Paradoxismul este un curent de avangardă care se bazează pe folosirea excesivă – atât în spaţiu mic, cât şi la nivel global al operei – de antiteze, antinomii, antipozi, oximoroane, contradicţii, aporii, situaţii paradoxale, plus experimente în literatură, filosofie, artă. Etimologic, evident: paradox+ism. Scopul este lărgirea sferei artistice prin elemente neartistice. Dar, mai ales, creaţia în răspăr, în contra-timp, în contra-sens. Se preconizează că sensul are un non-sens şi, reciproc, non-sensul are un sens. Ca motto se foloseşte paradoxul “Totul este posibil, chiar şi imposibilul!”. Iar emblema este o spirală, ca iluzie optică ori ca un cerc vicios. Direcţiile de dezvoltare cuprind crearea de lucrări literare, artistice, filosofice, chiar ştiinţifice, care să releveze contradicţii, antagonisme, plus experimente în acest scop.

This article is called Ppc GhEEms because it combines the P(oincare conjecture) + p(=mv) + c(=infinity) + G(ravitational constant) + h (Planck’s constant) + E(=hv) + E(=mc2) + ms (spin quantum number). If you start with a stutter and progress to the Dutch pronunciation of “ee” as “ay” in “say”, the article might be called P-peace Games” My aims are to show - a new way of looking at relativistic mass increase and time dilation, infinity has 2 definitions (space-time going on and on forever; and the elimination of all distance), this elimination of distance unites here and there (entanglement) plus past and future (retrocausality) plus quantum mechanics and general relativity (theory of everything), the relation between E=hv and E=mc^2, h and G both apply to mass and to space-time, the warping of space in Einstein's General Relativity was extended by him to subatomic particles, electromagnetism and the nuclear forces may be regarded as modifications of gravitation because all forces are formulated from the same mathematical foundation of the universe, this math basis derives from human development of hidden variables called binary digits and figure-8 Klein bottles (which form the subuniverses - including ours - in the one infinite universe), our remote descendents travel to the distant past via a 5th-dimensional hyperspace and apply this maths which has been glimpsed by string theory to produce the Big Bang, the inverse-square's infinite aspect combines with eternal cosmic entanglement to produce infinity's 2nd definition (simultaneously, a universal intelligence we call God inevitably exists forever), parallel universes require infinitesimal separation and can't exist because of infinity's zero-separation definition, and I suspect Planck could have developed E=mc^2 if Einstein had been born a decade later.

We consider the human thinking from the aspect of life, i.e., from conditions of being alive. Thus, we try to consider cognition how it would be considered in some unconventional outline, i.e., as the functionality of life from within the reference system of life, or, how we perceive world directly. We conjecture that this would give us right to consider mathematical thinking differently, i.e., as an aspect of life and thus in completely unconventional approach.

We forward hypothesis that all what we refer to as mathematics are cognitive aspects of life, moreover, we have right to refer to mathematics as reference system of life (as state of being alive). Mathematics and cognition are not distinguishable between themselves because what we call mathematics refer to the functionality by means of what (or via what) we are created by nature, or by God, be it question of our religious persuasion. Thus, according to this hypothesis, mathematics turns out to be considerably more primary with respect to other sciences than before, when we attributed to mathematics only some role of auxiliary technical tool to help in the description of nature. When we are going to say that mathematics might be considered as reference system of life, we mean that today's mathematics is only some starting state of what might be referred to as mathematics as subject and/or object of reality.

This brief article presents the introduction and draft of the fundamental ideas developed at length in the book of the same title, which gives a challenging point of view about science and its history/philosophy/sociology. Science is in decline. After centuries of great achievements, the exhaustion of new forms and fatigue have reached our culture in all of its manifestations including the pure sciences. Our society is saturated with knowledge which does not offer people any sense in their lives. There is a loss of ideals in the search for great truths and a shift towards an anodyne specialized industry.

Perezgonzalez assessed the nutritional balance of wheat cravers in 2012, as part of a research on the nutritional composition of snacks in New Zealand. The median was located at BNI 55.65 and the middle 68% of products ranged between BNI 45 (P16) and BNI 69 (P84). There was a sensible positive skewness (mean = 58.39, zSkew = 3.68), probably exacerbated by the most extremely unbalanced product within the small sample.

The paper intends to discuss the naturalist strategy used by Hume in his skepticism in the first half of the paper, while in the second half of the paper, it comprises of criticisms to Humean skepticism and Watkins’s critical analysis of criticism taken from different philosophers who are critical of Hume’s approach towards skepticism. The paper also in general makes an attempt to bring out the issue of the development of knowledge in the domain of philosophy of science from the notion of philosophical skepticism , which in this paper focuses on Humean skepticism only. In short, the paper will reply to two questions i,e. (a) What is Hume’s naturalist strategy to deal with skepticism? and (b) How does Watkins criticize it?

In Canada, as in many other developed nations, natural resource development projects meeting certain criteria are required to undergo an environmental assessment (EA) process to determine potential human and ecological health impacts. As part of the Canadian EA process, the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency generally considers submissions by members of the public and experts. While the allowance of external submissions during EA hearings forms an important component of a functional participatory democracy, little attention appears to have been given regarding the quality of such EA submissions. In particular, submissions to EA hearings by prominent individuals and/or groups may be weighted more heavily in the overall decision making framework than those from non-experts. Important questions arise through the allowance and consideration of external submissions to EAs, such as whether inaccuracies in any such submissions may misdirect the EA decision makers to reach erroneous conclusions, and if such inaccuracies do result in sub-optimal EA processes, how the issues should be addressed. In the current work, a representative recent external submission from a prominent public individual and group to the Shell Canada Jackpine Mine Expansion (JPME) Project EA hearings was examined. The case study submission to the JPME EA hearings appears to contain a number of significant scientific errors and/or ambiguities, demonstrating that the EA process in Canada appears to allow potentially flawed submissions from prominent individuals and/or groups, and these problematic submissions may result in unnecessary delays, expenses, or even erroneous decisions. From a public policy perspective, it is desirable that the Canadian EA process be reformed to minimize contributions that may not result in an accurate assessment of the underlying science for the project(s) under consideration.

Dark Matter, according to Theoretical Physics and Quantum Physics, is believed to be matter that composes a large amount of mass in our universe. Dark Matter can not be see with telescopes and it is believed to not emit light or electromagnetic radiation at any level. My hypothesis on Dark Matter is that it is that every thing is composed of it but dark matter can be different at some accounts. For example the matter that we are composed off are many atoms and particles that make up the cells of life. However the matter that the universe is composed off can be made out of different subatomic particles such as ones of lighter and ones heavier depending on the object or element that dark matter is composed off. I also think that trying to characterize everything as a composition of a single type of dark matter is scientifically incorrect.

Propaganda is a process of manipulation as well as persuasion by using advertising to help the winning candidate. Propaganda is not a type of word play but it is commonly used in political science as well as business and psychology. We all look at propaganda as marketing strategy whether someone is advertising for a political candidate, or for the next, “miracle product”. In the innovation industry, an inventor needs to find out the most cost efficient way to market an idea to entrepreneurs without spending a fortune. Propaganda is sometimes helpful and sometimes not. The main problem is that Propaganda is often considered bias or giving a richer candidate or marketer a higher advantage of winning over the others. A common technique in a presidential election is to insult the other candidates through name calling or mudslides, this is a way of manipulation and deception as well as a commonly thought out method of, “sneezy” advertising mainly because it is used more often in the liberal parties rather than the conservative political parties. Many people think it doesn’t make a difference but insulting the candidate can have up to an 80% difference on voter’s choice. This can let someone who did much worse things to the economy win just because of forms of advertising. This is all a type of marketing strategy. For example, president Obama provided an 8.4mil dollar loan to Google, in exchange they play his advertisements at least an average of 100 times on every monetized video on youtube, this may not seem like much but actually gave him exposure to over 380 mil people a month on that website alone. John Dunn, a major political theorist in cambridge, believes that advertising is one of the main reasons of a politician win, regardless of his moral value. However, this form of advertising can also be used in conservative parties as well, but most conservative parties use methods of repetition or bandwagon based on the idea of their views on the economy. The 8 types of propaganda include: Bandwagon (Everyone else has this hottest new product on the market), Plain Folks (This guy came from a small town and won the heart of america more than once, who thinks he wouldn’t win again, he is a citizen like you and me.), Testimonial (Wow you can get two for the price of one! You will never find this anywhere else!), Transfer (When you go into that ballot tonight, who do you think God would vote for!), Fear (This man is an anarchist and he will ruin your economy, kicking you and your children out of your own homes, vote for the right choice, the choice that will bring this country back up on the right track), Logical Fallacies (RFID Tags are implemented in the hand or the forehead, RFID Tags implements the number 666, RFID Tags are the mark of the beast), Glittering Generalities (We have right as americans and as people of democracy, vote no on proposal 62), Name-Calling (Do you want a weak, bully to run this country, or someone who actually got somewhere in life?).

I will also make sure to talk about nuclear power and its harms and benefits as well as designs that can shorten usages and causes of radiation. The largest source of radiation is radioactive material found in soil. The second largest source of radiation is man-made radiation which is emitted in our everyday lives. "It is said that we literally live in a sea of radiation," says Dr.Dade W. Moeller. It is said that the largest sources for man made radiation are the United States, Russia, China, Japan, and the UK. This ranks the United States the highest source of radiation emitters, meaning that we cause much man made radiation in the public alone.

Supplies of per capita renewable internal freshwater resources are declining at alarming rates around the globe, necessitating efforts to better manage population growth and the use and distribution of freshwater. All major geographic regions saw substantial reductions in per capita renewable internal freshwater supplies between 1962 and 2011. Over this period, the global per capita freshwater stock declined by 54%, with decreases of 75% in Sub-Saharan Africa, 71% in the Middle East and North Africa, 64% in South Asia, 61% in Latin America and the Caribbean, 52% in East Asia and the Pacific, and 41% in North America. At current rates of depletion, global per capita renewable internal freshwater resources are projected to decline by 65% compared to 1962 values before stabilizing, having regional variation ranging from 60% in East Asia and the Pacific to 86% of the Middle East and North Africa. Sub-Saharan Africa is predicted to reach a negative per capita renewable internal freshwater balance by the year 2120. Per capita renewable internal freshwater resources are declining more rapidly in low income countries than their middle and high income counterparts. All countries except Hungary and Bulgaria experienced declines in their per capita renewable internal freshwater supply between 1962 and 2011. Most countries (55%) experienced a decline of between 60% to 80% in per capita renewable internal freshwater resources over this period. The majority of nations are projected to maintain positive per capita renewable internal freshwater balances under steady-state conditions, although overall declines of between 80% to almost 100% from 1962 levels are dominant (~52% of all countries). A group of 28 nations is projected to reach zero per capita internal freshwater resources within the near future. African countries dominate the list of nations projected to reach zero per capita internal freshwater resources, comprising 16 of the 28 countries - of which six are landlocked. A further group of 25 nations have data records that are too short, and recent population dynamics that are generally too complex, for reliable trend extrapolation. Close attention will need to be paid to the per capita renewable internal freshwater resource trends for these countries over the coming decades in order to obtain a better understanding of their resource depletion rates.

Stoichiometry is one of the most major branches in chemistry that deals with the relative qualities and quantities of reactants and products in chemical reactions. Stoichiometry is based on the "Law of Conservation of Mass". Stoichiometry is broke into the subjects of: Reaction Stoichiometry and Composition Stoichiometry. Reaction Stoichiometry describe relationships of substances during a chemical reaction. Composition Stoichiometry describes the quantitative mass among elements and its relationship with compounds. Next their is Gas Stoichiometry which is part of Reaction Stoichiometry. Gas Stoichiometry involves chemicals and compounds in its relationship that involves gases, such as steam or burning magnesium. The term Stoichiometry itself derives from the greek word, "stoicheion metron", which means element measure or measurement of an element. Stoichiometry relies on scientific laws in chemistry to understand things better. The main use of Stoichiometry is to balance equations in chemical reactants.

Comments: 11 Pages. "Chrono Logic" is a conceptual link of General Science and Philosophy, that some scholars required and would appreciate - in English - to "The Time and The All", printed, in Italian, on General Physics, on Vixra as well.
The Chrono Logic is the operational 'gravitational' abstract logic force that shapes the time conceived as an oriented dimensional field.
To help imagine such a concept, let us imagine a non-paved country muddy street, lined with the footprints of animals, people and charts that have stepped into the muddy clay in different times.
We can read in the dried materialized footprints the rhythmic cycles of walking people or wheeling charts.
Investigative Police could even find relevant evidence for a Court, in analyzing the dried footprints, just like technological videocamera record the robbers of the night before at the nearby Seven Eleven market shop.
A visionary philosopher of science, Giorgio Fabretti, even conceived the whole material universe as an immense footprint left by Logic in the Memory of Time, that is in the moldable clay of Time, whose Memory consists in its capacity of drying up and keeping witness of what happened.
But why Time would need to materialize in dried footprints?
The answer is "Logic".
In fact, Logic is a "Concept that wants to become Reality".
It is a biblical meaning, much more ancient than Greek classical philosophy. Having the creational definition of implementing a design, Logic tends at least to confirm itself by becoming dynamic, and so generating its time dimension.
In the Greek Pagan Olimpus, leading gods had Chronos as a specialized god to serve and implement their divine designs on a mundane scale.
The most advanced experimental physicists, who invented the atomic bomb and the computerized network to defend themselves from its destruction, have not developed a conception of the universe radically different from Biblical or from Greek ancestors.
In contemporary natural sciences, the material reality is still a footprint of Logos on the Memory of Time.
Now that you have heard this concept, it might seem as obvious as the password of your Credit Card. But, ask a thief to guess your password! How long would him take to guess? You might be waiting as long as your dog needs to typewrite by chance the Divine Comedy on your computer.
It maybe took centuries before a philosopher and a scientist, Giorgio Fabretti, could climb on the shoulder of many scientists and discoveries, and see the 'ethical theory' of Synchronic Materialism (including Chrono Logic), theoretically leading to such a password definition of Logic and Time: where Time (Operational Chrono) serves the material purposes (Memory) of an excited logical field (Logic) oriented (Ethics) toward (Dynamic Time) a pristine equilibrium (Design.
It is an elaborated cognitive historical anthropological equivalent, of the 'restored symmetry in the Big Bang vision', in theoretical physics.
At the same time it is an elaboration of a computational vision of the material universe, as a 'classroom board', working as a flash memory for the teacher, to develop algebraic equations for his students till the final result.
After the lesson ends, we would have had the creative mind of the teacher marking with chalk the blackboard and leaving a material storyboard of the cognitive stages of the equation - a sort of logic world map - that, through intrinsic logic energy, would lead to the final result: whose design finally implements the pristine creative idea of the teacher, who feels then calm, quiet, having been his duty accomplished.
These are very simple visionary metaphors of how 'Reality's Clockwork' can be represented in the 3rd millennium.
At the same time those metaphors help a wide non-specialized audience to understand the Chrono Logic' concepts. As Kuhn explained "it is a revolutionary cognitive jump', useful to stimulate new ways in the empirical researches.
The major achievement is 'the link between Logic and Time', before physical concepts like Energy, Matter, Mass, Space are involved.
Such a 'privileged position' of Logic and Time, has been consolidated after the limits of the theoretical physics occurred in the 20th century. As an instance: Einstein 'spacetime' theory ended on a dead alley, and could not realistically explain the dimensions and the timing of the universe, letting the door open to all kind of literary physics, even by well seasoned academics like Stephen Hawking.
If a Sistine Chapel portrait of the universe has no better technique than painting, than it is better to call a complex artist like Michelangelo, while humankind waits for a Galileo Galilei to give a more coherent portrait.
If a new Copernican world map was not yet ready, a Christopher Columbus was welcome to tell the 'tale of the western way to the Indies', as long as he could get financed by the Spanish Queen the 'discovery' of the Americas.
History has not changed much since 1500. It is just a past time of 500 years, in a world where many people - like Prof. Fabretti - have been living in an eight hundred years old intact apartment in Viterbo, or wakes up in Rome facing a two thousand years old stadium called Colosseum.
The nickname 'Coliseum' was first attributed to the Flavian Amphitheater by an erudite English monk of the 8th century, called 'Venerable Bede', who also stated that "world will last until Coliseum will stand".
Indeed he had to come to Rome to get a 'worldvision', because Rome was, and still is, a place "where Time happens", and Colosseum still symbolizes today, to millions of tourists, 'The Temple of All Times'.
Not by chance Prof. Fabretti - who used, when he was a child, to play 'hide-and-seek' and football inside the Colosseum - wrote an essay entitled "The Chronosseum", to add his 'chronologic' nickname to that of the English monk Bede in the 8th century.
"Time is where space happens. And it is time to shape space, in the history of the universe, whose movie in the 'present' is just a still frame": it is how Fabretti puts it in his 'Chrono Logic vision'.

This suggests Lavoisier was correct to include heat and light in his list of the known elements. They aren't matter but they contribute to the formation of matter, according to quantum mechanics and the rewriting of Einstein's famous equation as m=E/c^2 (with our understanding of space-time being increasingly dominated by the Theory of Everything, it's important not to limit investigations to the material world but to consider matter's relation to energy ... and to the 4 fundamental forces).
As we'll see, this more integrated way of viewing the universe leaves no room for the Standard Model's version of the Higgs field and boson. As well, it requires us to take another look at cosmology's Steady State theory and to reconsider 1) electroweak unification, and 2) quarks (Stephen Hawking and Leonard Mlodinow wrote on p.49 of their book "The Grand Design", "It is certainly possible that some alien beings ... would make the same experimental observations that we do, but describe them without quarks." So I’ll try to become a Little Green Man and describe quarks, and everything from quantum physics to the origin of life to cosmology, in a way that agrees with science’s observations but is also “alien”.)
The words “Supplementary Material” in the text refer to material which is in no way essential to this article but merely additional, non-required, reading. It’s my earlier viXra submission “How the Pioneer anomaly refines Einstein's gravitation / space-time; and how equations he developed in 1919 show that the space warping in General Relativity extends to subatomic particles …”

HyperKleinBottle surfaces and their logics; the latter incorporates interrelations and hyper-contextualizations within an heterarchy of Otherness. We introduce the associated logo-physics, as a basis for the unification of science and phenomenology, by surmounting the Cartesian Cut. Dualism is found to be a projection of the former logic, not an independent primeval ontoepistemology. We present the phenomenology of these logics, with regards to the geometries and topologies of space and time; of thought and language; of semiosis and its geological, cosmological and astronomical signs linked to the Myth of Eternal Return; of perception and cognition; of the common ontopoiesis of life and the inanimate realms, and of biological shape departing from embryological development and its unfolding as body-plans and their anatomy-physiology, and discuss its bearing in evolutionary theory, all which we present as embodiments of this non-dual ontoepistemology. We contrast this paradigm with: 1) the dualism of the theory of autopoiesis and the purported interior/exterior divide, as a general principle, which these logics subvert by self and mutual reentrances of the heterarchies; 2) the dual membrane of cell biology; 3) evolutionary theory associated to the metabolic versus genomic dualism; 4) the mereological fallacies of the neurosciences and the hypercontextuality of metaphors and anthropomorphisms; 5) the dualisms of Newtonian physics, Einstein’s relativity and quantum mechanics which are found to be epistemic theories, and the assumption of non-contextualization in physics, chemistry and geology which we show not to be the case; 6) the psychophysics of visual, aural and musical spaces, 7) the anatomy-physiology of the sensorium and the healing reconstitution of integrity; 8) in the division of epistemology and ontology, of language and process, and the top-down and bottom-up systemic, and finally 9) the issue of design related to turning-inside-out of a sphere (the ovum), yet transcending creationism. We present their surmountal through the ontoepistemologies of the Klein and Hyper-Klein Bottles surfaces, of hyper-contextuality and complexity. We discuss teleological causation and design of processes/structures, in particular in paleogeology, physics, chemistry and biology, in terms of the latter ontoepistemologies and of the Golden Mean, generated by time waves and their guidance by the Fibonacci Algorithm. We apply this ontoepistemology to the interpretation of religious texts and discuss the relations with the evolution of science. We discuss the two-dimensionality of biology and the lifeworld, novelty and the time operators.

Authors: Giorgio Fabretti (id.code: FBRGRG51E18H501B)
Comments: 6 Pages. A updated definition of "Ethical Materialism" abstracted by the original philosophical essays of Giorgio Fabretti on the unity of ethicity and materiality on a common ground of logical and synchronic reality.
"What ETHICAL MATERIALISM means in the 3rd millennium" is the title of a synthesis from the original philosophy of Giorgio Fabretti, Doctor in Philosophy and Anthropology since 1973 in the University of Rome "La Sapienza", Italy, cured and translated by the editors of the foundation "Fondo Fabretti".
The originality of "Ethical Materialism" is the unifying conception of reality as a relational 'continuum' of ancient and new dichotomies like logic versus matter, axioms vs. systems, ethical vs. realistic, subjectivity vs. objectivity - conceived through a sort of 'copernican cognitive evolution', due to his scientific studies on quantum physics, cybernetics & DNA discoveries - leading to a 'Weltanschauung', a vision of reality, an 'updated map of the universe', where matter directly comes from logic, it is made of logic, it never loose logic, it is driven by logic that operates in what humans in the 3rd millennium represent as stringent stochastic fractal logarithms: being the 'stringent' factor what human self-consciousness define as "the material properties of reality", being the Man the human factor within the logic operations.
Being reality conceived here as a time-set logic system generating matter, it is possible to conceive its axiomatic foundations as the ethical premises and guides of logic operations, leading to an evolutionary design, a balanced synthesis of ethical and material reality, free fundamental choices (both in the 'big bang' universe and in self-conscious 'weltanshauung') and material (stochastic, non-linear, fractal) complexity.
The synthetic definition of "ETHICAL MATERIALISM", (as explained in the attached short 6 pages) was a needed reference to update its meaning in the panorama of the new conceptions in GENERAL SCIENCE , radically evolved after the new scientific discoveries in Phisics, Computer Sciences and DNA Biology and Anthropology.
Since it appears worldwide that all the epistemological conceptions of the past millennium have suddenly gone obsolete, straight into the Science Museums, this radically original systematic approach was a 'due attempt' to finally break the many conceptual 'ancient walls', between ethical and material reality, between human social sciences and natural mathematic sciences.

Perezgonzalez assessed the nutritional balance of potato crisps in 2012, as part of a research on the nutritional composition of snacks in New Zealand. The distribution of nutritional balance clustered into two groups. The median was located at BNI 67.85 and the middle 68% of products ranged between BNI 33 (P16) and BNI 78 (P84). There was a slight negative skewness (mean=61.02, zSkew=-1.29) as most of the products were grouped towards the unbalanced end.

Some corn chips are sold under generic brands (eg, a supermarket brand) while others are sold under proprietary brands. Thus, it is of interest to test whether such characteristic informs about overall nutritional balance (BNI) and, thus, whether it may help choose more balanced products. As part of a research on the nutritional balance of corn chips (2012a), Perezgonzalez (2012b) also assessed whether generic and proprietary brands differed in regards to overall nutritional balance. This article summarizes that research.

Lin, Qiu and Perezgonzalez (2010) presented the results of a study by Qiu (2010) examining the sleep pattern disruption suffered by a group of flight attendants working on an Asia-Pacific route. Results indicated that the rapid time zone transitions of about four hours affected the participants’ sleeping pattern, and that a longer duration of their sleep did not necessarily indicate better sleep quality. Furthermore, on the first day of arrival, some participants elected to adopt the local time to cue their sleep. These participants had a shorter duration of sleep and found it harder to wake up the following day. However, after that first day, all participants showed similar sleep attributes despite the different sleep strategy.

Author develops some methods of this computation. There are: impact of the space apparatus to asteroid, explosion the conventional explosive having form of plate and ball on asteroid surface, explosion the small nuclear bomb on the asteroids surface, entry asteroid to Earth atmosphere, braking of asteroid by parachute.
Offered method may be also used for braking of apparatus reentering in the Earth from a space flight.
The offered theory also may be used for protection the Earth from impact of a big asteroid.

The Author suggests that frequent distributions can be applied to the modelling the influences
of stochastically perturbing factors onto physical processes and situations, in order to look for most probable numerical values of the parameters of the complicate systems. In this deal, very visual spectra of the particularly undetermined complex problems have been obtained. These spectra allows to predict the probabilistic behaviour of the system.

Gilbey et al (2010) carried out a pilot study for ascertaining whether mild hypoxia led to more optimistic (or pessimistic) judgements about the likelihood of life events than otherwise.
Their results showed that a small group of participants did not change or only slightly changed their judgements about life events under normal and hypoxic conditions. That is, overall optimistic judgement did not change but remained slightly above average. Particular judgements did increase or decrease slightly depending on the condition, but perhaps not enough as for suggesting any sensible effect of mild hypoxia on judgement. Changes occurred in either direction, depending on the judgement, and so there was no tendency for just optimism (or pessimism) to appear more extreme under mildly hypoxic conditions than under normal conditions within this group.

These are 6 short “Snacks for the Mind” combined with excerpts from “Intergalactic Plus Time Travel; Hyperspace and Space-Time’s Nature”, “Tomorrow’s Science Today”, “A New Earth And A New Universe”, etc. I’ve changed sentences here and there in the last 4, in an attempt to express my main thoughts (they were all very brief at first but #5 has become lengthy and #6 has had a long PS/PPS added to it – the PS talks about immortality while the PPS talks about Infinity, ESP, God and Satan the Devil). The first 2 are things I’ve been thinking about during the last week or two.
Snack #1 - Cancer cells are incredibly difficult to eradicate completely. So let's take a lesson from the martial arts and use their own strength against them. Let them live - but only after they've been bioengineered to mutate back into healthy, functional cells and tissues that reproduce at a normal rate.
Snack #2 - Can radio telescopes and infrared telescopes be adapted to allow amateur astronomers to view celestial phenomena through clouds and rain?
Snack #3 - Reconciling the Dark Flow with the Poincare conjecture and Figure-8 Klein bottles to reinterpret parallel universes, cosmic strings and wormholes.
Snack #4 - Cosmic-Quantum Unification and Einstein being centuries ahead of his time + Intergalactic and Time Travel
Snack #5 - MOND (Modified Newtonian Dynamics) that fits in your pocket or purse; De=Hv+G (Dark Energy = Hidden Variables + Gravitation)
Snack #6 - God's existence proven by combining the inverse-square law with quantum entanglement! This Physics of the Impossible means evolution is not the Origin of Species - origin is due to a suprapantheistic unity of spacetime's spatial, temporal, hyperspatial, material, personality and mental parts; forming a union with humans in a cosmic unification (we know this as God). But "evolution" is still responsible for changes (adaptations) within species.

I’ve only changed a few sentences here and there in the last 4, in an attempt to express my main thoughts very briefly (but still clearly). The first 2 are things I’ve been thinking about during the last week or two.
Snack #1 - Cancer cells are incredibly difficult to eradicate completely. So let's take a lesson from the martial arts and use their own strength against them. Let them live - but only after they've been bioengineered to mutate back into healthy, functional cells and tissues that reproduce at a controlled rate.
Snack #2 - Can radio telescopes and infrared telescopes be adapted to allow amateur astronomers to view celestial phenomena through clouds and rain?
Snack #3 - Reconciling the Dark Flow with the Poincare conjecture and Figure-8 Klein bottles to reinterpret parallel universes, cosmic strings and wormholes.
Snack #4 - Cosmic-Quantum Unification and Einstein being centuries ahead of his time + Intergalactic and Time Travel

As suggested by the modern view and use of the "axiomatic method" in science, a view and use which has placed belief to a very simple deep level and thus far away from the "axioms", as similar approach is suggested in religions. This would create a joint framework upon which both science and religion be based, and could pursue their development in appropriate ways, including possible useful interaction. Within such a joint framework, science would focus on those Laws of Nature which act more or less instantly, while religion would - as has always done it - focus on the Laws of Nature which need not always manifest themselves immediately.

There is no experiment to have shown that light travels at a rate faster than 299,792,458 meters per second. Therefore any hypothesis that claims to have measured objects ejecting material in outer space at rates faster than light are simply arbitrary and ad hoc. Scientists can either keep the laws that we understand and can test, or they can make up fantasy after fantasy to suit their imaginations’ desire.

Being paradoxist in nature, Florentin’s Laws are especially deviations, modifications, generalizations, contra-sayings, parodies, or mixtures of the previous Murphy’s Laws and Peter’s Laws. And also of aphorisms, proverbs, known citations, clichés, scientific results (from physics, mathematics, philosophy, ...), etc.
Alternatively, collations of opposite ideas - gathered from folklore, from ads, from literature, from familiar speech.
For example, Murphy’s law
“Anything that can go wrong will go wrong”
which in Peter’s law is stated as:
“If anything can go wrong, Fix It!”
becomes in Florentin’s law, through deviation:
“If anything can go wrong, pass it on to someone else!”
in a Machiavelli way, as a mixture of pessimism / optimism and laugh!
In the above example, while Murphy’s law output is negative and Peter’s law output is positive, Florentin’s law output is indeterminate [perversity] as in neutrosophic logic (i. e. the problem has not be solved, but passed to another person!... it’s a trickery (deception, cunning, dodge, swindle, caper, subterfuge).
Each Florentin's Law should include: negative (pessimism) and positive (optimism) attributes, while its conclusion should be moderate – often trickery bended with humor.

He found that sandwich-ready cured meats in New Zealand tend to be highly unbalanced, with average BNI values of around 145.09 (foodBNI). When cured meats are considered as part of a diet (ie, all cured meats are consumed approximately in the same proportion over time), such hypothetical diet show an average nutritional balance of BNI 140.91na (dietBNI), being particularly unbalanced towards excess of sodium. Being an animal-derived product, they are also high in protein, fat and saturated fat, and low in carbohydrate, sugar and fiber.

This article offers descriptive data regarding the nutritional balance of flavored low-fat soymilk. These data were collected for a research on milk and milk alternatives in New Zealand between 2007 and 2008 (Perezgonzalez, 2008).
Flavored low-fat soymilk is an illustrative example of the "unbalancing" effects of added sugar to an otherwise closer to nutritional balance low-fat soymilk. Indeed, the average flavored low-fat soymilk (in this sample) turns out to be adequate in protein, carbohydrate and fat, low in saturated fat, low in fiber, high in sodium, and extremely high in sugar.
On average, flavored low-fat soymilk has a nutritional balance of BNI 79.18s, being particularly unbalanced towards excess of sugar.

This article offers descriptive data regarding the nutritional balance of low-fat soymilk. These data were collected for a research on milk and milk alternatives in New Zealand between 2007 and 2008 (Perezgonzalez, 2008).
Low-fat (light, or lite) soymilk is made from soybeans and water, and contains around 1.3% fat. This article, however, analyzes the nutritional balance of low-fat soymilk beyond its fat content. Indeed, the average low-fat soymilk (in this sample) is adequate in fat and low in saturated fat, but also high in protein, low in carbohydrate but high in sugar, low in fiber, and high in sodium (for its energetic content).
On average, low-fat soymilk has a nutritional balance of BNI 27.08s, being particularly unbalanced towards excess of sugar.

Because this is a General Systems website, I will occasionally point out parallels between the intuitive world views and systems of antiquity, mythology, and religion, and the rational world views and systems of modern-day science, as these convergences urge themselves upon me. This is not to be construed as advocacy of any religion, but as a further demonstration of the fractal nature of reality, including that of our intuitive perceptual modes. Nevertheless, I have no doubt that the existence of such parallels, whether consciously recognized or not, is one reason why the major religious systems have persisted so long and so successfully. I use Christian examples only because that is the religion in which I was raised and am most familiar with. Similar examples could certainly be found in the other major religions by those familiar with them - JAG.

Casner explored the attitudes of general aviation pilots towards advanced cockpit systems (ACS, namely glass-cockpits) in 2008. He asked a group of general aviation pilots from the California Bay area about their attitudes towards ACS. Although the majority of pilots did not have flying experience with glass-cockpit aircraft, Casner's research found that, in general, pilots believed that ACS were a positive step forward, even when they also perceived them to be potentially problematic. These and other related attitudes towards ACS are not necessarily based on direct experience, thus they may not be particularly reliable and may only represent an idealistic understanding of ACS and their features.

Perezgonzalez, Gilbey and Diaz Vilela explored the ergonomization needs of general aviation pilots in 2010. Namely, they asked a group of pilots which technological features (including costs) they thought were important to their main general aviation flight activity. The group was mostly made of New Zealand and North American pilots flying for purposes such as training, instructing, business and recreation. Yet, it included airplane, helicopter and glider pilots, male and female pilots, and pilots with licences ranging from no-licence (ab-initio student) to ATPL.
The research found that, overall, the cost (of acquisition and operation) of any technology was the main worry for general aviation pilots (the results also suggested that this might be more important than any other benefit the technology may bring to their flying). Yet, among ergonomic features, all those supporting flight operations (from the calculation of weight and balance to traffic avoidance features) were also of medium importance. Less important were features such as tracking and real-time monitoring, followed by post-flight analysis and 3-D displays.

Perezgonzalez & Lee explored the ergonomization needs of student pilots in 2009. They asked a group of student pilots which technological features they wanted to have when flying (with costs also included as part of those features). They also valued the selected features on their relative importance to each other. Overall, the student pilots valued highly technological features that helped them with their flying (eg, onboard display of navigation charts, airspace awareness functionality, pre-flight route planning, and TCAS functionality), low running costs, post-flight analysis displayed on navigation charts, and equipment portability.

On page 19 of "Doctor Who Magazine 447", Steven Moffat says "Time travel is impossible." Ouch!! That comment hurt. Here's a detailed, nonfictional
explanation of why time travel is not impossible.
[While the planned Mars mission of 2018 is robotic, we cannot limit our sights to that since we hope to follow with manned exploration of the Red Planet in the 2030’s. The physical bodies and psychology, as well as technology, we possess
now or will possess in the foreseeable future are not well suited to prolonged space travel (e.g. our brains and bodies are vulnerable to radiation, muscle and bone loss, abnormal psychology, etc. when travelling in space … and simply reaching nearby stars would take hundreds or thousands of years). However, there is an alternative to astronauts (or cosmonauts, or taikonauts) reaching
Mars and being unable to walk, or think clearly. We can thank the theories of Albert Einstein, an electrical engineering experiment conducted at Yale University in 2009, and some conclusions that logically follow from Einstein/Yale, for pointing the way to this alternative. When fully developed, the “Einstein-Yale Bridge” will take us anywhere in the universe and anywhen in time.]

The nutritional balance of sugar-free chocolates was studied by Perezgonzalez in 2011. He found that a sample of chocolate bars, chocolate blocks and bonbons currently available in New Zealand shared a similar nutritional profile characterized as being low in protein, high in fat, high in saturated fat, low in fiber and low in sodium. Sugar-free chocolates, however, differed from other chocolates in also being adequate (or low) in sugar and, consequently, low in carbohydrate.
On average, no-added-sugar chocolates have a nutritional balance of BNI 82.73f, being particularly unbalanced towards excess of fat.

The nutritional balance of typical chocolates was studied by Perezgonzalez in 20111. A sample of chocolate bars, chocolate blocks and bonbons currently available in New Zealand shared a similar nutritional profile yet differed enough as to being able to be separated into particular categories. The most populated categories shared a nutritional profile characterized as being low in protein, high in fat, high in saturated fat, low in fiber and low in sodium. Typical chocolates, the most frequent category, differed from the others in also being high in sugar but low in total carbohydrate.
On average, the typical chocolate has a nutritional balance of BNI 126.94-fb, being particularly unbalanced towards deficiency in fiber.

The Balanced Nutrition Index™ (BNI™)7 is a technological application for assessing the nutritional balance of foods, recipes and diets. It uses dietary recommended intakes (RDIs) in order to analyse the nutrition composition of foods and assess their nutritional balance. Thus, it is able to index foods according to such balance. The BNI underlying principle is quite simple: subtract actual macronutrients contribution to foods from 'ideal' macronutrients contribution, add the differences and, in so doing, compile a unique figure that allows indexing a given food product according to its degree of nutritional balance (or, rather, unbalance).

The nutritional composition of chocolate snack bars in New Zealand and Australia has remained unchanged in the four years between 2007 and 2011, according to a research done by Perezgonzalez (2011). That is, although individual chocolate bars may have changed slightly in nutritional composition, the average chocolate bar in 2007 and the average chocolate bar in 2011 were practically the same.
Using a sample of 15 chocolate snack bars of the same brand and make for both periods, Perezgonzalez found no significant differences in either the nutritional composition of the snack bars or their overall nutritional balance. The average nutritional balance was BNI 124.05s in 2007 and BNI 123.53s in 2011, hardly any change at all.
Results were also very similar for individual macronutrients, which showed that an average chocolate bar is extremely low in protein and fiber, and extremely high in sugars, fat and saturated fat; on the positive side, it is also extremely low in sodium.

The concept of 'balanced nutrition' is a difficult one to anchor to a particular idea, namely because it is used for referring to different things. An appropriate dictionary meaning for balance when referring to nutrition is "to compute the difference between the debits and credits (of energy)", as well as being "nicely or evenly balanced, such as a well–balanced diet" (Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary, 2005). Thus, the concept of "balanced nutrition" in science could be restricted to using it for referring to the equilibrium in the amount of energy or nutritional chemicals ingested in relation to the energy or nutritional chemicals spent (Webb, 1995). A diet which provides either an excess or a deficiency of energy or nutrients can, thus, be considered to be unbalanced.

The reliability of the iPhone's GPS tracking feature was assessed empirically by Perezgonzalez in 2010. The research used an iPhone and a specialized tracking device (Spidertracks) on the same training flight. At the end of the flight, the data collected by both technologies were compared. More specifically, data regarding four flight parameters were correlated to assess the tracking variability of the two technologies.

Comments: 4 Pages. Appeared in the 20th ACM SIGSPATIAL International Conference on Advances in Geographic Information Systems (ACM SIGSPATIAL GIS 2012), Redondo Beach, California, The United States
Geographic information systems traditionally dealt with only outdoor spaces. In recent years, indoor spatial information systems have started to attract attention partly due to the increasing use of receptor devices (e.g., RFID readers or wireless sensor networks) in both outdoor and indoor spaces. Applications that employ these devices are expected to span uniformly and supply seamless functionality in both outdoor and indoor spaces. What makes this impossible is the current absence of a unified account of these two types of spaces both in terms of modeling and reasoning about the models. This paper presents a unified model of outdoor and indoor spaces and receptor deployments in these spaces. The model is expressive, flexible, and invariant to the segmentation of a space plan, and the receptor deployment policy. It is focused on partially constrained outdoor and indoor motion, and it aims at underlying the construction of future, powerful reasoning applications.

This paper asks what serious philosophy says about the ultimate goals and figures of merit, for use in evaluating and guiding activities such as NASA and other space program. It begins with a condensed review of a new viewpoint in philosophy, "the philosophy of sanity and integrity," citing papers in Neural Networks in more detail. More controversially, it presents concepts of the soul grounded in that philosophy, but also addressing more data from experience, bearing upon our goals in space and on earth as well.

Unpacking and analyzing the malicious code may appear aoptimum solution to this problem; but provided with gigantic number of malware being released every single day, this is not a tranquil peace of work for security companies and researchers. In this paper we aim to provide a comprehensive summary of packer problem with practical demonstration of their effectiveness and we will be reviewing various generic techniques to handle this problem.

Growing concern for the environment degradation has led to the world’s interest in
renewable energy sources. Wind energy is rapidly emerging as one of the most
cost-effective forms of renewable energy with very significant increases in annual installed
capacity being reported around the world. The favoured form of turbines used for
electricity generation purposes is the Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine (HAWT) with low
solidity ratio (ratio of blade area to swept area) and high tip speed ratio, λ = ΩR/Vwind,
where R is the radius of the blades and Vwind is the wind velocity. This type of turbine
has a high efficiency or coefficient of performance (Cp), but relatively low torque. Wind
energy is kinetic energy associated with the movement of atmospheric air. Wind energy
systems for irrigation & milling have been in use since ancient times & since beginning
of 20th
century it is being used to generate electric power. Windmills for water pumping
have been installed in many countries particularly in the rural areas. Wind turbines
transform the energy in the wind into mechanical power, which can then be used directly
for grinding etc. or further converting to electric power to generate electricity. Wind
turbines can be used singly or in clusters called ‘wind farms’. Small wind turbines called
aero-generators can be used to charge large batteries. Five nations –Germany, USA,
Denmark, Spain & India account for 80% of the worlds installed wind energy capacity.
Wind energy continues to be fastest growing renewable energy source with worldwide
wind power installed capacity. India ranks 5th
in the world with a largest wind power
capacities which have been established in commercial projects. In India the states
Tamilnadu & Gujarat lead in the field of wind energy. There about a dozen wind pumps
of various designs providing water for agriculture & domestic purposes all scattered over
the country. Today India is a major player in global wind energy market. The present
work was originally devised as a student project to examine the possibility of developing
a small scale, high torque, self-starting HAWT for applications such as water pumping. In
the following we outline the development of the concept of the PVC type HAWT, the
development of a experimental setup of the device that includes the design, manufacture,
commissioning and preliminary testing of the device

Researches on gas turbine have been widely performed, especially on combustion
chamber with a non-premixed combustion process. In this work, the research ofthe combustion
chamber has been performed using the LES method. The aim of this study is to analyze the
combustion process with various fuel injector angles and fuel rate. The analyzed aspects are
flow pattern, temperature distribution and species concentration on stoichiometry condition.
The mixing process between fuel and air at the combustion zone is affected by the increase in
injector angle which, 33.55o

In the present paper, the closed form expressions for the
displacements at any point of the transversely isotropic elastic medium with
irregularity present in the medium have been obtained. A model is considered
in which the irregularity is expressed by a rectangle shape and the medium is
taken in a state of free from initial stress. To study the effect of irregularity
present in the medium , the variation of displacements with horizontal
distance have been drawn for different values of irregularity size. Also the
comparison between the displacements for isotropic and transversely
isotropic elastic medium is shown graphically. It is found that the
irregularity have a notable effect on this deformation.

DC magnetron sputtering is a well-developed deposition technique
for coatings and thin films used in industrial applications. The experiments
were performed with unbalanced circular magnetron sputtering targets of
aluminium (99.999%) and titanium (99.99%). Sputtering of aluminium (Al)
and titanium (Ti) was carried out in pure argon (99.999%) atmosphere at base
pressure of 4 × 10−6
torr and constant sputtering pressure of 5 × 10−3
torr.
Substrate materials were mainly stainless steel (304) and aluminum plates.
Characterization of TiAl films deposited onto different substrates was
evaluated using XRD, SEM and EDS analysis techniques. The film surface and
cross-section was examined using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The
TiAl phase was confirmed using XRD analysis. The composition of the TiAl
film was determined using EDS technique. These characterizations revealed the
growth of TiAl intermetallic thinfilm with a characteristic crystallite size of
123.9 Å and a lattice strain of 0.1352%. Also a columnar growth perpendicular
to the substrate surface was observed repeatedly in our experiment. The
microhardness of the TiAl film had an average value of 1873 HV.

This paper investigates the influences of inertia and process parameters on two-layer fiber
spinning process for incompressible, isothermal and Newtonian filament jet flow. The present study
focuses on the steady flow considering inertia, gravity and non-uniform velocity of each layer across
the fiber. The governing equations are solved numerically as nonlinear two-point boundary value
problem given the analytical solution is practically impossible. The effects of inertia and initial process
conditions (draw ratio, initial velocity ratio and die exit radius ratio) are discussed. The velocity
increases monotonically with the axial position in each layer due to inertia effect, at a rate that is
relatively slower (faster) near the spinneret (take-up point) as Re increases. In contrast, the radii
decrease monotonically with the axial position in each layer.

The present review aims to study the prospects and opportunities of introducing vegetable
oils and their derivatives as fuel in diesel engines. Some fuel properties are always available in
vegetable oils. In this investigation Cottonseed oil, Mosna oil and Sesame oil are chosen for producing
biodiesel as an alternative fuel for diesel engine. Fuel-related properties of these oils are reviewed and
compared with those of conventional diesel fuel. Biodiesel is produced by transesterifying the oil with
an alcohol such as methanol under mild conditions in the presence of a base catalyst. Satisfactory
amount of biodiesel is produced from Cottonseed oil at 3:1M ratio of methanol and oil. Biodiesel from
cottonseed oil has various fuel properties which are similar to diesel. The cost of biodiesel production
is also analyzed. This paper discusses in a general a perspective of biodiesel.

Historically two stroke engine petrol engines find wide applications
in construction of two wheelers worldwide, however due to stringent
environmental laws enforced universally; these engines are fading in numbers.
In spite of the tight norms, Internationally these engines are still used in
agriculture, gensets etc. Several designs of variable compression ratio two
stroke engines are commercially available for analysis purpose. In this present
investigation a novel method of changing the compression ratio is proposed,
applied, studied and analyzed. The clearance volume of the engine is altered by
introducing a metal plug into the combustion chamber. This modification
permitted to have four different values of clearance value keeping in view of the
studies required the work is brought out as two sections. This paper deals with
the design, analysis testing at different compression ratios, modification and
engine fabrication. It is observed that the increase in compression ratio
improves fuel efficiency and power output. The novelty in this work is to
permit the two wheeler driver to change the compression ratio

The project is aimed at designing a wind turbine for tapping the low speed wind in urban locations. It is to be
noted that most of the high wind power density regions in the zone of high wind speed are already being tapped and this
offers a large scope for the development of this low wind speed turbines. Our study focuses primarily on designing the blade
for tapping power in the regions of low wind power density. The aerodynamic profiles of wind turbine blades have crucial
influence on aerodynamic efficiency of wind turbine. This involves the selection of a suitable airfoil section for the proposed
wind turbine blade. The NACA 63 series is chosen as the basic group for investigation because they have good low speed
characteristics and the power curve is better in the low and medium wind speed ranges. In this paper NACA 63-415 airfoil
profile is considered for analysis of wind turbine blade. NACA 63-415 airfoil profile is created by using the co-ordinate file
generated in JavaFoil. A C-Mesh Domain for the fluid around the airfoil is created using Design Modeler in ANSYS
Workbench. The CFD analysis is carried out using STAR-CCM+ at various angles of attack from 00
to 160
. The coefficient
of lift and drag values are calculated for low Reynolds number and the pressure distributions are also plotted. The airfoil
NACA 63-415 is analyzed based on computational fluid dynamics to identify its suitability for its application on wind
turbine blades and good agreement is made between results.

The concentration of this numerical investigation is focused to generate data for developing optimum
profile of Supersonic nozzle irrespective of the altitude of operation. The investigation has been carried out for
different altitudes when the combustion conditions including combustion temperature, combustion pressure,
specific heat ratio and molecular weight remain unchanged. Considering the aerodynamic issues, method of
characteristics is chosen for profile generation. During the application of method of characteristics, exit pressure
to atmospheric pressure ratio is maintained unity. The coding has been done in the MATLAB interface with an
aim to generate maximum thrust at the outlet of the optimized supersonic nozzle. Both Mach and pressure

The production of soybean requires that the product is collected
healthy and in advance, to minimize losses caused by the attack in the field of
insects, diseases and microorganisms. Therefore and due to high moisture
content at harvest, drying is one of the operations of primary importance among
the techniques involved in the conservation of desirable qualities of products of
plant origin. The objective of this work is to obtain the drying curves of soya, in
the range of drying air temperature between 45 and 90°C, for the initial
moisture content between 0.13 and 0.32 and drying air velocity of 0, 0.5, 0.9,
1.5 and 2.5m/s to determine the influence of these parameters in the process.
The experimental phase was performed using a prototype of which was a hair
metal tube with 0.15m in diameter, insulated throughout its surface with glass
wool and canvas. The air was heated by six electrical resistance with power of
600W, while the temperature was controlled with the aid of thermocouples
connected to the drying equipment. Were also performed numerical
simulations, where the mathematical model used was proposed by
Khatchatourian [1], and this search has changed the equation that describes the
flow of mass, it is entering the parameters of air velocity and initial moisture
content, obtaining a good agreement between experimental and simulated data.
Was observed that the drying air velocity presents significant influence on the
process, there is an increased withdrawal of water during the first hours of
drying. Note that the influence of air temperature on the rate of drying is higher
at the beginning of the experiment, reducing the processing time. The higher the
temperature and airflow, the greater the drying rate and lower the total time of
exposure to heated air.

involves the obtaining of natural frequencies by solving the mathematical
model that governs the vibration behavior of the plate using a Galerkin-based
finite element method. Cubic quadrilateral serendipity subparametric
elements with twelve degrees of freedom are used in this analysis. Even
though the order of polynomial used is the lowest possible, the effectiveness
of the method for calculating the natura l frequencies accurately is
demonstrated by comparing the solution obtained against the existing
analytical results. The effect of the aspect ratio, the number of elements, and
the number of sampling points on the accuracy of the solution is also

Energy is the prerequisite for modern civilization. Fossil fuel is still
the main source of energy. But the endless consumption of fossil fuel has brought
its reserve about to an end. As a result, fuel prices are gouging as a consequence
of spiraling demand and diminishing supply. So we are always in search of
alternative and cost effective fuels to meet our need. Diesel engines are more
efficient and cost-effective than other engines. So diesel engines have versatile
uses (i.e. automobiles, irrigation, power plants etc.). That is why; consumption of
diesel fuel is much higher than other gasoline fuels. This paper estimates the
feasibility of soybean oil and sesame oil as an alternative fuel for diesel engine.
In the present paper, production of biodiesel from soybean oil and sesame oil,
its properties and comparison of test results with the results of other biodiesels
and diesel have been presented. Biodiesels are produced experimentally from
soybean and sesame oils and obtained 89.75% and 82.64% respectively.
Calorific values of biodiesels from soybean and sesame oil are obtained
41.57MJ/Kg and 43.67 MJ/Kg and the same for diesel is 44.5 MJ/Kg. The
kinematic viscosity of biodiesel extracted from soybean and sesame oils are
2.068*106m2/s and 2.292*106m2/s respectively while the same for diesel is
2.068*106m2/s. Again, flash point of biodiesels from soybean and sesame oil
are obtained 96°C & 94°C and the same for diesel is 75°C. The production costs
of biodiesels from soybean and sesame oil are Tk. 296.8 and Tk. 370 per liter
respectively. These oils or any of its blends could be used as an alternative in
case of crisis.

One of the main causes of aerodynamic drag for sedan vehicles
is the separation of flow near the vehicle’s rear end. To delay flow
separation, bump-shaped vortex generators are tested for application to the
roof end of a sedan. Commonly used on aircraft to prevent flow separation,
vortex generators themselves create drag, but they also reduce drag by
preventing flow separation at downstream. The overall effect of vortex
generators can be calculated by totaling the positive and negative effects.
Since this effect depends on the shape and size of vortex generators, those on
the vehicle roof are optimized. This paper presents the optimization result,
the effect of vortex generators in the flow field and the mechanism by which
these effects take place.

The effects of through-the-thickness shearing strain energy on the
geometric non-linear behavior of thin and relatively thick rectangular
functionally graded plates are studied in this paper. It is assumed that the
mechanical properties of the plates, graded through the thickness, are described
by a simple power law distribution in terms of the volume fractions of
constituents. The plates are assumed to be under lateral pressure loads. The
fundamental equations for rectangular plates of FGM are obtained using the
classical laminated plate theory (CLPT), first order shear deformation theory
(FSDT) and higher order shear deformation theory (HSDT) for large deflection
and the solution is obtained by minimization of the total potential energy.

In this paper the mixed-mode interlaminar fracture behavior of
Carbon-Epoxy composite specimens was investigated based on numerical
analyses. Study of behavior of composite materials and determining their
ultimate strength seems to be an essential issue in practical engineering. Hence,
the behavior of Carbon-Epoxy laminated composite is studied numerically by
modeling of Arcan specimen in ABAQUS finite element software. The
modeling was fulfilled in the way that loading can be carry out in different
loading angles and also analyses is repeated for wide range of crack length ratio
between 0.1 to 0.9. The numerical analysis was performed with ABAQUS finite
element software under a constant load of 1000 N. the entire test apparatus is
modeled in both 2 dimensional and 3 dimensional. Results of numerical
analyses are demonstrated is several diagrams. Also, a hypothesis about
boundary conditions of 2 dimensional models is investigated and has been
proved. The results show that some of conventional constraints must be
modified to extract right correction factors from finite element models.

mathematical model to describe its operation and analysis. The model, after testing against the existing experimental data, has
been solved to obtain the effect of various parameters like mass flow rate, number of flow channels, plate configuration and f low
patterns. Model of a plate heat exchanger has been described by a set of continuity, momentum and energy equations with a
number of simplifying assumptions. Heat transfer rate equation has also been included in the energy balance equation to take care
of phenomena occurring therein. Mathematical model has been solved by the use of finite difference technique with interval of Δt
=0.005s and Δz = 0.005m to obtain the transient and steady state behavior.

In this study, the work done on the extraction of oil from fluted pumpkin (Telfairia
Occidentalis Hook F.) seeds, its transesterification methyl ester (biodiesel) and characterization is reported.
The oil was extracted in a soxhlet extractor using normal hexane as solvent. The oil properties were
measured and the free fatty acid was 3.59 mg KOH/g which is high for alkaline transesterification hence
the oil was neutralized with hydrochloric acid before transesterification using with 3 g of sodium hydroxide
per litre of methanol as catalyst and methoxide/oil in the volume ratio of 6:1. Gas chromatography analys is
shows that the oil and its methyl ester contains primarily the short chain fatty acids oleic (C18:1), linoleic
(C18:2). The fuel properties were evaluated following the American Society for Testing and Materials
(ASTM) methods for biodiesel. The fuel properties are very close to those of diesel fuel hence can be used
as alternative fuel for diesel engines. Of particular importance is the high flash point which makes it a safe
fuel and the low pour point will allows it to be used in cold climate.

This paper presents a control strategy to overcome positioning control and anti-swing control for a 3
Degree-of-Freedom (D.O.F) crane system. It is well known that the 3 D.O.F crane system is a type of machine,
generally equipped with a hoist, wire ropes or chains, and sheaves. It can be used to lift and lower materials and
to move them horizontally. However, controlling the 3 D.O.F crane systems requires a good control method to
achieve a high positioning control and in particular to suppress swing that produced during operation. Hence,
choosing an appropriate control to resolve positioning control and swing angle is not a trivial task in particular to
transfer payloads quickly, effectively and safely. Presently, the existing of 3 DOF systems used a conventional
PID controller to control position and swing angle. The controllers were designed based on the model and
parameter of the crane system. In general, modelling and parameter identifications are troublesome and time
consuming. Therefore, we propose a Fuzzy Logic Control (FLC) which has simpler and practical design
approach. Effectively, it is anticipated that the FLC can be used to avoid a complex mathematical calculation
which is always time consuming. In addition, the model derivation is often inaccurate due to the presence of
nonlinearities and uncertainties. Throughout this paper, the FLC performances are compared with PID controller
through experiment. The results showed that FLC has produced good result for positioning and anti-swing control
for 3 D.O.F. crane system.

Overreliance on petroleum products and environmental pollution
from combustion emissions produced by automobiles has led to extensive
research on hybrid electric vehicles, electric vehicles and their components. A
key component in these vehicles is the electric motor, used for traction as well
as powering other appliances like the compressor. Overheating in electrical
motors results in detrimental effects such as degradation of the insulation
materials, magnet demagnetization, increase in Joule losses and decreased
motor efficiency and lifetime. Hence, it is important to find ways of optimizing
performance and reliability of electric motors through effective cooling and
consequently reduce operating and maintenance costs. This study describes 3D
CFD simulations performed on a totally enclosed air over fan cooled brushless
D.C. motor to identify the temperatures of the critical components of the motor,
and the effect of varying thermal parameters of these temperatures. The energy
sources are obtained from electromagnetic losses computed using MAXWELL,
a commercial FEA software and bearing losses obtained through numerical
methods developed by the authors. A finned casing is used as the heat sink and
the effect of varying the fin geometry on the cooling performance is examined
using three heat sink designs. The results show that the highest temperature
occurs at the end windings and that this temperature can be reduced by up to
15% by introduction of a suitable finned housing. These results show that CFD
can be effectively used to optimize the cooling performance of electric motors.
Experimental tests are undergoing in order to validate the CFD results.

lowers flame temperature and reduce oxygen concentration in combustion
chamber. The objective of this research is to investigate the usage of biodiesel
and EGR simultaneously in order to reduce the emissions of all regulated
pollutants from diesel engine. For this a single cylinder, air cooled, constant
speed direct injection diesel engine was used and EGR was developed and fitted
in engine. Various emissions such as HC, NOx, CO and smoke opacity were
measured. The engine performance parameters were calculated from measured
data.

The prepaid meter is important in making the consumer having
sense about his/her energy consumption which is important in eliminating
the difficulties facing the electrical utility employee in getting the reading
of the conventional electromechanical meter and eliminating any error
incurred in bills issuing. This paper is aimed at developing a prototype of a
management system for a prepaid electrical power meter. The designed
prepaid meter consists of an RFID reader, a microcontroller, a digital meter
and a wireless gateway. The proposed prototype metering system consists
of two parts: clients and server. An RFID reader is used to read the ID of
the credit card and a PC connected to a hardware simulated circuit which is
designed and implemented to simulate the operation of the digital meter.
The server is located in the local substation which receives the card’s ID
from clients and sends ID’s information back to the client after checking
and/or updating the database.

We explore the connection between the mind and the brain. We propose that consciousness is the consequence of processing information and that the solution to the binding problem does not entail quantum mechanical coherence or entanglement. We argue for an alternative inspiration from quantum mechanics and quantum field theory based on time-energy uncertainly: not to reduce consciousness to a quantum wave function but to see what quantum mechanics teaches us about information, time, complexity and transformation. We introduce three postulates and a law governing cognitive systems.

Usual definitions of the {\it transcendental} are given by {\it ontological assumptions}. Typical in this regard are those in various theologies or philosophies. And needless to say, such ontological assumptions can easily be challenged, if not in fact, they actually do invite such challenges. Plato's Cave Allegory in his book "Republic" is an exception, since it can be seen as a definition of the transcendental, albeit rather indirectly and through a quite involved story. And as such, it is not at all about any ontological assumption, but only about gnoseology, epistemology and pragmatics. Here, a similar definition of the transcendental is suggested, namely, a definition which does not use any ontological assumption, and instead, it only refers to gnoseology, epistemology and pragmatics. The novelty is in the fact that the mentioned definition consists of nothing more than four successive {\it questions}.

It is shown that there-exist conditions for which scientific theories qualify as Gödel’s 'related systems', and that observable features can exist which cannot be derived within the scientific theory. However, this is just a descriptive problem arising due to restricting scientific theories to be in physically-real terms, and can be circumvented by the use of non-physically-real terms, which is shown to give a derivation of Quantum Theory. Incompleteness is also shown to be possible in scientific theories of living cells, ecosystems and the economies of nations. The impact on natural language descriptions of these systems is also considered.

A Systems View of One Reality of the Universe (FTPRDNBU) within Universe (IEVACXUU) delineating its Size, Structure and Soul and Our Special Status on the Privileged Planet.
This paper and concomitant presentation comprise a Systems View of One Reality of the Universe (FTPRDNBU) within Universe (IEVACXUU) delineating its Size, Structure and Soul and Our Special Status on the Privileged Planet. It build upon a previously presented and published paper at an NPA forum by the author with a similar title. As the title implies, it is based on the premise that there is only one reality in-here and out-there notwithstanding multitudes of perceptions thereof. Accordingly problems in theory and practice of sciences cannot be solved without solving the problems in theory and practice of spirituality and vice versa. At the top level it begins with a systems view of the universe which by definition is one (Universe = All that there is) within what existed prior to its creation ex nihilo and sua sponte. An essential aspect of our universe is gravity which is created by combined effect of three motions in 3D Euclidian absolute space in three orthogonal frames of reference which are fed all the way back to earth via Virgo Cluster(s), Milky Way and the Solar System each in three different orthogonal planes. 1) Orbit of the earth around the Sun in the plane of the planets in the first frame of reference (horizontal plane along vertical axis) 2) Solar system around Milky Way Black Hole in the plane of the Milky Way which is perpendicular to the plane of the solar system in the second orthogonal frame of reference (Vertical plane along horizontal axis) 3) Orbit of the Milky Way and local group and perhaps some other galaxies around Black Hole of the Virgo cluster in the third Frame of Reference (Lateral vertical plane along lateral horizontal axis) which is orthogonal to both the previous planes Solar system plane and Milky Way Planes. In further detail it is a potpourri of One Reality NOW (Nuggets of Wisdom). There are no taboo topics or sacred cows. One Reality ignores man made boundaries of knowledge domains or credentials of the originator of a particular perception of reality. Any contradictions are purged from One Reality by employing familiar mathematical techniques such as LCM (Lowest Common Multiple) and HCF (Highest Common Factor) amongst other. The author supports his position by examples from a wide range and variety of sciences and spirituality. The only chance for solving the one reality jigsaw puzzle is by sharing the pieces of the puzzle from all sources of one and only one reality.

People of various interests talk about Sustainable Development (SD) and in their talks they understand SD very differently. A lexicographer for example may define SD according to Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary as "the use of natural products and energy in a way that does not harm the environment". While a passer-by may happily dub her society as sustainable if it is providing her with her life needs while considering the needs of generations to come over a very long time. To take it to an extreme edge, the philosopher Luc Ferry [1] defines SD by saying: "I know that this term is obligatory, but I find it also absurd, or rather so vague that it says nothing!".
In this paper we try to define and measure SD in Scandinavian countries using a novel mathematical approach. We rely on a non-concrete model for this purpose; namely the SAFE model, which is based on concepts derived from fuzzy logic. It is widely believed that the application of fuzzy logic brings powerful reasoning abilities in disciplines where concrete mathematical models do not exist; and SD is one such discipline. In fact, fuzzy logic is an outstanding tool for mimicking human thinking and foresight. Based on the SAFE model, we give a careful assessments of sustainability in each of the Scandinavian countries. We also undergo a trend monitoring combined with a sensitivity analysis in order to stand on the most important sustainability factors in each of these countries.

This paper will describe the implementation of competitively based and highly structured scientific programs in a framework of a science school at Chalmers University of Technology. We discuss the implementation, advantages and disadvantages of those programs, the requirements students and supervisors should fulfill, whether from the academia or from the industry, and we present the selection method of participants. We also reflect on the results of a survey conducted recently among Chalmers academic staff. We believe that the installation of this science school at Chalmers brings many advantages to students, starting with a better understanding of industry practices and ending with an easier path to recruitment. It further helps employers in efficiently administering the process of hiring students and in discovering technological breakthroughs. Moreover, it enables the university to establish better connections with the industry and later use its feedback to enhance academic courses and the content of those courses. Our method derives from the successful practices of a pioneering science school at the Israeli Weizmann Institute of Science; namely the Kupcinet-Getz Science School for Israeli and International Students. The method further acquires practices from published literature of relevance to our discussion. We aspire Chalmers Science School to be a blueprint for any emerging or evolving science school at any educational institute worldwide.

Free macro bodies have a natural tendency to gradually reshape themselves to perfect spheres in three dimensional space. Sub-structured macro bodies tend to increase their existence into most number of spatial dimensions. This is the result of (apparent) interactions between its constituent matter particles. Contrary to this tendency of macro bodies, pure (unstructured) matter particles tend to reduce their existence into minimum number of spatial dimensions. This contradictory behaviour of matter (in its pure state and in sub-structured state) can be shown as the basis of all physical phenomena in nature, including creation, sustenance, (apparent) interactions and eventual destruction of macro bodies.

This is the (possible) culmination of premonitions I've been having about the future of science for about 30 years. My ideas often come to me in a flash, almost fully formed. Sometimes I read something in a science magazine which gives me a feeling that it's incredibly special for some reason. Then I think about it for a few hours and end up writing down things that are insanely ridiculous according to present science (but I have no doubt everybody will accept them in the future). My latest article - I shouldn't call it mine because it feels like knowledge that belongs to the whole universe throughout all time - began with explanation of instant intergalactic and time travel which I then adapted into a scientific explanation for how magick spells work and how sex changes can be performed using only the mind. This last example relies on something which stimulates the emotions, and shows that emotion can be used to stimulate the mind's reasoning processes (of course, any medical doctor will tell you that it has only stimulated ridiculous insanity in my mind - a preconception reinforced by my lack of a university degree, or any formal qualifications beyond high school).

Operators, as both conceptual and physical entities, are found throughout the world as a common feature of human mind, nature and society. As a reflection, operators are the basic tool in physics, quantum chemistry and genetics, playing an important role in other sciences. Operators, and what they operate, their substrates, targets or operands, have a wide variety of forms, functions and properties. We systematize and study operators which range from the most abstract formal structures and symbols in mathematics and standard logic to real entities, human and non-human, and are responsible for effecting changes at both the individual and social level. The emphasis of this paper is on the analysis and characterization of relations between natural operators and operators in science. This allows us to explain the success of the operator approach in physics.
By focusing on the nature and properties of operators in science and technology, we also acquire a possibility to achieve a more rigorous logical discussion of cognitive processes in the knowledge-centered information society. In this paper, we build an extensive classification of operators, demonstrate abundance of natural operators, explain how information operates in nature, analyze operators as a theoretical tool and describe to what extent a machine can be an operator. Studying self-operation, we explicate common features of several important phenomena, such as self-organization, self-regulation and self-management. Among our conclusions, we conjecture that the natural-social operator split provides a key criterion for determining what entities may be considered autonomous, morally responsible agents.

The information essence of the Universe dominates over its physical aspect. Its dynamic hierarchic information structure is a manifestation of a divine Mind with its Idea (Intelligence), so the Universe is rational and comprehensible for us. Our individual consciousness as a part of universal consciousness of God deals with information carried by energy. Only consciousness can give the real sense to information coming to us from the objective world through energy supporters. Divine universal as well as our individual consciousness (subject) create the internal side of the Universe reflecting its external side (object) represented by structured quantum energy as a holder of divine information structure and architecture. Information encodes the creative power of consciousness. The physical Universe (non-living and living Nature) with its unbelievably rich information contents is a true food for our senses and our mind in the process of our conscious cognition and creativity.

While "Information" is a good and very general characterization of the fundamental significance of matter, both for the "Tetrahedron Model" and the Universe, it is not quite "active" enough in its meaning to successfully complement and connect to the other three conservation principles of the Tetrahedron Model. "Information" is an energy state or configuration, whereas the Conservation of Energy, Entropy, and the Conservation of Symmetry are aggressively protected conservation principles. Causality is also an actively protected conservation principle, and it connects with the other three in a very profound and illuminating way, as we shall hopefully see below. Meanwhile, although "Information" is to be demoted to a secondary position in terms of activity or action among the "Tetragrammaton" of conservation laws, it obviously remains of first importance as regards the description of the significance of the system in its entirety. It is in fact the potent combination of Causality and Information that makes up matter's "causal matrix" within the conservation domain of historic spacetime, the "Karma" and "Akashic Record" of metaphysical systems of thought. Causality and Information depend upon each other for much of their meaning, but the linkage to the remaining conservation laws is clearer and stronger in the case of Casualty. Finally, Causality necessarily implies Information, but not the reverse. Information therefore remains as a corollary of Causality. Information is a conserved parameter in quantum mechanics and in historical spacetime.

A broad outline of future discoveries concerning the workings of Nature, and of science's reconciliation with religion.
"If a complete unified theory was discovered, it
would only be a matter of time before it was
digested and simplified ... and taught in schools,
at least in outline. We should then all be able to
have some understanding of the laws that govern
the universe and are responsible for our
existence."
("A Brief History of Time" by Stephen Hawking,
Introduction by Carl Sagan)
I saw a video ("Hidden Dimensions: Exploring
Hyperspace") in which it was stated that
mathematicians are free to imagine anything while
physicists work in a very different environment
constrained by experiment, and that the American
physicist Richard Feynman (1918-1988) said
scientists work in a straitjacket. Well, Albert
Einstein (1879-1955) said "Imagination is more
important than knowledge" so let's see what
happens when we throw away everyday tradition
and conformity, let our imaginations fly (while
trying to stay grounded in science and
technology), and thus release science from its
straitjacket!

This book is the companion volume of "Neutrosophic Interpretation of Tao Te
Ching,” its purpose is to extend the foundation and application range of “The
Analects of Confucius.” The reasons for this are as follows. Firstly, we are willing to
point out that The Analects of Confucius already has some limitations, because
many questions we are interested in cannot be answered within “The Analects of
Confucius.” For example, The Analects of Confucius basically discussed the
matters in China, however considering all possible situations it should matter in
foreign countries as well, i.e. the “global village.” This was impossible in Confucian
time. Secondly, if the original The Analects of Confucius is regarded as “The
Positive Analects of Confucius,” its opposite would be “The Negative Analects of
Confucius,” while the intermediate or compound state is “The Neutral Analects of
Confucius” or “The Neutrosophic Analects of Confucius.” Thus, our book presents
the way to extend the original The Analects of Confucius in various neutrosophic
interpretations.
本書是《道德經的中智學解讀和擴充—正反及中智道德經》的姊妹篇，其目的是試圖
從形式和內容上對《論語》進行求新、求變、求擴充的工作。首先我們願意指出，由於時
代的限制，《論語》具有很大的局限性，當代人感興趣的很多問題，在《論語》中根本不可
能涉及。舉例來說，《論語》討論的基本上都是中國的事情，然而考慮一切可能的情況，在
研究某些問題時，不但要考慮中國的事情，而且要考慮外國的事情，亦即考慮資訊網路時
代“地球村”的事情，這在孔子年代是不可能的。其次，如果將原有的“論語”視為“正
論語”，其對立面就是“反論語”，而處於中間或複合狀態的就是 “中性論語”（或“中智
論語”）。本書給出了對於原有的《論語》用中智學方法進行解讀和實施千變萬化的途徑，
使其可以在相當大的範圍內擴充。

A novel conceptual model is described for time, one that is independent of existing theories. The cordus conjecture suggests that time consists of frequency oscillations of matter. The arrow is applied to time where irreversibility arises. The interconnectedness of matter, via its fields, creates a patchwork of temporal cause-and-effect. At its most basic level time originates with the frequency cycles of the particules of matter and photons. The rate of time is thus determined by the mass of the particule, in turn how it is assembled, from what subcomponents, and the external environment (hence also time-dilation). Thus time is locally generated, and cordus rejects the idea of an absolute clock. The forward arrow is only applied to the ticks of time when irreversibility arises. The paper explains how the irreversibility arises, in terms of the interaction between two volumes of matter and the statistically impossibility of returning all particules in the system to their original positions and states. Thus decoherence, irreversibility, entropy, cause-and-effect, and the arrow of time all arise at the same discontinuity in physics. There is a connectedness between volumes of matter that are at different geometric locations. A phenomena that occurs in one volume is communicated via photons, or massy particules, or fields, to other matter around it. This communication applies cause positional constraints on the recipient. The combination of connectedness, frequency, and irreversibility, results in temporal cause-and-effect. Thus human perceptions of time are a construct, with all the potential for illusion that implies, founded on a real physical principle of temporal causality. Time is a series of delayed irreversible interactions (temporal ratchets) between matter, not a dimension that can be traversed in both directions. Cordus provides a more basic concept of time from which quantum mechanics and general relativity emerge as different approximations. The resulting conceptual model provides a novel integration of quantum mechanics, general relativity, and the human-perception models of time.

A significant problem in education is pinpointing the importance of the information received. This work proposes a model, which argues that we can improve the understanding of the knowledge we are receiving through dividing it in two categories – problems and solutions/alleviations. The expected result of the model is an improved understanding of the knowledge received and its use, through critical thinking, and a way of understanding why the particular knowledge exists. It also provides us an understanding of the form of knowledge.

Defining the concept of science in a manner which allows marking the line between science and non-science has been a longstanding problem in the philosophy of science, known as the demarcation problem. Here we propose a solution which arrests the problem through worldblocking it, that is, we categorize all that is in the world through three categories and leave all the rest as non-science.

This article demonstrates that the 1980 Rendlesham Forest UFO event, the 2002 Crabwood crop formation, and the 2010 Wilton Windmill crop formation are all logically connected. Each event yielded a set of binary data which was decoded using a single image decoding algorithm discovered in part of the Wilton Windmill data set. Remarkably, four meaningful images were decoded from that data set by ordering the data bits in different ways. One image shows a bipedal figure with one arm raised. Another shows the same figure in a different pose with the other arm raised. A third image shows a face with large ears as in a drawing of a bunny in a child's book. A fourth image shows what appears to be a child riding a tricycle. The data set from the Crabwood formation was decoded as a bipedal figure extending a three-fingered hand in greeting. Finally, the data set from the UFO encounter in Rendlesham Forest was decoded as the
profile of a sitting cat or dog. Evidently, a plan was devised before 1980 to deliver the
encoded images, and to allow them to be revealed only in 2010 when the decoding algorithm would be provided. The anomalous flight technologies reported by witnesses at Rendlesham Forest, the
extraordinary methods and technology required to construct the Crabwood formation, and the extremely complicated way that images were encoded in the Wilton Windmill formation, are evidence that an agency with exceptional capabilities orchestrated the events. The symbols of greeting in the images and other benign content convey the message that a meeting is anticipated and that we should not fear it. This further implies that the meeting will be with non-terrestrial entities, else the message would be trivial.

It is believed that the uncertainty relation of momentum and coordinates, as well as the uncertainty relation of energy and time in practice are not observed in the macrocosm. The objective of the work at hand was to demonstrate the existence of general physical uncertainty relations that extend to macrobodies.
A macroscopic object consisting of a rod equipped with a pair of synchronized clocks and a macroscopic object in and of itself performing the function of an ideal physical clock are examined. General physical relations are directly derived from Lorentz transformations for the case of the object's one-dimensional motion (along the X axis) – the uncertainty relation of the object's x coordinate and the projection of its impulse along the X axis, px, and the uncertainty relation of the object's observation time, t, and its energy, E. The relations take the form: ΔpxΔx ≥ H and ΔEΔt ≥ H. The H value in the relation has action dimensions and is dependent upon the precision of the object's clocks and/or upon the properties of the physical clock. Despite the interpretation of the concept of uncertainty being different from that in quantum mechanics, the relations derived in the limiting case with ideal physical clock take the form of ΔpxΔx ≥ h and ΔEΔt ≥ h, where h is the Planck constant.

This paper addresses the question of whether humans will ever be able to settle space in an economically sustainable way and, if there is still hope of this, where the greatest hope may lie. It reviews key developments of the last 40 years relevant to this issue, such the space shuttle, the National Aerospace Plane, the Russian Ajax effort, nonlinear control challenges, challenges of developing a “skin” to withstand re-entry, current space programs around the world, and key markets for using such vehicles, such as energy from space and space manufacturing.

After the wall of Planck reality as we perceive that “NOW” no longer exists, we are entering a “fifth” dimension the TOTAL SIMULTANAIETY , called TS , we pass the limits of causality at the quantum scale. This non causal side of TS can be “reached” on every point of our 4 dimensional universe, every quantum of the universe has the diameter of 1.616252 x 10^ -33cm, singularities only exist in our consciousness. The other limit of causality is the local speed of light c, where time stands still so there is no more before and after. In TS all information of all parallel universes and multiversity constitution is simultaneously present and available, our consciousness is able to align points out of this TS and so create the observable analogue universe that we are aware of. The totality of information from other universes (also partly observable by other consciousnesses) is influencing our linear causal deterministic universe, the origin of gravity , dark matter and the dark force possible emerge from here. The Big Bang is an imaginary non existing point in the TS area. Inflation is avoided by projecting inflation time into the area after the Wall of Planck, uniformity in the structure of space-time is so guaranteed. Our mind with its 100 billion neurones is able to cope with infinities because it has parallels with the qualities of TS. By entanglement we created our own baryonic universe.

At the present time the USA’s Federal Government spends enormous sums of taxpayer money for Scientific Research and Development (R&D). How to best organize this vast governmental activity, how to best estimate its ultimate utility and profitability (real and potential), how to best increase efficiency of innovation and production, how to best estimate the worth of new discoveries and innovations, how to properly fund R&D of new concepts and innovations, and how to correctly estimate their results are all complex and pressing questions that require answers for further industrial progress and scientific improvements. These are critical macro-problems which because of its scope have evolved into new macro-systems that require a new approach for successful planning of scientific research. The authors consider these major-system problems and offer many remarkable innovations in organization, estimation, suggestions for entirely new research efficiency criteria, development, new methods for assessments of new ideas, innovations in science and industry, and new methods in patenting technology. These suggestions are based largely on the personal experiences of one of the authors, A.A. Bolonkin who worked for many years within the USA’s Federal Government entities (scientific laboratories of NASA, Air Force), and USSR and USA universities and industry.

The process of error recognition is explored first in statistics, and then in science. The
Type II error found in statistical hypothesis testing is found analogous to Karl Popper's "logical
probability" that is intended to measure the likelihood that a scientific theory can avoid its
refutation. Nevertheless, Popper's reliance on deductive thinking is found detracting from his
demarcation that separates science and metaphysics. An improved critical logic for science is
presented that permits error recognition more broadly: for induction by Popper's falsification
principle; but also for deduction and emotionality. The reality of induction creates a limitation for
a science that has not accommodated a fuller menu of error recognition. The reality of induction
places limits of what can be known from empiricism, and this has philosophical implications.

Despite the achievements in different fields of natural science we are far from understanding
our origin. The advancement in this field could not be successful if our vision about the
Universe based on the adopted concept of space is wrong. The present model of expanding Universe
relies on a concept of space adopted at the beginning of past century. Presently, some
experiments and a large number of accumulated observations indicate that the adopted concept
of space is not correct. This not only causes problems in Theoretical Physics, but is also
responsible for the missing connections between Physics, Philosophy and Religion. Physics
based on a new space concept provides a promising expectation for solving these problems while
putting a new light about our origin.

The Sixth International Anthology on Paradoxism
Started in 1980's as an anti-totalitarian protest based on excessive use
of contradictions, antitheses, antinomies, deviations of sense, paradoxes in
the creation process, the paradoxism as a literary movement was rapidly
spread through the creators in the world, finding applications in many fields
(such as geometry, physics, logics, literature), and his founder, University
Professor Florentin Smarandache, Ph D, a refugee from Romania who now
settles in New Mexico State, USA, became a well-known personality.
The actual paradoxist anthology presents, at the beginning, articles and
chronicles in various languages (English, French, Albanian, Spanish,
Chinese, Romanian) about paradoxism and its applications, gathered from
the folklore, from popular jokes, and also paradoxist arithmetic and
geometries, paradoxist images from our today's reality. In the second part
the anthology alphabetically groups 35 authors (translators included) and
their literary paradoxist creations - from countries like Australia, Albania,
Canada, China, Republic of Moldova, Romania, Spain, and United States.

Complexity plays an important role in all kinds of human activity as well
as in nature. Complexity can be defined in terms of the number of relations that must
be handled accounted relative to the number of potential relations. Modularization is
an efficient methodology that helps reducing the number of relevant relations. It has
the property that it becomes more efficient when the availability and the diversity of
modules that can be coupled. Its efficiency can grow exponentially when modules can be
generated out of simpler modules. In nature this effect leads to the generation of very
complex creatures, such as intelligent species.

Paradoxism can be used in any domain. We can PARADOXISM-IZE (also said To S-Deny) any
theory by partially validating and partially negating it, or only negating it but in multiple ways.
In each case, we put together conflicting ideas in the same theory, whence the paradoxism.
This is the first paradoxist SCIENTIFIC MANIFESTO to be used in the literary work, and the
sixth paradoxist manifesto in general.
By paradoxismizing a <notion> one can get a <pseudo-notion> or <quasi-notion> (for example:
paradoxismizing the norm one gets a pseudo-norm in mathematics, or paradoxismizing the
associativity we get the quasi-associativity in information fusion), but they are still useful in
science.
In this paper we introduce the operators of validation and invalidation (the second one is
paradoxist in nature) of a proposition, and we extend the operator of paradoxismizing (or Sdenying))
a proposition, or an axiomatic system, from the geometric space to respectively any
theory in any domain of knowledge, and show six examples in geometry, in mathematical
analysis, and in topology.

This paper is less about religion than about science. It is meant as advice to
physicists, physics teachers, biologists, or others who may find themselves
confronted by Creationism when discussion of the theory of evolution, or of other
scientific issues, is perceived as bearing on religious writings or dogma.

The Neutrosophic Research Method is a generalization of Hegel's dialectic, and
suggests that scientific and humanistic research will progress via studying not only
the opposite ideas but the neutral ideas related to them as well in order to have a
bigger picture of the whole problem to solve.

The fourth volume, in my book series of "Collected Papers", includes 100 published and
unpublished articles, notes, (preliminary) drafts containing just ideas to be further investigated,
scientific souvenirs, scientific blogs, project proposals, small experiments, solved and unsolved
problems and conjectures, updated or alternative versions of previous papers, short or long
humanistic essays, letters to the editors - all collected in the previous three decades
(1980-2010) - but most of them are from the last decade (2000-2010), some of them being lost and found, yet
others are extended, diversified, improved versions.

In this article, we will shortly review a few old thoughts and recent thoughts on the
relation between Mathematics and the Natural Sciences. Of course, the classic references
to this open problem will include Wigner's paper (1964); a more recent review article is
Darvas (2008). But it appears that this issue is partly on the domain of natural philosophy
and also philosophy of inquiry. Therefore we will begin with a review on some known
thoughts of Kant, Bacon, Popper, etc.

Neutrosophic Logic (NL) is a Theory of Everything in logics, since it is the most general
so far. In the Neutrosophic Propositional Calculus a neutrosophic proposition has the
truth value (T, I, F), where T is the degree of truth, I is the degree of indeterminacy (or
neutral, i.e. neither truth nor falsehood), and F is the degree of falsehood, where T, I, F
standard or non-standard subsets of the non-standard unit interval ]-0, 1+[. In addition,
these values may vary over time, space, hidden parameters, etc.
Therefore, NL is a triple-infinite logic but, by splitting the Indeterminacy, we prove in
this article that NL is a n-infinite logic, with n = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, ... .
Also, we present a total order on Neutrosophic Logic.

meditations / reflections on science, comments, hypotheses, proposals, comparisons of
ideas, possible projects, extensions or deviations or alternatives to classical knowledge,
etc. selected from e-mails, letters, drafts, conversations, impressions, etc.
We introduce the non-standard quaternion space and non-standard biquaternion space
[and even a generalization of them to a general non-standard vector space of any
dimension] as possible working spaces for connecting the micro- and macro-levels in
physics. Neutrosophy is a MetaPhilosophy.

To deal with tough issues in knowledge management, the paper reexamines knowledge structure
and has proposed a novel knowledge communication model based on the oriental cultural foundation.
Knowledge discovery is not a simple addition or accumulation of information, but needs a feasible structural
description. As an oriental approach, the paper constructs the structure on the bases of unity of opposites and
their neutralities (as in neutrosophy; neutralities are the included middle of two opposites), which stresses
the individualized self knowledge pattern or self knowledge structure. It signifies the dynamics in
knowledge management - the principle of attraction between opposite natures and the neutralities in
between them. It implies an identity in the opposites which serves as the impartial knowledge (since the
opposites tend towards their neutralities), the completeness of knowledge, which is defined in the paper as
imaginary part of knowledge.

A heuristic argument was presented in favor of hypothesis that
scientific communication corresponds to a process known as
scale-free network. As a result, it is argued that scientific
referencing through citation follows the same process,
therefore it could be expected that this shall also exhibit
fractality as observed in various phenomena associated with
scale-free networks. This argument appears conceivable
because the process of citation involves a decision-making,
coined here as 'citation game.' In this regard, it is
recommended to conduct citation analysis to measure the
fractality of this process. While at present this heuristic
argument cannot be considered as conclusive, further research
is recommended to verify or refute this hypothesis.

Neutrosophy is ascribed to Dr. Florentin Smarandache,
professor of mathematics and sciences, and head of its
department at the University of New Mexico - Gallup (USA).
The main aim of this book is to provide the reader with the
philosophy of neutrosophy and its application to the
Arabic-Islamic thought. So the book is divided into two parts; the first
belongs to prof. Smarandache, in which he exposes his
philosophy of neutrosophy. The second belongs to Dr. Salah
Osman, assistant professor of logic and the philosophy of
science in Minufiya university - in which he applies the
philosophy of neutrosophy to the Arabic-Islamic thought.

Paradoxismul este un curent de avangardă care se bazează pe folosirea excesivă – atât în spaţiu mic, cât şi la nivel global al operei – de antiteze, antinomii, antipozi, oximoroane, contradicţii, aporii, situaţii paradoxale, plus experimente în literatură, filosofie, artă. Etimologic, evident: paradox+ism. Scopul este lărgirea sferei artistice prin elemente neartistice. Dar, mai ales, creaţia în răspăr, în contra-timp, în contra-sens. Se preconizează că sensul are un non-sens şi, reciproc, non-sensul are un sens. Ca motto se foloseşte paradoxul “Totul este posibil, chiar şi imposibilul!”. Iar emblema este o spirală, ca iluzie optică ori ca un cerc vicios. Direcţiile de dezvoltare cuprind crearea de lucrări literare, artistice, filosofice, chiar ştiinţifice, care să releveze contradicţii, antagonisme, plus experimente în acest scop.

Authors: Giorgio Fabretti (Id.no.: FBRGRG51E18H501B)
Comments: 20 Pages. An updated definition of "Ethical Materialism", radically new after DNA discoveries, abstracted by the original philosophical essays of Giorgio Fabretti, plus 2 appendixes reasonably needed after the first comments to the 1st submission on Vixra
"What ETHICAL MATERIALISM means in the 3rd millennium" is the title of a synthesis from the original philosophy of Giorgio Fabretti, Doctor in Philosophy and Anthropology since 1973 in the University of Rome "La Sapienza", Italy, cured and translated by the editors of the foundation "Fondo Fabretti".
The originality of "Ethical Materialism" is the unifying conception of reality as a relational 'continuum' of ancient and new dichotomies like logic versus matter, axioms vs. systems, ethical vs. realistic, subjectivity vs. objectivity - conceived through a sort of 'copernican cognitive evolution', due to his scientific studies on quantum physics, cybernetics & DNA discoveries - and leading to a 'Weltanschauung', a vision of reality, as an 'updated map of the universe'.
In such a new copernican map of reality, 'matter' language directly comes from the logic, it is made of logic, it never loose its logic, it is driven by the logic that operates in what humans in the 3rd millennium represent as stringent stochastic fractal logarithms: being the 'stringent' factor what human common language and self-consciousness translate and define as "the material properties of reality" (being the Man the human factor within the logic operations).
Being reality conceived here as a time-set logic system generating matter, it is possible to conceive its axiomatic foundations as the ethical premises and instructional guides and glossary of logic operations, leading to an evolutionary design.
That is a balanced synthesis of ethical and material reality, free fundamental choices (both in the 'Big Bang' universe and in self-conscious 'Weltanschauung') and material (stochastic, non-linear, fractal) complexity.
The synthetic definition of "ETHICAL MATERIALISM", (as explained in the attached short 6 pages) was a needed reference to update its meaning in the panorama of the new conceptions in GENERAL SCIENCE , radically evolved after the new scientific discoveries in Phisics, Computer Sciences and DNA Biology and Anthropology.
Since it appears worldwide that all the epistemological conceptions of the past millennium have suddenly gone obsolete, straight into the Science Museums, this radically original systematic approach was a 'due attempt' to finally break the many conceptual 'ancient walls', between ethical and material reality, between human social sciences and natural mathematic sciences.
It also includes an appendix 2 on the biographical origin of the new conception of Ethical Materialism related to DNA discoveries, and an appendix 3 on the ETHICAL MATERIALISM as a return trip from empirical science to religious faith and viceversa, made easier by the recent scientifical and technological discoveries in physics, genetics and computer sciences.

Here's a detailed, nonfictional explanation of why time travel (into both the future and past)
is not impossible – I’ve tried to exclude mathematics as much as possible since my
goal is to present an explanation of physical reality, and to make it comprehensible to the
nonmathematician (I have referred to some maths, e.g. the Poincare conjecture, but have always used
English). My text also seeks to explain, in nonfictional terms, phenomena such as intergalactic
travel, hyperspace and space-time’s nature. This last point includes a new way of viewing
gravity which explains dark energy and is based on Einstein’s work – as well as viewing
gravity as fundamental to the nuclear forces and electromagnetism as well as fundamental to the
composition of matter and mass (also based on Einstein’s work). The article does speak of
God, but definitely not in any way you’ve heard of. And while I don’t believe evolution
accounts for the origin of living species, I have no doubt that it does cause modifications in
those species. To grossly oversimplify the article, intelligent beings spend thousands of years
learning more and more about science. Then they discover how to time travel into the past (early
21st-century physics only believes in time travel to the future) where they put future biotechnology
and computer science into practice (these sciences are far more advanced than today’s science).
While the planned Mars mission of 2018 is robotic, we cannot limit our sights to that since we hope
to follow with manned exploration of the Red Planet in the 2030’s. The physical bodies and
psychology, as well as technology, we possess now or will possess in the foreseeable future are
not well suited to prolonged space travel (e.g. our brains and bodies are vulnerable to radiation,
muscle and bone loss, abnormal psychology, etc. when travelling in space … and simply reaching
nearby stars would take hundreds or thousands of years). However, there is an alternative to astronauts
(or cosmonauts, or taikonauts) reaching Mars and being unable to walk, or think clearly. We can thank
the theories of Albert Einstein, an electrical engineering experiment conducted at Yale University in
2009, and some conclusions that logically follow from Einstein/Yale, for pointing the way to this
alternative. When fully developed, the “Einstein-Yale Bridge” will take us anywhere in
the universe and anywhen in time.

This new theory explains physical phenomena according to the dictates of intuition historically recognized (determinism of their laws, absolute character of instants, lack of speed limit...) and assuming all verified achievements of classical and quantum theories, while replacing the principles considered erroneous with new ones, which allow to derive all fields of force from a single (gravelectric) potential, generated by matter each of whose (elementary) particles consists of two semiparticles (antiparticles one another), endowed with charges of types (gravon or lectron) and values (positive or negative) opposite each other, associated with senses of translation (dextrorse or sinistrorse, each own of one of both transor components of any rotor, in the postulated geometry of space) also contrary each other, and in mutually determined solidary states.
Some particular achievements of this theory are:
– New concepts (all defined mathematically, denoted some with neologisms) of: (physical point) medium; spatial (global character) geometry; medial (local character) geometry; particle; semiparticle (or semiparticular component of particle: gravon or lectron); particle charge; semiparticle charge; semiparticle transorial sense; semiparticle density field (scalar of charge, rectorial of current); fundamental field (scalar of medium density, rectorial of physical point velocity); gravelectric potential (scalar, rectorial); total (gravonic or lectronic) density field (of charge, of current); gravonic (time advanced) and lectronic (time retarded) components of the gravelectric potencial; semiparticle (transorial) current; semiparticle (scalar) coenergy and (rotorial) coimpulse; semiparticular (gravonic and lectronic) momenta (scalar energies, rotorial impulses) of particle; semiparticle comass and particle mass; semiparticle coinertia and particle inertia; particle own (rotorial) velocity and primary and secondary components of its own; active and passive charges of a body….
– New quite intuitive postulates interrelating: medial geometry and propagation of gravelectric waves; fundamental field (relative to a space-time reference system) and gravelectric potential (absolute, nonrelative to space-time reference system); continuity condition of fundamental field and Lorentz condition of gravelectric potential; medial geometry and gravelectric potential; type of charge (lectronic, gravonic) and temporal sense (normal, antinormal) of wave generation; transorial senses of both antiparticles; impulse, inertia and velocity primary component of particle; semiparticle densities (of charge and of current) and semiparticle (quantum) wave function….
– Unquestionable explanations of: tridimensional appearance of physical space; existence of (elementary) particles, of two semiparticle charge types and of two transorial senses (of spin); result of Michelson-Morley experiment; bending of light rays by gravitational fields; slowing down of wave frequencies when generated in gravitational fields; origin of terrestrial electric and magnetic field; non-detection (by ordinary means) of photons with velocity appreciably higher than usual constant….
– Natural explanations of: greater accuracy of relativistic quantum theory –errors of the first are offset each other better than those of the second– than of classical theory (providing some feasible experiments for the failure of relativistic predictions); apparent lack of effectiveness of the electric (gravelectric much stronger than ordinary gravitational) fields on conventional neutral corpuscles (with the same number of protons as electrons, but with gravonic net charge); similarity –both are essentially equivalent– of Newton’s and Coulomb’s force laws; quasi-cyclical evolution of ordinary matter universe….
– Intuitive models of stable corpuscle structures, corresponding to proton, neutron, neutrinos, atomic nuclei…, that allow to explain and control their disintegration processes.

This new theory explains physical phenomena with full respect for the dictates of intuition historically recognized (determinism of their laws, absolute character of instants, absence of limit for speed...) and assuming all verified achievements of classical and quantum theories, though reforming their principles in order to make experience and common sense compatible, and to be able to derive all fields of force from only one potential, the so called gravelectric, hence opening new ways that allow us to get further off.

Geographic information systems traditionally dealt with only outdoor spaces. In recent years, indoor spatial information systems have started to attract attention partly due to the increasing use of receptor devices (e.g., RFID readers or wireless sensor networks) in both outdoor and indoor spaces. Applications that employ these devices are expected to span uniformly and supply seamless functionality in both outdoor and indoor spaces. What makes this impossible is the current absence of a unified account of these two types of spaces both in terms of modeling and reasoning about the models. This paper presents a unified model of outdoor and indoor spaces and receptor deployments in these spaces. The model is expressive, flexible, and invariant to the segmentation of a space plan, and the receptor deployment policy. It is focused on partially constrained outdoor and indoor motion, and it aims at underlying the construction of future, powerful reasoning applications.

Comments: 10 Pages. Appeared in the 5th International Conference on Engineering Education in Sustainable Development (EESD 2010), Gothenburg, Sweden
People of various interests talk about Sustainable Development (SD) and in their talks they understand SD very differently. A lexicographer for example may define SD according to Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary as "the use of natural products and energy in a way that does not harm the environment". While a passer-by may happily dub her society as sustainable if it is providing her with her life needs while considering the needs of generations to come over a very long time. To take it to an extreme edge, the philosopher Luc Ferry [1] defines SD by saying: "I know that this term is obligatory, but I find it also absurd, or rather so vague that it says nothing!". In this paper we try to define and measure SD in Scandinavian countries using a novel mathematical approach. We rely on a non-concrete model for this purpose; namely the SAFE model, which is based on concepts derived from fuzzy logic. It is widely believed that the application of fuzzy logic brings powerful reasoning abilities in disciplines where concrete mathematical models do not exist; and SD is one such discipline. In fact, fuzzy logic is an outstanding tool for mimicking human thinking and foresight. Based on the SAFE model, we give a careful assessments of sustainability in each of the Scandinavian countries. We also undergo a trend monitoring combined with a sensitivity analysis in order to stand on the most important sustainability factors in each of these countries.

The goal of this paper is to describe how to implement a pseudo-random number generator by using deterministic n-body dynamics on the unit m-sphere. Throughout this paper we identify several types of patterns in dynamics, along with ways to
interrupt the formation of these patterns.

Complexity plays an important role in all kinds of human activity as well as in nature.
Complexity can be defined in terms of the number of relations that must be handled accounted
relative to the number of potential relations. Modularization is an efficient methodology that
helps reducing the number of relevant relations. It has the property that it becomes more
efficient when the availability and the diversity of modules that can be coupled increase.
Its efficiency can grow exponentially when modules can be generated out of simpler modules.
In nature this effect leads to the generation of very complex creatures, such as intelligent
species. In fact it is possible to interpret this tendency as a new law of nature.

In this paper we introduce the operators of validation and invalidation of a proposition,
and we extend the operator of S-denying a proposition, or an axiomatic system, from
the geometric space to respectively any theory in any domain of knowledge, and show
six examples in geometry, in mathematical analysis, and in topology.

Our sense of individual immortality is a consequence of the self-awareness of the Universe caught knowingly in the act of looking at itself through human eyes. I am how the Universe becomes self-aware and experiences itself. The immortality of the Universe is therefore quite naturally intuited to be my own. The Universe is a conservation domain: all parts of the Universe are immortal or otherwise conserved. Our true immortality is the eternal nature of the Universe itself - including its capacity to continuously evolve and create information, life, and self-knowledge.
Human life oscillates between a generalized (genomic) and a specific (individual) expression. The creation of a new human being is remarkably analogous to the creation of a new elementary particle: both processes require a symmetric energy state which recapitulates the original environmental conditions of its specialized domain.

Neutrosophy is ascribed to Dr. Florentin Smarandache,
professor of mathematics and sciences, and head of its
department at the University of New Mexico - Gallup (USA).
The main aim of this book is to provide the reader with the
philosophy of neutrosophy and its application to the
Arabic-Islamic thought. So the book is divided into two parts; the first
belongs to prof. Smarandache, in which he exposes his
philosophy of neutrosophy. The second belongs to Dr. Salah
Osman, assistant professor of logic and the philosophy of
science in Minufiya university - in which he applies the
philosophy of neutrosophy to the Arabic-Islamic thought.

The realm of matter is a conserved, asymmetric, local form of the "ideal" global realm of light and perfect symmetry. It is due to its asymmetric character, expressed as charge and information, and its entropic drives, both positive and negative, that this alternative form of reality has the potential not just for conservation, but for change, growth, and evolution, even bringing forth life from inanimate atoms. Life evolves to self-knowledge, explores the Cosmos and new modes of creativity, producing new forms of beauty. The four principles of the "Tetrahedron Model" (conservation of energy, entropy, conservation of symmetry, causality) are as much "spiritual" principles of "divine law" as they are "scientific" principles of "natural law". This is another example of the convergence of physical scientific thought and metaphysical, spiritual, or religious thought, of the merging of rational and intuitive world views. The "Tetrahedron Model" represents a fundamental example and iteration of a 4x3 algorithmic hierarchy of fractal models, developed in the context and format of "General Systems". "General Systems" is a synthetic conceptual science which excels at bridging apparently disparate disciplines and world views. I will consider each of the 4 principles in turn.

Because the papers themselves can be difficult for the uninitiated, in spite of my efforts to make them simple and clear, I have written a series of introductory papers designed as a guide to assist the interested reader in working through them. I will try to bring out the main points of the paper, its relation to the remaining body of work, and perhaps make a few comments on its history and structure. There is almost no mathematics in these papers; for the most part, the papers deal only with conservation principles, although of course I make reference to the mathematical theories which provide the formal basis for the conceptual synthesis of this work (Noether's theorem, Einstein's "Interval" and energy relations, the 1st and 2nd laws of thermodynamics, etc.).

As Carl Sagan famously said, we are "star stuff" exploring the stars. Life is the information pathway by which the universe achieves consciousness and self-awareness, and begins to explore itself, including evolving new modes of experience, creativity, and beauty. In terms of creativity, humans represent a fractal iteration of the creative energy of the Cosmos, as well as of its evolutionary powers. Because the entire material universe devolves from light, matter and life are a conserved form of the information content latent in the energy of light, expressed primordially through the broken symmetry of light leading to atomic matter and charge conservation. The charges of matter are the symmetry debts of light (Noether's Theorem), and through these charges the energy of light is transformed into the information content of the world. Hence it is ultimately through the connection between atoms and light, charge conservation and symmetry conservation, that humans retain their connection to the primordial creative energies and latent information content of the universe (and the multiverse).
