Alt.Misc.Science

David Talbott has written a well-researched, interesting, and provocative book. At one time Saturn was much more visible than it is now; it rivaled the sun in its visual splendor and thereby tugged on the human imagination with comparable force. The difficulty with this picture of the past is that Talbott never explains how Saturn subsequently ended up as a small point in the sky lacking all the grandeur it supposedly once possessed. One can only guess at a Velikovsky-type scenario, but this is not plausible from an astronomical point of view. Talbott, with much learning, seems to be writing between the cracks of ancient Near East history and modern physical science, and his thesis lacks scientific backing. I suspect it also fails to persuade Egyptologists and ancient Mesopotamian scholars--those best situated to pass judgement on its historical and mythic content. This is to say that it is highly idiosyncratic. Still, it is much more stimulating and responsible than Velikovsky and von Daniken. Sometimes its fun to turn the kaleidoscope and Talbott lets you do that.

Zero-point fluctuations in quantum fields give rise to observable forces between material bodies, the so-called Casimir forces. In these lectures I present the theory of the Casimir effect, primarily formulated in terms of Green's functions. There is an intimate relation between the Casimir effect and van der Waals forces. Applications to conductors and dielectric bodies of various shapes will be given for the cases of scalar, electromagnetic, and fermionic fields. The dimensional dependence of the effect will be described. Finally, we ask the question: Is there a connection between the Casimir effect and the phenomenon of sonoluminescence?

Corentin Louis Kervran spent most of his life studying Biological Transmutation and I had hoped that this book would document his findings. Unfortunately the majority of the text in this book is not an apparent direct translation from the French, but an Oriental Taoist interpretation by George Oshawa of the Macrobiotic Foundation. If a new principle of physics lies in Kervran's work it is extremely difficult to separate it from Ohsawa's "True Alchemy is Born" interpretation. Of the 70 pages of this short book, only 22 pages are directly attributed to Kervran. Is this all Kervran had to say?

Bruce Cathie's first book, Harmonic 33, was first published in 1968 when he was a commercial pilot in New Zealand. Since then Captain Bruce Cathie has been the premier investigator into the amazing potential of the infinite energy that surrounds our planet every microsecond. The Harmonic Conquest of Space contains all new material and further explores the concept that the earth is criss-crossed by an electromagnetic grid system that can be used for anti-gravity, free energy, levitation and more. Chapters include: Mathematics of the World Grid; the Harmonics of Hiroshima and Nagasaki; Harmonic Transmission and Receiving; the Link Between Human Brain Waves; the Cavity Resonance between the Earth; the Ionosphere and Gravity; Edgar Cayce - the Harmonics of the Subconscious; Stonehenge; the Harmonics of the Moon; the Pyramids of Mars; Nikola Tesla's Electric Car; the Robert Adams Pulsed Electric Motor Generator; Harmonic Clues to the Unified Field; and more. Also included in the book are tables showing the harmonic relations between the Earth's magnetic field, the speed of light, and anti-gravity/gravity acceleration at different points on the Earth's surface

The solution for chronic inflammation, regarded as the cause of most common modern diseases, has been identified! And it is not blueberries. It is something right beneath our feet-the Earth itself! Throughout most of evolution humans walked barefoot and slept on the ground, largely oblivious that the surface of the Earth contains limitless healing energy. Science has discovered this energy as free-flowing electrons constantly replenished by solar radiation and lightning. Few people know it, but the ground provides a subtle electric signal that maintains health and governs the intricate mechanisms that make our bodies work-just like plugging a lamp into a power socket makes it light up. Modern lifestyle, including the widespread use of insulative rubber or plastic-soled shoes, has disconnected us from this energy and, of course, we no longer sleep on the ground as we did in times past. Earthing introduces the planet's powerful, amazing, and overlooked natural healing energy and how people anywhere can readily connect to it. This eye-opening book describes how the physical disconnect with the Earth creates abnormal physiology and contributes to inflammation, pain, fatigue, stress, and poor sleep. By reconnecting to the Earth, symptoms are rapidly relieved and even eliminated and recovery from surgery, injury, and athletic overexertion is accelerated. This never-before-told story-filled with fascinating research and real-life testimonials- chronicles a discovery with the potential to create a global health revolution.

Part archaeological detective story, part science, and part history, The Archimedes Codex tells the astonishing story of a lost manuscript, from its tenth-century creation in ancient Constantinople to the auction block at Christie’s in New York, and how a team of scholars used the latest imaging technology to reveal and decipher the original text. What they found was the earliest surviving manuscript by Archimedes (287 BC–212 BC), the greatest mathematician of antiquity—a manuscript that established, for the first time, the extent of his mathematical genius, which was two thousand years ahead of modern science.

During the past decade our understanding of plasma physics has witnessed an explosive growth due to research in two areas: work directed toward controlled nuclear fusion and work in space physics. This book addresses the growing need to apply these complementary discoveries to astrophysics. Today plasma is recognized as the key element to understanding the generation of magnetic fields in planets, stars and galaxies, the accel- eration and transport of cosmic rays, and many other phenomena occurring in interstellar space, in radio galaxies, stellar atmospheres, quasars, and so forth.

Bearden does an excellent job of describing scalar technology at least the theory aspect. This book is written in the attempt to bring scientists and EE closer to the truth on what is missing in physics to unify the three fields: QM,GR,EM (what Einstein was trying to do but failed to achieve Bearden explains why). I would recommend this to everyone but only those who are truly interested in physics, Tesla, Einstein, & perhaps technology would find this work to be of much helpful knowledge. For myself personally, Bearden has showed me the path that no one has done before. For myself coming from a Tesla background Bearden goes a step further and describes how physics was side tracked and how to get back on the right track through the many many references that is cited, all coming from a man that devoted his life for science. This book is a must for the pioneer in physics.

Between September 1924 and June 1925, Nagaoka and his co-workers at RIKEN in Japan conducted some 200 experiments with high-current electric arc discharges between Tungsten electrodes immersed in liquid hydrocarbon transformer oil in which they detected successful transmutation of Tungsten into macroscopic, visible flecks of Gold and Platinum. In June 1925, Nagaoka went a world tour in which he spoke to scientific and lay audiences about their transmutation experiments in Japan and handed-out samples comprising small pieces of porcelain reactor vessels with tiny bits of adhering Gold that had been created therein. In July 1925, “Nature” published his Letter to the Editors in which he reported on their results and encouraged other scientists to try to repeat their provocative experiments.

Amazingly, as far as we can tell no one ever tried to repeat Nagaoka et al.’s landmark experiments. Even more incredibly, the entire area of inquiry involving electric discharge-triggered transmutations of elements essentially died-out worldwide by 1930 (Chadwick discovered the neutron in 1932 and transmutation via neutron-capture was first elucidated by Taylor in 1935). In this document, we explore some of the possible underlying reasons that may have caused this totally unexpected historical twist.

W.C.Wright developed a magnetic-push gravity theory in 1968. Like me, he had no knowledge of the push-gravity writings of LeSage and others many years ago. Wright published a book in 1979, Gravity is a Push. One of his pamphlets describes the theory:

"Gravity could be a magnetic-push between all heavenly bodies in the universe. . . Objects are pushed down to Earth by the energy within the sun's electromagnetic waves coming at Earth."

I personally have worked in shielded rooms, shielded against most all electromagnetic radiation. Any change in gravity is not noticed in these rooms.

Wright again, "Since the beginning of time learned men have thought that gravity could be magnetic. . . . Michael Faraday even wrote in his autobiography his biggest disappointment was that he failed to provide the evidence needed to support his magnetic-gravity theory."

Wright went on to build a push-gravity museum at his home in Fairfield, California. As a high school teacher he had learned the construction of clear and entertaining displays. He makes extensive use of hockey-puck-shaped magnets with their poles on the flat surfaces -- and painted bright colors. Place two of these magnets together and they either slide away from each other or slide together, depending on which pole is up. He pushed many of these magnets together to form a clever big bang demonstration: release an outer band and they all slide away from each other.

Wright has lectured at many high schools in the United States. Students seem to enjoy his presentation.

So many people have worked with electromagnetic radiation in this century that it would surely be clear to all of them that EMR is not the cause of gravity. Engineers working with high power radio transmitters do no notice any gravity changes. Similarly, hospital employees pushing patients inside giant magnets do not notice gravity effects.

Wright does not offer experiments as proof of his theory but he did give me a pamphlet reporting the work of Zirbes Enterprises of Foreston, Maine. For many years they have been dropping balls down a 600 meter mineshaft. Balls placed 2 meters apart, then dropped, would land 15 meters apart. Many balls released together forming a pyramid would land as a sphere.

What I call unity gravity is a "chemistry reaction" to Wright: "Mercury has the least amount of chemistry reaction to the sun, so the sun only pushes (repels) Mercury out 36,000,000 miles but Pluto has the greatest amount of chemistry reaction to the sun, so the sun pushes (repels) Pluto out 3,670,000,000 miles."

Professor Pollack takes us on a fantastic voyage through water, showing us a hidden universe teeming with physical activity-- providing simple explanations for common everyday phenomena, which you have inevitably seen but not really understood.

Amazingly, Pollack and colleagues at his University of Washington laboratory have discovered that water is NOT always H2O. When touching most surfaces, water transforms itself into so-called Exclusion Zone (EZ) Water, also known as Structured Water or Fourth Phase Water.
EZ water, whose formula is H3O2, differs dramatically from H2O. And, there is a lot of it, everywhere.

Pollack writes in a clear, eloquent style. Whimsical illustrations and simple diagrams help get his points across in a reader-friendly manner perfectly suitable for non-experts.

The Fourth Phase of Water: Beyond Solid, Liquid, and Vapor won the "Distinguished Award" from the Society for Technical Communication, their highest accolade.

Viktor Stepanovich Grebennikov ( ) (1927-2001) was a Russian scientist, naturalist and entomologist who claimed to have invented a levitation platform which operated by virtue of insect body parts attached to the underside. Grebennikov wrote detailed accounts of his 1988 discovery, which involved an accident whilst examining chitin shells. He also wrote of his experiencies flying over the Russian countryside in his book titled "My world." The Cavernous Structure Effect (CSE) he discovered is an alleged anti-gravity effect.

Human Devolution contains solid scientific evidence showing how a subtle mind element and a
conscious self that can exist apart from the body have been systematically eliminated from
mainstream science by a process of knowledge filtration. "Any time knowledge filtration takes
place you can expect a great deal of resistance, criticism, and ridicule when it is exposed and
challenged," says Cremo.

Michael Cremo is no stranger to resistance. In 1993 when Forbidden Archeology was released
there was a vast array of response. From anthropologist Richard Leakey calling it "...pure humbug"
to Fingerprints of the Gods author Graham Hancock referring to it as "One of the landmark
intellectual achievements of the late 20th century," it has received both positive and negative
international attention. In addition, in 1996 when NBC aired its special The Mysterious Origins
of Man, hosted by Charlton Heston, and featured the book, establishment scientists felt so
threatened by this program that they lobbied the Federal Communications Commission to
censure and fine NBC for airing it (read the complete story in Forbidden Archeology's Impact).

Despite the criticism surrounding it, Forbidden Archeology is a huge success. Both it and Human
Devolution present human origins in a new perspective. The two books are the culmination of
eighteen years of research. The result, unlike the early creationist perspective, offers a new
scientifically based take on human origins. Forbidden Archeology gave us the cover-up and now
Human Devolution brings us the true story.

With more than 100,000 copies sold of his self-published book, The Biology of Belief, Bruce Lipton teams up with Hay House to bring his message to an even wider audience. This book is a groundbreaking work in the field of new biology, and it will forever change how you think about thinking. Through the research of Dr. Lipton and other leading-edge scientists, stunning new discoveries have been made about the interaction between your mind and body and the processes by which cells receive information. It shows that genes and DNA do not control our biology, that instead DNA is controlled by signals from outside the cell, including the energetic messages emanating from our thoughts. Using simple language, illustrations, humor, and everyday examples, he demonstrates how the new science of Epigenetics is revolutionizing our understanding of the link between mind and matter and the profound effects it has on our personal lives and the collective life of our species.

This highly unusual book began as a serious inquiry into Schrödinger,s question, "What is life? ", and as a celebration of life itself. It takes the reader on a voyage of discovery through many areas of contemporary physics, from non-equilibrium thermodynamics and quantum optics to liquid crystals and fractals, all necessary for illuminating the problem of life. In the process, the reader is treated to a rare and exquisite view of the organism, gaining novel insights not only into the physics, but also into "the poetry and meaning of being alive." This much-enlarged third edition includes new findings on the central role of biological water in organizing living processes; it also completes the author's novel theory of the organism and its applications in ecology, physiology and brain science.
