seconds
The second or time itself appears to be a very simple topic. Something humanity takes for an established truth. Humanities’ current understanding of time is deterministic. That is one causality event leads to another causality event. Just like falling domino stones. We determine those moments or events relating to a second which means that we measure a subdivision of the second in tenths...
quantum mechanics
According to the great Richard Feynman, no one really understands quantum theory. It presents us with a truly bizarre picture of Reality, a picture that, for a long time, we have only succeeded in making intelligible by supposing that the existence and character of reality depends on our own minds. This view is known as the Copenhagen Interpretation (named after the...
Heisenberg
The uncertainty principle is among the the most famous (and also probably most misunderstood) concepts in physics. It demonstrates that there is a fuzziness in nature, an elementary limit to the things we could know about the behaviors of quantum particles and, consequently, the tiniest scales of nature. Of these scales, the most we can hope for is to compute or calculate probabilities for where things are and just how they are going to behave. As opposed to Isaac Newton’s […]...
Ether or AEther (from Greek and probably from I burn,) a material substance of a more subtle kind than visible bodies, supposed to exist in those parts of space which are apparently empty. So begins the article, ” Ether,” written for the ninth edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica, by James Clerk-Maxwell. The derivation of the word seems to indicate some connection...
Descartes
If you have been the proverbial fly on the wall in Descartes’s bed-room in La Flèche, in southern France, in 1636, you may have watched Descartes laying in bed observing you. His most remarkable idea came to him while observing a fly crawl along a curved path, which he thought about illustrating in terms of its distance from the walls. A...
CERN collider
No, don’t press that button … What if all the CERN’s Large Hadron Collider’s woes are more than bad luck and technical problems? Two noted physicists speculate that the future may be pushing back on the Large Hadron Collider to avert the disaster of observing the Higgs boson. Nothing seems to go right at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Switzerland, with its poor old pointy-headed scientists having to cope with gremlins, explosions, arrests for membership of al-Qaeda (yes, really), […]...
Otto Maier and the attempts of Gross Industries to develop “free energy” stood not alone in the 1920s and 1930s. Take for example the “free energy” invention of T. Henry Moray, which is probably the most famous and well witnessed in the history of the field. The best version of the device would have yielded 50 kilowatts of electricity without using...
Martin Heidegger
Heidegger’s Being and Time (1924), a quickly written introductory volume to a proposed multi-volume project, inspired philosophers for generations to come. What did the enigmatic title refer to? “As regards the title ‘Being and Time,’ ‘time’ means neither the calculated time of the ‘clock,’ nor ‘lived time’ in the sense of Bergson and others,” he explained, years after the book appeared....
David Bohm
David Bohm is one of the foremost scientific thinkers of today and one of the most distinguished theoretical physicists of his generation. His challenge to the conventional understanding of quantum theory has led scientists to reexamine what it is they are doing and to question the nature of their theories and their scientific methodology. Quantum Implications is a collection of original contributions by many ofthe world’s leading scholars and is dedicated to David Bohm, his work and the issues raised […]...

Some Tidbits, a backstory on Otto Maier’s vague experiments in the Harz, the electromagnetic Fields and the research of Dr. Michael Persinger –  Dr. Michael Persinger, a professor of psychology and neuroscience at Ontario, Canada’s Laurentian University, and a well-respected scientist.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Persinger His work with electromagnetic fields and their influences on the human brain includes the use of temporal lobe stimulation...
Otto Maier
Do you know what time it is? That question may perhaps be asked a lot more these days than ever. In our clock-studded modern society, the answer is only a peek away, therefore we are able to “blissfully” partition our days into ever smaller sized increments for ever more neatly scheduled jobs, assured that we will always know it really is...
espionage
Otto Maier vanished during WW2 but he was not the only scientist who disappeared. Dr. Hans Ehrhardt, former name Hans Engelke, went up in smoke in 1963 as published in Der Spiegel on july 24 1963. The article states: a German conman, at best an “amateur scientist”, had unsuccessfully attempted to fleece the Swiss military by pitching a death ray of his very own design. Via the Swiss government’s collaboration with Der Spiegel the story has been exposed to the […]...
