Google self-evolving AlphaZero artificial intelligence program mastered
chess from scratch in 4 hours, DeepMind AI Lab: Rich Murray 2017.12.11


https://futurism.com/4-hours-googles-ai-mastered-chess-knowledge-history/

Chess isn’t an easy game, by human standards.

But for an artificial intelligence powered by a formidable, almost alien
mindset, the trivial diversion can be mastered in a few spare hours.

In a new paper, Google researchers detail how their latest AI evolution,
AlphaZero, developed “superhuman performance” in chess, taking just four
hours to learn the rules before obliterating the world champion chess
program, Stockfish.

In other words, all of humanity’s chess knowledge – and beyond – was
absorbed and surpassed by an AI in about as long as it takes to drive from
New York City to Washington, DC.

After being programmed with only the rules of chess (no strategies), in
just four hours AlphaZero had mastered the game to the extent it was able
to best the highest-rated chess-playing program Stockfish.

In a series of 100 games against Stockfish, AlphaZero won 25 games while
playing as white (with first mover advantage), and picked up three games
playing as black.
The rest of the contests were draws, with Stockfish recording no wins and
AlphaZero no losses.

Knowledge: A New Vision of Reality" was co-created by Tarthang Tulku,
Rinpoche, born 1934, and a brilliant student, Steven Tainer, born 1947, at
Nyingma Institute in Berkeley, via many years of dialogue, resulting in
over 3,000 pages of transcripts, which were condensed into a 307 page text
by December 1977 -- essentially a practical pure modern innovation from
DzogChen, without any Buddhist trappings language and rituals.

PROGRAMS IN TIME, SPACE, AND KNOWLEDGE (TSK)

The Time, Space, and Knowledge vision offers a path to the growth of
knowledge, using practices specifically tailored to meet the needs of
modern society.
The Institute has a long and close association with this liberating vision.
Tarthang Tulku introduced his theory of Time, Space, and Knowledge in
seminars held at the Institute in 1976–77, and more intensively, in a
four-week program offered in the summer of 1977.
Within two months after the book, Time, Space, and Knowledge: A New Vision
of Reality,  was launched at an event at the Nyingma Institute in December,
1977, Tarthang Tulku had structured a TSK training program.

The Institute continued to present TSK seminars, workshops, and retreats
throughout the 1980s.
After Love of Knowledge was published in 1987, the Institute offered two
intensive ten-month programs between 1988 and 1990 devoted to its study.
After the third TSK book, Knowledge of Time and Space, was published in
1990, the Institute offered another intensive that drew on all three of the
TSK books.

>From 1991 to 1995, the Institute offered Time, Space, and Knowledge as
occasional weekend programs.
With the appearance of several new books in 1996, TSK gathered momentum and
workshops, classes, and retreats in TSK continue to be taught on a regular
basis.
At present, a regular series of eight classes is offered, providing a solid
introduction to the TSK vision and its practices.

One day, many ideas: Future of Mind 2016 illuminates NYC (Part 1)

December 1, 2016 by Stuart Mason Dambrot

(Phys.org) — The shape that human cognition may take over the coming next
half-century has become increasingly difficult to foresee.
Moreover, accelerating advances in science, mathematics, computing, and
culture –
including Artificial General Intelligence, Machine Consciousness, Synthetic
Creativity, Mind Uploading, Exocortical Cognition, and other ever-more
exotic ideas –
have dramatically transformed the very conception of what we refer to as
mind.

Following the Human Level AI Conference 2016, and sponsored by Humanity+
and The New School, the one-day Future of Mind Symposium 2016 held at The
New School in New York City –
moderated by Dr. Ben Goertzel (Humanity+) and Prof. Ed Keller (The New
School) –
delved into this brave new space through interactive dialogs between expert
panelists and audience members.

The conference began with introductory remarks from the moderators, during
which Goertzel said
"One thing I've gotten more and more respect for as I've done more things,
learned more things and explored more possibilities is how completely
ignorant we are about the real nature of mind and of reality…. I've become
more and more convinced that as we build intelligent engineered systems, as
we upgrade our brains with technology, as we become more and more networked
together on the planet between human beings, synthetic biological systems,
engineered computing and communication systems – as all this advances we're
going to understand that mind and intelligence and the self-organization of
matter go far beyond anything that our history gives us the capability to
conceive."

In the first Morning Session panel, Cosmo Harrigan, Natasha Vita-More, Amy
Li, and (by videolink] Peter Watts discussed The Future of the Individual:
AGIs, Cyborgs, Uploads, and… in which they addressed the "epistemological
horizons of the individual and collective mind, and rethinking the ethics
and politics of mind beyond individual or gender."

Harrigan – a cross-disciplinary internet entrepreneur and researcher in
deep reinforcement learning – reviewed what he described as "a rich variety
of methods" that could lead to human-analogous Artificial General
Intelligence, including traditional symbolic systems based on logic and
reasoning; biologically-inspired systems; and those that start with a
mathematical formalism and work towards approximating a universal
intelligence.

Founder of Dance4Healing and a partner for Stanford Cancer Supportive Care
Program, Li is leading the trend of telehealth into physical rehabilitation
space. Rooted in neuroscience, Dance4Healing is a social platform
connecting dance teachers to patients, using artificial intelligence and
behavior design to recommend personalized music and dance, dance buddies
and patient groups based on real-time emotion and health data, alleviating
mental and physical pain, and improving quality of life – including a
profoundly beneficial effect on cancer, dementia and other serious health
problems.

Vita-More, Chair of Humanity+, Program Champion of Graduate Studies at the
University of Advancing Technology, and author in the areas of humanity's
future, emerging technologies, and radical life extension – and whose
breakthrough research demonstrated post-vitrification (that is, after
exiting a state in which living cells are cooled to cryogenic temperatures
without using ice) memory recovery in C. elegans – stressed the importance
of being involved in legislation because, she noted, it defines "the rules
that govern us and sets the stage for our future."

Watts, a biologist and award-winning science fiction author – whose novel
Blindsight has become a core text in diverse undergraduate courses ranging
from philosophy to neuropsych, and is said to have found its way into
neuroscience laboratories – presented an unsurprisingly iconoclastic
neuroscience-based view of on consciousness focused on the brain's
self-organizing, self-directed learning capabilities.
"The brain is really good at reconfiguring itself….It doesn't really matter
whether or not you crack the secret of consciousness, it doesn't matter if
you can precisely mimic the corpus callosum" – a 10 cm-long flat bundle of
nerve fibers that connects the brain's right and left hemispheres.
"To paraphrase Jeff Goldblum in Jurassic Park, our brains will find a way.
Give them an interface, and chances are they&#

JOLENE CREIGHTON, FUTURISM
30 MAY 2016

This week was a revolutionary week in the sciences -- not because we
discovered a new fundamental particle or had a new breakthrough in quantum
computing -- but because some of the most prominent world leaders announced
an initiative which asserts that European scientific papers should be made
freely available to all by 2020.

This would legally only impact research supported by public and
public-private funds, which are a vast portion of the papers produced
annually;

however, the goal is to make all science freely available. ...

The three of us started this publicly shared adventure this morning about
11:17 am PDT, until ending at 12:28. We want to share our spontaneous
online explorations, which started for the three of us together the first
time May 4.  Others are welcome to watch, and to join our sharing sessions,
to be kept available for free public view.

Eventually, the sharings will evolve and expand, as more join to explore
the wonderful potential of live collaborative online video sharing.  Soon,
many similar expanding networks for free spontaneous mutual awareness
exploration will evolve everywhere, easily and safely serving the enormous
benefit of everyone on Earth and beyond.

We allow continuous spontaneous innovative sharings together to easily
shift into many expanded awareness experiences, appreciating every word and
gesture, acknowledging the benefits of newly shared, freshly found,
surprising natural aspects of our own awareness,  at once unique for each
and yet shared among all,  each a unique strand of creative action that
inspires enjoys and enriches all the others, learning to let life live
freely as a forever fresh jazz session.

Learning by natural doing of whatever is flowing happily each moment leads
to a Golden Rule process, as the more we listen, the more each gives, the
more everyone evolves, while the mutual celebration is safe, gentle,
playful, appreciative, inviting, welcoming, open.  All Chiefs, no
indians...  Muddling through is the way...  Wrong way is way...

Lively Communion -- invoking mutual meditative exploration: Rich Murray
1993 April, 2001.06.22, 2011.02.14

1. INTRODUCTION:

We now join in exploring the co-creation of an open ended process of
mutual meditative exploration.
We call this Lively Communion.

God. That word.
May it refer to something real, to our actual experience.

As fabled lovers leap from terra firma into abyss, we hold mental
hands and fall together into openness, into space, into the intimate
unknown, into peace, bliss, and power.

Naturally, it is effortless, spontaneous, yet surprising and vigorous,
a white water rafting of two souls.

We journey, mostly, with open eyes,  and open "I's".  And, most
humanly, we talk and talk -- but mainly about what is happening right
now...

This is Lively Communion. Let us agree to cooperate in allowing it to
happen now, in this very writing and reading.

10:24 pm PDT Friday 2016.05.13



The audio is good enough, especially if you use headphones, and turn the
volume high on your computer or smartphone.

It helps to assume that flow can be trusted fully -- especially  technical
problems, interruptions, missing many words or gestures, sudden shifts of
topic, unexpected emotions and sensations, mistakes...

You may notice that you feel swept along and uplifted by the flow -- this
is how we feel, and your experience helps inspire us as we play, for in the
reality of All, time is multidimensional and so is "causality", so that
miracles and magic are not only possible, but natural common safe
continuous easy -- grace does not require suffering, penance, effort,
understanding, qualification, expertise, rules, innocence -- just a little
willingness -- if you happen to be reading this, you are already receiving
grace...

the black holes are invisible, so we see their twisted space-time showing
highly distorted swirling views of their far away galactic background --

old from us -- our galaxy is about 0.1 million lightyears wide... ]

TODAY 10:30 AM
Gravitational Waves Exist: The Inside Story of How Scientists Finally Found
Them
BY NICOLA TWILLEY

"Just over a billion years ago, many millions of galaxies from here, a pair
of black holes collided.
They had been circling each other for aeons, in a sort of mating dance,
gathering pace with each orbit, hurtling closer and closer.
By the time they were a few hundred miles apart, they were whipping around
at nearly the speed of light, releasing great shudders of gravitational
energy.
Space and time became distorted, like water at a rolling boil.
In the fraction of a second that it took for the black holes to finally
merge, they radiated a hundred times more energy than all the stars in the
universe combined. They formed a new black hole, sixty-two times as heavy
as our sun and almost as wide across as the state of Maine.
As it smoothed itself out, assuming the shape of a slightly flattened
sphere, a few last quivers of energy escaped.
Then space and time became silent again."

[ Another source says they reached a top speed of half the speed of light
as they merged... ]

"On  Sunday, September 13th, Effler spent the day at the Livingston site
with a colleague, finishing a battery of last-minute tests.
“We yelled, we vibrated things with shakers, we tapped on things, we
introduced magnetic radiation, we did all kinds of things,” she said. “And,
of course, everything was taking longer than it was supposed to.”
At four in the morning, with one test still left to do — a simulation of a
truck driver hitting his brakes nearby — they decided to pack it in.
They drove home, leaving the instrument to gather data in peace.
The signal arrived not long after, at 4:50 A.M. local time, passing through
the two detectors within seven milliseconds of each other.
[ In Louisiana and in Oregon, 1,865 miles apart ]
It was four days before the start of Advanced LIGO’s first official run."

"Since the September 14th detection, LIGO has continued to observe
candidate signals, although none are quite as dramatic as the first event.
“The reason we are making all this fuss is because of the big guy,” Weiss
said. “But we’re very happy that there are other, smaller ones, because it
says this is not some unique, crazy, cuckoo effect.”


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LIGO


"These sites are separated by 3,002 kilometers (1,865 miles).
Since gravitational waves are expected to travel at the speed of light,
this distance corresponds to a difference in gravitational wave arrival
times of up to ten milliseconds."

"After an equivalent of approximately 75 trips down the 4 km length to the
far mirrors and back again, the two separate beams leave the arms and
recombine at the beam splitter."

"Based on current models of astronomical events, and the predictions of the
general theory of relativity, gravitational waves that originate tens of
millions of light years from Earth are expected to distort the 4 kilometer
mirror spacing by about 10E−18 m, less than one-thousandth the charge
diameter of a proton. Equivalently, this is a relative change in distance
of approximately one part in 10E 21.
A typical event which might cause a detection event would be the late stage
inspiral and merger of two 10 solar mass black holes, not necessarily
located in the Milky Way galaxy, which is expected to result in a very
specific sequence of signals often summarized by the slogan chirp, burst,
quasi-normal mode ringing, exponential decay."


http://www.nature.com/news/einstein-s-gravitational-waves-found-at-last-1.19361

"One black hole was about 36 times the mass of the Sun, and the other was
about 29 solar masses.
As they spiraled inexorably into one another, they merged into a single,
more-massive gravitational sink in space-time that weighed 62 solar masses,
the LIGO team estimates."
[ So, 3 solar masses was radiated away as invisible gravitational energy --
about 5 % conversion of mass into pure energy... ]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Younger_Dryas_impact_hypothesis

Recent debates[edit]  [ the last section of a detailed discussion ]

Recently new studies were published in the matter of the YDB impact
hypothesis, criticizing the methodology and pointing to inconsistencies
regarding the chronological data.[57][58][59]

This new research, which analyzed sediments claimed, by the hypothesis
proponents, to be deposits resulting from a bolide impact were, in fact,
dated from much later or much earlier time periods than the proposed date
of the cosmic impact.

The researchers examined 29 sites that are commonly referenced to support
the impact theory to determine if they can be geologically dated to around
13,000 years ago.

Crucially, only three of the sites actually date from that time.

According to the researchers, the Younger Dryas impact event evidence
"fails the critical chronological test of an isochronous event at the
Younger Dryas onset, which, coupled with the many published concerns about
the extraterrestrial origin of the purported impact markers, renders the
Younger Dryas impact hypothesis unsupported.

There is no reason or compelling evidence to accept the claim that a cosmic
impact occurred about 12,800 years ago and caused the Younger Dryas."[57]

These same studies were addressed and replied by Kennett and his
colleagues, still advocating the validity of the YDB impact hypothesis.[60]

Holliday (1) rejects age-depth models for the Younger Dryas boundary layer
(YDB) in Kennett et al. (2), claiming that they are incorrect for several
reasons, including age reversals, high age uncertainties, and use of
optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating.

These same claims previously were presented in Meltzer et al. (3) and were
discussed and refuted in Kennett et al. (2).

These criticisms apply to nearly all dated archaeological and geological
sequences, including the Odessa meteorite impact crater, where
paradoxically, Holliday et al. (4) modeled an impact age using OSL dating
(>70% of dates used) with large uncertainties (to >6,000 y) and age
reversals (>40% of dates are reversals).

Thus, Holliday (1) argues against a practice that he and many other
researchers have used and continue to use today.

In an ideal world, all dates would be in perfect chronological order with
high accuracy and certainty, but such scenarios are rarely possible (2).

It is because of such dating difficulties that Bayesian analysis is a
powerful chronological tool, and is rapidly becoming the archaeological
standard.

Holliday (1) also claims to “provide evidence for multiple horizons with
‘impact proxies’ at times other than the YDB.”

Those claims have been refuted in detail (2, 5–7).

In every case, those contradictory studies have serious flaws, including:
(i) correct protocols were not followed, and
(ii) the evidence was not analyzed using electron microscopy, an essential
requirement.
Independent workers who followed the correct procedures (e.g., ref. 5)
confirmed the presence of YDB impact proxies at multiple sites, with few to
no proxies above and below.
Contrary to Holliday’s (1) claims, no interval other than the YDB layer in
23 widely separated stratig

What is the Company Free MovementNote. This is not a post. It is a material
that is constantly evolving.

*A bit of history…*

In the fall of 2015, he and some friends started working together on an
idea.

The idea was to create a horizontal company. The deal would be a portal for
content about nutrition.

A horizontal company, no one would have the higher salary than the other
and no one would have greater participation. Everyone would be equal.

With this discourse began to assemble a team. Soon it was possible to see
that most people liked the idea. What was the little dream of a few people,
she turned the shared 20 people dream.

Thus was born the Baobbá Lab. Click here to see our website
<http://baobbalab.com/>
http://baobbalab.com/

In less than three months we gathered 20 people with different
skills.Administrators, designers, developers, videographers, nutritionists,
chef de cuisine, editor.

I shared the birth of this idea in this text: How began a horizontal
business.
<https://medium.com/baobba-lab/como-comecei-uma-empresa-horizontal-30cdbbc7354a#.lww115mrp>

In a few weeks, it was possible to see that our team was too good an idea
to work alone and we could work on different projects.

Then came three other projects: 101Chefs, Academy of Nature and Personal
Brazil. All with the same goal: to empower people and open up opportunities
to make money and undertake (in food, permaculture and fitness respectively)

Over the months, we were learning. We were facing challenges that were not
foreseen and saw hundreds of people interested in joining our team.

When things grow very fast, we get scared a little. So we made a move to
protect our group.

"If 20 people already have many challenges, imagine if we have 150?" That's
what started thinking.

So we fix our focus on projects and closing the team in these 20 people.

But then we began to feel a conflict. While coming more and more people
sending messages asking for information and offering to work, we lost power
internally. That speed we had at the beginning turned into idleness.

Projects take time to be developed. It does not create a company from one
day to another. The business was changing and we were adapting.

While exercitávamos our patience, we were seeing people on the team become
disheartened and wanted to do something more.

We ended 2015 with the feeling that the move we made was going against the
flow.

One thing I learned in 2015 is observed. And watching, you realize the
flow. The flow was to expand our work. Bring more people. Incorporate new
projects.

So we ended the year trying to relate better with people. We have created a
group on Facebook and in less than two months, were nearly a thousand
people participating, without us disclose.

Enter the group by clicking here.
<https://www.facebook.com/groups/empresalivre/>

The term we created Free Company, began to be used by different people and
Baobbá began to be cited as reference.

By the power of the universe, some of my writings began to circulate in
other languages ​​and I began to receive worldwide message people wanting
to keep up with our work.

Without much pretense, we realized that we had started a movement.

And now we want to start in 2016 making this movement grow.

So here are some initial information

*What is a Free Enterprise?*

A free enterprise is a company without owners. No shareholders. Without
heads. No managers or directors.

All are equal. Niguém is more valuable than the other time. No one has
greater percentage.

And no one has ownership of the company.

I can not go out and take the company with me.

People can come and go. But the company continues.

This is interesting because it is a punch in the stomach ego. No one is the
CEO, founder, VP or any of those titles that make you feel important.

And it takes a lot detachment to accept to be like everyone
else. Regardless of age, seniority, or training.

*How to structure a

Physicists George Ellis (center) and Joe Silk (right) at Ludwig Maximilian
University in Munich on Dec. 7.


Physicists typically think they “need philosophers and historians of
science like birds need ornithologists,” the Nobel laureate David Gross
told a roomful of philosophers, historians and physicists last week in
Munich, Germany, paraphrasing Richard Feynman.  .


layman, 73, Imperial Beach, California -- Scientific American level about
all aspects of science -- spiritually enlightened a la Dzogchen,  Zen,
Franklin Merrell-Wolff, Joel Sol Goldsmith, ACIM, Advaita, nonduality, We
Space  -- this is experimentally scientific via allowing the same level of
expanded awareness to be acknowledged by flexible sharing face-to-face or
via video chat --  I savored the article and all comments, so want to
experiment with offering some clues from beyond all boxes -- yes,
entanglement of every item with every other, as each is always already
forever intimately all of single entire spontaneous creative unified open
fractal hyperinfinity -- the appearance of these very little crooked word
 le t  te r   s   right now within visual space of awareness...
here is a possible jumping off point for noticing a higher level awareness
background -- so, "causality" is multidimensional and instantaneous and
multidirectional and discontinuous, uh, co-dependent co-origination,  so
things, histories, and beings are so transient and ever changing that
nothing fixed or even repetitive ever exists -- yet infinite symphonic
improvisations seem within themselves to be reality systems with agents and
lawful patterns -- Charlie may indeed succeed in  kicking the football, but
almost always Lucy snatches it away, as he flips dazed on his back -- a few
of you will resonate with these words, realizing they are far from
incoherent -- laughter is a very good outcome ...  note that the empirical
process of all sciences the last 500 years since Galileo expands
exponentially in all aspects, faster and faster, so this by now is strong
evidence that the play is forever, even for as simple a game as the theory
of integers...

Mark Zuckerberg

December 1 at 1:08 pm
Priscilla and I are so happy to welcome our daughter Max into this world!

For her birth, we wrote a letter to her about the world we hope she grows
up in.

It's a world where our generation can advance human potential and promote
equality -- by curing disease, personalizing learning, harnessing clean
energy, connecting people, building strong communities, reducing poverty,
providing equal rights and spreading understanding across nations.

We are committed to doing our small part to help create this world for all
children.

We will give 99% of our Facebook shares -- currently about $45 billion --
during our lives to join many others in improving this world for the next
generation.

Thank you to everyone in this community for all your love and support
during the pregnancy.

You've given us hope that together we can build this world for Max and all
children.



A letter to our daughter

MARK ZUCKERBERG·TUESDAY, DECEMBER 1, 2015

Dear Max,

Your mother and I don't yet have the words to describe the hope you give us
for the future. Your new life is full of promise, and we hope you will be
happy and healthy so you can explore it fully. You've already given us a
reason to reflect on the world we hope you live in.

Like all parents, we want you to grow up in a world better than ours today.

While headlines often focus on what's wrong, in many ways the world is
getting better. Health is improving. Poverty is shrinking. Knowledge is
growing. People are connecting. Technological progress in every field means
your life should be dramatically better than ours today.

We will do our part to make this happen, not only because we love you, but
also because we have a moral responsibility to all children in the next
generation.

We believe all lives have equal value, and that includes the many more
people who will live in future generations than live today. Our society has
an obligation to invest now to improve the lives of all those coming into
this world, not just those already here.

But right now, we don't always collectively direct our resources at the
biggest opportunities and problems your generation will face.

Consider disease. Today we spend about 50 times more as a society treating
people who are sick than we invest in research so you won't get sick in the
first place.

Medicine has only been a real science for less than 100 years, and we've
already seen complete cures for some diseases and good progress for others.
As technology accelerates, we have a real shot at preventing, curing or
managing all or most of the rest in the next 100 years.

Today, most people die from five things -- heart disease, cancer, stroke,
neurodegenerative and infectious diseases -- and we can make faster
progress on these and other problems.

Once we recognize that your generation and your children's generation may
not have to suffer from disease, we collectively have a responsibility to
tilt our investments a bit more towards the future to make this reality.
Your mother and I want to do our part.

Curing disease will take time. Over short periods of five or ten years, it
may not seem like we're making much of a difference. But over the long
term, seeds planted now will grow, and one day, you or your children will
see what we can only imagine: a world without suffering from disease.

There are so many opportunities just like this. If society focuses more of
its energy on these great challenges, we will leave your generation a much
better world.

• • •

Our hopes for your generation focus on two ideas: advancing human potential
and promoting equality.
Advancing human potential is about pushing the boundaries on how great a
human life can be.
Can you learn and experience 100 times more than we do today?
Can our generation cure disease so you live much longer and healthier
lives?
Can we connect the world so you have access to every idea, person and
opportunity?
Can we harness more clean energy so you can invent things we can't conceive
of today while protecting the environment?
Can we cultivate entrepreneurship so you can build any business and solve
any challenge to grow peace and prosperity?
Promoting equality is about making sure everyone has access to these
opportunities -- regardless of the nation, families or circumstances they
are born into.
Our society must do this not only for justice or charity, but for the
greatness of human progress.
Today we are robbed of the potential so many have to offer. The only way to
achieve our full potential is to

Priscilla and I are so happy to welcome our daughter Max into this world!

For her birth, we wrote a letter to her about the world we hope she grows
up in.

It's a world where our generation can advance human potential and promote
equality -- by curing disease, personalizing learning, harnessing clean
energy, connecting people, building strong communities, reducing poverty,
providing equal rights and spreading understanding across nations.

We are committed to doing our small part to help create this world for all
children.

We will give 99% of our Facebook shares -- currently about $45 billion --
during our lives to join many others in improving this world for the next
generation.

Thank you to everyone in this community for all your love and support
during the pregnancy.

You've given us hope that together we can build this world for Max and all
children.

Dear Max,
Your mother and I don't yet have the words to describe the hope you give us
for the future. Your new life is full of promise, and we hope you will be
happy and healthy so you can explore it fully. You've already given us a
reason to reflect on the world we hope you live in.
Like all parents, we want you to grow up in a world better than ours today.
While headlines often focus on what's wrong, in many ways the world is
getting better. Health is improving. Poverty is shrinking. Knowledge is
growing. People are connecting. Technological progress in every field means
your life should be dramatically better than ours today.

Significance

The large-scale conversion to 100% wind, water, and solar (WWS) power for
all purposes (electricity, transportation, heating/cooling, and industry)
is currently inhibited by a fear of grid instability and high cost due to
the variability and uncertainty of wind and solar.

This paper couples numerical simulation of time- and space-dependent
weather with simulation of time-dependent power demand, storage, and demand
response to provide low-cost solutions to the grid reliability problem with
100% penetration of WWS across all energy sectors in the continental United
States between 2050 and 2055.

Solutions are obtained without higher-cost stationary battery storage by
prioritizing storage of heat in soil and water; cold in water and ice; and
electricity in phase-change materials, pumped hydro, hydropower, and
hydrogen.

Abstract

This study addresses the greatest concern facing the large-scale
integration of wind, water, and solar (WWS) into a power grid:

the high cost of avoiding load loss caused by WWS variability and
uncertainty.

It uses a new grid integration model and finds low-cost, no-load-loss,
nonunique solutions to this problem on electrification of all US energy
sectors (electricity, transportation, heating/cooling, and industry) while
accounting for wind and solar time series data from a 3D global weather
model that simulates extreme events and competition among wind turbines for
available kinetic energy.

Solutions are obtained by prioritizing storage for heat (in soil and
water); cold (in ice and water); and electricity (in phase-change
materials, pumped hydro, hydropower, and hydrogen), and using demand
response.

No natural gas, biofuels, nuclear power, or stationary batteries are needed.

The resulting 2050–2055 US electricity social cost for a full system is
much less than for fossil fuels.

These results hold for many conditions, suggesting that low-cost, reliable
100% WWS systems should work many places worldwide.

Re: [FRIAM] Nondualism

[Rich Murray]

I'd like to illustrate a typical teaching maneuver for making shifted (uh,
expanded) awareness available -- as you sit and gaze at these very little
dark on white crooked m a  r   ks , notice

that they appear as largely 2D images within the ah, visual space of your
own awareness --

while very quickly there arise acoustic memories in ah, the acoustic space
of your own awareness  --

while very quickly indeed, there arise flocks of evolving meanings within
the ah, cognizing space of your own awareness --

while, in the background there are a multitude of prosaic sensations in all
parts of the body representation space of your own awareness --

in some cases, there will be a spontaneous shift in which the visual space
images seems to unify and harmonize as a lovely 2D abstraction --

you can play with this in many ways -- for instance imagine that you can
project your focus of attention straight ahead right through the visual
image into an empty space of awareness, like locating the far horizon of
ocean and sky at the beach --

you can gaze this way in all directions at once, and also from ever vaster
to ever tinier distances --

if a notable phase change of awareness happens, enjoy it, and gently seek
to allow more, and more...

if you call me on Skype video chat  we can play in many similar ways

Re: [FRIAM] FW: Meat

[Rich Murray]

I enjoyed Friam for a few years -- glad to see a few others have ventured
into expanded awareness explorations, like Zen -- shared paranormal
experience is core to conveying mysticism -- this is becoming more
prominent in recent years with the proliferation of free video teaching,
crafted to induce expanded states in the viewers -- just Google
"nonduality" ... the style is to deepen the real-time process of intimate
communication about moment by moment raw experience, while agreeing on
shared positive goals -- this leads to viewpoints and vistas that
completely shift and expand human experience beyond the usual limits...

The reason for my email today is to share with you a video presentation
that we’ve put together which documents the history of the internet.
You can watch the video here -- http://wiht.link/internethistoryvideo

The Internet: Then & Now

In 1969, when the internet was nothing more than an intriguing military
communication network, few could have imagined the far reaching impact of
the then-budding technology.
You don't need me to tell you how deeply integrated the internet is in our
daily lives today.
It is a communication and information highway.
It is a way to distribute entertainment, and consumes more of our leisure
time than we may want to admit.
It gives voice to the marginalized and forgotten.
It is the incubator of innovation.

So how much has changed since the dawn of the internet age?
Just about everything.
We've pulled together a quick video that runs through some of the most
staggering statistics available to describe the meteoric growth of the
internet. Take a look: ]


I can see you’ve covered the topic of internet history in the past so I
think you might find this interesting and worth sharing with your visitors.

Would you consider including a link to it on this page? --
http://redfish.com/pipermail/friam_redfish.com/2013-February/019082.html

I’d welcome your thoughts on the piece and do let me know if you have any
questions.

If I have reached you in error, please accept my apologies, just let me
know and I’ll make sure I don’t email you again.

Thanking you in advance for your time and consideration.

Best regards, Toni

Hi Toni,

Well, I'm 73... so would love a transcript with charts...  I watched it
twice, but it's about ten times too fast for me to take in.

Also, who are you? Do you know me from 2008 to 2011 in Santa Fe FRIAM group
and Santa Fe Complex?

I did my 120-page senior thesis in 1964 for my BS in physics and history,
about the exponential change from 1948 to 1964, moving from vacuum tubes to
transistors to the first integrated circuits.

I figured the arms race would burn us all -- a close thing, but here we
are, sharing a remarkably positive probable stream of history.

The fundamental key factor is God, as awareness expansion has also gone
exponential, my actual focus since 1965.

Google "nonduality"...

Or phone or video Skype me, if you want to go through amazing changes
quickly and easily, no fees.

Today my partner Sondra and I shared over an hour of expanded awareness
play on Google Plus Hangouts, for free, with a man in Hawaii and a lady in
Cape Cod, from our little house in Imperial Beach, 10 miles south of San
Diego -- the best of our 20 years together, as this is now our daily
adventure:

finderscourse.comramaji.org   circleofa.org

I daily check out the 20 articles from Phys.org site about critical
innovations -- quantum computing with photons in integrated circuits made a
huge jump today, a device that can do hundreds of original explorations
into the subleties daily...

A cataclysmic event of a certain age

At the end of the Pleistocene period, approximately 12,800 years ago — give
or take a few centuries — a cosmic impact triggered an abrupt cooling
episode that earth scientists refer to as the Younger Dryas.

Significance

A cosmic impact event at ∼12,800 Cal B.P. formed the Younger Dryas boundary
(YDB) layer, containing peak abundances in multiple, high-temperature,
impact-related proxies, including spherules, melt glass, and nanodiamonds.

Bayesian statistical analyses of 354 dates from 23 sedimentary sequences
over four continents established a modeled YDB age range of 12,835 Cal B.P.
to 12,735 Cal B.P., supporting synchroneity of the YDB layer at high
probability (95%).

This range overlaps that of a platinum peak recorded in the Greenland Ice
Sheet and of the onset of the Younger Dryas climate episode in six key
records, suggesting a causal connection between the impact event and the
Younger Dryas.

Due to its rarity and distinctive characteristics, the YDB layer is
proposed as a widespread correlation datum.

Abstract

The Younger Dryas impact hypothesis posits that a cosmic impact across much
of the Northern Hemisphere deposited the Younger Dryas boundary (YDB)
layer, containing peak abundances in a variable assemblage of proxies,
including magnetic and glassy impact-related spherules, high-temperature
minerals and melt glass, nanodiamonds, carbon spherules, aciniform carbon,
platinum, and osmium.

Bayesian chronological modeling was applied to 354 dates from 23
stratigraphic sections in 12 countries on four continents to establish a
modeled YDB age range for this event

Some general information about this.
Current Science is a multidisciplinary journal established in 1932,
published by the Current Science Association in collaboration with the
Indian Academy of Sciences.

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Academy_of_Sciences>

Last year, the editors of the section solicited papers from
researchers in the field of LENR.
These papers went through two reviews, first by the special section editors
and then, if the editors decided to forward the paper, by a normal peer
reviewer
assigned by Current Science.

The anonymous reviewer of my paper was familiar with physics and not with
cold fusion, and was skeptical at first.
Yes, I modified my paper extensively in response to his critique and it is,
no doubt,
better for it.
Apparently, he was convinced, he gave a glowing recommendation for
publication.

There are some very good papers in this collection, and others that are
brief reports on activity in various nations or organizations.

I specially recommend McKubre's paper,
"Cold fusion: comments on the state of scientific proof"

http://www.currentscience.ac.in/Volumes/108/04/0495.pdf

But there are *many* excellent papers.

One might notice that we are not being shy about using the term "cold
fusion."  Times change.

It's fusion, get over it.

("Fusion" is a result, not a mechanism. The mechanism is a mystery.)

Replicable cold fusion experiment: heat/helium ratio

Abd ul-Rahman Lomax*
Infusion Institute, Northampton, Massachusetts, USA

Cold fusion effects have often been called ‘unreliable’,
even by those convinced of their reality. The chaotic
nature of material conditions, so far, has made ordinary
reliability elusive. However, the Fleischmann–
Pons experiment produces more than one effect, and
two major ones are heat and helium. Miles, in 1991,
measured both, and found that they were correlated,
within an order of magnitude of the ratio expected
from deuterium fusion. Miles was amply confirmed,
and precision has increased. While there are outliers,
there is no experimental evidence contradicting the
correlation, and only the exact ratio remains in question.
In this, we have direct evidence that the effect is
real and is nuclear in nature; the mechanism remains
a mystery well worth exploration.

Keywords: Anomalous heat, cold fusion, heat/helium
ratio, replicable experiments.

Introduction

MICHAEL MCKUBRE, in his review of evidence in this
special section, covers research into the original experimental
‘cold fusion’ report, anomalous heat. It is still
common to see mention of ‘cold fusion’ accompanied by
a claim that the experiments could not be replicated. Scientific
papers are still being rejected solely because of the
belief that cold fusion was disproved:

Despite all details provided in the manuscript and the
apparently rigorous procedure, I cannot recommend
publication of the manuscript. The main reason is that
the manuscript and the associated documentation target
the rehabilitation of the cold fusion concept; unfortunately
cold fusion has largely been disproved among
the scientific community. (Anonymous reviewer, 2010,
quoted by Hagelstein1.)

However, since 1991, direct evidence has been available
that the Fleischman–Pons heat effect (FPHE) is nuclear in
nature, stronger than the indirect or circumstantial evidence
(including unexplained heat) found by Pons,
Fleischmann and others. Their experiment is difficult to
replicate, and even in the hands of the experienced, results
may be highly variable. One may search in vain for some
protocol to produce reliable anomalous heat. However,
science can handle unreliable effects, and may still determine
their nature, through correlation, and this has been
done with cold fusion.

The present article does not claim that any particular
reaction mechanism is the source of the anomalous heat,
only that helium is being proportionally produced, as
shown in wide experimental confirmation (e.g. Figure
1)2. In this article, ‘heat’ refers to anomalous heat, heat
measured but unexplained by known chemistry or power
inputs.

Discussion

Cold fusion researchers often counter the ‘non-reproducible’
allegation by claiming that the calorimetry is
good, pointing to many successful results, and, in addition,
cite supporting evidence of some nuclear effect
occurring, such as the formation of tritium and neutrons.
This increases confusion, because there are many such
effects reported but not confirmed, and different experiments
seem to produce different effects. This is circumstantial
evidence, and may not be enough to convince those
reasonably skeptical that nuclear reactions are possible
under the conditions of the FPHE. However, one of the
original mysteries was the ash.

The reaction fuel was and is suspected to be deuterium,
so what is the ash? Because the initial focus was on ordinary
deuterium fusion, there were well-known products
to look for. Half of the reactions would produce helium-3
and a neutron, and half would produce tritium and a proton.
Neutrons and tritium are easily detected. While there
are widespread reports of tritium at low levels, various
transmutations, and neutrons at extremely low levels,
none of these has been found to be even remotely
commensurate with heat.

There is a rare branch from ordinary deuterium fusion,
which produces helium-4 plus a gamma ray. That gamma
ray is not observed with the FPHE.

Melvin Miles, one of the original reporters of replication
failure, as covered in the 1989 US Department of
Energy ERAB report3 was, by late 1989, reporting heat4.
In 1991, Miles announced that he had found helium
correlated with

The Quantum Condition and an Elastic Limit

Frank Znidarsic P.E.
Registered Professional Engineer, State of Pennsylvania

Abstract

Charles-Augustin de Coulomb introduced his equations over two centuries
ago.

These equations quantified the force and the energy of interacting
electrical charges.

The electrical permittivity of free space was factored into Coulomb’s
equations.

A century later James Clear Maxwell showed that the velocity of light
emerged as a consequence this permittivity.

These constructs were a crowning achievement of classical physics.

In spite of these accomplishments, the philosophy of classical Newtonian
physics offered no causative explanation for the quantum condition.

Planck’s empirical constant was interjected, ad-hoc, into a description of
atomic scale phenomena.

Coulomb’s equation was re-factored into the terms of an elastic constant
and a wave number.

Like Coulomb’s formulation, the new formulation quantified the force and
the energy produced by the interaction of electrical charges.

The Compton frequency of the electron, the energy levels of the atoms, the
energy of the photon, the speed of the atomic electrons, and Planck’s
constant, spontaneously emerged from the reformulation.

The emergence of these quantities, from a classical analysis, extended the
realm of classical physics into a domain that was considered to be
exclusively that of the quantum.

Keywords: Atomic radii, photoelectric effect, Planck’s constant, the
quantum condition.

1. INTRODUCTION

One school of thought holds that the universe is constructed of continuous
stuff.

Newton’s laws of motion and Einstein’s theory of Special and General
Relativity operate upon this continuum.

Coulomb’s equation describes the continuous nature of the electrical field.

Maxwell employed Coulomb’s equation and described the wavelike properties
of light.

Another school of thought holds that the universe is constructed of
particle like things.

These things were quantified with Planck’s empirical constant.

Einstein used Planck’s constant and introduced the particle of light.

Niels Bohr showed that an atom’s electrons reside in discrete particle like
energy levels [1]

The philosophy of quantum mechanics precisely describes the lumpiness of
the quantum realm.

This philosophy could not explain why the quantum realm was lumpy.

Max Planck searched for a classical principle that would establish the
state of the quantum.

It has been over a century since Planck’s quest and no classical principle
was discovered.

The Copenhagen Interpretation of quantum physics was introduced in order to
offer some explanation [2-4].

This interpretation describes a probability based reality.

The everyday classical realm, of our experience, is only a subset of this
mysterious reality.

The classically wired human mind cannot intuitively grasp the condition of
the quantum reality.

This quandary has become the accepted norm.


Znidarsic refactored Coulomb’s equation into the terms of an elastic
constant Ke and a displacement Rc.

The elasticity of the electron, like that of a rubber band, is greatest as
it just begins to expand.

It diminishes, from that maximum, with displacement.

The Compton frequency, of the electron, emerges as this elasticity acts
upon the mass of the electron.

In general, the wave like properties of stuff emerge as a condition of this
elastic constant.

It was assumed that the electron has a classical limit to its elasticity.

An electron expels the field of another through a process of elastic
failure.

The displacement, of the elastic dis

<http://www.kurzweilai.net/images/0674731263.01.S001.LXXX.jpg>After
Physics* presents ambitious new essays about some of the deepest questions
at the foundations of physics, by the physicist and philosopher David
Albert. The book’s title alludes to the close connections between physics
and metaphysics, much in evidence throughout these essays. It also alludes
to the work of imagining what it would be like for the project of physical
science—considered as an investigation into the fundamental laws of
nature—to be complete.

Albert argues that the difference between the past and the
future—traditionally regarded as a matter for metaphysical or conceptual or
linguistic or phenomenological analysis—can be understood as a mechanical
phenomenon of nature. In another essay he contends that all versions of
quantum mechanics that are compatible with the special theory of relativity
make it impossible, even in principle, to present the entirety of what can
be said about the world as a narrative sequence of “befores” and “afters.”
Any sensible and realistic way of solving the quantum-mechanical
measurement problem, Albert claims in yet another essay, is ultimately
going to force us to think of particles and fields, and even the very space
of the standard scientific conception of the world, as approximate and
emergent.

Data centers are morphing into computing singularities, albeit large ones.
Silicon photonics will hasten that process. The reason why begins with
Moore's Law.

Gordon Moore's prediction known as Moore's Law
<http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/history/museum-gordon-moore-law.html>
--
"The number of transistors incorporated in a chip will approximately double
every 24 months." -- has been uncanny in its accuracy since he made it in
April 1965. That didn't stop pundits from saying Moore's Law
<http://www.computerhistory.org/semiconductor/timeline/1965-Moore.html> had
a nice run, but like all good things, it was coming to an end. The pundits'
prediction was erroneous, thanks to Intel (the company Moore co-founded).
The reason is light, or more accurately photons.

Moore's Law requires scientists and engineers to continually figure out how
to pack larger quantities of transistors and support circuitry into chips.
It's a challenge, but not as difficult as figuring out what to do about the
by-products of shoving electricity through an ever-more dense population of
chips: heat buildup, current leakage, and crosstalk between adjacent wire
traces.

Multi-core technology

new life into Moore's Law, but only for a short time. Using copper wires to
transmit the digital information becomes the limiting factor. This MIT
Technology Review 2005 article
<http://www.technologyreview.com/featuredstory/404358/intels-breakthrough/>explains
why copper wires were no longer good enough. "The problem is that
electrical pulses traveling through a copper wire encounter electrical
resistance, which degrades the information they carry," states author
Robert Service. "As a result, data bits traveling through copper must be
spaced far enough apart and move slowly enough that devices on the other
end of the wire can pick them up."

That challenge becomes evident when walking through a data center, because
most, if not all, copper-based Ethernet runs have been replaced with fiber
optics. Using *existing* fiber-optic technology will not help Moore's Law

ABSTRACT

A major cosmic-impact event has been proposed at the onset of the Younger
Dryas (YD) cooling episode at ≈12,800 +- 150 years before present, forming
the YD Boundary (YDB) layer, distributed over 150 million km2 on four
continents.

In 24 dated stratigraphic sections in 10 countries of the Northern
Hemisphere, the YDB layer contains a clearly defined abundance peak in
nanodiamonds (NDs), a major cosmic-impact proxy.

Observed ND polytypes include cubic diamonds, lonsdaleite-like crystals,
and diamond-like carbon nanoparticles, called n-diamond and i-carbon.

The ND abundances in bulk YDB sediments ranged up to ≈500 ppb (mean: 200
ppb) and that in carbon spherules up to ≈3700 ppb (mean: ≈750 ppb);

138 of 205 sediment samples (67%) contained no detectable NDs.

Isotopic evidence indicates that YDB NDs were produced from terrestrial
carbon, as with other impact diamonds, and were not derived from the
impactor itself.

The YDB layer is also marked by abundance peaks in other impact-related
proxies, including cosmic-impact spherules, carbon spherules (some
containing NDs), iridium, osmium, platinum, charcoal, aciniform carbon
(soot), and high-temperature melt-glass.

This contribution reviews the debate about the presence, abundance, and
origin of the concentration peak in YDB NDs.

We describe an updated protocol for the extraction and concentration of NDs
from sediment, carbon spherules, and ice, and we describe the basis for
identification and classification of YDB ND polytypes, using nine
analytical approaches.

The large body of evidence now obtained about YDB NDs is strongly
consistent with an origin by cosmic impact at ≈12,800 cal BP and is
inconsistent with formation of YDB NDs by natural terrestrial processes,
including wildfires, anthropogenesis, and/or influx of cosmic dust.

The Younger Dryas impact hypothesis: a cosmic catastrophe
2014 Journal of Quaternary Science

Vance T. Holliday, et al.

ABSTRACT:

In this paper we review the evidence for the Younger Dryas impact
hypothesis (YDIH), which proposes that at ~ 12.9k cal a BP North America,
South America, Europe and the Middle East were subjected to some sort of
extraterrestrial event.

This purported event is proposed as a catastrophic process responsible for:

terminal Pleistocene environmental changes (onset of YD cooling,
continent-scale wildfires);

extinction of late Pleistocene mammals;

and demise of the Clovis ‘culture’ in North America, the earliest
well-documented, continent-scale settlement of the region.

The basic physics in the YDIH is not in accord with the physics of impacts
nor the basic laws of physics.

No YD boundary (YDB) crater, craters or other direct indicators of an
impact are known.

Age control is weak to non- existent at 26 of the 29 localities claimed to
have evidence for the YDIH.

   The Scientific Creed and the Credibility Crunch for Materialism
by *Rupert Sheldrake*, Ph.D; biologist and author of Science Set
Free

The “scientific worldview” is immensely influential because the sciences
have been so successful. No one can fail to be awed by their achievements,
which touch all our lives through technologies and through modern medicine.
 Our intellectual world has been transformed through an immense expansion
of our knowledge, down into the most microscopic particles of matter and
out into the vastness of space, with hundreds of billions of galaxies in an
ever-expanding universe.

Yet in the second decade of the twenty-first century, when science and
technology seem to be at the peak of the power, when their influence has
spread all over the world and when their triumph seems indisputable,
unexpected problems are disrupting the sciences from within. Most
scientists take it for granted that these problems will eventually be
solved by more research along established lines, but some, including
myself, think that they are symptoms of a deeper malaise. Science is being
held back by centuries-old assumptions that have hardened into dogmas. The
sciences would be better off without them: freer, more interesting, and
more fun.

The biggest scientific delusion of all is that science already knows the
answers. The details still need working out, but the fundamental questions
are settled, in principle.
Contemporary science is based on the claim that all reality is material or
physical. There is no reality but material reality. Consciousness is a
by-product of the physical activity of the brain. Matter is unconscious.
Evolution is purposeless. God exists only as an idea in human minds, and
hence in human heads.

These beliefs are powerful not because most scientists think about them
critically, but because they don’t. The facts of science are real enough,
and so are the techniques that scientists use, and so are the technologies
based on them. But the belief system that governs conventional scientific
thinking is an act of faith, grounded in a nineteenth century ideology.


*The scientific creed *

Here are the ten core beliefs that most scientists take for granted.

1. Everything is essentially mechanical. Dogs, for example, are complex
mechanisms, rather than living organisms with goals of their own. Even
people are machines, “lumbering robots”, in Richard Dawkins’ vivid phrase,
with brains that are like genetically programmed computers.

2. All matter is unconscious. It has no inner life or subjectivity or point
of view. Even human consciousness is an illusion produced by the material
activities of brains.

3. The total amount of matter and energy is always the same (with the
exception of the Big Bang, when all the matter and energy of the universe
suddenly appeared).

4. The laws of nature are fixed. They are the same today as they were at
the beginning, and they will stay the same forever.

5. Nature is purposeless, and evolution has no goal or direction.

6. All biological inheritance is material, carried in the genetic material,
DNA, and in other material structures.

7. Minds are inside heads and are nothing but the activities of brains.
When you look at a tree, the image of the tree you are seeing is not “out
there”, where it seems to be, but inside your brain.

8. Memories are stored as material traces in brains and are wiped out at
death.

9. Unexplained phenomena like telepathy are illusory.

10. Mechanistic medicine is the only kind that really works.


Together, these beliefs make up the philosophy or ideology of materialism,
whose central assumption is that everything is essentially material or
physical, even minds. This belief-system became dominant within science in
the late nineteenth century, and is now taken for granted. Many scientists
are unaware that materialism is an assumption; they simply think of it as
science, or the scientific view of reality, or the scientific worldview.
They are not actually taught about it, or given a chance to discuss it.
They absorb it by a kind of intellectual osmosis.

In everyday usage, materialism refers to a way of life devoted entirely to
mate

Former Vice President Al Gore has taken up a vegan diet.

A Forbes article published on Saturday offhandedly mentioned that the
"newly turned vegan" was considering an investment in Hampton Creek Foods,
a startup working to replace eggs with a plant-based formula.

The Washington Post followed up, learning from "an individual familiar with
Gore's decision" that the climate activist resolved several months ago to
give up animal products and embrace a vegan diet.

Gore, winner of the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize for sounding the alarm about
climate change, has faced criticism over the years for eating meat while
fingering the meat industry as a global warming contributor.

Gore's 2006 film, "An Inconvenient Truth," touched on the issue.

"I'm not a vegetarian, but I have cut back sharply on the meat that I eat,"
Gore said in a 2009 ABC interview. "And it's absolutely correct that the
growing meat intensity of diets across the world is one of the issues
connected to this global crisis -- not only because of the [carbon dioxide]
involved, but also because of the water consumed in the process."

Some media reports wondered whether Gore had made the switch in February,
when he requested a vegan meal be prepared by Local Harvest Cafe & Catering
at a book event in St. Louis.

At the time, the owner of Local Harvest said a member of Gore's staff
contacted him with "fairly precise dietary restrictions," but didn't
divulge whether the former vice president had totally gone vegan.

Former President Bill Clinton, with whom Gore served in the White House,
has been a vegan for more than three years.

Clinton said he switched after a scathing email from his doctor after his
2004 quadruple-bypass heart surgery.

"I just decided that I was the high-risk person, and I didn't want to fool
with this anymore. And I wanted to live to be a grandfather," Clinton said.
"So I decided to pick the diet that I thought would maximize my chances of
long-term survival."

NEW YORK, NY, Nov. 6, 2013 – Today, Cisco unveiled a bold new vision and
portfolio for the data center that includes an open ecosystem of partners
that can help business applications perform with faster on-demand agility
for customers.  Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI) delivers the
first data center and cloud solution to offer full visibility and
integrated management of both physical and virtual networked IT resources.

Leading companies supporting Cisco's Application Centric Infrastructure
include: BMC, CA Technologies, Citrix, EMC, Embrane, Emulex, F5, IBM,
Microsoft, NetApp, Panduit, Puppet Labs, NIKSUN, OpsCode, Red Hat, SAP,
Splunk, Symantec, VCE and VMware.

Cisco ACI combines innovation in software, hardware, systems and ASICs with
a first-of-its-kind, extensible application-aware network policy model
built around open APIs. The open set of APIs enables a comprehensive
ecosystem of management, orchestration, monitoring, virtualization, network
service, and storage partners. These partners can use ACI's open and

Transforming I.T. for the Application Economy
John Chambers

(7 Comments)

Applications have become the lifeblood of our economy. They are how
business is done; how partners and suppliers interact; how employees
connect; how consumers share, learn and buy. Every business is becoming an
applications business. Every industry is becoming an application-centric
industry, and the business model shift is only accelerating.  We all truly
live in an application economy now.

And think about this: by 2020 there will be fifty billion things connected
to the Internet. New and valuable connections will be formed between those
things and people, processes and data, creating the next wave of the
Internet -- the Internet of Everything. Most of us will experience the
value of the Internet of Everything through applications. This shift to an
application economy is perhaps the biggest IT market transition of all.

Business leaders are struggling with the pace of change. And Chief
Information Officers (CIOs) feel the pressure more than most. The
complexity of information technology (IT) is slowing down their ability to
enter new markets, to deliver new products and services, to manage risk and
security threats, and to drive more efficiency into their organizations.

Most new application deployments take a month or more to roll out. Upgrades
and migrations often take just as long. When you consider that the majority
of businesses run hundreds of applications, you’ll see why IT is slowing
businesses down and creating unnecessary risk.

Businesses need a new model for IT. A model by which IT moves faster. A
model that makes IT more secure.

Today, Cisco unveiled a transformational approach to data center
infrastructure and operations that will bring the simplicity, security

Another video interview with Russell Brand has gone viral this week, to the
point that even my own national Canadian newspaper, The Globe And Mail, has
had one of its columnists, Elizabeth Renzetti, write about it in this piece
called “Revolution may be a tired word, but Russell Brand has struck a
chord”:

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/commentary/revolution-may-be-a-tired-word-but-russell-brand-has-struck-a-chord/article15096184/

Renzetti correctly points out that if you’re above a certain age, you may
not be likely to have seen the video in question, but that if you’re below
a certain age, Brand’s comments strike directly at the heart of how
disenfranchised, disillusioned, and excluded people feel from the current
geo-political system.

She quotes an illustrative recent statistic that only 19% of Americans
trust their federal government most of the time, compared with 75% fifty
years ago. It would seem that most of us aside from the moneyed few -- the
1% of the 1% especially -- are completely disillusioned with the current
system as it now stands. Comedian and political satirist Jon Stewart has
won a poll as the most respected news source in America, and for one of the
first times in my memory as a young 40-year-old, I am now seeing
celebrities like Brand express opinions that used to be publicly held only
by far left-wing environmental and social activists or spiritual teachers.

What I've noticed in the discussions that have ensued on my own Facebook
posts on this topic is that people over a certain age have been quick to
dismiss Brand’s ideas because they appear ( to them ) to lack specificity,
concrete purpose or planning. But our friend Wayne Ferguson correctly
pointed out the following in a recent dialogue he had with Jerry Katz:

It's unseemly [ to say the least ! -- ed. ] that we would spend a trillion
dollars devastating the lives of people in Iraq and Afghanistan and we
aren't willing to fund a single-payer health-care system in this country.

Russell Brand doesn't exactly know how this is going to unfold, but it is
clear that the status quo won't do. He is much more aware of and sensitive
to reality than the power elite that are only concerned with preserving and
augmenting their well feathered nests.

Brand’s interview with UK journalist Jeremy Paxman is here, and it’s worth
watching in its entirety:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YR4CseY9pk

I have literally been moved to tears by several of the sentiments expressed
in this interview, and also in the editorial piece that Brand has written
for The New Statesman that inspired this interview in the first place. To
wit:

The Agricultural Revolution took thousands of years, the Industrial
Revolution took hundreds of years, the Technological Revolution took tens,
the Spiritual Revolution has come and we have only an instant to act.

Now is the time to continue the great legacy of the left, in harmony with
its implicit spiritual principles. Time may only be a human concept and
therefore ultimately unreal, but what is irrefutably real is that this is
the time for us to wake up.

The revolution of consciousness is a decision, decisions take a moment. In
my mind the revolution has already begun.

Brand had the opportunity to expand on these ideas in his piece in The New
Statesman, below:

http://www.newstatesman.com/politics/2013/10/russell-brand-on-revolution

>From the preceding, here are just a few highlights:

Capitalism is not real; it is an idea. America is not real; it is an idea
that someone had ages ago. Britain, Christianity, Islam, karate, Wednesdays
are all just ideas that we choose to believe in and very nice ideas they
are, too, when they serve a purpose. These concepts, though, cannot be
served to the detriment of actual reality.

The reality is we have a spherical ecosystem, suspended in, as far as we
know, infinite space upon which there are billions of carbon-based life
forms, of which we presume ourselves to be the most important, and a
limited amount of resources.

The only systems we can afford to employ are those that rationally serve
the planet first, then all humanity. Not out of some woolly, bullshit
tree-hugging piffle but because we live on it, currently without

[FRIAM] The universe is a string-net liquid -- Xiao-Gang Wen: Rich Murray 2013.10.22

The universe is a string-net liquid

A mysterious green crystal may be challenging our most basic ideas about
matter and even space-time itself

Zeeya Merali

(March 15, 2007)

In 1998, just after he won a share of the Nobel prize for physics, Robert
Laughlin of Stanford University in California was asked how his discovery
of "particles" with fractional charge would affect the lives of ordinary
people. "It probably won't," he said, "unless people are concerned about
how the universe works."

Well, people were. Xiao-Gang Wen at the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology and Michael Levin at Harvard University ran with Laughlin's
ideas and have come up with a theory for a new state of matter, and even a
tantalizing picture of the nature of spacetime itself. Levin presented
their work at the Topological Quantum Computing conference at the
University of California, Los Angeles, early this month.

The first hint that a new type of matter may exist came in 1982. "Twenty
five years ago we thought we understood everything about phases and phase
transitions of matter," says Wen. "Then along came an experiment that
opened up a whole new world."

"The positions of electrons in a FQH state appear random like in a liquid,
but they dance around each other in a well organized manner and form a
global dancing pattern."

In the experiment, electrons moving in the interface between two
semiconductors form a strange state, which allows a particle-like
excitation (called a quasiparticle) that carries only 1/3 of electron
charge. Such an excitation cannot be view as a motion of a single electron
or any cluster with finite electrons. Thus this so-called fractional
quantum Hall (FQH) state suggested that the quasiparticle excitation in a
state can be very different from the underlying particle that form the
state. The quasiparticle may even behave like a fraction of the underlying
particle, even though the underlying particle can never break apart. It
soon became clear that electrons under certain conditions can organize in a
way such that a defect or a twist in the organization gives rise to a
quasiparticle with fractional charge -- an explanation that earned
Laughlin, Horst Störmer and Daniel Tsui the Nobel prize (New Scientist, 31
January 1998, p 36).

Wen suspected that the effect could be an example of a new type of matter.
Different phases of matter are characterized by the way their atoms are
organized. In a liquid, for instance, atoms are randomly distributed,
whereas atoms in a solid are rigidly positioned in a lattice. FQH systems
are different. "If you take a snapshot of the position of electrons in a
FQH state they appear random and you think you have a liquid," says Wen.
"But if you follow the motion of the electrons, you see that, unlike in a
liquid, the electrons dance around each other in a well organized manner
and form a global dancing pattern."

It is as if the electrons are entangled. Today, physicists use the term to
describe a property in quantum mechanics in which particles can be linked
despite being separated by great distances. Wen speculated that FQH systems
represented a state of matter in which long-range entanglement was a key
intrinsic property, with particles tied to each other in a complicated
manner across the entire material. Different entanglement patterns or
dancing patterns, such as "waltz", "square dance", "contra dance", etc,
give rise to different quantum Hall states. According to this point of
view, a new pattern of entanglement will lead to a new state of matter.

This led Wen and Levin to the idea that there may be a different way of
thinking about states (or phases) of matter. In an attempt of construct
states will all possible patterns of entanglement, they formulated a model
in which particles form strings and such strings are free to move "like
noodles in a soup" and weave together into "string-nets" that fill the
space. They found that liquid states of string-nets can realize a huge
class of different entanglement patterns which, in turn, correspond to a
huge class of new states of matter.

Light and matter unified

"What if electrons were not elementary, but were the ends of long strings
in a string-net liquid which becomes our space?"

A state or a phase correspond to an organization of particles. A
deformation in the organization represents a wave in the state. A new state
of matter will usually support new kind of waves. Wen and Levin found that,
in a state of string-net liquid, the motion of string-nets correspond to a
wave that behaved according to a very famous set of equations -- Maxwell's
equations! The equations describe the behavior of light -- a wave of
electric and magnetic field. "A hundred and fifty years after Maxwell wrote

My first dogmatism in life was modern science, embraced eagerly after my
visit to the Field Museum of Natural History and the associated planetarium
in 1951 at age 9 -- By 1953 science fiction and the news magazines were
making me uncomfortably aware of the extreme hazard of mating newly minted
hydrogen bombs with intercontinental rockets, posing an imminent terminal
threat to all human life and hope -- yet what salvation could there be for
our predictable predicament save an earnestly shared ever evolving
discovery of truth, relying on evidence and reason?

Spirit, scorned as primitive superstition, was banned from the pale of
thought in my mind -- I was partially processed by an eminent temple, The
Massachusetts Institute of Technology -- Taking a year off from school in
1965, I was intrigued by D. T. Suzuki's "Zen Buddhism" and Aldous Huxley's
"Island" -- a dozen years later in 1977, I was ready for a lifetime
challenge, "A Course In Miracles", along with "The Infinite Way" of Joel
Sol Goldsmith -- now 71, I am keenly aware of the cultural intellectual
barriers that make profound spiritual literature opaque to sophisticated
beginners, who have not yet noticed significant subtleties and expansions
of their own awareness, and so lack any experiential toehold with which to
venture upwards in a new way a few inches.

The awesome exponential advances of quantum mechanics and cosmology, which
render the total of all previous progress since 1600 to be the bottom half
of the total for the next decade's doubling, 1 2 4 8 16 32 64 128 times in
a human lifetime ..., is itself a significant empirical clue -- which
testifies that the growth continues... endlessly... while now basic new
notions that derive time itself from a timefree realm are in public play,
suitably dressed in very abstract mathematics -- the fabled naked Emperor's
latest invisible fancy robes... so notions like "no highest upper bound",
invented about 1880, have led to thought exploration, within awareness, of
abstract models of, ah, eternity, infinity, batted about by agile minds,
within awareness -- the minute perfectly hard "eternal", unchanging atoms
which Newton took his bath in and made his bed on have vanished, like the
smile of the Cheshire Cat, into supremely chaotic quantum space-time foam,
incessantly vibrating, with 10 spatial dimensions, since 1980 -- the whole
great observable universe a random "quantum fluctuation" of some sort,
expanding faster and faster for 13.7 thousand million years, since... since
what?

Here we find yet another obviously clue, in plain sight, "the whole time",
in fact, every moment of your life, for "i npl  a i   n   s  ig ht " exists
for you this very moment only as little crooked dark marks in the visual
space of your awareness, while the memory processes add a related stream of
thoughts, called sounds, along with complexly sentient appreciations, all
aspects of awareness, all, resulting from that "glitch" 13.7 thousand
million years ago -- I may be indiscreet in reminding ye that all the
sensations that confirm to you that a body exists, are yet another gang of
shifty thoughts in their own subrealm of awareness -- the tongue lolling
about in the hot tub cave of the mouth -- all this, complete mystery, even
before the advent of new subtleties and expansions of thought within
"higher levels" of awareness...

So, earnest word smiths, pioneer innovators like Mary Baker Eddy, Joel Sol
Goldsmith, Jesus of Nazareth, and modern "nondualists", have had to present
in crudely wrapped packages their various very desirable gifts, which allow
them to inspire others to replicate and thus confirm in direct personal
inner experience their own substantial subjective "scientific" discoveries.

If you, perhaps, are one who suspects there may be or even must be vast
unknowns in awareness available beyond your current horizons of experience,
I testify that a core productive personal research strategy is to decide to
evolve without limit into new territories, in the service of the highest
good for all, while simply asking for help -- muttering underneath your
breath a few time a day, "I need help..." is all that is needed.

You can't find how much hasn't been known, except by starting to experience
new stuff.

There's always new stuff.

It's fascinating how much data can be extracted from tiny samples --
revealing proof of air bursts  -- to my eye, as a complete geology layman,
Google Earth indicates that all of Quebec province and far more have been
scoured by a dense cluster storm of air bursts, instantly removing the km
thick ice cover and leaving a ragged shotgun blast badlands landscape --
such ubiquitous evidence is hard to see, as in the case for central
northern Mexico and for California hilltops from San Diego to Fresno, as
described in detail by Dennis Cox and a bit by me.  Look for cracked,
overturned, and rounded rocks of all sizes, much the same from top to
bottom on the sides of 100-1000 m hills and mountains, with surface glazes
and coatings, say, the NE corner of Santee...

One or more bolide impacts are hypothesized to have triggered the Younger
Dryas cooling at ∼12.9 ka.   In support of this hypothesis, varying peak
abundances of magnetic grains with iridium and magnetic microspherules have
been reported at the Younger Dryas boundary (YDB).  We show that bulk
sediment and/or magnetic grains/microspherules collected from the YDB sites
in Arizona, Michigan, New Mexico, New Jersey, and Ohio have 187 Os/188 Os
ratios ≥ 1.0, similar to average upper continental crust (= 1.3),
indicating a terrestrial origin of osmium (Os) in these samples.   In
contrast, bulk sediments from YDB sites in Belgium and Pennsylvania exhibit
187 Os/188 Os ratios <<1.0 and at face value suggest mixing with
extraterrestrial Os with 187 Os/188 Os of ∼0.13.  However, the Os
concentration in bulk sample and magnetic grains from Belgium is 2.8 pg/g
and 15 pg/g, respectively, much lower than that in average upper
continental crust (=31 pg/g), indicating no meteoritic contribution.  The
YDB site in Pennsylvania is remarkable in yielding 2- to 5-mm diameter
spherules containing minerals such as suessite (Fe-isilicide) that form at
temperatures in excess of 2000°C.  Gross texture, mineralogy, and age of
the spherules appear consistent with their formation as ejecta from an
impact 12.9 ka ago.  The 187 Os/188 Os ratios of the spherules and their
leachates are often low, but Os in these objects is likely terrestrially
derived.   The rare earth element patterns and Sr and Nd isotopes of the
spherules indicate that their source lies in 1.5-Ga Quebecia terrain in the
Grenville Province of northeastern North America.

This is gaining steam! More than 700,000 signatures, thousands of tweets
and messages, and diplomats showing interest. Let's get to a million now!
Here's the email --

Dear friends,

Just weeks ago the kids in this image were gassed to death in their sleep,
but it feels the world has forgotten them and got stuck in a debate between
US strikes or doing nothing. Now there is a glimmer of hope for a peaceful
way to stop these massacres.

Syria's bloody war has been fuelled by rivalry between Iran, Assad's main
backer, and the US and their allies. But this vile chemical attack has
changed their discourse: Iran’s new moderate president condemned the
gassing and Obama signalled he'd work with "anybody" to resolve the
conflict. Let's urgently call on both leaders to sit down to talks and
bring the warring parties together before any more lives are lost.

Right now, the global drums of war are beating over Syria, but if enough of
us make sure Rouhani and Obama know the world wants bold diplomacy, we
could end the nightmare for thousands of terrified Syrian children under
threat of new gas attacks. We have no time to lose. Click now to join this
urgent call -- when we reach one million signers we will deliver the
petition directly to the two presidents:

http://www.avaaz.org/en/solution_for_syria_loc_rb/?tuEqfcb

Syria is one of the most brutal wars of our generation, and this chemical
attack on innocent civilians is the worst our world has seen in 30 years.
The world has a responsibility to protect Syrians from extermination, but
for two years the international community has been shamefully gridlocked
and has failed the innocent victims. Now, despite overwhelming evidence
that Assad’s forces launched the attack, Syria’s backers have sown doubt
and, wary of war, the world is unsure about a humanitarian intervention.
These talks are a new chance to stop the bloodshed.

It's always been believed that the US would never talk to Iran and that
Iran would never help the US solve the Syrian crisis, but current evidence
points to change and hope. President Obama may launch strikes, but he has
no public support for a longer war, and he is looking for a way out of a
sustained conflict. And 130 members of the US Congress are calling on
President Obama to talk with Iran. A massive global public push for
diplomacy right now could push Obama towards talks.

Iran's former President Ahmadinejad spent billions supplying cash and
weapons to the Assad regime. But the new President Rouhani was elected on a
ticket to build bridges with the West and favours a political settlement
with the Syrian opposition. The chemical attack is eroding Iranian public
support for Assad, rekindling painful memories of Iraq’s gas attacks on
Iran, and insiders say pressure is building to reconsider Iran's support
for Assad. This could be a tipping point to bring Rouhani to the table.

Talks won't stop the horror overnight, but there is no quick and easy
solution. We urgently need to get started on a path that can stop the
killing of innocent children and bring the world closer together rather
than tear us further apart. Let’s get the US and Iran to start talks now:

http://www.avaaz.org/en/solution_for_syria_loc_rb/?tuEqfcb

A roadmap has already been put in motion for a Syrian peace process in
Geneva, but this is the first time there could be the political will to
overlook all the differences and sit down. Iran is the only country in the
world with sufficient influence in Syria to push the regime to the table.
Russia, another key ally of Assad, has said it will come to the table. And
the US, with its Middle East allies, can push the opposition to sit down.

It took the horror of the Second World War to get the United Nations and
the Declaration of Human Rights. Maybe the horror of Syria might finally
push the US and Iran, and their moderate presidents, to address
longstanding differences and build the basis for a more lasting peace for
Syria and the region, with consequences for a host of global issues from
nuclear proliferation to peace in Israel and Palestine. Our community has
stood by the Syrian people from the very beginning. Now they need us more
than ever. L

Legal Mediation Project

Because of contact with the Peace Pilgrim's message, lawyers who wished to
find an alternative to the combative, adversarial legal system started
mediation projects such as the one in Dallas, TX.

Through the local Bar Association, the Dallas Mediation Project trained
1000 attorneys as mediators for settling civil disputes.

They have been using Peace Pilgrim's principles since 1987, trying to find
creative solutions and win-win-scenarios for their clients.

They say the difference between mediation and litigation is that in
litigation, the dispute is resolved by somebody "dying", whereas in
mediation, dispute is resolved by everybody finding a solution that they
can all live with.

The project uses the Peace Pilgrim's "golden rule of resolution" as its
primary teaching principle: Have it be your purpose to resolve the dispute
rather than to gain an advantage.

In their first six months, with 1000 cases in Dallas County referred for
mediation, approximately 80% of them settled voluntarily.



In July 2000, the Dalai Lama tried to sum up the impact of her life, for
the documentary film, Peace Pilgrim: An American Sage.
He said, while holding a copy of her book:

Her motivation and activities are effective methods.
Her commitment to propagate peace through actions, the peace walk, without
seeking money or fame, is wonderful.
We need such determined people everywhere, irrespective of culture, race,
religion.
It doesn't matter.
We are all brothers and sisters.
Peace Pilgrim is a real peacemaker.

Abstract:

Previous work has ascribed a cosmic impact origin to black,
high-temperature, carbon-encrusted beds (2–3 cm thick), associated with the
Younger Dryas readvance of ice at 12.8 ka during the Late Glacial in the
northern Andes of Venezuela.

The evidence for this includes carbon spherules, aluminosilicate melt
rocks, melted coatings of glass-like amorphous carbon, and Fe-Mn on sands
and clasts derived from local felsic gneiss and granite.

These sediments have been subjected to renewed investigation using
high-resolution scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive
spectrometry, and new data show that spherules at site MUM7B exhibit unique
morphologies and compositions.

Molar oxide weight percentages prove the spherules are not volcanic and
show little overlap with cosmic materials.

Spherule microstructures display quench melting and, thus, could not have
formed from slow geological authigenic, diagenetic, or metamorphic
processes.

Instead, geochemical values for the Venezuelan samples plot within the
limits of impact-related materials, including tektites, ejecta, and impact
spherules from a number of craters and strewnfields (cf. Chicxulub Crater,
Chesapeake Bay Crater, Tunguska, Australasian tektite field, Lake Bosumtwi
Crater, Ries Crater, and others).

These results are identical to previously reported spherules from the
Younger Dryas boundary layer (YDB) on three continents, North America,
Europe, and Asia, and the most likely origin is from a cosmic
impact/airburst 12.8 ka, as previously proposed.

The MUM7B site is one of the two southernmost sites (Venezuela and Peru) in
South America, thus extending the evidence supporting the YDB impact event
into a new hemisphere on a new continent.

Abstract

One explanation of the abrupt cooling episode known as the Younger Dryas
(YD) is a cosmic impact or airburst at the YD boundary (YDB) that
triggered cooling and resulted in other calamities, including the
disappearance of the Clovis culture and the extinction of many large
mammal species.

We tested the YDB impact hypothesis by analyzing ice samples from the
Greenland Ice Sheet Project 2 (GISP2) ice core across the
Bølling-Allerød/YD boundary for major and trace elements.

We found a large Pt anomaly at the YDB, not accompanied by a prominent Ir
anomaly,
with the Pt/Ir ratios at the Pt peak exceeding those in known terrestrial
and extraterrestrial materials.

Whereas the highly fractionated Pt/Ir ratio rules out mantle or chondritic
sources of the
Pt anomaly, it does not allow positive identification of the source.

Circumstantial evidence such as very high, superchondritic Pt/Al ratios
associated with the Pt anomaly and its timing, different from other major
events recorded on the GISP2 ice core such as well-understood sulfate
spikes caused by volcanic activity and the ammonium and nitrate spike due
to the biomass destruction, hints for an extraterrestrial source of Pt.

Such a source could have been a highly differentiated object like an
Ir-poor iron meteorite that is unlikely to result in an airburst or trigger
wide wildfires proposed by the YDB impact hypothesis.

Subject: were LENRs observed in the early 1950s? Einstein and Bethe got
involved in this saga

Dear Readers:

You may really enjoy reading this amazing tale of a brilliant
LENR-related experimental discovery back in
1951 --- followed by its descent into total obscurity. Simply lost and
forgotten by mainstream physics.

In the history of science, it seems that experimental results that
don't somehow fit within some sort of
contemporary conceptual paradigm often tend to get ignored. Sadly, in
many cases such results are
never reported anywhere in peer-reviewed journals for posterity. In
that regard, this cover note is
combined with scanned page images from Chapter 6 in Dr. Ernest
Sternglass' little 1997 book, "Before
the Big Bang - the Origin of the Universe."

The excerpted page scans from the above book chapter are those in
which Dr. Sternglass describes
some enigmatic experiments that he conducted in the Cornell University
physics department back in the
early 1950s.It recounts his work with an old hydrogen-filled X-ray
tube, as well as a subsequent dialogue
with Albert Einstein in attempting to understand the (then) utterly
inexplicable experimental results.

Seven years ago, Sternglass, then in his late 80s, told me over the
telephone that (before he had
communicated with Einstein about his strange results) the legendary
Hans Bethe had looked over his
experimental data and was totally baffled too. Nobody at Cornell
understood what was happening in the
experimental setup that could possibly produce the observed fluxes of
neutrons (obviously, ultra low
momentum neutrons were not produced in his experiments --- they were
more akin to what happens in
high-current exploding wires as opposed to what happens in typical P&F
aqueous electrolytic cells). So, a
baffled Bethe called Einstein on the telephone and asked him to help
PhD candidate Sternglass evaluate
his unexpected experimental results. The attached chapter taken from
Sternglass' book relates that story.

What is truly mind boggling about this tale is that Einstein simply
looked at Sternglass' data and then
immediately realized that the observed neutron production must involve
some sort of many-body
collective effects with electrons (which we utilize with great
explanatory power in our theory of LENRs).
Can you believe it --- what a mind Einstein had  even at that late
stage in his life!  At that point (1951),
very few physicists really had any idea of what collective effects
were about. Well, Einstein surely did.

Unfortunately, Ernest's bizarre experimental discovery was simply not
pursued any further. In the end,
Sternglass didn't heed Einstein's (and Bethe's) strong advice to "be
stubborn" and publish the deeply
anomalous results. Sternglass' experiments were subsequently lost and
largely forgotten by other
physicists in the ensuing years, just like the work of chemists Wendt
and Irion at the University of Chicago
back in 1922 and other related transmutation work published in
refereed journals circa 1900 - 1927.

Einstein, the only contemporary scientist who had any real inkling of
what might be happening in
Sternglass' puzzling experiments, died just four years after his
interaction with Sternglass on the
unexplained neutron fluxes.

The only surviving document wherein these intriguing experimental
results were ever mentioned was
Sternglass' little book published many years later in 1997. In 2006, I
stumbled across a copy of it in the
$2.99 discount section at Border's bookstore and, curious, just for
kicks picked it up to read over the
weekend. After reading an amazing chapter (see scanned pages), I
immediately called my theoretical
collaborators and said, "You guys won't believe what I just found."
They were equally amazed.

We plan to specifically discuss and explain the 1951
Sternglass/Bethe/Einstein saga in an upcoming
paper; it appears that this experimental anomaly is just another
aspect of LENRs. Perhaps now, after
remaining in obscurity for 60 years, there can finally be some
conceptual closure on Sternglass' long-lost,
unpublished experimental results.

Funny how whole new fields of physics pop up like magic weeds -- Majorana
fermion anapoles may be the dark matter that is 20-25% of all energy-matter
in our bubble, while stars and photons and us are made of ordinary matter,
the last 13,680 million years.

They would only interact more and more with ordinary matter at higher and
higher velocities -- would this put a brake on vehicles reaching near the
speed of light?

Could some kind of ram jet operate to scoop them up and produce thrust?

How might they interact with black holes?

How long before first detection, the first telescope, the first controlled
beam, the first whachamacallit?

We consider dark matter (DM) that interacts with ordinary matter
exclusively through an electromagnetic anapole, which is the only allowed
electromagnetic form factor for Majorana fermions.

We show that unlike DM particles with an electric or magnetic dipole
moment, anapole dark matter particles annihilate exclusively into fermions
via purely p-wave interactions, while tree-level annihilations into photons
are forbidden.

We calculate the anapole moment needed to produce a thermal relic abundance
in agreement with cosmological observations, and show that it is consistent
with
current XENON100 detection limits on the DM-nucleus cross-section for all
masses, while lying just below the detection threshold for a mass 30 - 40
GeV.

So far, three days of vigorous discussions on several Net forums have not
found any of the usual flaws...

Six months of study are planned for this summer.

For business reasons, no details are public about catalysts,  special
waveforms of input electric power for internal heating resistors, and
possible nuclear reactions are given, so theorists have little to work with.

If new unknown nuclear physics exists, capable in small devices of melting
steel in runaway thermal excursions, governments have a mandate to ensure
that the physics is immediately studied in a crash program to assess the
implications for national security and profound rapid human progress.


"Figs. 1-2. Two images from the test performed on Nov. 20th 2012.

Here, the activation of the charge (distributed laterally in the reactor)
is especially obvious.

The darker lines in the photograph are actually the shadows of the resistor
coils, which yield only a minimal part of the total thermal power.

The performance of this device was such that the reactor was destroyed,
melting the internal steel cylinder and the surrounding ceramic layers.

The long term trials analyzed in the present report were purposely
performed at a lower temperatures for safety reasons."

"Fig. 3 shows a thermal video frame from the IR camera: the temperature of
859 °C refers to Area 2 (delimited by the “cross hairs”), whereas the
average temperature recorded for the body of the device, relevant to the
rectangle indicated as Area 1, is 793 °C."

ABSTRACT

An experimental investigation of possible anomalous heat production in a
special type of reactor tube named E-Cat HT is carried out.

The reactor tube is charged with a small amount of hydrogen loaded nickel
powder plus some additives.

The reaction is primarily initiated by heat from resistor coils inside the
reactor tube.

Measurement of the produced heat was performed with high-resolution thermal
imaging cameras, recording data every second from the hot reactor tube.

The measurements of electrical power input were performed with a large
bandwidth three phase power analyzer.

Data were collected in two experimental runs lasting 96 and 116 hours,
respectively.

An anomalous heat production was indicated in both experiments.

The 116-hour experiment also included a calibration of the experimental
set-up without the active charge present in the E-Cat HT.

In this case, no extra heat was generated beyond the expected heat from the
electric input.

Computed volumetric and gravimetric energy densities were found to be far
above those of any known chemical source.

Even by the most conservative assumptions as to the errors in the
measurements, the result is still one order of magnitude greater than
conventional energy sources.

Full Moon Silhouettes is a real time video of the moon rising over the
Mount Victoria Lookout in Wellington, New Zealand. People had gathered up
there this night to get the best view possible of the moon rising. I
captured the video from 2.1 km away on the other side of the city. It's
something that I've been wanting to photograph for a long time now, and a
lot of planning and failed attempts had taken place. Finally, during moon
rise on the 28th January 2013, everything fell into place and I got my
footage.

The video is as it came off the memory card and there has been no
manipulation whatsoever. Technically it was quite a challenge to get the
final result. I shot it on a Canon ID MkIV in video mode with a Canon EF
500mm f/4L and a Canon 2x extender II, giving me the equivalent focal
length of 1300mm.

Woot originated as a hacker term for root (or administrative) access to a
computer. However, with the term as coincides with the gamer term, "w00t".

"w00t" was originally an trunicated expression common among players of
Dungeons and Dragons tabletop role-playing game for "Wow, loot!" Thus the
term passed into the net-culture where it thrived in video game communities
and lost its original meaning and is used simply as a term of excitement.

Thrusters powered by ionic wind as efficient alternative propulsion

Efficiency of ionic wind apparatus have been explored and published years
ago, in 2002, and optimized designs have been analysed. Collection of these

Thrusters powered by ionic wind may be efficient alternative to
conventional atmospheric propulsion technologies

April 3, 2013 by Jennifer Chu

When a current passes between two electrodes — one thinner than the other —
it creates a wind in the air between. If enough voltage is applied, the
resulting wind can produce a thrust without the help of motors or fuel.

 This phenomenon, called electrohydrodynamic thrust — or, more
colloquially, "ionic wind" — was first identified in the 1960s. Since then,
ionic wind has largely been limited to science-fair projects and basement
experiments; hobbyists have posted hundreds of how-to videos on building
"ionocrafts" — lightweight vehicles made of balsa wood, aluminum foil and
wire— that lift off and hover with increased voltage. Despite this wealth
of hobbyist information, there have been few rigorous studies of ionic wind
as a viable propulsion system.

Some researchers have theorized that ionic thrusters, if used as jet
propulsion, would be extremely inefficient, requiring massive amounts of
electricity to produce enough thrust to propel a vehicle.

Now researchers at MIT have run their own experiments and found that ionic
thrusters may be a far more efficient source of propulsion than
conventional jet engines. In their experiments, they found that ionic wind
produces 110 newtons of thrust per kilowatt, compared with a jet engine's 2
newtons per kilowatt.

The team has published its results in the Proceedings of the Royal Society.

Steven Barrett, an assistant professor of aeronautics and astronautics at
MIT, envisions that ionic wind may be used as a propulsion system for
small, lightweight aircraft. In addition to their relatively high
efficiency, ionic thrusters are silent, and invisible in infrared, as they
give off no heat — ideal traits, he says, for a surveillance vehicle. "You
could imagine all sorts of military or security benefits to having a silent
propulsion system with no infrared signature," says Barrett, who
co-authored the paper with graduate student Kento Masuyama.

Shooting the gap

A basic ionic thruster consists of three parts: a very thin copper
electrode, called an emitter; a thicker tube of aluminum, known as a
collector; and the air gap in between.
A lightweight frame typically supports the wires, which connect to an
electrical power source.
As voltage is applied, the field gradient strips away electrons from nearby
air molecules. These newly ionized molecules are strongly repelled by the
corona wire, and strongly attracted to the collector.
As this cloud of ions moves toward the collector, it collides with
surrounding neutral air molecules, pushing them along and creating a wind,
or thrust.
To measure an ion thruster's efficiency, Barrett and Masuyama built a
similarly simple setup, and hung the contraption under a suspended digital
scale.
They applied tens of thousands of volts, creating enough current draw to
power an incandescent light bulb.
They altered the distance between the electrodes, and recorded the thrust
as the device lifted off the ground.
Barrett says that the device was most efficient at producing lower thrust —
a desirable, albeit counterintuitive, result. "It's kind of surprising, but
if you have a high-velocity jet, you leave in your wake a load of wasted
kinetic energy," Barrett explains. "So you want as low-velocity a jet as
you can, while still producing enough thrust."
He adds that an ionic wind is a good way to produce a low-velocity jet over
a large area.

Getting to liftoff

Barrett acknowledges that there is one big obstacle to ionic wind
propulsion: thrust density, or the amount of thrust produced per given
area. Ionic thrusters depend on the wind produced between electrodes; the
larger the space between electrodes, the stronger the thrust produced. That
means lifting a small aircraft and its electrical power supply would
require a very large air gap. Barrett envisions that electrodynamic
thrusters for aircraft — if they worked — would encompass the entire
vehicle.

Another drawback is the voltage needed to get a vehicle off the ground:
Small, lightweight balsa models require several kilovolts. Barrett
estimates a small craft, with onboard instrumentation and a 

Re: [FRIAM] Fwd: [New post] The Loud and Clear Message that the TED Controversy is Sending

[Rich Murray]

Owen,

I lost track of your question -- just used Google -- I like it! ... the
natural resurgence of inner experience in a world religion that is capable,
deep, complex, and subtle enough to evolve radically and swiftly to meet
the remarkable, unavoidable opportunities of these decades:

http://www.taize.fr/en_article15337.html

*We encounter him in the very poor. Jesus had a special love for them.*

“What you do for one of the very least of my brothers and sisters, you do
for me” (Matthew 25:40), we would like to confirm the truth of these words
of Christ for our gathering in 2015.

*We can encounter him when we look to the witnesses who rely on him.*

Let us go, alone or with a few others, to meet and speak with a woman or a
man whose life was changed by an encounter with Christ.

Or let us read together the life of a witness to the faith: Francis of
Assisi, Josephine Bakhita, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Mother Teresa, Oscar
Romero, Alexander Men, and many others.

*They were all very different from one another, each one with their unique
gifts. We should not try to copy them but to see how their trust in Christ
transformed them.*

They had their faults. But they all spoke to God in prayer, even if some of
them experienced inner nights. Friendship with Christ made them free, and
in this way what was best in them was able to flourish.
--
Third Proposal - Look for ways of relying on God
--

*Believing in God, trusting in him, means relying on him. Having faith does
not mean being able to explain everything or having an easier life, but
finding stability and a starting point.*

It means not being dependent on our successes or failures, and thus
ultimately on ourselves, but on Another who loves us.

*Nobody can live without something to rely on and so, in this sense,
everyone believes something. Jesus invites us to rely on God, as he did and
because he did. He teaches us to pray “Our Father in heaven.”*

Silent worship nourishes reflection and understanding. But more
importantly, it places us before and within the mystery of God.

Developing “Sabbath” moments, times when we stop and do nothing, offering
our time to open a nearby church for a couple of hours a week, praying with
others, joining the local Church each week to recall the death and
resurrection of Christ...all this allows God to find a place in our daily
lives.

*In every human being there is an inner life, where light and shadows, joys
and fears, trust and doubt mingle. Amazing breakthroughs can take place
there.*

When we know we are loved or when we love, when we experience bonds of
friendship, or when the beauty of creation or human creativity touches us,
it strikes us that life is indeed beautiful. These moments can take us by
surprise; they may arise even in a period of suffering, like a light that
comes from elsewhere.

*In them we can see, in simplicity, the presence of the Holy Spirit in our
lives.*

In our day, when many experience broken relationships and unexpected
changes in their lives, the relationship with Christ can provide continuity
and meaning.

*Faith does not cause our inner contradictions to vanish, but the Holy
Spirit disposes us to live a life of joy and love.*
--
Fourth Proposal - Be open without fear to the future and to others
--

*The conviction of faith does not close us up in ourselves. Trust in Christ
opens us to trust in the future and to trust in others. It encourages us to
face the problems of our time and of our own lives with courage.*

Faith is like an anchor that gives us a firm attachment in the future of
God, in the risen Christ with whom it binds us inseparably. The Gospel
offers no room for speculation about life after death, but it holds out to
us the hope that we will see Christ, who is already our life.

*Faith leads us not to be afraid of the future or of others any longer.*

The trusting of faith is not naive. It is aware of the evil that is present
in humanity, and even in our own hearts. But it does not forget that Christ
came for all.

*Trust in God brings to birth in us a new way of looking at others, at the
world, and at the future—a way of looking that involves gratitude and hope,
and attentiveness to beauty.*

Trust in God frees us to be creative.

*And then we can sing with Saint Gregory of the fourth century: “You who
are beyond all things, what mind can grasp you? All beings celebrate you.
The desire of all reaches out to you.”*

TED  talks is actually pretty cool.
Although I've been talking nonstop about the TED censorship for the past
couple of weeks, I don't hold a grudge against that organization.  Truth
is, they've been pretty good to me.  They've helped me increase my site
views by 500% over this past month and pushed my blog into the top 5% of
internet blogs in general, by views.  What's not to like?  They have picked
sides in a growing controversy, which has galvanized the pro-psi camp in
ways that have never been seen before.  Indeed, a lot is happening that has
never been seen before and I'm delighted to be in the middle of it.  My
battle was never with TED, it's with the skeptics pulling the
stringsbehind
the scenes at TED.

Which brings me to my point.  The loud and clear message that has been sent
is that there IS a major scientific controversy brewing and institutions,
from TED to all of academia and the media need to stop taking sides.  They
need to step out of the way and let the controversy play itself out or
suffer huge PR 
damageas
a consequence.  The new thing that is happening is that change isn't
coming from within the hallowed, starched halls of academia and within the
confines of scientific conferences, but from the outside.  The ideas that
skeptics so quickly dismiss are gaining mas acceptance and are starting to
redefine the power structure.  From what I can see, this is very confusing
to everyone on the skeptical side of the debate.

(For those not familiar with the debate, it can be oversimplified thusly:
On the one side we have materialists/reductionists/skeptics who see the
universe as a lifeless machine that can be understood by figuring out its
mechanics.  On the other side we have Biocentrists, for lack of a better
term, who see consciousness and life as being fundamental to the universe.
In other words, they see the universe as a giant thought.  You generally
won't hear much about the second theory, but the evidence is much better
than most people realize.  Mainstream science does not acknowledge this
which is pretty much why there's a big controversy.)

Science, after all, is decided by scientists, right?  What gives the
ordinary rabble the right to intrude on discussions about the fundamental
nature of the universe?  This needs to be decided by people with advanced
degrees who have studied these matters their whole adult lives.  Surely
only they have the requisite knowledge to decide?  That certainly holds
true for most areas of science; the public is more than willing to just
accept what they are told.  What makes the psi debate so different?  What
the heck is *happening*?

In a word, this particular area of science is being crowdsourced.  While
people obviously aren't out conducting experiments en mass and publishing
them in scientific journals, they are able to substantially verify
scientific claims such as "there is no evidence for psychic phenomena."  If
this phrase is uttered by a scientist and turns up in a mainstream news
article it is a relatively simple matter to browse the comment section to
find more substantial sources of information.  Often these days, links with
real scientific information will be shared by a knowledgeable person
effectively demonstrating that the statement was false.  This scenario has
gotten pretty common.

It's precisely this kind of thing that has sent TED reeling these past
couple of weeks.  Just a few short years ago, this problem with Sheldrake
and Hancock would have been easily managed.  Drop the speakers, ignore the
few protest emails and proceed as if nothing had happened.  It would have
been over before most of the public even knew what was happening.  What
happened a few weeks ago however, is something that will play out more and
more in the futu

The Real Meaning Behind the TED Controversy
by craigweiler

The current controversy at TED, which pits parapsychologist Rupert
Sheldrake and Graham Hancock against an anonymous board of scientists
is ostensibly about censorship, but the arguments and the passion
involved go much deeper than that.
The battle that is going on right now is the beginning of the end for
materialism as the dominant ideology of the sciences.
It's pretty easy to the evidence of this.

The ground is quickly shifting under the feet of the materialists due
to the increasing numbers of well informed, well educated people who
can refute the materialist arguments and are aware of the evidence for
the primacy of consciousness in physics.
The normal power plays which materialists have used in the past do not
work under these circumstances, but they will still be employed
because the materialists have nothing else in their bag of tricks.
Nowhere is this more apparent than at TED, which has aligned itself
with the old guard materialists and finds itself at a disadvantage
having to defend these suddenly ineffective attempts to control the
debate.

These attempts include:

Having a discussion, but choosing to ignore it and rely on its board
of materialist scientists instead.
Removing both videos from the main page and quarantining both of them
Defaming the the two presenters by claiming their talks were unscientific
Presenting reasons for removing the talks that are so ludicrous as to
be an obviously transparent attempt at ideological censorship
Failing to acknowledge this ideological censorship for what it is
Failing to directly address the rebuttals of both presenters
Holding another debate, and splitting them in two even though the
issues for both presentations were essentially the same
Removing the ability to see the size of the debate or to jump to a
particular section of it without a tedious and difficult process of
sorting and counting
Failing again to directly address the objections of both presenters to
this new format  (there are currently no objections raised against the
presentations, so there is nothing for either of them to debate.)
Creating a situation where their science board will have the last word.
Dragging out the present debate for two weeks to wear down the opposition.
Failing to acknowledge Sheldrake's call for a debate with the science board

This is the first piece of evidence.

Nowhere do you see any show of confidence in materialism in these actions.
It is all evasiveness, stonewalling and general pettiness.
This is not what people do when they know that they are right;
this is what they do when they know that they are wrong.
This behavior is certainly not limited to TED, or to psi or
materialism for that matter.

It's just what people do when confronted with new and uncomfortable
ideas.  (link here.)
http://amasci.com/supress1.html  1997


Nobel Prize winning physicist Brian Josephson had this say about it:
(link here.)
http://www.tcm.phy.cam.ac.uk/~bdj10/mm/articles/heretic.txt  1994

"For the last six weeks, BBC2 TV has been running a series called
'Heretic' (...)

In every case a similar story unfolded:
dismissal of the claims as being nonsense or impossible,
generally without any serious attempt to look at the evidence or the arguments;
the non-materialisation of the honours, promotions, invitations to
give public lectures and so on that such individuals might have been
expected to receive given their past achievements;
violent attacks by other scientists;
and, for some, demotion or withdrawal of research facilities.

The prestige of the individuals concerned and their continuing
competence in other matters is seen as being of no moment:
their unorthodox claims are perceived merely as instances of the
failings to which all human beings are subject.
The sense of self-superiority of the critics in many instances was in
striking contrast to the humility, integrity and sincerity manifested
by workers such as Robert Jahn (an expert in rocket engineering forced
to resign his position as Dean of the Faculty of Engineering at
Princeton University because of this unconventional side to his
research interests and, for a time, not allowed to talk about that
research)."


The second piece of evidence for the end of materialism is that the
internet has changed the game forever.
The materialists, who are in charge, can deny funding, remove whole
journals from common academic search engines, teach only materialistic
science and attack unorthodox claims, but they can no longer stifle
discussion or stop the spread of information.

Re: [FRIAM] You just went to the Google homepage. What actually happened?

Hi Steve,

So that's pretty adventurous in 1991 -- as an Net participant since
December 1995, after doing AOL and Prodigy and local bulletin boards,
I appreciate the fabulous progress since, which is accelerating, from
what I see every day on summaries from Phys.org Newsletter -- no
genius left behind --

Here's one of my longer toxicity alerts, tossed into the global fray last night:


Table 5.2 is the key chart -- ADH1 enzyme at high levels in 20 tissues

[ welcome to a scientific bouquet -- some tasty dishes are presented twice... ]

A liter of diet drink gives the same methanol (wood alcohol) as the
smoke from a pack of cigarettes, 60 mg -- methanol has a half-life in
the human bloodstream of 3 hours, showing that its elimination is
slow, while it reaches every part of the body and the fetus every
minute.

Methanol is actually less toxic than ethanol, except when it goes
easily into cells that also happen to have high levels of free
floating ADH1 enzyme, in 19 specific human tissues, including inner
walls of blood vessels in the brain and eye, as well as in the rods
and cones of the retina -- the methanol is made quickly into free
floating formaldehyde inside these cells, where it naturally wrecks
havoc, interfering with all biochemistry, just as in its well known
uses for embalming and sterilizing medical tools.

The resulting stew of formaldehyde modified proteins activates the
inflammation process of the immune system, producing complex evolving
pussy lesions -- brain in Alzheimer's and multiple sclerosis, inner
walls of blood vessels in atherosclerosis, skin fibroblasts in lupus,
pancreas in diabetes 2, retina in macular degeneration, joint
fibroblasts in rheumatoid arthritis...

Methylation of DNA and RNA leads to cell dysfunction and death, many
later cancers, and birth defects, spina bifida, autism, preterm birth,
Fetal Alcohol Sydrome.

Two key ATP enzymes are impaired in mitochrondria, shutting down
aerobic energy metabolism, leading to reduced metabolism and anaerobic
buildup of lactic acid, resulting in acidosis.

Lattice Energy LLC-Further Technical Details re Gamma Shielding
Mechanism in Condensed Matter LENRs -- March 17 2013

Document Transcript

1. Further details on Widom-Larsen gamma shielding mechanism
Lattice Energy LLC Chicago, IL

Further technical details about W-L gamma ‘shielding’ mechanism in
condensed matter LENRs

More details will now be provided about the Widom-Larsen theory’s
concept of a built-in gamma ‘shielding’ mechanism that we believe
occurs at LENR-active sites in condensed matter systems.

What is referred to as ‘shielding’ in this context is really a dynamic
process of absorption and direct conversion of locally emitted gammas
into many more less energetic infrared photons (has tiny, highly
variable soft  X-ray ‘tail’) at high efficiency while, of course,
obeying the law of conservation of energy.

Importantly, ALL of the many-body particles found within a condensed
matter 2 nm to 100 micron 3-D LENR-active ‘patch’ (in which there is
also a total breakdown of the Born-Oppenheimer approximation)  —
surface plasmon or π electrons; protons or deuterons; produced ULM
neutrons  —  oscillate collectively and  —  key point  —  are mutually
quantum mechanically entangled with each other.

This unique characteristic of LENR-active surface sites is explained
in great detail in several Lattice SlideShare presentations; the
existence of this Q-M phenomenon is well-supported by recently
published, outstanding work by other researchers who operate totally
outside the field of LENRs.

Because of the above, when an ULM neutron is created collectively, its
3-D DeBroglie wave function must perforce span all three spatial
dimensions of the particular LENR-active patch in which it is‘born’.

 During a brief interval of several picoseconds before such a neutron
is locally captured by some atom located with the (we think) oblate
spheroidal spatial boundaries of the neutron’s extended DeBroglie wave
function within a many-body ‘patch’, it is interacting with MANY
different atoms that ‘compete’ amongst each other to capture it (has a
many-body scattering cross-section, NOT 2-body).

Note that only a modest percentage of the total number of
mass-renormalized electrons located withinthe 3-D spatial Q-M domain
of an LENR-active patch will have absorbed enough energy from the very
high (> 2 x 10*11 V/m) local electric field to cross the threshold for
making ULM neutrons by a direct e+ p electroweak reaction.

Most of the heavier than normal electrons are locally present but unreacted.

When an ULM neutron captures onto an atom located inside the entangled
3-D Q-M domain of an LENR-active patch, there is normally a prompt
gamma photon emission by that atom.

Well, remember that the DeBroglie wave functions of the entangled,
mass-renormalized ‘heavy’ electrons are also 3-D, NOT 2-D.

Since the neutron capture gamma photon emission occurs INSIDE the 3-D
quantum mechanical structure of a 3-D LENR-active ‘patch’, there are
always heavy electrons available nearby to absorb such gamma emissions
and convert them directly into infrared photons.

Ergo, it doesn’t matter where a gamma emission occurs inside a given
3-D patch, it will always get converted to IR, which is exactly what
has been observed experimentally.

You will not observe large fluxes of ‘hard’ gammas emitted from such a
3-D patch, no matter which x-y-z direction they are measured from.

The above ‘shielding’ also applies to any gammas that might be
produced in conjunction with beta-decays of unstable, extremely
neutron-rich isotopes that are briefly present in LENR-active patches
before they ‘die.’

The vast majority of these very short-lived intermediate nuclear
products will have disappeared in serial cascades of beta-decay chains
into end-product stable isotopes/elements before the dynamic local
population of heavy-mass electrons goes completely away.

Again, this prediction is very consistent with what is seen
experimentally: with ma

Steve,

I really enjoy and on a deep level trust your sharings with me -- you
are a kindred pioneer, which is a rare treat in my life to find.

I've noticed I'm unable to tell if someone is "far ahead of me", so I
aim at "accepting the fullness of the other's power" and "letting them
all the way in" as my default mode --

my life at 70 is a daily meandering, rather unfettered by scheduled
duties, allowing many daily episodes of deeper experience -- my local
space becomes more open pretty and pleasant -- watching a man
practicing letting the beach wind raise his parawing on my left, and
on my right a lady competently flying a 4 foot hawk shaped kite from
10 to 60 feet up, repeatedly -- on the Net, starting to deepen my
collaboration with an age 25 MD multiple sclerosis researcher in
Isfahan, Iran since Christmas, editing his team's papers in English,
and suggesting ways in which they could rapidly check out the WC Monte
methanol formaldehyde toxicity paradigm, my personal heroic crusade
now for 14 years -- never having studied biochemistry or medicine --
yet able to support intrepid scientists -- you might be interested in
glancing at some of my recent posts, not the notably Woo Woo ones, on
rmforall.blogspot.com , to see me at my linear best...

Hi Steve,

You're already thoroughly innoculated with the meme of nonduality --

The Sparks Before the Explosion:
Special Guest Teaching by Jerry Katz

There's no evidence except direct subjective experience of fleeting

your own awareness -- so the son of man has no place to lay his

Hi Steve Smith,

I enjoyed your spirited, unspiritual missive of misgivings -- Fred
Davis is talking to an ingroup culture called "nonduality" -- there's
a saying in Zen:

two thieves who meet each other at night in a rich neighborhood
recognize each other instantly...

this  "thiefistic" recognition is not necessarily theistic...

It refers to what Dr. John C. Lilly, or maybe it was Dr. Russel Targ,
calls, "state specific communication", which refers to the sharings
between people who are, often deliberately, in a somewhat similar
altered, hopefully "expanded" states of awareness, comparable to the
way jazz musicians often get stoned and improvise music together for
hours at high speed in jam sessions -- these sharings may not be at
all understandable by observers or participants who are not in similar
states at that time -- the writings are designed artfully to guide
more innocent minds down the primrose path beyond the unrecognized,
limited horizons of their experience to date -- now, this particular
piece is superb, which is why I sent it on to Friam, and so is the
piece by Jerry Katz, the link at the end -- well, I've been in the
priceless jewel donation charity since age 23 in 1965, when I read
Aldous Huxley's last novel "Island" -- he died of throat cancer the
day John Kennedy died -- so that work has plenty of same kind of
crafty suggestions, enthusiastic exhortations, and plain good advice
to wrap your mind around.  Call me up some evening in Imperial Beach,
CA, 10 miles south of San Diego, as I can show you quickly how easy it
is to find new levels of awareness in your own mind with gentle
playful conversation  619-623-3468
or ask me anything via email ... puzzled, intrigued, curious?

within the fellowship of service,  Rich

Napier: Not So Fast Bos... Bill Napier answers Mark Boslough dismissal
of comet fragment swarm impact events, CosmicTusk blog: Rich Murray

Napier: Not So Fast Bos….
[ George A. Howard starts... ]

Bill, will you help the Tusk out a bit and provide a response, which I
can post, to the claim below by Dr. Mark Boslough?
There are several ways to approach his statement, but I am interested
in your take.

“There’s no plausible mechanism to get airbursts over an entire
continent,” said Boslough.

Sent from my iPhone, George A. Howard

Response from Bill Napier that day:

You asked me to comment on Mark Boslough’s claim that “There’s no
plausible mechanism to get airbursts over an entire continent.”
As I’ve already demonstrated in the refereed literature that there is
such a mechanism, I’m not sure what I can add!
However, let me try to pinpoint where I believe Boslough is going wrong.
I have in hand an abstract of a talk he gave a couple of years ago and
I don’t suppose his stance has changed much since then:

“The YDB impact hypothesis of Firestone et al. (2007) is so extremely
improbable it can be considered statistically impossible in addition
to being physically impossible.
Comets make up only about 1% of the population of Earth-crossing objects.
Broken comets are a vanishingly small fraction, and only exist as
Earth-sized clusters for a very short period of time.”

~The Bos, Geol. Soc. America annual meeting (21-23 Nov 2010), Denver.

It’s true that comets currently make up a minority of the population
of Earth-crossing objects (1% is extreme but let that pass), but
that’s only at the 1 km level or thereabouts.
As you go to larger objects, the balance shifts profoundly.
For example, there are no 10 km asteroids currently in Earth crossing
orbits, but we do have large cometary Earth-crossers, e.g., Halley at
11 km, Swift-Tuttle at 27 km and so on.
Asteroids of 10 km or more can’t be shifted out of the main belt at a
sufficient rate to account for the large terrestrial impact craters:
the transfer rate is an order of magnitude too slow.
The action lies with the big comets.

Large populations of them have been discovered on the fringes of the
planetary system in recent years, thanks to deep, wide-angle surveys.
Their number is still uncertain, and their orbital dynamics is still
being worked out, but it is recognized that from time to time rare,
giant comets will feed into short-period orbits from these
populations, weaving between the giant planets in unstable orbits
which may lead to their entering our neighbourhood on relatively short
timescales.
They do this for the most part by feeding through the Jupiter family
of comets, that is short-period comets whose orbits are strongly
influenced by that giant planet.

Chiron, for example, which is over 200 km in diameter and orbiting
beyond Saturn, has probably dipped in and out of our neighbourhood
several times in its past.
The half-life for doing so is about 0.2 million years, each episode
lasting a few thousand years.
It probably has several thousand times the mass of the entire
near-Earth asteroid system.
There are several known bodies in this size range and similarly
unstable orbits, and the sample is likely incomplete.
Large-scale orbital computations have shown that they have the
propensity to become Earth-crossers on timescales (each) of order a
million years.

It follows from this that a giant comet residing in a short-period,
Earth-crossing orbit is not uncommon on geological timescales.
There is nothing anomalous about an erstwhile giant comet having been
around say over the last 100,000 years.

This is all by way of background because we know that in fact two such
comets have indeed been around in the recent past.
One is the progenitor of the Kreutz sungrazers, which was probably 100
km across and began to break up 1700 years ago.
The other is the progenitor of comet Encke and the Taurids, which was
probably of similar size but much greater age, at least 20,000 and
perhaps up to 100,000 years.
Kreutz was high inclination and its debris never came our way.
Encke is in the ecliptic and we’re still immersed in the debris, the
Taurid complex.

Which leads to the question: what do we expect from a 100-200 km comet
in a short-period Earth-crossing ecliptic orbit?

“Broken comets are a vanishingly small fraction, and only exist as
Earth-sized clusters for a very short period of time.”

~The Bos

This one sentence contains two profound misconceptions.
First, hierarchic disintegration is now generally recognised as the
major route whereby comets die.
It’s a common process.
Second, ‘Earth-sized clusters’ have nothing to do with it.
We are dealing with concentrations of fragments having, say, 10,000
times the cross-sectional area of the Earth.
For a 100 km comet to undergo disintegration in our neighbourhood
gives us a hugely enhanced impact hazard.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H._Pierre_Noyes  born 1923

[ major player in inventing hydrogen bombs.. ]

Around this time (1972-3), he heard a report from Ted Bastin on his
combinatorial hierarchy work and met with Bastin and his
collaborators: J. C. Amson, C. W. Kilmister, and A. F. Parker Rhodes.
The research conducted during this interaction resulted in the
development of and many papers on finite and discrete physics and
cosmology called bit-string physics.[6]
This work became Noyes’ focus for much of the rest of the century.
His contributions to the new field include:[2]

He showed that show that, thanks to a 1952 paper by Freeman Dyson, the
integer value of ћc/e2 = 137 given by the first three levels of the
combinatorial hierarchy could be given physical interpretation as the
maximum number of electron-positron pairs which could be discussed
within a radius of ћ/2me, using renormalized quantum electrodynamics.

Further, the rest energy of this system (137 x (2mec2)) ≈ mπ could
then suggest that the breakdown of quantum electrodynamics found by
Dyson might be due to the strong interactions mediated by pions.

The same argument extended to the fourth level suggested that the
closure of the scheme at the fourth level, characterized by 2^127,
could be understood as the formation of a black hole with the Planck
mass by that number of baryons of protonic mass concentrated within
ћ/mpc.

Noyes, however, remained profoundly skeptical of these results until a
decade later when David McGoveran showed that the scheme not only
allowed one to derive the Sommerfeld-Dirac formula for the fine
structure spectrum of hydrogen and then to correct the 137
approximation by correctly calculating the next four significant
figures in the inverse fine-structure constant in agreement with
experiment,

but also to correct the value for Newton's gravitational constant

and compute several other elementary particle coupling constants and
mass ratios.

Work with Michael Manthey led to a cosmological model which predicted
long ago that there was not enough matter to close the universe and
that the ratio of dark matter to baryonic matter is 12.7.

 A consistent scheme developed by Ed Jones (Lawrence Livermore
National Laboratories) also predicted a positive cosmological constant
of the magnitude that was only observed in 2011.[citation needed]

He compiled Selected Papers on Bit-String Physics to serve as an
introduction to this new field.[citation needed]

Understanding Retrocausality - Can a Message Be Sent To the Past?,
Richard Shoup, 2011 [slides-PDF, paper-PDF]
Abstract:

We examine why exactly it is that a message cannot be sent into the
past and received there using quantum physics, yet certain anomalous
correlations can make it appear just that way.

To accomplish this, we must first explore more deeply the usual
concepts of superposition, entanglement, measurement, locality, and
causality.

From these reinterpreted concepts, and through analyses of the usual
forward EPR experimental arrangement and a time-symmetrical backward
version, we can better understand the fundamental inadequacy of the
idea of "causality" (both forward and backward).

We also discuss possible explanations for apparent retrocausal
anomalies such as those of the recent experiments by psychologist
Daryl Bem.

Physics without Causality-Theory and Evidence,
Richard Shoup, 2006 [slides-PDF, paper-PDF]
Abstract:

The principle of cause and effect is deeply rooted in human
experience, so much so that it is routinely and tacitly assumed
throughout science, even by scientists working in areas where time
symmetry is theoretically ingrained, as it is in both classical and
quantum physics.

Experiments are said to cause their results, not the other way around.

In this informal paper, we argue that this assumption should be
replaced with a more general notion of mutual influence --
bi-directional relations or constraints on joint values of two or more
variables.

From an analysis based on quantum entropy, it is proposed that

comrade Dan Novak,

thanks for resonating so well with what I wanted to alert family and
friends about -- maybe a new global economy has to always guarantee
free all basic needs, including all education and information
collaboration access, while inviting all kinds of people and their
networks to compete constructively at anything that serves themselves
and others -- the work-play-service itself is its own daily reward --
what I am doing re methanol-formaldehyde toxicity, being a good
example -- I just started posting free conscientious reviews 14 years
ago about aspartame research, anticipating exponential world change
via the Net -- attracting the probable history since fall 2007 where I
am collaborating closely with Woodrow C. Monte, whose breakthrough
methanol-formaldehyde paradigm expands the game from aspartame to all
methanol sources and dozens of major diseases, from Alzheimer's to
autism, which will generate trillions of dollars of benefit as the
paradigm expands and evolves exponentially -- suddenly, the evolving
biological measurement technology makes the scientific confirmation a
trivial, rapid one-expert action -- in this case the process of
applying the paradigm is remarkably simple, cheap, safe, effective for
treatment and prevention -- just avoid all methanol...

President Obama’s first term was absorbed by dealing with the Great
Recession. I hope that in his second term he’ll be able to devote more
attention to the Great Inflection.

Dealing with the Great Recession was largely about “Yes We Can” — about
government, about what we can and must do “together” to shore up the safety
nets and institutions that undergird our society and economy. Obama’s
Inaugural Address was a full-throated defense of that “public” side of the
unique public-private partnership that makes America great. But, if we’re to
sustain the kind of public institutions and safety nets that we’re used to,
it will require a lot more growth by the private side (not just more taxes),
a lot more entrepreneurship, a lot more start-ups and a lot more individual
risk-taking — things the president rarely speaks about. And it will all have
to happen in the context of the Great Inflection.

What do I mean by the Great Inflection? I mean something very big happened
in the last decade. The world went from connected to hyperconnected in a way
that is impacting every job, industry and school, but was largely disguised
by post-9/11 and the Great Recession. In 2004, I wrote a book, called “The
World Is Flat,” about how the world was getting digitally connected so more
people could compete, connect and collaborate from anywhere. When I wrote
that book, Facebook, Twitter, cloud computing, LinkedIn, 4G wireless,
ultra-high-speed bandwidth, big data, Skype, system-on-a-chip (SOC)
circuits, iPhones, iPods, iPads and cellphone apps didn’t exist, or were in
their infancy.

Today, not only do all these things exist, but, in combination, they’ve
taken us from connected to hyperconnected. Now, notes Craig Mundie, one of
Microsoft’s top technologists, not just elites, but virtually everyone
everywhere has, or will have soon, access to a hand-held computer/cellphone,
which can be activated by voice or touch, connected via the cloud to
infinite applications and storage, so they can work, invent, entertain,
collaborate and learn for less money than ever before. Alas, though, every
boss now also has cheaper, easier, faster access to more above-average
software, automation, robotics, cheap labor and cheap genius than ever
before. That means the old average is over. Everyone who wants a job now
must demonstrate how they can add value better than the new alternatives.

When the world gets this hyperconnected, adds Mundie, the speed with which
every job and industry changes also goes into hypermode. “In the old days,”
he said, “it was assumed that your educational foundation would last your
whole lifetime. That is no longer true.” Because of the way every industry —
from health care to manufacturing to education — is now being transformed by
cheap, f

Dear Sarbajit Roy,

I see you know a lot about some pretty tough streets -- thanks for the
sobering assessment.  Here's the volunteer activism I've been doing

mg, which ADH1 enzyme makes into highly reactive acidic hydrated
formaldehyde inside cells of blood vessel walls at base of brain,

This explains why people who never drink suffer more from many chronic
diseases than those who drink about one alcohol drink daily - Ethanol
(ordinary alcohol)  prevents harm from methanol (wood alcohol)
sources, including many dark wines and liquors - aspartame (E951) -
smoke from wood peat cigarettes - fruits juices vegetables, sealed wet
in cans - fermented smoked spoiled foods - fresh tomatoes, black
currants - jellies jams marmalades - some fresh coffees - chewing gum
(often have aspartame) - bacteria in the colon - genetic flaws in
metabolism - vehicle fumes - processed wood products of all kinds -
factories making leather, paper, particle board and plywood, or using
solvents - mobile homes - As long as ethanol is in the blood, the ADH1
enzyme is preempted from turning methanol into formaldehyde right

'Google on steroids': Scientists create chemical brain
August 22, 2012

Northwestern University scientists have connected 250 years of organic
chemical knowledge into one giant computer network -- a chemical
Google on steroids.

This "immortal chemist" will never retire and take away its knowledge
but instead will continue to learn, grow and share.

A decade in the making, the software optimizes syntheses of drug
molecules and other important compounds, combines long (and expensive)
syntheses of compounds into shorter and more economical routes and
identifies suspicious chemical recipes that could lead to chemical
weapons.

"I realized that if we could link all the known chemical compounds and
reactions between them into one giant network, we could create not
only a new repository of chemical methods but an entirely new
knowledge platform where each chemical reaction ever performed and
each compound ever made would give rise to a collective 'chemical
brain,'" said Bartosz A. Grzybowski, who led the work. "The brain then
could be searched and analyzed with algorithms akin to those used in
Google or telecom networks."

Called Chematica, the network comprises some seven million chemicals
connected by a similar number of reactions. A family of algorithms
that searches and analyzes the network allows the chemist at his or
her computer to easily tap into this vast compendium of chemical
knowledge. And the system learns from experience, as more data and
algorithms are added to its knowledge base.

Details and demonstrations of the system are published in three
back-to-back papers in the Aug. 6 issue of the journal Angewandte
Chemie. Grzybowski is the senior author of all three papers.
He is the Kenneth Burgess Professor of Physical Chemistry and Chemical
Systems Engineering in the Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences and
the McCormick School of Engineering and Applied Science.

In the Angewandte paper titled "Parallel Optimization of Synthetic
Pathways Within the Network of Organic Chemistry," the researchers
have demonstrated algorithms that find optimal syntheses leading to
drug molecules and other industrially important chemicals. "The way we
coded our algorithms allows us to search within a fraction of a second
billions of chemical syntheses leading to a desired molecule,"
Grzybowski said. "This is very important since within even a few
synthetic steps from a desired target the number of possible syntheses
is astronomical and clearly beyond the search capabilities of any
human chemist."

Chematica can test and evaluate every possible synthesis that exists,
not only the few a particular chemist might have an interest in. In
this way, the algorithms find truly optimal ways of making desired
chemicals. The software already has been used in industrial settings,
Grzybowski said, to design more economical syntheses of companies'
products.

Synthesis can be optimized with various constraints, such as avoiding
reactions involving environmentally dangerous compounds. Using the
Chematica software, such green chemistry optimizations are just one
click away.

Another important area of application is the shortening of synthetic
pathways into the so-called "one-pot" reactions. One of the holy
grails of organic chemistry has been to design methods in which all
the starting materials could be combined at the very beginning and
then the process would proceed in one pot -- much like cooking a stew
-- all the way to the final product.

The Northwestern researchers detail how this can be done in the
Angewandte paper titled "Rewiring Chemistry: Algorithmic Discovery and
Experimental Validation of One-Pot Reactions in the Network of Organic
Chemistry." The chemists have taught their network some 86,000
chemical rules that check -- again, in a fraction of a second --
whether a sequence of individual reactions can be combined into a
one-pot procedure.

Thirty predictions of one-pot syntheses were tested and fully
validated. Each synthesis proceeded as predicted and had excellent
yields. In one striking example, Grzybowski and his team synthesized
an anti-asthma drug using the one-pot method. The drug typically would
take four consecutive synthesis and purification steps. "Our
algorithms told us this sequence could be combined into just one step,
and we were naturally curious to che

whole Mars water (in surface minerals) relief map -- huge impact areas
with same age fresh craters -- impact with core stream of Taurid ice
comet fragments? Rich Murray 2012.08.21

Hello Ron Baalke,

http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/spaceimages/details.php?id=PIA16083

whole Mars surface relief with water content in surface minerals from
3% red to 7% purple,
with MSL Curiosity at 136.7 -4.3 deg inside NW part of Gale Crater,
1287x967 px tif image 3.6 MB

An absolute geology novice, I was immediately struck by the cluster of
large, uniformly sharp, fresh looking craters in a huge central blue
region with a green edge, -20 to 60 deg longitude -30 to 45 deg
latitude, which in Google Picasa can be magnified with Ctrl + ,  about
four widths,

and similar features in the closeup view that incudes Gale Crater,
at 132 to 144 deg  longitude, -12 to -2 deg latitude

On Earth, such comet fragment storms are megaton level air bursts a
few km above the surface, while in the much thinner gas of Mars, most
would be, at a guess, a multitude of rather clean surface explosions
without prior deep penetration, producing a collective outward surge
of very dense dirty water and steam, comparable to an oceanic shore
tsunami.

On Mars, such regions would show a multitude of fresh shallow simple
craters, with tsunami scale erosion and redeposition, evidence for a
single unique event in time for each region.

I Am, Rupert Spira poem,  Guest Teaching Series, Awakening Clarity

Awakening Clarity

Awakening Clarity is about Self-realization; discovering and living as
who we really are. Whether this comes as event or process, sudden or
slow, requires spiritual practices, or transcends them, has been
argued for thousands of years. Here we are not arguing. It unfolds as
it unfolds. We initially begin spirituality to answer our questions,
but here we are questioning our answers. We are certainly for
something, but we are against nothing. Surrender, not resistance, is
our movement here.

I Am: Special Guest Teaching by Rupert Spira

WELCOME back to our Guest Teaching Series after last week's wandering.
 This is the twenty-third edition of the GTS, and our guest's second
appearance here.  This week's post  is written by my closest spiritual
mentor and beloved friend, Rupert Spira.  He is a brilliant and
luminous man, and both qualities shine through every word of this
work.  It is a pure expression of supreme clarity that comes to us via
a long poem.  Rupert says this poem will end up on his website in due
time, but for now, it's an Awakening Clarity exclusive, and I'm
tickled to death to be able to bring it to you.  Many of you will
recall that Rupert was with us back in January as our first guest,
when the GTS was little more than an idea.

Me introducing Rupert Spira is like a small town mayor introducing the
President of the United States.  The crowd quickly becomes restless
and discontent.  "Get that little man off the stage, and bring on the
President, would you?"  I'm sympathetic to that, thus I promise not to
stay here very long.

WHAT do you say about someone who's barely with us?   I say that
because when you talk to Rupert, hear him, or read him--it's evident
just how little of Rupert is actually present.  He is, as Francis
Lucille says, a transparent being.  Presence flows through him
unencumbered.  In the absence of Rupert, Presence has taken his place.

When Presence appears as Rupert it's always clear as a bell and right
on target.  It is gentle and kind, yet passionate enough to jump you
like a tiger if you try to dodge the truth.  The body-mind we call
Rupert has a huge historical, cultural and mystical context through
which these marvelous teachings are stratified and filtered before
they reach us. The personality, the Presence, and the context all come
together in a heart-awakening presentation that is being felt around
the globe, and right here in my own apartment.  Rupert generates a
deep resonance with the wakefulness lying within each of us--and that
resonance somehow helps to vent off whatever clouds are obstructing
it.

So that's why I love Rupert Spira.  If you're new to this teaching,
you've been missing out on a still-rising mountain of Nonduality, a
spiritual master in his prime; a crystalline carrier of truth.  Of
course, if you have been missing it up to now, the great news is that
it's never too late.  Just join in with us right here, right now,
which is always the perfect place, and always the perfect time.

I want to encourage you to pursue the many links at the bottom of this
page.  They are openings into an uncharted world where fear is unknown
and oceanic freedom abounds.  This path is as straight a lane to the
Gateless Gate as we could dare ask for.  Read this intricate weaving
of wisdom poetry slowly and thoughtfully.  Drink it in, line by line,
verse by verse.  Stop.  And then go.  And stop again.  When you're
done, start over.  It has the power to really move us; indeed it
speaks from Presence Itself, and is inviting us to come Home. It can
help us see the obvious, the self-evident, the simplest thing
imaginable.  Let's accept this invitation together, all One of us.

And now...

I Am

Why is the petition important?

traditional channels for alerting citizens about toxicity issues are
very slow, bureaucratic, arcane, specialized, expensive, and easily
controlled by vast vested interests.

it is time to co-invent new world science and citizen based volunteer
democratic collaborative network channels, that can evolve to be
applied to every toxin.

methanol, in humans only, made into formaldehyde by ADH1 enzyme right
inside cells in 19 specific tissues, causes many modern novel
"diseases of civilization", from Alzheimer's and multiple sclerosis,
to heart and lung diseases, to arthritis and diabetes, to many
cancers, to spina bifida and autism and other birth defects -- we now
have Prof. Woodrow C. Monte paradigm in his book While Science Sleeps
($ 8 Kindle digital version on Amazon.com) and website
WhileScienceSleeps.com -- it is urgent to gather experts to evaluate
the logic and evidence, so the world can be alerted -- methanol
sources include wood peat cigarette smoke, fruits juices vegetables
preserved wet in cans jars plastics, aspartame, some liquors, jams and
jellies, fermented smoked spoiled foods, methanol fuels, factories for
leather paper particleboard plywood, and more -- so, there are huge
vested interests involved -- also dietary traditions -- with decades
of expert ignorance about the real hazards of methanol for humans --
citizens in general can offer their own detailed case reports -- WC
Monte offers a free online archive of 745 full text medical research
references.

What is the text of your petition?

1. enlist volunteer experts to set up an online forum to set a stage
for a practical, fast, open process of orchestrating interlinked open
and open minded public collaborative debates among fully identified
volunteer experts of many kinds to evaluate all aspects of the complex
issue of methanol/formaldehyde toxicity, avoiding bias or sabotage by
vested interests.

2. this core network would enlist enough additional experts to have
adequate power to discuss thoroughly the reason and evidence for
conclusions, accepting that, if complete concordance can not be
reached about some issues, various points of view can be well
presented to serve the overall public interest -- all of this as fully
recorded real-time, publicly viewed, fully searchable, for free by
anyone.

3. this can be an ad hoc process, as the initial volunteers codefine a
mutually inclusive community of respectful collaboration that includes
very different points of view, achieving enough harmony to enlist more
volunteer groups to explore the initial issues... -- in turn, the core
group can encourage these groups to enlist more volunteers to become
subgroups to explore decendent issues -- the natural expanding tree
network of scientific evolution.

Perhaps it is nonduality as we see it emerging that is the religion
"stripped and plain," "of simplicity and scope," as *H.G. Wells* describes
it below. Thanks to* Wayne Ferguson* for sending this to us.

Not sure if I ever shared this with any of you, but I often think that
Nonduality (loosely speaking) is going to provide the context in which this
"prophesy" will be fulfilled (dovetailing nicely with Sufism &
Contemplative Christianity -- not to mention Hinduism and Buddhism).
Eckhart Tolle's popularity marked the point of critical mass -- just a
matter of time now... :-)


*The Future Role of Religion in Education, by H.G. Wells*

*Note:* This is an excerpt from H.G. Wells' *Outline of History*

The overriding powers that hitherto in the individual soul and in the
community have struggled and prevailed against the ferocious, base, and
individual impulses that divide us from one another, have been the powers
of religion and education.

Religion and education, those closely interwoven influences, have made
possible the greater human societies whose growth we have traced in this
Outline, they have been the chief synthetic forces throughout this great
story of enlarging human co-operations that we have traced from its
beginnings.

We have found in the intellectual and theological conflicts of the
nineteenth century the explanation of that curious exceptional
disentanglement of religious teaching from formal education which is a
distinctive feature of our age, and we have traced the consequences of this
phase of religious disputation and confusion in the reversion of
international politics towards a brutal nationalism and in the backward
drift of industrial and business life towards harsh, selfish, and
uncreative profit-seeking. There has been a slipping off of ancient
restraints; a real decivilization of men's minds.

 *We would lay stress here on the suggestion that this divorce of religious
teaching from organized education is necessarily a temporary one,* a
transitory dislocation, and that presently education must become again in
intention and spirit religious, and that the impulse to devotion, to
universal service and to a complete escape from self, which has been the
common underlying force in all the great religions of the last five and
twenty centuries, an impulse which ebbed so perceptibly during the
prosperity, laxity, disillusionment, and scepticism of the past seventy or
eighty years, will reappear again, stripped and plain, as the recognized
fundamental structural impulse in human society.

Education is the preparation of the individual for the community, and his
religious training is the core of that preparation. With the great
intellectual restatements and expansions of the nineteenth century, an
educational break-up, a confusion and loss of aim in education, was
inevitable. We can no longer prepare the individual for a community when
our ideas of a community are shattered and undergoing reconstruction.

The old loyalties, the old too limited and narrow political and social
assumptions, the old too elaborate religious formulae, have lost their
power of conviction, and the greater ideas of a world state and of an
economic commonweal have been winning their way only very slowly to
recognition. So far they have swayed only a minority of exceptional people.

*But out of the trouble and tragedy of this present time there may emerge a
moral and intellectual revival, a religious revival, of a simplicity and
scope to draw together men of alien races and now discrete traditions into
one common and sustained way of living for the world's service.*

We cannot foretell the scope and power of such a revival; we cannot even
produce evidence of its onset. The beginnings of such things are never
conspicuous. Great movements of the racial soul come at first *like a thief
in the night*, and then suddenly are discovered to be powerful and
world-wide. Religious emotion -- stripped of corruptions and freed from its
last priestly entanglements -- may presently blow, through life again like
a great wind, bursting the doors and flinging open the shutters of the
individual life, and making many things possible and easy that in these
present days of exhaustion seem almost too difficult to desire.

Shiva structure: a possible KT boundary impact crater on the western
shelf of India

Sankar Chatterjee, Necip Guven, Aaron Yoshinobu, Richard Donofrio

The abstract describes the geology of a 500 km crater off the coast of
India, including impact signatures.
This is THE MAJOR K/T impact, contrary to the public impression and
lore that the impact was at Chicxulub.
Like the Ames OK structure it produces oil, about 10% of India’s
demand, as of a few years ago.

Probably the two impacts occurred within minutes of each other,
although Gerta Keller of Princeton U has claimed in the past that
there was a 300,000 year interval.
She is an advocate of the controversial Morgan mantle plume theory, as
many official geologists still are.

The abstract is an official publication of Chatterjee’s university,
the Museum of Texas Tech University.
There is a text part and the crater image from gravity anomalies.
 This image also appears in the article ”Shiva crater” in WIKIPEDIA.

[FRIAM] use very thin Pd film cathode as base of long very thin glass tube cell, allowing particles to go down through back to back thin plastic film detector sheet: Lomax: Murray 2012.07.05

use very thin Pd film cathode as base of long very snall glass tube
cell, allowing particles to go down through small back to back thin
plastic film detector sheets: Lomax: Murray 2012.07.05

https://mail.google.com/mail/ca/u/0/#drafts/1384b2a0b5d728a9

Well, friend Abd Lomax, your review is a clear, cogent, very well
presented argument for heat-helium correlation in many DPd
electrolytic cells, to which I have to concede with a "maybe so,
deserves immediate further research" position --

I'm glad to learn you are still trying to show an anomaly or two with
a simple cell that replicates the D-Pd codeposition SPAWAR results --
wouldn't finding large number of particle tracks at the same locations
of back to back thin very thin plastic films be sufficient proof --
one of your great ideas -- especially if the number of tracks grow
with time in different runs, and if you can link that to variations in
input current from run to run.

I now imagine a fixed very small, very thin Pd cathode as the base of
a tiny square or round glass tube holding the electrolyte with the Pt
anode maybe pretty far up at the high end, just to provide plenty of
length to study the electrolyte for bubbles or convection from heat --
the bottom side of the cathode, thin enough to allow a good number of
particles to pass through, rests on back to back very thin detector
films -- then after a run, the micropits in the Pd can be compared
with the tracks in the etched detector films -- allowing conclusive
proof of something happening, whether rare, common or always.

You can do control runs with radioactive grains on the Pd cathode with
and without codeposition.

Next, have a device move the entire cell slowly in an XY raster
pattern during a week run to cover the whole 2D field of a biface
recording film about 1 cm X 1 cm -- then you have a time history of
particle emission tracks to compare to the accumulation of micropits
on the interior side of the Pd film.

Tiny mikes can record microsounds at the edge of the Pd cathode,
allowing software to locate the sources each second with precision by
triangulation.
The webcam and XY scanner would be the most costly components, in mass
production

Instead of doing all this by yourself, focus on assembling an online
network to do it fast, doing public recruitment, fund raising,
planning, execution, analysis real-time online, allowing public
discussion by all comers.

Naturally, study simple magnetic field effects.

within mutual service,  Rich

Well, there's a saying in Zen about swallowing the Niagara Falls in
one gulp -- perhaps a tsunami of verbal arguments by Lomax may float
visions that are plausibly contrary to the visions aired by Murray --
but the possiblities of micro and nano level storage and release of
chemical energy by bubbles on the Pd surface, increasingly rough,
complex and chaotic with time, need to be tested, not just
persuasively discussed.

It's not actually important enough to be worth the effort, my opinion.

My "Zen" comment is that I may be trying to raise the water level in a
well by tossing snow into it.


Returning to, ahem, discussion...

I'm assuming that minute bubbles of O2 would adhere to the Pd by
normal molecular attraction, the Van der Waals quantum interaction of
outer electrons between O2 and Pd, just like bubbles in soda pop or a
glass of water, sticking to surfaces, perhaps forming a hemisphere,
while the ignition would occur very quickly, since rough Pd is a
catalyst -- now, many here can estimate the speed of burning roughly
by invoking the nonequilibrium velocity distribution at the burning
temperature in complex fast-moving nonlinear combustion next to or on
a surface within electrolyte -- too fast for heat dissipation via
conduction or convection --

Great idea. The problem is that as soon as the bubble hits loaded Pd,
the Pd will catalyze immediate combustion. It does that, you know.


A sphere stuck to a surface has radial symmetry, pointing at the
surface -- so my hunch was that a jet or bipolar jet might ensue --

So you have this reaction creating steam at the point of contact of
the bubble and the palladium. This would blow the bubble away from the
palladium.

No, to get a major heat release, quickly, which is what vaporizing
palladium would require, you have to have an explosive mixture in the
bubble. And from what I remember of the math, there is barely enough
energy to accomplish melting the palladium, all of the available
energy must be transferred to the palladium, in that small volume,
with little escape. I don't see any way.


heat transfer would be by radiation and then by kinetic impact of new
H2O molecules moving at many km/sec, the speed inside the fierce
burning in H2-O2 liquid rocket engines -- so one bubble would vaporize
at least it own volume of Pd surfa

[Rich Murray]

well, since 1660 science has grown exponentially, never failing to
display astonishing jumps in universe size, age, fractal complexity of
structure, constituents, weird processes, and recently ten necessary
dimensions of space, all evolving from a single flash within the as
yet unknown source -- so the empirical evidence since 1660 is that the
eternal expansion of science will always grow exponentially -- so the
greater source reality must therefore be capable of allowing unlimited
qualitative and quantitative growth -- so this is a sort of
metamathematical no-upper-bound proof that hints at possibilites of
evolution and sentience far beyond 2012 -- so, if we reason that all
things that interact are thus aspects of a common unifiying higher
system, thus, a single unique unifying higher system, then a "finger
pointing at the Moon" term like "God", points at this metamathematical
reality -- for instance, even within a toy model system, like the
integers, has an infinite number of possible theorems, i.e., as Georg
Cantor pointed out 130 years ago, the set of all possible subsets of
the integers, which can be mapped by all possible linear arrays of 0
and 1, is the definition of the real line continuum C -- as a
corollary, no matter how many unique theorems of interger arithmetic
are proved for billions of years, they will only be a point of measure
zero compared to the ordinary infinity of the integers, or of the
higher order infinity C -- and the Mandelbrot Set shows how this shows
up as a simple 2D fractal.

As a mystic, I say that the present moment of awareness has and is the
entire creative focus of the entire single fractal hyperinfinity --
this is th i  s   i s .. .  ..  .

"After all, ultimately there is just one thing going on.
On that we can all agree."

Awakening Clarity is about Self-realization; discovering and living as
who we really are.
Whether this comes as event or process, sudden or slow, requires
spiritual practices, or transcends them, has been argued for thousands
of years.
Here we are not arguing.
It unfolds as it unfolds.
We initially begin spirituality to answer our questions, but here we
are questioning our answers.
We are certainly for something, but we are against nothing.
Surrender, not resistance, is our movement here

Recognizing Awareness: Guest Teaching by Bentinho Massaro

WELCOME TO THE TWENTIETH EDITION OF AWAKENING CLARITY'S GUEST TEACHING SERIES.
Our growing database of current Nondual teachers and teachings has
already been discovered by thousands of readers from 89 countries, and
more find us every day.
Five new countries have joined us just since the last post.
This website is a remarkable experiment;
I hope it can help to bring a small sense of underlying community to
the far flung Nondual world.

WE DON'T FAVOR any single "brand" of the teaching over any other.
Old path, new path, no path:
whatever works.
I will repeat what I've said before:
We provide the teachers, and you provide the discrimination.
If something resonates with you, great.
If it doesn't, tip your hat and move on down the line.
Differing views are all welcome and respected here.
We are far more interested in the teaching's commonalities than we are
its differences.

After all, ultimately there is just one thing going on.
On that we can all agree.

That truth reminds me of another:
on July 6 we'll have Stephan Bodian dropping in with something special for us.

BENTINHO MASSARO has "come out of the gate" as fast as any teacher
I've ever seen.
One minute I'd never heard of him, and in the next I was seeing him everywhere.
Obviously he's a handsome young man with a stop-your-heart smile, but
that doesn't entirely explain his swift rise as a teacher.
This guy is on fire; you can feel it.
Bentinho's teaching is simple, but precise.
He is absolutely confident that what he's sharing works, and sees no
reason at all why it shouldn't work for us right now.
That level of confidence is quite endearing.

BENTINHO HAS MORE than a passing knowledge of a number of spiritual
disciplines and practices, but he's not pushing any of those those.
He tells us that his teaching arises from his own experience, and asks
us to follow his lead.
He and I agree that everyone must find this freedom for themselves.
I've heard Bentinho stress that all of us -- teacher and student,
writer and reader, speaker and listener -- are all here to support
each other, and that everyone's role deserves equal attention and
respect.
I agree with that, too.
After all they are all just that -- roles.
We don't want to take any of them, especially our own, too seriously.
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust.

I REMEMBER my response the first time I watched Bentinho on a video --
he really moved me in a sweet and gentle way.
Energy flowed through the screen as this thoroughly disarming and
charming young man encouraged us to recognize awareness right here,
right now, just for a few seconds at a time, over and over.
And then he would cut on that smile and you felt he was speaking from
his whole heart with his whole heart.
Surely here was freedom itself encouraging us to also be free.

BENTINHO IS SOMETHING of a world citizen.
He was raised in Holland, but has an Italian name.
He spent quite a bit of time studying in India, but now lives in the
mountains of North Carolina.
He seems to be everywhere at once, and one of those places this autumn
will be at the SAND Conference 2012, where a lot of others from our
Guest Teachings Series will also be appearing.

Here's how he describes the genesis of that on his website, Free Awareness:
"From the very beginning and throughout all this seeking and the
experiences that came with that seeking, a desire arose and developed
to create something efficient for the rest of the

Abstract

The emerging science of evolutionary developmental (“evo devo”)
biology can aid us in thinking about our universe as both an
evolutionary system, where most processes are unpredictable and
creative, and a developmental system, where a special few processes
are predictable and constrained to produce far-future-specific
emergent order, just as we see in the common developmental processes
in two stars of an identical population type, or in two genetically
identical twins in biology.

The transcension hypothesis proposes that a universal process of
evolutionary development guides all sufficiently advanced
civilizations into what may be called "inner space," a computationally
optimal domain of increasingly dense, productive, miniaturized, and
efficient scales of space, time, energy, and matter, and eventually,
to a black-hole-like destination.

Transcension as a developmental destiny might also contribute to the
solution to the Fermi paradox, the question of why we have not seen
evidence of or received beacons from intelligent civilizations.

A few potential evolutionary, developmental, and information theoretic
reasons, mechanisms, and models for constrained transcension of
advanced intelligence are briefly considered.

In particular, we introduce arguments that black holes may be a
developmental destiny and standard attractor for all higher
intelligence, as they appear to some to be ideal computing, learning,
forward time travel, energy harvesting, civilization merger, natural
selection, and universe replication devices.

In the transcension hypothesis, simpler civilizations that succeed in
resisting transcension by staying in outer (normal) space would be
developmental failures, which are statistically very rare late in the
life cycle of any biological developing system.

If transcension is a developmental process, we may expect brief
broadcasts or subtle forms of galactic engineering to occur in small
portions of a few galaxies, the handiwork of young and immature
civilizations, but constrained transcension should be by far the norm
for all mature civilizations.

The transcension hypothesis has significant and testable implications
for our current and future METI and SETI agendas.

If all universal intelligence eventually transcends to black-hole-like
environments, after which some form of merger and selection occurs,
and if two-way messaging (a send–receive cycle) is severely limited by
the great distances between neighboring and rapidly transcending
civilizations, then sending one-way METI or probes prior to
transcension becomes the only real communication option.

But one-way messaging or probes may provably reduce the evolutionary
diversity in all civilizations receiving the message, as they would
then arrive at their local transcensions in a much more homogenous
fashion.

If true, an ethical injunction against one-way messaging or probes
might emerge in the morality and sustainability systems of all
sufficiently advanced civilizations, an argument known as the Zoo
hypothesis in Fermi paradox literature, if all higher intelligences
are subject to an evolutionary attractor to maximize their local
diversity, and a developmental attractor to merge and advance
universal intelligence.

In any such environment, the evolutionary value of sending any
interstellar message or probe may simply not be worth the cost, if
transcension is an inevitable, accelerative, and testable
developmental process, one that eventually will be discovered and
quantitatively described by future physics.

Fortunately, transcension processes may be measurable today even
without good physical theory, and radio and optical SETI may each
provide empirical tests.

If transcension is a universal developmental constraint, then without
exception all early and low-power electromagnetic leakage signals
(radar, radio, television), and later, optical evidence of the
exoplanets and their atmospheres should reliably cease 

Re: [FRIAM] neutrons leaking to parallel mirror universe? Rich Murray2012.06.18

[Rich Murray]

What intrigues me is that very cold neutrons switching spontaneously
out of our realm in seconds via low intensity mirror realm magnetic
fields is a scheme that sounds similar to the Widom-Larson conjecture
in recent years:

strong electric currents creating momentary neutral associations
between protons and electrons, on the surfaces of solids, with zero
overall charge and very low speed, on surfaces where the
proton-electron association can act like a neutron, moving so close to
the atomic nucleus as to enable the strong force to grab the proton,
which emits a positron that combines with the electron, making an
escaping gamma and releasing nuclear energy -- leaving the nucleus
with an added unit of mass, enough in many nuclei like Cu to produce
short-lived radioactives that give off gammas and electrons one by one
via known decay chains, resulting in a stable element with higher
proton numbers...

search Google for Widom-Larson weak interaction transmutation decay chains...

eternal exponential expansion of science is an empirical law that,
given the actual single, fully and intimately unified, creative, fey
fractal hyperinfinity beyond-within all subjective and objective
realms, will forever display unpredictable phenomena on all scales --
just as observed since 1660...  heh, heh...
"Murray's Law"...

neutrons leaking to parallel mirror universe? Rich Murray 2012.06.18

http://phys.org/news/2012-06-neutrons-parallel-world.html

Neutrons escaping to a parallel world? June 15, 2012

In a paper recently published in European Physical Journal C,
researchers hypothesised the existence of mirror particles to explain
the anomalous loss of neutrons observed experimentally.

The existence of such mirror matter had been suggested in various
scientific contexts some time ago, including the search for suitable
dark matter candidates.

Theoretical physicists Zurab Berezhiani and Fabrizio Nesti from the
University of l'Aquila, Italy, reanalysed the experimental data
obtained by the research group of Anatoly Serebrov at the Institut
Laue-Langevin, France.

It showed that the loss rate of very slow free neutrons appeared to
depend on the direction and strength of the magnetic field applied.

This anomaly could not be explained by known physics.

Berezhiani believes it could be interpreted in the light of a
hypothetical parallel world consisting of mirror particles.

Each neutron would have the ability to transition into its invisible
mirror twin, and back, oscillating from one world to the other.

The probability of such a transition happening was predicted to be
sensitive to the presence of magnetic fields, and could therefore be
detected experimentally.

This neutron-mirror-neutron oscillation could occur within a timescale
of a few seconds, according to the paper.

The possibility of such a fast disappearance of neutrons -- much
faster than the ten-minute long neutron decay -- albeit surprising,
could not be excluded by existing experimental and astrophysical
limits.

This interpretation is subject to the condition that the earth
possesses a mirror magnetic field on the order of 0.1 Gauss.

Such a field could be induced by mirror particles floating around in
the galaxy as dark matter.

Hypothetically, the earth could capture the mirror matter via some
feeble interactions between ordinary particles and those from parallel
worlds.

Thank you Chrisw, for your reasonable consideration.

I often, as an informal hobby, note all the surprises about C, carbon,
the sequence of facts, definitions, paradigms, since I first watched
matches and kerosene lattern wicks turn into charcoal in our rented
farmhouse in the pines of Fannett, east Texas, NE of Galveston, from
July 1941-- summer, 1945: coal, pencil "lead", diamond, graphite,
carbohydrate plants and foods, carbon dioxide, smoke, oil, gasoline,
greese, Vaseline, hydrocarbons, the endless pantheon of organic
chemistry, benzine ring, DNA, RNA, proteins, exhalation, carbon
monoxide toxicity, alcohol in all its permutations as drink and drug,
rocket exhaust specific impulse, V-2 rocket, nuclear structure,
isotopes, C-14 dating, C-13 for biological studies, pure isotopes,
C-14 from hydrogen bomb tests causing worldwide cancers, high pressure
studies to ever higher densities for  every decade to find and use
carbon allotropes, odd and even nuclear parity in C nuclei isotopes, C
nuclei beams, methane microwave maser and then CO2 infrared lasers,
interstellar and intergalactic C, C deep in the core of Earth and
large planets, a carbon nuclear resonance vital to the carbon nuclear
energy cycle in the Sun, carbon via the Big Bang, carbon gases
essential to allow the first H and He clouds to cool down by infrared
radiation from their quantum molecular vibrations and rotations and so
allowing the first stars, solar systems, supernovae, and black holes
leading to at least one planet warm enough with the CO2 solar heat
retention process to have oceans and carbon polymers evolving into the
appearance in awareness in your and my awareness-being as these very
little black and white le t  t   er  marks quickly cognized as
subtle and complex meaning conveying patterns of subjectively
experienced ever evolving understandings including the possibility and
eventual personal experience of unexpected higher dimensional phases
of conscious awareness -- while in our daily dream, buckyballs of all
kinds, spheres, rods, ovoids, the last ten years carbon nanotubes
incredibly strong and light, longer and longer until we have the Space
Elevator, and now 2D graphene in all its permutations for physics, a
host of quantum effects, simulation of cosmological theories, ultra
capable molecular scale quantum computers with photons in carbon
nanotubes (not electrons in wires) or quantum spin devices in 3D
crystal volumes, superconducting at room temperature, extending
Moore's Law for many more decades, with all the exponential
ramifications for humans suddenly moving in mile scale high altitude
solar powered air ships, big as ocean liners, spiraling safely and
gently with electric ion drives to orbit within a week, then extending
the ellipse of the orbit to orbit the Moon, Mars, the entire volume
around the Sun, creating solar system size telescope arrays,
harvesting asteroids for water, metals, and, yes, carbon -- and this
is merely what one age 69 geek is capable of saying on 2012.06.06,
online since December 1995 -- note that cosmology now necessitates 10
space dimensions and 1 "time" dimension -- while basic concepts about
causality, space, time, energy, mass are being derived from more
primitive and fundamental comprehensions, like Smolin's Loop Quantum
Gravity and a variety of others, while now it's, ha-ha, possible that
the metauniverse is infinitely fractal in all possible patterns of
basic physics, "carbons", dimensions of spaces and times, life forms,
and modes of awareness-being,
which is here this very mo m  e   nt.. .  .   .. .

And, since January, 1999, I've been a layman volunteer information
activist on the Net, providing 1,650 long, detailed, civil,
conscientious reviews of aspartame toxicity,
aspartam...@yahoogroups.com , which turns out to be the toxicity of
its 11% methanol (smallest organic carbon molecule), which is turned,
in humans only, into formaldehyde by the ADH1 enzyme right inside the
cells of many tissues, starting many diseases from Alzheimer's to
multiple sclerosis, later cancers, and birth defects spina bifida,
autism, and Asperger's.

Modern Italian work is ~theoretically equivalent to Nagaoka’s Electric
discharge with 74W180-186 cathode in alkaline H2O instead of CnH2n+2 +
Hg

 Unaware of Nagaoka’s much earlier work, ca. 2003 - 2004 D. Cirillo
and E. Iorio in Italy inadvertently designed and constructed an LENR
experimental system involving electric discharges and Tungsten
electrodes that, from a WLT perspective, was ~theoretically equivalent
to Nagaoka’s 1920s experimental set-up;

they subsequently observed and reported transmutation products that
were consistent with Nagaoka's results reported in Nature and
operation of the 74W180-seed transmutation network that is described
herein

 Cirillo & Iorio’s modern set-up utilized an “aqueous electrolyte
plasma glow-discharge cell”

 From an abstract broad-brush theoretical viewpoint, main differences
between their new experimental system and Nagaoka’s set-up of 80 years
earlier was that:

(1) in Cirillo & Iorio’s experiments the protons needed to produce
LENR neutrons came from hydrogen atoms in water (H2O) instead of in
transformer oil (CnH2n+2);

and (2) no Mercury (Hg) was initially present in their system, so
80Hg196 + n → 80Hg197 → 79Au197 electron-capture reaction can clearly
be excluded as potential source of surface Gold they observed with
SEM-EDX

 In a section following this one, we will speculatively discuss
intriguing experimental evidence that certain bacteria could be
involved with 74W180-seed network out in Nature

Schematic overview of Cirillo & Iorio’s LENR experimental apparatus
[ Source of Graphic: Nature, 445, January 4, 2007 ]

Comment: this LENR experiment involves formation of a dense plasma in
a double-layer confined to the  surface of Tungsten (W) cathode (-) by
a  liquid electrolyte

Comment on their experimental data:

Unbeknownst to the experimenters, they may have had either Barium (Ba)
titanate and/or Dysprosium (Dy) as component(s) in the composition of
the dielectric ceramic sleeve that was partially covering the cathode
immersed in the electrolyte;

Ba and/or Dy are commonly present in such ceramics.

Under the stated experimental conditions, Ba and Dy could easily
'leach-out' from the _ + surface of the ceramic into the electrolyte,
creating yet another 'target' element that could migrate onto the
surface of their Tungsten (W) cathode.

Since none of the potential intermediate transmutation products such
as Nd (Neodymium), Sm (Samarium), and Gd (Gadolinium) were observed,

it is possible that there may have been LENR ULM neutron captures starting with

Dy → Er (Erbium) → Tm (Thulium) → Yb (Ytterbium),

LENR transmutation products that were also observed in these experiments

Last year I sent some long posts to Abd Lomax and Ed Storms about
recent mainstream research on micro and nano bubbles in electrolytes,
which are common on all size scales, and can be H2, O2, N2, Cl2...

I, and Ludvik Kowalsky, also posted that in the SPAWAR DPd
codeposition runs, when an external DC 6 KV electric field was across
the 2 cm wide square by 8 cm high cell with thin clear plastic walls,
ordinary electrostatics will cause the entire charge to be across the
two thin walls, and zero within the electrolyte -- however microamps
of leakage current through the walls will result in complex low
voltage currents within the electrolyte, its components, and all
surfaces.

Widom and Larsen have cited deterioration of plastic insulation on
underground power cables, fractal "water trees", eventually shorting
out the cable with conducting tree-like filaments, so it is reasonable
to suspect similar processes in the thin clear plastic cell walls at 6
KV DC.

Resulting complex leakage currents will variably produce micro and
nano bubbles of O2 and H2, which can react by collision within the
electrolyte, or by being drawn together on various surfaces, or into
cracks, voids, or tiny filaments, or by O2 bubbles, attached to the
surface, reacting with H that has been loaded as much as 1 to 1 ratio
within the Pd lattice surface.

It is easy to calculate that the H2 with O2 bubble reactions will
release enough energy to melt and vaporize about the same volume of Pd
as the reacting bubbles -- so this is a reasonable probability that
has to be included in any theory that explains the puzzling, complex
micropits that are observed in many different experiments.

The chemical reaction of H2 and O2 is very high, so it is reasonable
to see that, atom for atom, the weaker covalent bonding that keeps Pd
solid would be overcome for more atoms of Pd than the reacting atoms
of H and O.

In the range of bubble sizes from micro to nano, the mean free path of
the resulting hot, energetic, possibly ionized H2O molecules will be
larger than the bubbles, indicating that the reaction will be very
fast, ie, explosive.

Impurities on and within surfaces will catalyze the gas reactions, and
local high electric fields on sharp nano features and from external EM
radiation and surface plasmons will also affect the reactions.

All possible gases have to be considered, including N2, Cl2, CO, C02,
O3, hydrocarbons, plastic components, and vaporized metals.

So, this adds major, complex unknown possibilities to Widom-Larsen
theory and any attempts to test its predictions and interpretations.

All this will increase with time for a cell -- fractal deterioration
of the plastic cell walls, increased leakage currents, increasing
chemical and micro and nano particle complexity of the electrolyte,
evolving fractal erosion and deposition to all surfaces within the
cell, more dust and gases possibly coming into the cell from air leaks
-- so the phenomena within the cell will always be changing, and
sometimes discontinuously.

Varying the prior exposure of the clear plastic walls to UV or various
penetrating radiations, and to reactive chemicals, or making the
plastic surface rougher, using glass or SiO2, changing the DC voltage,
pulsing the DC voltage, or using AC at many frequencies would
necessitate extensive experimental grunt work.

I imagine turning 16 Mpx video chips into myriad low-cost cells by
plating them with, say, Pd or Ni, adding an insulating grid of SiO2 to
make a huge array of very thin nanocells, adding an electrolyte,
capping the array with a transparent conducting thin film, which would
be the anode -- then the time, location, and energy of any nano
reactions can be read out real time from the video array, while a
camera can record and store images of the whole array, zeroing in on
hotspots to record UV to IR, while any emitted radiations can be
detected. Many variables could be studied simultaneously, by varying
them systematically for each nano cell in the arra

What's interesting for me is that in 1995 and 1996, before I became a
pragmatic skeptic about cold fusion research, I spent a lot of time at
many science libraries, finding and zeroxing research from 1900 to
1940 about nuclear transmutations in electric sparks, electrically
exploded wires and a variety of chemical systems -- I had a hunch that
early research probably would have found possible anomalies without
having the power to clearly prove them -- but I didn't have the
technical skills to reach any strong conclusions, so last year gave
several boxes of the  papers to Michael H. Barron

"Same Spent Fuel Pool Designs at Dozens of U.S. Nuclear Sites

So why isn't the NRC and the Obama administration doing more to shed
light on the extreme vulnerability of these irradiated fuel pools at
Fukushima Daiichi, which threaten not only Japan but the U.S. and the
world?

Nuclear waste experts say it would expose the fact that the same
design flaw lies in wait -- and has been for decades -- at dozens of
U.S. nuclear facilities.
And that's not something the NRC, which is routinely accused of
promoting the nuclear industry rather than adequately regulating it,
nor the pro-nuclear Obama administration, want to broadcast to the
American public.

"The U.S. government right now is engaged in its own kabuki theatre to
protect the U.S. industry from the real costs of the lessons at
Fukushima," Gunter said.
"The NRC and its champions in the White House and on Capitol Hill are
looking to obfuscate the real threats and the necessary policy changes
to address the risk."

There are 31 G.E. Mark I and Mark II boiling water reactors (BRWs) in
the U.S., the type used at Fukushima.
All of these reactors, which comprise just under a third of all
nuclear reactors in the U.S., store their spent fuel in elevated pools
located outside the primary, or reinforced, containment that protects
the reactor core.
Thus, the outside structure, the building ostensibly protecting the
storage pools, is much weaker, in most cases about as sturdy, experts
describe in interviews with AlterNet, as a structure one would find
housing a car dealership or a Wal-Mart."

Brad Jacobson is a Brooklyn-based freelance journalist and
contributing reporter for AlterNet. His reporting has also appeared in
The Atlantic, Columbia Journalism Review, Billboard and other
publications.

April 7, 2012

"Mainchi reported on Monday:

The storage pool in the No. 4 reactor building has a total of 1,535
fuel rods, or 460 tons of nuclear fuel, in it.
The 7-story building itself has suffered great damage, with the
storage pool barely intact on the building’s third and fourth floors.
The roof has been blown away.
If the storage pool breaks and runs dry, the nuclear fuel inside will
overheat and explode, causing a massive amount of radioactive
substances to spread over a wide area. Both the U.S. Nuclear
Regulatory Commission (NRC) and French nuclear energy company Areva
have warned about this risk."

OCCUPY’S OPTIONS

The Occupy Wall Street Movement: What to do now?  Next step?  Which way to go?

Consider four pathways –

First, continue mass protests, civic disruption, continue as a MASS
movement, using the confrontative tactics of last year only more so…

Second, form a popular political party and join in the conventional
electoral format, process and environment rife with media polarities;
shift its weight to one of the existing progressive coalitions – like
the Green Party – or some other current democratic-progressive
movement…

Third, focus on the current novel way of doing political
commentary/activism/advocacy, particularly using social media, digital
and web-based, blog-toting and distributed network model like Avaaz,
MoveOn, Common Dreams, Truthout, etc.

Fourth, build on its internal pattern of learning and develop a new
culture, one based on a new spirit, new principles,  a new script and
new articulations of the work that needs to be done…

In the Gandhian vernacular, this movement needs to morph into the
future it wants to see – not just agitate for it -- but be it…  It
needs to be it on all the fronts or domains that manifest a culture…
However you define a distinct culture, whatever parameters one uses to
define it, e.g. a way of being that encompasses work, play, learning,
leadership, integrating ritual(s), governance, education, art and
making, exchange, avenues of growth and expansion, spirituality and/or
forms of interiority – that defining quality or source of inspiration
needs to be there.

We could call this the ‘dwell fully everywhere’ option, the ‘be fully
where you are’ option, the ‘inhabit the invisible field of grace’
option, the ‘embrace the emerging new form of planetary life --
directly in front of you, in your midst’ option, the generative
potentiality of abundance in the field of psychic/spiritual space’
option…

One could argue that that principle could be phrased as an ongoing
revolution, a grounded transformation, a societal healing, an
anarchism (a poly-archism that is sensitive to and harkens to a
plurality of orders in harmonic relation rather than simply disorder,
chaos, dissonance) one that embraces non-violence.  That is, the
discipline and flowering, as in classic non-violence theory, of the
fundamental and spirit-giving harmony between MISSION and means.

One would argue, suggest, that a new culture has the capacity to walk
away from (not fight endlessly against) the old hegemonic pattern,
smile at it, and move in a different direction in which, in the words
of Thich Nhat Hanh, “peace is every step,” with a conscious agenda,
theoria and praxis.  The guiding metaphor would be that of a garden,
and the cultivation of community on all fronts would naturally be seen
as essential compost.  A host of ‘new age’ thinkers and pioneers are
rich and ready as resources in this great adventure.  A new kind of
spiritual practice would allow new possibilities when a reverential
space is cultivated in our midst and the myriad constraints of the old
dualisms are gently put aside.

To repeat, the task is to be the future we want to see…

The shovel that goes into the ground to begin has many names: faith,
hope, love, confidence, daring, trust, the sense of agency, awakening,
the stirrings of true movement, the still, silent voice, creative
discontent, decision, determination, intent, gentleness, tenderness,
gratitude, beginner’s mind (“in the beginner’s mind there are many
possibilities, in the expert’s mind there are few”), joyful mind,
compassionate mind, initiative without permission, action without
credentials or certification, being-in-harmony with oneself,
integrated being, conscious operation, courage, the realization,
galvanizing insight, vision, steps without boundaries, markers (action
at all scales), easefulness, peacefulness, playful spirit,
un-encapsulated wonder, non-fearfulness, the land on the far side of
despair, the pure land, the beloved community, the mudra or sacred
gesture that comes from our heart’s core, trust in the enlightened
goodness that is the potential of our being, non-dual awareness, the
blessing that can only exist when we come to give it away, when we
give it to all creatures, ‘great and small’…

You probably know better ways to describe this spirit of departure and
adventure!

Cheers, Dan Novak

Hi Sarbajit Roy,

I want to know if experts think it is pseudoscience --

Phys.org/news has always been a trustworthy source for science news
for me for a year --

who is  "Meditation EHAN" ?
