts

which occur each second, produce a constant thrust or force upon the surface of the solid. We call this force ‘the

pressure’ of the gas.

 

We can see, at once, that the amount of this pressure, upon a given area will be determined by three factors. First –

the number of particles which strike the given area in a given time. Second – the velocity of the striking particles.

Third – the mass of the striking particles. We can also see that the number of particles which will strike a given area

in a given time will be determined by the number of particles contained within a give volume of the gas, and upon

the rapidity with which they oscillate.

 

These facts bring out the close relationship which exists between temperature and pressure in a gas.

Stated as briefly as possible, the temperature is the measure of the total kinetic energy present, per unit volume,

while the pressure is the force which that kinetic energy exerts, per unit area, upon any restraining surface.

For example, the air which we breathe is a gas composed principally of two elements, oxygen and nitrogen. But for

two preventative factors, all of the earth’s atmosphere would long since have been diffused into space. The first

factor is the earth’s gravitational field, which constantly tends to draw all of the particles back to the surface. The

second is the fact that the particles at the outer edge have lower temperatures and therefore lower velocities than

those near the surface.

 

If we assume that we are at sea level, and that the temperature of the air is 0 degrees centigrade (32 degrees

Fahrenheit) the number of particles in each cubic inch of space will be about 400 quintillion. (400, million, million,

million.) The average velocity of the particles will be about 1,760 feet per second, or twenty miles per minute. This

velocity becomes even more remarkable when we realize that average distance which any of these particles can

travel before colliding with another is only about four millionths of an inch. This means that each particle

undergoes an average of more than five billion collisions per second. The kinetic energy of these collisions is

sufficient to produce a constant force of 14.7 pounds upon each square inch of surface which receives these

impacts. This is why we say that the air pressure at sea level is equal to 14.7 pounds per square inch.

We can readily see that the individual forces and masses of atomic or nuclear particles are exceedingly small when

compared to our usual standards of measurement. Most of the quantities with which we must deal in the study of

nuclear physics are so infinitesimal in comparison with our everyday standards, that it has been necessary to create

new and much smaller units of measure in order to deal readily with these minute quantities.

 

Since these standards of measure may readily be found in any test book, we have not dealt with them here. We have

considered the photon, the neutron, and the electron without determining their size or mass. We have discussed the

constant rapid motion of the atom without measuring the particles, the length and their mean free path, or the

frequency of collision (except for the one example, air, which we have just considered.) All of these quantities are

listed in handbooks, created for the engineer or the physicist who must obtain specific answers to specific problems.

In this text we are primarily concerned with bringing about a simple understanding of the significance of these

factors, and the conditions which cause them to exist.

 

The reader, who has perused these pages carefully and diligently, will already have achieved a degree of

understanding sufficient to enable him to predict most of the laws of thermodynamics, which fill hundreds of pages

in present day textbooks.

We will therefore take leave of our particles for a time in order to consider a few of the least understood factors of

nature, gravity, space and time.

The Theory is Complete, Simple Engineering Left

 

For those considering application and meeting pre-requirements to join, some realism.

 

CONTENTS:

  • Hydrogen Generation status
  • Field Propulsion status
  • Structure of Scientific Revolutions

 

Hydrogen Generation Status:

As indicated on the web site, hydrogen electrolysis generation from water and sunlight, producing ultra-pure hydrogen at output capacity far exceeding current trends, at negligible cost, is available. Engineering materials and safety design require completion for reliability, warranty and safety. No outlandish theories here. This was a concept noticed in the 40’s, jotted down and ignored in another unrelated field of endeavor. Few attempts to recreate, failed, as did mine – until Flieshman and Pons. The similarity and final ingredient was laid bare by the ‘cold fusion’ debacle. Chemistry, in its larger Gestalt Switch (perceptual extension role) in Electro-Chemistry, plays a much clearer role in understanding the nature of fields (‘fields’ as in StarSteps)…and catalysts in this process.

 

The predicate to the statement  ‘any more information revealed here …’, would not be favorable in the eyes of the reader. The amazement is the silence and non-recognition, thus far, from our highly vaunted science, of negligible cost, hydrogen production from water, availability.

NOTE ON WIDESPREAD APPLICATION: any hydrogen generation process that does not release oxygen in at least equivalent proportion, as that consumed when hydrogen is used in ICE or fuel cells – may be a critical mistake.

 

Field Propulsion Status:

StarSteps Theory is complete to commence field propulsion engineering, application and demonstration. Simple, yet multifaceted, high energy conversion, redirection, and control engineering facets, require completion for a prototype test, along with substantial and appropriate test equipment.

Main Point - THE LAWS DO NOT HOLD TRUE AT ENERGY DIFFERENTIALS APPROACHING, REACHING, EXCEEDING THE CONSTANT C (velocity of light energy differential).

 

This is a contemporary science perceptual error, as enormous and significant as “the earth is the center of the universe’, ‘the earth is flat’, limited perceptions of history. The utter simplicity of StarSteps, bars many from the ultra-depth comprehensiveness of its extended and integrated principles. The Radius of Curvature of All Natural Law is appropriately coined the Curve of Illusion as it precisely deals with the elements of vision and sight – ‘how will you see something faster than light?’ Other major tests and rigorous measurements of the validity, reliability of scientific theory fall prey, become blurred as matter is reduced to its fundamental ‘frequency of vibration’ Einstein microcosm concept, or extends into the macrocosm energy and spacial differentials, as space, time, mass, matter, energy, gravity commence integration with equivalent units, revealing total interdependence, shedding light on the Unified Field Theory, action at a distance, non-locality, simultaneity, complimentarity, big bang little bang, relativity/quantum paradox, while dispelling the fantasy of physical time-travel, yet revealing potential and possibilities far beyond our capacity even to imagine.

 

The incomplete online publication of StarSteps, provides sufficient data to grasp the errors of limited, isolated perception in contemporary science fundamentals with 100% confidence. In limited arenas, current science shines, the curvature err is negligible. At high energy, macro/micro levels, the errors, and convoluted theories become obvious.

 

Today’s world can no longer  operate on low energy status or concepts – be it energy consumption, transportation, economics, health, medical, sustainability.

FTL (faster than light) and gravitational fields, plus and minus, can no longer be kept under wraps.

 

 

 

Structure of Scientific Revolutions and Paradigm Changes:

Preliminary Brief of common influence variables – I cannot stress the Chaos/Order, Fractal, Gestalt phenomena sufficiently in the continuing “flat earth, round world” syndrome of changing world view perceptions. “EXTENDING THE VIEW” to see both the forest and the trees, the local and global, did not end when we took our noses off the ground and discovered the world was round.

 

Aside from fainthearted steps toward Synergies on increasingly higher scales at which the whole is greater than the sum of the parts, questioning the Second Law of Thermodynamics, revealing  entropy at the local, neg-entropy at a more global, general systems view, this same phenomena can be found generalized throughout the factors of Nature, as The Radius of Curvature of All Natural Law. The humble part is admitting the ‘sine wave’ concept was known in the distant past and symbolized by the Yin Yang Tai Chi symbol.

 

Note the strengths and weaknesses and common variables in the theories below, and how they influence perception. StarSteps clarifies and extends Einstein’s E=MC2 for enhanced extension of Gestalt’s figure/ground, Fractals’ scale invariant distribution, Chaos’s self-organizing structure, within a General Systems unifying holistic frame, uniting nature’s? and man-made conceptual form of the three scales of the cosmos – macrocosm, local/here/now, microcosm.

 

New Experiences of an Old Universe  http://www.ceptualinstitute.com/nuc/nuc_com004.htm

"Classical" Quantum Mechanics is a stochastic house.  Event probabilities occur with Hamiltonian symmetry. That is, events and organizations are modeled which have no regard for a preferred flow of Time, they work equally well either "forward" or "backward" in any sense of time flow that is our experience under Thermodynamics.  And here in rests the formidible problem.  QM physicists are quite happy with time-irrelevance.  The whole menagerie of sub-atomic particles has been discovered and verified using those equations, so why clutter things up when time seems to play no role?  But, these particles and relationships congeal into systems that behave with a strict temporal sequencing -- the thermodynamic and relativistic universe we know.  And, adding insult to injury, QM leap-frogs thermodynamics/relativity to say that spatial prioritization may be a chimera also -- that there are behavioral connections that bind events irrespective of distance ... on vast transluminal (faster than light) scales.  Events can be "simultaneous"   when classical relativity demands that they have no connection at all. This is the realm of Einstein-Podalsky-Rosen, of Josephson Junctions, of Bell's Inequality, of Aharanov-Bohm, of Alain Aspect, of Bohm & Hiley............... Fortunately, the "forest for the trees" phenomenon took affect in my effort, as I resolved to evaluate factors from a "dynamic behaviors" point of view (now generally called the "systems approach").   I used several assumptions.  The first being that all factors had to have a translation constant.  Whether "time" or "space" or "energy" or "mass" or "sequence" etc, there had to be a some common quality which enabled their mutual use in mathematical equations. 

 

 

“…distortions that wander across the perceptions.  The senses give the mind's eye a narrow, fragmented perspective of the truth...a brief, overwhelming burst of cascading facts that flood the awareness. There are simply too many details to consume accurately…”  Theories in Chaos.     At any given moment, the Universe is completely senseless. But viewed over a period of  TIME (or SCALE), it seems to reveal itself as a self-organizing structure, existing throughout time and space, having a purpose, trending in a certain direction.” Aldous Huxley (1894-1963) Fractal Wisdom

A REMEMBERANCE BY LEE SMOLIN  - one of the founders and most influential contributors to the study of complex systems. His best known was a general theory of self-organization, which he called, "self-organized criticality". His ideas and discoveries have had an influence over how people think about a broad range of phenomena, from physics to biology, neurosciences, cosmology, earth sciences, economics and beyond.  The most highly cited and influential physics papers of the last two decades presented a general mechanism by which systems which are out of thermal equilibrium may evolve to a fractal, or scale invariant, distribution. These distributions are characteristic of many non-equilibrium systems, but before their paper no one had understood why. This idea, and the methodology it spawned, has been applied to understand the patterns that form spontaneously in many different systems, including earthquakes, forest fires, traffic jams, economic markets, and biological phenomena ranging from natural selection to the distribution of species of trees in a forest. It has also been applied to astrophysical phenomena ranging from x ray busts to the distribution of galaxies in the universe.

 

http://www.enabling.org/ia/gestalt  SOCIETY FOR GESTALT THEORY AND ITS APPLICATIONS…….. Perception Is an Active Process . Gestalt psychologists studied the act of seeing as a dynamic process involving both the viewer and the viewed. When people look at a page, a picture, a computer screen, or the environment around them, they actively organize what they see. They resolve ambiguities, impose structure, and make connections.  The figure-ground principle captures the idea that the visual field is normally divided into two parts, figure and ground. The figure-ground principle is very much a part of our everyday experience. When people perceive a visual field, the patterns that emerge depend on the unique characteristics of the elements of the field and the relationships among the elements within the field.

Structure of Scientific Revolutions:

"The real test of a scientific theory is not whether it is 'true’ or whether it ‘works’ in specialized, isolated instances and frames of reference. 

 

The real test of a scientific theory is ‘IS IT MORE SIMPLE AND DOES IT GO FURTHER IN NEW SCIENTIFIC BREAKTHROUGHS, THAN ANY PREVIOUS THEORIES.  Is it more comprehensive, more understandable to a greater number of the population, including layman. Does it permit extrapolation, leading to new experiments or predictions, from the fundamental basics, to the furthermost edges of contemporary science and beyond.

 

Reviewing the structure of scientific revolutions, we find limited perceptual factors, limited definitiveness, boundary contours, have always played the controlling role in misguided beliefs. In the case of a correct scientific theory, the one perception may be embedded within the larger, more complex perception. When the better one is accepted, the converted scientist not only sees the truth of it, but often also the reason why the older view is wrong.

 

In particular, the role of perceptual blindness in science progress can be seen from Newton's "Principia" - the laws of motion and gravity that explain the movements of planets in the solar system, overturning the laws of motion proposed by Aristotle. No one questioned Newtonian physics for over 200 years, until an obscure German scientist named Albert Einstein realized that Newton's second law of motion did not hold at velocities near the speed of light. (a perception still obscured)

 

Einstein revised Newton's law. The result was the special theory of relativity, which changed forever the way physicists view space and time. It also the changed the world. In a mathematical footnote to special relativity, Einstein showed that mass and energy were equivalent, a result that led to the most famous equation of all: E=mc2 . It also led to the most famous explosion of all, the mushroom cloud that rose over the New Mexico desert on July 16, 1945, and launched the atomic age

 

Repeat:

“………………Newton's second law of motion did not hold at velocities near the speed of light. THE MOST UNFORGETABLE, AND UNRECOGNIZED PRINCIPLE OF NATURAL LAW AS IT APPLIES TO THE OTHER FACTORS OF NATURE AND PHYSICS…………….”

 

THE LAWS DO NOT HOLD TRUE AT ENERGY DIFFERENTIALS APPROACHING, REACHING, EXCEEDING THE CONSTANT C (velocity of light energy differential).

 

This was not the end of Science, but rather its beginning (contrary to the position of the entrenched scientific establishment).

The term certainly plays a major role in current events, and magnifies the ease of application, of Stanley's Milgram's "Study in Obedience Model".
Funding direction lies firmly in the grip of both these models, Cognitive Dissonance, and Obedience Model, in a MeOnlyNow behavior shaped Generation.
 
We play this game (above), as community (from small scale to worldwide), we lose.
Any ideas on turning the tide, i.e., the money tide, back to survival, human values, with a profit?
 
The balancing factor, math and science simplified for everyone, through expanding StarSteps fundamentals, continues to be ignored.
And the "S" factor, in a population, becomes ever more dangerous. (see prev ref or link http://fadingillusionviarealitycurve.blogspot.com/ )

The Energy Intensity is in Acceleration Mode:
From population and technology expansion and explosion - with sci & tech severely skewed in unsustainable narrow-mindedness
to resource depletion, global warming, ecological imbalance, earth's decreasing magnetic field
to the economic stranglehold by the few in cloud nine, upon, and gripping the multitude

Factors clouding the predictability issue - the hundred monkey syndrome,
and no reliable historic data (except from legends) on exponential variables.
As acceleration criteria (population base, knowledge base, tech base, human impact, etc.) enter exponential growth or geometric increase mode, causes and effects become blurred. 
 
One survival criteria stands out above all the rest. Energy Evolution/Revolution.  It now stands in the Red danger level of stagnation. Half Way Houses, (feeble renewable energy attempts) are failing miserably to meet current worldwide survival demand, much less potential future capacity needs.

Deep memory confirms "the time for clear skies" is now. Some of us would prefer not to become another questionable legend of the future, debating the origin of some rocks mixed with bits of plastic in space. 

 

Thanks for the invite.

 

Some positive signs of awareness are beginning to creep in. They will require significant boosts. The free media is censoring the most significant issues threatening survival. A strong, central, non-profit energy center that can demonstrate almost free solar hydrogen production and field propulsion with ties to energy secrecy and suppression, may provide a significant boost, but also play havoc on narrow, self-centered, cognitive dissonance. .........just the thought of the preventable poverty, deaths, starvation over the years that could have been avoided.............

 

 Perhaps a review of Cognitive Dissonance - Inst for Study of Power & Persuasion, and behavioral predictor models, may assist in the addition of a steering wheel for a safer journey.

  • Kerry's Call for Energy Independence December 26, 2003: This 30-second commercial is part of a new wave of advertising that began this week by Senator John Kerry of Massachusetts, who just infused his campaign with $6.4 million by borrowing against his Boston home. The spots will cost nearly $900,000 over about two weeks, campaign officials said. There are three in all. This one began running on Tuesday. ...........THE SCRIPT Mr. Kerry says: "For nearly 30 years, we've talked about reducing America's dependence on Mideast oil. And here we are today, more dependent on foreign oil than ever. It's time to make energy independence a national priority, and to put in place a plan that frees our nation from the grip of Mideast oil in the next 10 years. Because no child growing up in America today should ever have to go to war for oil. I'm John Kerry, and I approved this message." PRODUCER Riverfront Media/GMMB & SDD
  • Energy analyst Harry Braun http://www.braunforpresident.us/, "energy profoundly impacts the environment, the economy, and foreign policy" President Bush’s priorities of going to war with Iraq underscore that he and his top advisors do not understand the significance of the many "exponential icebergs" that threaten the human community far more than any potential threat from Iraq or Al-Qaeda. Indeed, given the exponential nature of the interrelated global energy and environmental problems, the U.S. and other countries should be focused on shifting from oil to hydrogen with wartime speed (i.e., within a 5 to 10-year period). Hydrogen is the key to this transition because is the only non-polluting "universal fuel" that can make the U.S. energy independent and power virtually every existing engine or appliance.
  • Scientists continue to say "a quest for clean energy must begin now" (New York Times, November 1, 2002) "Meeting the world's rising energy needs without increasing global warming will require a research effort as ambitious as the Apollo project to put a man on the moon, a diverse group of scientists and engineers said in Science magazine today.

Added not: For over 50 years we have had in possession information how to achieve NASA's recent 'Breakthrough Propulsion Physics' program (which has lost funding), as all such programs have since Tesla.

...................................................

  "Gravity and 'levity' are not properties of specific materials but are CONDITIONS under which all matter may come." StarSteps

"If we exchange our postulate of linear laws and a "curved space"  for a concept which incorporates the curvature of natural law, we find that we have not thereby destroyed or invalidated any of our present mathematics, but we have achieved a position from which the operation of the natural laws can be pictured by the mind and can be charted upon paper. Thus we have taken a great stride in the direction of understanding" StarSteps

"Because of the manner in which our gravitational laws have been expressed, it has commonly been assumed that a gravitational force can manifest itself only as an attraction between two bodies of matter.  This is not, however, a necessity of thought, since there is no logical reason why it should necessarily be true:  In fact if it were true, it would set gravitational fields apart as the only force fields with which we are familiar which could not produce a repulsion, as well as an attraction between bodies of matter.  The reason for the assumption of a universal attraction is simply that all of our early and limited observations seemed to indicate that this was true.  However, as we have already  mentioned, any number of observations, if made on a sufficiently limited scale, will tend to indicate that the earth is flat, rather than spherical." StarSteps

http://www.fuel2000.net

For over 50 years, these basic principles have yet to be refuted by contemporary science and math.  In fact, contemporary science has done the opposite – as it slowly, very, very slowly, moves toward proving each and every concept.

 

Some considerations begging review and revision:

The conversion factor between matter and energy is precisely equal to the quantity C, velocity of light.

  • The quantity C is the pivotal point about which the natural laws become manifest
  • An energy differential equal to C between two reference points suspends the natural laws,
  • An energy differential in excess of C between two reference points, the laws appear to operate in reverse.

The natural laws are Relative: that is, the value of one can be altered between any two reference points by altering the value or relationship of the other. This last fact should always be borne in mind when we hear some dogmatist solemnly declare that we are forever barred from reaching the stars by the hopelessly great degree of separation which exists between us.

 
 
TIME: Many of the difficulties which we encounter in our attempt to understand the operation of the natural laws arise because of our severely restricted concept of the nature of time. Time follows the same curve of natural law which is apparent in the operation of all the basic factors of nature, and again the radius of that curvature is measured by the quantity C. Follow the example in StarSteps which puts us in a unique position from which we can, from a single point in time, observe ourselves occupying three rather widely separated positions in space.
 
SPACE: The degree of separation which exists between any two bodies is determined by the degree of curvature of the natural laws which exist between them. In making these observations, of course, we must remember that, since the natural laws are relative, the mass of the body itself influences the degree of curvature

 

More on E=MC2:  C, the velocity of light energy differential, is the maximum differential which can exist between two reference points in the factor which we call matter. We can also define it as the minimum differential which can exist between a reference point in matter, and one in energy. This is only true, however, when the reference point in matter is at the same energy level as the observer.

 

Our ordinary physical laws do not hold true when carried to an extent which permits the error to be measured, because they do not follow a straight line to infinity, but a curve of finite radii. In a timeless universe, this curve would be represented by a circle, but since the laws operate through time as well as space, the curve is more readily understood if depicted as a "sine wave". In this case the base line of the wave represents zero, and the portions above and below the line represent the positive and negative aspects of the law.  Thus we see that there are points and conditions in which the natural laws reach zero value with respect to a given reference point, and that beyond these points the laws become negative, reversing their effect with respect to the observer.

Aerospace Defense Research finds Free Energy and Antigravity Possible

After a 7 year research study, a senior staff aerospace defense
engineer, George J.
Bugh, concludes economically free energy and even antigravity are
possible.

A 7 year study of "free energy" devices, sometimes called "overunity"
devices, was
done to determine if any of these devices generated power by
transferring energy
from unknown sources and if so to determine where the energy was coming
from.

Included in the study is research of related devices with claimed
antigravity effects.
The study attempted to determine validity of claims, commonalities of
device
characteristics and to determine how these devices could work. The
results
conclude that some devices can generate economically free energy. This
study also
concludes there is a possible link between gravity and electromagnetism
that can be
exploited to generate antigravity or electrogravity effects.

The majority of the study was to come up with a theory to explain how
the devices
could work. In his research, Mr. Bugh used mostly classical
electrodynamics rather
than quantum electrodynamics. In Quantum theory, the wave like
characteristics of
matter are described using abstract probability waves. However, Bugh
proposes
that the wave characteristics of matter may also be described as coming
from a very
real sea of unseen electromagnetic standing waves among all matter.
There is a slide
show presentation at the website that explains the differences between
the Quantum
and Classical way of explaining particle interactions.

According to classical electrodynamics, all electrically charged
particles, like quarks
of protons and neutrons as well as orbital electrons for example, should
radiate
away energy from precessional and precessional plus orbital motion. If
in fact this really happens then all electrically charged particles can
be radiating away energy all the time.
However, all particles can also absorb just as much energy from all
other radiating particles. The absorbed energy applies electromagnetic
forces that naturally move all similar
type particles into harmonious precessional motions with all other
particles. This results in a vast sea of electromagnetic standing waves
among all matter. Even free particles
would move into precessional motions that are in sync with the
established sea of standing waves

There can be a hidden yet strong tendency towards harmony among all
matter in the universe due to these unseen standing waves and spin
interactions among all matter. This
tendency can overcome to a great extent the tendency towards chaos and
heat death of the universe. This tendency can also be exploited to
perform work.

This is an interaction among all matter that Ernst Mach alluded to as
necessary to cause matter's characteristic of inertia. Einstein later
called this Mach's Principle. Einstein
studied Mach's ideas while developing his theory of General Relativity.

Bugh describes inertial resistance to acceleration as caused by
electromagnetic forces. Changes in position of a mass will cause phase
differences to develop between the
precessional motions of the particles of that mass relative to the sea
of standing waves. This in turn causes electromagnetic force that
resists a mass from changing its position.

The research papers are published in a book and a CD titled "Spin Wave
Technology Initial Release". At the end of the book it suggests that it
should be possible to create
computer simulations of particle interactions using classical
electrodynamics to demonstrate both inertial resistance and
gravitational attraction and it should be possible to
simulate devices that manipulate these particle interactions to
demonstrate antigravity effects.

The CORE of Democracy & Freedom, is inseparable from and incorporates economic, governmental, political, educational and scientific tools of influence.

 insert eye-openers from a Kucinich Yahoo group:
 
(While Kucinich's "The (Ten Point) Progressive Vision covers Education, Corporate Power, and Clean Energy, the 'shock & awe of discovery, public outrage, NECESSARY TO WIN does not exist...............THE EVIDENCE IS MISSING - only opinions, insinuations, hearsay, abound. The extent of clean energy availability remains incomprehensible to the public. The extent of corporate power influence remains incomprehensible to the public - still believing in fairy tales and conspiracy theories rather than recognizing them as today's MARKET FUNDAMENTALS......... While you can change the course of an ocean liner with the addition of the mass of a flea on the rudder, the time frame is not something an intelligent being would contemplate as a solution to timely course corrections........ Let history not write: "Survival, along with freedom and democracy, were lost in the shuffle of yesterday's trivia and outdated modes of action......................Years of irresponsibility has left us no choice but to use (free) science as a political weapon to freedom, unlimited prosperity for all, decency, sustainability, and evolutionary progress................And Energy must be its first and foremost target to unchain and release from the prison of stagnating Oil and stifled, misunderstood nuclear promise of Flow (not bang, not bomb, and/or deadly radiation of nuclear power plants.......Nuclear Flow, another concept not even in the imagination of the possible, in the public mind).
 
Oil and Peace? Pray for Common Sense
......with a little scientific curiosity....our only window to expanding reality....which when fogged with secrecy will result in far less than planet of the apes. 

Failure to address the Number One Issue, Energy Stagnation (and the reasons why), is not only extremely and fatally dangerous to our future, but also embarrassingly naive. For adults to act as this child (story below), speaks well for Media and Corporate-Educational Brainwashing

Dust balls and Oil. Let’s play ‘energy’ dumball (analogy):

Dr. Lloyd E. Cannon once reflected on this story: The child who was informed by his Sunday School teacher, "from dust ye came, and to dust ye shall return," (no doubt referring to Wise King Solomon’s words: "All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again").  At home the little boy happened to roll a ball under the bed, and came running to his mother, exclaiming excitedly, "Mommy, Mommy, come quick! There is somebody in the bedroom under the bed!:" Showing his mother the rolls of dust underneath the bed, the little boy said, "see, he is either coming or going."..............That pile of dust signified to the little lad just one thing, from that "bit of knowledge" he had recently acquired, to him God was in the process of creating another man, or of taking one away............showing a 'little bit' of knowledge (or skewed information) could pose serious threats, when applied as an adult, leading to false beliefs, opinions and actions. 

I will keep Repeating - add to the political and 'peace' agenda the number one deficiency: Supporting the scientists saying "a quest for clean energy must begin now" (New York Times, November 1, 2002) "Meeting the world's rising energy needs without increasing global warming will require a research effort as ambitious as the Apollo project to put a man on the moon, a diverse group of scientists and engineers said in Science magazine today. "
 
A what "if'er":   some honest, earnest, hard work, doing research and investigation at house gatherings (vs 'fun & games') nationwide - revealed some serious deficiencies in science and energy issues? Indisputable data made public with massive public outcries? (recall previous post, INTEGRATED scientific data is data, while opinion could be everything imaginable, including very, very inflated egos - to the detriment of all else).
 
Politically correct, YESTERDAY'S TUNES, will only prove why the 'buggy whip manufacturer went out of business", a sure predictor of campaign win or loss. 
 
but more than just a campaign win/loss
 
Legends are born of "non-existing' destroyed civilizations, where fable has it, "civilizations destroyed when science and wisdom and the people got separated". 

The secrecy is phenomenal

British Aerospace, NASA and independent researchers worldwide are on a quest to understand the mysteries of hyperdimensional physics and unlock the secrets of antigravity.

A Primer on the Role of Electromagnetic, Electrostatic and Torsion Fields in Antigravity and Field-Effect Propulsion

Dr Eugene Podkletnov, one of the foremost researchers in antigravity and whose work is sought by NASA, Boeing and British Aerospace (now known as BAE Systems), describes the hunt for antigravity as the greatest scientific quest of this century. He calls for an international effort, akin to the Manhattan Project that developed the atomic bomb, to conquer the secrets of antigravity and usher in a new era of scientific understanding whose technological development will be at a scale so vast that the potential outcomes are merely hinted at by our previous achievements. Just getting such a project off the ground will require unprecedented international cooperation, and public disclosure as well--the potentials are that vast, that scary, and that dangerous.

Dr Dan Marckus, noted British avionics expert, states in The Hunt for Zero Point--the seminal work to date on antigravity, written by Jane's Defence Weekly aviation editor Nick Cook--that the secrets of antigravity in the wrong hands will make thermonuclear weapons look like firecrackers.

The secrecy surrounding antigravity research is phenomenal. Boeing refuses to acknowledge publicly any activity in antigravity development despite the fact that its competitor and sometime subcontractor British Aerospace (BAE Systems) does--and has provided funds for four university research efforts as part of its Project Greenglow...............................................

Science Freedom  - Space Energy Access Systems, Inc. (SEAS) Strategic Overview Research shows that over the past 75 years a number of significant breakthroughs in energy generation and propulsion have occurred that have been systematically suppressed. Since the time of Tesla, T. Townsend Brown and others in the early and mid-twentieth century we have had the technological ability to replace fossil fuel....................Interview: Dr. Bob Hieronimus - Dr. John O'M Bockris - distinguished professor of chemistry Texas A&M Univ. - Bockris: “I can remember the times when all new ideas were jumped upon with joy. But something died, sometime in the '70s just all died, and Science became frozen. Physics particularly”....................Navy Research Lab Ten-Year Story on Cold Fusion Success - makes the New Scientist magazine with a remarkably accurate account of perseverance that paid off, despite its confusing title. Here is the history of cold fusion told without suppression for perhaps the first time. Dr. Scott Chubb told me that even top management from DOE has visited his lab to inquire about the details.  www.newscientist.com/news  –TV ..............Bernard Haisch http://www.calphysics.org/research.html  : "We scientists tend to think that we know better than anyone else what is possible and what is impossible, and that we of all people could surely not be kept in the dark for very long. Over the course of time I have learned how it would indeed be possible to maintain decades-long secrecy on this topic and why this might be justified, concepts I myself once dismissed.".................... so like our future NEVER ENDING WAR, SCIENTIFIC SUPPRESSION GOES ON AND ON.

Preliminary Criteria Consideration for Non-Profit Structure to maximize efficiency and effectiveness. For those considering membership, StarSteps' first six chapters  comprehension is required. The illusion game did not end with the 'forest and the trees", nor commence with the mystic's the 'world is an illusion'. You reference point (point of view) and 'viewing point' become critical players in science and math, when traversing from the micro, to the here and now, and to the macro positions. The illusion is in the radius of curvature, precisely defined through E=MC2. The Law is curved, not the space. By the way, definitions of both space and time simplify at higher energy differentials. Chaos and Order, fractals, provide excellent analogies
 
A neutral (non-profit) worldwide organization/research center with a twofold focus:

*demonstration of hydrogen and field priopulsion as the logical future energy choices
* with public issue #1 - demanding scientific freedom of information

 

  • foremost and priority, an ongoing research center - R&D, with sample displays and demonstration prototypes of New Energy Technology's evolvement worldwide -all grounds, pools, buildings and  vehicles, would be designed totally energy independent, CLEAN and QUIET, demonstrating advanced technology in practical application, with the ultimate aim of the hydrogen economy (H2 derived from H2O), and Field Propulsion. Comprehensive analysis to show both (hydrogen and field propulsion) to be the simplest, cheapest, cleanest, effective and efficient energy methods of the future. That 'field propulsion' is the harmonic way of accessing nuclear energy, is simply the bonus associated with Understanding.

  • Funding incentives and payback could be offered from an immediate breakthrough in the energy sector, Hydrogen from water on a costless scale and volume unmatched to date - with Field Propulsion to follow six months to a year.  The economics here would make Bill Gates appear poor. This is not a single minded task, nor for the faint hearted.

  • The fragile foundation of relativity, electromagnetism, and quantum mechanics has been exposed. A concerted effort is needed to sift through the rubble and create a unified perspective, a unified theory that will propel the R&D,  engineering and application

  • A good organizer could possibly get the agenda for supporting a unified R&D effort - as a common link with most major clean energy & environmental organizations (Sierra, National Wildlife, etc) - even the Rotary Club, that is beginning to endorse a Pollution Free Planet and support Roy McAllister at AHA American Hydrogen Association. With predatory energy prices and shortage crisis, membership draw to each individually established organization could be considerable as they focused on a mutual goal  “A CENTER FOR ENERGY, EDUCATION, RESEARCH- whose end result would assist attaining many of their individual objectives.

  • Additional funding incentives could take the form of: a major Resort like setting (Hyatt comparable), demonstrating New Energy Prototypes, Human Potential as opposed to 'biological destiny for WAR', Sustainability, Prosperity and Health. From survival schools, true leadership training, to peak performance, yoga, Aikido, Tai Chi and Chi Kung; from stress management to meditation, centering, balance and restricted environmental stimulation tools; from conferences to workshops with an ongoing task force demonstrating and developing new educational constructs and putting the missing pieces of education and human legacy back together

The Way has always been there. The will is another question. The energy breakthroughs will shake the very foundations of erroneous beliefs – that are threatening our future anyway.  The money/power association to the new energy sector, requires an innovative organization of a NASA capacity, to insure appropriate use - totally open to the Public with wide open Media coverage - 

Totally open to the Public with wide open Media coverage

 
Additional summation from others:
 

The Center for Energy Education Research criteria proposal, is a not-for-profit advanced physics research and development organization dedicated to pioneering breakthrough technologies for 21st century life.

 After decades of theoretical and experimental physics research, parts of which I've had the honor to help sponsor over the past thirty years, scientists around the country are converging to help catalyze a sustainable and unlimited future for all life on Earth.

 And now, I am asking for your help in this mission.

 After several years and millions of dollars invested in preparatory work, scientists in several research institutions across the United States are coming together.

 Significant discoveries in both the physical and mental sciences have been made and rediscovered within the past 40 years, discoveries of great significance to the future of life on Earth. Far more remain top secret and classified.

Yet there remains a critical visual Obstacle, creating awesome errors of energy differential miss-interpretations across macro-micro scales, largely due to inappropriate and non-equivalent units of measurement used to represent space, time, mass, matter, energy and field quantities. (See StarSteps link – book in progress on Fuel 2000 home page)

 Revelation and clarification of the RADIUS OF CURVATURE impact upon appropriate and equivalent units of measurement in our theoretical models and equations would permit the farmer and layman to Understand and apply the highest concepts and relationships of our current sciences and extend far beyond current science’s limited frame of reference.     

 Explore with me a hypothetical future.

 Imagine breakthroughs in energy generation:

       Ø       Fuel cell electricity from water at no cost

Ø       Propulsion systems with no fuel, cost, or waste

Ø       Medical cures without surgery or chemicals and drugs

 Imagine limitless conversion of seawater to fresh water by 2015. Imagine that by 2025 we no longer need an electricity grid. Imagine a pollution-free atmosphere by 2030. Imagine a permanent end to the growing snarls of freeway traffic by 2040. Imagine a society which recognizes a human right to move about as freely as the goods of its economy -- across any border, any time; imagine a rat race turned human, free of cancerous and blocked  bloodline circulation system – where all can get a ‘Living Wage’ and children no longer starve to death; or a reusable transportation vehicle that can take you into Space, driven by a field of force rather than ejection of propellant. Finally imagine green deserts with a vibrant society of human and natural life.

 This portrays precisely the kind of future emerging from the implications of some of the best physics research underway in the world today. Several groups of talented scientists and engineers have began quiet collaboration a few years ago

 This mission isn't about an IPO. Although IPO’s will license from us and support our growth and the growth of our partner associations - whose primary goals will extend beyond sustainability, to ever greater quality of life for all. Sharing with the world tools that could reverse environmental decline, end starvation and poverty, and make wars a horror of the past will enable a renewal of human civilization, and Nature as a whole.

 The Center for Energy Education Research will therefore truly be a public enterprise, and if we're successful, the proceeds yielded from technologies sponsored by the Center will be given back to humanity through our partner associations. As a not-for-profit 501(c)3, our success in these missions will be dependent upon the support of visionary institutional partners and individuals. People like you.

On behalf of a rare and talented network of highly credentialed and rigorous scientists, engineers that will be joining us, I invite you to join with us to form the Center for Energy Education Research, in a historic attempt to:

Ø       breakthrough the speed of light limit to transportation

Ø       breakthrough the gravitation disability (one pole one leg – ALL FIELDS HAVE TWO POLES),

Ø       DECENTRALIZE THE ENERGY STRANGLEHOLD, by revealing and providing a clean, cheap, unlimited energy system available to all – hydrogen derived from water utilizing a simple field concept.

 I cannot imagine a better way for the physics of the 21st century to be pioneered.
