“The strongest is never strong enough to be always the master, unless he transforms strength into right and obedience into duty.”
- Jean Jacques Rousseau

“One big problem is that we all know that we live in a globalised world, but our politics remain local or national. This is a problem for those, like me, who are convinced that the world needs more global-level, multilateral co-operation. For I am also a democrat in believing that power has to be accountable. So the question becomes: how do you make global governance more effective while making it also democratically accountable?”
- Javier Solana, Countering globalisation’s dark side, 2008

Living in a grand universe…

“Since gravity is a property of matter, which in turn is an electrical phenomenon, Einstein’s hyper-dimensional geometry is not going to reveal the true nature of gravity whether general relativity gives the right answers or not.

The two tests mentioned ignore the possibility that both phenomena may be explained or influenced by factors considered in another more simple and all-encompassing theory.

Subtle deviations in the position of Mercury will occur as a result of charge transfer with the Sun due to the planet’s eccentric orbit. Charge transfer alters the internal electrical stress of Mercury. That subtly alters the planet’s mass, which by the law of conservation of orbital energy shifts its orbit.

The second test amounts to simple diffraction of the radio signal through an atmosphere. The “atmosphere” is the æther, so cavalierly discarded by Einstein. He never explained how an electromagnetic signal could be transmitted through empty space.

Maxwell’s theory of electromagnetism requires an æther — “something to carry the wave.”

That “something” is a universal plenum of ghostly neutrinos. Though they have vanishingly small mass, they respond to the gravitational field of a star or planet to form a tenuous but extensive “atmosphere.” It is that atmosphere which refracts light or radio signals.

There is definitely real physics beyond Einstein’s speculations. The unquestioning acceptance of his idiosyncratic theories of relativity has diverted untold resources down blind alleys for almost a century.

It is time to divert attention to the Electric Universe in this 21st century!”

Creation… Renaissance of Openness.

“Our vision of White Knight 2 would be part of a much longer development program. Have open architecture like Linux to allow other people to develop new vehicles and revolutionize new industrial uses of space.”

Guidance and direction, warmed by the language of…

“I describe in this paper the creation and operation of the Open Science Grid, a distributed shared cyberinfrastructure driven by the milestones of a diverse group of research communities.”

…Affection. Humans first!

This consists of an accompaniment during the developing affective relationship between the father, mother and child. It encourages the bonds of parenthood, the welcoming of the child, and an openess to life.

Plus lots of fusion energy.

“Levitated Dipole eXperiment (LDX) is a novel experimental device designed to explore the physics of plasma confinement in a magnetic dipole field. What makes it unique? Besides levitating a 1/2 ton superconducting ring, we will conduct the first experimental test on the theory of plasma confinement by adiabatic compressibility. If this concept turns out to be correct, levitated dipoles may one day make an attractive magnetically confined fusion energy source.”

“It is often merely for an excuse that we say things are impossible.”
- Francois de La Rochefoucauld
