Is Hawkings Mind of God Back From The Future? 2nd Revised Updated Editioni Jack Sarfatti1 A memoir and essays about the strange adventures of a radical conservative theoretical physicist.

What is this book about?

The tales of high-strangeness that follow are the facts as truthfully as I, and the others, can recall. Believe it or not depending on your comfort zone dealing with the uncanny. These are real XFiles from The Twilight Zone beyond The Outer Limits. The quantum world of modern physics is not only weirder than we imagined. It is, perhaps, weirder than we can imagine.ii According to the new hologram universe theory we are surrounded by a two-dimensional computer in the sky. Thats the meaning of the discovery of anti-gravity dark energy accelerating the expansion of space. The computer must be conscious and we are its three-dimensional hologram images projected back from our future. This is a really crazy theory. Is it crazy enough to be true?

Chapter 1 The Wit and Wisdom of the Ancients

Einstein said two things are thought to be infinite - the universe and human gullibility and stupidity. He then added that he was not sure about the universe being infinite. So now I am in the first hour of one of my deaths. The thought made me dizzy. I was reminded of Jack Sarfatti Ph.D. physicist and reincarnation of the eleventh-century mystic Rabbi Sarfattiwith rapt descriptions of how events from the future cause events in the past. Herbert Gold Now that's really a coincidence...Coming events cast their shadows before. - James Joyce, Ulysses In any field, find the strangest thing and then explore it. John Archibald Wheeler The first principle is that you must not fool yourself and you are the easiest person to fool. Richard P. Feynman The Question is: What is The Question? John Archibald Wheeler Are things what they are now because of what they will be as well as what they were?

Submit to Fate without unseemly wrangle. W. S. Gilbert, The Gondoliers I have noticed even people who claim everything is predestined, and that we can do nothing to change it, look before they cross the road. Stephen Hawkingiii Suppose there is even something vaguely teleological about the effects of consciousness, so that a future impression might affect a past action. Roger Penrose It seems to me that biological systems are able in some way to utilize the opposite time-sense in which radiation propagates from future to past. Bizarre as this may appear, they must somehow be working backwards in time. Fred Hoyle

Correcting Professor Hawking if I may be so bold :-) It's not that everything is predestined. It's that everything is post-selected, in Aharonov's sense, at our future event horizon. That is what Hawking called "The Mind of God" a VALIS Cosmic Conscious AI Omega Point GOD(D) Computer. This is a really crazy idea. But the real question is, Is it crazy enough to be true?

How the Hippies Saved Physics

"MIT Physics Professor David Kaiser describes the field of physic's bumpy transition from New Age to cutting edge. In recent years, the field of quantum information science has catapulted to the cutting edge of physics. Long before the big budgets and dedicated teams, however, the field smoldered on the scientific sidelines within the hazy, bong-filled excesses of the 1970's New Age movement. Many of the ideas that now occupy the core of quantum information science once found their home amid an anything-goes counterculture frenzy, a mishmash of spoon-bending psychics, Eastern mysticism, LSD trips, CIA spooks chasing mind-reading dreams, and comparable 'Age of Aquarius' enthusiasts." MIT Video Lecture April 28, 2010, WGBH Forumiv based on his book with the above title.

In June 2011, W. W. Norton is scheduled to publish a book by MIT historian of science David Kaiser entitled How the Hippies Saved Physics that describes some of the colorful events and characters who researched the foundations of quantum physics in the 60s, 70s and 80s. These out-of-the-mainstream scientists focused their attention mostly on Bell's Theorem (published the same year that the Grateful Dead emerged on the scene) and quantum entanglement--topics which today form the basis for the emerging fields of quantum computing and cryptography. Frankly speaking, How the Hippies Saved Physics is a book about me and my friends who were not interested in quantum experiments, who were not interested in quantum theory, but instead passionately involved ourselves in the quest to connect with QUANTUM REALITY itself. And we hoped that Bell's Theorem--which is a THEOREM ABOUT REALITY ITSELF--would help us reach our goal to conjugate with Mother Nature at a far deeper level than mere theory or mere experiment can provide. In short, my companions and I fell in love with Bell's Theorem and wholeheartedly took Her Lure. And with loving detail Professor Kaiser tells our tale. Kaiser's account of our psychedelic drug use, however, is greatly exaggerated. For the most part we

Chapter 2 The Beatnik Physicist by Tony Gantner

I think it's more probable than not we're living in a simulation, perhaps created by a thirteen year old post-singularity superkid as a science fair project. John Walker

Socrates Sarfatti at the Caffe Trieste, North Beach Bohemia - photo McCabe crossed back over Broadway to North Beach. At Poets Plaza, Socrates Sarfatti, a creatively hyperactive, theoretical physicist and UC Berkeleys only outdoor professor, was conducting his weekly seminar. Sarfatti challenged the universe with the dialectical primacy of the Idea, and was one of the few to fearlessly plunge into the subject of consciousness and the role of physics. He came out of the sixties counter-cultural revolution and question authority

13

academia. His was the most popular seminar offered at Berkeleyrequired to be held outdoors anywhere in the Bay Area, except in the event of bad weather---really, really bad weather. Students were on the honor system not to travel to Sarfattis class in a car, and many of the locations were inaccessible by car anyway. The professor had held classes on Alcatraz in the middle of the Bay, in the Mt. Tamalpais ampitheater north of San Francisco, at the summit of Mount Diablo in the East Bay, and even occasionally down south on the Peninsula at joint seminars in the Quad of rival Stanford University. But of all the spots in the Bay Area, Socrates favorite was Poets Plaza where he could spin the universe like a top and offer up his own eloquent model of consciousness. Today, the students sat on the Plazas granite wall benches, others in chairs pulled up from Caffe Trieste. It was ok to drink wine during the seminar, and if you brought a particularly good bottle to share with your fellow outdoor enthusiasts and of course, the professor---Socrates was known to activate his Stardrive and power straight through Einsteins theory of relativity--- particularly if fueled by the likes of Chateau Lafite, Margaux, Latour, Le Pin---to the farthest reaches of his ten dimensional multiuniverse, his speculations like stardust in the solar winds. McCabe noted a number of empty bottles of fine Bordeaux sharing space-time with the students on the granite benches. And, Socrates Sarfatti, his arms and hands outstreached like a gnarled vine, was taking off on an electromagnetic rip, I want us today to consider string theory. Can someone give us a quick definition? One of the graduate students jumped at the opening, All subatomic particles--- protons, neutrons, electrons and the smaller particles theyre made up of---quarks and so on---and all forms of energy---are constructed of strings---infinitely small building blocks that have only a single dimensionlengthbut not height or width. And what else? asked Socrates the iconoclast. Another student, String theory also posits that the universe is multi-dimensional---we all can observe four dimensions, he picked up one of the empty wine bottlesThis has height, width and lengththree dimensional space---and the time we took to drink from itgives us four observable dimensions. String theory suggests ten dimensionsso the other sixwell look around youyou dont see them---they cant be detectedat least not sitting here. And? questioned the professor impulsively. The student continued, still gripping the bottle, Wellthe strings kind of vibrateright?in multiple dimensions---and depending on the nature of the vibration might be observed as matterlike the wine bottle---or light---like the refraction of the afternoon sun off the bottle--or gravity, letting the bottle drop from one hand to the other. Depending on the vibration, it might appear as matter or energyall forms of matter and energy are the result of the vibration of strings. Socrates clapped his hands in delight---a sign that he was pleased with the student's explanationand the use of the wine bottle was an excellent pedagogical touch. But were it that simple, no? It never really is, is it? The scientific dialectic is inexorable. From the pre-Socratic philosophers cosmology to our very own moment sitting in this Plaza, physics undergoes continual refinement and change. Was it not Heraclitus who said, You can never step in the

14

same river twice? McCabe loved seeing Sarfatti perform. His physics was like magic, a continual world of wonder. Sarfatti believed the universe had ordered and understandable meaning, an unutterable truth, that included our own thoughts and intuition, allowing for the interplay between consciousness and the physical world. This was Sarfatti as his best---covered in stardust fleshing out his own cosmology, he could describe the cosmos mathematically, yet lived and explored within and without those parameters---the professor was thought to be a bit loopy at timeshis talks often non-linear, weaving an interdisciplinary tapestry wrapped within consciousness, matter and energy---sometimes difficult to fathomsometimes impossibleit was just such a marvelous moment. The question is, what is the question? Is string theory a single theory? Anyone care to take up the baton? asked Socrates, careening his liminal engine straight through his students heads. As the Mad Hatter said to Alice, If you dont know where youre going, any road will get you there. A woman raised her hand tentatively. Socrates gave her a mildly irritated lookhe hated raised handsit interrupted the flow of an outdoor seminarindoors, raised hands was an acceptable protocoloutdoors was meant to be freer and more fluid. Yes? he said. Wellarent there now a bunch of different string theorieslike a half dozen or sowith different numbers of dimensions and the characteristics of the strings themselvesopen loops, closed loopseven intertwined loopsall of them as plausible as the othersbut having contradictory sets of equations to describe the same phenomena? Thats a fair enough description of where were are right nowso has anyone proposed how to reconcile these apparent conflicting versions? The young woman half raised her hand again, saw she still had the floor, Yeah, Edward Witten. Socrates interrupted, At the Institute for Advanced Study with some colleagues The woman continued, They thought that the different versions of string theory might simply be describing the same phenomena from different perspectives. Right? So they came up with a unifying theory---the M-Theory the M stands for membraneand here is where I get lost but they brought all the string theories together by saying that strings are one-dimensional slices of a two-dimensional membrane vibrating in multi- dimensional space. Sarfatti took the virtual baton back, Good, thats rightso with the M-Theory the underlying structure has been mathematically establishedits consistent with all string theories--- and consistent as well with. the professor looked round the group, With?

15

Silence. With? Come on, come on.. anyone?someonehint, its right in front of your nose McCabe called out, Our own scientific observations of the universe? Ah hah! Socrates laughed when he saw McCabe. His eyes twinkled, pleased by the Jungian synchronicity of McCabes sudden appearance. He gestured at his students then over at McCabe, This people, is McCabe---a columnist who many of you have probably read at one time or another---now a candidate for mayor--- and definitely not a student of physicsbut he is an astute observerand that my friends is why he knew the answerand why communication can be faster-than-light. McCabe waved good-by, Professor Sarfattis wine inflected voice trailing off, String theory also has met challenges of internal mathematical consistency that other attempts to combine quantum mechanics with gravity have not. But until we find a way to observe higher dimensions, MTheory has some problems making predictions that can actually be tested in a laboratory.technologically it may never be provenbut many cosmologists, including Stephen Hawking, are intrigued by it because of its mathematical elegance and simplicity. M-Theory may present us with a Theory of Everything which like E=MC2 is so concise it would fit on a tshirt McCabes head vibrated in a nano-tizzy from the mystico-illuminati of Socrates cosmic ratiocinations. Apart from objective physics, Socrates Sarfatti was famous for his subjective, counterintuitive theory on retrocausality, that events that have not yet occurred can cause action in the present---if events could not only flow from past to future, but as well, from future to past, the apparent intractable challenge of quantum uncertainty could be resolved, and also provide the information necessary for the creation of life. Socrates turned causality and stream of consciousness on its head seeing the one way flow of time as an old and heretofor intractable prejudicehe viewed Michelangelos painting in the Sistine Chapel, Mozarts symphonies, Einsteins theory of relativity as having their origins at least partially in the future---thus the universe was created by intelligent design, the Designer lived far in the future attempting to effect the Now, sending quantum signals, like the thunder of Zeus on Mt. Olympus or the prophecies of Cassandra from within the walls of Troy which were true but always disbelieved, that someone with a particular genius would someday learn to decode---images projected back from the future horizonall the world a Shakespearean hologram. Sarfattis cerebral brilliance had vaporized McCabes hangover which had blessedly slipped from his membrain [Note:Spelling intentional]. He continued home, climbing Telegraph Hill, then looping back down the Filbert stairs to his Napier Lane cottage. He wanted to grab a nap, but there was little time. After showering, he went to the kitchen, opened a coconut and drank the milk. He put a small amount in Squad Cars dishthe milky rich flavor appealed to the cat, but only a couple of tablespoons, more he would leave unfinished. There was a soft knock on his door. It was Monica. The sight of McCabe opening the door, fresh from the shower, a towel loosely slung round his

16

waist, gave her an erotic jolt, I love your outfit, laughed Monica, kissing him and slipping her hand underneath his towel, teasingly stroking him. McCabes smile widened at the touch of Monicas creamy hand. She breathed, I hope you reciprocate sometime. He would gladly, given the opportunity---a woman answering her front door unclad---at least topless---was a sight that he never, ever forgot, and promised a fine evening ahead beginning at the very portal itself. from Chapter 14 of Tony Gantners novel Mc Cabe

Stephen Hawkings Grand Design or Grand Illusion?

Arguing against Stephen Hawkings recent book debunking the Argument from Design we have Bernard Haischs book: The Purpose-Guided Universe. The author, an astrophysicist who was an editor of the Astrophysical Journal for a decade, subtitles this book Believing In Einstein, Darwin, and God. He argues that the militant atheists who have recently argued that science is incompatible with belief in a Creator are mistaken and that, to the contrary, recent scientific results are not only compatible with, but evidence for, the intelligent design of the laws of physics and the initial conditions of the universe. John Walkerv Now that he had effectively stood down on the race for Mayor---McCabe was overcome by a mind-bending, time-twisting sensation on the nature of causality and becoming that had afflicted him since his earliest unshackled memories---final causation and reverse causalityfeedback from the future affecting the present---he couldnt make an egg out of an omelette nor return a cappuccino to the coffee plant and the cows udderbut the laws of physics were dragging him, no matter how much he might protest and believe in free will toward his fate---something that both Aristotle, 333 BC and St. Thomas Aquinas, 1270 AD had posed---reconfigured in his own lifetime at the fringes of modern physics-----between two apparently identical particles with different fates, the difference found only in the future---Zenos arrows of time flying backward and forward-were not the men and women of Greek fable and myth pulled toward an inexorable fate no matter how much they ignored it---character was fate---it was a question of whether your character was cognizant that there was a fate---and intuitively lived with that selfrecognitionAchilles had not ---nor Helen of Troy---but had Ulysses? Since he had made up his mind about the campaign and done the clean deed as it were---cause and effect would ripple back in time unless there was some sort of indeterminate quantum Buddhist-curve ball---barring that---it would seem teleologically that McCabes purpose--assuring an outcome on the mayoral election---at least as to himself---would now work backwards---from the November election to the the present ---particularly since not prevailing was normally the easiest outcome to assure in terms of probabilities. His inchoate understanding of quantum future unfolding---subconsciously decoding future quantum pulses from an intelligent universe--- and as he aged, catching ever stronger glimpses of that obscure message--accorded with his vague sense that he was, with every atom and sub-atomic element in the cosmos---a product of intentional design from a designer living in the far future---creating itself and therefore perhaps partially evolved from us---in which the universe(s) had a set destiny---a

17

cosmos with set final conditions in place---its fate therefore influencing the past---what had not yet happened combining with what has---to shape the present---rather than the normal time sense of past-to-future Big Bang as the beginning measure of sequential events moving toward higher progessively ordered arrangement. Why else would the cosmos appear so conducive to life---and it would explain how life arose---everything having its origin in the future. It was why he doubted Existentialism---believing instead that the weave of our lives was sown in the future--looked at front-to-back rather than back-to-front---and it was with this in mind that McCabe was alert to meaningful coincidence and synchronicity---which when he witnessed it---or thought he had---confirmed his suspicions of the manner in which the universe moved and imprinted his own life. McCabefrom Chaps 19, a novel by Tony Gantner Hawking may be mistaken that God is not necessary if my future horizon hologram computer idea turns out to be correct. How can we decide? Well one thing is that it explains the small dark energy density ~ 1/(area of future horizon)vi with a conscious mind on the horizon. We are images projected back from the future horizon. This is a really crazy idea to be sure. I don't really quite believe it myself. Is it crazy enough to be true

The Age of Merlin by Bridget Saunders

Think Harry Potter meets Alice in Wonderland meets Back to the Future meets The Matrix . But all events are both real and achievable in the near future via physics. It concerns itself with modern physics and the fact that physics is now reaching the point that in past times would have been equated with magic. Physicists today are the magicians of yore. Time travel, invisibility, telepathy, communication with animals, precognition all were once considered to be the stuff of magic but in a few decades from now i.e. within the lifetimes of the children who will see this film, these feats will all be the stuff of mainstream science. Signal Non Locality (SNL) is a theory which explains the otherwise inexplicable phenomena of consciousness, precognition and so forth and this is the lifes work of Dr Jack Sarfatti who is the inspiration for the character of the physicist/Magus in our story. (NB Sarfatti also inspired Dr Emmett Brown of the Back to The Future series) SNL is provocative but finding acceptance. It holds that communication can be faster-than-light and can be forward and backward in time. It sees time as a paradox-free loop with both the future and past affecting the present. There is considerable evidence for this concept at the level of cutting edge physics and support from such luminaries as Sir Roger Penrose and Nobel laureate Brian Josephson.

19

Chapter 3 Futurism Reborn in Modern Physics

The future, and the future alone, is the home of explanation. Henry Dwight Sedgwick, An Apology for Old Maids (1908) Jack Sarfatti (1998) has argued that signal nonlocality could still be allowed in some form of post-quantum theory which incorporates consciousness. He regards signal locality as the microquantum limit of a more general non-equilibrium macro-quantum theory The relationship between micro and macro quantum theory is then similar to that between special and general relativity, with consciousness being intrinsically nonlocal and analogous to curvature. His model involves nonlinear corrections to the Schrodinger equation and may permit retrocausal and precognitive effects (Sarfatti 2002) One also suspects that the new paradigm will incorporate the idea of retrocausality. Bernard Carr, Professor of Physics, London University2 All the world's a hologram, And all the men and women merely hologram images in The Destiny Matrix; They have their exits and their entrances, And one man in his time plays many parts. -My apology to Shakespearevii This futuristviii book explains how Stephen Hawkings Mind of God may well be alive and well at our future Omega Point hologram conscious cosmic computer, and why we age because dark energy accelerates the universe.You are now about to enter into a real Twilight Zone X-Files in which we are 3D hologram images projected from the future Mind of God located on our 2D future event horizon associated with the dark energy accelerating the expansion of our observable universe.ix The UFO datax suggest that we can make Star Trek real. Our Mission Impossible Quixotic objective is to create low power dark energy warp drivexi3 and stargate time travel to the past and to parallel universes next door on neighboring branes.

Worlds Apart? Proc. Soc. Psychical Research, Vol 59, Part 221, June 2008 pp. 30-31 The 2010 Nobel Prize in physics is for one-atom thick sheets of graphene consisting of carbon atoms in a hexagonal lattice. With nano-engineering it may be possible to make a stack of these sheets into a super-strong higher then room temperature superconducting meta-material that can generate a repulsive anti-gravity field for weightless warp drive. Was this the thin foil allegedly found in the 1947 saucer crash at Roswell, New Mexico near our only nuclear bomber base at that time?

The Creation of Adam, Michelangelo, Sistine Chapel ceiling, The Vatican illustrates our observable universe as a the 3D hologram image from our future Omega Point event horizon computer brain of Stephen Hawkings Mind of God. The technical appendix at the end of the book will explain my use of these images in more detail. Samuel Sarfatti was allegedly the personal physician to Pope Julius II . Sarfatti allegedly arranged for Michelangelo to paint the ceiling of the Sistine. This is a Jung-Pauli curious acausal coincidence (synchronicity).xii Acausality hides teleological future causes of present events that are only partially explained by past causes. Quantum theory is all about future causes.

Sarfattis Spark by Rina Shelly Orid

It flew across the capacity-defying room charged with anticipation and landed in the lap of my heart.4 The Spark. That's how we began, Sarfatti and I. At the end of the presentation spell that cloaked us all, I meandered over to The Spark for a closer perusal. It was the delight projected from his eyes beyond his cerebral brilliance that magnetized me in instant non-time recognition. I knew geniuses in my life but this one combusted with a secret energy source. He twinkled. I told him so. I actually heard myself tell him that his eyes twinkled like Henry Miller's. And that was our first hello. Edward Teller had kept me riveted on the notorious history edge of my physics front row center seat at Cal long ago, like U2's Bono holding 100,000 stadium fans mesmerized in one note, one wail. But Sarfatti was captivating on a personal sub-atomic particle level. While totally serious about and dedicated to his lifework physics matter dark or light, theoretical pundit or quantum, he saw the humor at the seams of it all -- along with the wonder (i.e. there are no seams). The universe was his to challenge and he challenged it outside the box, outside the outside, beating at the status quo. Indeed un enfant terrible. Part of the Sarfatti magic is the non-linear nature of his talks, his teachings, his sharings. He drums rhythmic illuminations. Sarfatti weaves an interdisciplinary tapestry not only as backdrop to his physics but as the connective plasmic tissue that links and binds the micro-macro, the universe, the infinite, the all/All. Several weeks ago I opened one of my long ago journals at random. Reaching into the diaries treasure chest heavy drawer of my antique cabinet, I pulled a journal out of its labyrinth and an entry leaped at me: September 16, 1986 Galesteo, New Mexico "Esalen Institute. Go there. Jack Sarfatti, physicist director of (Physics) Consciousness Research Group." Well, Jack O'Lantern, it may have taken me 18 years to manifest you, but really only an augenblink because you were a part of my consciousness all those years, yes, beckoning like a Castaneda experiment, playing with my awareness to readiness, ripeness. Then you catapulted your Sarfatti Spark into the lap of my heart and became my quantum buddy. How good it is.

Thats also how it happened between me and Angela at Herb Caens wake at Mooses Bar on Washington Square in San Franciscos North Beach in the Fall of 1997 in fulfillment of Carlo Suaress Michelangelo Code prophecy in Paris Christmass 1973.

Man on a Pendulum by Colin Bennett

I wish young Jack Sarfatti had been present when In order to illustrate the motion of a pendulum, a science teacher once asked my school class to imagine a man sitting on a swing and being given some initial push. Upon asking the name of the man on the swing and also the name of the person who gave the first push, I created uproar in class equal to poor Oliver Twist asking for more porridge. The hapless teacher, after having quelled the melee, said that neither person had a name, whereupon I asked if the two people involved were political prisoners. The resulting laughter earned me a day in detention accompanied by a stern Thou Shalt Not warning by the headmaster himself (indeed) about the dangers of trying to "personalise pure abstractions." It might come as a surprise to some that yes indeed, teachers of those pre-Fall days (I was but 10 years of age), used such language to youngsters as distinct from giving politically-correct talks about alternative sexuality, diets, cooking tips, or the politics of dance. Of course I was later to find that science seen as a culture amongst cultures had more Thou Shalt Nots per unit-concept than a jack- rabbit had second cousins. This experience was a good warning introduction to science. Many years later, whilst writing my biography of Charles Fort Politics of the Imagination, I learned only too well that intellectual conformity and paranoid cultural fear appeared to be the scientific order of the day. Certainly scientists cloaked large-scale anomalies (such as the UFO phenomenon) just as Victorian piano legs were draped lest they should inspire outrageous erotic dreams beyond all compass. My science teacher was the modern equivalent of Dickens Mr Gradgrind of the novel Hard Times. Many years later I was to meet a considerable number of scientists in the course of my work, and I found that things had not improved much from the days of Gragrind or my school experience. Symbols of post-industrial despair, such human Rubik cubes weighed and measured and calculated like gone-mad grocers. Despite Chernobyl or Three Mile Island, they poured out facts and figures most of which were untrue, ill conceived, rigged, or were sets of facts derived from mass deceptions such as Y2K or Global Warming. Due to this depressing influence I left science forever until I met up with Dr. Jack Sarfatti Ph.D and read his books. It is indeed a miracle that Sarfatti is still alive and well after a 20th century cultural maelstrom that instituted a holocaust as regards all heretical scientific opinions. Like most of the Amazon rain-forest, statistically speaking, Jack Sarfatti should now be buried alive under ten feet of that solid corporate car park called Official Science. As a scientific Bigfoot impossibility Sarfatti actually speaks, he has a face, a name, an opinion and a unique vision. Parts of Destiny Matrix read like a scientific version of Rousseaus Confessions. The travels, the meetings with significant people, the tempestuous affairs, the broken relationships - and indeed his singing career - come from the inspirations of the major underground avant garde movements and institutions of both Europe and America. It has to be pointed out here that Jack Sarfatti is not the perfect example of good liberal politically-correct views. He is always being asked to explain, to be rational and reasonable like more conventional folk. He looks down upon humble engineers and mechanists as if they were

23

ragged and impoverished supplicants at his very own Court of Camelot. These rather grand aristocratic gestures are somewhat excusable because after all, he IS an aristocrat, being the descendant of Rashi de Troyes. Of course, such behaviour from a scientific visionary had resulted in him accumulating enemies by the tumbrel load. The trouble is that Jack Sarfatti is a star. This makes things far worse. He has stardust all over him. He was born of Star Trek, in which he had a part. All stars have something of the magic of fantastic impossibilities in them. By contrast to the scientific drones, as an authentic 21st century Wizard, Sarfatti represents the Star Trek hopes and fears of all the technological years in a much more genuine sense. He is possessed also of numerous other damning qualities. For infernal cheek, he has the nerve to add more than a touch of mystico-Illuminati to some of his scientific speculations. Of late, even a whiff of that was enough to send the clocks and measuring rods of the nation who gave us Alice in Wonderland into a veritable nanny-tizzy. Representatives of the nation who gave us that other Wonderland rabbit-hole called the Military-Industrial Complex were equally as baffled. Being disinvited from your own conference is a lifestyle achievement few could equal. Recently, Brian Josephson (a Nobel Prize Winner to boot), physicist David Peat and our Jack were barred from attending a conference on David Bohms ideas on quantum theory. Sarfatti himself had proposed such a conference and offered funds to support it. These three scientists were barred because of their interest in that great scientific bte noire called the paranormal. It was all enough to disturb the horses in the street! The disinvite to the Bohm conference was a watershed not only for the participants but for physics as a whole. I myself was a non-scientific participant in that I contributed to the comments section of an article in the UK Times Higher Education Supplement, which discussed the disinvitation. After three days my comments were taken down from the Supplement, although all others were retained. I asked the Editor for an explanation and he did not have the manners to reply. This made me the only member of what must be one of the worlds most exclusive clubs. All this might sound like great liberal fun, were it not at such times we have surely a glimpse of the theme from Polanskis film Rosemarys Baby, or Jack Starretts film Race with the Devil. In these works, every innocent social-democratic perspective becomes suddenly alive with menacing conspiracies beyond the sun and moon. Few scientists are of any kind of personal interest. Most have no more a name than does a particular herring from a particular net. By contrast, Sarfatti glitters and sparkles as if he is still on the bridge of the Starship Enterprise. By comparison, almost all scientists at some time or other are sentenced to work within some terrifying department of the Military-Industrial Complex, the perfect equivalent to Kafka's novel The Castle. Grinding away in such modern versions of Blake's "Satanic Mills," almost all are finally rendered quite faceless, anonymous and often quite speechless.

24

In this respect, just like my science teacher again, Big Science (as General Groves of Los Alamos called it) has always had a love-hate relationship with concepts involving such "non objective" things as character, identity and personality. To most Stalinists and Victorian Station Masters, these things represent such wondrous modern fables as "noise in the system" in that they are full of very non-Cartesian animals such as images, symbols and metaphors. Such are now propagated by that other complex now called Big Media. Most scientists have not met such a messy and rather indeterminate thing as Media yet, big or small. Most think still that TV alone is a thing to keep the kids quiet upstairs: apparently the absorption of billions of powerful images per second plays no part in modern scientific ideas of causation, which is still conceived as being essentially made up of objective mechanisms in nature and function. Apparently to be real, one thing has to bang against another thing. In this respect, no scientist on Earth has yet noticed that the CERN Collider is producing as many images, symbols and metaphors as it is producing facts, both of which operate within a framework of cultural deception of one sort or another. In putting foreword a "no thrust" theory of UFO propulsion alone, Sarfatti is way ahead of the postmodern gaming syndrome. He is indeed back from the future. In contrast, Stalinist mechanists still have their fingers stained with chemicals and theories of "actuality," another word for the constellated "real," which is the very best commercial break in our Entertainment State. The Book When we examine the verbal surface of Destiny Matrix we find that Jack is creatively hyperactive. He winds the universe up and lets it spin into infinity. One sentence alone can bring alive whole galaxies of names threading though conspiracies, science and mysteries going back through decades. Here surely is his idea of back from the future. It appears that he does not forget a single thing. Each wound and sneer, each bit of praise or criticism is real and alive within him as if he were still acting out some particular slice of time and life a full half-century after it occurred. Perhaps this total inability to forget any single instant of his life drives his sense of time passing and gives him his ideas on retrocausality in the sense that mentally he is always going to and fro, not by the hour or the day, but by the decade. Every minute of the deep past is still living and developing within his mind. Moreover, in what would be a nightmare to most non-cerebral folk, every single minute of every single experience is scanned as if looking for some vital existential connection within the quantum hologram he proposes as a cosmological model. As Destiny Matrix shows, he is inside and out of his model such that each past meeting, each incident is a story-cluster rather like a meme. Each rise and fall of destiny and achievement is a tremor in the spiders web of the retrocausal hologram. Moreover, the interpretations of each meme permit retrocausal extensions of themselves rather like the opening of a fractal. He has entered the system and the system is talking to him. This is a quantum life. The Microcosm has become the Macrocosm. This is a singular and unique vision of a new kind of stream of consciousness. This is the Matrix visualised before The Matrix was filmed or talked about.

25

We can only imagine Sarfattis problems as he disturbs the Thou Shalt Nots who live in the cooing dovecotes and whited sepulchres of professional science. His great sin appears to be that whilst he is perfectly capable of describing his cosmology mathematically, he insists that he lives within the equations, fleshing them out to become living parameters. Most scientists dont see themselves as living within the flesh and blood of their proposed models, even if those models become generally accepted, such as Relativity or quantum theory. Like all good books Destiny Matrix makes us think about the unthinkable. The book is a brilliant collection of many unanswered questions in both science and scientific philosophy. Deconstructed science, in the sense that it has to use language sooner or later, reveals many dialectical defences and wilful self-deceptions. These are part of the management of psychosocial frameworks of perception. For example, scientists speak universally of cosmic events in the present tense, when according to Relativity, we are seeing the deep past within what the philosopher A.N. Whitehead called an ever-widening penumbra of uncertainty. This aspect of what Big Media calls real time makes Sarfattis concept of action at a distance appear positively endearing. We might ask what the concept of distance means here within such a non-Cartesian dialectical warp as described by Sarfatti. Since all cultures are advertising systems of one sort or another, we might have to consider mass existential deception within a warp continuum. This idea is the central core of the Matrix with the heart of the Big Media complex in which we now live. We have to consider such things if only because Sarfattis inspirations are somewhat multimedia. As an accomplished singer in musical theatre, we can now add Entertainment to that unholy triad called the Military-Industrial-Complex. No matter what, for Jack Sarfatti all trails lead back from the future to Star Trek and what happened to him in a Brooklyn flat in 1952 when he picked up a ringing phone and what he later assumed was an outer-space VALIS computer spoke to him. This was the very beginning of his Star Trek quest two decades before Star Trek was conceived. Back from the future again! He was to become a thorough-going postmodern icon with TV programmes and equations pouring out of his head at the same time, both mixed with thoughts worthy of Rabelais and Cervantes as well as P.K. Dick. Both Warhol and McLuhan would have been proud of him as a complete postmodern icon. He is more than a futurist. He drives his liminal engine through the dimensions of holographic retrocausality. I cant imagine anything more Star Trek than that. That Sarfatti has never suffered from what Norman Mailer once described as Americas massive failure of nerve is a sufficient compliment to the Star Trek wizard. Representing one of the last toys of scientific innocence, Star Trek still sparkles amongst our rapidly diminishing collection of things of worth. The wizard Sarfatti is Fourniers Le Grand Meaulnes trying to find the enchanted house in the forest he once glimpsed in his early youth. Each time shift forward or

26

back becomes a pilgrimage to the site of his Star Trek lair. This is the fountain of his youth, the map of his impossible endeavours, and it contains still the magical codes of his thought and creation. When fact has failed us, the archetypal TV shows will always be there. Already they have replaced History and Religion. Whatever else they will replace eventually remains to be seen. In the meantime Jack Sarfatti, may the gods bless thee and thy holy book, oh magician of our time!

Chapter 4 Tilting at Windmills; Jack Sarfatti's Impossible Dream by Jagdish Mann

Jack Sarfatti and I met in the summer of 1970 when he was teaching physics at San Diego State University and I was a student. We have been friends ever since. Temperamentally, we are as different as two men can be. He is an iconoclast, intense, full of nervous energy, impulsive, impatient. I, on the other hand, am a traditionalist, easy going, almost fatalistic, languid and patient to the point of laziness. Yet the mysterious and inexplicable force of friendship has favored us for the past forty years. It has not only endured but but thrived on our differences. So, although I am not a physicist, I feel qualified to offer an introduction to this man. How does one judge another? The Good Book simply advises us not to do it. This is good advice, especially when the subject is Jack Sarfatti, a mercurial, contradictory and passionate about expressing his world view. A judgment is static by its nature, a thing frozen in the moment. Jack is too dynamic, too much a moving target to lend himself to any comfortable categories. As a person, I know Jack better than most. My friendship for him speaks for itself. His ideas, however, belong to stories of science and he is seamless from his thoughts. To separate Sarfatti from his ideas is beyond my capabilities. All through his theories and speculations, he keeps popping up like an impish Jack-Out-Of-The-Box. It is not so much that he wants to be judged, he wants to be measured, scrutinized, and either proved right or wrong. It is a brave stance. It must be admitted that I speak with the bias of a friend. What may be to me 'perseverance' may be merely 'pig-headed stubbornness' to someone else; what I may look at as 'large dreams' may be called 'megalomania' by others; one man's visionary is often another man's fool. Only Jack Sarfatti's peers in physics, and of course time, the final judge of all things, including his peers, will tell if his theory is correct. I can attest to his single-minded dedication to his subject and to the sincerity with which he believes in himself. I am in a unique place to say this. He is writ large both in his faults and his virtues. But even during the worst times of his personal life, he has never abandoned physics. Is not dedication the first necessity of genius? Without it, genius is sterile. Jack cannot be accused of that. His ideas and speculations float in the cyberspace like pollen in the wind. The mosaic Jack Sarfatii puts together combine world history with events of his own life and the life of his ancestors. At the minimum, the story is a fantastic and a rich vision of reality; and I believe that a visionary, even if he is proven wrong in the long run, still transcends the mundane. It has a liberating influence not only on the visionary, but also on all those who witness it. How dull the world is without visions and visionaries. The questioning mind is the hard-earned heritage of humanity. Who am I? Where am I? Where did I come from? What is it all about Alfie? I do not know if there are definitive answers to these questions. But ask we must. This is what makes us human. Our curiosity is our curse as well as our reward, the price and the prize of self-awareness. Will we get all the answers or not,

28

I cannot say, however, one thing is clear: just by asking the questions, we are reaching out to the stars, illuminating our minds with understanding and shedding our superstitions. The impulse to search for the meaning of the universe is intimately entwined with the search for the meaning of personal existence; and I suspect the answer, if any, may be one and the same or, at the least connected. If Jack Sarfatti puts himself center stage and co-mingles the significance of his own existence with that of the universe, it is not necessarily a reason to reject his view. It is an old and respectable tradition.1 The venerable Upanishads unabashedly equate the self with Brahma- the seed and the flowering of all existence. They make no distinction between the individual consciousness and the collective consciousness other than that of personal attitude. Though the questions remain the same, much has changed since the times of the Upanishads. The sages of the Upanishads relied on poetry and parable to communicate their insights and carried no burden of proof. We moderns, however, insist on the rigorous scientific method communicated by the unambiguously neutral language of mathematics and supported and confirmed by repeatable experiments. This has paid off-at least as far as the understanding of material world is concerned. I will not say that science has become our religion. It has not. In all honesty, neither has it tried to. Religion is expected to speculate on the hereafter. Indeed all religions offer explanations of death and create scenarios of what happens after the Big Event. It can be reincarnation; it can be resurrection; it can even be an everlasting limbo of the Ancient Egyptians, a sort of a capitalist's heaven: comfortable if you are Pharaoh, ignoble if you are fellahin. Science, other than its relentless and essentially unsuccessful effort to meaningfully prolong life, has assiduously stayed out of this debate. "Death is not an event in this life", said Wittgenstein, a true genius child of the scientific mind-set. Scientists, as much as they may suffer the existential anxiety shared by all mortal men, have, as scientists, restricted themselves to study only this life and have kept clear of the hereafter. They have also stayed detached from any search for possible meaning of our fleeting existence. There is a fly in the Bell Jar of this ointment of detachment, however, and that is the phenomenon of consciousness. All questions about the material world eventually hark back to the self. Who is asking? Physics has answered many questions about our physical world, so many in fact that we can blow up our planet many times over, and may yet do it from sheer cussedness. This is flirting with nothingness and as Nietzsche said, "When you look into the abyss, the abyss looks back at you". It is not just the fear of self-annihilation alone, however, that is leading the scientists to study consciousness. The very success of objective science is forcing it to face the subjective. For example, in the epistemology of quantum mechanics, one of science's most successful systems, the observer plays a central role. It is not so surprising then that an increasing number of physicists want to know what makes us tick. The need to understand the watcher himself, the one who is asking the questions is becoming essential even to scientific inquiry. Will the scientific method be as successful in solving the mystery of consciousness as it had been in explaining the material world? The task, it must be remembered, is of a different magnitude when the subject is consciousness. Jack Sarfatti is one of these researchers. He has devoted more than 40 years to the study of consciousness and offers an eloquent model to his fellow physicists. Not surprisingly, it is

29

controversial. But boldness, even a little recklessness is called for. This territory is not only uncharted but almost forbidden to the scientists. It is a place where formidable paradoxes loom like dragons. The best of philosophers have lost themselves in the quagmire of arguments about consciousness. Religion is the only foolhardy force that wanders freely into this sticky thicket and has, as a result, conjured as many wondrous scenarios as the human mind can bear. Science, the most powerful fruit of the human imagination has been simply mute on the subject, and this includes quantum mechanics. "From the point of view of quantum mechanics, the faculty of self awareness is completely unexplained," lamented the late Prof. Eugene Wigner. (Eugene Paul Wigner was the first among the dons of physics to speak publicly and publish on the subject of consciousness and the role that physics may play in it. I came across this minutia when during a conversation, Jack Sarfatti, with an uncharacteristic modesty, refused to take the credit of being the first to do so. ("It was Eugene Wigner!" He was already talking and writing about it when I first became interested in the phenomenon. "You should read him." He told me with some passion and uncharacteristic modesty.) I am not a physicist. Therefore, I cannot defend the technical aspects of his theory, but I can cheer him on for its eloquence. His cosmology, as he translates it into layman's language, has a great appeal to me. His concept of 'back-action' feels as solid as Newton's Third Law and still has a reach towards the unknown. The reoccurring symmetry it implies, a sort of ethical invariant that permeates all levels of reality is pretty as a poem. Sarfatti, of course, offers more than mere poetry. He offers a coherent and compelling model of consciousness. When he speaks of it in plain English, as he must to non-physicists like me- his model has an inner consistency and eloquence. Plain English spoken with clarity is nothing to scoff at. Language is, after all, the mother of mathematics. There is another reason I find his cosmology congenial. Sarfatti, despite his cantankerous persona, is a reconciler. He sees similarities in disparities and seeks patterns in randomness.

Chapter 5 Physics Today: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
Man-made Global Warming?
US physics professor: 'Global warming is the greatest and most successful pseudoscientific fraud I have seen in my long life'xiii Hal Lewis wrote to the then head of the American Physical Society: Dear Curt: When I first joined the American Physical Society sixty-seven years ago it was much smaller, much gentler, and as yet uncorrupted by the money flood (a threat against which Dwight Eisenhower warned a half-century ago). How different it is now. The giants no longer walk the earth, and the money flood has become the raison dtre of much physics research, the vital sustenance of much more, and it provides the support for untold numbers of professional jobs. For reasons that will soon become clear my former pride at being an APS Fellow all these years has been turned into shame, and I am forced, with no pleasure at all, to offer you my resignation from the Society. It is of course, the global warming scam, with the (literally) trillions of dollars driving it, that has corrupted so many scientists, and has carried APS before it like a rogue wave. It is the greatest and most successful pseudoscientific fraud I have seen in my long life as a physicist. This scheming at APS HQ is so bizarre that there cannot be a simple explanation for it. Some have held that the physicists of today are not as smart as they used to be, but I dont think that is an issue. I think it is the money, exactly what Eisenhower warned about a half-century ago. There are indeed trillions of dollars involved, to say nothing of the fame and glory (and frequent trips to exotic islands) that go with being a member of the club. Your own Physics Department (of which you are chairman) would lose millions a year if the global warming bubble burst. When Penn State absolved Mike Mann of wrongdoing, and the University of East Anglia did the same for Phil Jones, they cannot have been unaware of the financial penalty for doing otherwise. As the old saying goes, you dont have to be a weatherman to know which way the wind is blowing. Since I am no philosopher, Im not going to explore at just which point enlightened selfinterest crosses the line into corruption, but a careful reading of the ClimateGate releases makes it clear that this is not an academic question. Harold Lewis is Emeritus Professor of Physics, University of California, Santa Barbara, former Chairman; Former member Defense Science Board, chmn of Technology panel; Chairman DSB study on Nuclear Winter; Former member Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards; Former member, Presidents Nuclear Safety Oversight Committee; Chairman APS study on Nuclear Reactor Safety Chairman Risk Assessment Review Group; Co-founder and former Chairman of JASON; Former member USAF Scientific Advisory Board; Served in US Navy in WW II; books: Technological Risk (about, surprise, technological risk) and Why Flip a Coin (about decision making) excerpted from James Delingpoles Daily Telegraph (London) article of October 9, 2010. The APS did respond.xiv

31

What we have here is a bait and switch. No one is saying that the greenhouse effect itself is a scam. This passage seeks to transfer the scam charge from its real target to the trivial. The fraud/scam is to be found in the continual drumbeat that the science is settled; that the effects will be catastrophic; that it requires draconian economic sacrifices to avoid; and that mandates and subsidies for rent-seeking corporations are justified. APS should be very reluctant to draw public attention to this Statement, with its infamous phrase, The evidence is incontrovertible, despite the fact that nothing in science is ever incontrovertible. Hal Lewis In light of the significant settled aspects of the science, APS totally rejects Dr. Lewis claim that global warming is a scam and a pseudoscientific fraud. On the matter of global climate change, APS notes that virtually all reputable scientists agree with the following observations: Carbon dioxide is increasing in the atmosphere due to human activity; Carbon dioxide is an excellent infrared absorber, and therefore, its increasing presence in the atmosphere contributes to global warming - APS This passes over the fact that carbon dioxide absorption lines are nearly saturated. Hal Lewis Every new molecule of CO2 causes smaller greenhouse effect than the previous molecule: the absorption rate gradually approaches saturation. Such a conclusion could diminish the holy power of the enhanced greenhouse effect and undermine the global efforts of scientists of good faith - and their friends, politicians of good faith, lawyers of good faith, singers of good faith, and publishers of good faith - to globally regulate the greenhouse effect. Lubos Motlxv The details of global warming physics are beyond the scope of this book and my interests and are by no means simple and obvious, which is why Ph.D. scientists in the field disagree apart from the alleged financial motives further discussed in the next chapter by Alan Waite. The books The Trouble With Physics by Lee Smolin, Not Even Wrong by Peter Woit and Against The Tide by Carlos Castro Perelman et-al address related issues on the growing uncivility in mainstream physics reflecting modern politics and the decline and fall of Western Civilization weakened by political correctness with the growing power of Islamic Seventh Century Fundamentalism. Talk show host Michael Savage, banned in Britain for thought crimes, has aptly described this in his book Liberalism as a Mental Disorder a disorder similar to Neville Chamberlains appeasement of Adolph Hitler. As this book goes to press more assaults on American freedom come from TSA because of political correctness against profiling the majority must suffer.

Nobel Physics Laureate Brian Josephsons How To Run A Conference

Certain invitees to a workshop on the Foundations of Physics received from the organisers letters withdrawing their invitations. The letter to Brian Josephson asserted: It has come to my attention that one of your principal research interests is the paranormal ... in my view, it would not be appropriate for someone with such research interests to attend a scientific conference. while a similar letter to David Peat asserted: It has come to my attention that you are the author of books on Jungian synchronicity and quantum physics, and on connections between Native American Indian thought and modern physics ... in my view, it is not appropriate for an author of such books to attend a scientific conference. These letters illustrate well the defensive, paranoid attitudes of members of the scientific community such as those who pressed for this action to be taken; for such people, science equates to 'closed minded enquiry', in the light of which their action is in no way surprising. April 26, 2010: A communication has now been sent by the organisers explaining the background to the letters, which seems to have had a strong political element though this was not asserted directly. It was suggested (and there is no doubt much truth in this) that those in control are so prejudiced against the paranormal that belief in the reality of telepathy, etc. can disqualify one for consideration for a job. It was, fundamentally, to protect young researchers looking for jobs that the disinvitation letters were sent. Orwell, in his book 1984, imagined a similar situation, in a totalitarian society where one could be charged (ref. Wikipedia) with thoughtcrime: In the book, the government attempts to control not only the speech and actions, but also the thoughts of its subjects, labelling disapproved thought as thoughtcrime. Thoughtcrime is alive and well in the scientific community today, as the politics that underlies this affair clearly demonstrates. A discussion of the disinvitation issue, including a public statement by Valentini asserting that his letters to David Peat and myself should not have been made public, and responses to this by various people, can be seen here. A brief response to Valentini's statement, which he has posted in many places, is appropriate here: It was unwise to send an email indicating an opinion, viz. that I and others should not be present at scientific conferences on account of our views, that has been widely condemned. The background to these emails is a matter of considerable public concern, as shown by the media interest in this affair. Under such circumstances, one should not complain that one's views have been made public. Valentini's institutional address is in the public domain: an internet search brings up immediately the Imperial College directory giving both his institutional address and his email address. There are no reasonable grounds for complaint that the former information was originally included on this web page. The statement "certain alleged 'invitees' were in fact never formally invited" is disingenuous given that some time before the disinvitation letters arrived we had all been asked by the organisers for details such as how long a talk we wished to give. The unidentified individuals who 'came in the

33

night', intent on keeping this meeting kosher, remain in the shadows.

Jack Sarfatti and the Shadows on the Wall by Alan Waite

xvi

In April of the year 2010, three internationally known theoretical physicists Nobel Laureate Brian Josephson, Jack Sarfatti and David Peat were excluded from a major international physics conference that Sarfatti initiated (the de Broglie-Bohm, Bohm, or Towler Institute conference in Tuscany) because of their interests in areas considered outside mainstream quantum physics thought. Recently, Sarfatti agreed to an interview with the PRAXIS Society for Human Integrity and spoke about the subject of integrity and the climate of exclusivity and GroupThink that has developed within the international physics community.

GroupThink and the Myth of the Cave In his Republic, Platos former tutor Socrates posits a situation where prisoners are chained in a cave all of their lives, facing a blank wall, unable to see left or right, merely straight ahead. The captives see only shadows projected on the wall, images of people and things passing by the mouth of the cave, in front of a fire. Over time, those chained in the cave believe the shadows to be the sources of the images they see. For them, the shadows are reality. Eventually, a prisoner frees himself, grasps the actual situation, experiences an epiphany, and returns to the cave to enlighten the captives. Happy ending? Not quite. Socrates asks, Would it not be said of him that he went up and came back with his eyes corrupted, and that if the chained were somehow able to get their hands on the man who attempts to release and lead them out, wouldn't they kill him instead?" Plato was the first western thinker to illustrate the consequences of GroupThink.

Science and the Cost of Discipleship World renowned Dr. Jack Sarfattis lament regarding the curtain of GroupThink slowly falling on the stage of theoretical physics should chill us to the toes: So, that kind of idea (singular nonlocality) is considered so dangerous, disturbing the status quo so much that anybody who talks about that idea has to be demonized like Ive been, like Josephson has been...you know what its like? Its like the Soviet Stalinist purge trials... Theorists who simply theorize are dangerous? Demonized? The intellectual equivalent of Stalinist purge trials in todays Science? Say it aint so, Jack. There are few shibboleths more sacred to the average fellow than the purity and integrity of Science, especially theoretical science. To we laypersons, scientists wear white coats of purity,

34

dream in Latin, and adhere to a timeworn code of inquiry that seeks, above all else, Truth (capital T, naturally), wherever the search for it leads, whatever that Truth may be. To our good fortune, many scientists are true disciples of that basic creed. For decades, however, there has been an increasing cost for their discipleship. The cats-paw is out of the bag. The rest of the cat may soon follow: too many of those who wear the white coats of purity, dream in Latin, and mime the timeworn creed are caving to fear, comfort, and the one unpardonable sin of the scientist conformity (spelled G-R-O-U-P-T-H-I-N-K). Malcolm Muggeridge observed, All activity, especially chaos, trends ineffably towards conformity, to which Woody Allen opined, Conformity is the vilest form of corruption. Take it from an unrepentant conformist, vile eventually grows on you. corrupt Latin: co-rump ere. To break, to rupture. lit. Coming together to rupture wholeness. Would it not be said of him that he went up and that he came back with his eyes corrupted? Would it not be said of those today who challenge this growing gleichshaltung in Science? The signs are unmistakable. In recent years, the international debate over global warming has raised profound and disturbing questions regarding the level of integrity within that portion of the scientific community which advocates anthro-centric global warming. Recent revelations resulting from Britains East Anglia University, namely that an anointed few amidst the walls of its Hadley Climatic Research Institute (HCRI) suppressed several studies that contradict global warming models, gave voice to concerns that have been mounting for decades in many quarters of the scientific community that a chilling political correctness is descending on academia and the scientific world threatening the integrity of both current and future scientific inquiries. Colorado State University atmospheric expert, Dr. Justin Hnilo, one of many scientists whose papers were placed in cold storage at HCRI recently told PRAXIS that there is indeed a climate of fear across the scientific community, as organizations and individuals of great wealth have gained so much influence over the last several decades that an overriding political correctness now exists punishing dissenters and rewarding those who march in lockstep. Hnilo asserts that there is a clash between researchers, whose studies and hard data show climate trends that differ from prevailing global warming theories, and global warming advocates who rely primarily on future trend computer modeling. In the world of global warming, he warns, the search for truth has taken a back seat to international and national political agendas, media adoration, influential moneyed circles, and the fear of losing grants, chairs, and even jobs. With trillions of dollars at stake, there are ins and there are outs; the favored and the pariahs. If true, it is, essentially, the theatre of Science Selling its Soul. The implications of this storefront Science are nothing short of staggering. Growing societal doubt and skepticism

35

resulting from the abandonment of the classic scientific dialectic (that over centuries replaced Faith with Reason on the highest pedestal of truth-seeking), now asks how public trust can be restored. Of course, while reality is generally more complicated, a comprehensive understanding of this scientific civil war, as Eric Pooley sets forth in The Climate Wars, and Oreskes and Conway show in Merchants of Doubt, confirms Hnilos perspective that one risks reputation, position, and even personal economy to dispute the party line on global warming, whether ones data is accurate or not. While the noise and clamor (and sexiness) of the wars within the science of climatology draw the worlds attention, for many, this breach of trust raises the logical question: is there a similar phenomena unfolding elsewhere in the sciences? Few are unaware of the decades-long struggle inside the fields of anthropology and biology over the question of human evolution. The preponderant thinking within those disciplines continues to advocate Darwinian evolution, though much of Darwins original thinking has been eliminated or modified over the last forty years. Nevertheless, there is a counter-evolutionary thesis with a growing number of highly credentialed scientists from nearly every discipline within the natural and physical sciences that posits an alternative theory known as Intelligent Design (ID). Having studied both evolutionary theory and ID, and having examined the credentials of those who advocate both theories, witnessed university debates and questioned participants, it seems that rational and cogent arguments reside in both camps. While ID has significant flaws, it makes singular and thought-provoking points, and even appears to refute some precepts of Darwinism. At a minimum, it deserves a fair hearing, and those who advance that theory deserve respect. Yet, just as the deniers, whose thinking risks marginalization and career advancement, Intelligent Design adherents are labeled dangerous, nut jobs, religious fanatics, and fringers. In an atmosphere as emotionally charged as the global warming battlefields, some IDers have suffered far beyond social and professional ostracism, having to accept demotions, grant losses, inability to find work in their fields, and even, in a few cases, dismissal. Dr. Jack Sarfattis blackballing by members of his profession reflects a similar drama unfolding within the international physics community. Sarfatti, a renown charismatic and iconoclastic theoretical physicist whose decades long explorations of energy, matter, and consciousness gained for some of his theories the sobriquet controversial, was recently handed the left foot of fellowship by members of the establishment within his disciplinehe was unceremoniously excluded from an international conference on an area that is not only well within his subject matter expertise but a conference that he conceived of and initiated.

36

Sarfatti, labeled unconventional and marginalized for both his willingness to explore fringe areas of science and his close associations with controversial figures such as noted psycho kinesis practitioner Uri Geller, maintains an unshaken lifelong belief in classic scientific methodology following fact patterns no matter where they lead. Now, the cost for that belief is being exacted.

Sarfatti and The Cave

Preparing to meet Jack Sarfatti is like preparing for a safari not knowing what to expect and wary of the experience, but excited about the adventure. Painted by some self-described mainstream writers as a man of the fringe, a nut job, a CIA tool and other even less flattering terms, one expects to meet an eccentric Obama-Birther type who talks of alien abductions, whites and grays quietly invading our planet, and the impending Mayan calendar doomsday prophecy. The fact that these caricatures do not square with his education, writings, and accomplishments should have been the first red flag that shadows might be dancing on the walls of mainstream physicists. As it happened, the first impression of Jack Sarfatti was of a gracious, down-to-earth, brilliant man. After a lengthy formal interview and several hours of let your hair down conversations, the first impression was confirmed, although it merely scratched the surface of this compelling, complicated man. The story is told that Robert Zemeckis's hit film series Back to the Futures lovable and eccentric mad scientist character, Doc Emmett Brown (played by Christopher Lloyd) was patterned after Jack Sarfatti, not coincidentally, because of Sarfattis theories on the possibilities of time travel and his 1975 book Space-Time and Beyond (with Fred Alan Wolf and Bob Toben) that Ellie Coppola publicized at the time. No doubt about it, director Robert Zemeckis took artistic liberty with the mad aspect of the character, but the humanity and brilliance of Doc Brown fits Sarfatti to a T. On the other hand, Doc Browns easy collegiality and acceptance of others with no hint of superiority also fits Sarfatti. No hint of superiority, that is, unless the topic turns to pedestrian colleagues who lack daring and imagination, lack curiosity, or lack of intestinal fortitude. Sarfatti does not suffer fools, and pretenders and the pretentious receive no quarter in the same way a combat veteran handles a cherry. If you want a quantum physics peer discussion with Jack Sarfatti, you damn well better know your stuff. For a so-called nut job, Sarfatti is warm, charming, and unprepossessing. There is no pretention in his manner, and it is clear that he loves life, its complications, and its challenges. Possibility is as exciting for him as knowledge, and the process of discovery seems as important as discovery itself. Foolish peers aside, Sarfatti reflects a humility that is scarce at the highest levels of Science, rarer still among those whose accomplishments rival his.

37

Candid and willing to share his knowledge or whatever experiences hes had, Sarfatti is very clear about what he knows, when he is conjecturing, and what he does not know. As he talks, there is a unstated understanding that the listener finds his adventure of discovery as unusual and fascinating as he finds it, which puts one at ease and is, in fact, a very high compliment. When discussing his unusual life experiences, Sarfattis perspective is that of a fascinated third party observer who is intrigued and amazed at all thats transpiredhe transmits a boyish enthusiasm that is contagious, and his stories are told with humor and a touch of irony. He has an uncanny knack of being able to distinguish between the real and the fake, the charlatan and the Real McCoy, the dishonest and the genuine. This is most likely because of his life-long training in problem-solving at the highest levels of his profession and his decades of involvement in advanced weapons systems theory, research and design; environments where guile-detection is an essential tool in the survival kit. Sarfattis academic standards are exceptionally high, evincing a classic liberal approach to methodological fidelity regardless of the subject or issues at hand. For Sarfatti, true science, that is to say science of the Platonic ideal type variety, means the primacy of the Idea, its free expression, and the unending dialectic that increases our perpetually incomplete understanding of matter, energy, time and the cosmos. His sense of integrity is such that means do not always justify ends, that means could be ends unto themselves, and that the journey of discovery can often be as or more important than the ends as long as the scientist is honest about his work. For Jack Sarfatti, there is no limit to the Idea and each idea requires hypothesizing, reasoning, questioning, observing, testing, modifying, then hypothesizing again. The 1960s countercultural revolution ingrained this dedication to human thought, limitless possibilities, and free inquiry in those who trod the halls of question authority academia, with the added benefit of taking little or nothing for granted. That belief system is reflected in Sarfattis persistent exploration of the paranormal, in spite of his mainstream critics. As with most of Maslows self-actualizers - those who have reached the highest level of human self-discovery - Sarfattis life reflects the characteristics of someone who has achieved balance and fully explored his potential. He has a rich, engaging personality and an enthusiasm for the complexities and ironies of living, especially the continuing pattern of Jungian synchronicity that has so characterized his life. He is at ease with people, and warmly receives those his intuitive instincts approve of and it is clear that he most values deeper, lifelong interpersonal relationships with a few trusted friends rather than a shallow retinue of glad-handers that most public figures require. This can only be because Sarfatti is extremely comfortable within his own skin, at peace within himself, and highly self-aware. One of his most disarming traits is evidenced in how Sarfatti appears to take little or nothing for granted, but expresses appreciation and delight at new ideas, discoveries, events, and potentials.

38

His is a world of wonder, a world that accepts the unusual and the possible, while never abandoning his training and discipline which demand sufficient and replicable proofs before declaring something to be true. In this particular turn of mind the unbounded pursuit of truth - Sarfatti classes with the most revered thinkers in science and philosophy. Maslow understood that self-actualizers struggle with life, and opined that most tend to be generous to a fault, while their reality-based self-awareness often reminds them of (or even plagues them over) the genuine gaffes theyve made in life. Sarfatti is candid about his losses and what he perceives as missteps, but evinces no traits of the perfectionism that typifies selfactualizers, probably because he sees the universe as following a pre-determined pathway, which means that whatever happens, win or loss, is part of the necessary drama of existence. On the other hand, self-actualizers tend to be very intolerant of ethical violations and lapses of integrity. It is clear from Sarfattis blog postings regarding the Bohm Conference controversy that the wounding he feels and expresses is as much because of the frustration he feels over the decline in academic integrity inside of his discipline as the naked affront to his own personal reputation. True to his belief that the future influences the past, Jack Sarfatti manages to combine anachronism and futurism. Sarfatti the Anachronistic is clearly a Renaissance man in a world of technocrats. He writes elegant poetry, is an accomplished musician and self-confessed lothario, and is part philosopher, part healer, and part mystic. Sarfatti the Futurist seeks to unravel the destiny of our universe by understanding how we can de-code cosmic signals from the future that are attempting to affect the now. Affectionately nicknamed Captain Jack by his friends, it is not a cliche to paraphrase Gene Roddenberry: Sarfatti boldly goes where few have gone before. But there is no real contradiction here: Sarfattis life reflects his near clairvoyant declaration that physics, not philosophy, is the unifying force between Science and Art, thus a true physicist treads the ridge between the two with the ease In sum, it is impossible to square the Jack Sarfatti portrayed by some writers as a whack job with the real Jack Sarfatti. If he is indeed as whacky as his critics contend, he is remarkably adept at concealing those characteristics. On the other hand, the establishment critics of Sarfatti may have overlooked one possibility as with global warming deniers and intelligent design lunatics, he just may be ahead of his time, one who broke the chains, and the critics are the ones who believe in the shadows on the wall. A look at Sarfattis career may offer clues as to which possibility is more likely.

39

Jack Sarfatti and the Breaking of Chains

Jack Sarfatti was born in Brooklyn, New York, two weeks after the outbreak of the Second World War. Raised in Brooklyn, Sarfatti took his B.A. from Cornell University in 1960, under the tutelage of Nobel Prize winner (in Physics), Dr. Hans Bethe. In 1967, Sarfatti earned an M.S. from the University of California at San Diego. He taught physics at San Diego State University as an assistant professor from 1967-71, taking his Ph.D. from the University of California in 1969. In 1971 and 1972, he worked as a research fellow with Einstein colleague Dr. David Bohm at the University of London. From 1973 through 1974, Sarfatti worked with 1979 Nobel Prize winning physicist Dr. Abdus Salam at the International Centre for Theoretical Physics in Trieste, Italy. By the early 1970s, Sarfattis interests had advanced into the realm of black hole theory, and by 1975, a myriad of unusual experiences (including the now famous CIA-sponsored Stanford Research Institute remote viewing experiments with Russell Targ and Hal Puthoff), led Sarfatti to explore theoretical connections between quantum physics and consciousness. His work in the areas of the post-quantum physics of consciousness and the paranormal gained him a great deal of notoriety, and as described earlier, not all of it positive. Not unexpected for a man whose life ceased to be normal very early on. One of approximately 400 pre-adolescent whiz kids selected nationally to participate in a classified U.S. government program during the late 1940s and early 1950s a Cold War effort to cultivate best and the brightest American youth to serve the nation in a variety of scientific and economic areas geared towards national defense, Sarfatti recalls that former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan was definitely and he surmised that physicist and paranormal researcher Harold Puthoff was probably among the governments fellow recruits. Organized paranormal studies were in their infancy, but quite prolific in the 1930s, 40s, and 50s, and not just in the United States. Captured Nazi archives revealed numerous secret scientific and pseudo-scientific programs of varying successes, ranging from rocketry and nuclear weaponry to occult/paranormal attempts at mind control. The Chinese and North Korean governments developed brainwashing programs in the early post war years which grew into full blown mind control experiments. KGB archives document the USSRs decades long interest in telepathy, psycho-kinesis, and mind control. The Cold War was a struggle for hearts and minds, but behind closed doors the emphasis was clearly on the minds. Recruiting young geniuses, educating them in the areas where they are most gifted, and calling on them in the future to lend their skills to various government efforts was a logical extension of early Cold War thinking. Compared to a plethora of darker, sinister and now infamous black projects conducted by the CIA and Defense Department from the McCarthy Era forward, it is also reasonable and healthy.

40

As rumors of communists brainwashing Korean POWs reached U.S. intelligence services in the early 1950s, fear grew over the potential for sleeper agent migrs who may be unknowing but lurking Manchurian Candidate saboteurs and assassins. CIA Director Allen Dulles authorized MKULTRA a brainwashing/counter intel program that conducted mind control experiments on persons (six unwittingly), at times using inhumane methods, including administering unrestricted amounts of LSD, sensory deprivation, torture, hypnosis, brain surgery, and electro-shock. Former Nazi scientists quietly expatriated to the United States in the aftermath of WWII (i.e., Project Paperclip) conducted many of these experiments, even on children. MKULTRA was one of a series of mind control programs conducted over time (MKSEARCH, MKOFTEN, DERBY HAT, THIRD CHANCE). Carol Rutzs groundbreaking expose of these dark programs, A Nation Betrayed, thoroughly documents how American intelligence services believed that the human mind, properly unlocked, offered unlimited potential for defending the United States against all future adversaries.

Arthur Jacobson, South Pacific WWII photo Sarfatti may have come to the attention of government canvassers because of his uncle Arthur Jacobson, who developed a singular reputation during his WWII combat infantry services in the

41

Pacific Theatre. Arthur showed a consistent intuitive ability to sense the locations of enemy snipers and emplacements, and apparently came to the attention of Army brass, who used him as human counter-sniper detecting GPS and a jungle warfare instructor. On the other hand, selecting Sarfatti may have had less to do with his uncles extra-sensory predisposition than the precocious eight and nine years old Sarfatti keeping constant company with his grandfather, who frequently associated with Army psychiatrists and officers of significant scientific backgrounds in late 1940s New York City. Sarfatti remembered, As my grandfather drove, I would sit in the back seat, with these colonelsI mean they were always analyzing. I was actually in the company of these Army officers a lot. Thats when I think I met this fun colonel named Phil Corso who later wrote, The Day After Roswell. Carl Jung would have been proud. However he was chosen, Sarfatti entered the U.S. governments World of the Unusual at a very early age. Young Sarfattis initiation into the world of government run clandestine research programs that focused on the mind and its potential could only predispose him to accepting the paranormal as a natural part of life, and a natural field of study. At about the same time, a lengthy experience with paranormal overtones invaded Sarfattis early adolescence. He began receiving a series of anonymous telephone calls that chroniclers of his life label the God-phone. As a thirteen year old, Sarfatti received the first of innumerable phone calls from an un-named metallic sounding voice that identified itself as a computer aboard a spacecraft. The voice sought to speak only with Sarfatti, never anyone else. While Sarfatti only recalls the first call clearly, and has vague recollections that there may have been subsequent calls, his mother recounted that the calls persisted for three weeks, and only stopped when she finally grabbed the phone out of exasperation over perceptible changes in Jacks personality and told the caller never to call again. Who was behind the calls? Sarfatti can only speculate, Well, I think that maybe its one of two things. Either it was what it says it was, or a government program, take your choice. I mean, given everything else, it sounds like its a government project. Theyre still playing psychological games on kids, quite possibly. So thats the most likely explanation. The thrust of the calls was, as Sarfatti remembers, to teach him things about electronics and basic physics, and let him know that there were others involved whom he would meet in twenty years1973. Co-incidentally, twenty years later, Sarfatti did in fact connect with several persons involved with the paranormal in one way or another, and not just the paranormal but covert government defense studies (Hal Puthoff and Russell Targ's CIA funded SRI Remote Viewing Project with Uri Geller et-al). Again, nothing new for someone surrounded by the Unusual throughout his life. By 1975, Sarfatti left academia and, at Werner Erhard's request and funding, founded the Physics Consciousness Research Group to study extra-sensory perception, time travel, consciousness, and life after death, among other paranormal subjects. Ira Einhorn soon connected him with

42

Michael Murphy who owned the Esalen Institute in Big Sur, California, a 120 acre ocean-side retreat that offers seminars and study programs in alternative mind/body healing, discovery, and growth, where Sarfatti ran the 1976 Physics Consciousness Seminar made famous in Gary Zukav's best-seller "The Dancing Wu Li Masters." For the past three decades, Sarfatti has continued work with cutting edge ideas in quantum physics. Sarfattis inquiry into the paranormal reflects his singular lifetime interaction with this uncharted aspect of existence. Because of this flow of the Unusual in and out of his life and career, Sarfattis ease and familiarity with the subject leads him to believe that there is nothing irrational or para normal about the paranormal. Rather, not to inquire into something that so clearly exists and is so woefully uncharted but tantalizingly rational violates the basic precept of science - follow the facts wherever they lead. Sarfattis published papers are not so numerous in the publish-or-perish race because he left academia 35 years ago. However, they cover topics that range from relativity theory to dark energy and dark matter, little black holes as elementary particles, emergent gravity, signal nonlocality and causality, and retro-causal (future-to-past) cosmology in which our accelerating universe is a hologram image with the actual hologram at our far-future Omega Sphere. Sarfatti pictures this "cosmological horizon" that creates dark energy as a conscious AI computer. In 2002, he published, Destiny Matrix suggesting that the universe has a retro-causal postselected destiny a destiny that is integrally tied to the present, reaching back in time and, combining with influences from the past, shaping the present, moving it towards the destined state of what will be. Indeed Yakir Aharonov has a destiny vector extension of quantum theorys history vector consistent with Sarfattis theory. Sarfattis website, www.stardrive.org, is reflection of his mind - a Socratic classroom where participants gather virtually to share, mull, ponder, argue, and speculate on any and all issues concerning human existence, the cosmos, and the paranormal. He prefers to give discussions free reign, and his intermittent comments evince a delight in grappling with fascinating topics and ideas, but he is the first to point out or publish any and all persuasive debunkings of preposterous claims, always careful to seek the truth, wherever it may take you. He is the cutting edge of time travel theory. When someone tries to grapple with dark energy, anti-gravity propulsion, or warp drive, they immediately find Sarfattis footprints. Freed from the constraints of academia, dependency on grants, and the need to continually justify his chair, he pursues his physics as if he were destined for that very purpose, as if the God-phone were still calling.

Valentini Towler Conference Controversy: Shadows on the Wall

David Bohm (1917-1992) was one of the giants in theoretical physics. A student of atom bomb father Robert Oppenheimer, and Princeton University colleague of Einstein, Bohm was a contributor to the Manhattan Project (though he was banned from working on the project for political reasons). Although forced to flee to England as a target of the McCarthy Era red scare witch hunts, Bohm made major contributions to the Science of Physics in the areas of quantum mechanics and the theory of relativity. Bohms ideas regarding conventional quantum theory and cosmology were well ahead of his time, and he effectively redefined physics (for many) to encompass a more holistic understanding of nature and existence. Bohm believed that the cosmos has meaning, is orderly and understandable, ineffably true, and must be understood from the perspective of the whole, which includes the effects of thought and intuition. This approach caused some in his discipline to reject Bohms cosmology as too mystical, some to label his theories as simply unscientific, and others to throw up their hands and say his thinking was incomprehensible. As it turned out, since his death in 1992, Bohms ideas have gained greater currency. Having worked closely with Bohm for a time and aware of the persecution Bohm experienced, one assumes that Sarfatti was influenced not only by Bohms progressive physics, but the integrity Bohm undauntedly demonstrated. By Summer 2009, Sarfatti believed the time had arrived for the international community of physicists to take another look at the Bohms pilot wave theory and its implications in light of recent advances in quantum theory. During a September 2009 stay at Trinity College, Cambridge University, he urged a young junior British colleague Michael Towler to organize a Bohm conference in 2010. Towler had raised the question in a series of lectures he delivered on Bohm six months earlier, but let the idea drop. After talking it over with Sarfatti, Towler agreed to move ahead. Soon a conference indeed was organized by both Towler and a second British physicist - Antony Valentinixvii - slated for late summer 2010 in the Apuan Alps Center for Physics in Tuscany, near the Italian city of Lucca. Sarfatti was listed in early conference communications e.g. Physics.org with Brian Josephson and David Peat as invited participants. Valentinis involvement made good sense. His own work had extended the de BroglieBohm theory to include signal nonlocality,xviii a concept that violates orthodox quantum theory but, according to Sarfatti, allows for interplay between consciousness and the physical world, i.e., mental telepathy, remote viewing, and other paranormal areas. Sarfattis previous independent idea of direct back reaction of matter on its guiding Bohm quantum potential was another way of looking at signal nonlocality. Indeed, Sarfattis concept was cited in Towlers original Cambridge lectures. Brian Josephson had also published a paper with Fotini Pallikari on how living organisms needed signal nonlocality.

44

Careful reading of the email traffic between Towler and Sarfatti, available on the web, shows that very early on Towler developed concerns about Sarfatti and Josephson attending, and he wrote Sarfatti that, so as not to scare the more traditional chaps, weve decided to lower the emphasis for official publicity purposes at least on the celebrity nut job end of things (consciousness and all that). Of course, in the actual meeting we can talk about what you want... Like any good storm warning, that missive heralded rough seas ahead for the Bohm Conference. In mid-April Antony Valentini, the physicist whose work on Bohm was itself on the edge of acceptable science, fired a shot heard round the internet. In a stunning and abrupt yanking of the Tuscan welcome mat, and with Towlers nod, he officially disinvited Sarfatti and Josephson (and a third physicist, Bohms actual biographer F. David Peat) from the Tuscan Conference. xix It was akin to Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig disinviting Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter from a nationwide players roundtable on the state of the New York Yankees. One can only surmise that Towler and Valentini failed to anticipate what would happen next. The online community familiar with Sarfatti and Josephson erupted as the news of their Bohm Conference quarantine spread. Reaction ranged from incredulity to outrage. While a few reacted vehemently and attacked Towler and Valentini with rage and ad hominum venom, most observers were vexed at the turn of events, and demanded an explanation. How could the person who started the ball rolling (Sarfatti) and a renowned Noble laureate (Josephson) whose outside the box approaches so resembled Bohms not attend a conference discussing Bohms theories? Journals picked up the story, blogs thundered, and talk radio hosts took notice. Pressure mounted for an explanation, and soon, an explanation for Sarfattis sanction was given. Towler asserted that Sarfattis was not sanctioned because Sarfatti simply was not invited in the first place, though when the original e-invite surfaced, it showed that Sarfatti was in fact personally invited by Towler. That explanation, of course, begged the question regarding Josephson and Peat were they also simply not invited? Cornered, Towler candidly explained that as the conference approached, he and Valentini received many communications from people - both conference participants and others complaining about the supposed 'pseudo-scientific' content of the conference, which, he felt, could destabilize the event.it became apparent that some action had to be taken." Interestingly, nothing in the conference announcement suggested that any discussion or presentation of paranormal subject matter would take place in Tuscany, but GroupThink generally operates from fear, and Towlers final explanation unmasked the real bottom line: GroupThink pressured the organizers to keep the kooks away lest they embarrass (and influence) the assemblage with their nut job ideas.

45

The online firestorm reached a peak in June. The exclusion of Nobel laureate Josephson ultimately forced organizers to rethink his sanction. To borrow a phrase, it became apparent that some action had to be taken to avoid destabilizing the event; action that preserved the dignity of the conferees but granted an olive branch to their critics. The solution? Grant absolution to Josephson and Peat, but stand firm on Sarfatti. After all, a blanket absolution simply would not do. Brian Josephson and F. David Peat were re-invited, but the controversy continued. It did not take a remote viewer to see that something other than the basic GroupThink was behind the raging Bohm Conference controversy. Josephson was determined to find out. He did. In July, Sarfatti blogged the results of Josephsons inquiries, He (Josephson) uncovered thatit (Valentinis disinviting Sarfatti, Josephson and Peat) was forced on both he and Towler by senior physicists coming to the meeting who have long been gunning for Josephson, and obviously me and Peat, for daring to pose questions about consciousness, the paranormal, cold fusion, homeopathy and UFOs - all considered crank and crackpot endeavors. There is also the issue of the national security military weapons consequences of signal nonlocality independently suggested by me and Brian Josephson and then, subsequently, taken up ironically by Antony Valentini. Valentini is in fear that his work will be considered crank and crackpot because of its association by me with consciousness and the paranormal. The motives of the bosses who forced Valentini to write the letters may also have military intelligence dimensions. The ironic thing is that Valentini(built) his own theory based on what Brian Josephson and I said years before! But for Valentini, it is a real intellectual betrayal on his part. Hes under so much pressure that he fears he will not rise in the academic establishment if he even emphasizes his own discoverybasically, that you can communicate not only faster-than-light, but backwards in time, from future to past, like precognition, precognitive viewing. That this is all possible, and not only possible, but necessary. So, the point is that if that kind of idea is considered so dangerous, disturbing the status quo so much that anybody who talks about that idea has to be demonized like Ive been, like Josephson has been. And even Valentini, they got to Valentini whos one of the guys who pinned it down, and now he doesnt talk about his own theory, like I didnt do this. Thats why its so ironic. You know what its like? Its like the Soviet Stalinist purge trials. Valentini is like one of those guys on trial in the Thirties who admitted that he didand now hes recanting. The conference begins this week. There will be no insights from Jack Sarfatti the very instigator of the conference; who worked with David Bohm and influenced the thinking of Antony Valentini, who then disinvited Sarfatti.

46

Brian Josephson will not attend.5 If something of value comes of the conference, it will be because of Sarfatti, and not in spite of him. Without Sarfatti, there would be no de Broglie-Bohm Conference this year, or in the foreseeable future. There is little doubt that the Tuscan Conference controversy has sparked a debate that will not end when the conference adjourns. For many, it has raised the same questions that Galileo faced 400 years ago, and the parallel with Galileos house arrest and Sarfattis now official quarantine are quite striking. While the Orthodoxy blackballing the Sarfattis, Josephsons and Peats of quantum physics is not a Vatican monolithic, the religious fervor with which mainstream physicists defend the Orthodox differs little, nor are the underlying motives different fear, pride & reputation, control, and most importantly, money. Rather than heliocentrism, the debate now rages over consciousness, the limits of the theory of relativity, dark energy, and Time. Those whove slipped the chains will not quietly accept the verdict of those who wittingly or unwittingly choose the shadows on the wall. (It should be noted that Dr. Towler was invited to give his unedited perspective on the Bohm Conference controversy, but did not respond.)

Science, Integrity and Mythos

Some might say that an outsider, and a layman to boot, commenting on the Bohm Conference controversy is a tad, as Mark Twain observed, like coming down out of the hills at the end of a battle to shoot the wounded. Not having spoken with Dr. Towler or Dr. Valentini, the only insights into their thinking come from what information is publically available. There are no intentional insinuations about their characters or accomplishments afoot save unmitigated condemnation of their insensitive and unwarranted treatment of accomplished and distinguished fellow physicists whose lives and careers demand respect. Both Towler and Valentini are very, very bright guys. But that is exactly the point, and it is where the paths of the lay and the learned cross.

In the end David Peat did not attend either even though he was re-invited. Maurice de Gosson whose parents escaped the Nazis found Towlers and Valentinis behavior so unsettling that he wrote a passionate note to them telling them why he would not attend in protest. Some of those who did attend reported that the meeting was not as exciting as it would have been if we three had been there.

47

For all of our highfalutin consulting models, coaching methodologies, and training programs, PRAXIS is dedicated to one very simple mission: empower people to live honorably, with Integrity, as truth-tellers in order to experience the goodness of being fully human. This is the intersection of our common humanity, where we all are equal, regardless of our knowledge, accomplishments, wealth, power, or social status shared and binding ethics with the same expectations for living honorably, with integrity. We believe that civil society depends on the integrity of those who are learned to safeguard its vital institutions. The learned hold not only a sacred public trust, but a responsibility to carry forward to each generation, untainted, the principles that enable the privileges and positions they enjoy. Enlightenment thinkers got it right as long as the fundamental institutions of society hold a moral foundation, free thought flourishes, and with it the advancement of the arts, sciences, and human progress. It is not a frivolous matter. Corrupted individuals ultimately corrupt institutions, which over time, corrupt the human mind. The Bohm imbroglio shows that the marginalization of Sarfatti and Josephson is symptomatic of the myopia, fear, and bended knee to very real centers of power and influence that are increasingly destabilizing the reputation and effectiveness of Science. Any reader of the classic Roman historians will tell you that human motivations have changed not a whit since the original toga parties. Competition, personality conflicts, fear, ambition name a profession, those elements are at play. As Sarfatti observed, Scientists are no better or no worse than most people. Theyre just like the people on Wall Street. They dont have a superior morality; in fact, they have an inferior morality, in my experience. Academics in general are nasty people. They stab you in the back. Theyre ultra competitive, just like the lawyers... And so are doctors. And so are politicians. And so are pastors and rabbis, accountants and carpenters, managers and clericals. It is the human condition. Nevertheless, we expect each other to live up to a calling higher than self-interest, to stand for integrity and live ethical lives, to uphold the highest standards of our professions. Without those expectations, we settle for the shadows and what the powerful few say they are, and in so doing, we lose our vision, and ultimately lose the capacity to be fully human. The irony is that Science is the last temple of virtue in a world that has lost its heroes. Millions even look to Science, rightly or wrongly, to drive our moral decisions, especially after the Church lost its primacy as moral referee. Science is supposed to be impartial, factual, and free of ideological taint and superstition, interested only in truth and knowledge, knee deep in its commitment to Integrity. That is the mythos of Science, but it is a mythos to which, each time an HCRI scandal or Tuscan Conference controversy unfolds, fewer and fewer subscribe.

48

Sarfatti asserts that the theoretical physics community at the level that Valentini and Towler operate, its like a mafia. Its a gang. There are some powerful people, like Godfathers and if you want to get jobs, its not a wise thing (to investigate the paranormal. Dr. Hnilo asserted essentially the same situation exists among the scientists who bridge no opposition to their global warming models. Certainly this is also an apt description of the state of Integrity within the international professions of climatology, atmospherics, biology, and anthropology as well. Notwithstanding the status quo, ultimately, truth prevails. Institutions and human frailties can limit knowledge and progress only for so long before the innate desire to know overpowers them. Just ask any former National Socialist Paper Clip expatriate. The scientific dialectic is inexorable todays thesis is synthesized with tomorrows anti-thesis, and understanding grows. Meanwhile, the cost of discipleship is paid by those whose ethics and integrity allow them no other choice than to speak out, fully aware of what happens when the chained find their worlds of comfort and status challenged. Perhaps the only way that new vistas in quantum physics can be discovered vistas that unveil astounding relationships between consciousness and matter and energy; between the future and the present, paranormal and the normal is for geniuses whose life experiences gear their thinking in those directions to lead the way. Is it not so in all aspects of life that the true pioneers, those who discover new lands or lay the groundwork for others to make such discoveries, are tothe-journey-born? Sarfatti has not lost his senses, but has spent his life coming to them, and as time goes by, his once radical assertion that there is a destiny to the universe, and that the future influences the past and the present, is quietly beginning to infect the body of quantum thinking. This is the eternal drama of the visionary not if, but when the shackled will trade in their shadows for the illumination. Whatever the current verdict may be inside of his profession, half a century from now mainstream quantum physics will posit a considerably different cosmology, and the theories of Dr. Jack Sarfatti and his fringe colleagues will be celebrated as groundbreaking, the forerunners of the new mainstream thinking. Perhaps then, the Sarfattis of tomorrow will be celebrated within their lifetimes.

Transcript of the Interview

Thursday, May 20, 2010 Present: Dr. Jack Sarfatti, Alan Waite (interviewer), Ryan Harbert (videographer), Jagdish Mann (guest), Daniel Geller6 (guest). ALAN: Jack, would you mind going back in your mind to your undergraduate work or prior to that and talk about how your interest in physics began? JACK: Probably prior because as I said I was part of a group of super kids, these genius kids that were being studied at the Columbia University Laboratory of William Sheldon, and one of his assistants, a Walter Breen, (were talking like 1953). One member of the group was a guy named Johnny Glogower. He was a year younger than me. He was a Westinghouse Science finalist. He was a Quiz Kid on the radio show Quiz Kids. There was a bunch of them, a guy named Robert Solovay, who became a famous mathematician at Berkeley. And even Alan Greenspan who became head of the the ALAN: Federal Reserve. JACK: Yeah. Greenspan is older than I am, but Greenspan became part of this group. It was all also connected somehow with Ayn Rand. Somehow Ayn Rand had something to do with it. It was also connected to the government. It had something to do with what later became Sandia Labs in New Mexico. In fact we used to have these guys come up (they looked like FBI guys), and this was the McCarthy era, to get pep talks about being patriotic and anti-communist and all that kind of stuff. So there were a lot of weird things going on. But its kind of liketheres a Twilight Zone episode that somebody recently told me about, where it turns out the screenplay is a fictionalized version of what was actually happening in real life. Its about this government program back in the Fifties with these whiz kids, and apparently there was a similar program at Berkeley - theres a friend of mine named Hank Harrison who was a part of it, whos the father of Courtney Love, actually Courtney Loves dad. And he apparently (were contemporary actually, about the same age in fact he lives in Sacramento)you might want to actually talk to him about the program. ALAN: Hank Harrison? JACK: Yeah, Hank Harrison. He has a ranch right outside of Sacramento, horse ranch. He apparently was in a similar program in Berkeley around this same time, this is like, the early Fifties, and it was tied up with the intelligence community, definitely with the government. It was kind of like the X-Men. I mean what they were trying to dowhat they were trying to see. First of all, they were trying to promote an interest in Science. And this is where his (pointing to Daniel Geller) dad comes in. And in the paranormal world - Danny, I dont know if you know Danny - is it all right, can I talk about his dad? ALAN: Yeah, sure.

Son of Uri Geller

JACK: Dannys father is Uri Geller, the psychic, you know, the famous Israeli scientist and psychic. Thats his dad, whom Ive known for many years. But the thing is thatand this is whats so interesting about itbecause we were tested, they were trying to induce paranormal powers in uslike telepathy, psycho-kinesis, and things like that. ALAN: How did they do that? JACK: There were experiments, and they would just sit with the kids, you know, trying to get them to move objects. We never moved anything, but there was a whole program going on about this. Also, they talked about aliens and flying saucers, trying to figure out how they fly, and all that kind of stuff, it was a lot of science fiction. Oh, and I met Isaac Asimov at that time. ALAN: When you were part of this program? JACK: Yeah, they used to take us to all these sci-fi conventions. Walter was very much part of the sci-fi scene then, and also hes one of the founders of MENSA. This is in New York in the Fifties. Walter wanted me to go to the University of Chicago for some reason. And when I graduated from high school in 1956, the people in this program wrote the recommendations for me for the schools I applied to. So I applied to MIT, Cornell, and the University of Chicago. For some reason my mother didnt want me to go to Chicago; it was too far away. Also the people in the neo-conservative movement came out of Chicago. One of the people, I forget the name, but one of the professors there who was an inspiration for neo-cons was in some way connected with this. So, at this point I wouldnt go to the University of Chicago. But Im actually wondering, where did Greenspan go? Is he from Chicago? ALAN: I dont know. JACK: Thatd be interesting to find out. Greenspan was part of this experiment. Or so Im told. I never met Greenspan at the time. He would have been four or five years older. ALAN: How old were you when all of this was happening? JACK: I was about thirteen when it started. So from about thirteen to sixteen. ALAN: Early to mid Fifties? JACK: Yeah, this is like Fifty-three to Fifty-six. And then I graduated high school, I was like sixteen going on seventeen that September. And it was in, you know, an accelerated program. So I went to Cornell, and I remember Breen wrote the recommendation that got me into Cornell. Apparently it was like a ten page recommendation. One of the things Breen said was something like, young fine age, emotionally mature. I was told this later, as a lot of scientist kids are nerds, you know, and he wrote that I would probably create a new physics, like Newton. My mother didnt have any money, and my parents were divorced, so I got a full scholarship to Cornell. My professors were the guys who built the atomic bomb in Los Alamos. You know,

51

like (Nobel laureate physicist) Hans Bethe? A lot of them were at Cornell and other Ivy League schools. I dont know if youve read it, have you seen the movie The Good Shepherd? ALAN: Oh, yes. JACK: Well, you remember how the opening scene of The Good Shepherd, Gilbert and Sullivan, the guy who plays Angleton ALAN: Jesus Angleton CIA Counter Intel character JACK: Yeah, the character. The opening scene of The Good Shepherd is where hes playing in a Gilbert and Sullivan opera at Yale. And the CIA guys come and recruit him for theuh ALAN: Skull and Bones. JACK: Yeah, Skull and Bones, and all that kind of thing. And the ending of the movie also goes back to that scene with Gilbert and Sullivan. Well, by coincidence, while in Cornell I was the lead tenor of the Gilbert and Sullivan [everyone laughs] JACK: And my voice teacher, who later became Sir Keith Faulkner (became knighted by the Queen of England), became the head of the Royal College of Musicbut theres this very tight relationship between the British and the Americans in the intelligence services. Of course, this is the Fifties. I mean, it was very different back then, it was a small world. The Ivy League was a recruiting ground for the intelligence services. ALAN: And early on, very early on, then, you were connected with the intelligence community. And that relationship stuck? JACK: Well, actually, I should have said even before then, because it turns out my grandfather, even before this Columbia Project, which was definitely some kind of intelligence thingbefore that my grandfather worked for the US Army. He was a veteran, and this is when I was 8 or 9 years old. I was actually living with the grandparents. And after school, I would go to meet my grandfather, who was at the Army Quartermaster Corps, in the Garment District of New York. And that was a very strange situation, maybe I was 10 or 11 years oldbut I would hang out there and play. And they had a laboratory there. They had the different cold weather uniforms, hot weather, that sort of stuff. It was like a museum. I was given free reign in this place. My grandfather drove around with these Army officers - my grandfather was driving the car, and I would sit in the back seat, with these colonelsthey must have been psychiatrists. I mean they were always analyzing. And its all kind of consistent. (because) at time I was, going to build rockets, go to the moon, or all this kind of stuff. But all of this was encouraging me, I was actually in the company of these Army officers alot. Thats when I saw this fun colonel named Phil Corso who wrote a book, The Day After Roswell, many years later. Im pretty sure Col. Corsos one of those guys, reallythough I cant prove it. This wouldve been around 1950.

52

But its a consistent story, and it all makes sense. Then there were other scientists. A guy named Hal Puthoff, whos right now in Texas, about my age, also had similar experiences, and has been involved, I mean he actually was a Naval officer. He worked for the National Security Agency, and is now one of the active researchers in UFOs and the paranormal. In fact it was Hal Puthoff who was involved in a CIA project at Stanford Research Institute back in the 70s. Thats where I first met him. So this has all been kind of a consistent picture of what looks like a very long term intelligence effort, definitely involving the British, definitely involving the Americans and probably other agencies as well (maybe the Israelis as well) to investigate these kind of fringe areas which are now called UFOs and the paranormal, and how physics could explain it. This idea to try to explain consciousness and possible flying saucers, the big thing back then, was part of this project. So I was involved in that from the very beginning. ALAN: What did this experience you had starting offvery early on in a field that was obviously of great interest to you, that you were gifted in, and you were surrounded by people who were interested in specific applications - I suppose, weaponizing for intelligence use - what sort of possibilities did that put into your mind? Does that make sense? How did you see the world at that time? JACK: Well, youve got to remember this was, I can still kind of remember World War II. I mean I was like 5, 6 years old when it ended. But I remember walking my grandfather down the Hudson River and seeing armadas of airplanes, you know, like hundreds of airplanes I guess going over Europe. I can remember that. And I can remember victory gardens, and I remember blackouts. It wasnt quite like London, nobody was bombing us. But I remember the stories of how the V-2s were going to hit New York and all that kind of stuff. My mothers brother, Arthur, was in the warin the Pacific. In fact, he had been in the Army Reserves. He was supposed to get out in December of 41, then there was Pearl Harbor. And so he was on the first, one of the first boats leaving San Francisco to go overseashe was at Guadalcanal. This is another interesting thing; he had a reputation for being psychic, you see, because he was in a lot of combat - he was overseas for four and a half years. And even when he was not in the jungles, they had him teaching, in New Zealand or something, as a jungle warfare instructor. And I think at one point, they had him working with the Navajo Indians, you know, the Whisperers? ALAN: The Windtalkers? JACK: Yeah, the Windtalkers, cause apparently he got this sort of, they used to call him the Jewish Indian. He had this reputation, everybody wanted to be wherever he was because he had a sense in the junglethe snipers in the tree, he sort had an accurate sense for where they were. And there was one outfit, I think when he first went over, the 25th Division or something, it was famous since around 90% of them were killed. Tremendous casualties. And he was one of the few that survived without getting shotI have photographs of him during the war

53

So, the military, they were always interested in stuff like that. I mean the militarys more open to the paranormal. So one reason that possibly the Army became interested in me was because of my uncle. That they wanted to see if any of theif theres any kind of familial sort of thing in the gene pool And this is speculation. I dont really know for sure. ALAN: So youre trained, as you go through school, from a very, I would imagine, traditional set scientific perspective. This is what Science is; this is how its done JACK: Oh yeah, at Cornell. In Cornell, there was never, yeah. ALAN: None of that was compromised by JACK: Well, I mean, that I almost forgotten, it was actually Cornell. That whole perspective of Science was put in the my subconscious. I was not really actively involved with the fringe stuff when I was at Cornell although when I would go to New York I would visit Walterbut, I guess its more of something we had to do really. This actually involves his dad (pointing to Daniel Geller). When I was thirteen or maybe twelve, I got a very strange set of phone calls in which there was a mechanical voice, and it could have been simulated, but the story is of this mechanical voice that it was a computer onboard a spacecraft in the future! ALAN: The Godphone?xx JACK: The Godphone. And you know, it wanted to teach me things, and I was supposed to meet these others in 20 years. This was 1953 and twenty years would be 1973. So this kind of whole weird thing happened. And the odd thing about it was that I only remember one of the phone calls. But my mother, I only found this out later, my mother remembers weeks of them and hours at a time, which I have no memory of whatsoever. I was walking around glassy-eyed. And finally she got worriedfinally she grabbed the phone from me and says whos this? and heard this metallic sounding voice. And it said this is a computer aboard a spacecraft and it wanted to speak to me. She got angry and said Dont ever call here again, and slammed the phone down. That was her memory of it that she told me about later. ALAN: So, could the phone calls have been part of a government program? JACK: Well, I think that maybe it was. Its one of two things. Either it was what it says it was, or a government program, take your choice. I mean, given everything else, it sounds like its a government project. Theyre still playing psychological games on these kids, quite possibly. So thats the most likely explanation. But the uncanny part, and this involves his (indicating Daniel Geller) dad, because I spoke to Uri, right around the same time, I think Uri; hes what, 63, 64 years old? Theres seven years difference in age. (To Daniel) Im about seven years older than your father. (To Alan) So Uri is walking around Tel Aviv, I think it was Tel Aviv, in a park or something. And up until that point Uriwas a normal kid. And apparently this orb of light - this is the story, and there is a witness to this - this orb of light comes down and Uri is seven years old at

54

the time, and shoots a beam, like a laser beam into his head well youve probably heard this story. Uri runs to his mother, runs from the park to his house. Years later, there was a young Israeli soldier in the park who witness the actual event, who later became a sort of, correct me if Im wrong, but became high up in the Israeli military, maybe a general, or a high ranking military officer. But he came, maybe in the last year or two he went public and said he saw the whole thingit was actually on Israeli television, wasnt he? DANIEL: I believe so, I believe so. JACK: So, theres a corroboration of this story, and the thing is that, this weird incident, were talking Twilight zone here, a real X-files sort of thing. Uris experience was about the same time as my phone calls were happening. And whatever was on the other end of that the telephone said I would begin to link up with the others, part of the group, in twenty years. Twenty years would be around 1973. I have a book called Destiny Matrix where this whole story is told. A lot of people have written about it. Its actually on the web. By a very odd co-incidence, I cant go into it now because its too complex, but I wind up at Stanford Research Institute with Hal Puthoff and Russell Targ who was working with the CIA, which was not known publically, but later came out that they were. And theyre experimenting on remote viewing, ESP, paranormal stuff. Uri Geller was one of their subjects, as was a guy named Pat Price. Very secret official government project dealing with paranormal stuff. I was a professor of physics at this time at San Diego State, and it happened that I was leaving town. I was on my way to, in fact, see a Pakistani physicist named Abdus Salam - he had invited me to Europe to the UNESCO Institute of Physics, which is also a part of the International Atomic Energy Agency, you know, the ones who now monitor Iran. I was invited there as a scientist, and I made it there by a very weird set of circumstances. I met Edgar Mitchell, the astronaut who was on the moon. Edgar Mitchell was very into the paranormal as was a guy named Brendan ORegan, one of the people running the project. And I was asked at the time because I had been the assistant to a man named David Bohm at the University of London. And I was asked to help arrange tests of Dannys father, Uri, at the University of London. At the time of course, you know, this was a CIA operation, but I didnt know that. I was just the academic; I guessed they called me an asset. I must say, before this happened, 1963, right after the Kennedy assassination, I was working, I had like a summer job at this defense contractor in Newport Beach, California at Ford Philco Aeronutronics. And After Kennedy was killed; it was like 9/11. I did volunteer for the CIA. I was actually interviewed by the CIA at their office. ALAN: In what capacity? JACK: Well, as an asset, whatever. I didnt even know. ALAN: You wanted to work for the CIA?

55

JACK: Well, I even tried to join the Navy, as a physicist. Yeah, I volunteered for the Navy. But nothing ever came of it. I know I was interviewed, they had these tape recording machines, it was several hours up near UCLA, we were pretty patriotic World War II erathe kidsI was fairly patriotic, gung honot at all anti-American, left-wing ALAN: Wasnt that in the late Sixties? JACK: Not late 60S this was 1963 right after JFKs murder in Dallas. I could tell you about that as well. But nothing officially ever happened in terms of the CIA. All these weird things later were connected. In the mid 80s, I met a guy named Harold Chipman, whos now dead. He was the Station Chief of the Central Intelligence Agency in Munich, Germany and he ran MK ULTRA in San Francisco. Apparently he was one of the guys behind the scenes that set up the SRI experiments. In the mid Eighties he actually funded some of my work and tried to get a think tank going. So these connections with the United States government intelligence community have been there almost all my life. ALAN: How common is that, Jack, for people like you theoretical physicists - to be connected with intelligence agencies? JACK: Well, I think its common I think it was fairly common, at least back then because remember it was a much smaller world back then. There werent that many people, not like it is today. I mean we had compulsory ROTC at Cornell, okay, and I was in the Air Force ROTC. When we graduated, President Eisenhower reviewed the troops. The President of the United States came up in front of our class; were looking at the President of the United States! It was a whole different world. When I first arrived in Ithaca as a freshman in 1956, our counselor was Governor Averell Harriman, U.S. Ambassador to Russia, and I shook hands with him when I was a Cornell sophomore. I met Harry Truman at the Student Hall. ALAN: What was the understanding in the scientific community at that time - about where Science was going? A brave new world, were breaking into new fields, were finding out new things, youre at the cutting edge? JACK: Yeah. ALAN: And youre intricately connected with intelligence agencies and defense programs, things that people decades later, particularly people on the Left would have significant problems with JACK: Yeah. ALAN: Moral problems how did that work for you? JACK: Well, that was not first of all, back in my generation, it was all taken for granted you did things for your country. It was not even questioned until the Sixties. I was on the periphery; I can tell you what happened. In the Sixties when I left Cornell, I spent two years at Brandeis University, the graduate program at Brandeis, I ran out of time at Cambridge. There, I met

56

Eleanor Roosevelt, Herbert Marcuse and Angela Davis . and I got involved with a lot of that stuff I was fairly naive, but I must say my main interest was Science. I was not politicaland there was a natural patriotism in the Fifties. My uncle was a war hero. Around Harvard, the Harvard/Cambridge thing, I got involved with John Cage, composer ALAN: You could not have been popular with the defense establishment JACK: No, I dont think I dont know I was a National Defense Scholar, but I even did some work, I think, for whoever was the left wing candidate. My wife was more into it. I didnt know what I was doing. But I was involved with SANE, the people at SANE, S-A-N-E, the Sane Nuclear policy. I was sort of on the periphery of all that. Then I wound up at UCSD. And UCSD back in the mid Sixties. Now UCSD is part of the Military-Industrial-Complex. We had Edward Teller would come down there all the time. Harold Uri, these are all famous, you know John Archibald Wheeler, Keith Brueckner was the head of the JASONS, the JASONS were elite defense department physicists designing the electronic fences in Vietnam and San Diegos a big military town. So, UCSD on the scientific end was totally enmeshed in the defense industry.

57

June 1959 Cornell Wedding Jack Sarfatti and Judith Bellemore photo But the liberal arts department had Herbert Marcuse taken in from Brandeis and Angela Davis. My wife was more into liberal arts. So I knew them socially, and got involved with the formation of the Peace and Freedom Party in San Diego also I must say, before that, at Cornell, a lot of my friends were involved in the freedom movement in Mississippi. ALAN: These are all things that are even outside the mainstream of the Democratic Party. JACK: Yes, yeah. Absolutely. So I was on the periphery of all this. By the time I got to San Diego, I was teaching. One of my co-professors Fred Alan Wolf was pretty well known in those days. Hes kind of a movie star now. What was that film, What the Bleep or something like

58

that? In any case, we had the Black Panthers Huey Newtons he used to come to La Jolla so, I was a sort of Forest Gump and Zelig witness to a lot of these historical things on the Left. ALAN: where are you going at this time? Where in your mind are you going in the field of Science? Youre dealing with the government, and yet you certainly had your own fascination and own interests. There are a lot of issues that are there from your past dealing with the paranormal and things that are outside the mainstream...taking you where? JACK: Well, about the paranormal at the time in San Diego from the mid 60s until 197172, I was pretty straight and narrow in terms of mainstream science. I was not thinking very much about the fringe stuff at all. Then in 1973, 20 years after the phone calls, a whole bunch of weird things started happening. Its too complicated to go into, but its in my book Destiny Matrix. I wound up at this SRI thing with Geller, and theres all kinds of weird things happening, so from 73 I ran into all these weird peoplewitches and warlocks in London, just a whole bunch of crazy stuff happening. ALAN: So it was like an awakening? JACK: Oh yesdefinitely an awakening. Lots of people who were in the occult. Okay, its 1974, Im commuting between Trieste, working with Abdus Salam at UNESCOs - International Center for Theoretical Physics -, very straight science. But the institute we were at in Trieste was a meeting ground between the Russians and Eastern Europeans; it was still the Cold War. That project was definitely an intelligence thingit was CIA, and we were right in the middle of it, Fred Alan Wolf and I. Fred, who looked like a real hippie, long hair and all, hes a character. Fred was real adventurous, much more adventurous than I am. I went back to Trieste, I had to work, and Fred was footloose and fancy- free, so Fred was invited to Bulgaria in 1974 and he had an affair with this woman who turned out to be the daughter of the KGB chief the secret police in Bulgaria. Another interesting thing was in the Spring of 1974. There was a very wealthy woman in London; I think Daniels dad knows her Judith was that her name? Anyway, theres this wealthy American heiress living in London, who was very into the paranormal, and she had this beautiful house in London, I remember it had an Olympic-sized swimming pool in the basement. Ira Einhorn stayed with her more than once. So we were staying there with some of the people from the SRI, and we drove up to it, I remember she took us in here white Porsche up to Cambridge University - there was a meeting of the Para-psychological Association there. Thats where I first met Brian Josephson, who is very into the paranormal. I also met Steven Hawkings research assistant named Bernard Carr now professor of physics at the university and later became head of the English Society of Research. So I met all these people there. There was a group of guys from the CIA there too. One of those people invited me to dinner, his name was Dennis Bardens. Dennis Bardens, if you look him up on the Internet, well, hes dead now, but he was definitely with British Intelligence. He was the biographer of Winston

59

Churchill. He was also into the paranormal. Oh, in fact he was a producer he invented Panorama on the BBC. He even did something during the war in Czechoslovakia. You know, were talking about the MI6, James Bond, OSS, one of those guyshe was that era, and he looked it. ALAN: Was he involved with Aleister Crowley and his crew? JACK: Maybe, Crowley and all that; all kinds of connections to Crowley... we havent got into that yet but all kinds of connections there. In fact even Ayn Rand was connected with Crowley. Thanks for reminding me. So, were at this meeting and Dennis Bardens, hes an older man, and a general very established, a Winston Churchill staff type, very distinguished, and he says Dr. Sarfatti, Id like to take you to dinner. So we went to the Blue Boar Inn in Cambridge. I remember I had duck and cherry sauce. I swear something right out of a James Bond film. Then we went into the club for brandy, and Bardens looks at me and says Dr. Sarfatti, first and he winks at me. (he was a little bit drunk); I must tell you that I am a Kabbalist. Another wink in his eye. Now, I had just come from Paris, I had just been involved with these Kabbalists, a French guy7, a whole other story there. Bardens was telling me he knew the people I had been with in Paris. The people I was with in Paris were very Lawrence Durrell, the author who was a member of the British Intelligence in World War II, very well knownit was cloak-and-dagger stuff. Im a Kabbalist he says then he gets serious and says Dr. Sarfatti, it is my duty to inform you that there is a psychic war raging across the continents between the Soviet Union and your country, and you are to be in the thick of it. And I didnt quite know what he was referring to, so I just said, Okay. ALAN: Straight out of Smileys People. JACK: Absolutely. Absolutely. And things got even weirder. ALAN: Well, let me stop you for just a moment, Jack. His connections with British Intelligence were such that he knew that American Intelligence had plans for you? Was that it? JACK: Well, Im looking back, and remember, at the moment I was still in my early thirties. Lots of testosterone, some sexy English woman had picked me up and wanted me to spend the night with her. I didnt even want to have dinner with him, I had other things on my mind, I mean, I was, you know, totally distracted (laughter). ALAN: Yes, of course. Quite understandable (laughter). JACK: Yeah. But I was a lot younger then. So I sorta-kinda understood what he was talking about, but I had other things on my mind. I was just being polite, taking him to dinner, even though I knew it was something official, If had a sense that there was a lot of this stuff going

Carlo Giuseppe Suars (18921976) was a French writer, painter and Kabbalah author. He was born the 12 May 1892 in Alexandria, Egypt. The ancestors of his Sepharad Jewish family had been expelled from Spain in 1492 and found refuge in Italy before immigrating to Egypt. He died in Paris the 16 July 1976. - Wikipedia

on., and he couldnt be much more explicit than thatbut it was just another in a series of weird things that started happening at that time... ALAN: So, essentially youve been groomed throughout your entire life, since the Godphone calls? JACK: Exactly. ALAN: By the government United States government. JACK: Oh yeah. Absolutely. ALAN: And eventually you were involved in a series of clandestine programs. JACK: Yeah. ALAN: And at that point youre taking an interest in what people call the paranormal, things outside the box, but youre still a rising star in the establishment science JACK: Well, I became kind of a maverick. Heres what happened, and this gets back to some of the recent stuff thats been happening (with the Tuscan Conference Controversy.). At the time with the Uri Geller paranormal tests, the tests at the University of London, I came out, and was a witness to these tests done by Arthur Koestler. But it was being done under the CIA, and I wrote a little report of what I witnessed at Birkbeck College (University of London) with David Bohm and Arthur Clarke, and Arthur Koestler, and Uri Geller bending the metal I just wrote this thing and gave it to Brendan ORegan, who was part of Edgar Mitchells Noetics Institute, the SRI people. Instantly this thing went all over the world as a major press release in every major newspaper. Now, that normally doesnt happen. Thats CIA. I was being used, in a way. I wrote this little thing about what I thought, was very positive, judging from what I saw, Uris ability to bend metal with his thoughts. So as a result of that article, immediately, I found that I had powerful enemies in the academic establishment. I remember when I went back to America, I was up in Boston, and my undergraduate advisor Phil Morrisonxxi, who was then a professor at MIT, the book editor for Scientific American, and Morrison warned me. He said This is very bad for your academic career; politically it would be hard for you to get a job. Not good to come out in favor of inquiring into the paranormal. ALAN: And the paranormal is not even to this day been something that the scientific establishment JACK: Well ALAN: considers being fair game in terms of study?

61

JACK: Wait a minute; its very tricky because it has to do with whats recently happened with Michael Towler, Antony Valentini and the London Times controversy that is happening now. Theres a war going on, warring factions, okay, involving factions within the intelligence community itself. I dont claim to Im not privy to all it, but at that time, I was put under a lock. And even the Amazing Randi (world famous magician)xxii took me to lunch back here in Californiaand Randi says Uris a fake. I can do this, bending metals and at one point he kind of scared me and I said Okay, sure, its a trick, physicists can be fooled. My arm was being twisted not to apparently I got all this publicity because of the Central Intelligence Agency being involved, right? I was just a professor Assistant Professor of Physics at San Diego State. Why else am I suddenly getting this worldwide coverage? ALAN: Because if you can be excluded from the regular community, therefore youd be more inclined to JACK: Well, whatever. But the thing is that was a turning point in which I became kind of a black sheep in terms of the respectable scientific community. ALAN: Were you the only one? JACK: No, not yet. Brian Josephson too. ALAN: Brian Josephson was (a black sheep) at that time? JACK: Oh, well, he became very quickly because Josephson was a stubborn guy - Dont dont mess with the Zohan. I mean he doesnt look likehe looks like Woody Allen, but hes a tough cookie and he got involved with the Maharishi, got into meditation. He did the whole Sixties and Seventies thing, Timothy Leary and all of those people, I was part of that circle. Josephson has basically been ostracized in his own community, Cambridge, even though Josephson is a Nobel Prize winning physicist, a fellow of the Royal Society, and hes been a guest of Queen Elizabeth at Buckingham Palace. Nobel Prize winner, and all that. and he was (treated that way) I know Brian very well. He was my guest in San Francisco back in the Seventies. He has basically been marginalized at Cambridge. The Physics Mafia Chiefs have not allowed him to get government assistantships for his students. Theoretical physicists have formed a priesthood of death since they created the atomic bomb. ALAN: Help me understand this: if string theory can not be proven, why is the paranormalwhy are any of these other outside the box investigations not ok? JACK: Well, thats a very good question. I dont have a good answer, but its a great question, and I think it has to be asked, and this has to be made into a political issue. It is a political issue. You know, its not even a question at this point of believing whether or not, say, Uri has the power (to bend metal with his mind) or doesnt have the power, I personally think he does, because I have seen other things since then, very many things, but whether or not you believe it is not the point. The point is intellectual freedom, academic freedom and why the people who are thinking outside the box are being demonized.

62

ALAN: Which brings us to the whole Towler Scandal JACK: The whole Towler/ Valentini Scandal, where Towler went on the web, and was blaming me, says Because of you, my wife and Valentinis wife and children have been threatened by these extremists. I mean I cant help that, if theyve created a situation that became in other words, we were not supposed to respond to this at all. We were not supposed to make it public what happened. The point is what Brian Josephson found out - that there are certain powerful people in the physics community who the twisted arms, metaphorically, of Towler and Valentini. Its very its so unusual. Normally, if you dont want somebody to come to a meeting, you just never invite them. But since I was one of the creators of the meeting, I mean, to make it so (obvious) something extraordinary happened there, okay? Towler and Valentinithey were threatened with their jobs or something. The question is who pressured Towler and Valentini to actually do this? Who did this? Who was behind that? Brian Josephson is trying to find out. He wants to know. Hes not going to let go of this. ALAN: And why would they succumb to that? JACK: And why would they succumb to that? I experienced a kind of pressure through Morrison and the Amazing Randi back in the Seventies. But look, this is the second time this has happened. Theres another incident that happened in Brazil. I published a paper about two or three years ago. Its very groundbreaking work about the emergence of the gravitational field from a deeper level. But the point is I was learning some new mathematics, Im sleepwalking8 by myself, and some of the mathematics was not quite correct, it was work in progress. So I published version one, and theres this guy named Waldyr Rodrigues Jr. who was a friend of mine in Brazil, in fact I was a visiting professor down in UNICAMP, Brazil, which is the MIT of Brazil. And so, we were friends. In fact, Waldyr is a consultant for the Brazilian Air Force, Brazilian military, and hes very into the paranormal. Hes very much into the reality of UFOs weve met generals in the army telling us all about this stuff. By the way, Uri Geller is like a superstar in South America and Brazil, hes like John Lennon. I mean that whole culture, they accept this as part of their reality, you know. But in any case, when this paper that I wrote came out, and I acknowledged Waldyr in this paper. I even said in the paper that this should not mean that Waldyr supports my theory in any way. But Waldyr sent me a letter (that criticized my paper), and he was like, very guilty; he said he felt guilty about it. He wrote something that corrected the math. But the math was a minor thing compared to the idea. The idea is still valid. But then Waldyr told another guy whos actually a physicist named Tony Smith that he was put under pressure that money for his graduate students would be taken away if he didnt try to make me look like idiot, ok? Sotheres a whole pattern here. The question is, who is doing this, why are they doing it? It involves politics. It involves defense issues, because any of this stuff were working on, if its real, has immense military weapons implications. Immense.

ALAN: There were several articles just recently about anti-gravity JACK: Immense! Theres no question about it. And theres no question that theres an international involvement, and the Israelis are definitely involved, the Russians are involved. We worked with a bunch of Russians. Theres an international effort going on. Now, with my new website, http://stardrive.org, of course I have the latest surveillance software Clicky. So, were able to see whos downloading information. Weve had some from Moscow, from Iran, Tehran, from Saudi Arabia, from Tel Aviv everybodys looking at this stuff. ALAN: But you have not been a critic of these programs. JACK: Which programs? ALAN: Any of these programs that the government is involved in. You havent been a critic of the science. Youve actually been a leading figure in cutting edge science, so why would any special interest be (attacking you) JACK: Well, a lot of people Ive been demonized. Ive been demonized as a wacko, as a kook, I had a lot of problems with Wikipedia, finally corrected all this stuff, but now they have just decimated it again. Its no good. Ive been really demonized for like 30 years. Since breaking since you know, getting involved in consciousness. Roger Penrose, whos a very respected professor, even though he says some of the same things Im saying, certain people can say it and nobody attacks them because they have the mainstream credentials. But Ive been demonized, and still am demonized, very demonized by certain powerful factions in mainstream physics, and so has Josephson has to a lesser degree actually Josephson has been fairly demonized too. Josephsonthey said, Well, hes mentally ill, something happened to him. And even David Bohm himself was demonized to some extent for thinking outside the box. So this is a real problem, its inquisitorial its like the Spanish Inquisition. But the question is why are they doing it? Why are they taking active, literally, active measures like the KGB Section 8, active measures, termination? ALAN: Is it just cultural? JACK: I dont know (JAGDISH MANN, Off-screen): Its the yellow socks.xxiii JACK: (Laughs) Its the yellow socks. ALAN: thats the obvious answer. JACK: But

64

ALAN: Is it something akin to the British Medical Board and all the advances that were made in various areas of medicine, in the teens and twenties and thirties of the 20th century, and doctors like that were thrown out or JACK: Yeah oh you mean like you mean an actor in some movie? ALAN: (A.J.Cronins) The Citadel? JACK: Yes, The Citadel. That look, I think that serves as a fact but theres something else going on and until Brian Josephson discovers the names of those who were at that meeting in Italy in August of who pressured Towler and Valentini to disinvite Josephson, David Peat and myself, even though they kind of re-invited Josephson and Peat because they were so embarrassed by it, and I became the scapegoat. Im the Shylock. But until they find out whos responsible for that and what their politics are, what their real motives are, who theyre really working for, until thats uncovered, were not going to really know whats going to happen, but theres something big behind all this Ive been working with a scientist from the Central Intelligence Agency, a science and technology directorate that monitors all of this stuff. I was recently at a JASON meeting, General Dynamics in La Jolla. military elite scientists were there. Ive been involved with Russian scientists, and Jean Pierre Vigier, French scientist, who recently died. So, theres a lot more to this than meets the eye. I believe that its going to be some really heavy political thing, maybe Im dramatizing it, I dont know the fat lady hasnt sung yet. We dont really know all the forces and why theyre doing this and what their motives are, but remember were talking about a technology coming out from this that would render all conventional weaponry impotent and obsolete. So, theres a lot at stake here, and of course, Towler and Valentini make me look like a crazy nut for even saying it anymore. ALAN: Do they believe that theres potential in these technologies? Anti-gravity propulsion JACK: Well, I dont know what Towler and Valentini think. You got to remember Towler and Valentini, first, I was very friendly with Towler. His office is a few offices away from Brian Josephson, and everything was very cordial. And suddenly this April 19, bang, all of this happens like something happened to have changed. I mean, they could have just had the meeting (Tuscan Conference) and nothing would happen. They could have just let go and there would never have been any issue. So what made them do this? We have to find out what that was. ALAN: I thought it was really interesting to read Valentinis response (to public questions as to why Sarfatti was dis-invited), which was really not a response. I mean, he said nothing. JACK: Yeah, right. ALAN: He gave no real explanation, which in and of itself is begging the question. JACK: Okay, now, whats interesting Josephson is very political, because Josephson is in Bejing, hes in China, and hes a guest of the Chinese government, Nobel Prize winning physicist. Now, you have to understand, the Chinese culture sees the paranormal as part of their

65

culture. They accept it as a reality. So do the South Americans, it is a cultural thing. Its this narrow Western thing (that discourages paranormal inquiry). So Josephsons invited as a guest of the Chinese government for the next month or so, and by the way, the Chinese, in terms of real technical and competent physicists are asking the right questions that infringe on paranormal signal non-locality, various thingslike cold fusionand Josephson is into cold fusion. Not only is Josephson into the paranormal, hes into cold fusion and hes also into homeopathy. So Josephson has all kinds of interests but even his Nobel Prize doesnt protect him (from western critics). So with the power of the geopolitical situation, whats going on there, it staggers the imagination. Josephson is fighting mad. Hes going to find out who pressured Valentini and Towler. Its not over. Its just beginning. ALAN: Well, at least from a standpoint of human integrity, it seems a betrayal of the scientific process. JACK: Its a total betrayal. ALAN: Facts whatever they be, you follow them.. JACK: You follow them and you find out yes. I mean, this is a betrayal. Its a definite betrayal. ALAN: Looking for the next synthesis JACK: Its kind of ethnic cleansing on an intellectual level. You go in fact the reason they gave one of the reasons that Valentini and Towler gave they were afraid that if Sarfatti, Josephson and David Peat were at this meeting that some of the younger students would not be able to get jobs in Academia. ALAN: Sounds like how the students of Galileo JACK: Well, even if the science turns out to be wrong as you say, string theory, theres much more evidence for the paranormal and UFOs than there is with string theory, and yet string theory dominates the physics departments right now. This is all so crazy, but on the other hand, everythings pretty crazy right now. We have the BP gulf oil spill, we have the financial breakdown. By the way, the derivatives (that played a part in the financial meltdown), who invented financial derivatives which Warren Buffet called the weapons of monetary destruction? The string theorists on Wall Street selling out Main Street. ALAN: Saw that special on PBS. JACK: Yea, string theorists. So, thats the string theory. Thats the financial meltdown. And we may not even God knows whats going to happen, we may not survive. We may be witnessing the breakdown of civilization as we know it. Very rapidly. We dont know yet whats going to happen with this oil thing. It could be a lot worse than it looks. Plus methane being released in the tundra, in the arctic, it may be Apocalypse Now, we dont know. But its a

66

kind of mass insanity, mass intolerance, a kind of fascist view of things, and it has invaded Science itself. ALAN: How does the community of physicists around the world operate? I mean, is there, and I apologize for not knowing this, is there an organization that they function though? JACK: Well, no. Theres the American Physical Society9, which does a lot of good work. Look, there are a lot of good physicists out there, and I must say that experimental physics and applied physics are flourishing. Theres a lot of great stuff out there. But, Im a theoretical physicist, okay? Theres a lot of good stuff happening in cosmology, the Big Bang, inflation, dark energy, dark matter, the missing stuff of the universe making up 96% of the universe we dont really know what it is. I think I know what it is, but thats another thing. I think Ive solved the problem. I may be wrong, but I made a prediction the Large Hadron Collider Accelerator will not show any dark matter particles because dark matter is not made out of particles whizzing through space. Its a phase of the quantum vacuum of space, its called virtual particles inside the vacuum. I made a very definite prediction, I could be proved wrong at any time. So far all the evidence, so far my theory is good, has not been disproved yet. Its better than string theory because theres no way to disprove string theory. But the point is in terms of physics... the Tuscany meeting, the Bohm meeting is based really heavily based on quantum computing and quantum information theory. Its about Bohms theory, and that is almost like string theory because we have no real quantum computers. They make a certain assumption there - they assume that information cannot be transmitted faster than the speed of light, and from that assumption, they derive all kinds of things about the security of quantum cryptography, and cryptography is very important for intelligence work and for financial security and all kinds of stuff. The ironic thing is that Valentini, whos the guy who wrote the rude letter, his own theory is based on what Brian Josephson and I have said years before! He even said that, see? But for Valentini, it is a real betrayal, a real intellectual betrayal on his part. Hes under so much pressure that he will not rise in the academic establishment if he even emphasizes his own discovery which is a system that I was describing for many years and what Josephson was saying for many years - basically, that you can communicate not only faster-than-light, but backwards in time, from future to past, like precognition, precognitive viewing. That this is all possible, and not only possible, but necessary. So, the point is that if that kind of idea is considered so dangerous, disturbing the status quo so much that anybody who talks about that idea has to be demonized like Ive been, like Josephson has been. And even Valentini, they got to Valentini whos one of the guys who pinned it down, and now he doesnt talk about his own theory, like I didnt do this. Thats why its so ironic. You know what its like? Its like the Soviet Stalinist purge trials. Valentini is like one of those guys on trial in the Thirties who admitted that he did ALAN: and now he recants. JACK: Hes recanting. Oh, my God. Its that kind of its so bizarre, its very surreal. Its also very interesting.

This interview happened months before I knew of Hal Lewiss complaint against the APS over Climate-Gate.

ALAN: And in your experience this is not how Science was conducted in your life? JACK: Well, its not the way no. Actually, unfortunately it is the way Science has been because scientists are no better no worse than most people. Theyre just like the people on Wall Street. They dont have a superior morality, in fact, they have an inferior morality, in my experience. Academics in general are nasty people. They stab you in the back. Theyre ultra competitive, just like the lawyers like the movie with Michael Douglas, Wall Street. Its the same thing. Also, you gotta remember, in Academia, theres been a shrinking budget, its like you have rats in a cage where theres not enough space to go around. Theyre all competing for the money. They dont get paid much in academia anyway, budgets are shrinking, and people are getting desperate, desperate fear of driving a cab. Theres an academic who last I heard, he was driving a cab in Prague, or thats the story because he was fired from Harvard because he had a big mouth. Political, conservative, he had this blog, whatever. but most of the young physicists today are fear-driven because there are no jobs, the economys shrinking, and its also troubling Universities. So theres a tremendous fear of not getting a job in Physics and that has a lot to do with whats going on right now. But it was not the way I was brought up, it was a very idealistic thing: Science was seeking the Truth, and all that matters is where it leads you. ALAN: Now weve come around full circle because what Im hearing you say right now is that you were guided by a set of principles, a set of beliefs about what Science is, how it should be practicedyouve head to that ideal. Youve tapped that ideal. JACK: And so has Josephson, and so has Peat, so have as lot of these scientists. ALAN: Yet there are other people and Im assuming just by their bios on the web theyre younger, Towler is younger, Valentini is younger? JACK: Yeah, and theyre all his age, theyre all Dannys age, late 20s, early 30s. And theyre very bright. Apre mois, Le deluge. ALAN: Question: why would there be a difference in terms of ideal, matching action with your ethics, which is what integrity is defined as, why would that be so different in your generation if thats a general rule as opposed to theirs? JACK: Well, I dont know. I come from a really weird generation. The Sixties, we were real rebels. ALAN: But you were an idealistic generation. I grew up in the Sixties as well. JACK: Im as old as you, and youre at least 20 years younger than me. ALAN: I was fourteen. (DANIEL GELLER, off-screen): Yeah, so he got the edge of it. JACK: Okay, youre right there. All right.

68

ALAN: So, whats the difference (in how each generation approaches the scientific method)? JACK: I dont know. Maybe you should ask Danny, hes so young. I dont know. (DANIEL GELLER, off-screen): I know a lot of fine young people who are very have integrity. JACK: No, theres some (JAGDISH MANN, off-screen): This maybe makes sense. JACK: Well, I dont know. In this case, look. You know what it is? The theoretical physics community at the level that says Valentini and Towler operate, its like a Mafia. Its a gang. And they are some powerful people, like Godfathers. We dont know who they are yet. Im suspicious of whom they might be. Some of those people will be at this meeting. Apparently, some of the key people at the meeting, the older people said we will not attend this meeting if Josephson and Sarfatti attend. And if you want to get jobs, its not a wise thing (to investigate the paranormal). So they were put under a lot of pressure to do that extreme thing (disinvite Sarfatti and Josephson). Its just not proper English to do anything like that at that stage. (JAGDISH MANN, off-screen): Some meeting of mafia capos? JACK: A meeting of mafia capos in Tuscany. So maybe one day the truth will come out. The issue, some of the people who will be at the Tuscany meeting, are they the same people who pressured Waldyr Rodrigues a few years ago in Brazil to demonize me? You see? Thatd be interesting. And then, who do they work for? So hopefully, maybe one day well get to the bottom of this. I dont know right now. Its a mystery. ALAN: Ultimately you get down to the old motivations of power, money, secrets10 JACK: Well it has to do withits gotta do with defense. Ultimately it gets back to the military, it gets back to weapons. And I must tell you this: the Chinese are going ahead. The Chinese are they are going to beat us at this game. ALAN: Certainly we know that? JACK: Theyre going to beat us. Our government knows that, understands what Chinas doing, how far it has? JACK: Well, the thing is theyre not under the same constraints. Their scientists are going ahead with the kinds of issues that Brian Josephson and me and the others talked about our ideas are being demonized here, in China, theyre actively working on it.. And so are the Russians, and so

are the Iranians. The Iranians are doing some very interesting things the Iranians are very smart people. In fact, Ahmadinejad is smarter than Barack Obama. I dont approve of Ahmadinejad, but our politicians all these guys in the Middle East culture, theyve had thousands of years of culture, okay? And theyre just playing us like idiots, even Obama. I mean, this thing with the nuclear programwere out-classed. Were out classed strategically thats my opinion, and I hope Im wrong my fear ALAN: Unfortunately, I dont think you are wrong. (Jagdish Mann, off-screen): Yes, youre not wrong. JACK: So, I mean were by the way, and Im gonna say this: by demonizing me and Josephson, they are making it easier for the Chinese to get ahead of us. ALAN: And there you may be closer to whats happening (regarding the Tuscan Controversy). JACK: And there we may be closer to whats happening. ALAN: Thank you for your time, Jack.

Chapter 6 The Divine Invasion: Did Wheelers IT Come From The Future BIT?
The late Fred Hoyle wrote in his book The Intelligent Universe11 perhaps not independently of Yakir Aharonovs 1964 paper?xxiv before Igor Novikov? before Roger Penrose? Loops in time At first sight, communication from future to past seems to lead to logical inconsistency. On the one hand, we have events behaving statistically according to the normal past-to-future time sense, the situation as most everyday situations are concerned. The less recognizable individual quantum events controlled from the future, as when we make up our minds to do one thing rather than another, can also have a major influence, however. These future to past situations are so subtle compared to something like a road accident that they tend to pass by us almost unnoticed. Can cause and effect work both ways in time? To avoid inconsistencies, both time senses must be linked into a consistent kind of loop. Cause and effect becomes a convenient description only in special situations involving localities in the universe, not the Universe as a whole.xxv

Roger Penrose made a remark in The Emperors New Mind12 that supports Fred Hoyles intuitive anticipation of Yakir Aharonovs mathematics of the back-from-the-future destiny vector13, limited though it is to signal locality. Suppose there is even something vaguely teleological about the effects of consciousness, so that a future impression might affect a past action. This is signal nonlocality in strong violation of quantum theory, but not of the more general post-quantum theory that seems to be the essential signature of living matter as distinguished from the dead particle beams of unitary S-Matrix theory that Gerardus t Hooft bases his theory of reality on. Einstein said to make theoretical physics as simple as possible, but not simpler than is possible. Roger Penroses argument is very similar to Einsteins 1935 argument on quantum entanglementxxvi with his younger colleagues Podolsky and Rosen. Einstein proved that an uncontrollable random faster-than-light (and/or backwards through time delayed choice) action at a distance must happen in order for Heisenbergs uncertainty principle to work at each end of an entangled pair of simple quantum systems (e.g. two qubit electron spins). Similarly, Penrose proved from actual brain experiments, that if we have conscious free will, and are not mere automatons reacting unconsciously to sudden life-threatening changes in our environment, then a future post-quantum mind state must influence a past material brain electrical state over a time scale of about 1 second. Indeed, this is why the second ~ 1044 Planck times was chosen as our unit of time a seemingly contingent artifact of our material evolution? Or are we the product of intentional design from a future designer creating itself? Igor Novikov wrote in The River of Time14 It is possible to imagine that using specially designed machinery, a human being could get into a special tunnel in which he moves backwards with respect to time in the external space, and emerges in the past when passing through the other mouth of this tunnel. the traveler through time does not get younger having sneaked into the past, he can find himself in his youth or

Oxford, Penguin 1989 p. 444 We set up a protocol at the beginning to randomly measure three different properties of a quantum system and ask for the conditional probability for the outcome of the intermediate measurement given particular outcomes of the past and future measurements. The quantum theory allows us to compute all the possibilities. Only in terms of the theory can we say that the future influenced the past intermediate measurement in this case. That is, there is no real signal nonlocality here. If there was, then the experimenter could know at the time of the intermediate measurement what the result of the future measurement was in each individual case. Such an arrangement has long been considered in actual experiments: consider a bubble chamber scattering experiment. The incoming particle interacts with a target and then evolves into various outgoing states. Typically, photographs are not taken for every targetinteraction, but only for certain ones that were triggered by subsequently interacting with detectors. In CM, there is (in principle) a one-to-one mapping between incoming states and outgoing states, whereas in QM, it is one-to-many. By selecting a single outcome for the post-selection-measurement, we define the pre-and-post-selected-ensemble that has no classical analog. -- Jeff Tollaksen (see endnotes) 14 Cambridge, 1998 Chs 14, 15

even before he was born [Kip] Thorne showed that to stabilize a tunnel, it must be filled with an unusual matter the anti-gravitation of this matter prevents the collapse of the tunnel There are two possibilities here, one is to amplify the small ambient random zero point fluctuations of the virtual light that is the dark energy in some way. The other is, perhaps, to make a very high Tc superconducting meta-material with negative index of refraction of nonrandom non-radiating near electromagnetic fields. If UFOs are real machines and not mass delusions then an advanced ET intelligence has figured out a way to make these stargatexxvii space-time tunnels. With the time machine becoming a reality, the future starts to affect the past. All events occur in such a way that this influence is taken into account. However, once an event has taken place (it was influenced by the events both in the past and the future), thats the end, it cannot be altered. (p.263) of the limitations imposed on free will a remark made by Einstein Schopenhauer once remarked: A man can do what he wishes but he is not free to wish what he wants. Indeed, Penrose gives several detailed examples to flesh out these limitations on our free will if our physical mind field is not retrocausal strongly violating the axioms of textbook quantum theory. We are all agreed that your theory is crazy. The question that divides us is whether it is crazy enough to have a chance of being correct. Said by Niels Bohr to Wolfgang Pauli after his presentation of Heisenberg's and Pauli's nonlinear field theory of elementary particles, at Columbia University (1958), as quoted in Symposium on Basic Research (1959) by Dael Lee Wolfle, p. 66 (Wikipedia) The basic idea of the Destiny Matrix, that our future influences our present that I have been professing since the 1970s is now becoming mainstream. For example, the FQ Foundation and Discover Magazine published in July 2010: The Destiny of the Universe A radical reformulation of quantum mechanics suggests that the universe has a set destiny and its pre-existing fate reaches back in time to influence the past. It could explain the origin of life, dark energy and solve other cosmic conundrums. The universe has a destinyand this set fate could be reaching backwards in time and combining with influences from the past to shape the present. Its a mind-bending claim, but some cosmologists now believe that a radical reformulation of quantum mechanics in which the future can affect the past could solve some of the universes biggest mysteries, including how life arose. Whats more, the researchers claim that recent lab experiments are dramatically confirming the concepts underpinning this reformulation.xxviii Its a very, very profound idea, says (Paul )Davies. (Yakir) Aharonovs take on quantum mechanics can explain all the usual results that the conventional interpretations can, but with the added bonus that it also explains away natures apparent indeterminism. Whats

73

more, a theory in which the future can influence the past may have hugeand much needed repercussions for our understanding of the universe, says Davies. Cosmologists studying the conditions of the early universe have been puzzling about why the cosmos seems so ideally suited for life. There are other mysteries too: Why is the expansion of the universe speeding up? What is the origin of the magnetic fields seen in galaxies? And why do some cosmic rays appear to have impossibly high energies? These questions cannot be answered just by looking at the past conditions of the universe. But perhaps, Davies ponders, if the cosmos has set final conditions in placea destinythen this, combined with the influence of the initial conditions set out at the beginning of the universe, might together perfectly explain these cosmic conundrums.xxix Paul Davies et-al are Johnny-come-latelys jumping on Fred Alan Wolfs and my bandwagon. Herbert Gold wrote in Bohemia (Simon & Schuster, 1993) One of his soaring theories is that things, which have not happened, yet can cause events in the presentObviously this has consequences for prediction, the nature of causality, our conceptions of logic - Herbert Gold describing my theory in his 1993 book Bohemia

The Initiation of The Hero With a Thousand Faces in Wagners Parsifal is more lightly done in Mozart's Magick Flute. The Hero's Quest is to understand time, creation and consciousness, to behold the Mind of God - The Omega Point. The upper triangle is our future paradise lost cosmological event horizon the lower is our past particle horizon.15 We can only go on the basis of evidence and the simplest theory that is consistent with the evidence. Unless we get signals from the future we cannot know if Einstein's Lambda will change or not. So far, all the evidence from our past light cone is that it has approached a constant relatively quickly. See Tamara Davis's 2004 PhD online. In particular see her Fig 5.1 on the time evolution of the area-entropy of our future observer-dependent horizon.

The area A of our pixelated future de Sitter 2D horizon hologram source is /\-1. From Tamara's Fig 5.1 A quickly rises from 1BIT to its asymptote 10123 BITs. The dark energy density /\ we 3D hologram images see in our past light cone come from the area A at the intersection of the past Type 1a supernovas source's future light cone with our future event horizon in a globally selfconsistent Novikov loop in time. The Feynman path amplitudes for time travel paradoxes vanish exactly a basic law of Nature? You can see this in Fig 1.1 c of Tamara's PhD where conformal time is plotted against co-moving distance. This is our best computer simulation of our cosmic destiny based on best data around 2004 or so. Of course that can change - anything may happen. ET's may land. An asteroid may wipe us out? The Madhi may return after a nuclear war in the Middle East? Only The Shadow knows.

Our 2D + 1 dark energy future event horizon hologram cosmic computer screen is, in Yakir Aharonovs terms post-selected by Destiny or Fate, whilst our past particle horizon is pre-selected by History all in a selfconsistent self-creating, but conscious, Novikov loop in time thats the key idea lurking here.

Craig Hogan at Fermilab is building an interferometer to try to measure the quantum noise in the gravity field.xxx This could detect our future horizon hologram 2D surface in another way. The first way was the detection of the dark energy accelerating the rate of expansion of our universe from anomalous redshifts in Type 1a supernovae. The idea that spacetime may not be entirely smooth like a digital image that becomes increasingly pixelated as you zoom in had been previously proposed by Stephen Hawking and others. Possible evidence for this model appeared last year in the unaccountable noise plaguing the GEO600 experiment in Germany, which searches for gravitational waves from black holes. To Hogan, the jitteriness suggested that the experiment had stumbled upon the lower limit of the spacetime pixels resolution. Black hole physics, in which space and time become compressed, provides a basis for math showing that the third dimension may not exist at all. In this twodimensional cartoon of a universe, what we perceive as a third dimension would actually be a projection of time intertwined with depth The holometers precision means that it doesnt have to be large; at 40 meters in length, it is only one hundredth of the size of current interferometers, which measure gravitational waves from black holes and supernovas. Yet because the spacetime frequencies it measures are so rapid, it will be more precise over very short time intervals by seven orders of magnitude than any atomic clock in existence.The shaking of spacetime occurs at a million times per second, a thousand times what your ear can hear, said Fermilab experimental physicist Aaron Chou, whose lab is developing prototypes for the holometer. Matter doesnt like to shake at that speed. You could listen to gravitational frequencies with headphones. The whole trick, Chou says, is to prove that the vibrations dont come from the instrument. Using technology similar to that in noise-cancelling headphones, sensors outside the instrument detect vibrations and shake the mirror at the same frequency to cancel them. Any remaining shakiness at high frequency, the researchers propose, will be evidence of blurriness in spacetime. With the holometers long arms, were magnifying spacetimes uncertainty, Chou said. Hogans team liked the holometer idea so much they decided to build two. One on top of the other, the machines can confirm one anothers measurements. Sara Reardon Symmetry Breaking Fermilab/SLAC Blog, Oct 20,2010 Quotes by Fred Hoyle16 "Many will smile if I say that such an incident was triggered by the deciphering of a cosmic signal. It will be agreed that a sudden reordering of substantial blocks of information in the brain must have been involved, but it will be said that the initiating signal happened by chance, from a random firing of neurons. ... The alternate view is that the deaf Beethoven, decisively cut-off from the distractions of the world of men, equipped as a terminal with unusual backing storage, was able to receive a particular component of the cosmic signals, and with sharply increasing clarity as the years passed by. This view would be my choice, but each of us must listen and decide. Perhaps the decision turns on whether we ourselves hear the thunder of Zeus on Mt. Olympus."

Thanks to Fred Alan Wolf for sending me this paper by Fred Holye July 23, 2010. It greatly influenced his 1980s book Star Wave that pre-dates Yakir Aharonovs Destiny/History extension of quantum theory. Roughly speaking Destiny is the advanced influence of our future event horizon boundary condition on the Present, whilst History is the retarded influence of our past particle horizon boundary condition on the Present. The Present is the intermediate weak measurement.

Fred Alan Wolf and I were on a similar track at San Diego State at approximately the same time.xxxii The initial local system does not have deterministic reality because the systems in its future with which it interacts do not have deterministic reality, and this is because the systems in the further future with which the second systems interact do not have deterministic reality, and so on along an infinite chain of interactions. Yet somewhere the Gordian knot has to be cut - it must be, since our everyday experience tells us that it is! The mathematical loophole lies at the limitof the infinite chain of interactions. Obviously the buck stops at our future dark energy de Sitter event horizon that cuts the Gordian knot. Hoyle came to UCSD when I was there in the late 60's before he really had this idea matured - did I.J. Good get it from Hoyle or the other way round? Obviously, they knew each other. "This was the stage of my thinking following the work of the 1964-70 period, before it became apparent, from the arguments given earlier, than an enormous intelligence must be abroad in the Universe. As the Americans say, this instantly creates a new ball game. ...the persistent religious conviction that the pattern of our lives is stored in the future looks as if it could quite well be correct." That's the future hologram right there! Hoyles last trumpet is our future cosmological event horizon, Teilhard de Chardins Omega Point Noosphere aka Hawkings Mind of God. "At the mathematical limit discussed above. At the last trumpet! What an extraordinary way to describe the outcome of a sequence of arguments involving the condensation of the wavefunction, the need to avoid von Neumanns mathematical result for finite systems, and time-symmetric electrodynamics. Of course one can argue that the correspondences are fortuitous. Notice, however, that in time symmetric theory influences are indeed felt in (less than) a moment, in (even less than) the twinkling of an eye, and that all finite events are brought together at the mathematical limit in the future. Fortuitous or not, it is curious that so many people without scientific knowledge have believed in the idea, as if they had caught a glimpse of a difficult message which they could only express in terms of an everyday analogy. Religion is an interesting but not really convincing example of the computer terminal idea.

John Walker in a review of a book by former ISSO physicist Bernard Haischxxxiv wrote that he argues that the militant atheists who have recently argued that science is incompatible with belief in a Creator are mistaken and that, to the contrary, recent scientific results are not only compatible with, but evidence for, the intelligent design of the laws of physics and the initial conditions of the universe. This is not one of those mushy science and religion can coexist books. It is an exploration, by a serious scientist who has thought deeply about these matters, of why evidence derived entirely from science is pointing those with minds sufficiently open to entertain the idea, that the possibility of our universe having been deliberately created by a conscious intelligence who endowed it with the properties that permit it to produce its own expanding consciousness is no more absurd that the hypotheses favoured by those who reject that explanation, and is entirely compatible with recent experimental results, which are difficult in the extreme to explain in any other manner.

"However, physics would be fundamentally different. If we break the uncertainty principle, there is really no telling what our world would look like." I announce the conjecture: Nature is as weird as it can be. The nonlocal action principle of maximal weirdness, e.g. consciousness requires signal nonlocality strongly violating quantum mechanics.

The medal was for the very same idea I present in this book developed independently without Aharonov that the future influences the present perhaps even more powerfully than does the past. However, Yakir avoids the real revolution, which is

Yakir is like Moses with me like Joshua - the wall of light will come tumbling down when we cross the Great Divide.19 :-) The radical conservative physicist pushes the envelope of mainstream battle-tested physics by minimally tweaking the control parameters and suggesting new ones. The extended models must always have the orthodox physics as a limiting case. This is in contrast to the numerous clueless cranks and/or well-meaning eccentrics who have not mastered mainstream models try to reinvent the wheel, and fix what is not broken based on not even wrong-primitive-concepts of no scientific meaning in any operational empirical laboratory sense. Feynman called that "Cargo Cult Science."

sides of the same coin. The idea of collapse of the quantum state in a measurement is invoked to avoid the conflict. The entropy increase is swept under the rug in the non-unitary collapse. Information is then only conserved between measurements on a closed system. This is not good enough because living matter is an open system continually being measured as well as pumped with energy flux. Our accelerating expanding observable universe sandwiched between past and future horizons, is also not closed for the matter fields that are pumped by the geometro dynamical fields. Linear unitarity is used to prove the no-cloning a quantum theorem that precludes the use of entanglement as a stand alone communication channel not requiring a classical signal key to unlock the delocalized entangled message. Abner Shimony has called this passion at a distance and others call it signal locality. Quantum cryptography is built upon the quicksand of signal locality. Even Yakir Aharonovs post-selected back-from-the-future flow of time assumes signal locality as does John Cramers transaction based on WheelerFeynmans classical retrocausality-without-retrocausality future total absorber. The fly in the ointment are the presponse experiments of Ben Libet independently replicated by Dean Radin, Dick Bierman, Daryl Bem and by the controversial Puthoff and Targ in their CIA precognitive remote viewing tests of the Chinese nuclear weapons program. Indeed, there is more data here than there is for string theory. Josephson and Pallikari and independently myself have suggested theoretical explanations for signal nonlocality at the Tucson conferences in the mid-90s as has Antony Valentini more recently since 2002. If we are post-selected back from the future hologram images from our future event horizon then the cosmic computer on the horizon must be conscious. In that sense, as in Teilhard de Chardin's Omega Point consciousness is the substrate of material reality. xxxvii

New studies show people can anticipate future events. It was as if, while participants were categorizing the photo, their brain knew what word was coming next and this facilitated their decision. Dr. (Daryl J.) Bem's (Cornell) work is thought provoking, and like good cuttingedge science is supposed to do, it offers more questions than answers. If we suspend our beliefs about time and accept that the brain is capable of reaching into the future, the next question becomes how does it do this? Published on October 11, 2010 Psychology Todayxxxviii The answer in brief is post-quantum signal nonlocality SNL in non-equilibrium open dissipative structures with suitably sensory motor functionality. Bems abstract reads: The term psi denotes anomalous processes of information or energy transfer that are currently unexplained in terms of known physical or biological mechanisms. Two variants of psi are precognition (conscious cognitive awareness) and premonition (affective apprehension) of a future event that could not otherwise be anticipated through any known inferential process. Precognition and premonition are themselves special cases of a more general phenomenon: the anomalous retroactive influence of some future event on an individuals current responses, whether those responses are conscious or nonconscious, cognitive or affective. This article reports 9 experiments, involving more than 1,000 participants, that test for retroactive influence by time- reversing well-established psychological effects so that the individuals responses are obtained before the putatively causal stimulus events occur. Data are presented for 4 timereversed effects: precognitive approach to erotic stimuli and precognitive avoidance of negative stimuli; retroactive priming; retroactive habituation; and retroactive facilitation of recall. The mean effect size (d) in psi performance across all 9 experiments was 0.22, and all but one of them yielded statistically significant results. The individual-difference variable of stimulus seeking, a component of extraversion, was significantly correlated with psi performance in 5 of the experiments, with participants who scored above the midpoint on a scale of stimulus seeking achieving a mean effect size of 0.43. Skepticism about psi, issues of replication, and theories of psi are also discussed. Of course we need to understand what is meant by mean effect size. Its not a simple concept and trying to explain it is too far beyond the scope of this book. So this is homework for the reader. When you figure it out let me know. Fred Alan Wolfs essay starts here: Professor Jack Sarfatti asked me to provide an account of my contribution to what we may call acausality as it occurs in quantum physics. My first inklings about this subject occurred in 1983 when in preparing my book21 Star*Wave for publication, I read John Cramers interesting paper22 on the subject of backwards-through-time quantum wave function, u* acting

as a modulation of the normal forward-through-time time quantum wave function u in standard nonrelativistic quantum physics. Cramers account was a new way to interpret quantum physics and gave a plausible reason for calculating probabilities from the multiplication of u by u*. In Cramers account the forward-through-time u was considered as an offer wave initiating at a point i where an event had occurred. The backwards-through-time u* was likewise an echo wave initiated by a final event f traveling backwards-through-time to the offer event and thus completing a cycle. What was in my mind, at that time, incomplete in Cramers account was that even though this gave the correct mathematical calculation of the probability in quantum physics describing the probable causal connection between i and f, it in no way described how the sequence i to f was made into an actual pairing of two real events. If for example there were two possible final events f1 and f2 one would have both probabilities i to f1 and i to f2 to take into account without actually knowing which final event f1 or f2 actually occurred. It seemed to me at the time that one should know what takes place if both the initial and final events are determined. This led me to further investigate the connection between human consciousness and quantum physical probabilities. Consequently when I finished writing Star*Wave I had included a discussion of Cramers transactional interpretation (TI) as outlined in his paper as a possible mechanism for the way the mind works in relation to the brain. A few years later I published The Body Quantum. 23 In chapter 25 I once again looked into the transactional interpretation. I wrote: Whenever atoms are arranged in a highly repetitive pattern, such as those found in crystals or in the long strands of molecular DNA, the quantum wave functions also take on a similar pattern. This pattern constitutes a continual kind of observation in which the quantum wave function, in a sense, is observing itself over and over again. Quantum waves and quantum wave functions can be imagined as constrained by such a pattern, which, in fact, gives the structure its stability. The quantum wave function, in my view, turns on and off through the observer effect. When an observations occurs, the quantum wave function pops, and a pointlike atom, or part of an atom, is manifested for an instant. When no observation takes place, the quantum wave function hangs around, like a ghost, in the same locale in which it first popped. This sequence is highly reinforced by the repeating structure. To try to imagine this concept is difficult because there are many atoms involved. The quantum wave functions, as I imagine it, are resonating with the structure of the molecules, so that each quantum wave function turns on and off with many oscillations. From the solid molecules point of view, this corresponds to its own self-observation. This viewpoint can be contrasted with a single atoms self-observation: It, too, can be thought of as being in a self-observation pattern, wherein its quantum wave function turns on and off. But being an isolated atom means that the pattern will display a higher degree of

randomness. At the atomic level, this pattern appears as the atom itself, vanishing and reappearing in a sequence of random points, blurring, more or less, into a solid object. Thus, each quantum wave function pattern is highly specific to the element it represents. A quantum wave function for the hydrogen atom is quite different in, detail from the quantum wave function of a carbon atom. When a sugar-phosphate molecule repeats itself as an endless chain of snakelike strands, winding around each other much like a spiral staircase, an infinite hall-of-mirrors effect manifests itself, allowing the living, conscious molecule to appear. I am describing, of course, the molecule of genetic life, deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA. The second idea is even stranger and more speculative. There are actually two quantum wave functions involved in a quantum wave function pop, the second of which, the star quantum wave function or star wave (as I referred to it in my previous book24), is similar in form to the ordinary quantum wave function, only orientated backward in space-time. Thus, an ordinary quantum wave function, u, moving from here-now to there-then, is met by a star quantum wave function, u*, from the there-then moving toward the here-now. These quantum wave functions multiply together, yielding the product u*u; that is, u* multiplying u. Now, it is not speculation that one must multiply ordinary quantum wave function u by its star quantum wave function u* in order to calculate the relative probability that quantum wave function events will occur; that is exactly what quantum physicists do when they determine the likelihood that any event will occur. The speculation surrounds the idea that u* comes from the future, traveling backward through time, much like the wave that, bouncing off the shore, travels back toward the source of the wave. I wasnt able justify this idea by any physical experiment, at least not at that time. I believed this idea is important because it could explain how the evolution of anything can take place. My idea is similar to those that Sir Fred Hoyle discusses in his book The Intelligent Universe.25 Merely left to the odds, it is extremely unlikely that anything as orderly as a human being would arise at all simply from random processes. As I explained in Chapter 11, of the body quantum there needs to be some form of intelligence involved. But the question is, how does that intelligence act? Of course, I could just postulate that there is a Supreme Intelligence and that this being can act in any way that it sees fit. As Niels Bohr once remarked to Albert Einstein, when he was trying to figure out how God did it, Stop telling God what to do. I certainly dont want to do that! But I do want to know how God does it. Yet, as a physicist, I am somewhat constrained: I cant postulate just any idea, because a scientific idea, in order to be considered valid, must fit with what we already know (or, at least, think we know). The idea that W* comes from the future may just save the day, however. As Hoyle puts it: If events could operate not only from past to future, but also from future to past, the seemingly intractable problem of quantum uncertainty could be solved. Instead of living matter becoming more and more disorganized, it could react to quantum signals from the futurethe information necessary for the development of life. Instead of the Universe committed to increasing disorder and decay, the opposite could then be true. (Hoyle, p. 213.)

In a highly organized material containing repeating patterns, the u*u content becomes highly repetitive, producing a probability pattern of reinforced strength. Thus, crystals of repeating materials, such as sodium chloride, carbon lattices (such as diamond), and other single crystals of metals and metals in combinations with other substances, possess great strength or other unusual properties. In DNA we have a similar phenomenon of great repetition, with complex patterns of sugar-phosphate backbones interrupted by the much longer, seemingly random steps of base pairs linked :together in complementary codes. These bases, youll recall, occur four types: A, C, G, T. Here a third idea surfaces: Because of the repetition of the DNA structure, the likelihood of a repeating u*u pattern is highly enhanced, with the u* involved propagating from a near future to the present. The signal from the future is more or less the same as that from the past, and the pattern, consequently, tends toward stability. The more stable the pattern, the less likely that the distant future will disturb it. Again, the idea that there exists a resonance between the quantum wave function and its structureinvolving both the past and the futureis at play here. Signals from the distant future do arrive, however; without them, DNA would never alter its patterns. But the more stable the reinforcement brought on by the repetition of the strand, the smaller the disturbance produced. It is the interplay of the endless crystalline repetition of the DNA strands, twisting in space and dancing in time as vibrations with the almost though not quite random patterns of A, C, G, and T bases, that produces stable animal and plant consciousness. Consciousness, as we commonly experience it, thereby emerges as a consequence of the quantum wave function vibration patterns associated with DNA vibration patterns repeating and resonating with both the future and the past. Molecules of DNA within shouting distance of each other also vibrate, sending quantum semaphore messages back and forth, and in this manner a resonance arises between neighboring molecules. This resonance is much like any other resonance phenomenon, such as a buildings vibrations in the wind or the rolling of a ship on the high seas. With energy being fed from one molecule to the other at just the right frequency to induce the other molecule to respond, the two resonate together. It is this resonance of waves in different cells that could result in the healing of the cells. Illness could result from an opposite effect. When molecules are off-resonance, they fail to communicate with each other; such off-resonance could arise from atomic changes in the molecules or from subtle changes in the probability patterns of the quantum wave functions, possibly brought on by negative thinking. Influenced by such thinking, perhaps molecules tend to isolate themselves, forming self-contained units of limited capacity. Such molecular isolation can be understood in terms of our own behavior when we feel depressed or unduly anxious about something, and want to be alone in our misery. Consequently, illness and negative thinking could create molecular islands of separation within our cells. Healing energy counters this separation tendency by fostering correlations between molecules: One molecule heals another.

A few years later I looked once again at this issue acausality in my paper published in the Journal of Theoretical Biology26 entitled On the Quantum Physical Theory of Subjective Antedating. In this paper I was still wondering how quantum physical probabilities were related to conscious human experience and I found a possible relationship. In brief: a single conscious instant requires in the physical brain both the occurrence of a past and a future event. In this paper I explained if as follows: Assuming that neuronal adequacy and experience were one and the same, Libet (1985)27 pointed out the obvious discrepancy between the time of the experience of an eventthe subjective referraland the time of neuronal adequacy required to experience the event. I suggested an alternative proposal. Neuronal adequacy and subjective experience were not one and the same events. Neither were peripheral stimulation and subjective experience one and the same events, even though they seemed to be. The truth actually lies somewhere in-between. Both the stimulation and neuronal adequacy (two events) are needed for the conscious (one event) experience, even though the time of that experience is referred back to the peripheral sensation. This proposal was based on ideas put forward in my Star*Wave book (1984) and upon the new TI of quantum mechanics stated by Cramer (1983, 1986). According to the TI, a future event and a present event are involved in a transaction wherein a real quantum wave of probability (retarded wave), u, called the offer wave, issues from the present event to the future event. The future event is then stimulated to send back through time an echo wave (advanced wave), u*, towards the present event. The echo wave is the complex conjugate of the offer wave. According to the rules of quantum mechanics, the probability distribution (probability per unit volume) for an event to occur, is given by u*u. However, no other interpretation explains how this product arises physically. Following the TI, the echo wave modulates the offer wave thus producing the required u*u probability pattern. Thus, it is necessary for future events to influence present or past events by sending back into time a corresponding echo wave, u*, following an offer wave, u, from the present or past. Specifically, the echo wave contains the complex conjugate reflection of the offer wave multiplying the offer wave in much the same manner as an audio wave modulates a high frequency carrier signal in radio broadcasting. The probability, u*u, which then results in a probability for a transactiona correlation between the two eventsarises as a probability field at the initial event. The events in question (stimulation and neuronal adequacy) are time-like separated. Thus, according to the theory of relativity, there is no way that these two events could be ever be simultaneously observable as was postulated by Snyder. Hence his attempt to resolve the paradox was not tenable.28 However, the fact that the observer of those events sees them as simultaneous means that his mind acts as a kind of time machine. That is, the experience of the event is projected back in time towards the occurrence of the sensation.

Libet had suggested that this may be an illusion, that the real recognition of the event only occurred later at the time of neuronal adequacy and that the subject subjectively and mistakenly remembered the event as having occurred earlier. Whether or not this is an illusion is at present not experimentally testable. In any case, one must wonder why subjects believe that their knowledge or recognition of an event is a simultaneous occurrence with the event if indeed the knowing and the stimulation are time-like separated. I believed this backwards-in-time projection between a neural event and a stimulus can be consistently accounted for using the TI of quantum mechanics. In this case, the present event (the peripheral sensation), S, sends a forward-through-time probability offer wave to a future event (neuronal adequacy), N. Most likely, N lies on the area of the cortex normally associated with the sensation. The future event, N, sends a backwards-through-time probability echo wave to the present event, S. According to the TI, the S to N offer wave stimulates the N to S echo wave. The N to S echo wave then carries a replica of the S to N offer wave back towards the original stimulation. The N to S echo wave arriving at the location of the source, S, is the probability for the correlation of the events. If the two waves resonate, meaning that the probability for the S to N correlation is large, then a significant probability for the two events is achieved. In this manner, that which is significantly measurablehas the largest probabilityis also that which is brought to conscious awareness. In my view then, all possible future events are in contact with a present event, however, the most probable future events are those that produce the largest value of u*u, and consequently constitute an event in consciousness. I offered the hypothesis that whenever two events are so correlated, i.e., the probability for the events is not a priori zero, they will be experienced as one and the same event. I suggested that this means, in general, that any two quantum physically correlated events separated in time or space will constitute a single experience. Upon further thought I realized that although Cramers hypothesis took care of providing a probability distribution surrounding in spacetime the offer event it still did not account for which final event corresponded to human experience. Years later in 1998 I looked farther into the work of Libet and his co-workers.29 Aharonov and his coworkers had been working on a scheme to represent quantum physics in terms of two-time quantum wave functionsthat is one not only specified the initial condition of the quantum wave function but also its final state as well. Consequently I based my new work on the work of Aharonov and his co-workers. I wrote the introduction and conclusion of the paper as follows: I offer a quantum physical resolution similar to that of the Wheeler delayed choice experiment in quantum physics of the delay-and-antedating hypothesis/paradox put forward by Libet et al. (1979) to explain certain temporal anomalies associated with passive perception. I propose a model wherein two neural events cause backward-through-time and forward-throughtime neurological signaling in accordance with wave function collapse in the intervening spacetime interval. Pairs of causality-violating events must occur in the brain in order that a single experience in consciousness occurs. The model offers a first step towards the development of a quantum physical theory of subjective awareness and suggests that biological systems evolve and continue to function in accordance with a causality-violating, two-valued, transactional model of

quantum mechanics. The model makes a new prediction about the timings of passive bodily sensory experiences and imagined or phantom sensory experiences. The predictions of the model are compared with experimental data indicating agreement and new experiments are proposed testing the model. In his recent book Penrose (1989)30 poses the paradox of the relationship of awareness and physical events that elicit it as follows, Is there really an actual time at which a conscious experience does take place, where that particular time of experience must precede the time of any effect of a free-willed response to that experience?... If consciousness... cannot be understood... without...quantum theory then it might... be... that... our conclusions about causality, non-locality, and contrafactuality are incorrect. Penrose believed that there are reasons for being suspicious of our physical notions of time in relation to physics whenever quantum non-locality and contrafactuality are involved. I would add that the same thing must be said with regard to consciousness. He suggests that if, in some manifestation of consciousness, classical reasoning about the temporal ordering of events leads us to a contradictory conclusion, then this is strong indication that quantum actions are indeed at work! In this paper I examined a quantum theory of the relationship between the awareness of timings of events and their corresponding physical correlates and showed that indeed not only are quantum actions at work, they are indispensable in explaining the temporal paradoxes inherent in the phenomena. I concluded my article (1998) with these comments: When it comes to time in physics, we are somewhat at a loss. All of our equations are unique in one very real sense, there is no specific order to the sequences of events we label as the passage of time. Both Newtonian physics and quantum physics share this apparent fault in disagreement with our common sense experiences. We could just as well write equations and set up appropriate spatial and temporal boundary conditions of retrodiction in place of prediction and feel equally satisfied that we had the correct equations. Indeed, if we do simple enough experiments we find that retrodicting is as good as predicting when it comes to determining what shall be happening in the next sequence of events either following or preceding. In life, with all of its complexity and its ultimate human measure, time marches on. Fallen cracked eggs do not jump off the floor into our outstretched hands. Dead loved ones do not reconstitute themselves and resurrect. We grow older each day not younger. How are we to ever explain this scientifically and fundamentally? It would seem that we are missing something essential when it comes to time. Two bits of data we know. Conscious experience of events and the Second Law of Thermodynamics. The first bit is subjective in its context while the second is purely objective. We certainly know that we can think a thought, write a sentence, and find the words are uniquely time ordered. We certainly know of the fact that hot bodies cool down and cold bodies warm up. Is there some connection between these data bits? So far we have no theory that connects them. While much as been done in the objective arena to connect thermodynamics and statistical mechanics to quantum mechanics, even some

remarkably clever insights, we still do not have a fundamental theory connecting them. Given Plancks constant, the speed of light, the gravitational constant, and the mass of any particle you wish to mention, we cannot derive Boltzmanns remarkable constant of nature. In the world of subjective experience very little has been done by physicists and for probably very good reason; no one knows what to do, what to measure, or even if it is ethical to perform such measurements (usually involving the human brain) even if we knew what we were looking for. Here Libets remarkable experiments need special mention. At least in them we are provided with a clue concerning subjective time order. Perhaps there is something fundamental in the notion that our equations are not time order unique and the theory given here that according to subjective experience we need two or more separate events to have a single perception. Perhaps this theory that a perceived event requires information flowing from end points coming before it and after it, much like a stringed musical instrument requires information coming from its nodal end points to set up standing wave patterns of musical harmony, is a fundamental requirement for both time order uniqueness and subjective experience. It would seem to me that now we need to look toward altering our concept of time in some manner, not that this is an easy thing to do. Perhaps we should begin with the idea that a single event in time is really as meaningless as a single event in space or a single velocity. Meaningful relation arises as a correspondence, a relationship with some reference object. Hence an objects velocity is meaningfully measurable with respect to another objects velocity as the relative velocity between them. In a similar manner as I point out in this paper, the timing of an event is also only meaningful in reference to another timing event. When the end points or reference times for the events are not specified, then only the relative interval becomes relevant. When that interval lies within the limitation of quantum uncertainty, the event referred to within the interval must also lie within that uncertainty. Failure to note this leads to apparent timing paradoxes. The resolution of temporal paradoxes particularly as they show themselves in future quantum physical objective experiments and in subjective timing experiments will continue to require a new vision of time. Perhaps this paper will assist us in our search for a new theory of time. According to Aharonov: Until now we have limited ourselves to the possibility of two boundary conditions which obtain their assignment due to selections made before and after a measurement. It is feasible and even suggestive to consider an extension of quantum mechanics to include both a wavefunction arriving from the past and a second destiny wavefunction coming from the future which are determined by two boundary conditions, rather than a measurement and selection. This proposal could solve the issue of the collapse of the wavefunction in a new and more natural way: every time a measurement takes place and the possible measurement outcomes decohere, then the future boundary condition simply selects one out of many possible outcomes. It also implies a kind of teleology which might prove fruitful in addressing the anthropic and fine tuning issues. The possibility of a final boundary condition on the universe could be probed experimentally by searching for quantum miracles on a cosmological scale. While a classical miracle is a rare event that can be explained by a very unusual initial boundary-condition, Quantum Miracles are those events which cannot naturally be explained through any special initial boundary-

89

condition, only through initial-and-final boundary-conditions. By way of example, destiny-postselection could be used to create the right dark energy or the right negative pressure. 31 Conclusion I am of course pleased to see Aharonovs conclusion. I originated the idea in terms of brain function in my earlier publications and it is the analysis of the problem as carried out by Aharonov and his colleagues on weak measurement theory and two-time quantum physics that makes the theory feasible.32 Although we have known for perhaps close to 100 years that quantum physics really cannot be put into a mathematical logical format without realizing that the basic structure of quantum physics is probability theory, the relation between probabilities and physical events, although clear in quantum physics theory, is still fraught with many misunderstanding and needless philosophical meanderings. The main culprit in all of this is the rather dogmatic insistence on temporal causality being a fundamental cornerstone of any physical theory. As time marches on into the next 100 years of quantum physics history, we are beginning to see that causality is not in lockstep with temporal sequenceevents that havent happened yet do and will have an effect on events that are happening right now. We are not surprised that events that have occurred in the pastno matter how distant or close to the present momentcan and do affect the present. Even though logically the past is no more present than is the future, we might take it for granted that putting causality in lockstep with only a past to present one way flow relationship is merely an old prejudice, one that we have accepted for perhaps thousands of years and most likely caused by our human survival instincts and desire to have a rational universe. In order to reach any logical form of causality within the range and environment of quantum physics thinking, it has become apparent that both events in the future and past do have a determining effect on the present. In essence the seemingly magical complex arithmetic of quantum physical calculations become real measureable predictions of the probabilities of events only when we are allowed to run the flows in both directionsfrom future to present and from past to present simultaneously, so to speak. It takes two events to make one conscious experience. This appears to be the direction we are taking to finally realize how mind and quantum physical reality relate, if they have any relationship at all.

31

This is consistent with my future hologram computer idea whose reciprocal area-entropy is the past dark energy density.

Chapter 8 Looking Back at the 2002 first edition

This book is what I wanted Space-Time and Beyond to be back in 1974 in Paris with Fred Alan Wolf and Bob Toben when we met the 84 year old Cabalist Carlo Suares.xxxix Carlo put us on the Grail Quest to smash the wall of lightxl and to decode the Cipher of Genesis. Brendan OReganxli and George Koopmanxlii asked us to think about the connections of consciousness to gravityxliii and how advanced aliens not from this planet could use that connection in flying saucers. xliv Of course, we did not know nearly enough back then to even formulate the problems properly. Today in 2002 we do. Thats what this book is about. To play this Glass Bead Gamexlv, each of you must put 2 + 2 together and connect the dots. Tally Ho!

Bohms intrinsically mental field (quantum potential Q) on a material sub-system of our neuronal cortical module-membrane ion channel-microtubule- protein dimer-SET-ATP-DNARNA non-equilibrium biological networks. The other hand symbolizes the direct back-reaction of the key matter hidden variables back on their guiding Q. The two together, action with reaction form an emergent self-organizing creative feedback loop. The imprinting of the material sensory signals back on the intrinsically mental Q*-field are our internal conscious experiences called qualia.34 Ordinary quantum physics is only the one way relation of one hand clapping. Consequently, there is no such thing as quantum consciousness. There is only post-quantum consciousness. This is the generalized relativity principle of action-reaction that can be summarized as: It takes two to tango! John Archibald Wheelerxlvi says that matter gets its marching orders from spacetime geometrys grip. Matter grips back on spacetime geometry to bend it into gravity. David Bohmxlvii says that matter also gets its marching orders from the grip of a quantum bit pilot field of active information. Unlike the two-way action-reaction relation between spacetime and matter, the relation between active information and matter must be one-way in order to preserve that uncontrollable local quantum randomness that prevents using nonlocal quantum connections as a faster-than-light and even backwards through time communication channel. That is, active information grips matter, but not vice-versa, in the quantum physics seen in laboratories. This seems strange. What happens if special conditions arise in which sufficiently complex forms of matter do directly grip back on their pilot fields? It is my conjecture that consciousness is what happens in those fields of active quantum information. This is one of the key themes of this book.xlviii PARTICLE IT MATTER & SPACETIME FLESH WAVE BIT MIND WORD

Q is for ordinary quantum theory without direct back-reaction. Q* symbolizes the additional back-reaction with signal-nonlocality violating quantum theory. Signal-nonlocality means that entanglement can be used as a direct communication channel violating ordinary ideas of past cause/future effect.

Flying Saucer Physics: Covert Black Ops, Zero Point Energy, Anti-Gravity? We disagree with those who say that US covert Black Ops36 has well understood extra terrestrial technology on zero point energy and anti-gravity37 on the shelf under wraps. It is only in the past few years that the relevant concepts for these notions have been formulated. They were definitely not known before then. Theoretical physicists like to play with gedankenexperiments38. Thats how I will treat flying saucers, which many qualified people do believe are real.39 Suppose, for the sake of argument as a working hypothesis, that they are real. How do they work?40 This is another key theme of this book. We allegedly see flying saucers accelerating to beyond the speed of sound in the atmosphere with no shock waves. How can that happen? We allegedly see right angle turns and sudden reversals of direction of motion. How can that happen without gforces that would kill the crew and break apart the metallic saucer? Does first question demand the extra space dimensions of hyperspace? Hyperspace Kaluza and Klein introduced the idea of hyperspace in the 1920s in order to explain electromagnetism in the same terms as Einsteins geometrodynamic explanation of gravity. Einstein had explained gravity by his deep insight of genius by locally eliminating it! Physics is simple when it is local, i.e. in a small region of space and time. Although Galileo knew that all

Legendary, perhaps mythical, super secret US military laboratories staffed by Dr. Strangeloves. Stephen Schwartz, an expert in Soviet disinformation working on the KGB Venona File, says that the Majestic 12 documents are forgeries in the same category as the Nazi Protocols of the Elders of Zion still very popular in the Middle East made into a disgusting TV series and portrayed as fact in a resurgence of anti-Semitism in the 21st Century. The Protocols were actually fiction composed by the Czars Secret Police. I classify the urban legend of these Black Ops DOE UFO labs as paranoid schizophrenic delusions like those alleged of John Nash in the movie version. The UFO Disclosure group has used this myth politically to vaguely protest space weapons. 37 Antigravity happens when Einsteins local cosmological Lambda field is positive. Details can be found online in http://stardrive.org/Jack/Physics101.pdf & http://stardrive. org/Jack/Cosmo1.pdf 38 Literally thought experiments 39 NIDS at http://www.nidsci.org/ and Bruce Maccabee at http://brumac.8k.com/. See also Brother Blue on the Occult & UFOs at http://www.noveltynet.org/content/ paranormal/www.brotherblue.org/ 40 Artificially constructed metamaterials are being made with both negative electrical permittivity and negative magnetic permeability in finite frequency and wave vector bandwidths. Therefore, the non-radiative near electromagnetic fields trapped inside them will make an antigravitating repulsive field that, in principle, can be used as propellantless propulsion and for a weightless geodesic warp drive. The problem, however, is that the effect is much too weak to be practical and even measurable. The speed of light in short-lived atomic Bose-Einstein condensates can be slowed down indeed even stopped cold corresponding to an infinite index of refraction. This is the clue, I suspect, to how the alleged alien ET saucers that allegedly neutralize our nuclear deterrent, really work. The weak coupling of stress energy density to induced gravity curvature can, perhaps, be corrected by developing a very high Tc superconducting metamaterial with a negative index of refraction of ten billion or so compared to the usual number of order one. According to Einsteins General Theory of Relativity, this should amplify the effective coupling of applied on-board power of the warp drive engine by the fourth power of the huge index of refraction. As this book goes to press I am having a debate on this with Professsor James Woodward (Cal State). A similar effect is predicted in 1-atom thick sheets of graphene (carbon atoms in a hexagonal lattice) where the effective index of refraction is 300 for the coupling of the dressed electron quasi-particles with light. What we need is a nonlinear optical effect giving a a huge negative electrostatic DC polarizability. Then a static voltage in an anyonic graphenebased meta-material superconductor should generate an anti-gravity field. However, we dont know yet how to actually make such a hypothetical wonder material. Presumably the men in the flying saucers know how.

objects fall with the same acceleration in a vacuum41, the full meaning of this was not understood until Einstein read about a painter falling off his ladder who said he did not feel any weight. Einstein called this the happiest moment of his life because it led him to the modern understanding of the equivalence principle that special relativity works for regions of spacetime small compared to the locally varying radii of curvature. Curvature is the reciprocal of the square of the radii of curvature. Unlike the electromagnetic, weak and strong forces, Newtons gravity force can be locally eliminated to a very good approximation over sufficiently small regions of space for sufficiently small intervals of time in a class of Local Inertial Frames (LIF) or free float framesthat move along timelike geodesics. Therefore, attempts to unify gravity with the other forces may be confused a pseudo-problem a category error. 42 Objects in these frames of reference are weightless. The astronauts floating around inside in the Space Shuttle orbiting the Earth with rocket engines off are in an LIF. Our daily lives on the surface of the Earth, in which we feel weight,43 are in Local Non-Inertial Frames (LNIF). We must accelerate in curved spacetime in order not to move relative to the energy source of the curvature. This is very counter-intuitive. If we are inside the event horizon surface of a nonrotating black hole nothing can stop us from getting crushed out of existence. There are no LNIFs inside the black hole. Einstein showed that Newtons idea of gravity force acting at a distance was too crude a picture for the physical reality of spacetime. Electrically neutral objects that appear to be accelerating in a gravity force field are, in reality, moving in free float, along the straightest line possible in a curved 4-dimensional spacetime. This straightest possible world line in curved spacetime is called a timelike geodesic.44 Timelike45 means that the object moves slower than the speed of classical light 186,000 miles per second in a classical vacuum. The idea of Kaluza and Klein was that electrically charged particles move along the straightest lines possible in a 5-dim spacetime with 4 space dimensions.46 This was the first hyperspace theory beyond spacetime.47 Ok, so now back to flying saucers. How come there are no shock waves in breaking the sound barrier? Can energy be sucked into the extra dimensions of hyperspace in a cloak effect like in Star Trek? How can the metallic flying saucer out dog fight48 any fighter jet we can put into the air? This suggests that the flying saucer is able to generate its

To a good approximation ignoring a correction from special relativity that is normally too small to detect A category mistake, or category error, is a semantic or ontological error by which a property is ascribed to a thing that could not possibly have that property. Wickedpedia Files 43 Weight (loosely speaking inertia) comes from the electrical reaction forces between our bodies and the surface of the Earth. Although the idea of force is eliminated in geometrodynamics, it is still a useful idea in many situations so long as we understand its limited domain of validity. All ideas in physics are approximate with limited domains of validity. This may come from Godels incompleteness theorem of 1931 that any sufficiently complex consistent scheme of thought must be incomplete, i.e. with true statements that cannot be proved within the scheme. 44 A straight line geodesic in 4 spacetime dimensions can be a closed elliptical orbit when projected down into ordinary 3 dimensional space. Indeed, this is true for the motion of the Earth around the Sun and for the motion of the Moon around the Earth, indeed for the motion of all the planets around the Sun, for the motions of stars around black holes like the strong X-ray emitter Sco X-1 indeed for everything classical. 45 The timelike geodesic connecting two events has the longest experienced proper time than any neighboring path close to it that passes through the same two events. This is an example of the action principle from the calculus of variations that is universal in all of theoretical physics. 46 A straight line geodesic in hyperspace is not a straightest path in lower dimensional spacetime anymore than the 4-dim spacetime geodesic is the straightest path in lower dimensional 3-dim space. 47 As Saul-Paul points out, Einsteins special relativity of 1905 is a hyperspace theory beyond Newtons absolute 3-dim space. 48 Hairpin curves at thousands of mph that would normally have enormous g-forces.

own free float timelike geodesic so that everything inside the machine is weightless. We also need to have very small Weyl stretch-squeeze tidal forces unlike the strong ones that rip you apart if you are unfortunate enough to fall into a black hole49 to the singularity where spacetime is broken up into random quantum gravity foam of zero point quantum vacuum fluctuations of the geometrodynamic field. The problem is that we need enormous amounts of energy to accomplish all this. Therefore it seems impossible as a practical matter. This means that either UFOs as described by Paul Hill in his book Unconventional Flying Objects do not exist, or we are missing some new physics. The new physics may be the development of metamaterials with a negative index of refraction. Electromagnetic energy trapped inside the metamaterial can be negative causing repulsive antigravity if either the electrical permittivity or the magnetic permeability or both are negative in some range of frequencies and wavelengths. Normally the induced antigravity field is too weak to notice. However if we also make a superconducting metamaterial in which the speed of light is slowed down to a snails pace or even stopped completely, there is reason to believe that the antigravity field will be amplified with the same small amount of electromagnetic energy. This is because the strength of the coupling of the energy density to spacetime curvature is Newtons constant divided by the 4th power of the speed of light. Therefore, the amount of bending of spacetime is magnified by the 4th power of the very large, but negative index of refraction of light in the superconducting metamaterial. This conjecture has not been tested yet, but its the only idea I know of that has a chance of explaining the UFO data. Professor James Woodward of Cal State disagrees with me for reasons that I do not find convincing. However, it is an empirical issue. A relevant phenomenon is in 1-atom thick graphene sheets of carbon atoms in a hexagonal lattice. The massless conduction electron quasiparticles in it are predicted to feel a positive index of refraction of 300 compared to the normal value of near 1. Consequently their coupling to light is predicted to be 300 times stronger than normal. This is similar to my idea, which in this case would give an anomalous attractive gravity (300)4 times stronger than normal from this material. This would still be a tiny effect, but perhaps measurable. There is also the issue of the quantum statistics of the quasi-electrons in graphene are they anyons with fractional quantum statistics?

Or even if you try to hover close above the surface of a relatively small black hole of ten solar masses or less" firing your rocket engines radially away from it. You will be ripped apart. Marc Millis who runs the small NASA Breakthrough Propulsion Project, trying to appear respectable, has ignored these basic observations of UFO physics and has, in my opinion, supported unimaginative approaches that would as Kim Burrafato quipped, have us crawl to the stars on our knees.

October Sky 1953 - Merlins Super Kids Around this time, in the early 1950s, I was part of an after-school group of gifted kids50 (including Johnny Glogower51 who worked with me and Lenny Susskind52 at Cornell later on) conducted by the late Walter Breen. Breen was a graduate student at Columbia and well-known numismatist associated with psychologist William Sheldon.53 Breen had a connection with the nuclear weapons laboratory, Sandia Corporation,54 because two men visited us from Sandia who lectured us on patriotism and anti-communism when they took us to dinner in New Yorks German Town (86th Street). Breen was closely connected with people in Ayn Rands circle.55 However, I met Breen after the strange phone calls.

50

The group, for a short while, included Robert Solovay, the UCB logician now Emeritus (e.g. Solovay-Kitaev theorem that is important in quantum computer theory.) 51 Quiz Kid on radio. Johnny read Synge and Schilds Tensor Calculus at age 12 and understood it. 52 Lenny later became Professor of Physics at Stanford. Lenny, Glogower and me all worked at Cornell in 1963 on Lennys first paper on time and phase operators that was published in same issue of Physics that John Bells famous locality inequality was first published. Indeed, I suggested the time operator problem to Lenny as I had been working on it with George B. Parrent, Mark Beran and Brian J. Thompson at Tech/Ops before coming back to Cornell to do some graduate work in Space Science. Its was at that time that I also got an idea for nuclear longlived isomer powered gamma ray laser that I discussed with Hans Bethe. I got Phil Morrison to arrange for Glogower to come to Cornell. Johnny, Lenny and I worked together on this problem. I then went away to Ford Philco Aeronutronics in the summer of 1963 where I met Fred W. Cummings - my later thesis advisor. This was before Steven C. Frautschis student, George Chapline Jr. from Cal Tech, who I met in La Jolla in 1967, got me my job at San Diego State. Chapline, many years later, actually built a similar device to my gamma ray laser idea lower down on the energy scale. Chapline and I were also with Greg Benford and his brother at UCSD, part of the group in the novel Timescape about messages from the future with Herbie Bernstein and Harry Yesian. Chapline worked under Edward Teller on the X-ray laser for SDI. The X-ray laser required a nuclear explosion. President Reagan dropped it for that reason although it did work in an underground nuclear test. Hans Bethe discouraged my interest in the gamma ray laser in 1963 saying that the actual numbers for nuclear isomer lifetimes etc. would not allow it. Gamma rays are higher energy per quantum than X-rays. I worked with Bethe in 1960 on correcting an error in Julian Schwingers WWII MIT Rad Lab report on polarization of synchrotron radiation at small angles off the plane of the charged particle orbit. I also, independently of others like Keith Brueckner and the JASONS, got the idea, of using laser beams to confine hot fusion plasmas. This was why Ron Bullough invited me to UKAERE Harwell in 1966. 53 Breen was funded by his coin dealing, but also, via Sheldon, by one of the four founders of Texas Instruments with OSS connections in WWIIE-mail from Richard Newsome. This was Eugene McDermott who wrote four books with William Sheldon. http://www.tsha.utexas.edu/handbook/online/articles/view/MM/fmc40.html During World War I, he served in the United States Navy, and from 1941 to 1946 he was a civilian consultant to the Office of Scientific Research and Development (Philadelphia Experiment link?)In 1949 McDermott collaborated with William Sheldon on four books, including Varieties of Delinquent Youth. Did McDermott and Sheldon know Arthur Young and Andrija Puharich at that time in the early 1950s? Was Charles Lindbergh, a close friend of Arthurs with, like McDermott, a strong interest in eugenics, directly involved? http://www.innerexplorations.com/catpsy/t2c7. htm 54 Former CIA Chief of Station, Harold Chipman, with Joe Peeples of TLC in Dallas (or Houston) Texas talked of a lab on a mountain in New Mexico that I might want to work in. This was ~ 1985. 55 As was, the then very young, Alan Greenspan of the Federal Reserve. Howard Roark, played by Marshall Naifys close friend Gary Cooper, in the movie of Ayn Rands The Fountainhead was my role model at age 16 when I read the novel. I met Coopers daughter with her husband Byron Janis in London in 1974 during the Geller tests at Birkbeck College with John Hasted and David Bohm. Arthur C. Clarke and Arthur Koestler attended these tests, see Magic and Paraphysics in Science, Good, Bad and Bogus.

My grandfather Murray Jacobson worked for the US Army Quarter Master Corps in lower Manhattan in late 40s & early 50s where I used to go and play after school and I got to ride around in Army cars talking with officers about my plans to build spaceships to the planets and then to the stars. My grandfather did the driving. This, I speculate, may have a causal connection to my later contact with Breen and the phone calls. Curiously, John Hersey wrote a novel in the 1950s called The Child Buyer. This is a story of an investigation into the activities of Mr. Wissey Jones, a stranger who comes to the town of Pequot on urgent defense His business is to buy for his corporation children of a certain sort, in this case a ten-year-old named Barry Rudd, a budding genius of potentially critical value. A hearing is held and questions are asked: exactly why does Mr. Jones company buy children, and will it succeed in buying Barry? - Amazon.com There was also a Twilight Zone episode with the same story line.

The Mists of Avalon Walter Breen arranged a full scholarship for me to go to Cornell at age 17 by writing an extensive psychological profile in which he predicted I would make revolutionary discoveries in the foundations of physics. My professors at Cornell like Hans Bethe, Robert Wilson, and Phil Morrison et-al were all major figures in the Manhattan Project at Los Alamos near where Sandia is located. I have just learned that Breen recently died in prison convicted of child molestation. Breen or any of the other adults that I met in his apartment definitely never molested me and I never heard any suggestions of that by the other kids. Indeed, Breen had two children with the well-known science-fiction fantasy writer, Marion Zimmer Bradley who wrote the best-selling Mists of Avalon. When one sees the TV show it is clear that Avalon is the universe next door to Glastonbury59 across a thin gap of hyperspace.60 Breen told me he did much of the scholarly research in the writing of that book. I would run into him about every 10 years, or so, up until the about 1990.

Chapter 10 Twenty Years Later Beyond The Fringe

It is early 1973. I am a Professor at San Diego State with Fred Alan Wolf.

Jack Sarfatti, Assistant Professor of Physics at San Diego State. Physics Department giving Colloquium on John Wheelers Geometrodynamics. This picture is ~ 1970 when I was also co-directing NSF Summer Institute for College Teachers on Macroscopic Quantum Physics of superfluids and lasers - the idea for it was mine and Herschel Snodgrass got it through the red tape to get the funding from Washington. I got a message that someone I didnt know named Fritjof Capra61 was on campus to see me. I had recently returned from the University of Londons Birkbeck College where I was an Honorary Research Fellow in the Physics Department under Professor David Bohm62. Fritjof
61

Fritjof Capra is the author of The Tao of Physics, Turning Point, and the film Mind Walk. He was a founding leader of the Green Party in Germany and a personal friend of Mikhail and Rasa Gorbachev. He currently runs the Elmwood Institute. He was not famous in 1973. In 1975, when I was in charge of the Esalen physics program, Fritjof told me he was broke. He said he needed $1500 to get his Green Card. I telephoned Werner Erhard and he gave Fritjof the $1500. 62 David Bohm worked with Einstein at Princeton. Bohm was a student of J. Robert Oppenheimer. Bohm became a target of Senator Joe McCarthy and had to leave America. Bohms informal ideas on implicate order have been warmly embraced by Pundits in the, now worldwide, New Age Human Potential Movement. My own idea on modifying the quantum connection into a retroactive superluminal communication conscious channel by postquantum back-reaction of the material particle on the mental pilot wave was inspired by Bohms insight on page 30 of The Undivided Universe. However, my bigger new idea is not limited by Bohms more restricted one. This back-action is missing in orthodox quantum theory with local quantum randomness. Note that Roger Penrose, Stephen Hawking, David Deutsch, Henry Stapp et-al only have the wave without the particle. Hence their interpretation of quantum reality is incomplete.

said he had heard in London that I had interesting ideas63. He was very charming and invited me to stay with him if ever I got back to London. Bob Toben, Fred Alan Wolf Space-Time & Beyond Fred Alan Wolfs64 zany high school buddy from Chicago65 Bob Toben showed up. He was all excited about Uri Geller, Bob said he had money to do a book and TV show about Geller. He wanted Fred and me to serve as technical consultants. I then got a telegram from Abdus Salam66 inviting me to the UNESCO International Centre for Theoretical Physics67 in Trieste, Italy. I also received a travel grant from the National Science Foundation.68 Oddly enough, Fred Wolf 69 also received invitations to teach both at Birkbeck College of the University of London and at the

63

I had published a paper in Nature Physical Science while at Birkbeck on the creation of the universe and little extreme nonradiating black holes . It was at Birkbeck that I suddenly remembered my earlier idea from Einstein, Rosen and Podolsky, quantum mechanics required faster-than-light influences. Murray Gell-Mann says that you do not need faster-than-light, but only many worlds with no counterfactual definiteness. I first got my faster-than-light idea in 1961 at Brandeis University where I was a National Defense Fellow reading a Review of Modern Physics article by David Inglis on, I seem to recall, tau-theta puzzle for the weak parity violating decay of the kaon into two and three pions. Both final states are entangled with EPR correlations. I remember when Phil Morrison announced weak force parity violation to us at Cornell ~ 1957. He immediately applied it in a gedankenexperiments for SETI to contact with ET. Phil was writing the famous ET contact paper with Giuseppe Cocconi at the time using the 21cm spectral line on neutral hydrogen http://www.bigear.org/vol1no1/interste.htm 64 Fred and I were Odd Couple roommates at the time. We were both separated from our wives. Bob was making money on the Chicago Options Market and funded us with it. 65 Freds high school class, and football team mates, included film director, Billy Friedkin, who lives in North Beach and entertainment lawyer, Ruben Glickman of Enrico Banduccis Rat Pack, who I work out with at the Bay Club. 66 Abdus Salam later shared the Nobel Prize in Physics for the unification of the electromagnetic and weak forces. Salam was interested in my idea that elementary particles were little black holes in his strong short range G* gravity that I published later in Space-Time and Beyond. I abandoned that idea - my greatest mistake. I have now come back to it because of superstring M-theory triggered again by collaboration with Saul-Paul Sirag. See Robert Anton Wilsons The Cosmic Trigger. My interest in the universes unseen dimensions of hyperspace hit a peak in 2001, but now in the Spring of 2002 has waned because I seem to be able to qualitatively and coherently and elegantly explain the key mysteries of the universe in a simple unified way without invoking them. They may still be there in an important way of course. Its soon to decide. The mysteries I mean are: Why is there smooth low entropy curved spacetime at all? Why does time appear to our consciousness to flow from past to future with rare experiences of precognition? Why is at least 80% of gravitating mass in the universe electromagnetically invisible? Why is the universe accelerating rather than slowing down in its expansion? How can flying saucers work if they were fact and not fiction? Could time travelers from our future and from parallel worlds be here now influencing our history? I mean as a matter of principle in terms of plausible extensions of todays laws of physics. Indeed, Stephen Hawking in The Universe in a Nutshell writes: Its tricky to speculate openly about time travel. One risks, either an outcry at the waste of public moneyor a demand that the research be classified for military purposes. There are only a few of us foolhardy enough to work on a subject that is so politically incorrect in physics circles. We disguise the fact by using technical terms that are code for time travel (p.133)we have no reliable evidence of visitors from the future. Im discounting the conspiracy theory that UFOs are from the future and that the government knows and is covering up. Its record of cover-ups is not that good (p.142). You might wonder it this chapter is part of a government coverup on time travel. You might be right. (p.135) 67 The International Atomic Energy Authority in Vienna also funded ICTP. I went to Yugoslavia from there. Fred Wolf visited and went to Bulgaria. Werner Erhards est had a Bulgarian Desk at their HQ on Union Street in San Francisco in 1975. 68 The FBI did a security check at San Diego State after I was already in Europe. 69 Fred Wolf describes some of these events in his book The Eagles Quest. Freds book, Parallel Universes, and similar books, have made to Sci Fi in the TV series Sliders.

University of Paris. Like Bob Hope and Bing Crosby in the movies On the Road to70, both Fred and I were unexpectedly on our way to Europe. Bob Toben said he would join us in Paris where Fred would be based.

Jean Cocteau, French Surrealism meets Italian Futurism Fred Alan Wolf showed me the very short French film La Jetee which was about time travel loops. It had a kind of mini-Terminator plot. I then went to the University of California at Santa Cruz for a two-week seminar in high-energy physics. Helen Quinn 7111 and I went to a campus showing of Jean Cocteau, surrealist film Orphee which, like La Jetee,72 had a very powerful effect on me. I was particularly taken with a scene in which three motorcyclists in black leather jackets run down Cegeste, take him through a mirror to the seductive woman in black.

Brendan ORegan, CIAs SRI Remote Viewing It was the summer of 1973, I prepared for Europe with my girlfriend, Sharon Allegra Moore.73 We were at her mothers house in Carmel Valley, California. I opened up the Sunday Magazine of the San Francisco Chronicle and found, seemingly by random chance, but in reality by Melvilles invisible police officer of the Fates, an article on Stanford Research Institutes

Sharon was a tall aristocratic-looking woman with large Bette Davis eyes and chestnut hair from a solid San Francisco Irish Family who seemed to me to be from the Victorian Age. Fred Alan Wolfs 1973 film with me and Sharon can be found at http://stardrive.org

psychic research with Uri Geller. I telephoned SRI and spoke to Brendan ORegan.74 Brendan seemed to know of me and invited me to SRI. I arrived the next day and spent an intense seventeen hours with him. He introduced me to Edgar Mitchell75, to Hal Puthoff, Russell Targ,76and other people connected with the project. I mentioned my experience with the alleged conscious computer on the spacecraft from the future in 1953 and Brendan said Oh yes, I have seen data on several hundred incidents of that kind. Brendan asked me to do him the favor or introducing him to David Bohm and John Hasted of Birkbeck College. He said that he wanted them to test Uri Gellers alleged psychic powers. I had Fred Wolf do so. This led to the Birkbeck tests of Geller in the spring of 1974.77 Dr. Kardec, Baphomet and The Knights Templar Sharon and I stayed with Fritjof Capra78 in London for a few days before moving on to Paris. My French friend Michel Roure 79 housed us in a friends flat near the Ecole Militaire at the edge of the Champs de Mars opposite the Eiffel Tower.80
74

The late Brendan ORegan worked for Astronaut Edgar Mitchells Institute for Noetic Sciences which was funding the SRI project. Brendan was from Dublin and his family was in the publishing business. He told me about a near death out of body experience that he had in a car crash. My mother had also had an OBE as did Fred Alan Wolf. O Regans story was very similar to Walter Breens 1954 tale to me about his alleged airplane crash with USAAF in New Mexico in 1947. Indeed, ORegan and Breen had many common personality characteristics like two peas from the same pod in Invasion of the Mind Snatchers 75 Mitchell was an astronaut who went to the moon and did telepathy transmission experiments on the trip. He is very interested in the Bohm - Pribram idea of the mind as a hologram. I have shown how the mind is an interferogram. A hologram is a special kind of interferogram. The main idea is that mental information is coded by quantum phase modulation on a coherent phase field from a spontaneous broken symmetry of a pumped Frohlich mode made from a billion-billion (1018) hydrophobically caged electron qubits in the brain that is far from thermodynamic equilibrium. Stuart Hameroff http://www.consciousness.arizona.edu/hameroff/ popularized the existence of these electrons but he does not use them explicitly. He uses the much too heavy protein dimers that encase them as his qubit. There also appears to be a cosmological connection of the duration of our conscious moments that I calculate to be ~ 1 sec, to the age of the universe ~ 13 billion years. The power needed to maintain our internal subjective, not really private, stream of consciousness in my model is less than a tenth of a watt. Our metabolism is about 100 watts. 76 Russell Targ was parodied in the Dan Akroyd movie Ghost Busters based on information about PCRG at Esalen and in San Francisco he got from George Koopman. George, killed in 1986 in a freak auto accident on way to Edwards AFB, worked with Dan Akroyd and John Belushi on The Blues Brothers. Russell is still actively doing experiments in precognitive remote viewing. He is working on a theory with Elizabeth Rauscher using complex spacetime. However, I do not think that model really works or is even needed. However, I have not studied their model in detail. 77 Martin Gardner has described these tests in his article Magic and Paraphysics reprinted in his book, Science, Good, Bad and Bogus 78 Sharon and I stayed with Fritjof in London and with his parents in Innsbruck in the winter of 1973. 79 I met Michel an extraordinarily handsome man from Aix-en-Provence, fluent in English, Italian, German, Spanish and Chinese, when he was teaching at San Diego State in 1970. Michels father (a friend of De Gaulle) was a high officer in the French Army in Algeria and Michel served under the French Naval Attach in Rome where he became a good friend of U.S. Ambassador Graham Martin and his daughter. I introduced Fritjof Capra to Martins daughter in London. Sharon and I visited The Popes Garden where Michel worked part-time at Vatican Radio . We drove to Sicily and wandered into a 2 AM wedding feast in a scene right out of Coppolas Godfather. A few days later, we, and several French sailors, also spied on rusting WWII vintage prop fighters, seemingly from Mussolinis time, in the tall grass, hiding our tiny Citroen, outside a NATO AFB near Palermo, Sicily in a war game with the French

Jack and Sharon in London In the thick of it, 1973 - photo by Art Wolfe We awoke early next morning and went sightseeing at Pere La Chaise cemetery. The mist was rising from the dewy grass. I came upon a procession of Gypsy women. I walked away from Sharon and Michel to follow the procession. The women stopped in front of a grave with a very fine quality statue of a head. They placed garlands of freshly cut flowers around the neck of the head. I had no idea of the Orphic meaning of this elaborate ritual. I looked at the inscription Dr. Kardec; D. 1869 81 the eyes of the head of Kardec suddenly came to life glowing intensely
Navy. Our patriotic duty done, we had fresh seafood, calamari, and wine on the beach from some friendly peasants near an ancient Greek Temple. 80 Carlo Suares lived only a few yards away, but I would not meet him until three months later. 81 Years later, Dr. Jeffrey Mishlove told me that Kardec researched the occult. He has a cult of millions in France and Latin America. I made two shows on Mishloves Thinking Allowed on Wisdom Channel. I am also on Discovery Learning Channels Ultra-Science in their Time Travel show. I was also interviewed by Italian TV RAI on Michael Murphys garden at 2 Whiting on Telegraph Hill where Jacob Atabet lived. I think RAI was interested in the connection to Margherita Sarfatti. I was not too aware of that at that time in mid-70s.

You old wizard youre not dead yet. I challenge your power!82 The Templars supposedly worshipped a devil called Baphomet . At their secret ceremonies they supposedly prostrated themselves before a bearded male head, which spoke to them and invested them with occult powers. p.49 (see also pp.54-58) Holy Blood, Holy Grail83 Heinrich Himmler was very keen on this Orphic/Osirus stuff and is said to have sacrificed young SS Officers in a decapitation ceremony84 in the High Castle.

http://www.allan-kardec.org/allankardec.html I wrote this all in 2002 before I had any knowledge of Dan Browns novels about this legendary story whose literal truth we do not allege. It has a memetic power that cant be denied. 83 Note also Himmlers use of these myths including Atlantis, and Tibetan Magick in his Occult SS . These memes are strong in the current New Age constellation of ideas. Hitlers keen occult interest in Wagners use of The Grail Legend is common knowledge. 84 Professor Scott Littleton of Occidental College in Los Angeles told me this story. 85 In 1990, my charismatic glamorous live-in of two years, a gun-toting private detective VB that I first met in the apartment of CIA Chief of Station, Harold Chipman. John Updike allegedly based Darryl Van Horne on me in his The Witches of Eastwick. I have no way of knowing if this rumor is true. Many false stories about me are in circulation. I had several girl friends in 70s & 80s who claimed to have Intelligence connections, one Crystal is described in Jerry Carrolls Chronicle article Another Eccentric Genius in North Beach? another said her father was, like Harold Chipmans friend, Joe Peeples, a Mid East arms dealer from Texarcana, Arkansas. I met MB through Linda Murtha, granddaughter of the original owner of the Golden Nugget Casino in Las Vegas whose big parties were described by Herb Gold in Travels in San Francisco. Still another, Maiti, allegedly an exWeatherman, said her father was a senior CIA analyst for Arab affairs. Her father once called us late at night to say that The Philadelphia Experiment was real. He also worked with Herman Kahn of Hudson Institute and wrote a letter about me to Marvin Minsky ~ 1979. Maitis grandfather, General Rudl, (not Hans Ulrich Rudel) was allegedly on German General Staff in WWII. Maitis Dad became the first US Army Islamic Chaplain later on! I did not know back in 1980 too much about Maitis Dad Robert Dickson Crane who wrote a letter about me to Marvin Minsky and who sent me some interesting papers on Tauhid the teleological idea of future causation in some Islamic metaphysics. Dr. Robert Dickson Crane grew up in Cambridge, Mass and graduated with B.A. from Northwestern University in 1956 and JD from Harvard in 1959. He was personal adviser to President Nixon and was appointed Deputy Director for Planning in the National Security Council. He served as Ambassadors to the United Arabs Emirates from 1981 until 1984 when he embraced Islam. He has authorized a dozen books and several dozen articles on policy issues. He continues his research on Islam and is leading an effert on how American Muslims can take the true faith of Islam back from extremists.

I heard music from the finale of Mozarts Don Giovanni in the scene where the walking statue86 of Donna Elviras murdered father comes to claim revenge from the Don. My occult reverie was broken when Michel87 called out to me to come away with him and Sharon. Night came with a full August moon. Sharon, Michel and I took a long walk from a party near the Bois de Boulogne back to the Champs de Mars. It was about two in the morning when we arrived at the base of the Eiffel Tower. Michel and some friends split off to the left. Sharon and I started to walk on the path. We had not gotten very far before I heard the sounds of motorcycle engines behind me VROOM, VROOM, VROOM!. I turned and was temporarily blinded by three motorcycle headlights. I could see that there were two Occult SS looking men in black leather jackets on each of the three motorcycles.88 I grabbed Sharon and we quickly walked off the path on to the grassy field of Mars. The motorcyclists followed slowly and began circling us. I noticed a young couple making love in the grass. Sharon and I started to run towards them. One motorcycle broke away from the circle and came right for us. The passenger had a rubber truncheon. He walloped me on the back of my left shoulder the way a Zen Master might.89 All three motorcycles sped off quickly. They made no further attempt to rob or harm us. I cannot remember when the connection to the scene in Cocteaus Orphee hit me. It would be years later that I learned that the symbol of the Knights Templar 90 is two Knights on the same horse

I met Milos and Saul Zaentz several times with Francis Ford Coppola in the mid 70s. 87 Michel also interviewed (1979) the sister of the late Jean Reisser Nadal buried in Pere Le Chaise. Nadal asked his sister to contact me using a prearranged signal. Nadal seemed to be working for French Intelligence. 88 Compare the three motorcycles of my experience and Orphee to Rashis prophecy of Godfreys fate in Jerusalem. 89 Castenadas Shaman, Don Juan says that the impeccable psychic warrior, as in Lt. Col. Jim Channons First Earth Battalion, must walk with Death on his left shoulder. Stopping the world is the transformation of real to imaginary time. Imaginary time is the dream time of the Australian Aborigines and the Shamans as explained in Fred Alan Wolfs book, The Dreaming Universe. 90 According to Holy Blood, Holy Grail, Wagners Grail Knights are based upon the Templars from Troyes.

and that my alleged ancestor Rashi de Troyes (1040-1105) appeared to have played a role in their formation. Solomon ha-Zarfati AKA Rashi de Troyes (1040-1105) He was called R. Solomon by the Jews of France, and R. Salomon ha-Zarfati (the Frenchman) by Jews outside of France. (p.33)According to a rather widespread legend, Rashi stood in intimate relations with one of the principal chiefs of the CrusadeGodfrey de Bouillon (p.68) RASHI, Maurice Liber Szold trans. (Jewish Publication Society, 1906) This book, given to me by Surrealist Phillip La Mantia, describes (p.p.68-69) Rashis precognition or remote viewing of Godfreys fate in the war against the Saracens in Jerusalem. Godfrey said to Rashi (Zarfati) I see that your wisdom is great. I should like to know whether I shall return from my expedition victorious or whether I shall succumb. Speak without fear. Zarfati replied: Thou wilt take the Holy City and thou wilt reign over Jerusalem three days, but on the fourth day the Moslem will put thee to flight, and when thou returnest only three horses will be left to thee. Godfrey, angered by Zarfatis prophecy, reneges on his promise and threatens to kill all the Jews of France If I return with only one more horse than thou sayest. Godfreys fourth horse died at the Gates of Troyes according to ancient legend and the Jews were saved. Keep note of the image of the three horses for later on in the book! b) In a section The Grail and Cabalism (p.274-5 of Holy Blood, Holy Grail by M. Baigent, R. Leigh and H Lincoln, Delecorte, 1982) I find: The Grail is an initiatory experiencea transformationor altered state of consciousnessa Gnostic experience, a mystical experience, illumination, or union with God. It is possible toplace the experiential aspect of the Grail in a very specific contextthe Kabbalahit would hardly seem coincidental that there was such a school at Troyes. It dated from 1070 - Godfroi de Bouillons time - and was conducted by one Rashi, perhaps the most famous of medieval cabalists . See Erik Daviss book Techgnosis for the history of these ideas and how they have affected history. Cabalist Carlo Suares (Balthazar of Durrells The Alexandria Quartet)

Christmas of 1973, I am back in Paris staying with Fred Alan Wolf near the Odeon in the former apartment of the Marquis de Sade. Freds roommate, a journalist with The Economist was away interviewing Sadat in Egypt. Fred and I had to share the same very large bed because his roommate did not want any one staying in his room. One night a young woman from upstairs knocked on the door. Fred91let her in and she proceeded to make love to the two of us. We were still young in our 30s and it was the early 70s. Bob Toben arrived in Paris. We spent most of our time writing Space-Time and Beyond in the Cafe Deux Maggots. Fred was distraught over some woman, was very manic and could not concentrate. So I wrote most of the first rough draft, which Fred rewrote in the second edition.92 Suares lived in a penthouse at the edge of the Champs de Mars only a few meters away from my Cocteauesque encounter with the motorcyclists a few months earlier. Suares, a Sephardic Spanish Jew born in Alexandria, Egypt, was a student of the Kabbalah.93 He was a close friend of Krishnamurti, Lawrence Durrell and Henry Miller.94 Bob took us to see the eighty four year old Carlo Suares95 and his wife Nadine96, Suaress circle included Krishnamurti, Henry Miller, Anais Nin, Aldous Huxley and Lawrence Durrell.97 Durrell bases the character of Balthazar in Alexandria Quartet

91

Fred was always quite the ladys man. Late one night, he had a tryst with a very sexy young secretary in David Bohms great leather chair at Birkbeck. The next morning Bohms much older secretary, who looked like Miss Marple, started sniffing the chair saying, Someones been here who shouldnt! 92 Fred later rewrote Space-Time and Beyond, which sold ~ 200,000 copies in a revised edition. I took my name off the new edition because of the scandal over our book agent Ira Einhorn who was a fugitive from justice for the murder of his girlfriend Holly Maddux. Sharon and I did do a hot tub with the two of them in 1974 in Philadelphia on my way to see Andrija Puharich. Einhorn claimed he was innocent and was framed by the KGB. Einhorn was deeply connected with Michael Murphy and Esalen as recorded by William Irwin Thompson in The Edge of History. Congressman Charlie Rose (D. North Carolina) of the House Select Committee on Intelligence told me on the telephone that Einhorn was working on projects he knew of. Rose supported funding of psychic research and was a visitor to Esalen. Einhorn is now in prison in Pennsylvania, probably for life. Did he really do the terrible deed? I simply do not know. Had Einhorn not run away twenty years ago, he would have beat the rap on reasonable doubt same as O. J. Simpson. The Unicorns Secret may die with him in the Pennsylvania Prison where he is now serving life. 93 Kabbalah is a Jewish mystical tradition based upon permutations of the letters of the Hebrew Alphabet, which is allegedly given to man by God. Kabbalah is to Orthodox Jews as my post-quantum physics is to mainstream physicists - not quite kosher. 94 Henry Miller retired to Big Sur a short walk from Esalen. 95 See Fred Wolfs strangely incomplete account of these meetings in The Eagles Quest. 96 Nadine told me that as a young student, she was instructed by a Ghost of a Medieval Sephardic Physician on her dermatology exam in Toledo, Spain. She had not prepared for her exam. This story is like that of the first Bard of Britain who could not sing. 97 I was invited to Theosophical Happy Valley estate in Ojai outside of Santa Barbara by Suaress California friends. One of the old Theosophists told me that I was the reincarnation of Leadbeater. Theosophy was started by Madam Blavatsky based upon her alleged travels in Tibet. It is alleged that these ideas played a role in the rise of Hitler through the Thule Society. Carlo had met David Bohm but they did not hit it off. Joyce Petschek flew Brendan ORegan and me with her from London to Paris to meet with Carlo. Joyce was a wealthy American living in London who supported paranormal projects with Andrija Puharich. Ira Einhorn also stayed with her. Her mansion had a huge swimming pool in the basement. We drove up to Cambridge in her white Porsche to meet Brian Josephson, Chris Bird, Ted Bastin. This was when I met Dennis Bardens.

121

Suares lectured us on the Kabbalah in several meetings. I could not follow him very well but Fred Wolf seemed to recover from his angst and got deeply involved with Suares. I did understand that Suares thought that Genesis, in the original Hebrew Letters, in The Bible was really a cosmic code for physicists.98 Suares had met Bohm through Krishnamurti. Oddly enough, Suares with piercing eyes like the head of Kardec and like Yoda initiating Luke Skywalker in Star Wars suddenly put his hands on my shoulders saying: You do not understand yet. You are the Heir to the Tradition. You will not come into your power until you are with the woman and the child. You will smash the wall of light! I continued to commute between Trieste and Paris on the Semplon Express all through the winter and spring of 1974. One of my side trips took me to the house of a lady friend of Robert Graves99 in the village of Lluch Alcari near Jacobs Tower on the island of Majorca. The atmosphere of the place is heavy with the presence of the Magus. I experienced the feel of ancient times. Psi Wars! Uri Geller, Dennis Bardens, Her Majestys Secret Service I linked up with Brendan ORegan in London. Brendan asked me to write a paper on physics and psychic phenomena for the journal Psycho-Energetic Systems 100 that he had some connection to. I quickly scribbled some drivel with a pencil and gave it to ORegan. He rewrote it and published it in my name. The paper appeared after the Geller tests. The late David Bohm did not like what I wrote and he wrote a rebuttal to it with Basil Hiley. ORegan and I were at Cambridge attending a meeting on psychic research sponsored, if I remember correctly, by Ted Bastins group of new age physicists and computer scientists. Nobel prize physicist Brian Josephson 101 was there. After the meeting a sprightly Englishman walked up to me and introduced himself as Dennis Bardens.102

One of Suaress books is The Cipher of Genesis. Graves wrote Good-bye to All That, The White Goddess, and I Claudius. The cottage where George Sand lived with Chopin was close by. 100 Jean Steins father, Jules Stein (MCA) also was funding some New Age projects in the mid-seventies along with Laurance Rockefeller. One of Rockefellers close friends Jean Lanier financed me at that time. 101 Josephson spent two weeks with me in San Francisco in 1977. The visit was reported in The Chronicle. He spent a lot of time with Puthoff and Targ at SRI. I introduced Zukav to Josephson. Josephson believes that the superluminal quantum connection is necessary for life and consciousness to exist. 102 Peter Maddock, who was also at the Cambridge meeting told me, years later, Oh yes, Bardens, he was a parttime stringer for British Intelligence. Maddock resurfaced at the Tucson II meeting in April 1996 where he presented a paper on telepathy (abstract # 418)

122

Like the FBI operatives in The X-Files, Bardens really did believe that the truth was out there, and he felt an enduring need to illuminate it wherever he could. He found the unexplained fascinating because it was all, he believed, ultimately explainable. Sunday Times of London, March 10, 2004 liv Bardens said to me: Dr. Sarfatti, may I take you to dinner? Fred Wolf was there and he suggested I go with Bardens. We had a good dinner of duck in cherry sauce at the Blue Boar Inn. After dinner, over brandy and cigars, Bardens leaned towards me with a conspiratorial wink and said: First, I want you to know that I am a Cabalist.lv After a dramatic pause he continued in a more officious tone: Dr. Sarfatti, it is my duty to inform you of a psychic war raging across the continents between the Soviet Union and your country and you are to be in the thick of it! 103

G-Strings Life is a beautiful thing as long as I hold the string. Sinatra Enigma of the point particle Herbert Frohlich104 took me aside one day in 1967 outside the physics department office at Revelle College of the University of California, San Diego in La Jolla saying, The idea of the point particle is what is wrong with physics. Nevertheless, scattering data on the electron shows it to be a point particle at very high energy. Similar deep inelastic scattering of electrons off the proton and neutron indirectly show three real point-like quarks with fractional electric charge inside each nucleon surrounded by a cloud of virtual particle-antiparticle source pairs and virtual force gluons. The problem with point particles is that they have infinite self-energy not even Feynmans genius was able to solve that enigma completely. Feynman was never satisfied with his renormalization trick for which he shared the Nobel Prize with Schwinger105 and Tomonaga. Indeed, Feynman told me in his Cal Tech Office in 1968 that he thought what he did was no better than a shell game and that it was a scandal that no one was able to come up with a better idea. So Feynman agreed with Frohlich on this. They did not agree with Steven Weinbergs making a virtue of the necessity of renormalization, which is also very hard to understand and is probably not mathematically kosher. The amazing fact about it, however, is how well it works giving important numbers that agree with experiment to great accuracy. We now know that we can make classical Bohmian hidden variable models of the electron and the quarks as hollow spherical shells of different kinds of charge glued together by interior dark matter, i.e. a zero point vacuum fluctuating plasma of virtual fermion-antifermion pairs with positive pressure creating a strong short-range gravity force that neutralizes the electrical selfcharge repulsion. Lorentz and Abraham did not know this over 100 years ago before quantum theory and Einsteins general relativity were even thought of by their sleepwalking creators.

104

Discoverer of the isotope effect that helped Bardeen, Cooper and Schrieffer formulate the theory of electrical superconductors as a quieting of the local randomness of the zero point fluctuations by the formation of coherent quantum superpositions of different numbers of nonlocally connected, or real entangled electron pairs . This violates, i.e., spontaneously breaks an internal gauge symmetry from hyperspace in the lowest energy ground state. The same idea works for the virtual quanta inside the quantum vacuum of the system. This new coherent phase ordered quantum vacuum state with a smaller amount of random zero point fluctuations (ZPF) has a slightly lower total energy than the normal state with a larger amount of random zero point fluctuations. Symmetry means that something does not change when something else does change. P.W. Anderson was also at UCSD around this time where he gave his important More is different talk. Anderson wrote: I admired Frohlichs book on dielectric theoryI came to see the crucial importance of the concept of broken symmetryBroken symmetry is the clearest instance of the process of emergence which lies behind More is different I developed the concept of the Goldstone bosonsuperconductivity, the Higgs phenomenon and the concept of Generalized Rigidity arose, the latter referring to the similarities between superfluidity superconductivity, and elastic rigidity of all sorts from A Career in Theoretical Physics, P W Anderson (World Scietific,1994) 105 Julian Schwinger left staid Harvard for UCLA where he liked to drive Cadillac convertibles to the beaches. Feynman had a similar experience with me in 1963 down the Sunset Strip in my black Jaguar XK 150 convertible with white leather seats that I got at Hollywood Sports Cars.

Vibrating Strings106 As Saul-Paul explains below some people did begin to do better later on. The idea is that all the elementary particles are vibrating G-Strings. The great advantage to this is that the self-energy is no longer infinite and the theory based on Feynmans diagrams for point particles on world lines gets even simpler and more elegant. However, there is still a problem with the modern hyperspace string theory, which is that the energies are really much too high. When you combine the basic numbers of gravity with the basic numbers of quantum theory you get a G-String length of 10-33 cm, which is 20 powers of ten smaller than the proton at 10-13 cm107 should be. The electron is actually larger at around 4x10-11 cm, i.e. 22 powers of ten bigger than the G-String. On the one hand, the string length is so tiny that it would seem to explain why the electron looks like a point smaller than at least 10-16 cm in scattering data. On the other hand, basic quantum theory says that the electron should really be quite large at 10-11 cm called the Compton wavelength.108 So we have a paradox that I solve for the first time in this book with The GString Theory. To be more precise I should use the symbol G* rather than G that is the usual symbol for Newtons constant of gravity measured in the laboratory.109 The G* theory was first introduced almost thirty years ago by Nobel Laureate physicist Abdus Salam. I worked on it with him in Trieste, Italy in 1973. In this book, I apply that idea in a new way. The idea is that G is not a constant but is a variable G* getting very large at small distances. Once we have that idea, then the electron is actually a vibrating G-String of length 10-11 cm, but because of the strong short range warping of space at that scale it looks like a point particle when one probes it with something called the spacelike virtual photon. This effect is crucial for an understanding of the way a flying saucer might fly. We shall see later that there is a spacetime stiffness coefficient that is 1 fermi per 4 billion metric tons.110 Remember, the proton is about 1 fermi across. In contrast, the neutral hydrogen atom of a single proton and a single electron is about 108 cm across in its lowest energy ground state. That is 100,000 times larger. Spacetime is simply much too stiff to bend with an electromagnetic control field if G is really an absolute constant. 111 This means it is impossible to make a flying saucer machine that will generate its own timelike geodesic warp drive in which every thing inside is in weightless LIF free float with no g-forces, no need for pressure suits. In contrast to an LNIF observer fixed to the surface of the Earth, or even in a Phantom Fighter with afterburners on, the saucer appears to make a hairpin turn at Mach 10!112

Chapter 11 My World Line The Tibetan Connection

I relate a very uncanny Jungian synchronicity. I was attending a meeting of the AAAS at the Hilton Hotel in 1980.113 A man walked up to me noticed my name tag Sarfatti and said Are you related to Margherita Sarfatti? Yes, distantly. I replied. I have traced our family tree back a thousand years to Rashi de Troyes. My name is David Padwa. Padwa told me a little about the great French Rabbi. He claimed that one of Rashis daughters went to Spain and that her descendants formed our Italian-Greek branch after the expulsion of the Ladino-speaking Spanish Jews in 1492. He said we were distant cousins. He gave me his card. He was from Santa Fe, New Mexico. I mentioned the incident to Beat Poet, Gregory Corso. 114

Beat Poet Gregory Corso sleeping in my North Beach flat - photo by David Gladstone Corso115 said. Oh yeah, Padwa! I knew him in the Village. Hes a smart guy who made a lot of money from Xerox. He went with Ram Dass to India. Hes mentioned in the book Be Here Now as the rich American in the Land Rover. Hes a real heavy with the Dalai Lama. He brought Tibetan Tulkus to America. About a month went by. Dave Massetti, editor of North Beach Magazine back then hands me a letter from Padwa. I open it. Padwa writes that a strange thing happened to him right after he met me. He had been looking for the autobiography of George Gamows My World Line for six months. It was out of print. Mathematician Stan Ulam had told Padwa to read it. Padwa leaves me at the Hilton after the conversation about Rashi wanders over to North Beach and discovers My World Line on a shelf in Discovery Bookstore. He then goes to Ferlinghettis City Lights
113

I also met Marcello Truzzi within minutes of meeting Padwa shortly before John Wheeler attacked parapsychology in this famous meeting of the AAAS. 114 Photo by David Gladstone; the late Beat Poet Gregory Corso sleeping in my North Beach Flat 1980s. I took Gregory to a party at Lawry Chickerings in Sara Fernandezs Mercedes. Sara ran the Fritz Jewett Foundation. Herb Gold, Sandra Mossbacher and William F. Buckley, Jr. were there and, of course, Gwegowy made a scene! This was when Buckley asked me how to attack Carl Sagan on Nuclear Winter as we sat in the back seat of his black limo right before he went to TV station to debate Sagan. 115 David Padwa visited Gregory Corso as he lay dying.

The Cradle Will Rock Tea With Benito Mussolinis Mentor Margherita Sarfatti SARFATTI-GRASSINI, MARGHERITA A mistress, confidante, and biographer of Mussolini, Sarfatti was a highly influential figure in the cultural and artistic policies of the Fascist regimefrom a comfortable Venetian-Jewish family A woman of acute intelligence and sophistication, while still in her teens she became a militant activist in the Italian Socialist Partyand in the feminist movement along with such major Socialist women as Angelica Balabanoff, Anna Kuliscioff, and Clara ZetkinShemarried a Socialist lawyer, Cesare Sarfatti, and both became close friends and supporters of MussoliniTheir son Roberto (190018) who was killed in the war, was later an object of Fascist venerationIn the years during the struggle for power Sarfatti and Mussolini became intimate friends, and she exercised an increasing influence on himshe was dubbed the dictator of the figurative arts. Sarfatti was one of the most avid admirers of twentieth-century modernismher political influence enabled her tosponsor painters, sculptors and architectsIn 1925-26 Sarfatti was instrumental in founding the Novecento art group in Milan by 1934 their intimate relationship had endedThe final break came in 1938 with the passage of the Fascist anti-Semitic lawsIn 1939 she left Italy on a passport provided for her on Mussolinis instructions Historical Dictionary of Fascist Italy, Phillip V.

In the Rome flat of Marghertia Sarfatti, September 2008 - photo lvi I was at the Rev. Moon Unity of Science Conference on the Absolute at the Fairmont Hotel in 1980. I met Yuval Ne-eman [14] and Max Jammer from Israel. Ne-eman was quite interested in talking about the significance of the name Sarfatti to Jewish History. Ne-eman was, of course, talking of Rashi - the first Sarfatti [15]. Ne-eman has published an important paper on the fiber bundle mathematics of the quantum connection beyond space-time. Samuel Sarfatti was the personal physician to Pope Julius the Second. Samuel was a friend of Michelangelo. He taught anatomy to Michelangelo. Sarfatti used his influence with the Pope to get Michelangelo the commission to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. Michelangelo shows God reaching backwards to Adam. This is the perfect symbol for the root idea of my new physics that the future creates the past. God, evolved from man in our future, uses time travel to create the universe and man in what physicists now call a globally self-consistent loop in time.

117

Margherita Sarfattis father Amedeo Grassini was a long time close personal friend and financier to Pope Pius X. He was called The Popes Jew. Margherita was called The Uncrowned Queen of Italy in the 1920s. The Grassinis and the Sarfattis were related both by blood and marriages. Margherita, in her 1926 official Fascist biography Dux, wrote of Mussolinis alleged encounter with a Gypsy as child who foretold his sinister and tragic date with destiny. This, admittedly totalitarian propaganda piece, sounds like a Verdi Opera, very Italian melodramatic, I know. However, it is similar to Winston Churchills childhood experience as well as to my 1953 experiences. These precognitive prophetic events of the Destiny Matrix are common in, indeed at the core of the folklore of, human history in the stories of Moses, Joseph, David, Alexander, Caesar, Jesus, Mohammed et-al.

Part of my new physics message is that synchronicity can be an effect of contact with advanced intelligence able to manipulate the quantum connection in what John Lilly called cosmic coincidence control. This is a dangerous idea, but it may be true. It is a scientifically testable idea. Quantum devices can be built based upon it if it is true. I do not mean to imply that every paranoid fantasy by mentally disturbed people should be accepted on face value - but I suggest, some of the voices people hear might be from elsewhere. Each case must be studied individually in a scientific objective way. I think the extreme relativism of New Age thinking is wrong. True, there are many complementary points of view equally valid within their proper context, but the whole idea of physics is that there are objective absolute invariant truths The Occult Third Reich It was 1978. I had recently written a black comedy called Hitlers Last Weapon. It was about a New Age Guru who is the reincarnation of Hitler and becomes the first psychic dictator of the United States. This was not so far-fetched then nor is it now in 2010 when Orwellian political correctness is on the march even in England whose Labor Home Office has banned talk show radio host Michael Savage for his speech lumping him with terrorist murderers. My old boy Cornell chum, Lee Myers, had paid Steve Hill118 to make a twenty minute radio program of the script with British actor Eric Bauersfeld narrating. The program became a minor cult classic on public radio and is still played late at night. One day I was sitting on the terrace of the Savoy Tivoli on Grant Avenue in North Beach. I believe, but I am not certain, that Leila Minturn Dwight introduced me to a handsome young man of about nineteen that she said was her distant cousin from Munich. The young man, Eric (or Egon?) Hanfstaengl was here for the summer and soon became a regular part of my circle of Caffe Trieste cronies. Im not sure I got the first name right. I did not pay too much attention to him as I was more interested in meeting women and I have avoided parental roles. I did invite him to a party given by bon vivant Norwood Pratt. The young Hanfstaengl came in lederhosen and sang Tyrolean songs. In the course of casual conversations he had indicated that his grandfather Ernst Franz Sedgwick-Hanfstaengl - (a.k.a. Putzi) had played an important role in history. He was never specific. I did not realize then that his grandfather had been the Victor Borge of The Third Reich personally beloved by Adolph Hitler. I did not know then that the young mans father sat on Hitlers lap many times and called him Uncle Dolph. I did not know that the young Hanfstaengls grandfather was depicted in Syberbergs Our Hitler, which I had seen in a private showing at Francis Ford Coppolas home. The end of summer came. Young Hanfstaengls wife-to-be came, she was the daughter of the publisher of Der Stern. The two innocent children went back to Munich and I hope are living happily ever after.

Putzis book Unheard Witness is dedicated to his friend Oswald Spengler. Like many of the Sedgwicks, Putzi had a gift for writing.119 Here are a few tantalizing short literary bytes from his table of contents: My schooldays with Himmlers father - Sedgwick, Heine and Hanfstaengl forebears - Harvard and Theodore RooseveltThe American military attach speaks of Hitler-Introduction to an agitatorIntroducing Hitler to societyWagner on an upright pianoPlan for a putsch Hitlers attempted suicide in 1923 Hitlers 1923 suicide attempt foiled at last moment! Here hangs a tale in which the inaction of Putzis wife, Fr. Helene Niemeyer Hanfstaengl, could have prevented World War Two and the development of the atomic bomb by my Cornell physics professors who were at Los Alamos. In fact, what happened in this universe, was that she stopped Hitler from shooting himself in the head, at the very last moment, by knocking the gun out of his hand just as the police were about to enter. If Hugh Everetts really far-fetched version of Super Cosmos120 is correct, then, at that dramatic moment the quantum wave of the universe split into two Level 3lvii thoughtlike parallel universes. In the universe next door the Holocaust never happened and neither did the State of Israel. Philip K. Dicks Man in the High Castle depicting Hitlers Victory in a parallel universe really happens according to many mainstream physicists. Everything possible is actual in this crazy theory. Is it crazy enough to accept at true? Carlo Suares speaking from the occult Kabbalistic perspective said that Hitler was Gods Instrument for the Restoration of Israel. I do not think it was worth the price. Putzi continued: The log-chest in the corner of the fireplace in my library is still covered with the traveling rug I lent to Hitler when he was a prisoner in Landsberg. It was to my house in Munich that he came for his first meal after release from jail and where, nearly a decade later, he celebrated with Eva Braun the year of his triumph. Mine was the first Munich family of standing into which he was introduced in the days of his insignificance. I tried to impregnate him with some of the norms and ideas of civilized existence, only to be thwarted by the ignorant fanatics who were his closest cronies. I fought a running and losing battle against Rosenberg and his hazy race mystiquePeople have said I was Hitlers court jester. Certainly I used to tell him jokes, but only to get him into the sort of mood in which I hoped he would see reason. I was the only man who could hammer out Tristan and the Meistersinger to his satisfaction My mother was born a Sedgwick-Heine.

It was a delightful combination of business and pleasure. The famous names who visited me werePierpont Morgan, Toscanini, Henry Ford, Caruso, Santos-Dumont, Charlie Chaplin, PaderewskiI took most of my meals at the Harvard Club , where I made friends with the young Franklin D. Roosevelt. 122 Putzi finally fled Hitler in 1938 in fear of Goebbelss jealousy of Hitlers fondness for him. Putzis distant cousin FDR was embarrassed by Putzis presence in Washington and sent him to an obscure Army post in Texas. Sam Rayburn pressured FDR into accepting the Pentagon design for the new war office as part of the Putzi deal. FDR wanted another design. Francis Ford Coppola distributed Syberbergs film Our Hitler Putzi is a major character in that film. I did not realize the connection until years later. I saw Our Hitler around the same time that I met Putzis grandson in North Beach.

General Sedgwick was a popular charismatic leader who Lincoln was going to appoint as head of the Union Army of the Potomac that fell to US Grant. Sedgwick is alleged to have said Dont worry boys, those Rebs cant hit the side of a barn moments before a fatal wound to the head by a Confederate sniper. 122 I am reminded of September 1960 newly arrived at Brandeis University as a National Defense Fellow. I was on my way to the home of President Abraham Sachar. A frail old lady came up behind me and asked if I would help her up the small hill to Sachars house. It was Eleanor Roosevelt. She entered the party holding my arm. I also met Isaac Bashevis Singer sitting on a bench on campus. I had already read some of his novels.

Ciao! Manhattan My connection to the Sedgwick karma thickened because two years later in 1981, Leila Minturn Dwight introduced me to her aunt, Suky Sedgwick, who was Edie Sedgwicks baby sister. I fell in love with Sukys magical qualities. I did not know about Edie, nor was I consciously aware of the connection to young Hanfstaengl.

The Sedgwicks seem to have an Orphic connection to Hades as might have been imagined by Edgar Allen Poe. John P. Marquand, Jr., a Sedgwick himself writes: Have you ever seen the old graveyard up there in Stockbridge?

Suky played classical piano and was a great Italian cook. Like the Henry Jamesian American Princess abroad that she was, she had married an Italian count and was fluent in Italian as well as French. At the time I did not know that I could also have claimed Italian Nobility because of the Sarfatti Crest on a wall of the Synagogue in Venice given by the Doge - nor did I then know of the alleged Sarfatti Royal lineage collected below by Martin Dunn-Sarfatti.

Sarfatti Crest, Venice, Italy Sukys bedroom contained a leather-bound set of the autographed works of Rudyard Kipling that she inherited from her De Forest grandmother.123 Her grandmother nursed Kipling to health after a severe illness at their Long Island estate. British Parliament opened with God Save Kipling. and they sent a letter of thanks to Sukys grandparents.124 David Weismans and John Palmers film Ciao! Manhattan stars Edie. The plot involves a UFO contactee in a relation to Edie which strangely precognizes my future relation to Suky. I did not see the film until my romance with Suky was over. Sukys grandfather Henry Dwight Sedgwick wrote a prophetic essay House of Sorrow in 1908 in which he says that the future creates the past. His imagery is almost identical with that of Sir Fred Hoyles in his book The Intelligent Universe. I believed back then in the 1980s that the quantum force of destiny, or the Ghost of Henry Dwight Sedgwick, had guided me to Suky. I would not have known about Henry Dwight Sedgwicks idea that the future causes the past were it not for Suky.125

Chapter 12 More is Different P.W. Andersons Emergent Order

I was at UCSD in 1967126 where and when P.W. Anderson gave his first More is Different talk soon after his discovery of spontaneous broken symmetry. I had already written my HiggsGoldstone spontaneous broken ground state symmetry paper on the Goldstone Theorem and the Jahn-Teller Effect with Marshall Stoneham at UKAERE in Proceedings of the Physical Society of London cited in Resource Letter on Symmetry in Physics of the American Institute of Physics. I was also starting to teach as an Assistant Professor of Physics at San Diego State University.

Jack Sarfatti at UK Atomic Energy Research Establishment - photo Theoretical Physics Division 1966 I told Stoneham about Goldstone zero modes and Stoneham told me about the Jahn-Teller Effect in crystals with the Mexican Sombrero Potential.

Higgs potential for the coherent vacuum superconductor in the simplest model good for superfluid helium 4. The one we need for post-inflation emergent gravity has nine dimensions in order parameter space not the two shown above. Indeed its the same nine needed for the strong gluon force binding quarks into hadrons. There is a unification between Einsteins gravity and the strong force in my theory. We then did 1 + 1 = 2 a year before the time P W Anderson is talking about below. Stoneham replaced dislocation physicist Ron Bullough later as Director of Theory Group of Her Majestys Nuclear Establishment. It was Ron who invited me to Harwell. I would also go over to Culham Plasma Lab and to Oxford. I learned about Goldstone stuff directly from spying on Kibble and Abdus Salam in their offices at Imperial College of Science and Technology in London where I would go frequently from Harwell. I also met Bohm at Birkbeck then. Salam was a bit contemptuous of Bohms philosophical interests. Salam later invited me to IAEA/UNESCO Trieste, Italy in 1973 at a moment of high weirdness with SRI & Uri Geller as told by Martin Gardner in Magic and Paraphysics (Science, Good, Bad and Bogus) This new book More is Different (MID) Princeton, 2001 just came out. It is relevant to my use of broken symmetry in the superconducting physical vacuum, of off mass shell virtual particle antiparticle pairs and virtual boson condensates, to explain the zero cosmological constant, the anomalous acceleration in the expanding universe, Sakharovs idea127 that derandomizing the zero point fluctuations (ZPF) gives warped spacetime as a classical limit, elementary particles as Wheeler vacuum geons Mass without mass Charge without charge Spin without spin

127

Essentially misunderstood, in my opinion, by Haisch, Rueda and Puthoff in their attempts to derive inertia and gravity from the purely uncontrollably locally random electromagnetic zero point fluctuations. The latter is only a small piece of the normal virtual fluid component of the quantum vacuum of the unified field. You need the coherent virtual superfluid to get both inertia and gravity..

Broken gauge symmetry, which is exhibited by superconductorsWigners error the superselection rules the idea that it would be meaningless to have coherence between states with different numbers of particles, i.e. that ground states are always discrete eigenstates of the symmetries of the problem. This misses the possibility that macroscopic systems can have zero Goldstone modes, which restore the broken symmetry this concept I had encountered in my theory of antiferromagnetism in 19521967 this was before the renormalization group in statistical physics and more or less simultaneously with electro-weak theorys publication Even farther in the future1975 was to come the topological theory of order parameter defects such as vortices, flux lines, domain boundaries in terms of broken symmetry all of the properties crystal structure, metallicity, macroscopic quantum coherence, elasticitynuclei containing only ~ 100 nucleons exhibit unmistakable evidence of shape and superfluidity 130 Post-Inflation Emergent Hologram Gravity The Cartan exterior differential forms imply a kind of Dirac square root of Einsteins 1916 metric tensor spin 2 theory of the intrinsic curvature gravitational field.

This means, according to Gerardus t Hoofts work of ~ 1973 that quantum gravity should be renormalizable unlike the historical tensor version that is a composite of two spin 1 tetrad fields. The timelike geodesic LIF tetrad fields can even describe the zero g-force geodesics including light rays described by the Penrose-Newman null tetrads.

Nobel Laureate, Frank Wilzcek in his book The Lightness of Being describes the post-inflation multi-layered multi-colored vacuum superconductor. Just like the frictionless supercurrents in helum and superconductors are the gradients of the macro-quantum coherent Goldstone phases , similarly, it appears to me, that the four Cartan one form gravitational tetrad fields and their associated six Cartan one-form spin connection fields that couple leptons and quarks to gravity, derive from the eight massless gluon coherent Goldstone phases of the QCD SU3 strong force. That is, there appears to be a deep unification of non-compact T4(x) gravity with the compact SU3(x) strong force via a 4x4 M-Matrix from eight Cartan zero form super-potentials. In other words gravity comes from the disclination curvature and dislocation torsion distortions of what Hagen Kleinert calls the world crystal lattice, i.e. a 4D supersolid vacuum superconductor. Einsteins 1916 theory is simply the low energy limit of the lattice theory. Even more astounding is the idea that this 3D + 1 lattice is a back-from-the-future retrocausal hologram image of the 2D+1 surrounding surface future event horizon that houses the conscious VALIS131 Omega Point supercomputer of 10123 BITS that we call GOD(D). I will develop this in detail in my revised version of Space-Time and Beyond.

Chapter 13 Contact by Saul-Paul Sirag

Saul-Paul Sirag with Andrew Conway McClintock132 Rabbi, why does anything exist? Does the universe create itself? Does the universe need God? How is Jacks theory different from all other theories?133 The Godfather made an offer Carl Sagan refused It is well known that the movie version of Contact was based on the novel Contact, by Carl Sagan (published in 1985). Not so well known is the fact that the original version of Contact was supposed to be a mini-TV series produced and directed by Francis Ford Coppola.134 And thereby hangs a tale. The protagonist of the movie and the book is the astronomer Ellie Arroway. In the book she is described as driving a red sports car with the bumper sticker: Black holes are out of sight. Now the first time that Jack Sarfatti and I saw that bumper sticker was on Ellie Coppolas red sports car. So for us Ellie Arroway was a character who was a mixture of Ellie Coppola and Jill Tarter (an astronomer who has devoted her career to the SETI [Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence] project).

Erhard. Ellie was carrying a copy of the book Space-Time, and Beyond, (by Bob Toben, Jack Sarfatti and Fred Alan Wolf)135 which had just been published by Dutton.136 So Jack got to know Ellie and Francis, and began introducing them to his friends and contacts in San Francisco (and vice versa). In this way the Coppolas met Uri Geller (whose Spectra contact story intertwines this story) and Jacques Vallee, who became a consultant to Francis friend Steven Spielberg on the movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind; and in this movie Vallee was the prototype for the character played by Francois Truffaut.137 This meeting between Coppola and Vallee was in 1976, the year that I was hired by the Coppolas to tutor their son Gio in mathematics and physics. As basic reading material I used the book, Intelligent Life in the Universe, by Carl Sagan and I.S. Shlovskii. This was Carls first book (published in 1966) and he was sympathetic to the idea of possible ET contact in the period of the early civilizations in Mesopotamia (3500 BC). During that year (1976) I kept a notebook of ideas, called Time Travelers Notebook, and later got a series of (ever more insistent) requests from a Russian in Novosibirsk for a novel on time travel I was supposed to have written. (I havent written it yet, but maybe I will!) In 1985, when Sagan was writing Contact, he wanted to have the most accurate description of the idea of passage through black holes to other places and times of the universe. So he contacted his friend Kip Thorne, the Caltech physicist (a former graduate student of John Wheeler, and coauthor with Wheeler and Charles Misner of the seminal textbook, Gravitation). Kip told Carl that black holes were not the way to go but that wormholes might be feasible, provided they could be kept open with exotic matter.138 He put a couple of graduate students (M. Morris and U. Yurtsever) on the project, with the result that new ideas about time machines were published, creating a flurry of interest in the whole issue of time-machines.

Jacob Atabet at the End of Ordinary History lix Less well known than the Kip & Carl story, is the fact that in 1977 when Michael Murphy (the co-founder of Esalen Institute) was writing his novel Jacob Atabet I was tutoring Mike in physics and told him about Einstein-Rosen bridges (another name for non-traversable wormholes) with event horizons. 139

If, for smaller black holes of about ten solar masses or less, you attempt to hover on a nongeodesic you die from stretch-squeeze tidal forces (e.g. 15 g at 20,000 km above event horizon of 10 solar mass non-rotating black hole) as you get closer to the event horizon whilst still outside it without reaching the singularity where the same fate awaits you. None of this happens in a stargate, which is a traversable wormhole without an event horizon and without an interior singularity. - comment by Jack Sarfatti

[Note: I had learned about Einstein-Rosen bridges from the book Gravitation (1973) by Charles Misner, Kip Thorne, and John Archibald Wheeler. The picture of such a bridge is on page 837 and is taken from the 1962 paper by Wheeler and his graduate student Robert (Bob) Fuller, Causality and multiply-connected space-time, Phys. Rev. 128, 919-929. By 1975 Bob Fuller had become a close advisor to Werner Erhard. He organized physics conferences in San Francisco,140 was a director of the est Foundation, and was later put in charge of Erhards Hunger Project. Fuller resigned from that project, when Erhard spent a large amount of money supporting himself as a race-car driver. Jack and Fred and I met Bob Fuller, at various meetings, parties and dinners, when we became, for a short time, science advisors to Erhard, teaching physics to his est trainers.] This Einstein-Rosen bridge idea141 got into the Michael Murphys Jacob Atabet novel (p. 148), which was set in an apartment in North Beach, formerly occupied by Mike, who had handed it on to Jack Sarfatti. To some extent, Jacob Aatabet is an artist modeled on Jack. So, in a strange way, as Ellie Coppola is to Ellie Arroway as Jack Sarfatti is to Jacob Atabet; while I am to Mike Murphy as Kip Thorne was to Carl Sagan. Uri Geller meets Spectra My interest in time travel goes way back, but was especially piqued by my contact with Uri Geller and Andrija Puharich. in 1973, when I was writing an investigative story on Geller for Esquire (too controversial for Esquire, as it turned out). Geller and Puharich said that they had been contacted in various ways, but especially (in 1971) by voices on tapes (which disappeared) claiming to be Spectra a computer aboard a spaceship from the future. When Puharichs book Uri came out in 1974, Puharich gave a copy to Jack, who immediately passed it on to his mother, Millie

It pinches off crushing the traveler inside it. It was not until Kip Thornes solution that the idea became plausible. To repeat, because it is new and important if true, Jacks new local cosmological field idea has an exotic phase of the quantum vacuum /\ > 0 that permits Kips solution and also Alcubierres warp drive to be achieved as a matter of principle.

Ezekiels Vision By April of 1974, I had heard about Jack and had seen one of his papers, which had a reference to a time machine effect. I was then writing the libretto for a very avant-garde opera called Ezekiels Vision to be performed at the University Art Museum on June 7. I actually used a few lines from Jacks paper in the opera; and Tom Buckner, baritone, actually sang these words: We are creating the Kabbala right now. General relativity provides time machines in the form of closed time-like curves. It would be possible for a super-conscious culture to go back in historical time and create its own history on one of the space-time pages in the great book of the cosmos. 142 The idea of the opera was that what Ezekiel (cf. Ezekiel, chapters 1 & 10) saw in his famous Cherubim - Merkava vision was a Cabalist in a space-time vehicle going back to Babylon to see Ezekiels Vision. Rather than merely seeing the vision, he is part of the vision; and his efforts to see the vision help to create the vision. Notice that this is a self-consistent time-machine effect. That is, although the time traveling Cabalist visits the past to share in Ezekiels vision, he does not change it because he is part of Ezekiels vision. This is the self-consistent type of time travel to the past described by the Russian physicist Igor D. Novikov, The River of Time (1998). 143 [Jack has just met Novikov at the Festschrift for Kip Thorne at Caltech, in June 2000; and at this Kip Fest, Novikov described his idea of self-consistent time travel to the past.144] Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? P.K. Dick In May of 1974, I attended an Esalen sponsored conference in San Francisco, in which the physicist Nick Herbertlx (whom I first met at the Institute for the Study of Consciousness in October 1973) was giving a talk on the physics of consciousness. He cited two examples of the type of theory he was interested in developing: Evan Harris Walkers theory in which the hidden variables of quantum theory are identified with consciousness145 (The nature of consciousness, Mathematical Biosciences 7: 131-178, 1970); and James T. Culbertsons space-time network theory146 in which memory is not located in the brain but in space-time itself, the brain being merely the instrument accessing the memory (The Minds of Robots, 1963). During the question period, I mentioned that I had recently read a paper by Jack Sarfatti, which was a more cosmic model of consciousness involving the future affecting the present. This created a big stir, and the biologist Brendan ORegan (who was involved in the Geller research) spoke up and said that he

Jack wrote this several years before Kip Thorne wrote of an advanced technological civilization amplifying tiny wormholes into stargates and years before the many worlds or pages of Stephen Hawkings O Brane New World in hyperspace. 143 Jagdish Mann uses this idea in his romantic fiction Nefertitis Eye in this anthology. 144 This is also partly what Jack means by Destiny Matrix. 145 Sarfatti commentary: I think E.H. Walkers idea is completely wrong based on a misunderstanding of Bohms theory. The hidden variables are the fermion particles and classical EM fields. The mental fields are their quantum potential pilot fields, which do not become conscious until there is two-way feedback-control between the material hidden variables and their intrinsically mental pilot fields. 146 Roger Penroses spin networks in the pre-geometry basis for loop quantum gravity - Sarfatti comment.

knew Jack quite well, and that Jack had written a paper for the first issue of the journal Psychoenergetic Systems, of which Brendan was a staff member. I went to lunch with Nick, Brendan, and the physicist, Helmut Schmidt (who was doing research on retro-psychokinesis). Brendan told me that I would soon be meeting Jackwhether I could take him emotionally or not. Synchronistically, as we were walking along Powell Street to a restaurant, we passed a newspaper in a news rack, with the headline: Helmut Schmidt: now German Chancellor. I turned to Helmut and said; I guess you are now the Chancellor of West Germany! But, of course, Helmut was more interested in science than politics, so he laughed it off. (This is but one example of the strange doubling of names in this story.) On September 14, of 1974 (his 35th birthday, two weeks after my 35th birthday), Jack showed up at the Institute for the Study of Consciousness in Berkeley, where I had been the live-in research assistant to Arthur Young since August of 1973. Arthur (the inventor of the Bell helicopter) and founder of the institute had been studying strange phenomena for many years. He had worked with Puharich in the 1950s, and was the mentor to many people, including Robert Temple, who went on to write The Sirius Mystery (published in 1976). Arthur147 was very supportive of the research work with Geller, and had told me about Geller in 1972, when I attended a seminar he taught in the psychology department at UCB on his first trip to Berkeley. The graduate student, Ken Pelletier, who convinced Arthur to set up the Institute for the Study of Consciousness in Berkeley in 1973, sponsored this seminar. The reason I knew about this seminar was that Jeffrey Mishlove, a UC graduate student working on an M.S. in criminology (and later received a Ph.D. in parapsychology from UCB), mentioned it to me as possible material for a weekly column I had been writing since August 1971: The New Alchemy, on the far-out developments in science. It was because of my column that I had met Jeffery on his birthday in December 1971, and we had become good friends after running into each other again at a UFO lecture by Stanton Friedman, on the Berkeley campus in early 1972. I was always on the lookout for new material for my New Alchemy column; and shortly after meeting Arthur Young, I came across the book Breakthrough to Creativity, by Shafica Karagula, a psychiatrist who studied people with positive abnormalitiessuch as the ability to learn advanced physics by attending a dream school. Of course, I wanted to attend such a school! So I suggested to Jeffrey (who was also very fascinated by the book) that we try to get Dr. Karagula to give a lecture at UC. Jeffrey quickly extended that idea to organizing a conference of speakers to be sponsored by the Student Union on the UCB campus. This conference occurred in March 1973; and among these speakers was Andrija Puharich, whose entire talk was on the research with Uri Geller. This created a great hubbub in Berkeley, and various experiments were planned for the expected arrival of Geller. He came in April and did his public demonstrations at Zellerbach Auditoriumtelepathy PK ring bending and breaking, watch-fixing and so on. Before the show, he did a blindfold drive in a van full of people (including Alan Vaughan), through the winding roads of the Berkeley hills. Then there were smaller demonstrations, for instance in the physics department. This was not so spectacular. However, Uri did bend the wedding ring of one of the professors, who was impressed at first, but was talked into saying that he must have been hypnotized into a distracted state. He left on a trip to Alaska the next day. There were several other tests at various locations in the Bay Area.

Arthur Young was a key patron of Ira Einhorn who would visit the Institute in Berkeley several times.

Many accused Geller of fraud, i.e., the tricks of an accomplished magician148. Many others were impressed by at least some of the phenomena. For example, a crystalline structure could be cracked by Geller and then subjected to electron microscopy, and compared with a normally cracked crystal149 of the same kind. The most documented research with Geller was at the huge research complex, SRI in Menlo Park, near the campus of Stanford University in Palo Alto. Hal Puthoff and Russell Targ, beginning in 1972 and continued in 1973 carried this out. See, for example, Mind Reach (1977) by Puthoff and Targ. Ghost Busters

Jack, Saul-Paul and Fred Francis Ford Coppolas CITY, 1975 - photo It was in the summer of 1973 that Jack got involved with the Geller phenomenon. It happened like this. Jack was teaching physics at San Diego State University. He had just broken up with his wife, and was living with another SDSU physicist, Fred Alan Wolf, who had also recently split up with his wife. Freds old high school buddy, Bob Toben, arrived from Chicago out of the blue, with a book contract. Bob was fascinated with the Geller phenomenon, and wanted Fred (and Jack) to explain it. Bob tape-recorded their wild speculations; he transcribed this material; provided cartoon illustrations; then had Jack rework the explanations of the illustrations and provide an extensive annotated bibliography. Dutton published this in 1975 as the book Space-Time and Beyond. (This was the book, as mentioned previously, that Ellie Coppola was carrying when Jack first

met her in April 1975 at Werner Erhards Celebrity Training.) But, back in 1973, shortly after Jack first heard about Geller from Bob Toben, he was visiting his girl friends mother in Carmel Valley. He was about to go off to Trieste, Italy to work with Abdus Salam (a Nobel laureate by December of 1979) at the International Center for Theoretical Physics . He had only a few days to spend in Northern California. The Sunday Chronicle came out and in the magazine section, was a story (by Gail Sullivan) about the new parapsychology work in the Bay Area. Especially prominent was the account of Puthoff and Targs research150 with Geller at SRI. Jack immediately called SRI, and talked to Brendan ORegan, who had already heard about him, and invited him up for a visitwhich lasted 17 hours. Then Brendan drove Jack to Dean Browns house in Portola Valley, where a small group of scientists (including Hal Puthoff and Russell Targ) had gathered to discuss Geller and especially the ET-contact with-Spectra part of the Puharich-Geller story. Jacques Vallee had suggested the meeting but was not present. Curiously, Vallee, had himself spent a year working on RCAs Spectra 70 computer, before RCA completely got out of the computer business in the fall of 1971. (See The Network Revolution: Confessions of a Computer Scientist,151 by Jacques Vallee, 1982.) [Incidentally, a friend of mine, a graduate student in computer science, rescued a bunch of Spectra 70 computer manuals from a dumpster on the Berkeley campus, after UC got rid of its Spectra computer. I showed one of these manuals to Geller, and he was quite amazed! Andrija, look at this, look at this! is what he said. ] Back to Jack in 1973: at his first meeting with the group of scientists who were actively researching the Geller phenomenon, when the Puharich-Geller story of the voice (calling itself Spectra) on the tape recorder came up, Jack spoke up and briefly told the story of his 1953 phone message of a cold, metallic voice claiming to be aboard a spaceship. The voice said that he had been selected as one of 400 bright, receptive minds and that he would be meeting some of the others in 20 years. It is important to note that Jack, in 1973 (and to this day) remembered only one phone call. But as mentioned previously, when his mother read Puharichs book Uri in 1974, she remembered three weeks of phone calls that Jack was involved with in 1953. She was struck by the similarity between the description of the Spectra voice described in Uri, and the voice she heard on the phone, when she ended the series of calls by grabbing the phone out of Jacks hand and yelling into the phone, You leave my boy alone! [Note: the exact wording of Jacks story (in which he describes only one phone call152) is on a tape recording made by Frieda Morris at this 1973 meeting. She later gave the tape to me. It is interesting that this crucial piece of Jacks story is preserved in this manner. This was not a disappearing tape!] Jack went off to Trieste to work with Abdus Salam right after this seminal meeting in Portola Valley. The SRI scientists continued to work with Geller; and Puthoff and Targ published a

Sharon and Jack in Venice 1973 It should be noted that even though I had spent much time with Geller and Puharich in the spring of 1973, I had learned only about the disappearing messages (claiming to be ET) on tape recorders. There was also the red light version of ET, saying, Now you can see what we look like. And there were pictures of disk shaped UFOs that Uri had taken from airplane windows. I had yet to hear about Spectra and the hawk-like ET presence. 153

See also Chapter 11 of Remote Viewers: The Secret History of Americas Psychic Spies by Jim Schnabel. Colonel John Alexander told Jack that this book is reliable. The story in Chapter 11 is similar to the one here. It involves CIAs Kit Green, Harold Puthoff, Russell Targ and physicists from Lawrence Livermore Laboratory (LLL) checking out Uri Geller. Some of them were part of Elizabeth Rauschers Fundamental Physics Group at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory (LB). Green, at that time, had the same job Ron Pandolfi later took. Harold Chipmans role in this is mysterious. Jack Sarfatti wrote: Indeed, former high-level CIA officer Kit Green, MD and former NSA employee Hal Puthoff, both confirmed to me (by e-mail in 2002) the essential authenticity of this story that is clearly similar to my 1953 contact experience.

Horus, the Egyptian Sky God through the Stargate? Then in the fall of 1973, I began to hear stories from Ray Stanford in Austin, Texas, about an entity he called Spectra teleporting Rays car (on two occasions) while he was driving to the airport to pick up Geller. With these stories in the back of my mind, I was really shocked when the January 1974, issue of Analog hit the newsstands in mid December 1973. There on the cover, was the picture of a man in a white uniform, with a hawk-like helmet. His nametag read Stanford; and the title of the story was The Horus Errand. Note that Horus is the ancient Egyptian hawk-headed god. The story had to do with reincarnation in a futuristic Los Angeles, where agents, such as the hero Stanford, could guide the soul of a dying person into the body a pre-selected newborn baby. Now Ray Stanford (who bears a striking resemblance to the Stanford on the Analog cover) does believe in reincarnation, and so (as it turned out) did the illustrator of the story, Kelly Freas. He stated in a letter to Alan Vaughan (articles editor of Psychic Magazine at that time), that he had never met Ray Stanford, but ten years earlier had had a psychic reading done by Stanford (by airmail); for while Stanford lives in Austin, Kelly Freas lived in Virginia Beach, Virginia (because of his interest in the Edgar Casey research group located there). Kelly said that this psychic reading suggested that he had lived previously in ancient Egypt, where he was an illustrator of some kind. For this reason, he exaggerates any Egyptian symbolism mentioned in the stories he illustrates. In the case of the Stanford Analog cover, he painted the face from imagination (although he usually painted faces from photographs). This would seem to be an example of remote viewing, which was at that time being investigated by Puthoff and Targ at SRI. [Incidentally, the non-fiction article in that January 1974 issue of Analog was, Space Probe from Epsilon Bootes? by Duncan Lunan; so ET was in the air very strongly at that time.] The main reason that this hawk-headed Stanford was especially meaningful to me was that I had attempted to contact Uris ET presence in June 1973, while I was working on the Esquire story. Andrija and Uri had told me about the ET voice on disappearing tapes. They had also mentioned a red laser-light version of Gellers ET presence. They had not mentioned the Horus hawk version of the ET presence (or the name Spectra). My method of trying to contact their ET presence was to spend an afternoon with Geller, on my own turf (in a friends loft in Manhattan) while I was in the psychedelic state induced by LSD. Puharich was sympathetic to this approach, since he had done extensive work on psychedelics in the 1950s, including work for the military (see The Sacred Mushroom (1959) and Beyond Telepathy (1962) by Andrija Puharich). During this trip, at a moment I felt was right, I asked if I could make contact with his ET presence. He
uncanny bizarre metallic voice tape (and the one armed man banging on the door) story, told in Chapter 11 You cant go home again of James Schnabels Remote Viewers: The Secret History of Americas Psychic Spies, is important evidence of post-quantum objective weirdness with retroactive advanced signal-nonlocality in obviously paranormal human events of immense historical important (e.g. Churchills and Mussolinis childhood remote-viewing precognitions, the alleged precognition of 911 by Usama Bin Ladens terrorist followers etc.) and the plausibility of my own 1953 testimony. Colonel John Alexander (USA, ret) author of Future War and former head of Los Alamos National Laboratorys Nonlethal Weapons program, also corroborated Schnabels book in general to me about two years earlier. To stick our heads in the sand in denial is not wise.

told me to look into his eyes and tell him what I saw. I thought to myself, that I would probably only see some red laser-type light in his eyes, since I had already been told Uris mysterious red laser story. But I was very surprised to see not only his eyes, but also his entire head take on what I took to be an eagle shape complete with feathers going down to his shoulders. I jumped back a step and said, Uri, you look just like an eagle. He was very excited about this, but wouldnt reveal anything further about the ET presence. When, Puharichs book Uri, with its extensive and detailed Horus hawk stories, came out later in 1974, I understood why Uri had been so excited by my seeing him as an eagle while trying contact the ET presence. The Horus Errand Analog cover story of January 1974 had already sensitized me to parallels with the Puharich-Geller story. In fact, one of Kelly Freas Egyptoid touches on the cover was the large pyramid-shaped building in the backgroundwith a red laser beam shooting out the top into the sky. The pyramid-shaped building was not in the story itself, but was part of Kellys Egyptoid exaggerationsalong with the hawk-headed helmetdescribed in the story as merely a white and gold helmet. But the red laser beam shooting off the pyramid building was not in the story either, and could not be considered Egyptoid. It was close to what I had expected to see in Uris eyes when I saw his head suddenly become eagle-like. It is because of experiences like this that I take the ET part of the Uri saga more seriously than many other readers of that book.

The usual suspects 25 years later at Russell Targs house. Bell, Book and Candle By January of 1975 Jack and I were setting up the Physics Consciousness Research Group to conduct seminars on the new developments in physics, which were relevant to the understanding of consciousness. The main thing we discussed was quantum theory, and the recent work on Bells theorem. I had first heard about Bells theorem from the physicist, Nick Herbert, when I met him at the Institute for the Study of Consciousness in October of 1973. Bells theorem (1964, republished in Speakable and Unspeakable in Quantum Mechanics, J.S. Bell, 1987) was a simple mathematical proof that the standard predictions of quantum mechanics for a particular type of experiment (called an Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen experiment (EPR) -) were inconsistent with a description of this experiment that was both objective and local. Here objective means observer independent, and local means that no influences can go faster-than-light or backwards in time. The EPR experiment uses two particles that interact with each other, and then separate. According to quantum mechanics these two particles will continue to be correlated after their separation. Most people confronted with this statement, say, Of course they will be correlated because they separated from the same placeits as if I separated two sides of a coin and sent them off in opposite directions. They would continue to be correlated in the sense that if I found the head half in one location I would know immediately that the tail half was in the opposite location. In Bells terminology, this would be an objective, local description. The point of

155

Bells theorem is that the quantum correlation for the two separated particles is much stronger than can be accounted for by such an objective, local description. It is also important to realize that the EPR type of experiment has been performed in several different laboratories, first in Berkeley by John Clauser and a graduate student, Stuart Freedman (Phys. Rev. Lett. 28, 938-41, 1972), and later more definitively by Alain Aspect (with P. Grangier, G. Roger, & J. Dalibard) in Paris, (Phys. Rev. Lett.. 47, 460-466(1981); 49, 91-94 (1982); 49, 1804-1807 (1982)). The latest development of the nonlocality weirdness of quantum mechanics, is the work on quantum teleportation (Anton Zeilinger, Scientific American, April 2000.) The role of John Clauser, then a mere post-doc and now a physics professor at U.C. Berkeley, in this entire line of experimental development was seminal. His experiment was the small beginning, which led eventually to an avalanche of experiments. Elizabeth Rauscher, then a graduate student in physics at Berkeley introduced Nick Herbert and me to John Clauser in early 1974. We saw the second version of his experiment running, but the equipment was primitive and the data acquisition was very slow. Yet Clauser was able to extract very significant consequences from this experimentin fact he was redoing an experiment, which Richard Holt had done for his Ph.D. thesis at Harvard. Holt had results, which contradicted quantum mechanics; and this was terribly ironic, because Holt didnt want these results, whereas Clauser would have been quite happy with them. But when Clauser redid the Holt version of the EPR-type experiment, he got results consistent with quantum theory, and he made a good guess as to what went wrong with Holts experiment. At the time Elizabeth, Nick and I saw this experiment running it was still touch-and-go whether the predictions of quantum theory would hold up or not. Nick, ever the joker, asked Clauser whether there were any hidden variables hiding around his laboratorybecause its the local hidden variables154 that are ruled out by Bells theorem. Werner Erhard, est Many months later in early 1975, shortly after their est-training, I introduced Jack Sarfatti and Fred Alan Wolf to Clauser. On the way up to the Berkeley campus, Jack and Fred were trying out their est-speak on me. The occasion was a talk on Bells theorem by Costa de Beauregard, a French physicist155. He had been visiting Hal Puthoff and Russell Targ at SRI because he was interested in their remote-viewing research156, and the research with Geller. Hal and Russell brought de Beauregard to Berkeley, and we all met in the Physics department. Clauser, always ready for a talk on Bells theorem, came up from the Berkeley yacht harbor where he had been painting his sailboat. Moreover, because his experiment was completed (with results strongly in agreement with quantum theory), he was able to show us all through the insides of his

The hidden variables in Bohms quantum realism are nonlocal. That is, you can think of an electron approximately as a point particle with a continuous classical path. However, it feels a nonlocal quantum bit potential of active nonclassical information. The electrons path, though continuous, need not be differentiable, so there need not be a conflict with Heisenberg uncertainty even at this sub-quantum level. - Jack Sarfatti. 155 De Beauregard was from the same Institut Henri Poincare in Paris as Vigier, but with opposite politics and opposite philosophy about the paranormal. Vigier was a former Communist who pooh poohs paranormal. De Beauregard a right wing aristocrat who believed in the paranormal. 156 Role of French Military Intelligence here? Sarfatti comment.

experimental equipment.157 We also saw that he had placed a sign over his equipment that said: We have met the hidden variables, and they is us.Pogo. The French Connection De Beauregards talk had been about his view of the EPR-Bell theorem situation, which he interpreted as an illustration of the future affecting the present. This fits Jack Sarfattis idea of course.158 De Beauregard went back to Paris and encouraged Alain Aspect to do the definitive version of the Clausers experiment (with Clauser as a consultant) which required much more expensive equipment, and some clever devices. Thus Aspects experiment took until 1981 to complete, and was published in 1982. Later on Aspect came to SF and met with Jack at his apartment in North Beach.159 The impromptu talk by De Beauregard was attended by a number of keenly interested physicists: Henry Stapp, a theoretician at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory (LBL), and an expert on Bells theorem; Geoffrey Chew, who was head of the theory group at LBL; Elizabeth Rauscher, a graduate student at LBL, George Weissman, a graduate student of Geoffrey Chew, and Mike Nitschke160 an experimental physicist involved in creating trans-uranium elements. This de Beauregard meeting was a major spur to the weekly seminar led by Elizabeth Rauscher at LBL, which began in May 1975 and ran on for a couple of years. This seminar was called the Fundamental Physics Group and was focused on the understanding of Bells theorem and its implications. It was the genesis of several books: Gary Zukavs The Dancing Wu Li Masters, Nick Herberts Quantum Reality, Fred Alan Wolfs Taking the Quantum Leap. Fritjof Capra, had already written (but not yet published) his book, The Tao of Physics. Fritjof was usually present at the seminar; and in fact the very first meeting was a presentation of the ideas of this book. The Electric Kool Aid Acid Test The Fundamental Physics Group intermeshed with The Physics Consciousness Research Group (founded by Jack Sarfatti), and the Consciousness Theory Group (founded by me in 1977), which began at the Institute for the Study of Consciousness in Berkeley, and from late 1977 to late 1979 met at Henry Dakins161 Washington Research Institute in San Francisco. For twelve years, beginning in 1976 there were Physics & Consciousness workshops at Esalen Institute. The month-long meeting in January 1976 was led by Jack Sarfatti, and evolved into 5-day seminars led by Nick Herbert and me.

The January 1976 month-long workshop at Esalen (in Big Sur) led by Jack Sarfatti and me (as Sancho Panza) was a wild and woolly adventure. We invited various scientists interested in consciousness to participate for a few days at a time. I will describe some events of one day during this workshop. Fred Alan Wolf and I took an LSD trip during an outdoor lecture on consciousness and gravity by Claudio Naranjo (an expert on psychedelics, who had recently returned from Chile where he had led a group of Americans to participate in Oscar Ichazos Arica training.)162 During the lecture, Fred wandered over to the edge of the cliff overlooking the ocean. I started to worry about how he was taking his first LSD trip. He looked over the edge and said with a chuckle, Naughty, naughty! Dont go there! I was relieved when he came back to Claudios gravity lecture, rather than doing a gravity experiment! At lunchtime Fred and I didnt feel like eating so we spent some time looking at my Tibetan tanka depicting Avelokitishvara, the Bodhisattva of compassion. Jack came back after lunch with two messages. One was a package for each of us (Jack, Fred, and me) containing a book from Alan Laiken, called How to Get Control of Time in Your Life. On the first page of the promotional pamphlet accompanying the book was written the question: Are you making the best use of your time? We all cracked upFred most of all, in a laugh I will never forget. Just as synchronistic was the other message: Jack had just received a phone call from Timothy Leary, who was still in prison. He wanted to talk to Jack and me because we had sent him a packet of writing in response to a questionnaire that was making the rounds in 1975: what is your view of Higher Intelligence?And similar questions. Leary had been invited by Ken Kesey (author of One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest163) to edit a special edition of his small literary magazine Spit in the Ocean. Leary said that our material was the best thing he had received, and it was subsequently published in Spit in the Ocean #3, 1977. One of the pieces I had sent to Leary was a lightly fictionalized version of experiments run in 1975 by Nick Herbert on his metaphase typewriter, a quantum-mechanical open-mike to the void. The experiments (done at the U.C. Medical Center in SF) were plagued by very intriguing synchronicities, such as the words by jung, while Alan Vaughan was trying to influence (presumably by psychokinesis) the quantum source into typing out meaningful expressions associated with pre-selected target words. The by Jung phrase did not fit the target word but it seemed likewell, a Jungian, synchronicity. Where did that come from? we all asked, and a passing lab technician pulled out a copy of The Portable Jung from her lab-coat pocket, and said calmly, Maybe from here! Back at Esalen, on the afternoon of the Naranjo talk, Nick Herbert arrived with his friend Ralph Abraham, a math professor at U.C. Santa Cruz, who gave us a talk on and a demonstration of the newly emerging idea of chaos164 and fractals165. (See James Gleicks book Chaos). Abraham also told us about Rene Thoms catastrophe theory, which has played a very important role in my physics work of recent years (See my paper, Consciousness: a Hyperspace View, published as an appendix in Jeffrey Mishloves, Roots of Consciousness (2nd. Edition), 1993.) Incidentally,

Indeed, it was Jan Brewers tales of this to us at Esalen that prompted Jack to write the parody Hitlers Last Weapon, http://qedcorp.com/book/psi/hitweapon.html. George Koopman investigated Ichazo and Arica. 163 Jack Sarfatti saw the movie in Francis Ford Coppolas home with many of the people who made and acted in the movie. 164 An instability of Newtonian classical mechanics in which a tiny shift in a starting point rapidly causes a large deviation from the continuous path that the particle would otherwise have taken.

Jack published a long appendix paper in the 1st edition of Jefferys Roots of Consciousness, 1976. 166 Shortly after Learys call to us from prison, George Koopman called us from Southern California and wangled an invitation to Esalen. He seemed to know that Leary would soon be released from prison and that we had invited Leary to Esalen, and he wanted to meet Leary. He brought promises of funding to our newly formed group, the Physics-Consciousness Research Group, if he could participate from time to time. He told us that he had done his stint in the military by running the nut desk at the Defense Intelligence Agency. Question: was he still working for the nut desk, and were we the new nuts on the scene he was checking out? He told us that the two highest priorities for investigation on the nut desk were UFOs and the USSR. George did fund us for a while. He participated in a couple of seminars, most notably the EsalenWesterbeke Ranch seminar in the summer of 1976. After Leary was released from prison in August of 1976, Koopman befriended him and helped write one of Learys books Intelligence Agents about higher intelligence which was part of Learys SMI2LE program: Space Migration, Intelligence Increase, and Life Extension. Koopman also wrote part of Learys Neuropolitics (1977), and The Intelligence Agents (1978) Learys motto for this program was: The meek shall inherit the earth; the wise and strong move on. In consonance with this program Koopman formed the American Rocket Company. In 1986 he died in a single-car accident in the Mohave Desert on the way to a site where one of his rockets was to be demonstrated to prospective investors in his company. As a relative of the publisher of the New York Times, George Koopman was given a substantial NYT obituary. Koopman did not live to see the collapse of the Soviet Union or the much-increased interest in ETs and outer space, the two high priority concerns of the nut desk. However, he was also interested in movies. He was a financial backer of The Blues Brothers and got to know John Belushi and Dan Akroyd. He claimed that he had convinced the special effects team to drop the police car (from an off-screen helicopter) onto the high-rise roof to make a pin-point landinga simple application of Newtonian mechanics as he put it. He apparently used his experience with our PhysicsConsciousness Research Group to inspire various aspects of the Dan Akroyd film Ghost Busters, which captures some of the wildness of those days in which various groups formed and folded and intersected in a frenzy of evolving thinking at the interfaces of science, art and religion.

I dont remember her last name. But she came with George to Westerbeke. She ran an oriental rug store on Sacramento Street in San Francisco. George was a silent partner in the business, importing rugs from the Middle East (I dont remember which countries). But it might have been a cover for other activityof course:-) I visited the rug store and Emily after Westerbeke. She was still there when I moved from Berkeley to SF in November 1977 to the flat (owned by Henry Dakin) on Washington Street with Barbara Honegger. The picture was taken with Emilys camera; and she gave me the print of the Westerbeke picture at that time.

These intersecting groups functioned somewhat like the contemporary rock music culture of Northern California. There was an infectious sense of joyously uncovering the nature of reality. This reality was seen, via Bells theorem to be non-local and by some of the more exuberant thinkers to entail a backwards-in-time effect. Jack especially championed this view. Could it be that the present wave of interest in this idea (such as at the Kip Thorne Fest in June 2000) was affecting Jack way back then? Wheeler and Feynman They were among the first in 1940 at Princeton to introduce advanced potentials back from the future into physics and to realize that the Arrow of Time needed a boundary condition. Einstein and Ritz earlier had a debate that anticipated this retrocausality without retrocausality. Dirac in the 30s also realized that a consistent theory of radiation reaction and zero point energy virtual photons needs advanced signals on the past light cone of a point emitter in addition to retarded signals on its future light come. Hoyle-Narlikar and John Cramer extended this classical physics to quantum theory including cosmology. The discovery of dark energy accelerating the rate of expansion of the universe is the new form of Machs Principle showing that it is our future hologram horizon that provides the important boundary condition of Wheeler and Feynmans total absorber of 1940.

A Biographical Note: Growing Up in a Japanese Prison Camp by Saul-Paul Sirag I was born on Queen Wilhelminas birthday on August 31,1939, the day before Hitler invaded Poland and started WWII, which was two weeks before Jack Sarfatti was born in Brooklyn. However, I was born in Dutch Borneo very far from either one of those events. My Dutch father and American mother were Baptist missionaries to the Dyaks, but I spent less than a year in Borneo. My earliest clear memories are in Java during the Japanese occupation. From December 1942 to September 1945, we were imprisoned in concentration camps. The men were imprisoned in camps quite separate from the women and children. My father died in a camp only 10 kilometers away from our camp near Ambarawa, which we learned only after the war. In the spirit of a time-machine to the past I will recount three experiences from that concentration camp period which strongly influence my present preoccupations: numbers, physics, and consciousness. Every morning in front of our cell block, we would have to stand at attention and count off in Japaneseichi, ni, san, shi, go, etc. up through sanjuichi, sanjuni, sanjusan, etc. (somewhere in the thirties). Sometimes, we would have to stand at attention for many hours, in order for our cells to be checked for contrabandfor example, any books or pens or pencils. This everymorning counting in Japanese was how I learned to count; and I have continued to be fascinated by numbers. In the early morning, I used to count (mentally) before it was time to get up to see how high I could go. Sometimes I would get above a thousand, and that would make my day. From time to time I would ask my mother questions about the world outside the high cement walls of the camp Banju Biru (which had previously been a penitentiary). Especially important to me was to understand the overall structure of the Earth. Mother would tell me that the Earth was like a big ball, with our camp occupying a tiny little piece of it. I struggled and struggled with this concept, but found it impossible to clearly imagine such a thing. It seemed obvious that beyond the camp wall there must be a bigger wall holding in the island of Java, and beyond that a series of bigger and bigger walls, until finally there would have to be an immense wall holding in the sky. But the sky seemed to be too high to be held in by any such wall. So my wall model just didnt work. This to me is a parable of the necessity to go beyond preconceptions in our understanding of the universe. Another experience was more directly related to the nature of mind. In the camp (of around 5000 prisoners) my mother, my brother and I were the only English speakers. Everyone else spoke Dutch (and some Malaynow called Bahasa Indonesia). So Mother laid down a rule that we were not to speak English except privately in our one-man cell occupied by five people. English became a kind of secret, and sacred, language for Mother to tell Bible stories every night, which we had to repeat the next night before hearing a new story). This rule of no English except in private was hard to keep, so I would steel myself by playing a mental game that I called my Yah-But game. I would give myself a rule that I couldnt say anything. But since this was a game (in English) being played in my head, as soon as I assented to the rule by saying Yah (both English and Dutch for yes), I realized that I was breaking the rule, so I would say But. And then I would see that I was breaking the rule again at a higher level. I would go through a whole series of Yah-but-yah-but-yah-but- which could be punctuated as:

164

(((((yah) but) yah) but) yah) but And after each iteration of yah-but I would become more and more ecstatic, because I was breaking (and making) the rule at a higher and higher level. This is like the meta-levels implied by Goedels incompleteness theorem, which I first learned about in 1963 from Mario Savio in another prison, the SF County Jail, after our participation (with hundreds of others) in the Sheraton-Palace civil-rights sit-in. But that is another story. In any case, my Yah-But game was my secret method of getting high. However by the time I was 7 years old I was living in an orphanage, called Christs Home near Philadelphia. At that time I could remember dimly the emotional feel of the Yah-But game, but try as I might, I couldnt remember the simple rule for playing it. In 1965 I was in Berkeley experiencing my first LSD trip, and the whole experience of the Yah-But game came flooding backwith the childhood ecstasy generating rule: Im not allowed to say anything. Yah, but How could I not be fascinated with the nature of reality in all its guises, physical and mental?

Chapter 14 The Genius And His Golem by Jagdish Mann

A man who has seen the unicorn is not to be fooled by a pig. I write this is to go on record for what I remember of Gary Zukav and the writing of The Dancing Wu Li Masters and the role Dr. Jack Sarfatti played in it.168 I am in a good place to be a witness to this. I was around from its inception to its finish. In fact, some of the later chapters of the book were written in La Jolla and at my sisters house in El Centro when Csaba Szabo and I had, at Garys own request, taken him to get him away from North Beach for a month or so. When Gary first started working on the book, all three of us, Jack, Gary and I lived in North Beach and saw each other almost daily. It was Dr. Sarfatti who tutored him in the intricacies of quantum mechanics. Gary did not know any physics then. His MA was in psychology. There were hours of these tutorial sessions. Many of these took place in the Caff Trieste and are remembered by many other North Beach residents as well. But I also remember other situations where Gary asked and received technical information from Jack Sarfatti. Gary was nothing if not persistent and Jack nothing if not patient. One incident stands out in my memory Gary was at that time of his life, for all I know, still is, a totally single-minded person and brought an obsessive, and not always attractive, tenacity to his task. On this particular evening, Jack and I were both walking to have dinner with Marcia MacLain who lived on the corner of Green and Kearny when Gary found us. He had come with a purpose and right away barraged Jack with questions. After standing there for ten minutes on the street corner, I reminded Jack of the need to go. Gary just tagged along. As Marcia let us in to her second story flat, he climbed the stairs with us still bombarding Jack with his questions. He carried this on with only a perfunctory acknowledgement of our hostess. Marcia looked at me questioningly and I shrugged, so she put another plate on the table. All through the dinner, Gary stuck to his agenda, speaking between bites. After dinner, I escorted both Jack and Gary to the door and stayed behind to privately apologize to Marcia for having brought an uninvited and unappreciative guest to her carefully planned cooking. The last I saw of them from the second story window was them walking down Kearny Street, engrossed in an animate discussion. There is another important contribution that Jack Sarfatti made to the writing of The Dancing Wu Li Masters. He not only tutored Gary enough in physics so that he could ask intelligent questions from other physicists, he even introduced him to people like Dr. Henry Stapp, and took him to Esalen to meet many more.

I cannot say that without Jack Sarfatti, Gary Zukav could not have written The Dancing Wu Li Masters, but I can say with certainty, that without Jack Sarfatti, it would not have been the same book. It would have been more like Garys recent work, The Seat of the Soul, a book full of trite truths and platitudes held together with Talk Show spit. My commentary on Jagdishs essay.

The entry Jack Sarfatti in the original edition of The Dancing Wu Li Masters Cast of Characters was removed in later editions in a rewriting of history right out of George Orwells 1984. My original idea of superluminal transfer of negentropy is, of course, implicit in the modern theory of quantum teleportation even though a light-limited signal is needed to complete the teleportation at the nonlocal micro-quantum level of sub-quantal equilibrium with signal

The problem in ordinary quantum theory is that Alice in REGION A cannot control Bob in REGION B - that's signal locality - NO MAGICK In post-quantum theory Alice can control Bob at a distance - that's signal nonlocality - that's MAGICK WITHOUT MAGIC. It also works backwards through time.

I was standing in Patsy's173 kitchen in North Beach when I turned to her and said " Maybe I should try and make it work with Gary" she said " I think you need to know something about Gary and then you will finally leave" She then told me about the royalty promise made to you early on. Also, the fact he kept the secret about having a child but not taking the responsibility until he was well known and financially secure writing about the soul. He watched me be the other parent to my sister's daughter and never said a word about his own child. He demanded I see a therapist to stay in the relationship and when the therapist could see Gary's anger towards me the therapist wanted to see me alone. Gary was so controlling. I cried through the sessions not being able to speak. Gary went into a rage and that was the last time we saw a therapist. Gary said You have the therapist wrapped around your finger. He was Einhorn angry and I knew there was no future with someone so angry. I had become depressed living with him. On my last day at the North Beach apt moving my boxes out, our Italian landlady stopped me and said Gary is not a nice person and you deserve a nice person. I didn't say much but smiled and turned to her and said, "Thank you. Jack you can take any part of this. It is your story and unfortunately because of Gary's insecurities we spent little time together. My mother said it this morning: In some odd way long ago Jack did you a favor meaning it finally made me leave Gary.

Chapter 15 On the Hidden Origins of Reagans SDI by Kim Burrafato

I do not know how President Reagan arrived at his decision Edward Teller 174

Jack Sarfatti and Kim Burrafato in 1979 at Savoy Tivoli The following is a narrative of some of the events surrounding Jack Sarfattis seemingly significant direct input into the formulation of Ronald Reagans Strategic Defense Initiative that complemented Edward Tellers. Teller, of course, was the key. The world was a dangerous place in 1979. Afghanistan was about to be invaded, the Iran hostage crisis was looming on the immediate horizon, and the Cold War arms race was in full swing, with the Soviets threatening

to take the initiative in Europe, as well as in the overall strategic nuclear theater. I was Jack Sarfattis roommate at the time, in the movable feast175 that was San Franciscos North Beach.176 Close Encounters Jack was busily working on a fundamental reformulation of quantum theory that would both explain and include such sacrilegious elements as consciousness, gravity, and superluminal information transfer.177 One of the more provocative physical implications that emerged from his work was the possibility of interfering with ordinary electromagnetic energy propagation based systems inside spacetime using quantum action at a distance outside of spacetime.178 This leads to subject of UFOs, which has interested me since I was a child, almost to the point of becoming an obsession. One of the many peculiar physical effects described in numerous UFO close encounter cases was the interference with electromagnetic systems such as aircraft avionics, automobile ignition systems, and household electrical circuits. UFOs were described as being able to shut such systems down at will. Many of these well-documented reports were from reliable military and civilian witnesses. The movie Close Encounters has burned that idea vividly into the publics consciousness. That got us thinking: what if one could design a weapon that could neutralize electromagnetic energy based systems along the lines of UFOs selectively, and at a distance? We knew about the damaging effects of high-energy electromagnetic pulses on electrical systems, from research into hardening command, control, and communications systems against nuclear attack. Such enormous pulses will cripple or destroy any electronic circuitry exposed to them. But according to numerous witnesses reports, the electronic systems shut down by UFOs are not fried. They simply turn back on like a light switch being flipped on. Obviously, the ETs are employing some exotic new physics. If we could understand the physics involved in such cases of remote electromagnetic interference, then it would be a straightforward matter to engineer a revolutionary offensive and defensive weapons system. There were some tantalizing clues to how such an exotic physics might work. One of

This group included P. Siegel and Michael Weiner who is now Michael Savage on talk radio with an audience of least 8 million. Michael has was banned from Britain for his lack of political correctness (Liberals with Mental Disorders) and allegedly negative statements about Muslim and Hispanic terrorists, gay activists and his advocacy of Borders, Language, Culture. Michael maintains his remarks have been taken out of context by his political enemies and that the charges by the disgraced Jacqui Smith of the British Home Office are factually false. Michaels 2010 book Trickle Up Poverty on the decimation of the American Middle Class is alleged to have significantly altered the mid-term national election shift to the right. Ironically, leftists like Robert Sheer, co-founder of Ramparts in The Sixties with Warren Hinckle largely agree with Savages analysis of the sell-out of Main Street by Wall Street and Obamas connections to the forces that precipitated the September 2008 financial meltdown from the packaging of mortgages into securities/financial derivatives invented by string theory physicists that left millions twisting in the wind hanging by a thin thread- as it were. 176 In the half-century that North Beach has supplied a haven for waves of brilliant and erratic thinkers, few have rivaled Jack Sarfatti for comprehensive weirdness an what just might be original genius. by Jerry Carroll in Another Eccentric Genius in North Beach?

those clues arose out of the now famous Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) thought experiment. The EPR experiment was devised by Einstein to illustrate the bizarre paradoxes that could seemingly arise out of the quantum theory, when its physical implications were taken literally. Faster Than The Speeding Photon Einstein always considered the quantum theory to be an incomplete description of reality and the EPR thought experiment part of his great debate with Niels Bohr. Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen showed that, if quantum theory was a complete description of individual particles, its possible to design an experimental arrangement in which a new kind of quantum information or qubits and e-bits can conceivably get around in ways faster than a signal limited to the speed of light would permit. Indeed, Einstein did not like this consequence of quantum theory. It took another 35 years or so before an actual experiment was conducted to test this idea. Quantum theory was correct in this conclusion if one did not believe in parallel quantum universes.179 Jacks idea that I helped to trigger with my insistent questions over many hours at the Caffe Trieste in the late 70s was the globally self-consistent loop in time. A New York Science Times article from the Wigner Conference of the New York Academy of Sciences in 1986 cites Jack on time loops.180 However, back in 1979 Jack was unaware of similar ideas of Igor Novikov and Kip Thorne.181 So the idea of the UFO weapon was the paradox effect. Attempt to set up a time travel to the past paradox with the device you want to temporarily disable in the time loop. Jack later published this in September 1991 Physics Essays (University of Toronto) causing Lyle Fuller to come up with a very ingenious gedanken experiment in the manner of the Bohr-Einstein dialogues. The problem however with all this is that it violates the statistical structure of quantum theory. Although one can encode a message nonlocally, one cannot locally decode it at the receiver faster than the speed of light and even backward in time from the future. Even modern quantum teleportation of qubit information needs a light speed limited classical c-bit signal to make it work. Jack maintains that one needs a new post-quantum theory to do it. Quantum theory would then be a limiting case of this more general theory. Jack has made progress in this direction but that is another story that I do not have time for here From Russia With Love The frequency and magnitude of the ideas escalated until we were soon brainstorming about constructing a comprehensive umbrella over the US and its allies that would effectively shut down the guidance and triggering systems of any incoming ICBMs and their MIRV warheads entering its range. It didnt stop there. We thought: What a great way to end the Cold War and

These parallel quantum universes, as in David Deutschs The Fabric of Reality are not the same as, and are not to be confused with, the many classical material brane universes next door to ours in the hyperspace of Super CosmosSarfatti note. 180 This conference was chaired by the late Heinz Pagels who was a close friend to both Ira Einhorn and Nick Herbert. Heinz strongly attacked Jacks arguments for precognitive remote viewing in a phone call with David Gladstone. Oddly enough, Heinz died falling off a mountain near Aspen Physics Center. He had dreamed his death almost exactly and one finds it at the end of his book The Cosmic Code. Here is another tragic example of The Destiny Matrix we are all caught in. 181 Which may have come later after 1979? Saul-Paul Sirag traces Jacks ideas here back to at least 1973. Jacks idea, of course, goes back to his strange phone call(s) in 1953.

establish a mutually designed, built, and administered defensive system between the US and the USSR, and other willing global participants. Jack received a friendly postcard from one Professor Igor Akchurin, around Christmas of 1979. Akchurin was then a theoretical physicist of some repute from the prestigious Soviet Academy of Sciences in Moscow. Somehow, Akchurin had been included in Jacks extensive and often used mailing list. The message on the card was brief and cordialsomething along the lines of Happy Holidays and Best Wishes in the spirit of the New Physics. I remember that quoted phrase vividly. All hell broke loose after that. Jack immediately (and wisely) took that as a sign from Heaven. I dont know if it was Jack or me that suggested we write a letter to Akchurin, detailing our ideas about an ultra-high tech, mutually defensive ABM system.182 We even got into details about how once we (the US and USSR agreed to embark down that momentous and risky path, we could then start building down (dismantling) our offensive MAD-based missile systemsto everyone on Earths advantage. We even had the foresight to include mention of the future potential threat of rogue states getting their hands on nuclear weapons through proliferation, as well as terrorist groups. But there was an added dimension to this mutual defense system: the extraterrestrial one. What if some of the ETs flying around Earths skies are hostile? Just because any ET species capable of visiting this planet would be far more technologically advanced than us, doesnt mean they would necessarily be ethically or morally advanced. How might the planet defend itself, if faced with such a hostile ET threat?183 The kind of defensive system we were proposing might, if perfected, give us a fighting chance, or at least make it less attractive or likely for an alien species to forcibly interfere here. We included that element in the Akchurin letter, too. In other words, we had laid out Ronald Reagans, and Douglas MacArthurs184 (albeit prescient) entire SDI vision in a single letter sent to a top physicist in the most prestigious academic science institution in Russia. Of course, we knew that this letter would be intercepted and read by our people before going to the USSR. But that was our intention. What better ways to let those in positions of responsibility know what was really going on? Its easier getting a letter in the hands of a high level DOD or CIA Science Technology analyst that way, than it is writing to them directly. As expected, we never received a reply from Akchurin. Not to worry. The seeds had been planted.

As we go to press, President Bush has informed President Putin that America will proceed with anti-missile defense. 183 Curiously Francis Ford Coppola produces First Wave on the Sci Fi Channel that deals with this scenario in fictional form. Of course this is a popular theme and I do not imply any direct causal relation. 184 Colonel Phillip J. Corso, who wrote The Day After Roswell worked for MacArthur. MacArthurs speech, Duty, Honor, Country ends with a reference to ET War in space and also harnessing the cosmic energy. Jack, in a recent meeting (2002) with a high-ranking USG Intelligence Officer was told that in fact Edward Teller did think of SDI as also a defense against possibly hostile ET aliens. This really surprised Jack because Jack heard Teller say that UFOs were not real at public talks at functions of Rabbi Pincus Lipners Hebrew Academy of San Francisco in the early 90s where Jack was teaching. Teller was on the Board. The problem used to be if ET were here, how would he/she/it get here? Now with the parallel universes of Super Cosmos and the kind of stargate warp drive time travel physics Jack is working on, that seems less of a problem. Of course, this is still speculative and conjectural and Jack is first to admit he could be wrong on all of it.

Spurn Not The Nobly Born

A few months later a friend of mine, Leila Minturn Dwight186, showed up in North Beach.187 The Savoy Tivoli was the happening place at the time. It seemed like almost everyone who was anyone hung out there. We introduced the attractive young niece of deceased Andy Warhol diva Edie Sedgwick to the Savoy crowd. Leila fit right in. Not long after that, Leila introduced us to A. Lawrence Chickering. Lawry Chickering was heading up a newly formed neo-conservative think tank based in San Francisco at the time. The Institute for Contemporary Studies was set up by soon to be Reagan cabinet members Ed Meese and Cap Weinberger, and others, to study key cultural and political issues of the time. 188 One of the first big issues that came up in conversations with Lawry was the significance of the New Physics to everything from geo-politics to religion. Chickering189 had read Gary Zukavs190 recently published New Age book on the development of the quantum theory, The Dancing Wu Li Masters, and had, consequently, developed a keen interest in physics and its relationship to philosophy and theology. Since Jack was instrumental in the writing of the physics parts that book191, his words carried even more weight with Chickering. Jack spent hours with Lawry, discussing the cultural significance of his emerging post-quantum theoretical worldview. Chickering made it known to us on more than one occasion that he had the ears of Republican presidential candidate Ronald Reagans potential cabinet members and advisors. A number of Jacks Memoranda for the Record were later passed on to key people192 in the newly elected Reagan Administration. Coincidentally, around the same time, Jack was also introduced by telephone to Cap Weinbergers son, Cap Jr. through Joe Lynch, a mutual friend of ours. Although Jack and Cap junior never met face to face193, Cap Jr. quickly became a fan of Jacks, and stated he would also forward some of Jacks material to his father.194 We were flabbergasted when Ronald Reagan gave his first major foreign policy speech of his new administration on

Iolanthe, Gilbert & Sullivan Descended from Timothy Dwight, first President of Yale. Lawrys grandfather and Leilas great grandfather, Henry de Forest, ran the Southern Pacific Railroad with E.H. Harriman including a private railway car now in the Southern Pacific Railway Museum in Oakland, California. - Sarfatti comment 187 San Francisco 188 Jack introduced Stephen Schwartz to Lawry Chickering. Chickering hired Schwartz at ICS. 189 Lawry was also close to Esalens Michael Murphy and Jacks old Cornell teacher, Herb Gold. 190 Zukav has since attracted a huge following because he is being promoted by Oprah Winfrey. Jack, arms flailing about wildly laughingly aping Mel Brooks, calls Gary Zukav Oy vey Jose, my Golem, My Frankenstein Monster run amuck! 191 Not the New Age jargon in it, which was Garys original contribution like in Seat of the Soul. 192 Especially Paul Nitze. 193 Joe Lynch, allegedly a member of The Society of the Cincinnati was the go-between. George Washington served as the first President General of the Society of the Cincinnati from December 1783, until his death in 1799. http://www.hereditary.us/cin_history.htm 194 Which he did. Jack received a letter from Cap Weinberger Sr. on DOD stationary thanking him for the material. Cap Jr. said that Jacks ideas were discussed explicitly between Reagan and Cap, Sr. in the White House. Jack presented the detailed ideas of Hollywood billionaire, the late Marshall Naify. Marshall presented a detailed Star Wars plan in a crucial lunch at Enricos in 1981 with Jack and Lawry Chickering. Reagan, of course, knew who Marshall was, whether Reagan was aware of this connection we do not know. It would be an interesting topic for a historian. Marshall financed the James Bond movies with Al Brocoli. See also Meteor with Sean Connery. Indeed Marshall had one of the black Aston-Martin convertibles from the Bond films. Jacks report on Marshalls Vision went to Paul Nitze.

March 23, 1983. His now famous Star Wars speech, as the then openly anti-Reagan liberal press condescendingly termed it, blew our minds when we read the transcripts.195 It was as though hed taken all of our ideas and elegantly distilled them down to a version that the American public could easily understand. Never has there been a more exciting time to be alive a time of rousing wonder and heroic achievement. As they said in the film, Back to the Future: Where were going, we dont need roads. Well today, physicists peering into the infinitely small realms of subatomic particles find reaffirmations of religious faith: astronomers build a space telescope that can see to the edge of the universe and possibly back to the moment of creationAmerica met one historic challenge and went to the moon. Now America must meet another to make our strategic defense real for all citizens of Planet EarthThe American dream is a song of hope that rings through the night winter air. Vivid, tender music that warms our hearts when the least among us aspire to the greatest things to venture a daring enterprise; to unearth new beauty in music, literature and art; to discover a new universe inside a tiny silicon chip or a single human cell. - Ronald Reagan, State of the Union Address, 1986

195

Reagan also specifically alludes to Jack in his 1986 State of the Union Address where he says physicists have found evidence for the existence of God in their equations and he mentions Back to the Future. This was two years before Hawkings questions in a Brief History of Time. The origins of these remarks can be traced to his discussions with Cap Weinberger, Sr. on Jacks ideas.

The Famous Chickering Letter 196

196

To Richard DeLauer at DOD. Note reference to untappable unjammable command control communications years before IBMs Charles Bennett et-al introduced quantum cryptography, dense coding and teleportation. Chickerings letter is more important today in 2002 because of Jacks argument below that the no-cloning theorem of quantum computers may not be correct. This would mean stand alone nonlocal quantum C3 that does not need a classical signal link. Chickerings letter was inaccurately described by Jeremy Bernstein in The New Yorker article Quantum Engineers on John S. Bell, by Murray Gell-Mann in The Quark and the Jaguar on Flap Doodle and by N. D. Mermin in Physics Today. Note reference to The Dancing Wu Li Masters and CIA Memorandum for the Record that Lawry had a copy of. Gary Zukav removed much of the final chapter on Jacks ideas in later editions and did not pay Jack the 10% of royalties to the book that he had promised and agreed to in front of several witnesses including myself. One physicist at the New York Meeting, Dr. Jack Sarfatti of San Francisco said that he not only believes that faster-than-light communication is possible by means of time loops, but that he is trying to attract backing from the Defense Department Malcolm W. Browne, Quantum Theory: Disturbing Questions Remain Unresolved, New York Times, Feb. 11, 1986, p. 25. See also NOVA and Ultra Science TV shows on Time Travel citing an experiment in Germany in which Mozarts 40th Symphony allegedly is transmitted fasterthan-light by quantum tunneling of photons through a barrier. Ray Chiao of UC Berkeley disputes this however. Jack met William F. Buckley, Jr. at Chickerings house around the time Buckley was debating Carl Sagan on nuclear winter. Buckley asked Jack what he thought of the issue. Jack had first met Buckley with Norman Thomas in a church in Manhattan in 1956 as a Cornell Freshman. Jack also spent several hours sitting with Itzak Rabin and Edward Teller at the home of Rabbi Pincus Lipner when Jack was teaching at the Hebrew Academy of San Francisco. Jack had met the prominent San Francisco businessman, Alvin Duskin, also ~ 1980 and told him about prospects for zero point energy. Jack ran into Alvin only recently at the San Francisco Bay Club. Alvin told Jack that his meetings with him 20 years earlier significantly influenced him to get into the alternative energy business (flywheels from Lawrence Livermore Laboratory). Curiously, Alvin and Lawry Chickering were working together on the Educate the Girls Foundation for Muslim women. Alvin and Lawry visited Jack and Creon Levit at ISSO in the Dakin Building at 3220 Sacramento Street to look at the possibility of sharing office space. They wound up at the Presidio.

Chapter 16 The Real X-Files 2010

CIA's not so 'fair game' of spies, lies, and fMRIs? Gary S. Bekkum October 21, 2010 Before Valerie Plame's CIA outing, there was Ron and the White House Hamsters. Years before Valerie Plame was 'outed' as an undercover CIA operative, another government employee bearing an untold three-letter legacy was allegedly dragged through the mud and eventually marched before the Senate Intelligence Committee. The story was told in a series of Pulitzer prize winning articles by New York Times writer Jeff Gerth, and cited by the Congressional Research Service history of the Clinton Administration's China-gate affair. Ken Timmerman of NewsMax added a few alleged insider details to the tale, which was largely forgotten until British author Jon Ronson's expose' of high-strangeness in the US government, The Men Who Stare at Goats. The strange tale of spies, lies, and now, fMRIs, begins with the Internet, and a long list of the 'unusual suspects' who were pursuing alternative means to an end: paranormal access to the top secrets of the defense industry. Ron Pandolfi, the CIA scientist who challenged the political climate of the Clinton Administration, by warning of the danger of missile technology transfer to China by US contractors, had moved from the real world of Chinese rocket science into the cloak and dagger shadows of an imaginary friend. When Dan T. Smith, the eccentric son of President Eisenhower's former tax advisor from Harvard, claimed he had been tasked by Pandolfi for reasons clear only to Smith himself, Pandolfi winked, and the rest of the world yawned in disinterest. It did seem, to all concerned (or at least those on the receiving end of Smith's voluminous Internet postings) that Ron had little if any real interest in Smith's tales of end-ofthe-world eschatology and CIA intrigue. At least that was how it was meant to be seen from the outside looking in. Pandolfi, it has been alleged by Smith, fired the first shot in this cosmic affair with the CIA, by declaring a trip down to Los Alamos to "visit the aliens" -- allegedly extraterrestrial visitors being held by the government. Smith returned the favor, by posting the 'news' on CompuServe, apparently (according to Smith) igniting a salvo of phone calls about what, if anything, might really be going on. And then there were the alleged meetings Smith had with Chris Straub, of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, including at least one with both Pandolfi and Straub, assuring Smith that the government had the "phenomenology problem" firmly under the control of some "very competent" experts.

185

It was about this same time that Secretary of Defense Robert Gates (representing himself as the former CIA Director) told Ted Koppel of ABC News Nightline about the twenty-year history of government research into psychic phenomena -- including years of tasking spies to use their minds to access the secrets of the former Soviet Union during the cold war. The psychic stuff was interesting, but not of direct concern to Smith, who believed he was destined to announce the un-reality of the whole world to the unwashed masses at large. Suddenly Pandolfi found himself in another conflict: Senior CIA officials were not happy about his attempt to open the Chinese can of spies and slapped down his contribution to a National Intelligence Estimate. Instead, according to the account by Timmerman, Pandolfi was put to work in an empty office to develop 'alternative energy' and to keep him out of agency politics. When the China-gate affair finally did break out on Capitol Hill, Pandolfi was brought in to provide testimony. As all of this was taking place, a young and brilliant Internet innovator named Joe Firmage announced that he had been contacted by an extraterrestrial visitor -- or at least that was how the media went on to spin Firmage's tale of his vision, at the height of his success. The fall out from Firmage's personal 'outing' cost him his job running the company he had founded, and briefly pushed him into the limelight of the UFO community. Firmage went on to assemble teams of alternative scientists including Jack Sarfatti from around the world to discuss the possibility of building starships to travel to the extraterrestrial worlds of his imagination. About the same time Smith appeared, claiming support from the CIA, and pointing to his relationship with Pandolfi as proof positive that the intelligence community shared his concerns. And here is where the entire affair begins to gel into something more than a curious psychological fantasy: some of the 'spies' -- persons known for their association with America's Intelligence Community -- appeared to be networking on line, and started asking a lot of questions about what was going on behind the scenes. In hindsight, the turning point appears to have been the events of September 11, 2001, and the explosion in the use of contractors by the Intelligence Community. In a private video interview distributed in 2005 by San Francisco based physicist Jack Sarfatti, Dan Smith relates that Pandolfi had apparently experienced another fall from grace when CIA rejected draft reports claiming "no weapons of mass destruction" would be found in Iraq. During the video, Sarfatti adds that Pandolfi had been to San Francisco, accompanied by military escort, looking for information on alternative physics researcher Dr. Hal Puthoff, and the funding of alternative science and research by Las Vegas billionaire Bob Bigelow. At the time, rumors of 'breakthrough physics' buzzed throughout the aerospace community, fueled largely by tales of antigravity beam weapons from Evgeny Podkletnov in Russia. When

186

Firmage assembled his teams of researchers, he brought together Russian and French scientists with their American counterparts, exactly as Congress had requested in the early 1990s, during the secret phase of US paranormal research. A mutual associate of Pandolfi and Dr. Puthoff, former CIA analyst Dr. Christopher Kit Green, began to share his belief, based upon numerous anecdotal tales from senior US government officials, in extraterrestrial encounters, even as he pursued the latest in mind-reading fMRI technology for the new war on terror. Smith, who appeared to be pursuing his own 'disclosure' agenda, jumped at the chance to engage Green, via Pandolfi, regarding the paranormal aura that remained among some Washington policy consultants. One private email message from a former CIA analyst -- provided by Smith in 2005 -- claimed Richard Helms, the late Director of Central Intelligence, had related the same UFO extraterrestrial contact tale now circulating on the Internet. The same source to Smith privately confided an understanding that the government had indeed been contacted by an alien intelligence, at least three times: in 1947, 1983, and 1992. The 'smoke monster' cover story was blowing through the mirrors, and everyone involved soon took cover under the lunacy of the situation. As if this wasn't enough, the world of academic espionage began to take advantage of the situation, now mired in tales of extraterrestrial aliens living as guests of the US government, and breakthrough antigravity and mind-reading psychic paranormal activities held in the dark recesses of secrecy. Of course, it had all happened before, as the CIA revealed in 2004, with the release of nearly 90,000 pages of formerly secret documents about the STARGATE project. A connection emerged between the odd tales of paranormal affairs and The Arlington Institute, a D.C. area think tank run by futurist John L. Petersen. Petersen had been identified in a declassified document as the person who revealed the likely existence of STARGATE to the Undersecretary of Defense, in the early 1990s. When Firmage appeared on the scene, with his teams of experts, Petersen's institute included an affiliation with James R. Woolsey, the former CIA Director known for his interest in alternative energy sources. When President Dwight D. Eisenhower's great-granddaughter Laura Eisenhower Mahon was introduced to Petersen in July 2006, she was accompanied by Richard Dell, Jr. At the time, Dell was pursuing alternative technology, including the use of nuclear powered rockets, for interstellar travel to the Moon and Mars. Later, Ms. Eisenhower-Mahon came forward with a bizarre tale of recruitment by a super-secret black ops organization involved with a secret Mars outpost colony. In another curious twist to the tale, Ms. Eisenhower-Mahon's mother, Susan Eisenhower, is a key Obama energy consultant. Dell later met up with an associate from the United Kingdom -- Caryn Anscomb, who had met Pandolfi via Smith, and was forwarding various tidbits of information to on-line publishers and forums -- at Dr. Hal Puthoff's Institute in Texas. Ms. Anscomb also contributed a series of articles to STARstream Research called "Trickster Tales" (available at the STARpod.org website). Later, it was alleged that Pandolfi suggested Ms. Anscomb might be working for MI6,

187

the British Secret Intelligence Service. Anscomb denies the allegation, as does Pandolfi, who did, however, tell us Ms. Anscomb had asked "inappropriate questions" about his "real work." Meanwhile, another Internet publisher claims to have been approached by military intelligence from Fort Meade, to spy on foreign nationals, including at least one Iranian scientist, and provide targeted information intended to dis-inform America's rivals in the alt-science community. Following Smith's expose' of an alleged falling out between some of the most visible players in the spy games, Pandolfi stepped in and sponsored an official Office of the Director of National Intelligence study on alternative gravity technologies being sought by an American-Chinese alliance. Pandolfi's associate Green, the expert on the use of fMRI for brain scan mind-reading, had left for a new position in Beijing, China. (By way of disclosure, this author introduced Green to a Beijing based researcher interested in mind to mind communication technology. Later, we were informed by the Chinese researcher of a possible experiment, allegedly proposed to take place at the Puthoff Institute in Texas.) Pandolfi eventually tasked Smith to look into Afghan mouse-like hamsters, for reasons unknown. At the time, Smith voiced his opinion that Pandolfi was working closely with the Obama White House, from the nearby Eisenhower Executive Office Building. Questions of Pandolfi's sanity in the disturbing on-line affairs were followed by questions of Agency culpability in allowing the Internet madness in the first place. In the end, we are left wondering about past transgressions of the Intelligence Community. The Internet's 'Wild West' nature offers unlimited possibilities for friend and foe alike, in the tit for tat world of spy games. Green's former boss, Richard Helms, may or may not have told a tale of extraterrestrial contact (the so-called CORE STORY), but the public record clearly connects Helms to the paranormal research, and the earlier and far more disturbing violations of MK ULTRA mind control research. And now, thanks to the Internet, 'they' are there, with you, whenever, and where ever 'they' wish, whoever they might be.

Where Art, Angst, Love, and Strong Coffee Meet

Herbert Gold, Jagdish Mann, Jack Sarfatti, North Beach, 1999 I love this book! It is a fascinating and hilarious magical mystery tour of that unmapped land called Bohemia writes Pat Conroy, author of The Prince of Tides.

Jack, the late Enrico Banducci and Jagdish (2000 AD) in fond memory of the many good times with the late Marshall Naify, who partnered with Al Brocoli, was a key financier of Ian Flemings James Bond movies starring Sean Connery.

John Updike gets into the act Herbert Gold is a distinguished author and journalist in San Francisco. He has just published a history of Bohemia that will appeal to both cultures literary and scientific. Gold has joined company with John Updike whose books; The Witches of Eastwick and Rogers Version explain the New Physics better to the public than Hawkings editors did in the over-hyped Brief History of Time. Sukie steered the conversation away from herselfVan Horne talked about himself, his hopes of finding a loophole in the Second Law of Thermodynamics198. There has to be one, he said, beginning to sweat and wipe his lips in excitement, and its the same fucking loophole whereby everything crossed over from nonbeing. Its the singularity at the bottom of the Big BangAnd what kind of a force is it that operates across space instantaneously and has nothing to do with the electromagnetic field?Theres a formula out there, and its going to be as elegant as good old E = mc2. The sword from the stone, you know what I mean?Sukie laughedWhy couldnt a wild man like Darryl blunder into one of the universes secrets? pp. 134-5 The Witches of Eastwick

198

Updike appears to allude to my work on coupling a hot negative quantum temperature heat reservoir to a cold positive classical temperature reservoir in a Carnot Engine. One then gets complete conversion of heat to work from both reservoirs in a quantum loophole to the Second Law of Thermodynamics. Updike certainly knows the Sedgwicks alluded to in Eastwick. He also has a lot of things to say about superconductors in this passage in the full version.

Tom Pynchon was in some of my classes.199 Gold was filling in for Vladimir Nabokov who was off writing the screenplay for Lolita. Herb introduced me to European literature (Dostoyevski, Goethes Faust, Tolstoy, Proust). I would see him outside of class either in Willard Straight Hall or in Noyes Lodge where C. Michael Curtis200, Kirk Sale, Richard Farina, Peter Yarrow201, Tom Pynchon, Sergio Sismondo and other emerging literati and people of talent would gather. Curiously and uncannily enough, Noyes Lodge was given to Cornell by the grandfather of my far future Grand Passion Suky Sedgwick of six years in honor of her grandmother, Julia Gilman Noyes. Sukys grandfather on her mothers side was Rudyard Kiplings close friend and a partner of Railway Baron, E.H. Harriman. The entire story is to be found in the book, Edie, by George Plimpton, editor of the Aga Kahns Paris Review, and Jean Stein, heiress to the MCA super-fortune left by her father, Jules Stein. Even more remarkable is the fact that her paternal grandfather wrote an essay in 1908 that anticipates the New Physics in which the Future causes the Past. Herb Gold explains all this in Chapter One of his book fitting me into the Bohemia of Jack Kerouac, Gregory Corso and Lawrence Ferlinghetti in that sizzling cauldron of creativity that is San Franciscos North Beach. Gold connects North Beach of the latter 20th century to the Bohemia of Vienna, Paris, London and Greenwich Village of years gone bye. Golds richness of prose is a joy to read. Golds book should be made into a docu-drama. Like Mel Brooks, Yiddish Vaudeville would have been for me, were it not dead and were I not partially waspified by the Cornell Savoyards in my tender years when I first met Herb at Telluride House in the Groves of Academe in 1957. It was in Ithaca with Herb Gold that the imprint of the Penelope archetype was made on my Wandering Jewish Soul that appeared in my future liaisons with several Amazon Women who run with Wolvesand bite like them too!

Look who has it now! by Trevor Ravenscroft, The Edge of History203 by William Irwin Thompson, and An End to Ordinary History by Esalens Michael Murphy.204 Golds prose in this book is very rich with literary images. If one were to check them all out one would get a very good liberal education. The book Techgnosis by Erik Davis gives the historical background to put a context on what all this means. Herb writes: America may not have been greened, but it was boheemed. p.13 Bohemia is a nonlocal virtual community linked by cultural telepathy, the quantum voodoo of Bells theorem, the sympathetic magick of Aleister Crowley, the Chapel Perilous of Robert Anton Wilson, the occult morphogenetic fields of Rupert Sheldrake, the implicate order of David Bohm, faster than the confined speeding photons bouncing higgledy piggledy in the tiny fiber-optical tubes of that magical information super-highway promised us by Clinton, Gore, Gates and Clarke,

though seen long ago by Ted Nelson. Bohemia is the highest form of the modern solid Republican neo-conservative idea of the free market economy, it is the purest expression of democracy, and it is the transubstantiation of Saint Augustines City of God to Planet Earth. Like ailanthus, the tree of heaven, Bohemia grows in any alley where theres a bit of fertile dirt and noninterference. p.14 Talking about me, Herb writes: The Bohemian physicistcontributes a balanced scientific non establishment for this expanding society. I dont mean to disparage the work; eitheramong all the blatherers there sometimes appears a breakthrough thinker. Originality has always required a fertile expanse of fumble and mistake. Thats the beauty of the option.

Causality-Violating Quantum Action-at-a-Distance Lecture at SFSU By Dr. Jack Sarfatti

Jack at the Caffe Trieste ~ 1991 The universe is created by intelligent design but the Designer lives in our far future208 and has evolved from us 209Perhaps all of the works of cultural genius, from the music of Mozart to the physics of Einstein, have their real origin in the future. The genius may be a real psychic channeler whose mind is open to telepathic messages from the future.210 The genius must be well trained in his or her craft and intellectually disciplined with the integrity of the warrior in order to properly decode the quantum signals from the future. The purpose of our existence would then be to ensure, not only the creation of life on earth, but also the creation of the big bang itself! We obviously cannot fail since the universe cannot have come into existence without us in this extreme example of Borgesian quantum solipsism. Existentialism is wrong because it is an incorrect extrapolation of the old physics. Bretons surrealism, with its Jungian idea of meaningful coincidence, is closer to the truth.

Princetons Richard Gott has a new book Time Travel (2001) with essentially this idea years after I suggested it starting around 1973 based on my contact in 1953. 209 The influence of Harvards Henry Dwight Sedgwick on my thought here is obvious. 210 This precognitive remote viewing funded by the CIA and the DIA, as told in James Schnabels Remote Viewers: The Secret History of Americas Psychic Spies, is a violation of quantum physics but not post-quantum physics. The mathematics of this is in papers by Antony Valentini. 211 Book by Robert Anton Wilson 212 Heinz Pagels in The Cosmic Code also talks about this as well as his own dream of his death that came true. Usama bin Laden talking of his 911 Attack on America, mentions such precognitive dreams in the horridly evil videotape released by the Pentagon.

Dream of the Grail. Enough of my subjective vision, now on to the objective physics. pp. 1516 I open a page randomly (in deference to the hard-boiled skeptics who believe that the Universe is sound and fury and that we are accidental) to Golds chapter Israel and on p.115 I find: So now I am in the first hour of one of my deaths. The thought made me dizzy. I was reminded of Jack Sarfatti, Ph.D. physicist and reincarnation of the eleventh-century mystic Rabbi Sarfattiwith rapt descriptions of how events from the future cause events in the past.

Chapter 18 Nefertitis Eye a short story by Jagdish Mann

PROLOGUE A romance across centuries On December 6, 1912, a team of archaeologists unearthed the statuette of Nefertiti in Tell elAmarna, once the site of short-lived capital city of the rebel pharaoh Akhenaton. This likeness of his queen had lain buried and forgotten in the dry sand for more than thirty centuries. The discovery of the site of Akhenatons short lived capital city was one of greatest

213

archaeological find and made Ludwig Borchardt a celebrity in Europe. Until the close of the Nineteenth Century, nothing was known of Akhenaton and Nefertiti, not even their names. This was no accident. Right after Akhenatons death (some say murder), their names were systematically chiseled off the monuments, their faces were defaced from statues and their new city of hundred thousand, with wide boulevards, parks and gardens was razed to the ground, its very bricks stolen and carried off. To this day, it remains an unparalleled example of petty spite and vindictive vandalism. Still, the attempt did not succeed. In fact, as this story shows, it failed spectacularly and beyond all imaginings. First, there were the ubiquitous storytellers, poetizing and pantomiming their tall tales, hiding within fiction the facts of a prophetic Pharaoh preaching of One God. And, there were also the stories about a nameless queen. "She was so beautiful, O beloved listener that my tongue is speechless with awe", would say the storytellers. The awe was, at first at least, often aided by the fear of the censor. But like all censorship, this too had the opposite effect. Nefertiti, forbidden to be mentioned, became a legend. Then with the onset of the modern scientific archeology and increasing successes in deciphering of hieroglyphic and cuneiform writing, a plausible narrative of Egypts Eighteenth Pharoanic Dynasty began to jell. Reactionary hammers were not entirely Naziffeceint and failed to disfigure everything. The border stele in the remote areas had survived the destructive fury of the priests; and the letters and messages sent to foreign capitals and written on clay tablets had also escaped the censor's reach. Archaeologists began to read these dispersed messages and started to fill in the empty chiseled-out spaces on the monuments in Thebes and Karanack. By 1900, a picture had emerged of a pharaoh who was courageous or crazy enough to defy one of the most enduring, powerful and entrenched establishments the world has ever seen, that of the priesthood of Amun. He challenged their old orthodoxy and started a new ethics based monotheistic religion and erected a beautiful city 300 miles North of Thebes, away from the old oppressive temples of Amun. Reaction to this rebellion was swift and complete. Within a year after his death, nothing remained of his religion or his city. A concerted and organized effort was made to wipe out even the memory of his reign. But what about the queen herself? Was Nefertiti as beautiful as the myth hints and the carved epithets proclaim? The answer emerged from the sand with the discovery of the bust of Nefertiti. It was dug up near the small town of Tell el-Amarna in Egypt. A team of archaeologists working for the German Orient Society and led by Professor Ludwig Borchardt of Berlin had been excavating the site. The team was convinced that they had located Akhetaten, the short-lived Capitol City of Akhenaton. They were allowed to dig the site in the name of the Government of Egypt.

214

The first person to lay eyes on Nefertiti's face in 3300 hundred years was Mohammed Ahmes EsSenussi. On this day of December, he was digging in room 19-grid p-47. The area was divided in grids measuring 600 square feet and each grid was assigned, one digger per grid. Mohammed Ahmes Es-Senussi, a young Arab digger, taciturn and with graceful movements, assigned to grid P-47, and according to him, by Fates. When his shovel loosened the impacted sand to start a small cascade of sand, his eyes had the first glimpse any human had of this magical object in three thousand years. In the slanting rays of the afternoon sun, the gold and green colors of the queen's necklace were aflame. He stood still for a moment, mesmerized. Then he put his shovel gently on the ground and knelt down on his knees and began to brush off the remaining sand of her face. She had lain buried head down in this nest of debris for all this time, safer than she would have been stored in a temperature controlled bank vault. If those eyes could see the young fellahin bending over her on his knees, she would have been pleased. He may even have reminded her of someone she had once known. And she was used to people kneeling before her. But she could not see him. She was only a statuette, a sandstone figurine barely twenty inches tall, even if she was in near perfect condition. The only visible damage was the chipped earlobes, broken off cobra-head decoration on her crown. Also the inlay of the retina for the left eye was missing. A shout from Mohammed brought all the picks and shovels to a stand still. The great man himself was sent for from his makeshift hut where he slumbered on a canvas cot after a heavy midday meal and strong German beer. One look and the Professor had no doubts of the archaeological value of this find. Greed was to come a little later. Ludwig Borchardt, the respected archaeologist became a smuggler and smuggled the little bust out of Egypt disguised as broken pieces of pottery. The Egyptian Government found out about the theft soon after from Mohammed es-Senussi, who perhaps was the only person in this whole affair without dishonest motives. The catalyst for Mohammed's complaint, however, was Rasool the water-carrier. He was a spy for a team of French/Swiss archaeologists also working in Egypt. "Do you know Mohammed, the foreigners have stolen the statue you found and have taken it to the land of the infidels? Now only the fat professor will get credit for it, and much money. But it was not he who found it but you. As Allah is my witness, I saw that with my own two good eyes." Rasool said to Mohammed es-Senussi. Mohammed, his curiosity triggered, went to the Germans and demanded to see his find. In a surprisingly incompetent attempt to placate him, they showed him a different figurine, trying to pass it for the real thing. Right away, he knew that Rasool was telling the truth. A man who has seen the unicorn is not to be fooled by a pig. Mohammed Ahmes es-Senussi went straight to the Antiquities Department of the Egyptian Government. Unfortunately, no one paid any attention to him and the statuette ended up in Germany. When the truth about this theft finally came out, the German team was expelled from Egypt, not allowed to return for the next eighty years. The bust, however, was never returned to Egypt and is now on display in lonesome splendor in Das Egyptische Museum in Berlin. In order to find the missing pieces of the statuette the sand and dirt from room 19 (more than 30 cubic feet) was sifted again and again through a finer and finer mesh. All the ear chips and broken snakehead in the crown were finally found but the eye inlay was never recovered. Only

215

later in Berlin, a closer examination revealed that it was never inserted. There are no glue marks in the left eye. Many theories, some likely and others far-fetched were advanced to explain this unexplainable flaw in this otherwise flawless artwork. It was suggested, for example, that the artist was interrupted at his work and left the workshop with the inlay in his possession, never to return. Or that the artist had fallen in love with the queen as she posed for him, was jilted by her; and in an impotent revenge, refused to complete his own greatest masterpiece. This is not as far fetched as it may seem at first blush. The queen was known to be free with her favors and capricious with her affections. Another theory was that Nefertiti had gone blind in her left eye and the artist opted for honesty. Prevalence of eye disease in ancient Egypt gives credence to this claim, as does the unique and innovative style of this artist, Thutmose. The graceful curve of the long neck, the arched eyebrow, the hint of a Mona Lisa smile on her full lips is a far cry from the symmetrical frozen immobility of the traditional Egyptian statuary of the time. This view too had to be abandoned, however, when new wall reliefs and other three dimensional figures were found. Some of these were clearly by the same hand that had carved the famous bust, that of Thutmose. These show the queen at a later and older age with both perfectly good eyes. No satisfactory consensus has ever been reached to explain this intriguing archaeological mystery. If time travel to the past is theoretically possible, then here is one imaginative explanation: THE FUTURE The Earth is dead. It has been dead for ten centuries, give or take a century, depending how you define dead. Dead or not, it is still Mother Earth the cradle of humanity, even if humanity is now scattered all over tarnation in the Universe. Bursting with vigor in the freedom of space and reveling in the abundance of livable planets, humanity is not thinking of mothers and cradles, and definitely not of this empty husk of a planet. Has not this always been this way? World, after all, did not die by fire or by ice; it was killed by man-made pollution, poisoned by toxins synthesized in high-tech laboratories. The Biblical prophecy that the meek shall inherit the Earth has finally come true, albeit the inheritance is a barren piece of real estate. After despoiling the planet, humanity fled to the stars, leaving behind a few scientists still obsessed with some arcane curiosity of their own and, of course, monks of various faiths who still hark to their religions for some sort of understanding of the absurd and explosive exuberance of humanity. Humanity, in her trillions now, has no time for such naval-gazing. It is busy going fourth and multiplying and, thanks to Space Travel, it is going and multiplying everywhere except Earth. The only ones who are moved by the phrase cradle of humanity are these few persistence scientists and even fewer monks. These are the meek. The Diaspora Council, to its credit, is generous to any one who wishes to make their life on Earth. Maybe it is an expression of some atavistic guilt; but whatever the reasons, The Council has never refused the Academy of Antiquities any tools of research it requests. In addition, it spends a lot of money in all the major planets colonized by humans to encourage young people to develop a passion for the past, especially for Earth. Since the top age limit for Cadets (Yes, that is what

216

they call them; use of military terms is wide spread in human governing institutions) is thirteen years old, it is a hard slog. It is impossible to make the young look backward with any passion. Nature of life is onward; direction of life is forward. Tomas Safari did not have that problem. To him, it seemed as if he was born looking backward. In his romantic and unscientific moods, (Kept entirely private) he felt he was looking backward even before he was born and maybe even before that. He was a soul caught in a circular timeloop. The only thing he had ever looked forward to was the day he could use the Time Machine to go back in Time. He was homesick for the past as if he had already been there. Academy of Antiquities had the sole authority on the Time-Machine and its use. Well, maybe Time-Machine is not quite the right word for this contraption. It is more like a Time-Slingshot; it simply flings you backward and you hope you land in the period you wanted. And you had better like it there because you are not coming back; it is strictly a one-way trip. Tomas Safari is not thinking of coming back. He can hardly wait to be flung backward. The Academy, as is well known, is extremely conservative in approving the use of the TimeMachine. Most of it is due to the usual inertia and timidity of Academics institutions through out history. Once, there was a genuine fear of dangerous paradoxes involved in Time travel but no one believes any longer that you can go back in time and kill your own grandfather in his infancy. Still the fear lingers. Another reason is that the Academy does not want to become some ones source of subtle suicide scheme. Except for the missing body, this one way time-trip is a form of death. Fortunately, Tomas Safaris single minded obsession about Nefertiti was a proof of his motives. He was no suicidal nut but a driven scholar wanting to expand his research, a magic word for the members of Academy. He was heartily approved to try his luck in the Past. For the first thirty centuries after her creation, Nefertitis bust was buried in the sand. No one laid eyes on it and its existence was unknown. However, once found, she was never to be forgotten again. Like a magical object, this bust enchants any one who beholds it. Everyone who has seen it speaks of it as if they were speaking of a living being. From the first day of her discovery, artists and tyrants alike have been falling under her charm. Other things may change but all through the ensuing centuries, Nefertitis image constantly lures and captivates the human eye. Tomas Safari maybe the last to be smitten but he was by no means the first. We can only imagine how Nefertiti was in the flesh but the statuette is forever, stable as a stone, unchanging and timeless. First European victim of her charm was the architect Ludwig Borchardt himself. After holding the bust in his hands, he was incapable to let it go. Describing her is useless, she must be seen. -Something to die for-, he wrote in his diary. At the least, it was something to steal. For eleven months, he hid the statue in his own home on the Island of Gezirah-Zamalek before smuggling it out to Germany. The grateful Kaiser decorated the architect turned thief, and later appointed him honorary cultural attach at the German Embassy in Cairo. Hitler, when he saw the bust in the museum in Berlin, declared it an Aryan Treasure, conveniently overlooking the fact that neither the subject of the bust nor its creator was an Aryan

217

but a Semite like the Jews he was bent upon annihilating. Neither did it matter to him that the archaeologist, who unearthed her and stole it for Germany, was also a Jew who had to escape for his life from Nazi Germany to Switzerland. The bust of Nefertiti not only survived the Nazis but also survived further centuries of catastrophes that befell all Arts before the Diaspora. Humanitys struggle to survive on the increasingly depleted planet was not a kind time either to humanity or her Arts. Only on the eleventh hour, humanity was saved from certain extinction by Space Travel. The last collective decision made by mankind as it bailed out, and perhaps the only sensible one ever made under such stressful conditions, was to declare all human Art on Earth as Common Heritage and built a permanent storage/museum on Earth. Now, Tomas Sefari was poised to trace one Art object to its origin. Would he retain his obsession on the other end of Time? Would he remember who he once was? Everyone at the Academy hoped the best for him but no one held his breath. THE PAST Tomas Sefari hovered in the clouds over a bluff, looking down as if he was god Horus the hawk. Below him the Nile was a wide ribbon of shimmering water speeding to meet the Mediterranean. A sea of wheat fields spread on both side of the river as far as the eye could see; some harvested, tied in neat bundles and arranged in straight rows, others ripe and ready, yellow as the sands of Sinai. The sky was turning pink in the East; the sun will soon rise. His feet felt the ground and ripe wheat stocks blown with the gentle breeze rubbed his ankles. He was in the land of the Pharaohs. The 'River of Time' has brought him here to the land and time of his dreams, the time of Nefertiti. He was here but he was not himself. He has ceased to be Tomas Sefari, once upon a future archaeologist. He was now Thutmose the artisan. Certainly, now, standing on the fertile land of Sacred Egypt, he was Thutmose the artisan and no one else. A boulder polished by ages protruded like a tax collector's heart in the middle of the wheat field. Here the plowman had connived with necessity and bent his furrows around the unyielding rock, creating a thing of beauty, a place of power, a place to welcome the morning sun, maybe even a time traveler. He walked towards the boulder as if pulled by it. The boy bolted from under the rock; sleep still in his eyes, and fear. Thutmose grabbed him and held him, smiled at him and offered him a piece of bread, the universal symbol of peace. Where had the bread come from? He does not remember that the bread was baked in a far future oven according to an ancient Egyptian recipe and now it was helping break the language barrier for the two strangers. Fate rules the world. Never were two people better met than Thutmose and Jabedi, a time traveler and a run away slave. Jabedi taught Thutmose the Theban language, guffawing at his mispronunciations; Thutmose taught Jabedi to carve soapstone into figures and to whittle faces from the driftwood. They wandered along the Nile, always going north, Thutmose prompted by some subliminal longings, Jabedi just to get farther and farther away from his sadistic owner. Almost preordained, their friendship deepened.

218

One hot afternoon, thirsty and tired from the dusty road, they came upon an inn. The walled courtyard with its gate wide open was inviting. Men snoozed in the shade of trees on thick papyrus mats or sat talking and drinking beer made by the innkeeper. Tethered donkeys dozed under palm trees, resting only as a beast of burden can. In the shade of an old fig tree, a woman cooked in an outdoor kitchen.

Emboldened by his hunger and taunted by the aroma wafting from the flaming brazier, Jabedi walked up to her. "Mistress, for the price of a meal, my master will draw the likeness of thy face which is more beautiful than the full moon of the harvest season". Said Jabedi, his voice a dry croak. "Drink!" she pointed to the water pitcher. "Drink some water before you flatter me or sell your

219

master; and give him some too". Thutmose did not draw the likeness of Dulea, the cook and the proprietress of the inn; he painted it in bright living colors on the huge adobe wall of the inn overlooking the Nile. In the mural, Dulea stands in her outdoor kitchen, the brazier flaming next to her. The fig tree, with its lush green leaves and pregnant with fruit, fills and forms the background. Bundles of onions and garlic hang from the wall. Foods of all sorts: a roasted duck, a fish on a hook, a basket of bread and bunches of fruit sit on the raised counter. Surrounded by this cornucopia, her arms full of green vegetables, she looks abundant, like an Earth Mother. And you could see the mural from miles. Business of the inn boomed. Dulea was the greatest fan of her own picture. She found many reasons, some quite odd and others totally transparent to be on the river in her little boat. "No matter where you go, the eyes follow you". She said proudly. "She is happier than a Pharaoh's daughter". Said her taciturn and adoring husband, Juma. And then the Pharaoh's soldiers came. Thutmose was putting finishing touches on his second mural for the Inn, a bird's eye-view of the Nile, this one painted on the front wall. It shows Juma standing next to the waterwheel that hauls the river water for the use of the inn's gardens and guests. Below him, filling the horizon is the Nile. On its broad back float sluggish barges and swallow-swift sailboats; and anchored far in the distance, a royal galleon, colorful as a firecracker. With the clatter of hooves, dust, and barking of orders, the soldiers rode into the courtyard. Fear hung sweat thick in the Inn. People herded themselves near the kitchen, vainly seeking security in the company of others just as helpless. The soldiers brought nothing but death and slavery to the common man. "Where is the one who painted that?" demanded the officer of the horsemen, pointing with his spear to the wall mural. Not an eye raised or a muscle moved. Thutmose put his reed brush down in the water bucket by his side and looked up at the horseman, his artist's eye admiring the deadly craftsmanship of the spear-maker. "Keep thy eyes cast down, O artisan. Provoke them not". Whispered Dulea to him, trying to be discreet but her panicked hiss heard by all but Thutmose. "Foolish woman, bringing attention to herself". Thinks her husband, sensibly still and silent. "It is I", said Thutmose, walking towards the officer. Jabedi thinking it was a stupid thing to do, followed anyhow, close on his heels, but still giving lip service to prudence and keeping his eyes mostly on the ground.

220

"Are you also the one who painted the picture that can be seen from the river?" Inquired the officer, already, his voice had lost its harshness. "That is so". Replied Thutmose, pride of his work in his voice. To every one's amazement, the officer climbed down from his horse. "Sir!" he said, bowing, "You are asked to present yourself for an interview with a person of importance. A boat will collect you tomorrow morning at the Inn's docking. This tunic is sent for your use". He gave Thomas a bundle. Hardly anyone slept that night. The inn hummed with gossip. Who was this person of importance? Who was Thutmose for that matter? All attempts to talk to Jabedi or pump Dulea for information failed, leaving a field for speculation rich as a compost pile. "He is a banished Prince of a far land. Now that the cruel regent is dead, he is to go back and rule his native land and free his sister and mother from the dungeon where they have languish for many years". Said the storyteller with an entirely unjustified confidence. But a less fanciful explanation offered by the donkey-driver, delivered with visual aids, held more sway. "Look at my donkey over there, just look at her', he pointed to the donkey. "Now, look at this'. He passed around a small papyrus sheet. Thutmose had done the handsome animal justice; the charcoal drawing had captured the vitality of the young beast. "As anyone with eyes can see, this man Thutmose is a damn good painter of pictures. The tax collector has heard of his talent. He is going to decorate his tomb. Even now, if you take the trouble to look, there is a galleon anchored on the Nile to take him to the city of the dead". The donkey driver did not know how uncannily close to the truth he had come. It was not the tax collector but Nefertiti, the queen of Upper and Lower Egypt, who had seen the mural on the wall. The sun was shinning on the mural as the queen's galleon passed by. The peasant woman looked alive, her eyes following the royal barge. Painted leaves seemed to move in the breeze and the queen thought she saw a bird dive for the painted figs, mistaking it for a real fruit. Even Hetusha, her chamberlain agreed that yes, the wench's eyes follow her majesty with admiration. "Bring him to me Hetusha," she ordered. "The man that painted that mural, bring him to the barge. Make sure he is treated with respect. No harm must come to him. We need men like him to build the New Capital". Akhenaten, the new capitol of Akhetaton and Nefertiti, was the first planned city in history. In 1359 BC, one hundred thousand workmen and artisans arrived at the virgin site, a barren desert

221

(Egyptians never used arable land for building) on the western bank of the Nile, midway between Thebes and Memphis. In less than four years, they built a city with broad avenues, lush gardens; great temples dedicated the sun god RA. There were elegant homes, ostentatious palaces, all built to last. That they did not was not the fault of the builders. Thutmose was the master sculptor of the 'city of dreams', and the most favored of its queen. And he loved her with all his heart. No woman was ever painted or sculpted with more passion for perfection than Nefertiti by Thutmose. He sketched her as she posed for him in her different and mercurial moods, he chiseled her likeness in alabaster, granite and sandstone. As he knew her more, his art transcended tradition and time and touched the face of eternal beauty. On the thirteenth day of Peret, in the year 1355 BC, Jabedi brought a load of sandstone blocks to the workshop. One small block (2'x2') took Thutmose's fancy. He carried it to his private workplace. His body shivered with the cool touch of the stone, his mind filled with strange premonitions. He closed his eyes and clearly saw the statute embedded in the stone. For the next two months, in secret, he coaxed the stone, chisel stroke by gentle chisel stroke, to release the face hidden within. Slowly the graceful neck, the high cheekbones and the curved brow began to emerge, and the sensual lips of the queen started to smile at the artist. Still in secret, he painted the bust with loving care. But the statuette stayed sightless. Thutmose could not bring himself to insert the eye inlays. Finally, when he could find no more excuses, he forced himself. His hands shook as he put in the right eye retina; and as he picked up the piece for the left eye, his mind whirled, his head spun; and then, memories came flooding in, memories of another time, and memories of who he once was and why he was here. Thutmose/Tomas Sefari realized that he must not; he could not complete his masterpiece, his most famous work. He knew why he must not insert the left eye, why he must not disturb Destiny's Matrix and break the link of mystery between the Past and the Future. He walked to the river. The Nile was in flood and the little paste was never found.

Chapter 19 Making Star Trek Real

The Director of NASAs Ames Center, Pete Worden has announced an initiative to move space flight to the next level. This plan, dubbed the Hundred Year Starship, has received $100,000 from NASA and $ 1 million from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). He made his announcement on Oct. 16, 2010. Worden is also hoping to include wealthy investors in the project. NASA has yet to provide any official details on the project. Worden also has expressed his belief that the space agency was now directed toward settling other planets. However, given the fact that the agency has been redirected toward supporting commercial space firms, how this will be achieved has yet to be detailed. Details that have been given have been vague and in some cases contradictory. The Ames Director went on to expound how these efforts will seek to emulate the fictional starships seen on the television show Star Trek. He stated that the public could expect to see the first prototype of a new propulsion system within the next few years. Along with him are David Murakami and Creon Levit. DARPA is a branch of the U.S. Department of Defense whose purview is the development of new technology to be used by the U.S. military. Some previous efforts that the agency has undertaken include the first hypertext system, as well as other computer-related developments that are used everyday. DARPA has worked on space-related projects before, working on lightweight satellites (LIGHTSAT), the X-37 space plane, the FALCON Hypersonic Cruise Vehicle (HCV) and a number of other programs.

Faustin Bray lxiii and Jack Sarfatti at Joe Firmages Last Hurrah

I forget who first put me in touch with Joe Firmage in I think it was 1998? Joe Firmage was about 30 and made a few million dollars in the Internet Dot.Com Bubble. He comes from a Mormon background descended from Brigham Young. Joseph Smith, founder of the Mormons, had an ET Contact like Abraham, like Moses, like Mohamed and others. So did Joe. Joe gave me money as a consultant to help him set up his International Space Sciences Organization (ISSO). I arranged for Creon Levit to join ISSO as Scientific Director. Creon took a leave from NASA to do this. ISSO operated for about two years before going down in flames when Joe lost a lot of his money. However, we did do some good scientific work on how flying saucers might work. We also debunked every over-unity bogus pseudo-science free energy claim that came to our attention. Creon set up a laboratory to test these claims. None of them worked. We had several theoretical physics conferences including a two-month visit by Louis De Broglies213 assistant Jean Pierre Vigier who was also a hero of the French Resistance in WWII and a close personal friend of Ho Chi Minh.214 We also did a classified engineering project with SARA215 Corporation in Huntington Beach, California and a table top hot fusion project with John Brandenberg on the East Coast in Washington DC and Princeton. The ISSO Theoretical Physics Group included Saul-Paul Sirag and Dr. Vladimir Poponin from Moscow, Russia.

Vigier assisted Ho Chi Minh in combat operations in Vietnam which understandably angers Stephen Schwartz. 215 Science Applications Research Associates work includes nonlethal weapons Colonel John Alexander consultant. Former SARA Chief Scientist, James Corum, publishes on reality of The Philadelphia Experiment. Corum was briefly Chief Scientist at Institute of Software Research in West Virginia funded via Senator Robert Byrds direct efforts. He has since dropped out of sight. Corum, who visited ISSO, is working on electromagnetic stress propellantless propulsion motivated by the flying saucer phenomenon. Hal Puthoff has refuted Corums formula for electromagnetic stress propulsion, which in any case even if it worked, would not be real electro-gravitic metric engineering of a weightless warp drive without g-forces. The physical barrier from the weakness of classical of classical Newtonian gravity to achieving this seemingly impossible dream is the spacetime stiffness barrier of one Planck length per Planck energy = 10 centimeter warp distortion per 1019 Gev applied energy expended. This is where my (index of refraction)4 conjecture for gravity amplification may save us?

Cold Fusion? ISSO Sciences Position by Creon Levit Creon Levit wrote216: There are several questions here. The first is the question of the reality of low energy nuclear reactions (including cold fusion and other phenomena), the second is the viability of the claims, and finally there are the political issues. I have been interested in this for a while. I followed it fairly closely for a few years, but was never really in the field and have been paying less attention for the last year, mostly due to other demands on my time.217 For what its worth, here is a brief summary of my positions on the questions.

On the reality of low energy nuclear reactions, I personally think there may well be something there. But the field is not healthy. This is because it is heretical, the initial announcement was problematic, the replications are troublesome, and what little objectivity there was or is usually swamped by polemic from true believers and debunkers alike. Also, the brave academics that

226

embarked upon serious research in this area were usually already tenured, since only they did not have to worry how publishing heretical material would affect their careers. But this happened over ten years ago. Many of them are becoming less active because of age, and there is very little fresh blood being added from the main stream for obvious reasons. It is very hard to get funding for this stuff, unless you get it privately by making big economic promises. It does seem to me that the initial replications by the big names (MIT, Princeton, Los Alamos) were not objective or careful enough, and Eugene Mallove makes a good case that at least for MIT, there may have been, shall we say, some scientific misconduct. He was a skeptic who went in to investigate but eventually resigned from MIT because of what he found. I also agree with Mallove that the initial DOE report dismissing the phenomena is not fair. But as yet, so far as I am aware, there is no example of an electrolytic or gas phase experiment that produces unambiguous nuclear reactions, be it heat, fusion products, or transmutation, and that has been replicated by more than one group. There are literally dozens of experimental claims, some from reputable institutions, that put forth positive evidence in one or more of these areas, but with the possible exception of some work at SRI, I know of no exact replications that came out positive. As for the viability of Black Light Powers claims, I am not an expert. Some time ago, if I remember correctly, they backed away from their energy claims and were promoting their exotic chemistry claims instead. What about claims of sub-ground states of hydrogen (hydrinos) in chemical combination with metals? This in and of itself would still be the biggest news in physics for a long long time, if it were true. Im not sure if it is or not but they are not the only ones who believe such a thing is possible.218 Are they promoting over unity energy again? I should have a look. Hal219 and Scott and company at Earth Tech have attempted some replications of the work of Black Light, as well as of Storms, of Mizuno, and of other big names in the cold fusion community. You can find their results on Earth Techs web page. Earth Tech is highly competent, productive, funded for the right reasons, dying for a positive result, and they have no economic conflict of interest regarding the outcomes of their experiments. They are, primarily, honest. But they have no breakthroughs, or even positives, to report at this time so far as I know. Mallove himself has admitted to me that what he wants is an experiment that convinces Hal Puthoffs lab. I dont think he has found one. But I dont want to appear too negative. The cold fusion phenomenon is elusive, the funding is scarce, and it is not a good career move. That really is too bad. Work in this area is too important to let it be dictated by fashion or forgone conclusions. Personally, if I had the wealth of some of todays newsworthy philanthropists, I would spend a few million a year on cold fusion. If I were the NSF, I would do the same. Theres nothing like an announcement of a well-funded peer-reviewed competitive grant program to get both nay Sayers and new folks to take a field seriously.

J.P. Vigier has such a theory and experimental work on it has been going on in Belgrade for years. Creon met with these Serbian physicists with Vigier in Budapest. Creon and Vladimir Poponin also went to Moscow to meet with several physicists. Creon also met with Hagen Kleinert in Berlin. This was a very important meeting because that is how I learned about Kleinerts idea of the world crystal. Kleinert studied with Feynman at Cal Tech. 219 Puthoff

If I were on such a review committee, I would look favorably upon proposals that utilize ion beams bombarding hydrogen loaded metal foils in vacuum. This gets rid of a lot of the alchemy. There have been interesting Japanese results in this area. Also, I believe there is good evidence for unexpected transmutation in some of Ken Shoulders charge cluster220 experiments. Why no one is attempting to replicate any of these experiments is no mystery. There is no money available to do it. Tragic. 221 If you want to get up to speed quickly, order the 10 year anniversary of cold fusion issue of Malloves magazine Infinite Energy. It is a little dated, but well worth the couple of bucks he asks for it. Also, there are several conference proceedings; probably available through Infinite Energy though not published by them that contains some extremely interesting papers, as well as some junk. Though Mallove now seems firmly in the true believers camp, he at least has a right to be.222

A billion to a trillion electrons seem to clump together in defiance of the Coulomb repulsion. Skeptics dismiss them as charged mercury droplets. The debate is unresolved. One possibility is that the field is negative inside the hollow cavity. This would, perhaps, give a strong short range Abdus Salam gravitational attraction stabilizing the charge cluster. The same idea on a larger scale is dark matter. Therefore, the charge clusters, if not mundane charged mercury droplets, might be small samples of dark matter. 221 Joe fumbled the ball on this one - this is Jacks opinion not Creons. 222 Mallove was murdered May 14, 2004 the case is unsolved http://www.norwichbulletin.com/news/x635430805/Judge-dismisses-charges-in-Mallove-murder John Mack also murdered shortly after on September 27, 2004 in London under suspicious circumstances. http://www.philipcoppens.com/mack.html Ira Einhorn is in prison for the murder of Holly Maddux in a strong circumstantial case. http://dir.salon.com/story/news/feature/2002/08/14/einhorn/

Henry Dakin, Leon Lisbona, J. P. Vigier and Eldon Byrd passed away by the time of this revision (2010). Eugene Mallove was murdered and John Mack was killed in London under suspicious circumstances. Ira Einhorn sits in prison in Pennsylvania with rotting teeth wondering why eminnent scholars ignore his long letters sent by snail mail on paper. Amazing Randi is fragile. I saw him at the Singularity Summit 2010. Uri Geller is prospering on his country estate on the Thames outside of London whilst piano virtuouso Byron Janis has finished his memoirs including his experiences with Uri Geller and the paranormal. Gordon Novel suffered a serious heart attack in 2010. Werner Erhard has changed his name and is living in London. Waldyr Rodrigues Jr., in UNICAMP Brazil, has published a book free of precious mathematical nonsense that is qualitatively consistent with Hagen Kleinerts world crystal lattice theory and my theory of emergent gravity at the moment of inflation, but guided from the hologram computer on our future cosmological horizon. Michael Savage, though banned in Britain by the Home Office, continues to prosper with an estimated radio audience of at least 8 million and numerous best-selling books, the latest Trickle Up Poverty with detailed references worthy of a second Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley where he already earned a Ph.D. in the biological sciences. Stephen Schwartz, now a moderate Muslim, is allegedly returning from Washington DC to North Beach. Herbert Gold is still with us and active.

The late Eldon Byrd was an engineer working for US Navy who investigated Uri Geller in the 70s along with Wilbur Franklin who had a strange death. Byrd and the Dean of Paranormal Debunkers Amazing Randi were involved in a legal battle. I do not use Skeptics since I am a real Skeptic keeping an open, but critical mind, on the uncanny high strangeness I have witnessed first-hand. I am quick to reject extreme claims on both sides and am damned by both sides in the ideological culture war seen in the disinvite of Brian Josephson et-al in 2010 to the Bohm Conference at the Towler Monastery in Tuscany.

ISSO/ISEP Research in the Physics of Consciousness

224

Dick Bierman and Jack Sarfatti at ISSO Telegraph Hill225 Explaining Radins and Biermans presponse brain data with signal nonlocality violating quantum theory: On the evidence so far, presponses are genuine causal anomalies that appear to be readily reproducible. If these characteristics turn out to be robust, theyll have to be explained. Major questions centre on whether orthodox quantum theory can be modified to accommodate them and, if so, what sort of modification is needed. Some quite intensive discussions on this topic were held on-line (in the quantum mind forum) at the end of last year. Two front runners emerged from the discussions, one due to Henry Stapp and the other to Jack Sarfatti, both of whom are physicists based in California. A new experimental paper from Cornell by Daryl Bem (August 2010) seems to replicate the claims of Libet, Radin and Bierman. Quantum theory without inner conscious qualia is Bohms interpretation is simply the test particle approximation in which the context/form dependent quantum potential Q acts on the hidden variables without any direct back-reaction of those (electron) particles (or EM field configurations) on their Q. That is, the hidden variables are like the test particles in Einsteins General Theory of Relativity of the gravitational field. They do not have any back-reaction on their pilot guiding fields. Signal nonlocality permits quantum entanglement to be used as a stand224 225

alone-command-control-communication channel C4 not needing a classical signal key to unlock the qubit messages that are nonlocally stored beyond spacetime in Q itself. Antony Valentini describes this as a sub-quantal nonequilibrium of the particles and/or the classical spacelike EM field configurations dynamical . The latter are the hidden variables. How the two different ways of looking at signal nonlocality relate to each other is not known and progress has been hampered by the physics mafia twisting Antony Valentinis arm, so to speak, not to think about nutjob crackpot topics if he wants to continue to get a salary in a university physics department. This situation is reminscent politically to the reason Hal Lewis resigned from the American Physical Society in protest over Climate-Gate and the ideological pressures on the funding of physics research. Henry Stapps Bohr-Heisenberg idealistic model of presponse Stapps idea is to push the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum theory as far as it will go. This leads him to a view similar to that of Alfred North Whitehead who held that reality is a series of knowings (Whitehead sometimes called them actual occasions of experience). In particular, until an event has registered in someones mind, its nature is not necessarily fixed. So the apparent presponse could be an outcome of the unfixed nature of reality prior to observation by someone (note that the GSRs were recorded and were not seen by anyone until long after each experimental session). Jack Sarfattis Bohmian realistic model of presponse Sarfattis suggestion is quite different. He builds on David Bohms picture of the quantum world, which divides reality into particles and the quantum potential. According to Bohm the quantum potential has no sources and thus cannot be influenced by the particles, despite being responsible for guiding their motions. Sarfatti however suggests that the particles of certain systems, including brains, can feedback to influence the quantum potential in a manner which essentially involves loops in state space (i.e. imaginary space) but can sometimes manifest as temporal loops in the perceived world. - quotes by Dr. Chris Nunn

Chapter 20 Telos as Final Causes in Post-Quantum Physics by Colonel Robert Hickson

Like most of modern science, which characteristically shuns the deeper questions of final causes and human purpose. Colonel Robert Hickson (January 6, 2001) Suppose there is even something vaguely teleological about the effects of consciousness, so that a future impression might affect a past action. Roger Penrose The Emperors New Mind pp 442-445 (1989) It seems to me that biological systems are able in some way to utilize the opposite time-sense in which radiation propagates from future to past. Bizarre as this may appear, they must somehow be working backwards in time. Sir Fred Hoyle, The Intelligent Universe, p. 213 (1986) No, I did not read Colonel Robert Hicksons paper of January 6, 2001 excerpted belowlxiv before I wrote Destiny Matrix with allusions to Shakespeares Tempest and Melvilles Moby Dick and Ishmael. I saw the work below for first time only on December 26, 2001.226 This is John Lillys Cosmic Coincidence Control in action, that invisible Police officer of the Fates in Loomings the first chapter of Moby Dick.227 Strategic Defense-In-Depth of the Homeland and the Moral Hazards of Two New Materialist Ideologies of Sociobiology-and-Neurosciences View of Man in Full and Their Likely Effects on the Moral Character of the Citizen by Colonel Dr. Robert Hickson, Visiting Professor, Joint Special Operations University, U. S. Special Operations Command Excerpts relevant to the thesis of this book: The neuroscientific view of life, has become the strategic high ground in the academic world, and the battle for it has already spread well beyond the scientific disciplines and, for that matter, out into the general public The new generation of neuroscientists express an uncompromising determinism[i.e.,] that there is not even any one place in the brain where consciousness or self-consciousness (Cogito ergo sum) is located. This [consciousness or selfconsciousness] is merely an illusion created by a medley of neurological systems acting in concertSince consciousness and thought are entirely physical products of your brain and

This reminds me of an incident from 20 years ago with I.J. Good who worked with Alan Turing cracking the Nazi war code. See Thomas Pynchons Gravitys Rainbow. Good wrote me a letter asking if I had read his GOD(D) paper that he gave in Chicago ~ 1980 to some parapsychology group. Of course, I had not seen it. The reason I.J. thought I had was that some of the ideas in his paper were identical to those I had in a paper in Psychoenergetic Systems. I.J. was miffed that I did not cite his paper, which I had not seen. These strong nonlocal correlations between my paper and I.Js had to do with a superluminal telepathic discarnate intelligence that Good called GOD(D) -very much like Stapledons Star Maker, Hoyles Black Cloud and Melvilles police officer of the Fates in Moby Dick. 227 Thanks to Ron Pandolfi Ph.D, a physicist with the Central Intelligence Agency for alerting me to these considerations.

nervous systemand since your brain is fully imprinted at birth [it is an exposed negative waiting to be slipped into developer fluid to develop what is already imprinted on the filmi.e., the individuals genetic history]what makes you think you have free will? Where is it going to come from? What ghost [i.e., Geist, spirit], what mind, what self, what soul, what anything that will not be immediately grabbed by those scornful quotation marks is going to bubble up your brain stem and give it to you? (Tom Wolfe, Hooking UpChapter 5, Sorry, but Your Soul Just Died) [Given the inner logic of these neuroscientific premises, not only free will, but also free reason itself, is an illusionand a self-refuting proposition, to boot! - Our provident and strategic (prudent and far-sighted) defense of the common good will be, however, an even greater test for us as a nation, in light of some very powerful, perhaps subtly ungovernable, and even dangerously self-replicating, new technologies, such as genetic engineering, bio-remediation, robotics, molecular electronics and other nano-scale technologies. Yet a far more important challenge to our providing for the common defense will be the intimate moral effects of certain shocking new views, which derive from our predominant scientific culture about the nature of man and the world. Even within our predominant culture of scientific materialism, some of these new views are altogether shocking and psychologically dislocatingand politically radioactive. Just as the theories of Darwin, Marx, Freud, and Nietzsche have had great effects upon mans perception of himself, and also upon the character of his pervasive political culture and even his strategic revolutionary warfare, so, too, will the growing new theories of sociobiology, evolutionary psychology, and neuroscience touch him most inwardly; and especially since they may also make intimately manipulative use of psychotropic drugs and GNR technologies and other bio-technologies of power. Although, like most of modern science, which characteristically shuns the deeper questions of final causes and human purposee.g., What is man for?neuroscience and sociobiology will certainly compel us to re-examine the question What is man? Drawing on the language of the vivid-souled Tom Wolfe [2], we may frame our initial strategical admonition and challenge something like this: The Confluence or Hooking Up of the sociobiological-neuroscientific view of life (and the natural man) with the self-replicating application of GNR technologies is a terrible thing to think upon![3] The allure of hermeticismthe temptation of this potent hidden knowledgeand of unbounded demiurgic engineering, in combination, will be very great and intimately consequential. Indeed, If it werent attractive, it wouldnt be a temptation. And, it is hard to hold the Natural Man down. The lure of unbounded liberation is seductive. We may remember that Shakespeares Caliban showed us that, very movingly. Nature itself is not enough. Neither is raw force, nor power without grace, some would say! Despite his beautiful poetry of heart and speech, Caliban himself was full of lust and spiritual astigmatisms. He had, as it were, a restive libido dominandi; a desire for power without graceand for the raptures that came from a delusive sense of liberation and dominion. Let us think of utopian Caliban now amongst the scientists, and among the seductive new technologists, and we may see some of our strategic challenges more clearly In a famous essay by the British military historian, Sir Michael Howard, entitled, The Bewildered American Raj: Reflections on a Democracys Foreign Policy [5] he notes our confused American dominion and mood of resentment (55) over the ingratitude of the world towards our power

233

With these various considerations in mind from the political wisdom of our cautious Founding Fathers and from our disciplining Constitutional Orderwhile likewise mindful of Americas doubtful cultural dominion, Calibans Bewildered Raj, and modern sciences intrinsic and tendentious exclusion of telos and all Aristotelian final causesa more descriptive and neutral alternative title for this essay might be: The Great Power of GNR Technologies in Light of the World-View of Modern Neuroscience and Sociobiology, and their Combined Effect on the Moral Character of the Citizen and Honorable Fighting Man: A Strategic Defense-in-Depth of the Homeland under an Increasingly Centralized State and Balkanized-Uneducated Culture with Porous Borders. But, first, another pre-emptive caution, and suggestive literary allusion. A Message to my Gentle Reader: If, unlike exile Ishmael on the first page of Moby Dick, you are unable first to sail about a little and see the watery part of the world, thereby driving off the spleen and regulating [your sluggish] circulation, you should certainly not too rashly read what follows! For, the subject matter is (in the words of Master Rabelais) a terrible thing to think uponespecially if it is also now a damp and drizzly November in [your] soul and if you are likewise psycho-cramped and grim about the mouth, as Ishmael alas was! Rather, you should, like him, account it high time to get to sea as soon as [you] can. And, I wish you good sailing! For the rest of you, we may continue. End of excerpts from Colonel Hicksons paper.

Sarfatti Commentary OK now to the physics explaining all of the above and refuting the ant colony view of Man by E.O. Wilson in his sociobiology and its derivatives all based on physics, bad and bogus. ;-) The key paper is by Richard Feynman: Space-time approach to non-relativistic quantum mechanics Reviews of Modern Physics, Vol. 20, p. 267 (1948), Feynman 228 The quantity defends only on the region R previous to tIt does not depend, in any way, upon what is done to the system after time t. This latter in formation is contained in . Thus with and we have separated the past history from the future experiences of the systemthe asterisk on * denotes complex conjugatethe function *(x,y,z,t) characterizes the experienceto which the system is to be subjected. Feynmans Lagrangian method is precisely a journey you need both the start point and the end point.229 The key idea I present below is inherent in Feynmans Section 5 Definition of the Wave Function and it is the basis for Yakir Aharonovs Destiny and History two state vector multiple time version of quantum physics in which teleology (AKA telos) is implicit.lxvi Teleology is explicated when I step beyond Aharonov from quantum to the postquantum covering theory. This is a violation of sub-quantum equilibrium in the sense of Antony Valentinis papers.230 The post-quantum level has signal nonlocality in contrast to the quantum level, which has signal locality231 in spite of quantum nonlocality. Abner Shimony calls the latter passion at a distance. It is a fainthearted kind of passion methinks. If Abner Shimony is content with a vegetable love, which most certainly does not suit me, why he is welcome to it. 232 OK back to Feynman: Choose a particular time t and divide the region R into pieces future and past relative to t.

Aw and Qw can be complex, i.e. non-unitary allowing signal nonlocality? as well as far outside range of eigenvalues permitted in orthodox quantum mechanics. Under certain conditions when Aw is pure imaginary and the pointer's state is Gaussian it can get an impulse kick in momentum. The "three box paradox" can be used to get anti-gravity! "The probe that measures the gravitational field of Box 3, instead of being attracted to the box, is in fact repelled by it." This is a rare zero point quantum fluctuation "error" that happens with "virtual certainty." Analogous anomalous effects for the electromagnetic interaction also predicted. In addition pre & post-selected weak values of negative kinetic energy exist for "genuine tunneling particles" through a potential energy barrier. Actual lab experiments confirm the correctness of Aharonov's back-from-the-future extension of quantum mechanics including the "time-translation-machine". Can the time-translation effect be tweaked to violate the no-cloning theorem modifying Nick Herbert's FLASH to weak amplification? Obviously weak amplification can be applied to LIGO & LISA gravity wave detectors with advantage. "It's a surprising and perhaps ironic twist," said Oppenheim, a Royal Society University Research Fellow from the Department of Applied Mathematics & Theoretical Physics at the University of Cambridge. Einstein and his co-workers discovered non-locality while searching for a way to undermine the uncertainty principle. "Now the uncertainty principle appears to be biting back. Non-locality determines how well two distant parties can coordinate their actions without sending each other information. Physicists believe that even in quantum mechanics, information cannot travel faster than light. Nevertheless, it turns out that quantum mechanics allows two parties to coordinate much better than would be possible under the laws of classical physics. In fact, their actions can be coordinated in a way that almost seems as if they had been able to talk. Einstein famously referred to this phenomenon as spooky action at a distance ... Quantum theory is pretty weird, but it isn't as weird as it could be. We really have to ask ourselves, why is quantum mechanics this limited? Why doesn't nature allow even stronger nonlocality?" Oppenheim says.However, quantum non-locality could be even spookier than it actually is. It's possible to have theories which allow distant parties to coordinate their actions much better than nature allows, while still not allowing information to travel faster than light. Nature could be weirder, and yet it isn't quantum theory appears to impose an additional limit on the weirdness. The surprising result by Wehner and Oppenheim is that the uncertainty principle provides an answer. Two parties can only coordinate their actions better if they break the uncertainty principle, which imposes a strict bound on how strong non-locality can be. It

238

would be great if we could better coordinate our actions over long distances, as it would enable us to solve many information processing tasks very efficiently," Wehner says. "However, physics would be fundamentally different. If we break the uncertainty principle, there is really no telling what our world would look like."lxix But it appears we can beat the usual Heisenberg uncertainty limit that assumes no resolution better than the mean wavelength of the photon probe's wave packet, i.e., a super-oscillating weak measurement Heisenberg microscope enhanced with negative index of refraction meta-material super-lens.

Oh Dear! Do we really live in The Boring Universe? If the universe was boring in the sense of Matt Visser, then the lights would not only blink out all over Europe as Winston Churchill warned, but, indeed, all over Carl Sagans Cosmos in Wagners Gotterdamerung. You now face a new world, a world of change. The thrust into outer space of the satellite, spheres, and missiles marks a beginning of another epoch in the long story of mankind. In the five or more billions of years the scientists tell us it has taken to form the earth, in the three or more billion years of development of the human race, there has never been a more abrupt or staggering evolution. We deal now, not with things of this world alone, but with the illimitable distances and as yet unfathomed mysteries of the universe. We are reaching out for a new and boundless frontier. We speak in strange terms of harnessing the cosmic energy, of making winds and tides work for us, of creating unheard of synthetic materials to supplement or even replace our old standard basics; to purify sea water for our drink; of mining ocean floor for new fields of wealth and food; of disease preventives to expand life into the hundreds of years; of controlling the weather for a more equitable distribution of heat and cold, of rain and shine; of spaceships to the moon; of the primary target in war, no longer limited to the armed forces of an enemy, but instead to include his civil populations; of ultimate conflict between a united human race and the sinister forces of some other planetary galaxy; of such dreams and fantasies as to make life the most exciting of all times.

Chapter 21 In The Name of The Father, The Son and The Holy Ghost
My Spiritual Path by Hyman Sarfatti

Jack Sarfattis 88-year-old father. Hyman died at age 93.

243

My parents Hyman and Mildred Sarfatti 1938 There is no creature who is not destined for the supreme goal as there is no river which is not winding its way to the sea. - Avatar Meher Baba

The late Hyman Sarfatti and Jack Sarfatti Born in The Cave 1914 Life is the only literature that lives and if I had not first lived this story, it would not be worth the writing. This consciousness is sufficient recompense for relating what has made an indelible impression on my mind. As related to me by my older sister, in 1914, the year in which I was born, a war had been raging for two years between Bulgaria and Turkey. Unfortunately, Greece became a victim of the hostilities because the armies of both countries would cut across Greece, north to south and viceversa. The town of Monastir, a suburb of Kastoria in which I was born, was in the left-center of Greece and made a direct passage-way for the two opposing armies to cross in order to get at each others front lines.236 The Bulgarians, as it turned out, were a good and principled people because as their armies would cut across Greece, north to south to get at the front lines of the Turks, they did not harm the Greek population in any manner whatsoever. In fact, if they took anything they needed such as food, drink, fodder for their horses etc., they would pay for everything they needed. However, the Turks were a brutal and bloodthirsty people who took what they needed, never paying for anything. In fact, they would rape the women and kill anyone who resisted, male or female. For

obvious reasons, lookouts would be posted in the hills so that when Turkish troops would be spotted advancing, the lookouts would jump on their donkeys and ride through the town yelling, The Turks are coming! The Turks are coming! This is reminiscent of Paul Revere in our Revolutionary War riding his horse yelling, The British are coming! The British are coming! Of course, the American peoples army made their stand and battled the British, but the Greek people simply gathered up their children, packed everyones back with everything they could carry for survival and headed for the hills in which there were many caves.237 They would live in these caves until all the Turkish troops had passed and it would be safe to go back to their homes. As Fate would have it, my very dear and wonderful mother was pregnant with me and on one of these occasions, the hurried and forced march into the hills brought on birth pangs and I was born in one of these cold, damp and dark caves in the winter of November 1914. The midwives simply stretched out a blanket on the rough earthen floor and I was born under candlelight, as my good mother related it to me. It is ironic that the only other Jewish individual I know of that was born in a cave was Jesus. However, Mary gave birth to Jesus in a cave that had been converted into a stable to house the animals that came into town with their owners, like we park our cars in garages or parking lots. The stables had stalls called mangers filled with plenty of hay and lit up with oil lamps. Besides, there was an inn next door where all amenities could be purchased and there were no cruel and murderous enemies at the door. Therefore, I may say that Jesus was born in a Hilton Hotel compared to where I was born, and my mother had a much harder time, generally speaking, than Mary did. Strangely enough, I have always had a heart-felt sympathetic affinity to Jesus even as a teenager. My sister Regina, the oldest in the family often told me the story that when I was a baby in the crib, I would wake up at night crying and asking for water in Ladino, Yo quiero agua - Yo quiero agua! I want water, I want water! My mother had assigned sister Regina the duty of caring for me in the night time so that mother could get a well-deserved and needed rest at night as she worked in the day-time taking care of the family. Sister Regina would bring me a cup of water to drink and say, Here is your water, in Ladino238, but I would shake my head saying, No, yo quiero agua, no yo quiero agua! My sister would get exasperated repeating, Here is your water, in Ladino and I would repeat, No, no quiero agua, no yo quiero agua. This went on for months. I remember this story well because when I grew older, I realized intuitively that the child in the crib was asking for the spiritual water of Truth, not the drinking water. This has been the key signature to my life, for I have always been searching for the Truth.

Not unlike Afghanistan today. 15th Century Castilian Spanish mixed with Hebrew from 1492 when Ferdinand and Isabella expelled the Jews from Spain because they were the brains of the Moorish Empire. Ladino is to Spanish as Yiddish is to German.

Beat The Devil When I was about seven or eight years old, I had periodically, the most frightening of dreams. I dreamt that I was in the bottom pit of Hell and seeing the Devil clearly in all of his ugly fierceness scowling at me. I was scared out of my wits, but slowly I felt a strong and distinct surge of courage well up in me coursing through my body and into my heart. Then I would stand tall facing the Devil, look straight at him and say, Im not afraid of you; God will protect me. Im not afraid of you; God will protect me. Do your worst, Im not afraid of you, God will protect me. I remember to this day the exact words I voiced in defiance. I said those words with such a bravura that the Devil seemed to cringe and slowly fade away. Our dream world is just as real as our awake world, each having its own reality and running the gamut of fears, doubts, worries, despair, resentment, anger, hatred, hope, courage, pains and pleasures, happiness and misery, all seeming real in both the dream and the awake world. I had this same dream periodically for many months where I got to the point where I dreaded going to sleep for fear of having this most frightening dream recur. But who can give up sleep? So reluctantly, I would lay down in my bed and think, Oh well, if I should have the same dream again, God will protect me. I had a simple child-like faith in God that was instinctive and natural. I did not have to think about God. God was as natural as flowers and trees, birds and stars. Around that time, a boy my age living in the same building and whose father had recently passed away said to me, My mother says that my father is in Heaven with God and that he is an angel. Then he looked up in the sky pointing and saying, See those angels in the sky. I would say, Where, where? I didnt doubt him for a moment, only I couldnt see the angels. Thereafter, for many days I would periodically look up in the sky hoping to see angels. Of course there were angels but I couldnt see them just yet. Who could doubt God and His angels? Along about the same time when I was seven, eight and nine, there were some ladies, all grandmothers who all knew each other, who would come to visit my mother to chat over a cup of demitasse Turkish coffee of the most wonderful aroma and taste. I would ask my mother for some, which she always gave me and I would stand aside sipping my coffee. I enjoyed listening to these wonderful ladies conversing in Ladino, which I understood quite well. I was struck by the fact that in practically every sentence spoken, God was mentioned. The phrase used was, El Dio Santo, the Holy God. It was like a golden thread running throughout the fabric of their conversation. I felt very good listening to them. I really enjoyed their company. This made a deep impression on my young mind and perhaps helped me in my dreams of Hell and the Devil, which occurred around the same time. Sometimes one, two or three of these ladies would drop by when mother was not at home. I would welcome them in, as I was always delighted with their company. Immediately, I would take out the real, traditional, copper Turkish coffee pot that my father had told me that they had brought with them on the boat from Greece when they sailed to the United States. I would immediately start making some Turkish demitasse coffee that I learned to make by watching my mother make it innumerable times. The ladies would tell me not to bother, but I would insist that they stay and have some coffee. I was proud and happy to serve them and they seemed pleased with my hospitality. They told me how good the coffee was and praised me for it. I simply adored these ladies and always felt happy in their presence. There was one lady that I remember

246

in particular, Tia Luna, who seemed to be the conversational leader of the group. I recall clearly how she said that she fasted one day a week every week of the year, including of course Yom Kippur. It was a religious fast in which she always prayed to God, El Dio Santo, asking for His help for some sick individual or family member having some difficulty. She was indeed a Saint and I remember her like it was only yesterday. In touching on the subject of fasting, let me say that it is a common denominator for every religion in every part of the world. It is a part of religious observances such as the one-day Fast of Yom Kippur of the Jews or the Thirty-Day Fast of Ramadan of the Moslems. Both are exactly alike except that the Moslems fast for thirty days in a row or thirty Yom Kippurs consecutively. The relationship between fasting and religion is so pervasive that one cannot separate them. They are heads and tails of the same coin. Mahatma Gandhi said, I know that there is no prayer without fasting and all fasting, if it is a spiritual act, becomes an intense prayer. I can as well do without my eyes as without fasts. What the eyes are to this outer world, fasts are for the inner world. St. Clement (AD 150-215) a Greek theologian said, Fasting is better than prayer. The prevalent beliefs of the ancient Greeks was that the soul reached its greatest power when totally cut off from the lower digestive system of the body and relinquishing sex-activity as well. The fast, no food and no sex, freed the soul from the influence of the senses of the body and brought the individual nearer to the Gods and receive their wise messages. The Romans as well as the Greeks believed that through fasting one could become an oracle, a medium through which the gods could speak and communicate their wisdom. It is a said of Pythagoras, a Greek philosopher and mathematician (582-500 BC), that his fasting practices generated the insights for his most elegant mathematical theories and helped develop his scientific skills and power of prophesy. Also, one of the basic tenets of Pythagorean philosophy is the belief in reincarnation. During the early Christian era men fasted as an ascetic act that included rigorous self-discipline, self-denial, silence and prayer, thereby attaining virtues. Moses, Buddha and Jesus, all three fasted for forty days and forty nights completely, unlike the Fast of Yom Kippur or the Thirty-Day Fast of Ramadan when food is consumed once every twenty-four hours. Moses received the Ten Commandments from God after his forty-day complete fast on Mount Sinai. Buddha attained Enlightenment after his forty-day complete fast under a banyan tree. Then he went on his mission teaching his Eightfold Path to Perfection and his Wheel of Rebirth, to live eternally in Eternal Life with God in full consciousness. Let me add that the face of the Buddha as represented in statues of the Buddha is an expression of the calmness of the Cosmic Consciousness or the state of Nirvana.

Jesus fasted for forty days and nights in the wilderness and was tempted by Satan to give up his faith in God, following His precepts and doing His Will. In return, Satan would give him unlimited wealth and worldly power. It is ironic that both Jesus and I were born in a cave in the humblest of circumstances and we both wrestled with Satan, Jesus in his way as an adult and I in

248

my way as a young boy. And we both emerged victorious. God always wins, never loses, so it behooves us all to stay with God. It is never too early or too late to be spiritually minded and have supreme faith in and love for God. By our own thoughts, words and deeds, we make our own Heaven and our own Hell. When I was in my twenties, the thought occurred to me that if I had a choice of being any famous or prominent individual in all of history in any major field of endeavor, who would I choose to be like the most. The answer came to me instantaneously. It was Jesus. To me he was the greatestNumero Uno. Jesus was the sweetest, sanest and dearest individual who had ever walked on the face of the earth. I have always had the greatest respect and love for Jesus, even though I was raised in the Jewish tradition, went to Hebrew school, attended a Sephardic Synagogue which I loved, was circumcised and Bar-Mitzvahd at thirteen. I was a Jew for Jesus long before the Jewish individual who started the organization known as Jews for Jesus was born, or perhaps he was still in his diapers. This organization was started in San Francisco and its headquarters are still here. When I was about ten, eleven and twelve, I remember living on the lower East Side of Manhattan and that I would often walk across town to get to the Italian section. There the most wonderful fruit and vegetables among other foods were sold on pushcarts and storefronts. It brought joy to my heart to see crowds of people happily shopping. The activity was festive and I would buy a piece of delicious fruit and ate it as I sauntered along. It was a pleasant way to spend the afternoon. Now, to get to the Italian section from where I lived, I had to cross the Bowery, which was then the Mecca for alcoholics. Near to the intersection where I would cross was a Salvation Army chapter, a storefront with a deep interior. As I looked inside through the storefront plate glass, I could see all the way forward a pulpit with chairs in front of it, sometimes occupied. Obviously, a Salvation Army chaplain would give a sermon and then after would serve sandwiches, donuts and coffee. In short, first food for the soul then food for the body is a practical and wise combination in the right order. This tradition and service has always engendered in me a great respect and love for the Salvation Army. Now in the facility up close to the plate glass was a huge Bible on a bookstand similar in size to the large Websters dictionary one may find in a library on a stand. I would read the open pages, and it seemed to me that every time I passed by, the Bible would be turned to another page and another chapter. It was then and there that I started reading the New Testament. The Bible also contained the Old Testament but more often it was open to the New Testament. As young as I was, I was very literate and could read the Bible with ease and could understand it well. I did not find any conflict with the Old Testament. The Five Books of Moses and the New Testament were to me the repositories of the most and best Truths. My intuitive heart told me it was the truth from God. All religions come from God and are meant to bring people back to God. I certainly had no problem understanding the teachings of Jesus, which were to me as clear as crystal. I have always enjoyed reading the Scriptures of all religions. The reading of Scriptures develops a devotional bent of mind and makes one humble. Before God, one cannot become an egotist or ostentatious. I started high school at the age of twelve. I was generally a good student and well behaved. One year I had a wonderful English teacher who taught us well. She focused upon and insisted that

249

we learn how to read, write and speak English with excellence. Her favorite homework was to read some classic in literature and write a book-report on it. In class daily, she would assign a student to write on the black board about some character or event in the book that we were studying. Every student took a turn at the blackboard. Of course my turn would come. I saw behind the events and characters in the story a meaning of moral and spiritual significance. Things did not just happen. There was clearly cause and effect, or As ye sow, so shall ye reap or the Law of Compensation or Retribution, or Karma as the Hindus call it. Invariably, in writing my composition on the blackboard, I would inject some quote from the New Testament attributed to Jesus, which would explain from the moral point of view, why things happened as they did. I knew that these events and results were not manifestations of some blind, foreign or oppressive Fate. They were based on the inexorable spiritual laws of God in Creation. The Scriptures made that clear. I knew my compositions were flawless as I could read and write comparably and equally with any college student, by todays standards - perhaps better. We were studying Ivanhoe when it came my turn at the blackboard. I chose to write about the wicked Black Knight, his evil character and wicked ways and the final results of all of his wickedness. He had an insatiable appetite for wealth and power. His selfish ego-mind dominated all of his thoughts, words and actions. I injected the teachings of Jesus to explain why he ended up as he did, as just retribution for his demoniac character and wicked actions. After finishing writing our composition on the blackboard, we were required to read it out loud before the teacher and classmates. From my opening sentence, the class went into such a silence that you could literally hear a pin drop. I had my student audience mesmerized as they concentrated on every word I spoke. When I came to the end, their reaction was as if they had just gotten out of a spell and remained speechless momentarily. Moments later, my English teacher asked me how come I knew so much about Jesus. I cannot forget her exact words even to this day. She said Hyman, you are a nice Jewish boy; how come you know so much about Jesus? I answered simply, that I liked reading the Bible. Thereafter, whenever I wrote a composition to be read out loud, absolute silence was the norm. A student or two would even shush the class at the slightest disturbance. When Hyman spoke, everyone would listen. The subtle power that I exhibited unquestionably came from the spirit of the Truths that I had gleaned from the Bible. Words come alive and are potent when the Spirit of Truth is behind them. I had a facility for reading and understanding Scripture with remarkable ease. Nothing was too deep for my understanding. I have been told more than once that I should have been a preacher. Let me add that my English teacher always gave me two tens for a single composition, a ten equaling 100% - two tens were the equivalent of 200%. Perhaps one ten was for flawless composition and other ten for scriptural knowledge. I am probably the only student in any English class that rated 200% for a single composition. One day in the spring, I was walking on the Boardwalk of Coney Island. I was about seventeen at the time, when I came upon an intersection where the street ran up to the boardwalk. At the corner right off the boardwalk, I saw a large individual standing on a wooden portable pulpit with a large book in his hand, preaching. I knew immediately that it was a Christian evangelist, because such sights were common in those days. We had our Billy Grahams all over the place. I approached and joined a small crowd listening with rapt attention. I focused on every word he uttered with a booming voice and very articulate presentation and with great sincerity. He was telling the crowd of the events preceding the Crucifixion of Jesus and the Crucifixion itself. His

250

speech was so moving and I felt so sorry for the suffering Jesus that tears started welling up in my eyes and rolling down my cheeks. I didnt realize it until a cool breeze from the ocean rolled in and cooled my warm tears. Realizing suddenly that I had been weeping I looked around me furtively to see if anyone else had tears in his eyes. I saw that I was the only one and suddenly the thought came to me, I am a Jewish boy and Jews are not supposed to cry over Jesus. Immediately, I took out my handkerchief and gently blew my nose, feigning that my tears were only due to a cold. I felt somewhat embarrassed that I had wept for Jesus. Can you for a moment, picture a Jew-boy in a crowd of Christians weeping for Jesus? That preacher could have made a Sphinx melt into tears. My tears were totally sincere and honest. By then I had a very sympathetic rapport with Jesus as were on the same wavelength. Remaining on the subject, I was in my early twenties when one day in the morning, I had gone to the Main Public Library on 42nd Street and Fifth Avenue. Looking through the catalogue on Religion and Philosophy I came across a title that intrigued me. It was `The Life of Jesus the Christ by an author named Levi. I took it out immediately to read it in the main reading room. I remember that it was 9:30 am when I started reading the book. It was so interesting that around lunchtime, I debated with myself whether I should stop and go out for lunch or continue reading. I decided that the book was much too interesting to stop even for lunch, so I went to the mens room, had a drink at a water fountain readily accessible and then went back to my place and continued reading. I never ate breakfast with perhaps only some acid fruit juice, so that I fasted all day while reading. Amazingly, I focused on the book with such concentration that I was aware of my mind but not my body. I was all mind and no body unaware of my surroundings. I kept reading the book until five minutes before 10pm, when a bell would ring announcing the closing of the Library. I got up and was reading the last page as I walked up to the return counter. I had finished this version of the New Testament, cover to cover in twelve and one half hours of total concentration. I felt as light as a feather as if walking on a cushion of air. My mind felt clear and pure, my heart was buoyant with a sense of emotional equilibrium, and my soul cleansed of any residue of impurity. I felt happy like nothing in the world could disturb me. The sky could have fallen down at the time and I would not have been the least bit upset. It may be said that I got a `Spiritual High. I felt generally good the following week when I thought of my wonderful experience. And so I decided to go back the Main Library and read the same book again. I got the book out by 9:30 am and reread it. At around noontime, I got up to go the mens room, drink some water at the fountain and returned immediately to the reading room. The thought of having lunch did not appeal to me and seemed like a sheer waste of time when I had so much mental and spiritual food. The call of my soul for the Truth overrode the call of my body for food. I read the Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ from cover to cover with total concentration, finishing by five minutes to 10:00pm. Again, I experienced the same spiritual high as before. A week later, I got the urge once more the go to the Main Library and read the book once more cover to cover. I finished reading the book in time for the closing of the Library. This was the third reading in two weeks. I got the same spiritual high for a third time. This can be compared in a manner to the high gotten from drug-use, with a big difference. The high gotten from drug-use has a bad after effect, resulting in depression, misery, pain and

251

illness. The spiritual high brings health, joy, mental stability, emotional equilibrium, courage, faith and hope - with no unwelcome side effects. Drug use develops rapidly into a craving for the pleasure it gives followed by pain in an endless cycle of pleasure and pain. In my spiritual high I was likewise developing a craving or addiction - but for God, Jesus and Truth, with no pain or unwelcome side effects. In fact, to become addicted to God frees one from all the dualities of a materialistic life, such as pleasure and pain, happiness and misery, health and sickness, success and failure, riches and poverty, etc. On the peak of the God-Consciousness or Cosmic Consciousness storms never beat, misfortunes never settle, vicissitudes never venture and disasters never fall, because that individual has risen above all mortal ignorance, weakness and sin. The wisest thing that anyone can do is to develop a predisposition for God, Truth and Love. Nothing is real but God, because God is permanent or immortal and He never changes. Everything else in the Universe is in a process of change through the dual aspects of Evolution and Involution (the development of consciousness.) Therefore, everything in the Universe has only a temporary or relative reality. Therefore, the whole Universe is not realonly God is Real. Speaking of libraries, when I was about eighteen I visited a local library and was looking in the section marked Philosophy and Religion when my finger touched a book, as I was running it across the various titles. The book fell to the floor, face-up and I read the title, The Bhagavad Gita. The title intrigued me, so I picked it up and went to the reading room. After about a halfhour, I said to myself, Wow, how long has this book been around. At the time I did not realize that it was the Numero Uno of the many Hindu Scriptures. The book is an actual conversation between Krishna an incarnation of God, about five thousand years ago with Arjuna, His friend, companion and disciple. God as Krishna dictated the Bhagavad Gita to his top disciple, Vasudeva, and it is truly God speaking directly. I read the Scripture through and through and reread it two or three more times. Then I decided to write a short version of it, taking excerpts that seemed to pertain to my understanding and me. This copy, written in longhand on white blank paper, I carried with me in my back pocket, reading and re-reading it countless times. It always had a beneficial effect on me. It seemed to lift my spirits and gave me hope for the future. I treasured it as much as I did the teachings of Jesus. I regarded them both as being on the same level. Again, when I was about eighteen, I joined the Rosicrucian Order, headquarters in and received weekly manuscripts. The basic study is of all religions and philosophies and to bring one to God and become ultimately Self-Realized or One with God. I read all the books published by the Order and read many of their monthly issues of a magazine called the Rosicrucian Digest. Among the dozen or so books published were two that I loved to read, (a) The Mystical Life of Jesus (b) The Secret Doctrines of Jesus. I was already familiar with the teaching of Jesus through the New Testament. By the time I read The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ, I was convinced that Jesus was the Messiah that the Jews never recognized even to this day. I was indeed a Jesus freak on the highest intellectual level. In fact, I believe that I understand Jesus better than the Pope himself.

252

At this point, let me go back to when I was twelve years old. My older brother Sam had bought a set of the Bernarr McFadden Encyclopedias of Physical Culture. Bernarr McFadden was then the nationally famous Guru of health and Physical Culture. He also published a monthly magazine called, Physical Culture which was very successful and popular. My brother Sam practiced the lessons for a time and then gave up. He told me he was too busy to continue his efforts and I could have the set of eight volumes. I was very literate at twelve and could read the encyclopedias with ease and understand everything. I was fascinated by its teachings and started immediately to follow his system of health building, which included physical exercises, diet which was most important, yoga, breathing methods, all kinds of baths and exposure to air, sun and earth, massage and aids to health and curing diseases with natural methods, including fasting. In four years of steady practice and adopting a strict vegetarian diet, which was recommended as the ideal diet for building and maintaining health of body and mind, I achieved perfect health, incredible stamina, great strength and a beautiful body. I may interject that Yoga Ashrams around the world serve strict vegetarian menus and Yogis on the spiritual path are strict vegetarians to a fault. Back to Nature and up to God is the essence of their philosophy. As to vegetarianism, Appolonius of Tyana (A.D. 10-98) a Greek philosopher said that he refused to eat meat on the grounds that it defiled the mind and rendered it impure. He considered that the only pure food was what the earth produces, fruits, vegetables and nuts. He also abstained from wine, because it disturbed the composure of the mind. He was 100% vegetarian, like all Yogis are. Yoga philosophy says that meat has vibrations not conducive to health and spirituality and which excites the passions of lust and anger. A vegetarian diet, they say (Yogis) calms the mind and the passions are greatly reduced, make one more self-controlled and is conducive to spirituality. The mind actually becomes clearer and stronger. They are absolutely right because I have proved all of this myself in the practice of vegetarianism over long periods of time. Appolonius of Tyana also believed in re-incarnation and even spoke of who he was in a previous incarnation. Plotinus, a Greek philosopher in the same era (AD 204-270) thought along the same lines and emphasized the unity of all creation and the ideal of oneness with God-God, Nature and Man or unity Consciousness and no real separation between the three. Let me relate a significant incident. In my neighborhood lived a young individual, my age of sixteen, who was a bully who terrified the whole neighborhood, by challenging anyone and everyone, teen-agers and adult alike, to engage in fighting him. One day I was playing handball, by myself when suddenly this bully came upon the scene and grabbed my ball. He started playing with it as I had been doing, when after a few minutes, I asked for my ball back. He said that if I wanted my ball back I would have to take if from him. He was provoking me, as was his habit, to fight him to get my ball back. He would use any ruse to get someone to fight him. I accepted his challenge. As we squared off like two fighters in a boxing ring, he began weaving in and out, side to side like a professional boxer. I waited for him to come in and throw a punch. As he came in close to throw a punch, I threw one with lightning speed, so fast he never saw it coming. I struck him such a powerful blow that he went reeling backwards and fell like a board of wood. He looked so surprised when he got up and said, You win with a wan smile and stretched out his hand to shake mine. One blow struck and the fight was over. It was my left

253

hand. Had I been able to follow up with my right hand, he would have needed a medic to revive him. I was in top shape physically and he was unaware that I had trained myself for four years steady and had remarkable strength and stamina for my age. Thereafter, when I would run into him occasionally in the neighborhood, I was struck by the fact that his whole personality had changed. He acted sweet and gentle with a ready smile and without the slightest trace of arrogance, belligerence or prone to violence. He even said once that if I ever need help, to call on him. He became a friend instead of a potential enemy. I believe that my purity of body and mind and my proneness to spirituality and religious bent of mind, got to him subtly and he was reborn in the moral and spiritual sense. I say this in retrospect. We influence others by our own state of body, mind, heart and soul for good or ill. In my mid-twenties, World War Two had started. I went to trade school and learned enough to get a job as a ship fitter, 3rd class in the shipyards of Bethlehem Steel in Brooklyn. For some obscure reason I transferred to a job at Todd Shipyards In Hoboken, NJ and I was upgraded to ship fitter 2nd class. I enjoyed my work and the pay was good for those days. After about four years through the war, working six days per week ten hours a day, I contracted a cold and cough that I neglected for weeks. Besides, I was smoking cigarettes, which was bad for me. In those days the cancer causing potential of smoking was not in the public consciousness at all. In fact, it was unknown and unspoken. Let me add that at some time, I was notified by the Draft Board, to come down and be examined by government doctors as I was eligible to go into the Army. I passed the exams but received a draft deferment, because of my essential work in the shipyards. Getting back to the time I was neglecting to treat my cough and cold, I contracted bronchitis, which developed into pneumonia and became deathly sick. Providentially, my brother Joe happened to come by for a visit to my apartment in the Flatbush section of Brooklyn. I was married to Millie at the time and my brother Joe was not aware that I was home in bed seriously ill. I had little Jack who was a most beautiful and brilliant child then. Brother Joe and his girlfriend, who later became his wife, took one look at me and immediately called for an ambulance. I was rushed to Kings County Hospital somewhere in Brooklyn. This actually saved my life, for I would have died shortly. God did not want me yet and so I survived. The first day after the very night that I was taken to the hospital, my mother and brother-in-law, Sam Cohen, came to visit me. After a few words, I asked my mother to bring a certain Rabbi who used to visit us when I was living at home. He was a very sweet and gentle soul and I felt that his presence would comfort me. Upon hearing this, I heard my dear mother telling brotherin-law Sam that I was dying, while she was weeping, My Hymie is dying. After a while a nurse came in and said it was time for everyone to leave. I saw my mother walking out of the room still weeping. The next day, my mother visited me bringing a jar of chicken, vegetable soup, fresh made. My mother was an excellent cook, but I had no appetite whatsoever. Even the thought of food nauseated me, but out of respect for my mother and not wanting to hurt her feelings, I ate most of it. I did not even taste the hospital food. The next day my mother visited me again, bringing some more fresh made vegetable chicken soup. I wasnt the least bit hungry, but not to hurt her feelings I ate it once more. I still did not touch the hospital food. Then I told my mother, that instead of bringing me food, to bring me a big bag full of oranges, lemons and

254

grapefruit, which she did the very next day. I told her that every time she would come to bring me more of the same. I believe she visited me every other day, bringing me some more oranges, grapefruit and lemons. I asked the nurses on duty round-the-clock, to find the biggest glass and fill it with a fresh squeezed cocktail of mixed juices. I drank these juices daily for twenty-seven days, taking no food whatsoever. In other words, I fasted for twenty-seven consecutive days on acid fruit juice and a little water, nothing else. For twenty-seven days I did not have so much as a glass of milk, a cup of coffee, or a single slice of toast. Of course I did not tell my mother or the nurses. I simply gave my hospital meals to others in the large rooms of four beds and patients. From my study and practice of the Bernarr McFadden lessons on natural methods for building health and curing disease, I learned about the efficacious effects of fasting and vegetarianism, as well as all of the natural aids to health and curing of diseases of every kind. Bernarr McFadden owned and ran a Physical Culture Hotel in Dansville, New York where his system was practiced. He literally cured thousands of people of various diseases which the medical profession said were either incurable, or could be helped on a limited basis. Even many thousands of people without a disease would go there to improve their health. In my practice of his methods in the past, I had proved to my self that he was totally right. He was a true Guru of Health. Long before Dr. Linus Pauling came out with his theories about high doses of Vitamin C for the cure of colds of any severity, I had been practicing it for years. Bernarr McFadden had been teaching the same for fifty years previously. Among true followers of Physical Culture, Dr. Linus Paulings theories and practice were common knowledge. Even I knew more that the good doctor did. Let me prove my point. Going back to the hospital, where I fasted for twenty-seven days on nothing but fresh squeezed acid fruit juice and water, the time came for me to be discharged from the hospital. It was customary for every patient being discharged to receive a complete check-up including X-rays. I was in the office of the doctor who examined me and had the X-rays of my lungs with her, a female physician of course. She looked at me with dismay. She could not understand why my lungs showing up in the X-rays were perfectly clear. She put the X-rays on the light screen once more, commenting, I cant understand it, after a severe bout with pleurisy and pneumonia, lesions would be left on the lungs, with unmistakable clarity, visible on X-rays. She said, Your lungs are as clear, pure and healthy as those of a new-born healthy baby. I cant understand it. It was then that I told her that I had fasted for twenty-seven days, on acid fruit juice and water. I explained that I had learned all about the fasting method with large doses of natural vitamin C for the cure of colds, bronchitis and pneumonia. In fact fasting, properly conducted and completed will cure all cases of acute disease and most cases of chronic illness. Bernarr McFadden, proved this to be true for fifty years. But the medical profession sneered at McFadden and his natural methods of cure. Why? Because it hurt their pocket books and those of the pharmaceutical industry. I proved to myself that I was a Master of Physical Culture in both building health and curing disease, superior in some ways to the medical profession. Fasting, rightly conducted and completed is nearest a panacea for curing all disease of any other single method of cure. Bernarr McFadden proved it thousands of times as well as a number of Naturopathic physicians. I proved it to myself in curing an occasional cold and a severe case of pleurisy and pneumonia.

255

The Arab physicians of the Tenth and Eleventh centuries, prescribed three week fasts for the cure of all diseases, in conjunction with their prescribed herbal medicines and right diet thereafter. Athenaneous, a Greek physician in Rome (A.D. 50) said, Fasting cures diseases, makes the mind clearer and purer and raises man to the throne of God. He perceived the physiological mental and spiritual benefits of Fasting. I noticed that in my twenty-seven day fast, I not only cured myself of disease, but that my mind did become clearer and purer and I attained a deep sense of peace and emotional equilibrium. Again when I was nineteen and twenty I had the idea of going to India and find a Spiritual Master or true Guru, stay and live with him or nearby, and serve him like a servant, and would be his disciple at the same time for about seven to ten years. I had read about these Yogi Masters living in or near the Himalayan Mountains. I was saying to myself, First the pathway to God, then the affairs of the world. The average individual thinks, in effect, first the affairs of the world then the pathway to God if at all. If he is not spiritually inclined, then finding God does not even enter into the picture. For the materialistic individual not concerned about God, then his way is best for him to attain whatever goals or success he envisions. He is relatively happy going his way, with periods of happiness and unhappiness, pain and pleasure rich or poor, in health or in sickness, prominent or unknown, success or failure, and all of the other dualities that the worldly life entails and are experienced. As for me, I did not function well in the mundane world, so for me the spiritual path was more practical. I wanted to go to India and find a true Guru or Spiritual Master, realizing that if I could become centered in God and attain Cosmic Consciousness, I could then enter into the mundane world with the stature of symmetry and could handle the affairs of the world with masterful ease. I was fully aware that to attain Cosmic Consciousness and become one with God was the ultimate goal of life itself. Cosmic Consciousness is not a theory, a figment of the imagination, some hallucination or poetic dream. It is as real as the Empire State Building or the Rock of Gibraltar. Even more so, because a nuclear bomb dropped on each one would turn them both into clouds of dust. But the Cosmic Consciousness is eternal and nothing can change it or put so much as a scratch on it. It is the mind of God Himself. Einstein once said, I would like to know the thoughts of Godthe rest are just details. Not even Einstein can know and understand the mind of God because it takes a Cosmic Mind to know and understand the Cosmic Mind of God. Only by attaining the Cosmic Consciousness can one know God, experience Him and become one with God. The term Yoga means union with God, which is the goal of the Hindu philosophy and religion. It is also the goal of Buddhism. The two processes of evolution and involution, which means the development of consciousness, are meant to attain the Cosmic Consciousness, while we are still in the human form. Technically speaking, the process of evolution ends when man attains the human body, evolved from animal forms. Then starts the process of involution, which is the development of consciousness. For example, compare an aborigine in Australia with an Albert Einstein, dozens of incarnations lie in-between the two.

Let me state unequivocally, that the desire to attain Cosmic Consciousness and become one with God, is the greatest of all desires. When one attains oneness with God, then all right desires are satisfied completely forever and you enjoy everything but without attachment. Spinoza implied the same philosophy when he said, The union of the soul with God is our second birth and therein consists mans immortality and freedom. He was known as the Godintoxicated philosopher. I am the God-intoxicated thinker. Dante implies the same when he says in Canto IV, Instruct me Master and most noble sir, better to understand the perfect creed that conquers every error. Cosmic Consciousness cannot be investigated by the methods of scientific research, since such research depends ultimately on sense perception. Cosmic Consciousness is beyond the grasp of the senses; this is the certainty of certainties. It has been the general experience of all true Gurus or Spiritual Masters, that first they had to attain an intellectual knowledge of God and the spiritual path leading to Him. Then had to develop a love for God and a longing to attain Him equal to one in the desert thirsty for water. Was I not that little child in the crib thirsting for the Water of Truth and not the drinking water? In the past, but of course no longer true today the greatest puzzle to me in the Universe was I to myself. How could I possess the wisdom of the ages on the one hand and be so ignorant, weak, fearful and inept in the mundane world at the same time. I simply lived in two worlds that I could not harmonize. In the world of Philosophy, Literature and Scripture I was like a fish in water. In the mundane world I was a fish out of water, gasping and wanting to return to its native element. For years, I feared that if I got too involved in worldly life I would lose sight of my spiritual desire and goal. This fear of entanglement was all wrong and contributed to my failing to fulfill all of my duties and responsibilities as a father and husband. The memories are painful even to this day. I thought to myself, why cant I be like everyone else, pursuing and attaining material goals and not having spiritual ideals, which brought pain in not realizing them. In effect, I was a failure in both the spiritual world and the mundane world, not having attained success in either world. I was in limbo. My head and heart were aimed at Heaven, but I didnt have my feet on the ground. I know now, of course, that one must succeed and harmonize both worlds in order to be a true and all-round success. Even the most successful businessman, financier or professional person, is not a true wellbalanced success unless he is firmly grounded in spirituality. Because if one, by the vicissitudes of life, loses what he (or she) has attained or gained, one becomes despondent, miserable, unhappy - can lose his mental stability and emotional equilibrium, lose all of his money or health or both and divorce often steps into the picture if married. If grounded in spirituality, one becomes detached from all material and worldly things and so can handle all vicissitudes without pain or fear or worry and maintain ones poise and peace of mind. There are many factors that enter into the equation for success, but without spirituality ones life remains on shaky ground and a weak foundation at best. The worldly life is like a dangerous ocean to cross and reach the safe shores of God and His Kingdom. There are seven passions or seven wild horses that need reigning, namely, lust, greed, anger, hatred, false pride, envy and attachment to material things and pleasures of every

257

description with its endless round of pleasure and pain. These attachments may also be called habits or addictions that keep us in bondage to the world. Thus the materialistic individual believes that the world and worldly life is the only reality and that God, the spiritual life and spiritual world seem unreal, vague and hard-to-grasp. Thus the materialistic individual takes the world seriously and God lightly, whereas, the spiritually oriented individual takes God seriously and the world lightly. The earth-life is the junction between Heaven and Hell. This is where God gives us free will, to choose which path to follow. The choice is ours and thus we make our own Heaven and our own Hell. Let me relate a significant incident that occurred many years ago. I made a trip to California to see my son Jack and stopping in Chicago for a few days to visit my sister Vicky and her married daughter with children. Arriving in San Francisco I recall staying with Jack and his then girlfriend in their apartment for about two weeks. It was time for me to move with my suitcases elsewhere. I wound up at the YMCA where the rates were cheap by the week. My funds were running out and in order to stay on longer, I got myself a job in one of the downtown banks on lower Market Street, as a guard. I was paid by an employment agency not directly by the bank. A Vietnamese or Cambodian individual also worked at the same bank, also as a guard. We became friendly and talked about experiences and ourselves. One day he told me of his life in Cambodia, where he was in a guerrilla army, fighting the Communists, who were cold-blooded killers of civilians and military alike. He said he was the leader of a troop of men and had killed many of the enemy himself. I knew that he wasnt boasting or exaggerating, as he was simple and straightforward. Also, he told me that he had been married and brought his wife with him to the USA about seven years previously. Then he told me that he had a friend also from Cambodia, who had come to this country and friends of his wife and himself. The saddest part of his story was that his friend had seduced his wife and urged her to divorce her husband and marry him. The rival was earning much more money than he was and could provide her with a much better lifestyle. His wife did leave him to live with this rival. He was sad and angry over this betrayal and brooded over it for some time. Then he told me that in his anger and desire for revenge, he was thinking seriously of killing his rival. He even showed me the knife he was carrying and he told me that he was a Master of Karate by which he killed many of the enemy in Cambodia. He could have killed his rival in a split-second. After listening to him thoughtfully and intently, he asked me what I thought of the whole matter. I told him to forget his anger and desire for revenge; that there was a Law of Compensation or Retribution, which would exact the penalty for that betrayal. I said that he should be thankful that he didnt commit such a sin on someone else and that someone else did it to him instead. Therefore, the Retribution would fall on his rivals head and not on his own head. He marveled at my sage-like advice, thanked me and said You speak wisely like my father, my father would have liked to have met you. Then he said, I am going to do something that I have never done before. We were both sitting on chairs during this whole conversation. He got up from his chair, got down on his knees and touched his hands and forehead to my two feet. This is the tradition in the Hindu and Buddhist religions, where people and disciples do the same to their Spiritual Master. The reason is that in doing so according to their traditions, the people lay upon the Master, the burden of their sins.

258

This is a form of spiritual cleansing and symbolizes the surrender of their wills to the Master. The feet, though the lowest part of the body, are considered to be the highest form of the spiritual point of view. This Vietnamese or Cambodian fellow employee was paying his respect for me as his Spiritual Master. When he got up he smiled and looked relieved as though he had laid his evil thoughts of committing murder at my feet. His face shone as though he had been cleansed and Im sure that he never had the same wrong thoughts again. He was reborn in the same sense that the story of the bully was in my early years. When I was about forty, I had moved back to Bridgeport, CT from Port Jervis, NY where I had worked for my two brothers, Sam and Joe. They were manufacturers of ladies garments and quite successful. Back in Bridgeport, I got a job with Sikorsky Helicopters as a sheet-metal fabricator. Since I had worked in the shipyards as a ship fitter, the work was similar. Instead of working with steel, I was now working with aluminum and titanium. I worked there for four years, when there was a general lay-off. I got a job immediately with Avco-Lycoming as a sheet-metal fabricator, also working on steel parts and assembly work. After twelve years, there was a general lay-off. Let me say that Avco-Lycoming made the engines that went into military helicopters, since these engines were very expensive and only the government could afford them from the vast military budget. Foolishly, when I was called back, I did not return to my job, having got entangled with other pursuits to make a living. This proved to be a disaster I didnt realize that I was much better off working for a large company than working for myself. I was ignorant, weak and inept working for myself and not smart, sharp or strong. I even lacked faith in myself. There are three kinds of faith that are most vital, Faith in Nature, which ensures health. Faith in God, which ensures abiding peace of mind and heart. Faith in Self, which ensures success. My Faith in Nature and God were perfect, but I lacked that strong faith in myself to be successful in the mundane world. I was like a lop-sided tire, with a big bulge on one side, making it impossible to spin right. Even the wheels on a car need periodical balancing in order to turn smoothly. I was anything but balanced thus becoming generally unhappy even miserable. The saddest part of my life came during the years that I worked for Avco-Lycoming in Stratford, CT, which was next door to Bridgeport, CT where I lived with my dear wife Ruthie and two wonderful sons, David and Michael. During those years, Ruth developed cancer. The doctor advised an operation. My dear Ruth lived for about a year and one half after the operation. On the day that she died in the early morning hours of October 20th, it was Mikes birthday. I can never forget that morning when I told Mike that his mother had passed away; he burst into tears saying, She had to die right on my birthday! He broke my heart. The memory of it still breaks my heart, to this very day, to this very moment, I am writing it. If I were to live to be a thousand years old, I can never forget that day. It was indeed the most tragic event of my life.

259

When I realized that she was not going to survive, I would awake in the morning as the sun shone and look out the window and pray, Dear Lord, if one of us must go, let it be me, let it be me. I said this prayer more than once. I was thinking that children need their mother more than their father. Nothing can compare with a Mothers love for her children. Besides, believing in Reincarnation and the immortality of ones soul, I thought that I would get another opportunity in my next life on earth to attain the goal that I prized the most - attaining Cosmic Consciousness and oneness with God. This idea and ideal has stayed with me for over sixty years and has never changed. If anything it has become clearer, stronger and I have become more determined to attain it in this incarnation. Before my dear Ruth passed away, one morning sitting on the bed next to her lying down she told me, I love you very much and I told her that I loved her too and that I wasnt worthy of her. I told her I am not worthy of you, you are too good for me. She answered in protest, No, no you are good enough. We meet our loved ones again in Heaven and I will be with her once again as well as with my dearest Mother and Father and all others. God Himself is Love and Love is the only coin that gets us into Heaven. Besides losing Ruth, my other great loss was losing the companionship of little Jackie, when Millie and I were divorced. I can honestly say that I never wanted a divorce. It never even entered my mind. But Millie insisted on it and I just went along with her wish. I could still have kept in touch with my dearest Jackie (I always called him Jackie) but I neglected to do so and I have always regretted it. The memory of it pains me whenever I think of it to this very day. But I thank God that I have him today. I love the three of you equally and dearly and nothing gives me more pleasure than thinking of you individually and collectively. No amount of success or money can ever replace my love for the three of you. God never gave any father three brighter, nicer, sweeter and more lovable boys than my three sons. It is, in fact, God Himself who comes to us in the form of our children. Are not our souls a part of the Supreme Soul of God? Therefore, we should welcome, love and adore, our children as God in human form. See God in each other for we are all a part of God. The bottom line is that God is the one and only Reality. The entire universe is the body of God and if our souls are a part of God, what is left? Only God! And nothing can exist without God, and nothing can exist outside of God. The entire Creation came out of the Mind of God and He sustains it. The Creation needs God to exist, but God doesnt need the Creation to exist. He is independent and self-sustaining. Ralph Waldo Emerson calls God or the Supreme Soul - the Over Soul. Swami Vivekananda, a Yogi Master of the early part of this century and a disciple of the Spiritual Master Sri Ramakrshna said, The highest Truth is this; God is present in all beings. They are His multiple forms. There is no other God to seek. He alone serves God who serves all other beings. Is Swami Vivekananda not saying in his own words that our souls are a part of God that He is the only Reality and that only God exists as the essence of everything? Only God is Real. Everything else is in the state of flux or the process of change through Evolution and Involution, and therefore has only a relative or temporary reality and is not real. Since God is permanent and never changes, therefore only He is Real, the one and only Reality. The long journey of the soul consists in developing through Evolution, from animal consciousness to human consciousness and then transcending the limited human consciousness and attaining the unlimited Cosmic Consciousness. What we call Life is only the development

260

of Consciousness going from the unconscious to the conscious, from unconscious God to conscious God. We come to the realization that we are a part of God and that our souls are no different than God, qualitatively speaking, just as the water in a wave of the ocean is no different, qualitatively speaking, than the water in the entire ocean. With this analogy, we can say that every one of us is a wave in the Ocean of God Himself and that God is everything and in everybody. Mathematically speaking, think of God as being a very large equilateral triangle. Think of us as being equilateral triangles coinciding with the very large equilateral triangle. Also, each triangle coinciding with the very large triangle is still an individual triangle. Now when one attains the Cosmic Consciousness, ones soul blends with God as the wave in the ocean blends with the ocean, but at the same time we maintain our individuality like the illustrated coinciding triangles. This is the Magic of God - the Supreme Magician. He also plays the game of hide and seek. I hide and you seek ME. It is His game and sport and we only have to play it until we win. We can only find Him when through the development of consciousness (involution), we finally attain the unlimited Cosmic Consciousness. Our limited ego-mind is the veil that hides God from us. The limited individual ego-mind of ours must be completely submerged and dissolved into the unlimited Mind of God or the Cosmic Consciousness. When the limited ego-mind disappears, then we attain the God-state, the Yoga or union with God, the goal of the Hindu religion and philosophy. It is exactly the same goal of the Buddha with his Eightfold Path to Perfection. This world is not our true home. This planet earth is just a school of experience where we learn how to behave and mature spiritually until we are fit to live with God in His Kingdom, which is our true and Eternal Home with Eternal Life. This is not a beautiful dream, a theory or poetic imagination. It is a spiritual Reality as the Law of Gravity is a scientific reality. This is the Perfection that the Buddha preaches in his own words. Plato implies the same Truth when he says, If there exists a good and wise God, then there also exists a progress of mankind towards perfection. Plato is also implying that one cannot separate God from perfection because they are heads and tails of the same coin. From the Perfect God can only come what is perfect. Be God-oriented, not world-oriented. In the beginning only God existed like a placid ocean. Then when God stirred and spoke the creative spiritual word Om, the ocean became full of waves and those waves became the Creation and our individual souls, all part of the ocean and not separate, like the waves in the ocean are not separate from the ocean. So the universe and everything in it springs into existence from the Om Point. Gods only purpose for His Creation is to develop consciousness to its highest point. It is His Play of Consciousness and He is the Author and Director; the theater, the stage and the actors are all His Creation.239 As long as I can remember, I have always had a clear, spontaneous, concise and intuitive perception of Truth, expanding more and more as I grew older and older. My intellect simply expanded on the Truth that I perceived easily and intuitively. When the intellect coincides with intuition, then we know we are absolutely right on target. As my intellect expanded till the age of nineteen and twenty, I knew then that the highest Truth was the principle of Cosmic
239

261

Consciousness, that it was absolutely possible to attain and totally desirable to experience. Thats why I wanted to go to India, meet a true Yogi or Spiritual Master and attain the goal. I had read a book titled, `Cosmic Consciousness by an author named Bucke, which may be still available in Main Libraries. As a member of the Rosicrucian Order, this ideal was expressed innumerable times as part of their philosophical concepts. The term became a part of my consciousness like the world was round and not flat. My intuitive sense and intellect combined said it was the certainty of certainties and no one could dispute it with me. Ones spiritual certainly cannot be challenged by anyone. The materialistic world may dispute it, but then the Mass Mind is spiritually ignorant. One may be religious and ignorant but one cannot be spiritual and ignorant. This became my goal in life at the comparatively early age of nineteen-twenty, and has never changed since, in over sixty years. An authoritative and ultimate ideal lasts a lifetime and never needs renewing. The hardest thing in life to do is to attain ones own ideal. Endless years of struggle, anguish and failure accompany the man with a high ideal. An ultimate ideal last a lifetime and never needs renewing to repeat. It is indestructible. But we must translate our ideals into the vernacular of life and attain the goal. The ancient sages of India called the soul simply the Self. The doctrine of Self-Realization says that God dwells within the body as the Self and that the body is the temple of God-the Self, The Lord, they said, is indeed the dweller in the body as the Self. Lord Krishna says in the Bhagavad Gita Steady in the Self, being freed of all material contamination, the Yogi achieves the highest perfection state of happiness in touch with the Supreme Consciousness. (Cosmic Consciousness) The spiritual aspirant, following the path of meditation turns within. The inward directed movement finally, with practice, finally merges the mind into the inner Self and melts into the plane of Cosmic Consciousness, which is the goal of meditation. Meditation and Mantra repetition are meant to attain this highest consciousness. It removes the veil that separates our limited consciousness from the Cosmic Consciousness or God- Consciousness. A Spiritual Master gives the Mantra to us. Right understanding, meditation on the Self within is the way to find God and unite with Him. This ultimate goal cannot be realized independently of Creation. The individual soul undergoes the experience as an individualized ego and limited mind through many incarnations until it matures spiritually and is ready to attain the Cosmic Consciousness and is freed from the recurring births and deaths or Buddhas Wheel of Rebirth or Reincarnation. Then, when one attains the highest goal, the Cosmic Consciousness, one no longer is compelled to re-incarnate on earth and lives eternally in the Kingdom of God with God. Eternal Life consciously in Gods Kingdom is an absolute reality. Then the dear, wise purposes of God are fulfilled in His Play of Consciousness. For such a one, the Play is over! Meditation may be defined as the path that the spiritual aspirant takes trying to get beyond the limitations of the mind to the inner Self. With the practice of meditation, the aspirant will turn more intensely to God.

262

Past wrong thoughts, wrong words and wrong actions have left seeds or impressions on the mind and one cannot achieve emancipation of the soul until these impressions or seeds are burned in the fires of wisdom and meditation. Meditation is our link with God and the means to find God within-the Self. It is wise to seek God before our earth-visa expires. Otherwise, we have to return to earth (reincarnate) and suffer all over again to a greater or lesser extent and experience all the dualities again, pain and pleasure, happiness and misery, health or sickness, rich and poor etc. Milk poured into water readily mixes with it. Similarly, the waters of ignorance, weakness and illusion quickly dilute the milk from an ordinary persons mind. The Yogi, the man of spiritual self-discipline churns the milk of his mind into the butter-state of divine stability and is able to float serenely on the waters of worldly life. He is as the maxim says, To be in the world, but not of it. This is the hardest thing to do. But when one attains Cosmic Consciousness, it becomes like childs-play. This Cosmic Consciousness makes of this world a little playroom, of mortal possessions a box of toys, of the human race a handful of tin-soldiers, and of you, owner of the nursery, dispenser of the toys, Commander of the host. In the conscious state of Cosmic Consciousness, one becomes a Man-God; man and God at one and the same time. We rise up from being a limited and ordinary human being into Consciousness, Knowledge and Power and being a Son of God. All who have reached the highest Consciousness, the Cosmic Consciousness are no longer ordinary human beings, but humanly divine and divinely human. Call him a Cosmic Man or a Cosmocrat. He is the real Superman and not the comic-book character. So, never underestimate this ideal of attaining Cosmic Consciousness, which is the highest and greatest ideal possible to attain on this Planet Earth. God makes His devotees like Himself in order to bring others back to God.

263

The Spiritual Master or Cosmic Conscious Man has only one desire, to teach and raise others to his own level. It is Gods Plan and desire to bring all human beings, His children back to Himself in Gods Kingdom with Eternal Life. The ultimate goal is attained individually. Everything fails on earth but the Cosmic or God-Consciousness where there is never any failure, disappointment, ignorance, weakness, pain, sin or misery. There life becomes a triumphal march to the citadel and royal domain called God-Consciousness. I have used the word intuition many times, and it is essential that I explain what intuition is and how important it can become in ones life. Intuition is the voice of the past. That is, what we get by reason in this life, we get by intuition in the next life. Reason can grasp only the causeeffect principle that pertains to the phenomenal world; higher than reason is intuition, knowledge derived immediately and spontaneously from the soul-not from the fallible agency of the senses or reason. Intuition is uncommonly known as the sixth-sense, by which one apprehends knowledge distilled from the multitude of experiences, gathered from past lives and which become part and parcel of the intuitive make-up of ones active consciousness in this life. The details of ones past lives are eliminated; just the distilled essence remains as intuitive wisdom. In other words, intuition is the digested experience of the past lives, or we may say it is the compressed and consolidated wisdom distilled from the past. Intuition is actually a `voice of the soul. The soul speaking to the body is called instinct (animal instinct). The soul speaking to the heart is called intuition. The soul speaking to the mind is called inspiration and last comes revelation, which is the soul immersed in the Divine Light and in which Divine Knowledge and understanding comes from God Himself. This revelation is also known as illumination of the soul. Thus, it can be said truly that intuition is superior to reason. We still need reason for our current experiment. In other words, intuition tells us what to do, reason tells us how to do it. In my dreams as a boy of seven in the bottom pit of Hell facing the Devil, how did I know that God would protect me and keep me safe and had nothing to fear from Satan? Feeling the very Spirit of God surging through my body and making me absolutely fearless and challenging the Devil to do his worst, how did that come about? It was my intuitive heart telling me that God was my Friend and that no one or nothing could hurt me. Where did my supreme faith in God come from without thought or learning? How could I read Scriptures at ten-eleven with ease and understand everything if I hadnt learned these things in a former incarnation? The teachings in the Bible were to me as clear as crystal, never doubting its Truth for a single solitary second. I even felt that Jesus was not some distant historical character, but more like a friend or relation of my family. I must have had an incarnation at the time of Jesus, otherwise we would not have been, both of us, born in caves and wrestled with Satan and emerging victorious. That is not a coincidence. I even think like Jesus - we are on the same wavelength. At nineteen-twenty I had, intellectually and intuitively, the highest spiritual wisdom of the ages and knew what the highest and ultimate goal of life was - to attain God and become one with Him. Nothing mattered but supreme faith in and love for God - the one and only Reality. Only God is Real. Even our worldly life is an awake-dream like we have a dream-dream. We only become really awake when we awaken in the Cosmic Consciousness, when the ultimate Truths of the Infinite are revealed to us in a glorious array. You aint seen nothing yet!

Epilogue Back From the Future

A series of quantum experiments shows that measurements performed in the future can influence the present. Does that mean the universe has a destinyand the laws of physics pull us inexorably toward our prewritten fate? by Zeeya Merali , Discover Magazine, August 26, 2010 Everyone would agree that events in his past have prepared him for todays excursion. But Tollaksen and his colleagues are investigating a far stranger possibility: It may be not only his past that has led him here today, but his future as well. lxx Tollaksens group is looking into the notion that time might flow backward, allowing the future to influence the past.lxxi By extension, the universe might have a destiny that reaches back and conspires with the past to bring the present into view. On a cosmic scale, this idea could help explain how life arose in the universe against tremendous odds. On a personal scale, it may make us question whether fate is pulling us forward and whether we have free will. as crazy as it sounds, this notion of reverse causality is gaining ground. A succession of quantum experiments confirm its predictionsshowing, bafflingly, that measurements performed in the future can influence results that happened before those measurements were ever made. the mounting evidence that the arrow of timethe flow that defines the essential narrative of our livesmay be not just an illusion but a lielxxii. Aharonov was one of the first to take seriously the idea that if you want to understand what is happening at any point in time, its not just the past that is relevant. Its also the future, Tollaksen says. experiments began to reveal the indeterministic effects of quantum mechanicsfor instance, in the radioactive decay of atoms. The problem goes like this, Tollaksen says: Take two radioactive atoms, so identical that even God couldnt see the difference between them. There is nothing to explain the different behaviors of the two atoms, no way to predict when they will decay by looking at their history, andseeminglyno definitive cause that produces these effects. This indeterminism, along with the ambiguity inherent in the uncertainty principle, famously rankled Einstein, who fumed that God doesnt play dice with the universe. It bothered Aharonov as well His answerwhich seems inspired and insane in equal measurewas that we cannot perceive the information that controls the particles present behavior because it does not yet exist.lxxiii Nature is trying to tell us that there is a difference between two seemingly identical particles with different fates, but that difference can only be found in the future, If the universe has a destiny that is already written, do we really have a free choice in our actions? Or are all our choices predetermined to fit the universes script, giving us only the illusion of free will? The Rochester experiments seem to demonstrate that actions carried out in the futurein the final, postselection stepripple back in time to influence and amplify the results measured in the earlier, intermediate step reality. The future can only affect the present if there is room to write its influence off as a mistake, Aharonov says.

267

DOES THE UNIVERSE HAVE A DESTINY? Is feedback from the future guiding the development of life, the universe, and, well, everything? Paul Davies and his colleagues are investigating whether the universe has a destinyand if so, whether there is a way to detect its eerie influence. . Even if you could take life for granted, its not clear that 14 billion years is enough time for it to evolve by chance. But if the final state of the universe is set and is reaching back in time to influence the early universe, it could amplify the chances of lifes emergence.lxxiv The goal is to find out whether Mother Nature has been doing her own postselections, causing these unexpected effects to appear, Davies says. The above general ideas are precisely the ideas that Fred Alan Wolf and I were discussing as far back as the late sixties at San Diego State when we were both on the physics faculty. We have both been advocating this Teilhard de Chardin telos for decades.

Advanced Mathematical Appendix

This is technical and can be skipped by the general reader, Our Once and Future Holographic Universe Based on My talk to the San Francisco Theosophical Society July 30, 2010 Robert Anton Wilson wrote about my early ideas on signal nonlocality permitting entangled messages240 from future to past in this 1977 book based on our 1976 meetings in Esalen in Big Sur , California. So did Scientific American editor the late great Martin Gardner in May/June 1976 MIT Technology Review Magic and Paraphysics where he said that most physicists did not then believe in signal nonlocality, i.e. use of quantum entanglement to send faster-than-light and precognitive back from the future messages, but if I turned out to be right it would make me one of the greatest physicists of all time. Twenty years later Antony Valentini gave the mathematical conditions for signal nonlocality in what I had called a post-quantum theory extension of ordinary quantum theory. Its ironic that the same Valentini disinvited Brian Josephson, David Peat and myself to the 2010 Bohm meeting that I had initially suggested to Michael Towler during my September 2009 stay at Trinity College, Cambridge. Allegedly Valentini was put under pressure by other physicists hostile to the study of consciousness and the paranormal. Valentini was afraid he would be considered a crackpot if he allowed us to attend since his own ideas were already at the cutting edge of orthodoxy in a time of shrinking budgets in this era of global financial collapse when many over-educated theoretical physicists are being forced to take menial jobs.

Signal nonlocality from direct back-reaction of the matter field hidden variables on their intrinsically conscious qubit Bohm (super) quantum potential Q*, in my theory, violates Abner Shimonys passion at a distance and the no-cloning a quantum theorem of orthodox quantum theory. This is a conjectured post-quantum theory that contains orthodox quantum theory as a limiting case when the afore-mentioned back-reaction vanishes. This limit is one of sub-quantal heat death thermal equilibrium of the matter hidden variables. Living matter violates this condition. Death is the return to sub-quantal thermal equilibrium.

Our past particle horizon is the future light cone of our Alpha Point of Creation. Our future event horizon hologram pixilated cosmic conscious computer is the past light cone of Teilhard de Chardins Omega Point Noosphere what Stephen Hawking called the Mind of God. This is the Cosmic Trigger Final Secret of the Illuminati in a Nutshell that Robert Anton Wilson was seeking but never found. We are the 3D hologram images projected back from the future from the 2D future horizon celestial sphere that surrounds us. We are always at its center. This is a property of the dark energy accelerating the speed of expansion of 3D space from the Alpha Point 13.7 billion years ago. This is a very crazy idea. Is it crazy enough to be true? From Eternity Back to Here-Now The dark energy density is inversely proportional to the area A of our future horizon made up from about 10122 pixel quanta of area of 10-66 cm2 in the asymptotically constant de Sitter space future of our universe. That is the finite maximum entropy of our observable piece of the multiverse infinity of parallel universes at Level 1 of Max Tegmarks classification.

Adapted from Fig. 5.1 Tamara Davis Ph.D. The entropy/area at the initial Alpha Point of The Creation is only one bit one pixel. This solves the problem of the Arrow of Time, why we get older as the universe expands that Sean Carroll had no good answer for in his latest book. The problem of why the Second Law of Thermodynamics works is trivial in his hologram theory since we are merely holographic image projections from the future Omega Point Destiny Matrix horizon computer. Note that the number of voxel quanta of volume V that the future horizon of area A surrounds at a given conformal time is equal to the number of quanta of area. What Carlo Suares called the wall of light in Paris in 1973 is simply this future de Sitter horizon that he had a precognitive remote viewing of, but he did not have the precise physics terms for since he was an artist and a poet like Jean Cocteau not a physicist.

Time runs vertical in this diagram. Space runs horizontal. The edge of the cylinder is the black hole horizon. No light can escape from it classically ignoring the quantum Hawking blackbody radiation in the first approximation. The central line is the black hole singularity where the curvature is infinite. Static detectors can only exist outside the horizon and they must accelerate in curved 4D spacetime in order to stand still relative to the horizon. They detect real blackbody photons whose temperature is infinite on the horizon.lxxv In contrast, a coincident freely-falling detectors does not see any real blackbody photons only the virtual photons inside the vacuum would be detected indirectly e.g. Lamb shift of atomic spectral lines. This is an example of black hole complementarity. Furthermore, all horizons are pixelated like a computer display with quanta of area. We are surrounded by, inside of two such cosmological horizons one in our past and the other in our future. The intrinsic tensor property of Einsteins curved spacetime is the relative tippings or disclinations between neighboring invariant light cone pencils of null geodesics that are all aligned parallel to each other in the globally flat Minkowski space-time of Special Relativity like the aligned magnetic moments in a ferromagnet. The bending of light by gravity is an effect of this. Indeed that is how we detect the presence of invisible dark matter by its gravitational lensing of starlight similar to Eddingtons observations of the bending of light by the Sun in the Isle of Principe near Africa in 1918 except dark matter is like the Black Sun of the Russian Occultists in Michael Murphys novel An End to Ordinary History about the Soviet KGB and paranormal Psi Wars with the CIA. Carlo Suaress wall of light is when the light cones tip over so much that no classical light rays can escape to distant detectors. This is the horizon and it is thermodynamic with a quantized entropy that emits real black-body thermalized photons even to a freely-falling time like geodesic detector that experiences zero g-force (aka weight). Holographic Universe Conjecture Suggested by Nobel Prize Physicist Gerardus t Hooft in 1993 and also Leonard Susskind that the maximum information in a volume V of space is proportional to the area A of a closed surface surrounding that space.

The idea comes from black hole physics that if you focus too much energy into V you make a black hole. This modifies Heisenbergs quantum uncertainty principle

Notice that the position uncertainty !x in a conventional Von Neumann quantum measurement, e.g. using the Heisenberg microscope, decreases to a minimum and then starts increasing again from the formation of a highly unstable small black hole horizon that will quickly explode via the emission of Hawking radiation. The hologram principle says that the number of 2D pixels (quanta of area) of Planck area LP2 ~ 10-66 cm2 tiling the area A of the closed surface horizon hologram equals the number of projected hologram image 3D voxel (quanta of volume) in the finite interior volume V that A surrounds.

We have assumed flat Euclidean 3D space geometry, which is actually true on the large cosmological scale of de Sitter (dS) spacetime with the positive Einstein cosmological constant L actually observed in Type 1A supernovae anomalous redshifts showing the accelerating, i.e. increasing speed of expansion of 3D space away from the moment of inflation that causes the hot Big Bang 13.7 billion years ago. Note that the imaged V is retro-casually projected back from the intersection of our here-now future light cone with our future dS cosmological event horizon according to the 1940 Wheeler-Feynman principle of advanced action at a distance. Our future event horizon hologram is the Wheeler-Feynman total absorber which explains why radiation is only observed in retarded form propagating from past to future. This same idea explains the Arrow of Time that we age as the space volume V accelerates to larger values approaching an asymptotically constant value as far as light signal observations are concerned. That is, the effective volume V of our observable piece of the multiverse is bounded from above at ~ 10123 voxel/pixels even though the total multiverse is infinite. We would need post-quantum signal nonlocality to remote view the rest of the multi-verse beyond our past and future horizons shown on my modification of Tamara Daviss Fig 1.1c conformal time diagram. Also I should mention that the closed surface A of our future event horizon is a non-bounding 2-cycle in the mathematical language of homology because each pixel projects a singular geometrodynamical monopole topological point defect in the post-inflation macro-quantum coherent vacuum superconducting fabric of Einsteins curved spacetime. In fact, the Cartan tetrad gravitational fieldslxxvi of timelike geodesic LIF observers, as well as the Penrose-Newman-Rindler null light cone tetrads are emergent from the vacuum superconductor just like the frictionless flow field in

273

superfluid helium and supercurrents in electrical superconductors. Indeed, the world crystal lattice of Hagen Kleinert is a 4D supersolid with the point defects as the lattice points. Curvature and torsion are disclinations and dislocations imperfections in the lattice of point defects. We are Platonic Shadows on a distant wall, but the wall is in our future. A horizon is a wall of black light in Einsteins curved space time that acts like a computer according to Seth Lloyd at MIT.

John Archibald Wheelers IT FROM BIT The pixilated black light event horizons are also electrical membranes241 with thermodynamic entropy and Hawking blackbody radiation. We are outside observer-independent black hole event horizons, but we are always centered inside our observer-dependent future de Sitter dark energy event horizon and also we are inside our past particle horizon shown on Tamara Daviss Fig 1.1.

Jacob Bekenstein and Stephen Hawking discovered that the maximum information swallowed by a black hole is its event horizon area A divided by the quantum of area ~ 10-66 cm2 in quantum gravity. Hawkings formula is Entropy = (Boltzmanns constant)(Area of Horizon)/4(Planck Area)

The energy-mass of the horizon is proportional to the square root of the Area, therefore as the very small black hole radiates energy, it gets smaller increasing its temperature and its rate of emission in an unstable positive feedback loop, i.e. a fast explosion. This should be seen in the Large Hadron Collider (LC) in Geneva if Abdus Salams f-gravity idea is correct where there is a strong short-range gravity 40 powers of ten bigger than Newtons from the exchange of a virtual tachyonic (spacelike) massive spin 2 f-meson outside the local light cones of special relativity. The lifetime of the black hole is

One advantage of Abdus Salams theory is that it gives simple explanations for the basic experimental data of hadronic string theory, the parallel Regge trajectories of hadronic resonances, in terms of small rotating Kerr black holes whose angular momentum is proportional to the square of their mass.

The slopes are all the same because of the universality of Einsteins equivalence principle the same minimal coupling of the GeoMetroDynamic (GMD) field to all the matter fields because the gravity charge is simply Einsteins iconic 1905 equation E = mc2. This includes virtual quanta zero point energy inside the vacuum no form of energy is exempt from gravitys rainbow. Indeed, this gives a simple explanation of both dark energy and dark matter as virtual bosons and virtual fermion-antifermion pairs (closed Feynman diagram vacuum loops in time) respectively. Not only that, but we have a very simple intuitive picture of Frank Wilczeks Lightness of Being the quark confinement and asymptotic freedom of Quantum Chromo Dynamics (QCD) generalization of U1 local gauge theory to SU3. The basic dark matter QCD physics is then that of the SU3 3D quantum harmonic oscillator whose potential energy is

Intuitively, this colored massless gluon effective static potential is from the clumping of virtual quark-antiquark pairs whose density exceeds that of the virtual gluon pairs inside the hadrons. Therefore, perhaps not any area will do for t Hoofts and Susskinds crazy hologram conjecture, we need a special kind of area A a null geodesic horizon. Dark Energy From Our Future Hologram About 3/4 of our universe is made of dark energy - a repelling anti-gravity field accelerating the speed of 3D space expanding from the Big Bang 13.7 billion years ago - at the Alpha Point. Einsteins 1916 theory of gravity passes every observational test with flying colors. It tells us that the dark energy density is proportional to the inverse area A of a horizon that is in our future not in our past! Event horizons are Nature's static LNIF detectors. Hawking's radiation is easily understood intuitively as energy from the gravity field at the null geodesic horizon of a black hole lifting virtual electron-positron pairs et-al from off-mass-shell to on-mass-shell. We are outside the observer-independent black hole horizon. The Unruh temperature of the real plasma at the event horizon is T ~ (c2/rs)(1 - rs/(rs +LP))-1/2 ~ (c2/rs)(rss/LP)1/2 for static LIFs outside the horizon However, in the far-field limit r >> rs T --> c2/rs The Wheeler-Feynman total absorber is dual to the above! We are inside our observer-dependent de Sitter dark energy future event horizon - we are at r = 0 in the static LNIF representation of Einstein's dS metric tensor field. Now here is what I suspect I am the only one so far to realize - at least James Woodward does not know it, and until recently, I would have agreed with him. Also I was completely dissatisfied with Sean Carroll's "From Eternity to Here" because its great title, like Paul Davies "God and

277

The New Physics" was false advertising - did not deliver on the implicate promise. God was nowhere to be found between the covers of Davies book, and why we age as the universe accelerates was not explained in Carroll's book. This is a vaporware trend in physics today started by Brian Greene and Michio Kaku on TV. Lest we forget, last but not least, the application of string theory to financial derivatives on Wall Street - Sting242 Theory - pardon me for rubbing salt on wounds. In another relevant case, talking about signal nonlocality in extended quantum theory without talking about consciousness and the paranormal is like a loveless marriage. ;-) The Hare and The Tortoise The pre-dark energy FRW cosmology had Einsteins cosmological constant vanish, i.e., /\ = 0 without any finite future event horizon and without any natural explanation for irreversibility's arrow of time, why the entropy of the early universe was so small - why we age and die as space expands. Indeed from Wheeler and Feynman to Hoyle and Narlikar we know that retarded causality from past to future does not work when /\ = 0, but it does work for any /\ > 0. The reason is simple, eventually all real on-mass-shell quanta peter out like the Hare. Virtual quanta are like the Tortoise or super Energizer Bunny - they always win out in the end. Therefore, the initial cosmological redshift from the stretching of the de Broglie wavelengths will eventually give way to the blueshifting anti-gravity repulsive field of the virtual off-mass-shell bosons on the large scale doing work on them resulting in the Planck-scale limited temperature at the future dS horizon that they are inside of as r --> /\-1/2. The hot plasma at the future horizon is completely opaque to any real quanta getting there. This plasma is self-generated by the real quanta themselves! If no real quanta attempt to cross, that region of space will be quiet.

End Notes

I believe I was the first to coin the phrase back from the future and there is strong circumstantial evidence that I inspired the film Back to the Future because of my being part of Francis Ford Coppolas rat pack in the late 1970s and his wife Ellies enthusiasm for my book Space-Time and Beyond with Wolf and Toben. Aharonov and his student's work on weak measurements is good and his interpretation is what I have been proposing since the late

301

1960's motivated by Wheeler-Feynman and Fred Hoyle. I hope historians like David Kaiser at MIT will set the record straight that Fred Alan Wolf and I were thinking along these lines since we were on the faculty at San Diego State more than 40 years ago. We do not wish to take away any of Aharonov's glory and we thank him for filling in vital details and testing the ideas in a Popper falsifiable way. Aharonovs first paper on the influence from the future does date from 1964 before I started thinking about it technically. However, my work with Fred Alan Wolf on it in the late 60s was done in ignorance of Aharonovs important papers. Oddly, I dont recall David Bohm talking about these ideas at all when I was a Research Fellow with him at Birkbeck College, University of London in 1971. Only I.J. Good and Fred Hoyle seem to have discussed it openly, but the mainstream paid little attention to the best of my knowledge. I.J. Good who elevated this idea to a GOD(D) entity with signal nonlocality violating the quantum theory restrictions. Now I know that I. J. Good's GOD(D) is located on our future dark energy hologram event horizon. I.J. worked with Alan Turing breaking the Nazi War Code in WWII. Turing ate a poisoned apple because he was, like Oscar Wilde, hounded by the police for being gay.

Paraphrase of J.D. Bernal, The World, The Flesh and The Devil (1920s, Birkbeck College, University of London). This would imply that Einsteins greatest blunder was not the cosmological constant, but his saying that God was subtle not malicious. Indeed, the jealous God, Yahweh, would be unsubtle and malicious, more like The Devil. What do you think? Now that the retro-causality that Fred Alan Wolf and I have been suggesting for decades has been made fashionable by FQ Foundation, Templeton Prize winner Paul Davies's promotion of Yakir Aharonov's "weak measurements" with the post-selection reaching back from the future to the present etc, Hawking may have missed the boat. I seem to be the only one connecting all the dots here with the hologram universe and Tamara Davis's 2004 Ph.D. Paul Davies was on her committee and I am surprised he did not see the obvious link - maybe he did? Hawking's "Mind of God" at the end of his "Brief History of Time" is alive and well literally on our 2D future event horizon that is the computer that MIT's Seth Lloyd writes about. The dark energy density in our pre-selected past light cone is the inverse area of our post-selected future light cone's intersection with our future observerdependent de Sitter horizon hologram. We are its retrocausally projected 3D images in this crazy hologram paradigm unleashed by Gerardus t Hooft and Lenny Susskind. Litttle did they know they had opened Pandora's Box.

More precisely the dark energy density we see in our past light cone is proportional to the reciprocal area of our future observer-dependent event horizon causal boundary of our observable accelerating universe.

Futurism was an international art movement founded in Italy in 1909. It was (and is) a refreshing contrast to the weepy sentimentalism of Romanticism. The Futurists loved speed, noise, machines, pollution, and cities; they embraced the exciting new world that was then upon them rather than hypocritically enjoying the modern worlds comforts while loudly denouncing the forces that made them possible. Fearing and attacking technology has become almost second nature to many people today; the Futurist manifestos show us an alternative philosophy. Too bad they were all Fascists. http://www.unknown.nu/futurism/

On Sep 30, 2010, at 2:58 PM, James F. Woodward wrote: A few clarificatory comments are perhaps in order. First, has alluded to "Jim's theory". Flattering as this is, it isn't really right. I have no "theory" in the usual sense of that word. I am convinced that Einstein's general relativity theory (GRT) -- without any added on ZPE or ZPF baggage -- is correct. I am also convinced that GRT fully accounts for the origin of inertial reaction forces as the gravitational action of the chiefly distant "matter" [everything, including dark matter and energy] that gravitates.

Exactly my point! "distant stars" are too small a fraction of the total stuff.

302

That is, Mach's principle is correct. It has been known for 40 years or more that Mach's principle is a "boundary" condition on GRT -Exactly, but I am saying the important boundary is our future event horizon! namely, if "critical cosmic matter density" obtains and [space] is flat at the cosmic scale, then inertial reaction forces are purely gravitational in origin. Cosmic [space] flatness has been known to be the the fact of reality since the WMAP results were reported some years ago. The correctness of Mach's principle, as Hoyle and Narlikar figured out in the '60s requires that Wheeler-Feynman "absorber" theory apply to gravity (and presumably electrodynamics). That fixes the future, and in the post t Hooft era leads to the talk about holograms. I suppose you could say that Mach's principle being correct enables the hologram interpretation. The reverse, however, is not necessarily true. So we agree on this fundamental issue. Such work as I have done that sometimes gets mistaken for "theory" consists of some calculations using the theoretical notions of others (notably relativity theory) to show that there may well be a way to ultimately make absurdly benign wormholes -- that is, stargates (a term familiar to several on this list). Whether those calculations are right will eventually be sorted out in the laboratory; but in the interrim they make fodder for interesting speculation. I might also add that John Cramer's retrocausal signaling experiment should shed light (so to speak) on whether the future is fixed or not. Oddly enough, the creator of the transactional interpretation of QM -- which seems to fix the future -- does not himself think that the future is fully fixed. Just a little bit in advance of the present, freezing out like ice crystals forming on a pane of glass in winter. . . . Is that Popper falsifiable? May you be successful in your projects, Jim Woodward There is also Aharonov's idea of "post-selection" on our future event horizon.

Key Excerpts - bottom line the military threat - the key observational evidence:

PROGRESS REPORT COMMISSION SIGMA/3AF, Paris, May 31, 2010 ... "The documents discussed during our presentation of October 1, 2008, especially the summary of General Twining, dated 23-09-1947, to the commander of the Air Materiel Command, did not say anything else. Other elements confirmed by official documents, such as repeated overflights of the facilities of the Atomic Energy Commission from 1948 to 1952, the deprogramming of ICBMs in 1967, and more recently, the deliberate interference with airliners, as in Bariloche, Argentina, confirm our hypothesis The behavior of these devices during encounters with fighter jets or interceptors some have participated in real swirling battles in the U.S. suggests they are controlled, guided or led by particularly sophisticated automation. ... The observations made since 1946 suggest that some craft use an unknown technology. However, we have not yet sufficiently analyzed the documents and available evidence. We are content for now to cite a few examples: Longitudinal accelerations exceeding 10 g were measured in Belgium by Air Force interceptors in 1989, 1990 and 91. We will resume an analysis of the data recorded available to us. Remarkable accelerations of the craft right after a stationary mode were repeatedly noted by civilian witnesses. Unusual accelerations and decelerations, sudden stops as well as very tight turns were detected simultaneously by two radars and observed by competent witnesses over Washington DC on July 19, 26 and 29, 1952. Radar echoes of these objects were also detected briefly on the onboard radars by the crew of the F-

303

93 interceptors chasing after them. An unknown form of support that does not involve the reaction of a mass projected down as is the case for aircraft, helicopters and rockets was noted on multiple occasions, especially in the case of Trans-en-Provence [January 1981] and Amaranth [October 1982]. It was shown by some of the devices involved in the flights over Scandinavia during the summer of 1946 * [* See Hillenkoetter document]. Many witnesses in France in 1954 observed in the sky stationary craft of great dimensions. It should be emphasized that no man-made aerial craft is capable of these kinds of performances Flights at very low speed of very large craft, often triangular in shape, were observed at very low altitude by dozens of motorists in Belgium in 1989 and 1990. On November 5, 1990, in France, between 6:15 p.m. and 7:45 p.m., many apparatus of various shapes were observed and even filmed on two main routes: from the tip of Finistre to Strasbourg, and the Basque Country to Nancy, passing through the Massif Central. The observations ranged from a triangle with lights at the bottom, to an elongated wingless fuselage over two hundred meters long [Gretz-Armainvilliers]. An unusual silence was noted during most of these events.A speed of 2300 km/h in horizontal flight was reported by radar in Finland in 1946. Speeds of about Mach 5 at relatively low altitude 9 to 10000 meters were measured by an airliner in 1966, southwest of Buenos Aires. In July 1994, air traffic radar on the Detroit vertical, measured the same speed at a slightly higher altitude. This last observation was confirmed by three airliner crews of Air France, Lufthansa and Olympic Airways. ... Because of kinetic heating leading edges and a high-drag, these performances are virtually out of reach of current military aircraft which was even more true in 1966. A particular form of stealth has been verified with regards to the simultaneous observation of a very large aerial disc by CDB Duboc and his crew, as well as by an air defense radar station. While the disc observed visually disappeared for the crew of Air France, it continued to be detected by the military radars. In other cases, the craft remained clearly visible to the observers but without appearing on the radar screens. It seems that this was the case for some of the observations made on November 5, 1990. The air superiority of the craft concerned, if they are indeed crafts, is such that none of the many interceptions which have been made against them, in the United States for example, have been able to overcome one of these devices. On the contrary, they allegedly caused the destruction of several U.S. aircraft launched in their pursuit in the late forties. They seem able to violate with impunity the airspaces of the best defended countries in the world. The above features suggest that in many cases On November 5, 1990, in France, between 6:15 p.m. and 7:45 p.m., many apparatus of various shapes were observed and even filmed on two main routes: from the tip of Finistre to Strasbourg, and the Basque Country to Nancy, passing through the Massif Central. The observations ranged from a triangle with lights at the bottom, to an elongated wingless fuselage over two hundred meters long [Gretz-Armainvilliers]. An unusual silence was noted during most of these events. The above features suggest that in many cases the devices detected, far from being unidentified, are easily recognizable by the aerial defense agencies as part of a technology far ahead of ours. [The jerky trajectories at right angles and the descents like dead leafs are known since the fifties. High speeds at relatively low elevations appear in several documents (La Paz for example.). They seem almost like signatures!] ... We feel that we must reject the thesis of a terrestrial origin for all the observations made since World War Two. Indeed, if a nation of the world had been able to secretly develop such an armada of exotic craft, like those observed for more than half a century, the means of analysis and strategic logistics available would have permitted their rapid identification. The illegal overflights which they have been guilty of conducting could constitute a casus belli ... However, repeated overflights from 1948 to 1949 of all the U.S. bases where atomic weapons were constructed and stored, could be considered a clear transactional message and an implied threat. The same can be said for the confirmed deprogramming of ICBMs at Malmstrom AFB in Montana on March 16, 1967, for example, while a luminous machine the size of a B-52 flew over the site at very low altitude.

I remember some of the material I read previously in I believe it was Miller as well as other books on the subject. This discussion reminds me of two lawyers arguing about the Constitution; one is taking the view that it should be based upon the Principles when it was written at the time versus one where the principles should consider current situations and events. Obviously they could not come to agreement because of the diversity of views and depending upon their clientele, one will be very successful while the other will not because he has become irrelevant.

Jack wrote: Good analogy. It is good that you look into the historical context of things but this is something that requires great caution. There will always be individuals that would like to rewrite history to fit there own particular needs. This goes to say that the Holocaust or Armenian genocide never happened or that north Korea has always been benevolent to South Korea which the younger generation shallows hook, line and sinker. Although these discussions are important and interesting, it is purely speculative to say Einstein meant this or that. Jack wrote: To be fair to Z he does quote Einstein's actual words - some of the time. You can only be guided by his thoughts but not to actually suggest he would say either this or that. Jack: OK. That is pure speculation. Jack: Right. Moreover, we should have learned a certain amount of things since the time period that he formulated Special Relativity and so on. For example, the average person probably knows more about the Moon because of the Apollo experience than Einstein ever would. In fact there are probably teenagers around that could create a fusion bomb which is something that may have been out of Einstein's realm of thinking... or perhaps maybe I am rewriting some segment of history? The issue is what is relevant? How have we used his theory to get off of this beautiful blue rock we call the Earth? Jack wrote: The work in warp drive, wormholes and time travel is all based on Einstein's key idea that matter field stress-energy current densities can curve spacetime into Closed Timelike Curves (CTCs). Of course we need to amplify this effect maybe with superconducting meta-materials and there is the issue that some think quantum gravity will cause a deadly explosion right at the moment time travel to the past becomes possible (Hawking's CPC Chronology Protection Conjecture) making reality safe for historians - you can't go back again and change the past is the idea there. George Orwell would like that of course. How have we advanced his theory to improve our understanding of the laws that Mother Nature has forced down our throats? Talking about a historical context leaves you at step one when you should try to leap forward and venture out to the stars! It is time to move on to greater intellectual challenges... Jack: Yes, I agree. Z is stuck in a back water - a quibble at best on what possibly was a mild muddle in Einstein's thinking in the early days when, in Arthur Koestler's sense, he was sleepwalking. Again, thank you for the item but I would be more interested in what his theory says in terms of space-time warps and overcoming singularities as well as creating gravitational vortexes in a space drive... that can move faster than the speed of light or into other dimensions...

a meaningful synchronicity, i.e. nonlocality across time as in Yakir Aharonovs weak measurements where Destiny and History collide in the Present. We need signal nonlocality to complete the explanation. Abner Shimonys passion at a distance and the no-cloning a quantum theorem of text book quantum theory simply break down for all living matter in my opinion. Signal nonlocality is Henri Bergsons elan vital found in Ilya Prigogines non-equilibrium dissipative structure with macro-quantum coherence from spontaneous symmetry breaking in the ground state of the living system.

It may be shown that quantum nonequilibrium for entangled systems leads to nonlocal signals at the statistical level, in pilot-wave theory (as already mentioned) and indeed in any deterministic hidden-variables theory; while in equilibrium, the under- lying nonlocal effects cancel out at the statistical level. Locality is therefore a contingency (or emergent feature) of the equilibrium state. Similarly, standard uncertainty-principle limitations on measurements are also contingencies of equilibrium. These results provide an explanation for the otherwise mysterious conspiracy in the foundations of current physics, according to which (roughly speaking) quantum noise and the uncertainty principle prevent us from using quantum nonlocality for practical nonlocal signaling. From the above perspective, this conspiracy is not part of the laws of physics, but merely a contingent feature of the equilibrium state (much as the inability to convert heat into work, in a state of global thermal equilibrium, is not a law of physics but a contingency of the state). On this view, quantum physics is merely the effective description of a particular statejust as, for example, the standard model of particle physics is merely the effective description of (perturbations around) a particular vacuum state (arising from spontaneous symmetry breaking). If one takes this view seriously, it suggests that nonequilibrium phenomena should exist somewhere (or some time) in our Universe. And again, the early Universe seems the natural place to look. In the case of particle mechanics (for simplicity), the hidden variables are the particle positions on some spacelike hypersurface. Clearly if these particles are pumped they are kept off thermal equilibrium and should show signal nonlocality with statistical behavior violating the Born rule. Valentini only considers closed systems without any external pump. Furthermore, if these particles are in a Bose-Einstein condensate, the macro-quantum coherent phase rigidity will definitely cause large departures away from the statistical predictions of ordinary quantum theory in which these same particles are independent forming an ensemble.

Subquantum Information and Computation, Antony Valentini (Submitted on 11 Mar 2002 (v1), last revised 12 Apr 2002 (this version, v2)) It is argued that immense physical resources - for nonlocal communication, espionage, and exponentially-fast computation - are hidden from us by quantum noise, and that this noise is not fundamental but merely a property of an equilibrium state in which the universe happens to be at the present time. It is suggested that 'non-quantum' or nonequilibrium matter might exist today in the form of relic particles from the early universe. We describe how such matter could be detected and put to practical use. Nonequilibrium matter could be used to send instantaneous signals, to violate the uncertainty principle, to distinguish non-orthogonal quantum states without disturbing them, to eavesdrop on quantum key distribution, and to outpace quantum computation (solving NP-complete problems in polynomial time).

310

http://www.tcm.phy.cam.ac.uk/~mdt26/deBB_poster.png A quantum foundations discussion workshop on the de Broglie-Bohm formulation of quantum mechanics and related topics is to take place in late August/early September 2010 at the Apuan Alps Centre for Physics, a 15th-century Tuscan former monastery in the mountains near the beautiful Italian city of Lucca. It is hoped that the meeting will be of great interest to anyone stimulated by the work of physicists Louis de Broglie and David Bohm, and by the directions their ideas have followed through the work of many people over more than eighty years. The meeting is being organized by Cambridge University physicist Dr. Mike Towler, who owns and runs the monastery, and Prof. Antony Valentini of Imperial College, London and Clemson University in South Carolina. In its six years of operation, the monastery has become well-known as a unique communal venue where the community spirit and magnificent location have inspired a series of memorable meetings; we very much hope this workshop will continue this tradition. The usual format of workshops at this venue is intended to encourage a relaxed and intellectually-stimulating atmosphere rather different to the 8am to 7pm grind of your regular conference. Formal talks are restricted to the mornings, and participants are given the freedom and space to think and to contemplate and discuss the issues at hand in front of the many available blackboards. For the young and vigorous, afternoon mountain walks, caving, and other healthy outdoor pursuits are organized, whilst the unfit and elderly might enjoy artistic tours, reading and conversation in the garden, and gentle country strolls, with all participants reuniting in the evening for excellent Tuscan dinners in local restaurants. It is hoped that by taking part in these activities, whilst breathing clean mountain air and having access to good food and wine, participants will be able to return home mentally and physically refreshed as well as having learned something new about science. De Broglie-Bohm theory is a 'hidden variables' formulation of quantum mechanics initially developed by de Broglie from 1923-1927 and clarified and extended by Bohm beginning in 1952. In non-relativistic quantum theory it differs from the orthodox viewpoint in that the notion of 'probability' refers to the probability that a particle *is* at some position, rather than to its probability of being found there in a suitable measurement. From this seemingly subtle difference it is easy to show that - contrary to popular belief - QM can be interpreted as a dynamical theory of particle trajectories rather than as a statistical theory of observation. In such a formalism the standard paradoxes related to measurement, observation and wave function collapse (Schroedinger's cat, and so on) largely evaporate. The classical limit does not have to be presupposed and emerges from the theory in a relatively clear way. All the 'talk' is replaced by sharply-defined mathematics, it becomes possible to 'visualize' the reality of most quantum events, and - most importantly the theory is completely consistent with the full range of QM predictive-observational data. While some believe the study of interpretational questions to be mere semantics or 'just philosophy', it is often forgotten that the location of the boundary between philosophy and physics is unknown, and that one's philosophical perspective can guide mathematical developments. For many people it is clear that de Broglie-Bohm theory should be studied, not only because it is beginning to

311

make apparently testable predictions, but also because it has the potential to suggest possible directions towards the next generation of ideas in theoretical physics. Over the years the subject has been somewhat contentious, both internally and in its relationship with people working in other areas. It is however clear that - because of its fringe nature in modern physics - there is a singular need for researchers in the field to move forward with a common purpose. The meeting therefore intends to focus the energies of professionals in quantum foundations by resolving, in so far as is possible, any conflicts that have arisen. Areas of disagreement will be identified, and inspired by the relaxed environment and generous spirit engendered by the monastery, participants shall work towards achieving a harmonious understanding. The formation of new collaborations, the beginning of new projects, and the identification of the best new directions for 21st-century research are to be encouraged. Participants will also work towards mutually satisfactory answers to specific objections levelled by critics of de Broglie-Bohm theory (some of whom will be invited); a summary of the best answers to such objections - if we can agree on them - will be put on a suitable website afterwards. Though the format of the meeting is highly flexible and suggestions are most welcome, an initial suggestion for possible topics might include: - Quantum non-equilibrium and 'signal non-locality'. Dynamical relaxation to quantum equilibrium. Potential instabilities in the Bohm dynamics. - Possible deeper interpretations of de Broglie-Bohm theory (such as Basil Hiley's new quantum algebra work). - Pilot-wave field theories and relativistic generalizations - De Broglie-Bohm quantum cosmology - 'Deconstructing' the wave function. Can the theory be reduced to 3-space waves? Norsen's 'theory of exclusively local beables'. - Proposed experimental tests (Valentini, Riggs, etc..) - The ontological status of the theory. First or Second order? Energy. Empty waves. The arguments for and against psi-epistemic hidden-variables theories. Alternative formulations of deterministic hidden-variables theories. Non-Markovian trajectory theories. - Comparison with the consistent histories formulation. - Use of trajectories for efficient numerical simulations in quantum chemistry. - Spin, antisymmetry, the exclusion principle and the 'quantum force.' - Responses to common objections (it's not possible for particles to exist; particles going round corners ought to radiate etc.). - The best way to teach the subject. Why should young people be interested

312

in these ideas, when showing interest in quantum foundations still might harm their careers? Of what use is de Broglie-Bohm theory and why is it to be studied? In deciding on suitable topics for talks, speakers are encouraged to avoid rehashing old arguments to which, ultimately, the answers are a matter of opinion. Rather, we are looking for genuinely new, forward-looking material which can guide future research in quantum foundations. Given the nature of the event, most participants will be specifically invited, but anyone who feels they have something to contribute and wishes to attend the meeting should contact the organizers for further details. The initial list of people to be invited is as follows: Guido Bacciagaluppi, Herman Batalaan, Andrew Bennett, Harvey Brown, Jeremy Butterfield, Samuel Colin, Murray Daw, Maaneli Derakhshani, Chris Dewdney, Felipe Falciano, Arthur Fine, Sheldon Goldstein, Jonathan Halliwell, Jim Hartle, Lucien Hardy, Basil Hiley, Peter Holland, Adrian Kent, Tim Maudlin, David Mermin, Alberto Montina, Lubos Motl, Wayne Myrvold, Hrvoje Nikolic, Travis Norsen, Philip Pearle, Roger Penrose, Alejandro Perez, Patrick Peter, Nelson Pinto-Neto, Paavo Pylkkanen, Peter Riggs, Carlo Rovelli, Jack Sarfatti, Simon Saunders, Maximilian Schlosshauer, Ilja Schmelzer, Lee Smolin, Rafael Sorkin, Rob Spekkens, Ward Struyve, Mike Towler, Roderick Tumulka, Jos Uffink, Lev Vaidman, Antony Valentini, David Wallace, Robert Wyatt, James Yearsley. Space permitting, students and family members are welcome.

We look forward to seeing you in Tuscany in summer 2010. Warm regards, Mike Towler and Antony Valentini

Allegedly from Edie Sedgwick to Andy Warhol according to my former North Beach room-mate David Gladstone who wrote an unpublished shorter version of my story in close collaboration with me back in 1992. Here are some excerpts. Note that the idea of the future influencing the past today professed by Yakir Aharonov, Paul Davies and their students, is clearly articulated in this 1992 document archived on the internet. Also note that at this time in 1992, like Nick Herbert in his FLASH, I was still trying to find a loophole in orthodox quantum theory for signal nonlocality. I no longer think that's possible of course. The turning point was about 1993 or so when I read Bohm and Hiley's The Undivided Universe when it first came out and noticed their discussion of the fragility of the quantum potential - action of Q on particle with no direct back-reaction of particle on Q needed for Born probability rule - and I immediately grasped my conceptual error - the missing piece of the puzzle. By the time of the 1996 Stuart Hameroffs Tucson Conference where I gave a talk, I had clearly formulated the signal nonlocality idea independently as the breakdown of the test particle approximation for the hidden variables. I had not heard of Antony Valentini's concept of "sub-quantal nonequilibrium" in 1996. Indeed, I am under the impression he did not publish it until 2002. The connection between these two notions is yet to be understood. David Gladstone wrote: Edie's image lives on. An icon that has the power to evoke an era or inspire imitation. Carl Jung attributed to such images a kind of magnetic power to attract events, linking the future and the past through loops of meaning which cannot be explained by the accepted definition of causality. Edie's power to fascinate is demonstrated by her continual 'resurrection' in books and films. While working on this article, Oliver Stone's The Doors played on the TV unwatched. Suddenly, I looked up and there was Edie, gyrating amid a swirl of bodies on the screen - 10

seconds of Edie and we are back at the Factory, ca., 1967. Edie is gone. Andy wants nothing more to do with her. Viva has taken her place, but she is not Edie. Jim Morrison, the latest avatar of the god of "Rock and Cock", is brought to the Factory to meet Andy who greets Morrison like the returning prodigal son. The camera focuses on a gold telephone, which Warhol picks up and holds out to Morrison saying: Edie gave me this phone, it's a God phone. ... She said I could talk to God with it. I don't have anything to say to God...This is for you. Now you can talk to God. The moment has a ritual intensity, as if Edie herself annoints Morrison as the next immortal living legend, and the God Phone a symbol of sovereignty. Jim and Edie become interlinked in a loop of meaning, a synchronicity, which has the power to cause events in the here and now. Changing the article to include this synchronicity entangled me in astrange loop of meaning. Edie's God Phone is a symbolic representation of a device and a new paradigm that could change our lives and our view of the universe. What we are talking about here is a universe designed and created from the future. In such a universe, things that seemed to be mere random coincidences, acquire new levels of meaning. becoming part of a new kind of supercausality. Unhappy with the classical explanation of causality, because it left so many meaningful events in his life unexplained, psychologist Dr. Carl Jung coined the term 'synchronicities' which are meaningful coincidences. Thoughts and events sharing a common meaning are attracted to each other like magnets, across the seemingly impenetrable barrier of space-time; although there is no ordinary causal relationship between them, they are inextricably linked. Dissatisfied with what he learned, Jung concluded that the quantum theory must be incomplete. Many years later biological scientist John Lilly, famous for his work with dolphins, also found the scientific explanation of causality to be unacceptable. What he calls cosmic coincidence control and what Jung called synchronicities are an integral part of what Dr. Jack Sarfatti says is the ordering principle of a superluminal (faster-than-light) universe. In a superluminal universe, what seems to be miraculous or impossible, becomes everyday. People remember the future. Famous cases of accurate dreams of the sinking of a ship or the death of a loved one will be explainable under the new theories being propounded at the leading edge of quantum physics. Becoming aware of Edie's image on my TV screen at the same moment I was writing about her caused me to alter what I was writing, because it seemed as if something was telling me to include Edie in the story. If true, this is the kind of future intervention that alters lives, often without our being consciously aware of anything happening. Sarfatti describes a synchronicity linking him with Edie via her sister Suky: " While waiting for Suky at San Francisco State library, I came across a book that had the name Sedgwick on the binding. The book was called Apology for Old Maids by Suky's grandfather, Henry Dwight Sedgwick. In an essay called 'House of Sorrow' ,there is a quote claiming that the future rather than the past is 'the home of explanation'. I was stunned. I had just read Sir Fred Hoyle's book The Intelligent Universe and had seen almost the same quote. Sedgwick's book was almost 80 years older than Hoyle's. I had experienced yet another 'loop' in time." The moment has a ritual intensity, as if Edie herself annoints Morrison as the next immortal living legend, and the God Phone a symbol of sovereignty. Jim and Edie become interlinked in a loop of meaning, a synchronicity, which has the power to cause events in the here and now. Changing the article to include this synchronicity entangled me in a strange loop of meaning. Edie's God Phone is a symbolic representation of a device and a new paradigm that could change our lives and our view of the universe. What we are talking about here is a universe designed and created from the future. In such a universe, things that seemed to be mere random coincidences, acquire new levels of meaning. becoming part of a new kind of "supercausality." Unhappy with the classical explanation of causality, because it left so many meaningful events in his life unexplained, psychologist Dr. Carl Jung coined the term 'synchronicities' which are meaningful coincidences. Thoughts and events sharing a common meaning are attracted to each other like magnets, across the seemingly impenetrable barrier of space-time; although there is no ordinary causal relationship between them, they are inextricably linked. I should like to make an alarming suggestion...I suggest that we may actually be going badly wrong when we apply the usual physical rules for time when we consider consciousness! here is indeed, something very odd about the way that time actually enters our conscious perceptions...suppose there is something even vaguely teleological about the effects of consciousness, so that a future impression might affect a past action. Surely this would lead us into a contradiction. - Roger Penrose, The Emperor's New Mind

What Penrose, a Royal Society Fellow at Oxford, is considering with some trepidation, is the complete overturning of our notions of cause and effect. The question is this 'Do we live in a superluminal universe or not'? Upon the answer depends the very nature of existence itself. A superluminal universe means final cause, or what we call God. A universe that is not superluminal is most probably random without God. http://www.well.com/gopher/Publications/Miscellaneous/sarfatti.x

Aharonovs earliest relevant papers do date from 1964. The time-asymmetry attributed to the standard formulation of Quantum Mechanics (QM) was inherited from a reasonable tendency learned from Classical Mechanics (CM) to predict the future based on initial conditions: once the equations of motion are fixed in CM, then the initial and final conditions are not independent, only one can be fixed arbitrarily. In contrast, as a result of the uncertainty principle, the relationship between initial and final conditions within QM can be one-to-many: two identical particles with identical environments can subsequently exhibit different properties under identical measurements. These subsequent identical measurements provide fundamentally new information about the system which could not in principle be obtained from the initial conditions. QMs time-asymmetry is the assumption that measurements only have consequences after they are performed, i.e. towards the future. Nevertheless, a positive spin was placed on QMs non-trivial relationship between initial and final conditions by ABL [named after the physicists Yakir Aharonov, Peter Bergmann, and Joel Lebowitz] who showed that the new information obtained from measurements was also relevant for the past of every quantum-system and not just the future. This inspired ABL to re-formulate QM in terms of Pre-and-Post-Selectedensembles. The traditional paradigm for ensembles is to simply prepare systems in a particular state and thereafter subject them to a variety of experiments. These are pre-selected-only-ensembles. For pre-and-post-selectedensembles, we add one more step, a subsequent measurement or post-selection. By collecting only a subset of the outcomes for this later measurement, we see that the pre-selected-only-ensemble can be divided into subensembles according to the results of this subsequent post-selection-measurement. Because pre-and-postselected-ensembles are the most refined quantum ensemble, they are of fundamental importance and subsequently led to the two-vector or Time-Symmetric reformulation of Quantum Mechanics (TSQM) [4, 5]. TSQM provides a complete description of a quantum-system at a given moment by using two-wavefunctions, one evolving from the past towards the future (the one utilized in the standard paradigm) and a second one, evolving from the future towards the past. While TSQM is a new conceptual point-of-view that has predicted novel, verified effects which seem impossible according to standard QM, TSQM is in fact a re-formulation of QM. Therefore, experiments cannot prove TSQM over QM (or vice-versa). The motivation to pursue such re-formulations, then, depends on their usefulness. TSQM brings out features in QM that were missed before: e.g., ABL considered measurement situations between two successive Ideal Measurements (IMs) in which the transition from a state |in> (pre-selected at a time tin) to a state |fin> (post-selected at a later time tfin) is generally disturbed by an intermediate precise measurement. Post- selection reflects a unique aspect of QM in that measurement results are not determined by equations of motion and initial conditions. A subsequent theoretical development arising out of the ABL work was the introduction of the Weak Value (WV) of an observable which was probed by a new type of quantum measurement called the Weak Measurement (WM) [4]. WM experiments have been performed and results are in very good agreement with theoretical predictions. One of the unusual properties of WVs (and a manifestation of superoscillations) is that they can lie far outside the eigenvalue spectrum. - Jeff Tollaksen http://iopscience.iop.org/1742-6596/70/1/012016/pdf/jpconf7_70_012016.pdf

Making Stargates by James F. Woodward, Department of Physics, California State University, Fullerton, CA 92834, jwoodward@fullerton.edu Stargates extremely short throat absurdly benign wormholes enabling near instantaneous travel to arbitrarily remote locations in both space and time have been a staple of science fiction now for decades. And the physical requirements for the production of such devices have been known since the work of Morris and Thorne in 1988. Their work has engendered a small but significant literature on the issue of making stargates and warp drives. If we take seriously the evidence of reports of anomalous, mostly aerial, phenomena as some do, then we can argue that clever aliens have already mastered the physical theory and technical issues of making such devices. And, presumably, if they can make them, so ought we to be able to as well. For the sake of argument, without taking a stand on the reality of any anomalous aerial and other phenomena, we posit that clever aliens really have succeeded in making stargates. We then ask: what plausible physics must be true if stargates are to be made? The chief problem in making stargates is that they seem to require the assembly of a Jupiter mass of exotic matter concentrated in a thin structure with dimensions of a few tens of meters. Elementary arithmetic reveals that such structures would have a density of on the order of 1022 gm/cm3, that is, orders of magnitude higher than nuclear density. Not only does one have to achieve this stupendous density of negative mass matter, it must be done, presumably, only with the application of low energy electromagnetic fields. Note that Kip specifies "negative energy density" for "static observers" i.e. static LNIF's Einstein's field equations Guv + kTuv = 0 in the weak field static limit reduce to Laplacian of Newtonian potential per unit test mass ~ (index of refraction?)2(G/c2)(energy density)(1 + 3w) Kip obviously back in 1986 was thinking w = 0 and maybe w = 1/3 for real photons. In any case he was not thinking w = -1 dark energy (ZPE from virtual bosons dominating virtual fermion closed loops). So that is part of the semantic confusion in the literature. And you need a Jupiter mass 2 X 1027 kg concentrated in a region of small dimensions. A simple calculation assuming a throat diameter of, say, 10 meters and a wall thickness of a meter or so, leads to an exotic density of, ~ 1022 gm/cm3, that is, on the order of seven orders of magnitude greater than nuclear density. Similar densities, as a matter of idle interest, are required to make warp drives. Faced with this fact, several responses are possible. Thornes recently expressed view is that the engineering of time machines (enabled by stargates) will require a profound understanding of the elusive, yet to be created theory of quantum gravity if it can be done at all. And that may require evolution on our part comparable to the evolutionary distance between amoeba and us. That is, asking us to invent time machines is like asking amoeba to invent jet aircraft. This would mean that the clever aliens who have purportedly already done this are hundreds of millions of years more evolved than are we. A simpler, equivalent stance is to assert that anyone trying to make a stargate is an idiot. To propose that clever aliens have succeeded in this seemingly impossible task is just plain stupid. Working on the problem is a waste of time. Those of this view may be right. But if we adopt this view and abandon all work on the problem, we surely have no chance, however small, of succeeding Another approach to the problem of making stargates is to turn Thornes heuristic question around. Instead of asking what constraints the laws of physics place on clever aliens, we propose that clever aliens have made stargates and ask how, with plausible physics, might they have done so? Of course, allowing physics other than that

316

endorsed by the mainstream opens the door to all sorts of excesses and stupidities. But if only mainstream physics were ever allowed, no progress on much of anything really interesting would ever be made. Arguably, a heuristic exercise of this sort has the same sort of value as that of Thorne and his graduate students years ago in that it illuminates what must be done to achieve the goal of stargates, thus shedding light on the requisite physics and thus on whether they will ever be made.

The notion that knowledge of a future boundary condition could eliminate quantum uncertainty was first put forth by I.J. Good (1916-2009) in "The Scientist Speculates-an Anthology of Partially-Baked Ideas" published in 1964. As far as I am aware Good has priority in this speculation. For the record, I was not consciously influenced by I.J. Good's book about that idea. I think Saul-Paul Sirag showed me that book when I got to San Francisco? Saul-Paul had already cited me in his Berkeley Opera on that idea when I was with Abdus Salam in Trieste before I met Saul-Paul. Actually Feynman has the germ of the idea in his Lagrangian QM fairly explicit in his NR QM paper. I do remember being influenced by Fred Hoyle who is clear about it in his book Intelligent Universe. Also remember Greg Benford's sci-fi novel Timescape - I was collaborating with Greg informally on some of this back at UCSD - part of the gang with Herbie Bernstein, Harry Yesian he fictionalizes in the novel. Of course Hoyle came to La Jolla frequently back then to see the Burbidges and the beaches. Fred Wolf wrote Star Wave in early 80's I think influenced by Feynman's papers. I don't recall Fred even knowing about I.J. Good's book, but maybe I am mistaken? It's not obvious reading Aharonov's and Vaidman's papers that they literally mean a real physical retro-causality on the intermediate measurement by post-selection, which operationally seems to be merely a way of doing the after-the-fact statistical analysis (throwing away - tracing over) final states one is not interested in - similar to how the Bell's theorem-violating correlations are extracted from the raw data. Basically post-selection is temporal EPR correlation rather than spatial. My early ideas on future to past are already recorded in the 1973 SRI tape of my first meeting with Hal Puthoff and Russell Targ arranged by Brendan O Regan during their CIA remote viewing experiments with Uri Geller, Pat Price, Ingo Swann et-al - my idea was implanted in my 1953 "contact" whatever that really was. I never read the Sciama article cited below until Saul-Paul sent it on July 24, 2010. Of course, if we believe in signal nonlocality then my getting the ideas years ago could be the past effect of the future cause of me reading Saul-Pauls message.

Here it is: -----------'Backward time isn't such a new thing, backward time will start long ago.' --Doog (after a popular song). G.N. Lewis* outlined a theory of light in which the present is determined as much by the future as the past. Popper,** contradicting a familiar interpretation of Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, claimed that the position and momentum of a particle can both be determined with arbitrarily high accuracy at a single moment of time, provided one has accurately observed both its earlier position and its later momentum at two specified moments. It is natural then to raise the following question. Given a connected bounded piece of space-time, are all the elementary subatomic events within it that are classically describable (i.e. without explicit reference to quantum mechanics) fully determined by all the classically describable events outside of it? Or, if not, is there any neat way of describing how much indeterminacy is left? Can these questions be answered in terms of existing quantum mechanics, and do they raise interesting new mathematical problems? If the answer to the first question is yes, then we could say that we have two-way determinism, since the present would be mathematically determined jointly by the past and future, however remote. Note however that twoway determinism is a special case of what is usually called 'indeterminism', since the past alone would not

determine the present. This merely shows that language does not alway behave very well. If two-way determinism is true it raises another, more philosophical, question, namely whether we should then say that future events are contributory causes of present ones.*** * Lewis, G.N.: Nature, volume 117, pages 236-8, 1926. ** Popper, K.R.: The Logic of Scientific Discovery: page 231, 1959.

[end of quote from I.J. Good] BTW: I gave a copy of this book to Andrija Puharich in the spring of 1973, when I was working on a story about Uri Geller for Esquire magazine (which was never published). In that story I also mentioned the idea that we are being influenced by us in the future. (Also both Uri and Andrija had discussed this idea). As I have mentioned before Dennis Sciama discussed "two-way determinism" in the book "Determinism and Freedom" (edited by Sidney Hook, New York University, 1958; Collier Books edition, 1961). This is also short so I (again) will type it. -------------------Determinism and the Cosmos Dennis W. Sciama, Trinity College, Cambridge As a physicist I have found the following working hypothesis very useful: violent controversy about a scientific problem is a sign that some simple essential consideration is missing. The polemic, as it were, tries to substitute for the missing point, but of course it never can. I think for instance that this has been so in discussions of Mach's principle of the origin of inertia, and also of the problem of deducing irreversible macroscopic behavior from reversible microscopic laws. Bridgman has reminded us that the physicists are conducting violent controversy about the meaning of quantum mechanics. This situation is in striking contrast to that prevailing in classical mechanics; for although classical mechanics is known to be false, there is no dispute as to its meaning. It is only in quantum mechanics (which is known to be true!) that there is such a dispute. The basic way in which quantum mechanics differs from classical mechanics is the following: our inferences about the future must be expressed in terms of probabilities. This introduction of probability would enable us to make the calculation. With this state of affairs in mind, let us make a new assumption. Let us suppose that in nature systems are deterministic in the sense that we can calculate the state of a system at time t if we know enough boundary conditions referring to times other than t; but let us differ from classical mechanics by supposing that nature is so constructed that roughly speaking, half the boundary conditions must refer to the past and half to the future of the moment t. In other words, we assume that nature is such that "mixed" boundary conditions are always needed. Presumably a system with such properties would be called deterministic. This is a matter of definition, of course; what is really important is that the behavior of the system is as well defined and intelligible as that of a system obeying classical mechanics. But now we must ask: How would a "mixed" system appear to an observer who himself is part of the system? Now, such an observer, for reasons that cannot be elaborated here but that have to do with the Second Law of Thermodynamics, is acquainted only with the past. Hence if he attempts to calculate the state of a system at a time t in his future, he will find that he cannot do so, for he does not know all the boundary conditions. His knowledge of the past boundary will delimit the possibilities considerably, but it is clear that to the observer the system will appear to contain indeterminate elements.

318

What sort of a theory will such an observer devise? In effect he will be forced to average over all those future boundary conditions that are compatible with his present knowledge. (Of course, at first he will not realize that this is what he is doing.) That is to say, he will be forced to introduce a probability calculus to account for his observations. The suggestion is that this probability calculus is just quantum mechanics. In this way the correctness of quantum mechanics can be reconciled with a deterministic universe. In the language of von Newmann, there are hidden variables; they escape his ban because they refer to the future.

Rodrigues Jr. UNICAMP, Brazil wrote: Dears Jack and Fred, 1) The famous Italian mathematician Professor Luigi Fantappi wrote a series of articles in the 50s where he proposed explicitly influence from the future. One of his students, Professor Giuseppe Arcidiacono ( now deceased, and which I knew personally when I have been a visiting professor at Perugia university) wrote a very interesting book called Fantappi e gli Universi (Il Fuoco edditora, Roma ,1986) where Fantappis ideas are described in detail and where references to Fantappis papers can be found. Fantappis ideas are very similar to your ideas. Maybe it is a good idea for Jack to order and read the book ( you will recall the Italian of your grandfathers ). If you did not succeed in buying the book, I will ask one of my students to scan it for you. Thanks Waldyr, I will cite you on this in my book Destiny Matrix 2010 - we did not know this. Yes, I think I already have Helmut Schmidt & Henry Stapp cited in old version Destiny Matrix 2002 - thanks for reminding me of Raju who I did not know about in 2002. It's a good idea. Perhaps you can write something we can include or do it in a review of the 2nd edition when it comes out - you can put it on Amazon. I am under time pressure to get this 2nd revised edition into the market. I think I cite Costa de Beauregard already along with Stalin's alleged spymaster Yakov Tereletskii whose tachyon book we had at SDSU. 2) Also, I mention here Professor Olivier Costa de Beauregard ( a famous French physicist, now deceased). He has been my guest at UNICAMP in 1974 (!). We discuss a lot about retro causality at that time. In particular, I recall that he wrote a paper called: Einstein-Podolski-Rosen-Paradox non-separability and Feynman nonlocality, Phys. Letters A 60(2), 93-96, 1986 where he claimed that retro causality coming from QM gives to paranormal phenomena a real existence right. For that we need signal nonlocality violating quantum theory as Brian Josephson and I independently suggested and as Antony Valentini formalized in the Bohm interpretation. Henry Stapp already formalized it in the Copenhagen collapse interpretation for which he was figuratively burned at the stake by the same people who have attacked Brian Josephson now for decades like in Les Miserables At that time, when I got interested in the paranormal, I put Beauregard in contact with several extraordinary paranormal people in Brazil and he got very much impressed. 3) Of course, you cannot forget also Helmut Schmidt ( who you meet at So Paulo) and that is talking about retro causal influences since 1969. ( see: http://www.parapsych.org/members/h_schmidt.html) 4) Finally, last month I have meet in Pecs and Budapest the mathematician Professor C. K. Raju ( see his web site

319

at: http://ckraju.net/). He wrote some books and articles arguing for retro causation. His ideas are very similar to Fantappies and yours. I told him about this fact, he said that never read Fantappi or your papers. So, eventually one can conclude that those are ideas coming from a very far from future and arriving free for anyone who pay attention on it Yes, Fred Hoyle suggests that explicitly. This idea has been in my mind since the late 1960s based on my own experiences in high strangeness the 1953 phone calls and the aftermath. Best regards, Waldyr Quotes below are excerpted from: Astrophysics and Relativity Preprint Series No. 70 THE UNIVERSE: PAST AND PRESENT REFLECTIONS FRED HOYLE May 1981 Department of Applied Mathematics and Astronomy "Many will smile if I say that such an incident was triggered by the deciphering of a cosmic signal. It will be agreed that a sudden reordering of substantial blocks of information in the brain must have been involved, but it will be said that the initiating signal happened by chance, from a random firing of neurons. ... The alternate view is that the deaf Beethoven, decisively cut-off from the distractions of the world of men, equipped as a terminal with unusual backing storage, was able to receive a particular component of the cosmic signals, and with sharply increasing clarity as the years passed by. This view would be my choice, but each of us must listen and decide. Perhaps the decision turns on whether we ourselves hear the thunder of Zeus on Mt. Olympus." Hoyle died in 2001 before the meaning of dark energy was understood. dark energy density ~ (area/entropy of our future horizon hologram)-1 "The time was the late 1960s, when Narlikar and I were struggling with the problem of the quantum mechanical signal from the future." Fred Alan Wolf and I were doing the same thing at San Diego State at same time. "Let me begin with the 1964-70 period. It was then that I became a dyed-in-the-wool believer in the time symmetry of basic physics. Of course there are aspects of our experience that are not time symmetric - thermodynamics, the past-to-future propagation of radiation fields, and certain features of particle physics. In my view such asymmetries are cosmological manifestations, however, not basic physics. Here I have space only to discuss the past-to-future propagation of the electromagnetic field. In a famous demonstration, Wheeler and Feynman showed more than thirty years ago that one could have a time-symmetric electrodynamics augmented by a cosmological response from the future that reproduced exactly the same results as the classical Maxwell-Lorentz theory. For some years it was thought that a similar demonstration could not be given in quantum physics, but in the late 1960s Jayant Narlikar and I showed that, just as in the classical case of Wheeler and Feynman, it was possible to have a time-symmetric local quantum theory augmented by a cosmological response from the future that reproduced exactly all the practical results of normal quantum electrodynamics. Although there was no difference at all in its statistical predictions, the time-symmetric theory was interestingly different in its details. Because the cosmological response involved both the wavefunction and its conjugate complex, unlike normal quantum mechanics no pure-amplitude theory could be formulated. This I saw as an advantage. The pure-amplitude aspect of normal quantum mechanics involves a redundancy, because information is discarded in passing to practical results. The time-symmetric theory yields the practical results without redundancy.

320

What I saw in 1970 or there abouts was that von Neumann had been concerned with a finite local system. If cosmology were involved, with a response from the future, the dynamical variables in the system could be infinite, and the situation could then be different. This was the chink of light. Even so, the problem remained acutely puzzling. The future imposes a condition on a local system because a signal goes out from the local system to other material systems in the future, which respond with a return signal on account of the time symmetry. One would like a situation in which the return signal imposed a deterministic reality on the local system, forcing an explicit decision to be made in all situations of an A or not-A kind, as in the example discussed above (mushroom cloud or no-mushroom cloud). The trouble is that so long as one calculates the return signal from within quantum mechanics this does not happen, just as von Neumann claimed it could not happen. One is faced by a chicken-and-egg situation. The initial local system does not have deterministic reality because the systems in its future with which it interacts do not have deterministic reality, and this is because the systems in the further future with which the second systems interact do not have deterministic reality, and so on along an infinite chain of interactions. Yet somewhere the Gordian knot has to be cut - it must be, since our everyday experience tells us that it is! The mathematical loophole lies at the limit-of the infinite chain of interactions. True, we cannot establish deterministic reality by starting within the chain and by attempting to argue in a past-to-future direction towards the limit. But if we were to start with deterministic reality at the limit, arguing backwards from future to past, there would be deterministic reality at every link of the chain. In other words, the trouble may well come from arguing the problem back-to-front instead of front-to-back." Obviously the buck stops at our future dark energy dS event horizon that cuts the Gordian knot. Note Hoyle came to UCSD when I was there in the late 60's before he really had this idea matured - did I.J. Good get it from Hoyle or the other way round. Obviously, they knew each other. "This was the stage of my thinking following the work of the 1964-70 period, before it became apparent, from the arguments given earlier, than an enormous intelligence must be abroad in the Universe. As the Americans say, this instantly creates a new ball game. ...the persistent religious conviction that the pattern of our lives is stored in the future looks as if it could quite well be correct." That's the future hologram right there! "At the mathematical limit discussed above. At the last trumpet! What an extraordinary way to describe the outcome of a sequence of arguments involving the condensation of the wavefunction, the need to avoid von Neumanns mathematical result for finite systems, and time-symmetric electrodynamics. Of course one can argue that the correspondences are fortuitous. Notice, however, that in timesymmetric theory influences are indeed felt in (less than) a moment, in (even less than) the twinkling of an eye, and that all finite events are brought together at the mathematical limit in the future. Fortuitous or not, it is curious that so many people without scientific knowledge have believed in the idea, as if they had caught a glimpse of a difficult message which they could only express in terms of an everyday analogy. Religion is an interesting but not really convincing example of the computer terminal idea.

In the many-universes interpretation, it is the effects of other universes upon ours which accounts for all nonclassical effects. In the Feynman path integral approach, it is alternative paths. In the Sciama/Good/Susskind/Sarfatti scheme, it is the future boundary conditions. In the Wheeler-Feynman-Cramer picture it is also the future (absorber) boundary condition. In the Bohr-Heisenberg picture, quantum departures from classical causality are "inherent" - i.e. there is no "picture". So the point is: The future, the quantum potential, the effect of other worlds, and "inherent quantum behavior" are

all equivalent. They make equivalent predictions. They produce the equivalent quantum effects. They are complimentary tools in the quantum mechanic's tool-crib. While each might prefer one tool or the other under different circumstances anyone can, in principle, build all of quantum physics with any one of the tools. Why do you include Susskind? He has the hologram idea with 't Hooft, but I think they mean the past-particle horizon not the dark energy de Sitter asymptotic future event horizon if they have even bothered to think of when the hologram is? Perhaps I am mistaken. Reference? See below on my new gedankexperiment conceived a few moments ago increasing brain blood flow on machines at the Bay Club. Note - the key issue is signal nonlocality do all the interpretations permit extensions of themselves to include it in more general theories when some of the constraining axioms of orthodox quantum theory are removed? Gedankenexperiment Consider both Aspect experiment across spacelike intervals outside the relevant local light cones as well as the timelike version of Aharonov and Vaidman et-al inside the relevant sets of light cones with pre and post-selection (here we simplify and ignore the intermediate measurement - not doing weak measurements - a composite of two timelike EPR correlations. The quantum correlation of photon polarizations in all of these cases will be essentially sin2(Theta). But what is Theta? Theta = theta(Alice) - theta(Bob) at the events A & B of actual irreversible single photon (ideal case) detections of an individual pair. Practically we will use short entangled laser pulses - some changes in the details). OK, in Aspect experiment A & B are spacelike separated. In an Aharonov type experiment A & B are timelike separated. Ignore gravity curvature. Let Alice be an active sender of a real message like the price of Apple stock at a certain moment. Bob is a passive receiver. Since we are only using passion at a distance with signal locality (sub-quantal thermal equilibrium of the nonlocal hidden variables) Alice and Bob locally see random white noise as pairs of photons are emitted back to back to them. Now let Alice encode the Apple stock price according to a standard protocol in the time series theta(Alice(t)) where t is the time of irreversible detection of a photon by Alice. Similarly, theta(Bob(t')) where t' is the time of irreversible detection of the precise twin of Alice's photon. In general t =/= t' also the flight paths from the source of pairs to the detectors are different and can be adjusted with delay lines to either spacelike or timelike at will. This is a variation on Wheeler's delayed choice experiment. Suppose t (Alice) > t'(Bob) in the invariant timelike sense. Also suppose t(Alice) - t'(Bob) = 1 week! The source emits a pair at t" < t'(Bob). Therefore, on Sept 14 Alice sends a sequence of theta(Alice) that encodes the Apple stock price on Sept 14 - where Bob's twin photons are detected on Sept 7! True, Alice and Bob locally see random white noise on Sept 14 and Sept 7 respectively if they look at their local outputs on their laptops. But now on Sept 15 a computer does the correlation analysis and out comes the Sept 14 Apple stock price. The only rational conclusion is that information was transmitted backward in time from Sept 14 to Sept 7 - but that information could not be decoded until after Alice made her free will choice to encode the Apple stock price showing on her I Phone APP. Weird for sure there is no alternative rational explanation consistent with free will. That's without signal nonlocality. Russell Targ's report of the CIA SRI precognitive remote viewing of the Chinese nuclear bomb test at the 2006 AAAS Retrocausality Workshop at USD that I attended, for example, is signal nonlocality violating orthodox QM. That would correspond to Bob seeing the Apple stock price of Sept 14 on Sept 7 without needing to do a hindsight correlation analysis! My Greatest Blunder? Both the past and future particle horizons are infinite redshift surfaces. What does that mean in terms of retarded photons? We never see a retarded photon emitted from the past particle horizon or behind it because it is infinitely redshifted to zero frequency when it reaches the origin of the past light cone of our detector. For the moment forget Hawking blackbody radiation. The past particle horizon is the future light cone of the Alpha Point of inflation. Next emit a retarded photon into the sky. That photon will infinitely blue shift along the future light cone of the emitter at its intersection with the future event horizon that is the past light cone of our conformal end time Omega Point (infinite metric clock proper time). Therefore, if, in past, I argued that our future horizon was a Wheeler-Feynman total absorber because zero frequency at it for a retarded signal - that is wrong - my greatest blunder. Not sure if I did, but I might have. In fact, our future horizon is the Wheeler-Feynman total absorber because any retarded photon

322

hitting it will form an opaque electron-positron plasma that will absorb it with probability 1 - is the idea here. This is essentially Lenny Susskind's black hole complementarity argument that static LNIFs at horizons need infinite covariant accelerations and consequently infinite Unruh temperature prior to imposing Planck quantum gravity cutoff.

Recall that he pointed out that a photon approaching the event horizon will propagate through the horizon (as its local speed is still c and assuming that in the vicinity of the horizon spacetime is transparent)." I think Nick is mistaken. Kip Thorne has shown that the event horizon is an electrical membrane. We shoot a retarded photon into the sky. When it reaches our future event horizon it is infinitely blue-shifted exciting real electron-positron pairs out of vacuum of the horizon -getting totally absorbed. The horizon itself acts as a static LNIF detector with acceleration computed as follows: The de Sitter "Newtonian" potential is -c^2/\r2 V/c2 = - (area of concentric sphere inside our future horizon)/(area of our future horizon) Newton's force per unit mass is a = -dV/dr = +2c2/\r i.e. in Newtonian terms the repulsive anti-gravity field does work on the photon relative to static LNIF detectors. we are at r = 0 in this observer-dependent dS metric representation In Einsteinian terms gtt = (1 + 2V/c2) = 1 - 2 (area of concentric sphere inside our future horizon)/(area of our future horizon) ---> 0 at our future horizon therefore the static LNIF representation metric is TUnruh ~ a = 2c2/\rgtt-1/2 = 2c2/\r(1 - 2 (area of concentric sphere inside our future horizon)/(area of our future horizon))-1/2 I think this is the physical basis of Kip Thorne's membrane idea. It's also part of Lenny Susskind's black hole complementarity. "And if it interacts with something beyond the horizon (as it must in the TI view as emission only occurs when the future absorption event is fixed), the advanced wave will propagate back through the horizon to the source -- unless the horizon is accelerating. If the multiverse really is infinite so photons can, in principle, propagate infinitely far, then accelerating cosmic expansion is the only way to cut off interactions that produce advanced waves that return to the source from beyond the horizon. If total absorption within the event horizon is the case, then this cutoff issue is not a matter of concern. But if total absorption is NOT the case, then it is."

energy in the '50s (or, for that matter, the '60s, '70s, or '80s), the historical situation in observational and theoretical cosmology made that impossible for even very smart people like Sciama to carry that off. Had Hoyle not had such a commitment to steady state cosmology, he might have done it I guess. By the mid '90s, any cosmologist with a real understanding of action at a distance field theory, and the cutoff issue idenified by Nick Herbert a while back, should have been able to make the prediction."

The de Sitter future event horizon as a hologram total absorber is a kind of ultra-strong Mach's principle it seems to me. Intuitively, there is a competition between the /\ = 0 FRW metric cosmological redshift effect and the /\ > 0 de Sitter cosmological blue shift effect. But de Sitter wins the race in the end. FRW is the Hare, de Sitter is the Tortoise. The energy densities of real quanta keep going down as space expands - not so the virtual zero point quanta! There is NO finite future event horizon in the old /\ = 0 FRW Big Bang cosmological metric tensor field prior to the 1999 discovery of dark energy in the anomalous redshift spectra of Type 1a supernovae. area of future event horizon ~ /\-1 ~ 1/(dark energy density in past light cone) Remember that in Wheeler-Feynman/Hoyle-Narlikar a pure FRW cosmology gives the wrong answer for the Arrow of Time - there is no net retarded causality for /\ = 0, only for dS /\ > 0. We need the dark energy density in order for the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics to work! Sean Carroll does not seem to know this in his book From Eternity to Here. On Jul 26, 2010, at 1:39 PM, james f woodward wrote: Jack, I repeat, a photon emitted, necessarily into the future, gets cosmologically redshifted as it travels along. It does not get blueshifted. That's what I used to think also. But it's wrong. Sure the universe is expanding so the wavelengths stretch that's the standard argument and it works for /\ = 0, but it does not work as our universe approaches the de Sitter (dS) metric gtt ~ 1 - /\r2 asymptotically in the future in static LNIF representation where we are located at r = 0 There is, of course, a competition between the cosmic redshift stretching of the wavelengths for the /\ = 0 contribution, but eventually the /\ > 0 wins. Remember in Newtonian terms the repulsive gravity force (per unit test mass) is g = +2c2/\r (universal anti-gravity repulsion accelerating expansion rate of 3D space) and this does work on the photon increasing its energy relative to the static LNIF detectors (actually does work on any real particle). This is in contrast to a photon leaving a black hole where g = - c2rs/2r2 here r = rs is the event horizon and we are at r goes to infinity

therefore a photon must do work to get out of the gravity well in Newtonian terms. also a photon falling into the gravity well has work done on it by the gravity field and blue shifts Note the duality in the effective Newtonian potentials VdS = -c2/\r2 repulsive field toward inside future cosmological dS event horizon that we are inside of! we at r = 0 therefore work done on retarded test particle falling toward the dark energy dS horizon from the inside. VBH = - c2rs/2r attractive field toward black hole event horizon - we are outside black hole horizon we at r go to infinity. Therefore, work is done on retarded test particle falling toward the black hole event horizon from the outside. The inside/outside topology difference and the r2 vs 1/r difference, and the inversion r = 0 compared to r = infinity for our location and time are a kind of duality here. So, as it approaches the horizon of the source, it cannot excite e-p pairs out of the vacuum to act as an absorber. If the expansion is accelerating, I suppose you might try to argue that the acceleration at the horizon produces a Unruh-Davies thermal bath of photons of sufficient energy to excite the e-p pairs out of the vacuum that would then act as an absorber. But that's a completely different scenario than the one you are pushing here. And to be convincing, it would have to be fleshed out in much greater detail. Besides, if there is an accelerating expansion, you automatically get a cosmic horizon without invoking the vacuum at all. On the contrary, to my intuition it's obvious that the future de Sitter horizon is a static LNIF detector i.e. Kip Thorne's electrical membrane, where any real on shell charged particle or photon that couples to charged particles has so much energy relative to it, that it will excite real pairs out of the virtual vacuum sea and thus in effect be the desired total absorber of last resort restoring the Arrow of Time (2nd Law of Thermodynamics) and the net past to future retarded causality - that is broken only when we have post-quantum signal nonlocality as in living matter - as Fred Hoyle clearly saw back in the 1980s.

Particles in quantum field theory come in two forms: virtual inside the vacuum and real outside the vacuum. Only real particles can directly trigger detectors. However, because of Einsteins equivalence principle that accelerating detectors have inertial g-force locally indistinguishable from Newtons gravity force, virtual particles seen indirectly by the Lamb shift or the Casimir force for a freely falling detector will morph to real particles when that same detector accelerates from a non-gravity force on it. This is called the Unruh effect. The external work from the non-gravity applied force provides the energy for the induced quantum jumps of virtual to real photons.

Fred Hoyle wrote: "Let me begin with the 1964-70 period. It was then that I became a dyed-in-the-wool believer in the time symmetry of basic physics. Of course there are aspects of our experience that are not time symmetric thermodynamics, the past-to-future propagation of radiation fields, and certain features of particle physics. In my view such asymmetries are cosmological manifestations, however, not basic physics. Here I have space only to discuss the past-to-future propagation of the electromagnetic field. In a famous demonstration, Wheeler and Feynman showed more than thirty years ago that one could have a time-symmetric electrodynamics augmented by a cosmological response from the future that reproduced exactly the same results as the classical Maxwell-Lorentz

325

theory. For some years it was thought that a similar demonstration could not be given in quantum physics, but in the late 1960s Jayant Narlikar and I showed that, just as in the classical case of Wheeler and Feynman, it was possible to have a time-symmetric local quantum theory augmented by a cosmological response from the future that reproduced exactly all the practical results of normal quantum electrodynamics. Although there was no difference at all in its statistical predictions, the time-symmetric theory was interestingly different in its details. Because the cosmological response involved both the wavefunction and its conjugate complex, unlike normal quantum mechanics no pure-amplitude theory could be formulated. This I saw as an advantage. The pure-amplitude aspect of normal quantum mechanics involves a redundancy, because information is discarded in passing to practical results. The time-symmetric theory yields the practical results without redundancy. ... What I saw in 1970 or thereabouts was that von Neumann had been concerned with a dynamical variables in the system could be infinite, and the situation could then be different. This was the chink of light. Even so, the problem remained acutely puzzling. The future imposes a condition on a local system because a signal goes out from the local system to other material systems in the future, which respond with a return signal on account of the time symmetry. One would like a situation in which the return signal imposed a deterministic reality on the local system, forcing an explicit decision to be made in all situations of an A or not-A kind, as in the example discussed above (mushroom cloud or no-mushroom cloud). The trouble is that so long as one calculates the return signal from within quantum mechanics this does not happen, just as von Neumann claimed it could not happen. One is faced by a chicken-and-egg situation. The initial local system does not have deterministic reality because the systems in its future with which it interacts do not have deterministic reality, and this is because the systems in the further future with which the second systems interact do not have deterministic reality, and so on along an infinite chain of interactions. Yet somewhere the Gordian knot has to be cut - it must be, since our everyday experience tells us that it is! The mathematical loophole lies at the limit-of the infinite chain of interactions. True, we cannot establish deterministic reality by starting within the chain and by attempting to argue in a past-to-future direction towards the limit. But if we were to start with deterministic reality at the limit, arguing backwards from future to past, there would be deterministic reality at every link of the chain. In other words, the trouble may well come from arguing the problem back-to-front instead of front-to-back."

http://www.fourmilab.ch/fourmilog/archives/2010-10/001261.html Central to his argument are the variety of fine tunings of the physical constants of nature. He lists ten of these in the book's summary, but these are chosen from a longer list. These are quantities, such as the relative masses of the neutron and proton, the ratio of the strength of the electromagnetic and gravitational forces, and the curvature of spacetime immediately after the Big Bang which, if they differed only slightly from their actual values, would have resulted in a universe in which the complexity required to evolve any imaginable form of life would not exist. But, self evidently, we're here, so we have a mystery to explain. There are really only three possibilities: (1)The values of the fine-tuned parameters are those we measure because they can't be anything else. One day we'll discover a master equation which allows us to predict their values from first principles, and we'll discover that any change to that equation produces inconsistent results. The universe is fine tuned because that's the only way it could be. (2) The various parameters were deliberately fine tuned by an intelligent, conscious designer bent on creating a universe in which sufficient complexity could evolve so as to populate it with autonomous, conscious beings. The universe is fine tuned by a creator because that's necessary to achieve the goal of its creation. (3)The parameters are random, and vary from universe to universe among an ensemble in a multiverse encompassing a huge, and possibly infinite number of universes with no causal connection to one another. We necessarily find the parameters of the universe we inhabit to be fine tuned to permit ourselves to exist because if they weren't, we wouldn't be here to make the observations and puzzle over the results. The universe is fine tuned because it's just one of a multitude with different settings, and we can only observe one which happens to be tuned for us. For most of the history of science, it was assumed that possibility (1)inevitability by physical necessitywas what we'd ultimately discover once we'd teased out the fundamental laws at the deepest level of nature. Unfortunately, despite vast investment in physics, both experimental and theoretical, astronomy, and cosmology, which has

matured in the last two decades from wooly speculation to a precision science, we have made essentially zero progress toward this goal.

The effect is noticeably stronger in meditators than in non-meditators. Note that this effect is not necessarily quantum -- it might be due to a classical perturbation on some other aspect of the optical system, or it might be due to a retrocausal effect.

The idea to get results in simple physical systems that are different from the predictions of QP because of interaction with consciousness seems to be a dead-end as Danko writes. Our research has followed the line originally proposed by the Shimony group: to see if a conscious observation of a quantum system has an effect on the experience of a subsequent conscious observer (of the same 'delayed' event). An underlying assumption is that the brain is sensitive for the difference between a non-collapsed and a collapsed state. And of course the assumption that is tested is that conscious observation is the ultimate measurement 'device' (resulting in collapse). I am not sure if by reasoning alone (on the basis of QP) one can easily show for this set-up that there can not be an effect of pre-observation but I assume that Shimony did think about this and the fact that he ran such an experiment suggests to me it is not as simple as that. My position is that data are sacred and theory must follow. We ran 3 experiments of the kind, two of which has been published. We are currently writing a review of all 3 experiments for publication, hopefully in FoP. The verdict will be that over-all the data seem to show a weak differential effect in brain processing of a second

328

observer of a quantum event depending on pre-observation but that the effect size is too small to draw firm conclusions. (no differential effect when observing a classical event). One big problem in all this is that we pretend to run a physics-psychology experiment but actually might be running a parapsychological experiment. That is also a reason to remain very cautious when drawing conclusions.

I hope this helps. Regards, Danko Nikolic Henry P Stapp write: Let me first note that I do not subscribe to the view that every collapse is associated with a conscious experience, but only to the postulate that each increment of human is associated with a collapse of the quantum state. But my objection to your paper is with your Proposition: "The interference pattern should be visible if 'which-path' information has not been registered in consciousness of the observer (e.g., experimenter)." The interference pattern should---according to orthodox QM---be observed only in the sub-ensemble in which interference between the two alternative possible paths of the idler photon is observed. No such interference can be observed in the experiment you have described (Fig. 1). Hence NO interference pattern at Do should be visible in that experiment, if which-path information has not been registerted in consciousness of observer, unless the experiment picks out a subensemble in which interference between the two possible paths of the idler is observed. Because no such condition is imposed in the protocols, no interference will observed at Do. The theory agrees with the observed phenomena. How does this jibe with the Radin result? Normally, the conscious intent of the observer will have no effect on the device, and the normal interference pattern will occur: there will be no interaction with an idler. But in the case of the experienced meditator there will be, according to the QM interpretaion of the Radin result, an interaction, and the brain of the meditator will act as the idler, and will, to the extent that the interaction is effective, cancel the interference pattern at Do.

Entropy is trace of density matrix x log of the density matrix. The trace of any quantum bit object is invariant under a unitary transformation. That unitarity should work at all even between measurements in a closed system is very peculiar if one thinks about it. Throw ice in boiling water seal off the system and the entropy increases even though it's closed. I really don't see why everyone is so hung up on unitarity to begin with. That is works at all is the miracle. In any case, with creative evolution the emergence of new order is paid for by an increase in total Bekenstein-Hawking area-entropy of our future post-selected de Sitter dark energy horizon hologram, which in our observable universe is shown by Tamara Davis's Figs. 1.1 & 5.1.

Of course unitarity U = exp(iH/hbar) works for dead matter and gives the linear Schrodinger eq.

The Undivided Universe with Basil Hiley, p.30 & Ch.14.

I have made a lot of progress post September 11, 2002 after the above was written. I have derived the following results that will be in the sequel to this book Super Cosmos. 1. The zero point vacuum used in the models of Bernie Haisch and Hal Puthoff is the pre-inflation false vacuum in which spacetime cannot come into existence. 2. An internal symmetry is spontaneously broken in the false vacuum to create our spacetime from the released energy coming from the partial cohering of the random zero point fluctuations in the false vacuum. The coherent vacuum order is mostly from a huge number of bound state pairs of virtual electrons and positrons all marching in step to the beat of a different drummer. Hagen Kleinerts world crystal lattice precipitates or freezes out in this quantum vacuum phase transition in which string defects create curvature. 3. The false vacuum of higher energy density is analogous to a normal metal. The lower energy density actual quantum vacuum is analogous to a superconducting metal. Both Einsteins geometrodynamic and cosmological fields come out of this creative process that also lowers entropy of the early universe to create the Arrow of Times apparent flow from past to future. The random noise of broken virtual electron-positron pairs at large scales is normally very small, However, if it is positive we have exotic repulsive antigravity, or quintessence which explains why the expansion rate of the universe is speeding up rather than slowing down. It also explains how allegedly alien ET space ships fly in warp drive without g-forces. 4. If this, now local, cosmological field is negative we have attractive gravitating dark matter that is most of the mass of our universe. Since the cosmological field is probably controllable we do not need to worry about the extinction of life in the far future in a continually accelerating universe. Furthermore, Super Cosmos has many available universes. If M-Theory is on the right track, we may not be forever stuck, like Flatlanders, inside of this one. Note added July 04, 2002: This is brand new fundamental physics on the unified origin of light, gravity, quintessence and consciousness that I think no one has thought of before. I think now I have this paradigm picture of macro-quantum vacuum virual electron-positron super currents as the Dirac substratum of Maxwells classical displacement current that explained the generation of light. My theory I think is now consistent with Lorentz and general covariance as well as gauge invariance. Lepto-quark sources are more fundamental than gauge force - a la WheelerFeynman ~ 1940 (Hoyle-Narlikar later) with advanced destiny + retarded history in a kind of transactional (John Cramer) sense. This ties in with Antony Valentinis non-equilibrum post-quantum signal nonlocality violation of nocloning a photon theorem that upsets the quantum computing-cryptography-teleportation theory. There is no such thing as a classical limit of quantum theory really. Penrose points out problems with Niels Bohrs old correspondence principle idea of the classical limit in The Emperors New Mind. There is only the macroquantum phase coherent holographic limit in the sense of P W Andersons More is different and Generalized Phase Rigidity with emergent qualitative new collective modes from spontaneous broken Goldstone symmetries including consciousness.

Not the first contact, real or simulated? You decide. About a year earlier while kept after school in the Bronx, walking down a deserted staircase, a loud bass voice says Jack, I have chosen you to do something very important.. I looked to see who was talking could find no one. I am not prone to hallucinations or hearing voices that are not there. Not then, not now. Those are the only two such incidents in the past 50 years. I have seen the film A Beautiful Mind about John Nash. I do not suffer those kinds of delusions.

I had been at CIA Los Angeles Office near UCLA in 1963 when I was working at Ford Philco Aeronutronics in Newport Beach, California. This was also around the same time I first met Feynman at Cal Tech where he told me about his work in superfluid helium vortex formation that gave me the idea for my Ph.D. topic on rotational gauge fields in superfluid helium. A former CIA Chief of Station, Harold Chipman confirmed that I was part of a longterm operation in 1985. Chipman said he was running the SRI RV program behind the scenes without Hal Puthoffs knowledge. Chip mentioned Kit Green more than once. See also book Future War by Col. John Alexander who wrote The New Mental Battlefield in Military Review, 1980 and directed Los Alamos Lab for Non Lethal Weapons of Mind Control. Col Alexander was on the board of advisors to Robert Bigelows NIDS in Las Vegas. Bigelow is the new Howard Hughes with vast real estate wealth. Most of the real US UFO data analysis, using high level retired police and US military intelligence officers, was funded by Bigelow via his National Institute of Discovery Sciences (AKA NIDS). Unlike Joe Firmage, Bigelow still has money and power. There is an internet legend that James Jesus Angleton of the CIA was really concerned about flying saucers http://www.nexusmagazine.com/angleton.html. Stephen The Angleton story spread by Robert Collins, a retired USAF officer was debunked in 2009 on the blog Reality Uncovered http://www.realityuncovered.net/blog/2009/07/the-bad-shepherd/ Bigelow essentially, except for UFO website, closed down NIDS in the Spring of 2002 concentrating his waning post 911 hotel resources on Bigelow Aerospace in Las Vega working with NASA to bring ordinary tourists into near space orbit. Bigelows agenda, however, still very much contact with alleged ET aliens possibly coming through Stargates in the brane parallel universe (Jacques Valles Magonia of Michael Murphys Greater Earth) less than a millimeter away from us across a thin Josephson junction hyperspace barrier. NIDS people had allegedly at least one encounter with an alien being on Bigelows Utah ranch that would fit this scenario and is consistent with NIDS ex-physicist Eric Davis MUFON 2001 paper. Davis and Puthoff are still working together on UFO related physics allegedly with a USAF grant as this book goes to press. Indeed, there was a very strange encounter in 2004 in London when a French woman told me and Janes Defence Weekly editor, Nick Cook (author of Hunt for the Zero Point) that Jacques Vallee told her there had been a firefight with ET aliens out of a stargate at the Bigelow Skinwalker Ranch in Utah with human deaths and injuries. I reported this bizarre story to retired CIA officer Christopher Kit Green who is on Bigelows board. Dr. Green said that Vallee denies there is any truth to the story. So matters stood until 2010 when Bigelow in an interview with the New York Times made some odd statements that suggested some fire behind the smoke. His space stations are not his only interest in space. Ive been a researcher and student of U.F.O.s for many, many years, Mr. Bigelow said. Anybody that does research, if people bother to do quality research, come away absolutely convinced. You dont have to have personal encounters. He added: People have been killed.

(Notwithstanding this, curiously British Royalty still practises circumcising their male heirs, based on their Jewish connection). The Sarfatti's who are Jewish, on the other hand, do have this Jewish ancestry on both paternal and maternal sides of the family. The famous Jewish scholar and genealogist, Rabbi Chaim Joseph David Azulai (1724-1807) confirmed the Sarfatti family to be direct descendants of Rashi (1040-1105)who according to Jewish tradition was a descendant of King David. Note that the Sarfatti family coat of arms (which dates from later period Renaissance Italy) depicts a shield with the Lion of Judah, which in Jewish heraldry indicates descent from the House of King David and would further corroberate Davidic ancestry. Interestingly, one of Rashi's forebearers via the Kalonymus / Shem Tov family line was Makhir Todros of Narbonne, a Davidic descendant, so both the Sarfatti family and the British Royal family share him as a common ancestor. Hope this helps clarify.

I have visited Troyes which is the capital of France's Champagne Region. It was in Troyes in the 1100's that the Templar Knights were also founded. The Sarfatti family forefather, Rashi, via his Babylonian Exilarch ancestors who settled in Europe around the year 600, was also acknowledged as a direct descendant of King David. So Jack Sarfatti shares the same good family as Jesus... In the attachment see the Sarfatti family coat of arms, which was granted to the family by the Doge (ruler) of Venice during the Renaissance period. After the expulsion of the Jews from France by Philip the Fair in 1306, the Sarfatti familly settled in Italy & Spain. (Interestingly, Philip expelled the Templars from France as well the following year.) According to Jewish heraldry, the fleur-de-lis on the staff indicates the family origin from France. The Lion of Judah on the shield, indicates descent from the House of King David. Kind regards, Martin Dunn Sydney, Australia

It is a very old idea, at least as old as Aristotle (333 BC) and St Thomas Aquinas (1270 AD) who used the term "final cause" to refer to any cause that lies in the future. Of course. Look who's talking about "silly"! Takes one to know one I guess. At least I am not on "all fours." Kidding aside, there is a serious priority issue here for the history of physics on how the idea of final causation is now creeping back into mainstream physics in a highly technical way (weak measurements, time machines, super oscillations). Hopefully David Kaiser and other serious historians of physics will set the record straight. The notion of a future cause is included in the scope of "teleology"--See "teleology", "Aristotle" and "Aquinas" in Wikipedia. Aharonov came much much later than these fine dudes. If you can prove that Sarfatti came up with the notion of final cause before Aristotle that would be worth putting in the history books. Like I came back from the future in a flying saucer and became Aristotle? Kidding aside once more, I never made any such claim of course. I am quite familiar with the history having minored in philosophy at Cornell with Max Black et-al. Indeed I got an A in Mario Einaudi's course in Aquinas. I would have made a good Jesuit like Jerry Brown. Neither Feynman nor Aharonov have priority in proposing the notion of "final cause." No one is making that claim either of course. Aharonov's priority is in actually proposing an experiment to test whether "final causes" exist in nature. Whether his experiment actually accomplishes this end is a matter of some dispute. It's obvious to me that final cause is the only way to really understand uncontrollable quantum randomness in the present and passion at a distance in the entanglement of space-time separated subsystems. Aharonov et-al are 100% correct on that score. But that's only my opinion and unreasonable physicists who think they are thinking clearly but aren't have the right not to agree with me! Of course, the important issue beyond that is signal nonlocality's strong violation of quantum physics as normally understood. I think that is necessary for life to exist in a nonequilibrium state (at the level of the not-so-hidden variables).

There are more serious critiques of the recent Aharonov paper than the fact that Jack fails to credit the priority of Aristotle for some of his ideas. Not true, Nick, in the July 30, 2010 video of my Lecture to the Illuminati of the Theosophical Society I mention Aristotle's Final Cause many many times. Just Google and get the links on http://stardrive.org/. And of course it will be in Destiny Matrix 2012. Aharonov and Vaidman are certainly more aware of the subtleties of quantum measurement than your average quantum grease monkey. It was they who worked out the details of quantum non-disturbing measurements using the Zeno Effect. However there may be problems with the very concept of a "weak measurement" (not the same as the well-understood Zeno phenomenon) that have not yet been addressed and that might render this kind of measurement a less useful tool than one might hope. I have not read Aharonov's new book so I do not know if he addresses the criticisms raised by Stephen Parrott in his "What does a "weak measurement" actually measure?" a question that neither Aristotle nor Aquinas raised--for obvious reasons (but on the other hand Aharonov completely ignores the question of the Real Presence in the Holy Eucharist.) A precise definition of "weak [quantum] measurements" and "weak value" (of a quantum observable) is offered, and simple finite dimensional examples are given showing that weak values are not unique and therefore probably do not correspond to any physical attribute of the system being "weakly" measured, contrary to impressions given by most of the literature on weak measurements. A possible mathematical error in the seminal paper introducing "weak values" is explicitly identified. A mathematically rigorous argument obtains results similar to, and more general than, the main result of that paper and concludes that even in the infinite-dimensional context of that paper, weak values are not unique. This implies that the "usual" formula for weak values is not universal, but can apply only to specific physical situations. The paper is written in a more pedagogical and informal style than is usual in the research literature in the hope that it might serve as an introduction to weak values. WHAT DO QUANTUM WEAK MEASUREMENTS ACTUALLY MEASURE? Stephen Parrott http://lanl.arxiv.org/abs/0908.0035 Since you are enthused about weak measurements I expect you might be able to produce some cogent commentary on Stephen Parrott's analysis of their limitations. I am not enthused so much about weak measurements. You are painting my fence quite nicely. Like you, signal nonlocality a strong result compared to the faint-hearted lily of weak measurement is what whets my appetite. It is obvious to my intuition that back-from-the-future retro-causal influences do not live or die only on the issue of weak measurements. They are not the crucial test, merely a stepping stone along the way. Weak measurements still obey signal locality. They are puny, stunted like Shakespeare's Richard III.

"In the past, Penrose has investigated cyclic cosmology models because he has noticed another shortcoming of the much more widely accepted inflationary theory: it cannot explain why there was such low entropy at the beginning of the universe. The low entropy state (or high degree of order) was essential for making complex matter

338

possible. The cyclic cosmology idea is that, when a universe expands to its full extent, black holes will evaporate and all the information they contain will somehow vanish, removing entropy from the universe. At this point, a new aeon with a low entropy state will begin." http://www.physorg.com/news/2010-11-scientists-glimpse-universe-big.html On the other hand, there is a natural explanation why there was such low entropy at the beginning of the universe in the future event horizon hologram theory I propose. Of course that still leaves Penrose's: "The CMB is the radiation that exists everywhere in the universe, thought to be left over from when the universe was only 300,000 years old. In the early 1990s, scientists discovered that the CMB temperature has anisotropies, meaning that the temperature fluctuates at the level of about 1 part in 100,000. These fluctuations provide one of the strongest pieces of observational evidence for the Big Bang theory, since the tiny fluctuations are thought to have grown into the large-scale structures we see today. Importantly, these fluctuations are considered to be random due to the period of inflation that is thought to have occurred in the fraction of a second after the Big Bang, which made the radiation nearly uniform. However, Penrose and Gurzadyan have now discovered concentric circles within the CMB in which the temperature variation is much lower than expected, implying that CMB anisotropies are not completely random. The scientists think that these circles stem from the results of collisions between supermassive black holes that released huge, mostly isotropic bursts of energy. The bursts have much more energy than the normal local variations in temperature. The strange part is that the scientists calculated that some of the larger of these nearly isotropic circles must have occurred before the time of the Big Bang. The discovery doesn't suggest that there wasn't a Big Bang - rather, it supports the idea that there could have been many of them. The scientists explain that the CMB circles support the possibility that we live in a cyclic universe, in which the end of one aeon or universe triggers another Big Bang that starts another aeon, and the process repeats indefinitely. The black hole encounters that caused the circles likely occurred within the later stages of the aeon right before ours, according to the scientists." John McDonagh flapped gums 'bout yours recent Tales on Facebook 11/24/10: Do we need Penrose's new idea? Shouldn't you be asking if it is true? "Penrose and Gurzadyan have now discovered concentric circles within the CMB in which the temperature variation is much lower than expected, implying that CMB anisotropies are not completely random." But that doesn't necessarily imply conformal cyclic cosmology. "The scientists think that these circles stem from the results of collisions between supermassive black holes that released huge, mostly isotropic bursts of energy." Penrose isn't sure about what they are seeing. He says "it could well be that these effects are the result of some spurious ingredients that are nothing to do with CCC" Cycles of Time pp 218. "The strange part is that the scientists calculated that some of the larger of these nearly isotropic circles must have occurred before the time of the Big Bang." Penrose makes no such conclusion. Evidence is still being collected and analysed. "The likely presence of significant distortions, due to intervening Weyl curvature, unfortunately complicates the analysis considerably" Cycles of Time pp 219. Again for the record, my theory conflicts with Penroses.

Yakir Aharonov wrote : 4.2 Destiny states: new solution to measurement problem Up until now we have limited ourselves to the possibility of two boundary conditions which obtain their assignment due to selections made before and after a measurement. It is feasible and even suggestive to consider an extension of QM to include both a wavefunction arriving from the past and a second destiny wavefunction coming from the

339

future which are determined by two boundary conditions, rather than a measurement and selection. This proposal could solve the issue of the collapse of the wavefunction in a new and more natural way: every time a measurement takes place and the possible measurement outcomes decohere, then the future boundary condition simply selects one out of many possible outcomes [35, 32]. It also implies a kind of teleology which might prove fruitful in addressing the anthropic and fine tuning issues[77] The possibility of a final boundary condition on the universe could be probed experimentally by searching for quantum miracles on a cosmological scale. While a classical miracle is a rare event that can be explained by a very unusual initial boundary-condition, Quantum Miracles are those events which cannot naturally be explained through any special initial boundary-condition, only through initial-and-final boundary-conditions. By way of example, destiny-post-selection could be used to create the right dark energy or the right negative pressure However, Aharonov et-al here do not invoke the hologram principle nor does he seem to be aware of how Tamara Daviss 2004 Ph.D. from the University of New South Wales provides the connection of our observer-dependent future event horizon boundary condition of the accelerating universe to the dark energy in my formula Dark energy in our past light cone ~ (area of our future horizon)-1 4.1 Reformulation of Dynamics: each moment a new universe This is Tibetan Buddhism! the description of the time evolution given by QM does not appropriately represent multi-time-correlations which are similar to Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen/Bohm entanglement (eq. 1.1) but instead of being between two particles in space, they are correlations for a single particle between two different times. Multitimecorrelations, however, can be represented by using TSQM. As a consequence, the general notion of time in QM is changed from the current conceptual framework which was inherited from CM, i.e.: 1): the universe is viewed as unique, and the objects which inhabit it just change their state in time. In this view, time is empty, it just propagates a state forward; the operators of the theory create the time evolution; to a new conceptual framework in which: 2): each instant corresponds to a new pair of Hilbert spaces, (i.e., each instant is a new degree of freedom; in a sense, a new universe); instead of the operators creating the time evolution as in the previous approach, an entangled state (in time) createsthe propagation: a whole new set of structures within time is able to propagate a quantum state forward in time http://il.arxiv.org/PS_cache/arxiv/pdf/0706/0706.1232v1.pdf

Yes, Wheeler and Feynman showed in the 1940s that the future absorber must send a signal back from the future in order for seemingly past to future retarded causation to work. More precisely, there must be a total future absorber. The dark energy only discovered in 1999 or so is the retro-causal image of that future absorber called our future de Sitter event horizon. Indeed, the dark energy density in our past light cone is the inverse of the area/entropy of our future horizon in our future light cone. The total entropy of our observable universe sandwiched between our past and future horizons, as shown in Tamara Daviss 2004 Ph.D. Fig 1.1 below that I have modified slightly, is the area of our future horizon. That area is one Planck BIT at the Alpha Point of inflation and it quickly saturates to the constant asymptote of ~ 10123 Planck area BITs because the acceleration of space from the antigravitating dark energy density sets up the causal barrier that is our future event horizon hologram computer (e.g.

Fuchs lived with the Peierls. Rudolf Peierls son Ronnie was with me at Cornell. He lived with Hans Bethe and did Gilbert and Sullivan with me in the Savoyards. James Edgar Felten informed me that Ronnie passed away and that there is a theater in his name near Stony Brook SUNY.

Fred Hoyles book, The Intelligent Universe addressed this in the affirmative back in 1984 or so.

There is a serious physics error in the Discover article:

Another example of the trickiness of coordinates, drawn from general relativity, is the black hole. In the canonical Schwarschild coordinates describing a black hole, it looks like terrible things (e.g., singularities) happen at the event horizon [or Schwarschild radius, which represents the 'surface'] of the black hole. But these are a problem with the coordinates. In truth, nothing particularly weird happens as you cross the surface of a black hole (besides gravitational lensing causing the sky to appear bent and warped). This can be seen by writing the exact same spacetime in different coordinates (e.g., Kruskal coordinates), where everything becomes well behaved (except for the singularity itself). No big deal crossing the event horizon (though all hell breaks loose as you approach the singularity). A similar confusion resided in the nature of gravitational waves.

Something weird does happen if you are lowered on a cable, or have rocket engines thrusting to the center of the black hole. There is the quantum Unruh effect, such static observers will see black body radiation of temperature T(r) kBT(r) = (hcrs/r2)(1 - rs/r)-1/2 + hc/rs---> infinity as r ---> rs+ whilst a locally coincident geodesic observer only sees the Hawking black body radiation of temperature hc/rskB. These static observers will also collide with in-falling matter that is infinitely blue shifted at the event horizon.

The comments are particularly amusing and instructive. Since gravity is so weak there are few opportunities to test Einstein's theory (and its competitors) experimentally. The newest test is the lifetime of the Hulse-Taylor binary pulsar which agrees with GR to 0.2% and for which Hulse & Taylor appropriately received the 1993 Nobel Prize. First indirect measurement of Einsteinian gravitational waves. The intensity of such waves depends on how many polarization degrees of freedom one assigns to the graviton. For a speed of light spin-2 graviton the number of degrees is 2. The intensity of G-radiation depends directly on these degrees of freedom so if you double the degrees of freedom you double the intensity and seriously mess up the agreement with experiment. Graviton degrees of freedom is not a small effect. Jack has proposed a clever path to quantum gravity that invokes spin-1 tetrads as the basis out of which the spin-2 graviton is composed and he has not failed to recognize that in quantum mechanics 1 + 1 can add up not only to 2 but to zero and to one also. Therefore on the face of it, Jack's suggestion predicts not only a spin-2 graviton, but a spin-1 and a spin-0 graviton as well--for which I propose the names scalar and vector Sarfattions. The spin 0 and spin 1 gravitons may have rest mass. As you point out the Hulse-Taylor data only shows massless spin 2. Yukawa and all that.
