Transmutation is alchemy, the transformation of one chemical element into another. 18th century scientists first figured out that this is impossible; then in the 20th century, nuclear engineers amended this to say that it could be done inside a high energy nuclear reactor. But well before it was reported as impossible, there were already reports … Read more
This is a story of pure math — not what I usually write about — but this story captured my imagination yesterday as I was playing with a simple three-line computer program. The result presented a puzzle that requires only high school math to understand, but has no easy answer. (I presented the puzzle to … Read more
For the first time, a paper has been published in a mainstream physics journal proposing a fundamental role for consciousness in quantum physics. This is long overdue. There are mainstream physicists who are not just refuting it, but demanding that the journal retract the article. The article is interesting in its own right, but more significant is … Read more
Fourier Math and Quantum Uncertainty I’m going to explore some delightful results from pure math, and a head-scratching way that the math appears in basic quantum physics. This may get a little math-y, but please bear with me. I’ll try to keep it (as Einstein would say) “as simple as possible, but not simpler”. Start … Read more
Do vaccines cause more harm than good? Or is there an overwhelming net benefit? Are there some vaccines in each category? Are whole-virus vaccines better than vaccines based on a single antigen (“epitope”) isolated from the virus? Are vaccines more effective against viruses than bacteria, or vice versa? Do mRNA “vaccines” work at all? All these … Read more
Summary In 1997, two independent research groups published their finding that the expansion of the universe is accelerating. The concept of “dark energy” was introduced as a hypothetical source of negative gravity, which would add the acceleration to the standard Big Bang model. Subir Sarkar now claims that the two groups made the mistake … Read more
Some of the greatest health problems in America are traceable to our 80-year-old bioweapons research program. These include, HIV, Lyme Disease, COVID-19, and the steady rise in cancer incidence. The US has by far the largest bioweapons program of any country in the world. We should all be screaming at our elected officials to END … Read more
Since 1964, the Big Bang has been the context for interpreting all of astronomy. The theory has been troubled since 1997 by observations that don’t fit the model. That was the year that accelerating expansion was documented. The most recent observation is that All of Creation is rotating. We don’t even know how to calculate … Read more
The Science of Magic, by Dean Radin, forthcoming October 21 from Random House / Harmony This is Dean Radin’s fifth book about parapsychology. They are all compellingly written. If this is the first time you are taking the paranormal seriously, the information can be transformational. Since 2018, he has come out of the closet, openly characterizing as … Read more
Here are three ideas of how evolution works, which I’ll refer to as Darwinian, Lamarckian, and super-Lamarckian. Darwinian: Offspring are just like their parents except for mistakes and DNA copying errors — mutations that are completely random, caused, for example, by stray cosmic rays. All the functionality that evolves is due to natural selection — i.e., … Read more
