Quantum Realism Roadmap-Checklist

i was debating with myself about publishing this 'story' on NowPublic because my last essay was nicely balanced between science and spirituality. The following essay is more like a 'seed of a new tree/branch' of science. The only reason i publish it here is because i believe...

temporal relativity, spacelet theory, and coherent processes

In honor of Richard Feynman, in sincere humility, i hereby found a new branch of science with three main branchlets: temporal relativity, spacelet theory, and coherent processes. TR is the theoretical foundation behind spacelet theory. ST is the fully deterministic theory of...

Can we dispense with elastic time?

i'm guessing not - more on that below .. i spent the day doing four things: trying to visualize the interaction (and structure) of spacelets with flux vortices that may comprise elementary particles, trying to explain the cycle of plant and animal life to Joe (my nephew),...

Exploring planetary structures via Lense-Thirring and more

If general relativity is correct, one of its implications, Lense-Thirring / frame dragging, should be able to be used to map planetary interiors. The Lense-Thirring effect is basically a twist in space near massive bodies such as planets, stars, and black holes. If proven, it...

More or less evidence for Lense-Thirring

If you perform an arXiv search on Lense-Thirring, you get about 200 papers directly related to the subject. Lense-Thirring is the GR concept purporting a 'twist in space' near massive spinning objects. Contrary to the claims of Gravity Probe B staff, due to noise in the data,...

Frame dragging, a test of GR and TR

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frame-dragginghttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravity_Probe_Bhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LARES_(satellite)If general relativity is correct, frame dragging will be detected by LARES. It was not detected by Gravity Probe B because there was too much...

Public letter to Timothy Clifton

i believe Timothy Clifton will become a recognized conventional authority in the theory of gravitation and general relativity. He submitted his doctoral dissertation at King's College, Cambridge University in August '06. The title of his dissertation is Alternative Theories...

Hey Baby, Your Space or Mine? ;)

When i was at Michigan State, i almost did date a conventional physicist. But in addition to her busy personal life, she had conceptual reasons for avoiding me. She adamantly proclaimed helium is a quantum superfluid and cannot be modeled in any deterministic way*. At that...

Artist Olafur Eliasson on his SFMOMA show and work with brands

"SAN FRANCISCO—For the past 15 years, the Icelandic-Danish artist Olafur Eliasson has made art that engages perceptual, ecological, and temporal themes by harnessing such abundant and ephemeral elements as...

Dalai Lama Visits Chicago

The Dalai Lama continues his Free Tibet campaign, stopping in Chicago, IL before making his way down to Australia."With trademark humility, a hearty laugh and simple suggestions for cultivating compassion in...

Do your memories disappear when you sleep?

This article--which I had to read a few times to get to the heart of, thanks to the folks at Scientific American (more power to you for not playing dumb)--basically breaks down to this: they thought that our...

A Helmet That Lets You Experience God

The helmet has electromagnetic field-emitting solenoids on the sides. It is wired-up to induce religious experiences in the wearer.
