Supporters and Critics of Dr. Jack Sarfatti[Bill Russell on Wilt Chamberlain when asked why Wilt seemed to have more than his share of

critics among fans and sportscasters: "Well, they are 'wrong' in the sense that they don't appreciate the human factor. It's impossible to perform at 100% every minute of every game, and that's assuming that you stay injury-free and are not victimized by tainted referee foul-calling. But these same fans are 'right' in that he gives them that very impression. He does it to himself by maintaining he's "superman". He's not! …"]

[StealthSkater: I have been a "grudging" supporter for Dr. Sarfatti. He does seem to possess keen insights into complex matters and the courage to postulate them and "damn the torpedoes" consequences of treading on shaky theoretical limbs.

But I do not enjoy his acidic-abrasive "bedside manner" of debating. It causes more harm-than-good and probably explains why he never gets published in major journals. His "art form" of stomping on every exposed nerve in the human body with demeaning verbal "golf spikes" may be personally amusing to him. But then he screams to the heavens when more influential peers ignore him. What did he expect? Like Al McGuire who used to coach Marquette, he would do everything possible to get tagged with a 'technical' and then look incredulously when the referees so obliged. Dr. Sarfatti calls a "spade a spade" as far as he can tell. That, of course, is what we want our experts to do. But there are "politically correct" ways of doing that.

"It's not Physics as I was taught" -- Jack Sarfatti.

I agree with him 100% there! What I continually come across is the reported UFO-type technology involves science which is beyond anything our best minds can even conceive of. Maybe 300-1,000 years ahead of where we are today. Almost "magical" (see remarks by radar engineer Wilbert Smith, Skunk Works' Ben Rich, black project researchers John Andrews and Jim Goodall at (a) doc pdf URL-doc URL-pdf and (b) doc pdf URL-doc URL-pdf ). A wild guess on my part is that it involves mind-over-matter capabilities by genetically-advanced brains and psycho-reactive materials-of-construction (see doc pdf URL-doc URL-pdf ). I could be wrong, of course. But I don't know what else could be beyond the conception of our best minds like Dr. Sarfatti's.]

And the rumored ET-military co-op reverse-engineering programs has been trying to fit whatever of "their's" can be shoe-horned into our existing stuff -- as much of a challenge for 'them' as for us.

But Dr. Sarfatti has the bad habit of dismissing anything his theories cannot envelope. If that's not true, then he certainly has not given that impression to the public. And it seems nobody except him and his "favorites" are allowed to have experienced a paranormal event; everybody else is branded a "crackpot" or worse.

StealthSkater note: the following 2 sets of e-mails were from 2 different physicists, one from academia and the other in the defense industry. Although they are well-versed in all of the headline-making theories, they are hands-on R&D researchers in advanced propulsion technologies. I am keeping their identities in confidence because of the "stigma" the UFO topic causes to a scientist's reputation. This can be seen from an e-mail I received from Prof. Max Tegmark:

I never heard of Lazar until I saw his model kit in a Hills department store a couple of years ago. Not knowing any better, I thought it had something to do with the neutron bomb which had just been introduced about a year earlier. (I hope I’m right on that, my memory is not too good here.) So regardless of what the U.S. Geological Center (or whatever) told you, I know I hear that announced on the news.

There were literally hundreds of unannounced tests over the years. The thing is, they’ve ALL now been announced, retroactively. There weren’t any other tests out there, other than what

I thought maybe they succeeded in producing this stuff in an accelerator and then finding some way to store it. Again, this was before I ever heard of Lazar and Element-115.

Anti-matter is certainly producible but the energy requirements are huge.

I think remote-viewing is a quite valuable tool. I’ve personally seen it work. However there are a number of flakes out there that give it a bad name. Morehouse is one, Brown is another, and there’s also Ed Dames, the head flake. There are some excellent viewers like Joe McMoneagle and Lyn Bucanon. I’d put a fair amount of weight on what they say.

He was so enthusiastic about his career and wanted me to see where he worked. He took all of us to his base (I think it was in Jacksonville) and made me sit in an A-7. He was showing off its smart-bomb capability. While we were there, I asked him about the Bermuda Triangle. It took him all of 15 seconds to say that as far as he was concerned there was nothing to it. He had flown over it numerous times as well as other pilots that he know and nothing out-of-the-ordinary happened.

I have heard this also. I have heard there are standing “orders” (actual or understood, I don’t know), that these things aren’t to be messed with. Just keep an eye on them.

> How your physicist reviewer explained “gravity waves” (as opposed to Lazar’s theories) seemed to coincide with the engineering professor father of the missing Philip Taylor Kramer. I saw him on a "Missing Person" segment of America’s Most Wanted. His father said they were trying to get a mathematical handle around using “unstable gravity waves” to communicate with any point in the universe within a second as opposed to 20 billion years. I still have that on video tape if you want a copy. Does that have to do with quantum “duplication” where a replica of a photo appears somewhere else as its original disappears? Kramer is from your neck of the woods. Was he a quack or is still a mystery with possible implications to national security?

One surprising thing that I found out when I went back for a Master’s in Physics was that someone could have a PhD in Physics and still be a complete nut! I was absolutely amazed to discover that. There’s also the saying that “theories are like assholes … everyone has one.” That seems particularly appropriate here as there are literally dozens-and-dozens of theories on how gravity works, with most being conveniently untestable. But there are always RED FLAGS to look for and judge against. One such flag is the “instant” transfer of information. It is possible to -- at least theoretically -- create “actions” that will occur superluminally, but no one’s been able to find a way to transfer information. It’s a good but not certain bet they never will.

> After reading Darlington's book I was impressed with your conservative views and emailed you concerning some things I had overheard (e.g., my college friend who went on to be a Navy A-7 pilot and said he was ordered not to interfere with any UFOs he saw). I know you found Lazar and Uhouse to be less than 100% credible to-say-the-least. I'm wondering if some of that stuff isn't correct afterall. {note: Bill Uhouse aka "Jarod 2" claimed to have worked on a UFO simulator for over a decade in conjunction with the back-engineering effort.}

Lazar -- I now know for a fact -- was lying about the whole thing. I have talked at length with someone (who for fear of reprisal has to remain nameless) who was in Lazar's circle when this whole thing went down, and they filled me in on the details. All lies, but just enough truth to make it sound plausible. I just don't waste any more time with Lazar.

Uhouse is another story. To this day I don't know just who or what he was. Without going into details, he has a VERY spooky background. What I accidentally found suggests he was involved with some sort of government entity, perhaps the CIA. I doubt his story -- as told -- is legit as he started embracing elements of Lazar's, which I know to be false. It may be that he was feeding out misinformation to keep us Groom Lake types chasing wild geese. I doubt he's

a nut. When he dies, I may put all the stuff I have on him out. It's much more thorough than Lazar's. I'd do it now but he was always friendly to me, and I sort of like the guy.

> In his book, Corso said that the Roswell debris suggested the craft was controlled more by thought than by conventional controls. Preston Nichols and Peter Moon said these psychotronic mind-machine technologies were discovered in the Philadelphia Experiment and developed at Montauk. I've read where time travel doesn't violate any of the laws of physics. It's just highly improbable until exotic matter is found or an enormously large energy source can be developed.

Depends which physicist you read. Hawking doesn't like the idea of time travel at all, and seems to think there's something at work he calls "chronology protection". Who knows for sure?! As for "exotic matter" (aka "negative mass"), its development may not be as far off as is commonly believed. As for Corso, I can't get a handle on him. Some of his stuff is obviously very wrong. Yet he tells a coherent story. He sort of reminds me of Uhouse …

> Did you ever check out the Montauk/Nichols legend?

I looked at it briefly long ago, and decided it was probably wacky stuff. When you've looked at enough of these things, you develop the ability to tell -- just from "feel" -- which has any basis in reality. I'm not sure I can describe what specifically seems wrong about stories like these. It's just that they do. That's not a very solid argument, though …

> Did you ever hear of a fellow named Stan Deyo? He seems a little more down-to-earth and delves into the technology more. But he is on some evangelical crusade and that caused me to back off a little. I don't think the governments in the world are that smart to conceive some super-secret all-controlling government. I remember you telling me you were amazed at how someone can have a Ph.D. and still be an absolute nut. Didn't people regard Tesla as a nut who despite his formal education just happened to be good at electronics? I think he claimed to have communications with Mars and was clairvoyant or something.

Yeah, I looked at Deyo's stuff and he's definitely a nut! His science sucks. Bases in the Antarctica …! You are right about Tesla, some folks thought he was nuts. But he probably was! Most truly creative folks are somewhat crazy. The question is: are they 'right'? In Tesla's case, he was correct about a number of things … but not all. In some instances he wasn't even in the same ballpark. In other cases, he was dead-on. But with Tesla, you have to proceed with caution.

Sarfatti is a bright guy, but he wanders off into many tangents and is frequently wrong. It's sometimes hard to notice with all the appropriate buzzwords he spouts and names he likes to drop. But I like him and find him entertaining. I just look at what he says with some skepticism. I am quite aware of the Modanese work; and while interesting, I wouldn't give it too much weight as there are some fundamental basic-physics sort of problems with it. I'm also aware of Schnurr's work and it's mostly a joke in my opinion. The guy's an amateur experimenter, at best.

I know Puthoff and this "Aviary" business is an amusing joke to him. He's a sharp guy with some government intelligence connections, but people read far more into it that it deserves. Hal hasn't gone over to the other side, but he is looking around for something that works. When I hear he's stopped looking, then I'll start paying attention.

I think the bulk of what Corso has in his book is a lot of BS that conflicts with already fairly well-known facts. True, he was who he said he was. Everything that should be 'obvious' checks out, but there are other items that don't check.

Yes, I'm aware of the current submillimeter tests for extra dimensions. I doubt they will find any. It is also believed that they may reveal themselves in particle accelerators in the future. It's possible, of course, but I would be surprised if they actually do find anything. And -- yes -- I am familiar with UNITEL's tale of the "ship" and discussions with the Eugene Police. As for bubble universes, I doubt that any such thing was observed. However, they are possible in theory. Michio Kaku's book Hyperspace explains such a thing. [StealthSkater note: read an excerpt at doc pdf URL-doc URL-pdf ] They even made a few appearances on the sci-fi television series "Andromeda", the only sci-fi show I know of which references string theory. As for reviewers rejecting things as "easy mistakes", I don't really see a problem with that. If they goofed on easy things, they probably really messed up on the harder things. This is standard procedure for review articles in scientific journals; but since they gave some supportive nuggets, I generally let it go by to see if there was anything of merit.

Hmmm … Robert Bieglow's NIDS -"National Institute for Discovery Science?" (http://www.nidsci.org ) I find that group somewhat suspect myself.

I'll bite the Lazar issue. I've had read his story and am convinced it is fraudulent. He says things like "gravitons are the currently accepted theory of gravitation" [StealthSkater note: really, Lazar actually said of the 2 main theories -- quantum gravitons and electromagnetic waves, most mainstreamers regard 'gravitons' as the leading cause of gravity] . BS! Gravitons have never been accepted or proven … it's just a hunch. I could go on-and-on. He also mentions working at EG&G. That company -- at least in the past -- has been responsible for recording atomic blasts. Isn't it interesting he "reverted" back to photography? Chances are that if he heard a story, it was likely him helping to film that low-yield atomic blast which he claims is how he got his job. He also claims to have a degree in MHD which involves complex differential calculus. Yet he couldn't solve simple differential equations when put to the task. Stating that Element-115 is 'orange' is just wrong. The periodic table shows that 115 should be a whitish-silver color, not orange. (LLNL also put out a paper where a Russian group is hoping to create 115; see the last page of: http://www.llnl.gov/str/JanFeb02/pdfs/01_02.3.pdf).

He also talks like how most people think a physicist sound like. But in truth physicists don't really talk like that at all. It is really clear that he was never a physicist and never had a background in it. And when Dr. Teller said on Lazar's videotape "if you ask me that question again, I will just sit and remain silent" -- now that is how real physicist acts! Even if Lazar did witness alien technology, he still should be familiar with Newtonian mechanics but he is clearly not.

As for Gravity Control Technologies in Hungary (http://www.gctspace.com ), I am aware of that group and recently they've been rejected in competition for the X-Prize. They have not really done anything to show their concept will work but just how they think things should work. As far as I can tell, their design seems to be just getting into orbit. Although I found some background material on a 'David Hudson' -- a farmer who discovered a supercoducting state of matter (ORMEs as you call them) -- it sounds like it (or the related ORMUS stuff) could be legit, but I have no way to collaborate it. [StealthSkater note: see doc pdf URL for more info. Hudson appears to be just a recent newcomer to this.]

It would not be strange of Kaku to look into magnetism as it can be related to gravitation in General Relativity by an effect known as gravitomagnetism, which is responsible for bodies rotating the fabric of spacetime by "frame-dragging". [StealthSkater note: rumors were that Dr. Kaku was doing some advanced experiments in magnetism, and some of us were wondering if this could be an attempt to re-investigate Einstein's 'Unified Field Theory' -- that magnestism and gravity arise from the same force -- which most mainstreamers dismiss. Also see " Einstein's Unified Field Theory with Teleparallelism" at http://www.lrz-muenchen.de/%7Eaunzicker/ae1930.html .]

As for Andrei Sakharov, he had only one over-hyped 5-page paper on "quantum gravitation" (much of his work focused on nuclear theory for obvious reasons) in which he suggested gravitation is simply a collection of quantum forces similar to how atoms can form intermolecular forces. His idea -- while interesting -- moved physics very little and there hasn't been much improvement on his concept.

And as for the Russian claims for stable 114, 116, 118, it would be great if they're true. But the conference papers listed by the Russian Institute don't seem to indicate such a paper, so I'm am not sure if the reporting is correct. In general I keep an open mind toward things which can be scientifically tested or verified. I don't go for the Lazar, mind-control hoopla … it all seems bogus to me.

Regarding what you said Tom had posted, I can't respond to his degrees-of-freedom interpretation as the extra dimension idea has been around for a while in physics. I don't buy the Kaluza-Klein approach as it's made NIL progress for decades [StealthSkater note: I'm assuming he means reproducible experimental confirmation here].

Puthoff, Haisch, and Davis are the only names that you bring up whom I would consider credible sources. As for Sakharov's ideas, there's not really much there. Mostly he did cosmology work. He did suggest a relation to QM and GR in a short paper with only 4 equations. Puthoff and Haisch's papers are actually further along than Sakharov's ideas.

I had a look at some of the items on your site and found a link to my site. It's nice to know it gets looked at. But I didn't find any real science items that I wasn't already aware of relating to interstellar travel. However, I did come across the "DOE contract" for a warp drive-related article ( doc pdf URL-doc URL-pdf ). The Government normally hands out these kinds of grants. If a paper is written on fusion and a grant is given by the DOE, no one is surprised. But throw in FTL travel and conspiracy theorists think the Government is "hiding" technology. This would fall more in the line of NASA handing out grants in order to see if various gravitational fields can affect spacecraft trajectories. Since this document relates to my research, I thought I would comment on it and remove the hype applied to it:

> The purpose of posting this notice of a Department-of-Energy contract was to prove that the government is actively engaged in serious research of areas that might have been regarded as "science-fiction" to the uninformed. Note that mention is made not only of interstellar faster-than-light travel but also of possible time travel. This seems to relate to UNITEL ( doc pdf URL ) and to the new physics regarding a 10-dimensional universe and using these "extra" dimensions to Macroscopically quantum tunnel. ]

Well, this was not Government research; it was done by someone at a university. The article was one of several similar reviewed by the NASA BPP program. Secondly, the article was not written in support of the warp drive; it was written to suggest that FTL travel is not possible through the energy conditions of gravitational fields. In fact, the suggestion of casualty violation - which allows for time travel -- is meant to show a fundamental failure with the theory, not that time travel is actually possible. The suggestion of a quantized gravitational field is completely counterintuitive -- gravity does not quantize. I would speculate that was suggested because it was easier for the author to deal with exotic energy in quantum field theory than in classical General Relativity.

11

It talks of interstellar flight as was proposed by Alcubierre and others, but the paper doesn't support these ideas because the affects are non-physical. As for time travel, this is not surprising and is well known in the literature (e.g. A. Everett. "Warp drive and causality". Physical Review D. 53, 1996) although not in the popular press. If two warp drives collide from different directions in space, the resulting interaction could momentarily affect time. But this only happens in a two-dimensional approximation of the Alcubierre warp drive (it is not known if this can happen in the real four-dimensions of spacetime).

Now the reason this is not surprising is that if two rotating wormholes intersect, they also can form time machines (see Kip S. Thorne. Black Holes & Time Warps. Norton, 1994); and since warp drives and wormholes are topologically related, one would expect this fact. Because of Stephen Hawking's Chronology Protection Conjecture, time travel seems to be an impossibility to many physicists. So in this light a warp drive would be non-physical. The article's intent appears to be to show that FTL travel is inconsistent with known physics. If anything, the article discounts warp drives and time travel -- it doesn't not support them! I also don't see warp drives and time travel as being related to the UNITEL design. They attempt to MQT objects, not distort spacetime.

There are no new physics in 10 dimensions; that would imply that we know there are 10 dimensions. We do not. So far, it's a mathematical "trick". There is no veritable physical evidence for this (imagine it as a modern "aether" concept).

Erhard is a former Scientologist, and brought many of their tenants and methods with him to est. A shortcut to understanding est is to imagine Scientology, except replace "science fiction writer" with "encyclopedia salesman".

In the mid 1970s, Erhard financed Jack Sarfatti and the Physics/Consciousness Research Group - 'The "Aviary"', and was involved with Michael Murphy and the Esalen Institute. According to Sarfatti, Erhard gave funds to the SRI remote viewing project. (Sarfatti, Jack, "In the Thick of It", Jack's Illuminati)

John Mack was formerly on the board of advisors for est. Erhard is thanked in the Acknowledgments page of Mind Reach, the book by Harold Puthoff and Russell Targ describing the remote viewing research done at SRI. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

Stephen Schwartz lies (#15653)by Jack Sarfatti on July 24, 2003 at 8:45 PM

See http://qedcorp.com/Schwartz/http://qedcorp.com/Schwartz/LunaticMind.doc

Memorandum For The Record

Stephen Schwartz is here using "J. Robert Oppenheimer" as his alias.

On Thursday, July 24, 2003, at 04:53 PM, J. Robert Oppenheimer wrote:

"Dennis "Justin" Raimondo has published an attack on the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies in which he cries and whines that one of the contributors to the History News Network, which rejected his Jew-baiting crap, doesn't have a college degree. This is obviously a reference to Mr. Schwartz, and it is just as obviously derived from the propaganda of Jack 'I Love Serbia and the Saudis More Than Life Itself, Because Schwartz is on CNN and I'm on Star Trek' Sarfatti."

What is the URL for this? I have not seen it.

There is no truth at all to describing me as 'I Love Serbia and the Saudis More Than Life Itself, Because Schwartz is on CNN and I'm on Star Trek' Sarfatti.

This is Stephen Schwartz behaving like Jayson Blair putting words into my mouth I never said nor even thought.

I never supported Milosevic, what ISSO did with Vigier and the Serbs in 2000 was done with full prior and post knowledge of the CIA to see if the Serbs had anything immediate that could lead to a WMD. Creon Levit of NASA ran this project. I had nothing directly to do with it either in the planning or the execution in Budapest. In any case it was done in the interest of US National Security and was not at all an act of treason as Schwartz Screw Loose libelously misreports. The libel and slander BTW is on Creon Levit, since a simple fact check would reveal it was his project not mine.

"Dennis Raimondo and Jack Sarfatt (the name under which he published his original physics papers) claim that they never met each other but they conspire via e-mail, just as Dennis conspired with Randall "Ismail" Royer, now a federal prisoner, to publish yet another attack on FDD, which, of course, has become a major target of Sarpatholofatti."

Again for the record, my father's name is Hyman Sarfatti, always has been. My two half-brother's names are Michael and David Sarfatti, always has been. My mother Mildred, against my father's wishes, left the "i" off my birth certificate on Sept 14, 1939 because she thought it sounded "too Italian" and Mussolini's confidante Margherita Sarfatti was a distant cousin of my father. See my book "Destiny Matrix" for details. My father insisted that the "i" be restored in 1975 and he went down and had the birth certificate changed to "Sarfatti" which is his name. Our mailbox at 2047 Nostrand Avenue, Flatbush and the apartment directory for decades had "Hyman Sarfatti" listed until my mother moved out about 23 years ago. This is a good example how Schwartzky, as a pattern, finds sinister meaning in perfectly innocent situations. Schwartzky is simply a vengeful paranoid on the verge of a manic psychotic breakdown. BTW there is an old e-mail from Schwartz pre Sept 11, 2001 saying I should get the Medal of Freedom at the Bush White House for outing Werner Erhard, Michael and Dulce Murphy at Esalen in late 70's and 80's as useful idiots for the KGB. Schwartzky also said Werner's tax lawyer Ephraim Margolin worked for Stalin and that Hillary Clinton worked for Margolin fresh out of Yale.

13

Schwartzky also boasted that he started the negative campaign against Hillary in "The American Spectator." Mar Also in a phone call from Schwartz to me prior to Feb 8, 2003, Schwartz said "Sarfatti has always been out in front fighting the fascists. It's Schwartz and Sarfatti against the fascists." Then all hell broke loose on Feb 8, 2003 because Schwartsky flipped over Michael Savage.

Here's a free education for the "geniuses": a list of some famous college and high school dropouts:

Jack London left University of California after one semesterF Scott Fitzgerald dropped out of Princeton, Dec. 1915William Faulkner, Nobel laureate in literature, dropped out of the University of MississippiAllen Ginsberg and Jack Kerouac both dropped out of Columbia U.Jose Saramago Nobel laureate in literature received a trade school certificate in auto repairEdward Albee (playwright) dropped out of Trinity College, Hartford, after 3 semestersThomas Edison, Bill Gates (Microsoft) dropped out of Harvard, 1976Steve Jobs (Apple, NeXT, Pixar) left Reed College in Portland, Oregon, after 1 semesterSteve Wozniak (with Jobs, founded Apple Computer)Lawrence Ellison (Oracle Computer), Michael Dell (Dell Computer) dropped out of the

Famous high school dropouts include:Ansel AdamsH.H. Bancroft, historian for whom the Bancroft Library is namedIosif Brodsky, Nobel Prize laureate in poetryRobert DeNiroTheodore DreiserIsadora DuncanErnest Hemingway, Peter JenningsBritish prime minister John MajorAl Pacino

Like we say, too much science causes atrophy of the brain.

He forgot to mention:

Stephen Schwartz, with numerous name changes, ("Sarfatt" to "Sarfatti" was a restoration of the original name, not a total fabrication) like "Comrade Sandallo", or "Aby-Normal Silly Man" (pardon my Arabic) the "Sheik of Teheran" or whatever Schwartzky calls himself these days, dropped out of college, wormed his way into the Rumsfeld-Wolfowitz Cabal in the Second Bush Administration and publicly self-destructed embarrassing The White House.

You know they all said Christopher Columbus was crazy because he said the world was round, they all said that Edison was crazy, they all said that Einstein was crazy, they all said that Stephen Schwartz was crazy - and he WAS crazy! They all said that Jack Sarfatti was crazy, but he has the last laugh now. ;-)

"They All Laughed" music by George Gershwin and lyrics by Ira Gershwin

They odds were a hundred to one against me. The world thought the heights were too high to climb. But people from Missouri never incensed me. Oh, I wasn't a bit concerned For from history I had learned How many, many times the worm had turned.

They all laughed at Christopher Columbus When he said the world was round. They all laughed when Edison recorded sound.

They all laughed at Wilbur and his brother When they said that man could fly. They told Marconi wireless was a phoney. It's the same old try.

They laughed at me, wanting you. Said I was reaching for the moon. But oh, you came through. Now they'll have to change their tune.

They all said we never would be happy. Darling, let's take a bow. But ho, ho, ho. Who's got the last laugh now?

Reality Ain't What It Used To BeThirty-five years after Bell's Theorem

by Robert Anton WilsonPublished November 1, 1999 in Whoa!

Bell's Theorem, a mathematical demonstration by physicist John Stewart Bell published in 1964, has become more popular than Tarot cards with New Agers, who think they understand it but generally don't. Meanwhile it remains controversial with physicists, some of whom think they understand it, while others frankly admit they find it as perplexing as a chimpanzee in a Beethoven string quartet.

In my own (hazardous) attempt to translate Bell's math into the verbal forms in which we discuss what physics "means," Bell seems to prove that any two "particles" once in contact will continue to act as if connected no matter how far apart they move in "space" or "time" (or in space-time). You can see why New Agers like this: It sounds like it supports the old magick idea that if you get a hold of a hair from your enemy, anything you do to that hair will affect him.

15

Unfortunately, things aren't that simple.

Most physicists think a long series of experiments, especially those of Dr. Alain Aspect and others in the 1970s -- and again by Aspect in 1982 -- have settled the matter. Particles once in contact certainly seem "connected," or correlated, or at least to be dancing in the same ballet. But not all physicists have agreed. Some, the "AntiBellists," still publish criticisms of alleged defects in the experiments. These arguments are too technical to be summarized here, and only a small minority still cling to them, but this dissent needs to be mentioned since most New Agers don't know about it. You can find more about this here (and for general problems associated with Bell's Theorem click here).

The most daring criticism of Bell comes from Dr. N. David Berman of Columbia, who believes he has refined the possible interpretations of Bell down to two: 1. non-locality ("total rapport") and 2. solipsism. We will explain non-locality below, but Dr. Berman finds it so absurd that he prefers solipsism. ("Is The Moon There When Nobody Looks?" Physics Today, April 1985. Berman says it isn't.)

Among those who accept Bell's Theorem, Dr. David Bohm of the University of London offers three interpretations of what it means: "It may mean that everything in the universe is in a kind of total rapport, so that whatever happens is related to everything else (non-locality); or it may mean that there is some kind of information that can travel faster than the speed of light; or it may mean that our concepts of space and time have to be modified in some way that we don't understand"(London Times, February 20, 1983).

Bohm's first model, "total rapport," also called non-locality, brings us very close -- very, very close -- to Oriental monism: "All is One," as in Vedanta, Buddhism, and Taoism. It also brings us within hailing distance of Jungian synchronicity, an idea that seems "occult" or worse to most scientists -- even if Wolfgang Pauli, a quantum heavyweight and Nobel laureate, once endorsed it. You can see why New Agers like this; it is argued with unction and plausibility in Fritjof Capra's The Tao of Physics. It means particles are correlated because everything is correlated.

The strongest form of this non-local model is called super-determinism and means that everything is one thing, or at least one process. From the Big Bang to the last word of this sentence and beyond, nothing can be other than it is, since everything is part of a correlated whole. Nobody has openly endorsed this view but several (Stapp, Herbert et al.) have accused others, especially Capra, of unknowingly endorsing it.

Bohm's second alternative, information faster-than-light, brings us into realms previously explored only in science fiction. Bell's particles may be correlated because they are parts of an FTL (faster than light) cosmic Internet. If I can send an FTL message to my grandpa, it might change my whole universe to the extent that I wouldn't be here at all (e.g., he might be so shocked that he wouldn't survive to reproduce.) This must either be rejected as impossible, or else lead to the "parallel universe" model. I'm here in this universe, but in the universe next door the message removed me, so I never sent it there.

Dr. John Archibald Wheeler and Dr. Jack Sarfatti have offered even more radical offshoots of this notion. Dr. Wheeler has proposed that every atomic or sub-atomic experiment we perform changes every particle in the universe every-which-way in time, all the way back to the Big Bang. The universe is in constant creation, as in Sufism, but atomic physicists are its creators.

16

Dr. Sarfatti is working on the theory of information-without-transportation and hopes to develop an FTL system which will indeed allow me to send an email (or its equivalent) to Julius Caesar with all the paradoxes that might result, producing multiple parallel universes.

Dr. Bohm's third alternative, modification of our ideas of space and time, could lead us anywhere... including back to the Kantian notion that space and time do not exist, but are only human projections, like persistent optical illusions. (Some think Relativity already demonstrates that.) The particles are correlated because they never moved in space or time, because space and time are just "in our heads."

And there are other alternatives. David Harrison suggests that we may have to abandon Aristotelian logic, i.e., give up classifying things into only the two categories of "true and real" and "untrue and unreal." In between, in Aristotle's excluded middle, we may have the "maybe" proposed by von Neumann in 1933, the probabilistic logics (percentages/gambles) suggested by Korzybski, the four-valued logic of Rapoport (true, false, indeterminate and meaningless) or some system we haven't found yet.

Others would rather give up "objectivity" -- the basic pre-Bell axiom that we can describe an external world apart from our experiments or meddlings. Some say this rejection of objectivity was always meant by the Copenhagen Interpretation (invented by Neils Bohr long before Bell appeared, c. 1926 in fact.) Generally, the Copenhagen view is stated as: We can only describe observer-observed interactions; we can never know anything about any hypothetical "observed" without an observer. Sounds like Zen to some, but others fear this is opening the door to Dr. Berman's solipsism and the moon that is only there when we look at it...

Bell's Theorem "means a whole new ball game," physicist Saul Paul Sirag told the present author once. Unfortunately, as we have seen, nobody feels too sure about the rules of the new game.

All we can say for sure is that "reality" ain't what it used to be.

Comments/Responses

● Bah! The only reasonable explanation, and the only one that anyone with any familiarity with QM (Quantum Mehcanics) would endorse, is the Copenhagen Interpretation. (Well, most physicists work with something close to the Copenhagen Interpretation, if you want to get technical.) Why does it get short shrift, compared to all the FTL (which is forbidden by every QM/GR (General Relativity) model?

Shamim Mohamed [this is bad] August 19, 2002 10:20 PM

● Anyone interested in learning more about the Copenhagen Interpretation with minimal math, read "Quantum Mechanics and Experience," by David Z. Albert. (Anyone who says you can learn anything about QM with *no* math is full of shit. (Only my opinion, of course.)

● "The only reasonable explanation, and the only one that anyone with any familiarity with QM (Quantum Mehcanics) would endorse, is the Copenhagen Interpretation." Really. David Bohm doesn't have any familiarity with QM? Fancy that.

Adam Schneider [this is good] February 17, 2003 8:12 PM

● The piece is engaging and well-written, but Wilson ought to know that Sarfatti is universally reviled in the physics community. Sarfatti is a loud and obnoxious crank and he gets his panties yanked up over his ears (atomic wedgie!) on a regular basis when he posts to sci.physics. Sarfatti isn't a heterodox scientist posting controversial material. Sarfatti is a crank, spewing gibberish, and is probably mentally ill. This had been known to the international physics community for many years before this article was written in 1999.

THE BACK SIDE OF ISLAMConversations with living Sufi Master Stephen Schwartz

Stephen Schwartz (Suleyman Ahmad) is a historian, author, and government consultant at the highest level. He appears often on TV and in print explaining the Bush Administion's actions in the Middle East. Suleyman's Jewish roots, his recent conversion to Islam and his compassion for all beings developed as obituary writer for the San Francisco Chronicle lend Schwartz's words an authenticity few can match. Rumi, Hafiz and Ahmad Ghazali are dead but in every age the Sufi Tradition is reborn in devout receptacles such as Suleyman Ahmad (Stephen Schwartz).

Here is a rare opportunity to experience a Sufi Master IN HIS OWN WORDS unfiltered by press releases and the adulations of fawning disciples. Here is Stephen Schwartz IN ACTION, a glimpse behind the veil that separates spiritual words from spiritual deeds.

Jack Sarfatti is a maverick physicist living in San Francisco's North Beach neighborhood.

Nick Herbert is the author of Quantum Reality: Beyond the New Physics.

Max Weiss is an amateur revisionist historian who lives in the Santa Cruz Mountains.

"Herbalist" is the screen name of a housewife and nursing mother from Philadelphia.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"The aspect of Islam that most impressed me is the emphasis on inner peace afforded by submission to the will of Allah subhana-wa-ta'al. I saw this in the politeness, the courtesy, the simplicity and

18

sincerity (ikhlas) of Bosnian Muslims who had been through the worst torments, yet never gave up their basic serenity.

That serenity has made my life easier. Whenever I feel troubled and tested by daily life, or anxious and fearful about the future, or frustrated in my literary ambitions, my mind goes automatically, now, to remembrance of the Muslim brothers and sisters I know in Bosnia, to the calm and unity of Jumah, and, above all, to the clean and soothing words of Qur'an."

AN OPEN LETTER TO JACK SARFATTI, PHD

Dear Jack--

In your e-mails you have been calling me a Nazi for quite some time and I have been dismissing it as just more of your pathetic schoolyard bully behavior but, following the old adage that you can learn more about yourself from your enemies than from your friends, I decided to take your name-calling seriously and seek professional help.

My friend Max Weiss has studied the history of National Socialism in Germany--not just the cartoon-ish Victor's Version spoon-fed to gullible Americans but the deeper history one acquires by listening as well to the voices of the vanquished. Max knows more about Nazis than any man that I've ever met so I asked him if he thought that I was a Nazi. For your information and amusement here's a transcript of the essential part of our conversation.

Nick: Max, do you think I'm a Nazi?

Max: A shaved head counts for nothing, Nick. The National Socialists had very high standards.

Nick: Wait a minute, Max. I could meet those standards. What are they?

Max: Just off the top of my head I would say that there are six qualities that you must not only possess but possess in great measure. The Nazis were not looking for C-students, Nick. They were looking for men that excelled.

Nick: Six qualities that make a good Nazi?

Max: Six qualities in which you must excel.

Nick: And they are?

Max: First: Intelligence. Second: Race Consciousness. Third: Physical Strength.

Nick: Well, I've been working out at the gym. Does that count?

Max: You are doing as well as can be expected with your weight training, Nick, but you need more cardiovascular work, something that will push up your heartrate.

19

Nick: Back to Nazis, Max. Intelligence, Race Consciousness, Physical Strength. What else?

Max: Fourth is Discipline, Fifth is Bravery and Sixth is Compassion.

Nick: Compassion? The Nazis were compassionate?

Max: In every country the Nazis occupied, they enforced strong rules against the mistreatment of animals. Some of the peoples of Europe were very inhumane in this regard.

Nick: I can see that that would be an interesting discussion, Max

Max: Yes. Some other time, Nick. We are discussing now whether or not you meet the six criteria for Naziness.

Nick: And?

Max: I would give you top marks (provided you start a cardio program soon) on five of the six categories. But on Race Consciousness you flunk the test. I am sorry to say, Nick, that although in many respects you are an excellent human being, in my opinion, you are not fit to be a Nazi.

Nick: Wow! That's a relief. Thanks, Max.

Max: I might also add though, in your defense, that from what little you've shown me of Sarfatti's writings (I cannot judge his physical condition) I would say that he seems to be a C-student in every category except for Race Consciousness in which he undoubtedly merits an "A".

The Esalen-est Connection

"I am 'The God Father' of New Age Physics in California starting with Esalen in the 70's and the Physics Consciousness Research Grope (pun intended) in San Francisco which at various times included Nick Herbert, Saul Paul Sirag, Time Leary, Robert Anton Wilson, Gary Zukav, Fritjof Capra, Fred Alan Wolf, Henry Pierce Stapp, Brian Josephson, Russell Targ, Hal Puthoff, Ralph Abraham, Phillipe Eberhard and many others who had dinner or were our guests at our Palatial quarters at top of Nob Hill 1155 Jones with money provided by Werner Erhard and by Laurence Rockefeller's close friend Jean Lanier who was the widow of the Chairman Of Stone Webster. We also got money from US Air Force Training command via the late spook George Koopman - as well as from CIA sources indirectly via the late Hal Chipman. We were part of the covert psy war op which got high level Soviet officials to Esalen hot tubs where their minds were altered by psychedelics and our boys turned them - hence the fall of the Soviet Empire. Note that Boris Yeltsin came to America with Esalen money before he became President of Russia and that the head of Gorbachev Foundation USA is a former Esalen official."

"As for Feynman, he also took Werner's money and came to Esalen, though not when I was there. I knew Feynman in 60s. We once went driving in my Jaguar (in 1963) flirting with women on Sunset Blvd. He spent a few hours in 1968 with me talking about my thesis problem. He once sent me a funny letter addressed 'To the Great Sarfatti' ..."

- Jack Sarfatti (sarfatti@netcom.com)

"In view of the present-day Esalen-Erhard-Yeltsin-Gorbachev connections, the 1979 Esalen-UFO connection is significant. Even though I had split with Werner Erhard by late 1977, est's Raz Ingrasci phoned me and asked me to meet with Jenny O Conner. Raz said that Jenny had been sent to Werner by Sir John Whitmore who had funded Andrija Puharich's collaborations with Uri Geller back in 1973. Jenny claimed to be channeling messages from "The Nine" - the same extra-terrestrials that Puharich wrote about..... Jenny and The Nine was promptly installed at Esalen, the New Age seminar and training center near Big Sur, California, for quite some time overlapping with visits by physicist the late Heinz Pagels, Congressman Charlie Rose, Ira Einhorn, and high ranking Russians from Georgy Arbatov's Moscow Institute of US and Canada which was influential during Gorbachev's watch. Soviet Officials at Esalen in late 70's and early 80's:

Valentin M. BerezhkovYuri A. ZamoshkinAndrey A. KokoshinHenrikas JushkevitshusVladimir M. KuznetsovVictor M. PogostinVlail P. KaznacheyevJoseph Goldin

"This list is not complete. Vladimir Posner is an important fellow in all this according to Schwartz and Tinkerman. The fact remains, the iron post of observation, that a bunch of stoned California flakes into UFOs and psychic phenomena had wormed their way into the highest levels of the American ruling class and the Soviet Union and today run the Gorbachev Foundation.

"Did these alleged crypto-Nazi KGB agents get high in the hot tubs of Esalen? There certainly were drugs of all kinds in abundance when I was there! Was Jan Brewer telling the truth about the Fourth Reich using Arica to influence the New Age. Brewer was part of the original Esalen group of forty that went to Chile for the first Arica training with Oscar Ichazo1. Arica was big at Esalen at the same time that the Soviets were soaking in the hot tubs....What about Jim Garrison who now runs Gorbachev's Foundation in America? Was he really a conscious KGB agent as Stephen Schwartz believes?"

Robert Anton Wilson can clearly see that Reality Ain't What It Used to Be in this refutation of the "New Agers" appropriation of Bell's Theorum.

"Dr. John Archibald Wheeler and Dr. Jack Sarfatti have offered even more radical offshoots of this notion. Dr. Wheeler has proposed that every atomic or sub-atomic experiment we perform changes every particle in the universe every-which-way in time, all the way back to the Big Bang."

{StealthSkater note: I agree with Jack on this one. Look at history. Mass UFO sightings started around the first atomic bomb blasts. Over time they increase with more testing and decrease with less. I think 'they' reveal themselves not by accident but as a sign of "displeasure". Almost like 'they' know what our governments know should not be revealed

21

to the public for reasons of civil disobedience. I'm of the opinion such revelations would cause upheavals in religious circles. There is something that our testing is doing that is affecting their well-being. It has nothing to do IMHO with radiation effects and the like. Rather, I'm guessing there are metaphysical-related consequences to consciousness and higher-orders of existence, something that we inadvertently uncovered. Why else would such a world-wide ban on even underground testing result?}

VISIONARY PHYSICIST, DR. JACK SARFATTI, APPOINTED TO SCIENCE BOARD OF WORLD UNIVERSITYStart of Press releaseACADEMIE UNIVERSITAIRE LIBRE MONDIALE----------------------------------------------------------------------

WORLD UNIVERSITY

The European Community Parliament is looking for an ideology of cultural unity for the twelve countries separated by languages and many other differences.

A Scientific Board of top quality scholars coming from both the "Exact Sciences" and "Human and Social Sciences" is now being established by Dr. Paul A. Gerome of Geneva, Switzerland. Dr. Jerome received his Ph.D. under Levi-Straus.

He is now in San Francisco speaking to scientists who are potential faculty enroute to Los Angeles, Hawaii and Japan. He will return to San Francisco on Feb 20, 1993.

The first official act will be an International Conference using multimedia and telepresence. The recording of the Conference will be broadcast by satellite. The Scientific Board members will define the new hybrid sciences and give them names.

The second act will be the creation of a detailed script on multi-media CD ROM of the available knowledge on these cross-border disciplines and a computer programme for students. In addition, a document will be produced to define the further researches to be realised under the direction of each hybrid scientist who will be receiving grants.

These grants will be used to create more television programs and interactive computer programs and to broadcast the information on these hybrid sciences worldwide through satellite channels.

More information will be forwarded through E-Mail, Internet and Fax to whomever contacts us and applies.

We are a private non-profit organisation settled in Paris. The operational company is settled in Luxembourg. The video-audio-book publishing company is settled in Geneva. The Headquarters are in London.= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

{Title|DESTINY MATRIX} Part 1by {Author|Jack Sarfatti}

We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars. - Oscar Wilde

The ultimate object of magic in all ages was and is to obtain control of the sources of life.- W. B. Yeats

OPERATION MAJESTIC-12 is a TOP SECRET Research and Development/Intelligence Operation responsible directly and only to the President of the United States. Operations of the project are carried out under the control of Majestic-12 (MAJIC-12) Group

- Howard Blum, Out There,(p.234)

Such life will often be ultra-intelligent, or it might have been supplanted by ultra-intelligent machines or biomachines or disembodied fields of some kind. ... The entities will have perfected telepathy if telepathy is possible at all, and, if telepathic signals can be propagated with infinite speed, the whole society of ultra-intelligent entities can be in continual instantaneous communication and so the individuals can act as cells of a vast brain, or integrated immortal consciousness."

- I. J. Good

Overture"Ah sweet mystery of life, at last I've found you. Now at last I know the meaning of it all!"

24

This book is the libretto of my Quixotic Quest to understand the meaning of existence and all our lives in terms of the astounding breakthroughs in new physics. I present a new theory of history that involves time travel.

I sing true songs1 of my involvement with famous people, sex, drugs, murder, karma, cloak and dagger intrigue, betrayal by friends and lovers. Like the Scarlet Pimpernel, I reveal my real role in the covert PSI WARS intelligence operations in San Francisco and at Esalen in Big Sur that contributed to the destruction of the Soviet Union.

The title "Destiny Matrix" is a play on "Density Matrix". The density matrix in quantum mechanics describes the web of quantum connections that can not only spread across all of space but also all of time from the moment of creation to the future Omega Point2.

The mind is a complex web of quantum connections within quantum connections spanning many levels of organization of matter from quarks to galaxies.

The quantum connection4 is a communication channel that exists above and beyond space-time. The "telepathic" intuitive messages transmitted on the quantum connection do not require direct propagation of energy within space-time. The meaning of this idea will be developed in this book.

After almost a half century of thinking about the meaning of existence I have come to the following hypotheses which can be tested by experiments in physics laboratories. The universe did not come into being randomly by chance. The universe is created by intelligent design. There is a God, but that God evolves from us. That is the deep meaning of the Bible's story of Abraham's Covenant with God.

God travels back in time6 to engineer the Big Bang explosion creating time in an amazingly precise way that ensures that we and God will evolve. Man's role in the universe is vital. We are part of the quantum process that brings the universe into being.

We are about to develop an advanced super-technology of powerful energy sources8, ultra-intelligent artificial life forms and time traveling star ships. This book will explain some of the basic ideas of the coming super-technology

Causes and effects are not like points on a line of time with causes always before effects. Causes and effects lie on circles of time. If you look on a small piece of the circle, causes can be in the future of their effects. When a cause is in the future of its effect we have meaning, purpose and destiny.

Indeed the structure of cause and effect is similar to Ezekial's "wheels within wheels". Imagine a circle. Imagine another circle within that circle. Keep on going. This is a fractal structure.

If I am right, it will be possible to make precognition machines that will be able to receive messages transmitted from the future. Psychic researchers suggest that precognition is an innate property of the human mind. If these machines work, they are right.

If you receive a true message from the future you are caught in the web of the destiny matrix. Feel the kiss of the Spider Goddess. You cannot change the future of that universe. Other parallel universes also exist in which there are copies of yourself. A successful attempt to change the future or the past will split the universe into parallel universes.

Our consciousness is quantum computer software. Our bodies are hardware. The physics of consciousness is the study of the mind-matter interaction. Once we understand that interaction we will

25

be able to move from body to body. The problem is similar to loading a computer program on to a hard disc. You will be able to experience other people's thoughts and feelings as if they were your own. For example, the Rabbi Yeshua known to the world as Jesus Christ's physical body was born from Mary but His Divine Mind came from the Once and Future God through the quantum connection. The quantum connection (i.e., the Holy Ghost) is a communication channel beyond space-time. In this precise technical sense God incarnated into a man.

I suggest that quantum jumps in the evolution of the species and in our civilization10 are caused by the intervention of time travelers from the future who are ensuring their own coming into being. I will argue later that the fact that the Soviet Union collapsed so quickly and that both Boris Yeltsin and Mikail Gorbachev have been under the influence of the Esalen Institute in Big Sur (where I started the Physics Consciousness Seminars11) is evidence for this view.

I am suggesting that precognition is essential to all creative mental processes. Mozart said he simply wrote down music that he heard or saw...He was having vivid precognitions of his future music which literally created itself...Wagner spoke of his music as music from the future. Nietzsche wrote of the "self-rolling wheel". The creative genius13 is able to accurately decode important messages telepathically transmitted on the quantum connection from the future. Poets through the ages sing of Divine Inspiration by the Muse. I am simply suggesting a new physics model for their images.

Before we descend to the gutter, and we will have lots of titillating nasty gossip and seemingly paranoid conspiracy theories later on. Rest ye from from the ridiculous for awhile. Ascend to the Divine. Let me play Virgil to your Dante on a short trip to the stars (ad astra) and beyond to the Mind of God in the land of imaginary time.

Jack Sarfatti:Posts long strange posts on physics, consciousness, and metaphysics, many of which do not make

much sense to practitioners of the above fields. Used to cross-post to hell and back. Can be seen in the sci.* groups and alt.consciousness. A small collection of posts is available. *Not* a "crackpot" in the classic sense; has a Ph.D. in physics and understands the field quite well - but tends to use it to delve into philosophical concepts and outre' theories rather deeper than many other physicists care to read about. Also posts on-and-off to sci.psychology about connectionism and perception, and the neuro-psychological implications thereof.

Contrib. post:Jack Sarfatti is a physicist who posts on sci.physics. He believes in faster-than-light communication

through quantum effects and backwards-in-time communication due to the existence of advanced solutions of wave equations (which exist mathematically, but.... it's a long story). I post to sci.physics a lot as well and used to take him to task for various errors; and finally he got so annoyed at me he wrote letters to me, the chair of my department, and a dean, threatening to sue me for libel. He has done similar things to a number of people [note: Jack says the "similar things" did *not* include specifically writing to anyone else's Dean/chair/superior]. I am not immensely fond of him, so I was amused when Kibo picked up on a recent post of Sarfatti's in which he mentioned the notion of "beables" as an

26

alternative to the usual concept of "observables." Since then "beables" have become a bit of a fad; over on alt.sex there are now some people under the impression that "beabling" is some sort of vile act people do while watching X-rated movies, etc. etc.. One has to read alt.kibology to get the total picture.

Has written to at least one poster's dean and dept. chair, complaining about their sense of humor in posting that the 4 moderators of sci.physics were pretending to be Abian, Plutonium, Hannu and Sarfatti in order to drive folks to sci.physics.research, leading the chair to start asking (in jest) in the halls "Did you know <poster> was a vicious clown?"... Says that the rationale for the letters (as mentioned in the Contrib. Post) was *not* the pointing-out of supposed errors, but instead various libels and untrue anecdotes that appeared concurrently with the "error-corrections". A story *was* going around at least one physics dept. (which is probably at least as false as any of these entries; Jack himself denies it utterly - but you know how urban legends grow) that Jack used to tell people Murray Gell-Mann found his ideas interesting, and that someone finally checked with Gell-Mann - and found the complete quote was "Your ideas are interesting, but [looking at watch] I'm late for an appointment."

Note for the record. As of Oct 12, 1995 I remain skeptical of the authenticity of the Santilli alleged Alien Autopsy film.

Note: Wear claims he never heard of me before his dream in which he saw my name in an alien hanger. He claims he had no previous idea that I was involved in UFO research and had had a contact experience of some sort as a child in which it was said I would link up with others in 20 years. Also note Dennis Schmidt cites me and Brian Josephson as inventors of a star ship drive in his book "The Satori Trilogy" written about 10 years ago. I never met Schmidt and have no idea why he used my name and Brian's in that context.

The dreams all involve some kind of large building, something like one of the VAB monsters that Saturn V's were built in, but much more complicated -- lots of "drawbridges" ? that bridge internal gaps

27

in the building and "telephone poles" ? that run the length -- at least, they look something like creosote wooden posts. There're a lot of metal panels all over (sort of like the crufty ships from Star Wars).

I'm always in the same area -- a large bay, reached by a huge, frighteningly complex elevator -- I get the _impression_ that others are coming and going around me, very infrequently, but I can never seem to turn around fast enough to catch more than a blurred image.

In one corner of the bay is a large viewscreen with a console, looks very outdated. The viewscreen flashes through a number of blueprint-type images, under control of my fingers. The only intelligible writing on any of this is on a long, tubelike structure (much like a TNG nacelle, but no fancy terminators) -- and it's the name "Sarfatti" -- hence the websearch.

With the exception of these, I've never remembered any dreams. Oddly enough, I could probably draw every image I've seen, including something that looks like some kind of dual-particle-accelerator that projects two streams of particles (?) onto a oddly-shaped matrix-like element, from which a near-infinite number of "power-couplings" ? fan out. I'm using generic TNG terminology because I'm not sure what to call these things. I have the Next Generation Technical Manual in my entertainment bookshelf, and what I see looks nothing like the MARA, although that's the closest thing I've seen to this particular item.

I'm a technical writer and EE who, after struggling through engineering school, discovered that I have a facility for languages, concepts and art instead of math (i.e., using wrong side of brain for 25 years). I enjoy flights of fancy, but I've never gone through anything like this. You probably think I'm nuts. I decided to do the websearch, hoping that the name would come up with something useful to control these dreams -- I always wake up incredibly tired after one of these sessions.

Sorry if all this seems outlandish. Hope I'm not boring you -- is any of this of any interest, or should I just quit eating spicy foods late at night?

No, but I'll check it out.

[Sarfatti] What is "Secureware"? Do you know Christine Athena Kekenes?

Secureware is a company that produces secure UNIX systems for use on the Internet, for example, by Internet banks. It's impossible for some universities and businesses to get federal approval to do business/get contracts without some guarantee of data protection, so we provide that protection by modifying the UNIX kernel.

[Sarfatti] Well this is extremely important if you are not pulling my leg. Please go over everything again. Try to draw everything. The details are important. Send drawings to me at POB 26548, San Francisco, CA 94126.

I'll draw and describe what I've seen and mail it to you. I've glanced through your web pages by now, so I suspect you're open to the possibility that this isn't a coincidence. I, myself, am still much more skeptical, but I haven't had vivid dreams like this before, and the fact that your name was included out of the blue decreases the odds of coincidence.

BTW, your guarded, rational attitude and obvious caution makes me a good bit more comfortable about passing on this information. If at any point you think this is just a random coincidence and not a real connection of some kind, please let me know. I don't want to waste a lot of time with something that's not useful (it has always been one of my fondest dreams to create "Star Trek" technology -- for a couple of months, I even felt that God was calling me to do that, but I decided rather sheepishly later that it was just me wishing, although I still have that strong desire).

I've printed a portion of the technical material in your webpages to read and digest much later, after the dreams have stopped (if they do) and I've recorded them. I don't want to bias my dreams/data with what I read there. I hope you don't mind, and if you don't think it's a good idea, I won't read it. I won't share it with anyone else. Thanks for listening and for not rejecting me out-of-hand.

Have you read "Godphone" and "Sarfatti's Illuminati" yet? More later.

Only glanced at them, will read better momentarily. Have mailed some very crude sketches and text impressions just now. I'm a little skeptical because some of it involves generating external fields using a waveguide. There's something called a "gravity suppression potentiometer" that has a "field arrangement" diagram I drew. My impression of the sketch is that the waveguide is generating some kind of field at a distance. I didn't think waveguides could do that (I thought they were supposed to

29

contain the wave), but it's entirely possible that what I'm seeing is an attempt to correlate English with some other language -- meaning that the translation fails. It's also possible that I have a lousy understanding of waveguides.

I'll do some more sketches later -- I seem to get really exhausted by retracing these vivid images, so I have to take long breaks. This seems really strange. Can you shed any light?

PCRG was co-founded by Jack Sarfatti and Michael Murphy at the Esalen Institute in Big Sur, California in 1974. Financed by Werner Erhard, Jean Lanier and the late George Koopman, the PCRG nurtured the creation of books like Space-Time and Beyond, The Tao of Physics, The Dancing Wu Li Masters, Cosmic Trigger, and The Roots of Consciousness. The group included Timothy Leary, prize-winning author Fred Alan Wolf, Nick Herbert, Fritjof Capra, Saul Paul Sirag, Henry Dakin, Robert Anton Wilson, Barbara Honneger, the late Brendan O Regan, George Leonard, Gary Zukav, Ira Einhorn, Lynn Hershmann and many others who came for shorter visits like David Finkelstein, Russell Targ, Brian Josephson, Karl Pribram, Henry Stapp, Phillipe Eberhard, Ralph Abraham, Uri Geller and others.

The group is now reborn on the World Wide Web twenty years later with both new and old faces. The PCRG was the inspiration for the film GhostBusters. PCRG patron, the late George Koopman was a close friend of Dan Ackroyd and gave him the idea for the movie. Jack Sarfatti introduced Jacques Vallee to Francis Ford Coppola and his friends in 1975. Vallee became technical advisor to Speilberg's

Reality CheckOn the InternetMilton Rothman

Some time ago, when I was new to computer networking, I subscribed to Prodigy and spent many bemused hours corresponding with denizens of their physics bulletin board (see Foibles and Falicies from the December 1994 Skeptical Briefs). While many of the correspondents were serious students interested in discussing real science, a large number of them had notions of science derived from watching Star Trek and other science fiction films. Their idea of a good time was inventing theories about traveling faster than light by the use of tachyons. The idea that physics textbooks were more reliable than the more interesting fantasies of the future was a ludicrous thought worthy of nothing but derision.

At that time I thought that these were merely adolescents playing around with their imaginative notions of science. In time, as they went to school and learned real science they would grow out of it. So I thought. However, my hopes were shattered when I graduated to America Online and discovered the Internet. There I found the same fantasies, masked by more sophisticated homepage techniques, created by adults, some with Ph.D.'s.

A very elaborate homepage is called the Internet Science Education Project (ISEP), a California non-profit 501(3c) corporation. (For those who are not familiar with the Internet, a homepage is a page that appears on the screen, created by some interested person, and accessed by a specific address -- one of those lengthy strings starting with "http://". From the homepage you can jump to other pages, from which you can jump to other pages. This is what we do when searching or surfing the web.) On the ISEP homepage we are greeted by a picture of a ravishing beauty who claims to be Lt. Alexandrova from Space Force Academy at the San Francisco Presidio in the year 2196. She is communicating with us by advanced quantum waves from the future. (In physics an advanced wave is a solution of a wave equation that lies in the future light-cone of space-time. At present there is no physical interpretation to this wave.)

Clearly somebody is having fun. The person in charge is Jack Sarfatti, Ph.D., "President of the Corporation." Dr. Sarfatti uses the Science Education Project to publicize his advanced ideas, which he calls post-modern physics. At the bottom of the homepage we find a logo for the Space Force Academy

31

which we click to reach the next level (the next page). Here we find a large number of choices: Muse Magazine, PSI Wars, Quantum Mind & Microtubules, Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen Animation, UFOs: Fact or Fancy?, Quantum Teleportation, to name a few.

Examining some of the pages, and accumulating a large pile of printouts, we are able to distinguish the pattern of post-modern physics. It is an interlocking set of theories centered on the non-locality of quanta -- that is, on the observation that within a single quantum (wave packet) a particle such as an electron or photon can appear to be in two places at the same time. It is also deeply concerned with quantum gravity and its possible uses.

The post-modern enthusiasts claim that recent work in "anomalous cognition," teleportation, and the relation between quantum gravity and consciousness presages a revolution in physics analogous to the quantum-relativity revolution that took place at the end of the nineteenth century. It certainly would if true.

Reading the theories found on these Internet pages we find certain technical terms used repeatedly: quantum gravity, Bohm pilot waves, microtubules, qualia, etc. A typical sentence: "The qualia [i.e., subjective mental experiences] are excitations in the macroscopic coherent quantum Bohm mental `pilot wave' attached to the material vibrations of `Frohlich collective modes' of electric dipoles in the microtubules inside living cells." Or, look at this one: "The Mind of God hangs suspended in the Hilbert raum of Wheeler's superspace guiding the evolution in time of the three-dimensional space geometry of our Universe -- at least in Bohm's pilot wave theory of quantum gravity that, according to Penrose and Nanopoulos, form the substratum of our consciousness."

Here we see a concatenation of perfectly legitimate physical concepts (and physicists) to form a string of words that convey very little meaning to my impoverished brain. Quantum gravity is a theory that combines quantum mechanics (the theory of small objects) with general relativity (the theory of gravity and the curvature of space). Many of the greatest physicists have worked on this, with a variety of results. Pilot waves were proposed by David Bohm to explain certain mysterious phenomena stemming from the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradox. (Bohm was a great quantum theorist in the old days -- I read his quantum mechanics textbook from cover to cover back in 1952.)

An example of an incomprehensible observation that relates to pilot waves is an experiment I did myself in 1976. (It's a rather simple experiment that can be done in any optics laboratory.) In this experiment, a beam of light is passed through a half-silvered mirror inclined at 45° to the beam. Cut down the intensity of the light so that just one photon wavepacket passes through the mirror at one time. Quantum theory tells us that half of each wavepacket is reflected while the other half is transmitted. We know that this happens because if you bring the packets together in an interferometer, you do get interference fringes, showing that both transmitted and reflected waves go around the interferometer. But if you detect the photons with two photodetectors (A and B), you find that if the reflected wave is detected in one location by phototube A, the transmitted wave is not detected at the same time by phototube B, and vice versa. How does one detector (A) know not to trigger when the other (distant) detector (B) does trigger, even though both are being hit by exactly the same wave? This is very hard to explain by classical quantum concepts. To make sense out of this paradox, Bohm proposed that inside each quantum was a "pilot wave" that hid within one of the split wavepackets and determined which detector was going to trigger. For many years physicists believed that pilot wave (hidden variable) theories were untenable, but later came to believe they were not so untenable. As a result, the use of pilot waves is a possible way of explaining the observations associated with the above experiment, just one of the many experiments that have a bearing on the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradox.

32

Quantum gravity theories are legitimate theories; the only problem is that so far no one has figured out how to test any of these theories. But there is always hope. The mischief arises when you take a theory that has no visible consequences and apply it as an explanation of a phenomenon such as consciousness. The post-modern physicists do this by stringing together a bunch of legitimate terms like beads on a string, piling conjecture on top of conjecture. It's great entertainment, but is it science?

My fundamental objection to the use of quantum-gravity pilot waves to explain consciousness is this: the authors of these theories provide no mechanism to explain how the sub-sub-microscopic entities control what happens in the brain. What happens to pilot waves when a person dies? Do they disappear, or are they effective only when interacting with a brain that has a certain type of organization? And what were they doing during all the billions of years before human brains came on the scene? Are we to assume that the pilot waves cause consciousness only when they meet a brain with a certain kind of organization? Perhaps it is the organization that causes consciousness, and quantum-gravity pilot waves are simply a bit of poetry.

On another web page we find the breathless news of a new breakthrough in space propulsion. Listen carefully: " . . . the quantum potential Q found in Bohm's hidden variable version of quantum mechanics is able to transform ordinary protons into virtual `faster-than-light' tachyons. This would permit the construction of a new type of rocket engine that would enable low-cost highly fuel-efficient practical interstellar flight for large manned spacecraft." Using tachyons as the propellant, a large spaceship could be pushed to velocities approaching the speed of light, using a relatively small amount of energy.

My question is: how much energy does it take to generate a stream of tachyons? To provide a reasonable amount of thrust, the tachyon beam must have a certain amount of momentum. The relativistic relation between momentum and energy is surely the same for tachyons as it is for other particles. And the mass-energy of the spaceship approaches infinity as the ship approaches the speed of light. So from where do we get this high-energy efficiency? (Besides, nobody has seen a tachyon yet.)

AFTERTHOUGHT: It occurs to me that Sarfatti's Internet Science Education Project with all its scientific double talk makes perfect sense if we consider it to be parody. It is an education project in the sense that it forces the reader to examine what he knows and decide whether the writing makes sense or not. If the writing is intended to poke fun at the new-age, post-modern physics, it succeeds admirably. If it is really supposed to be serious, well, then . . . . Personally, I hate it when I can't tell whether a writer is serious or not. It goes back to the time fifty years ago when I wrestled with John W. Campbell, editor of Astounding Science Fiction, who presented a new loony idea in each issue of his magazine. I hated to think that such a talented, intelligent person might be a bit less than totally sane.

To save our sanity, true skepticism may be found on the Internet. Set your web searcher to look for "skepticism," and you will find a large number of items, most of which I have not yet looked at. One useful item is an annotated bibliography of books on skepticism, with one-paragraph reviews. It is very expert and knowledgeable. There is also a list of skeptical journals. [Webmaster's note: the SKEPTIC annotated bibliography is now hosted on the CSICOP website.]

CSICOP has its own homepage (http://www.csicop.org ), and past issues of Skeptical Briefs and Skeptical Inquirer can be found therein. Congratulations to CSICOP for joining in the fun. (And now I can e-mail this article to Barry Karr. In about a thousand years I will have saved enough postage to pay for my computer.)

RB: Actually, it is taken from the notes of a former Deputy Director, CIA. Your recognition and acknowledgment of this gravity formula, then, indicates you do not consider it disinformation; but rather that it is an actual formulation [co-?]developed by your colleague, Giovanni Modanese of the Physics Department of the University of Turin.

JS: It's not classified.

RB: I'm prepared to accept your attestation that the formula is not now, nor has ever been, classified. This leads to two more interesting questions.

1) How are you in a position to know whether this formula, or anything else, is or is not classified?

JS: Because it's out there on the web for everyone to see who is interested. It was developed by an Italian. It's public knowledge.

34

RB: And, 2) If the mere formula is not classified, is its adaptation to specific engineering applications [ARVs] classified?

JS: There is not enough in that formula for specific engineering apps. The government scientists are not that smart yet to be able to do anything practical with it. The physics is not yet at that stage IMHO.

RB: Since the government does not acknowledge the antigravity aerospace vehicles which it is flying, somewhere along the stream of gravitational-control information, the science and technology must be classified.

JS: This is your fantasy, I suspect.

RB: Jesse observed, "With regard to Sarfatti, as I can determine it [from the notes], he was on site doing work on the relationship between downed UFO's and back-engineering, to the degree that he assisted in the gravity makeup formulae."

JS: For the record, I would like to see a downed UFO if they exist. I have not seen one. The above formula is relevant. It is from Giovanni Modanese's work.

RB: Then I take it that you are specifically denying the notes of the former Deputy Director of CIA that you:

1) were not only engaged in determining gravitational-control physics based on its extant application in one or more extraterrestrial spacecraft,

2) but also were on-site at a laboratory or other analysis site where one or more such extraterrestrial spacecraft or their field- propulsion component(s) were available?

JS: Yes, that never happened in this universe. I wish it did happen! Maybe it will happen, but it has not happened yet. Let me see faxes of these "notes".

RB: And Jesse added that Sarfatti noted that the captured UFO's field propulsion guidance was focused on the ET pilot.

JS: This is the claim of Colonel Phillip Corso that I cited. It is not my claim. I have no first-hand experience of this.

RB: Just to be absolutely clear, Jesse's report that "Sarfatti noted that the captured UFO's field propulsion guidance was focused on the ET pilot hand" comes from the former Deputy Director CIA's notebooks circa the 1970s, NOT from any statement you may have made since Colonel Philip Corso went public in the last year or so. Are you specifically denying that you had any awareness of field-propulsion guidance's relationship to (ET) pilot's consciousness/control back a couple of decades ago, and provided consultation on this?

JS: Brendan O Regan, who was working for Astronaut Edgar Mitchell on a joint Noetics Institute/SRI project that did have CIA support did suggest ideas of consciousness/gravity control of alien ET craft to me on several occassions during 1973-5 or so. So did ex-Army spook George Koopman, then head of Insgroup in Huntington Beach, later CEO of American Rocket Company in Ventura, CA - again in a very vague way. The point is that no one knew enough physics back then, not even John Archibald Wheeler, to come up with anything specific back then. It just stayed in the back of my mind. Not until Kip Thorne's work on traversable wormholes triggered by Carl Sagan, not till

35

Alcubierre's warp solution with exotic matter, not till Giovanni Modanese's interesting conjectures on superfluid induced metric instabilities, not till Paul Hill's empirical studies in the book Unconventional Flying Objects, did we have anything substantial to go on. But -- NO -- I was never shown any such alien vehicle back then. I have not seen one as yet. It is all hearsay fueled now by Colonel Phil Corso's book, The Day After Roswell. See http://www.hia.com/hia/ufodream.html for an interesting clue on this. Danny Sheehan also has some information on all this. So while I had some awareness of this, as far as I could tell it was science fiction, mere rumor, though some of it was from people with military-intelligence connections. Look, if these ships do exist, it would be easy for the Feds to fess up and show them to me and my people and give us a chance to make them fly right. It's not as though I am unwilling to cooperate here. That's why I think these ships may not really exist. What are they waiting for?

RB: ...movement; hence it [pilot and UFO] became as one. The driver always feels the outer skin's 'road feel', so it [the UFO] can handle better than a Corvette at 125 mph in fifth gear in the big curve." Jesse added, "Then again, Sarfatti has these numbers...he can attest to the numbers and even affirm that it is in use today!

JS: No, this is disinformation. I can't affirm that. I would like to, but I have no direct evidence.

RB: Is your inability to "affirm that" due to any national security or other secrecy or confidentiality oath or contract you have been a party to?

JS: NO! That's hogwash paranoia. I never signed any such oath!

RB: And does said oath/contract permit you to even acknowledge that you are under said oath/contract?

JS: No, it does not exist. Let's be clear about this.

JS: I think this "Jesse" whoever it is, is playing you for a "useful idiot". It's great fiction for the X-files. At least the physics is more or less correct as far as it goes, which is not far enough.

RB: My idiocy or mental acumen will be manifest over time. [Indeed! -B:.B:.] Since other elements of Jesse's report have been confirmed by other reliable sources, and by my own observation, I doubt that his report can be airily dismissed as "X-Files". (By the way, there _is_ a considerable amount of valid UFO and covert agency operations information in _some_ parts of _some_ episodes of the X-Files.) That the complex quantum gravitational physics is correct in the CIA official's notes on which Jesse's report is based should give pause at dismissing other elements. (Jesse is not a physicist.)

JS: You could have easily gotten that quote from stuff I have on the web. I have used that exact quote you gave several times in past few weeks in my public exchanges with Larry Crowell and others. It is also on my website.

RB: Matter of fact, formulae even tell a story of the skin association between flyer and craft. It depends on the vacuum expectation value to go particle ground state, and with this you time travel on a wave. They [ET pilots] think it...and go. Sort of like...point-click and ship! Boom... you're there."

JS: This is interesting. Who is writing this?

RB: "Jesse", an extremely close relative of a former very high CIA official involved with UFO matters.

36

RB: I would observe that, perhaps as a consequence of his exposure to this extraterrestrial mind-matter connection, Dr. Sarfatti co-founded a Physics/Consciousness Research Group, 1974.

JS: I presume this alludes to the events in http://www.hia.com/pcr/parsifal.html

RB: That is a correct assumption.

JS: That is one possible interpretation of those events. There are others all weird. But you cannot take what Jesse says 100%. It is classical disinformation. It's pretty good disinformation because they are using more plausible physics. I wish it were true. But so far it is not. I have not seen a crashed UFO in Area 51 or wherever they may be.

RB: If you do not accept Jesse's information 100%, which parts DO you accept, and which do you reject and why?

JS: I would have to see EVERYTHING Jesse says.

RB: ...Monolith filmed by Apollo 10, as well as ongoing analysis of UFO crash retrievals. Jesse revealed that after the astronaut's return to Earth, "Edgar Mitchell was a part of the briefing of the Joint Chiefs of Staff I group, who at that time told them about the known [gravity-control] formulae. RAND Corporation [CIA think tank] holds the key to the formulae."

JS: This is consistent with my encounter with Brendan O Regan who was working for Mitchell. But you could easily be making this story up from my published writings on these events.

RB: ...Jesse went on to add, "Our Navy even set up the United Earth Space Naval Forces. I believe this group to be in existence today."

JS: The United Earth Space Naval Forces is the term I coined in my public writings. So it is clear that you, or someone feeding you, is simply recycling my own stuff. This is classic disinformation, psyops to create a "useful idiot" by feeding their ego. This is not very sophisticated.

Bredan O Regan was working for Edgar Mitchell at Noetics Institute in 1973 when I fist met him with Mitchell, Puthoff and Targ and others at SRI. The Noetics office was close to SRI at that time. O Regan DID mention the consciousness- gravity connection as the key to UFO propulsion-control _at that time_ and also later in England around the time of the Uri Geller tests at Birkbeck with John Hasted and David Bohm (see Martin Gardner's "Magic and Paraphysics" in Science, Good, and Bogus). But the relevant physics was not available back then 25 years ago. It is interesting that Roger Penrose was at Birkbeck back then and since that time has suggested a fundamental connection between gravity and consciousness embraced by Stuart Hameroff of the University of Arizona. One of Hameroff's associates Dr. Yasue is, curiously, obsessed with the UFO mystery and is also a major theorist in the emerging physical models of the mind-matter connection.

RB: If the "relevant physics was not available back then 25 years ago", are you denying that it was being developed? And that you were part of that development, as mentioned in the CIA notes?

JS: Of course, I am part of the development. However, progress has been slow because the funding has been insufficient.

RB: Jesse says that Dr. Wolf was at the RAND Corporation at one point in his career, and developed an 18-foot-wide torus-shaped antigravity field, using counter-rotating magnets.

37

JS: I am strongly skeptical of this claim.

RB: And what do you base your skepticism on? Have you consulted with Michael Wolf, MD, Ph.D., Sc.D., JD? [Wow -- that's a lot of letters! -B:.B:.] Are you totally familiar with all the classified projects that RAND Corporation has been involved with? Are you claiming that gravity-altering/neutralizing fields do not exist, or cannot be constructed?

JS: I doubt that any human physicist or engineer from this time can make such a device. Yes I am claiming that. If such devices exist, they are not human or if they are human they are not from this time, but from the future. I never met this Wolf.

RB: Thank you for taking the time to consider carefully the information presented in Jesse's report. And thank you for your further elaboration of the involvement of astronaut Edgar Mitchell, renown scientists Brendan O Regan, Hal Puthoff, Russell Targ, other Stanford Research Institute scientists, David Bohm and yourself in tackling the question of the connection between gravity and consciousness around 1973, the same time that the above-cited gravity control formula was developed, that was used by the U.S. military in subsequently designing their own antigravity craft.

JS: The latter is your fantasy. The US Military does not have any antigravity craft at this time. There are no physicists in the military who could design such a craft. Sorry, Boylan, that is wishful thinking on your part. I would like it to be true, but it ain't.

Quantum physician declares on ET technologies

UPDATE! Dr. Mack disputes the claims of Dr. Saffatti.

Dr. Mack disvows that he was member of the Air Force Intelligence. He said he was member of the Air Force when he was young.

Noted Post-quantum physicist Jack Sarfatti has worked in classified programs in the past, and for a long time has denied the truth of my NSA contact Jessie's identifying him as working on antigravity.

Yesterday Dr. Sarfatti made the following bold admissions on his website*, in a breath-taking recantation of his earlier denials. http://stardrive.org/Jack/Synergy.pdf

1. "CIA, DIA, et al. funded work in 'remote-viewing' [has] included transcending time and causality, seeing into the past and the future as well as the distant 'present'."

2. "Flying saucers are real and have a superior technology of propellantless propulsion."

3. "Contact with Higher Advanced Intelligences is real and has been happening in all of recorded history."

4. "Humans have been abducted, mostly against their will, by seemingly non-human creatures in flying saucers."

38

5. The authority for the latter statements is "[t]he research of Harvard psychiatrist, Pulitzer Prize Winner, John Mack, _for USAF Intelligence_."!!!!

Not content with outting himself from the classified, ET tech-related projects closet, and having earlier admitted working in intelligence-funded programs, Dr. Sarfatti also "outs" Dr. John Mack as working/having worked for Air Force Intelligence.

One wonders what additional revelations the Public Acclimation Program holds for us next.

[above last updated 9Dec03 4:10pmPST]

[Note of 19Nov03:] The below write-up was first posted March 19, 1999, shortly after I "connected" with Dr. Sarfatti on the Internet after seeing his email address in a cc from one of my correspondants and remembering his name from the U.C. Berkeley Ph.D. thesis in Parapsychology by Jeffrey Mishlove published as a book in 1975 titled "The Roots of Consciousness."

The below was basically edited from Jack's website, and some articles found on the web about him, and sent to him as an introduction of my understanding of his overall work from those sources. He responded with an unsolicited offer to send me fifty dollars for writing it, as an gesture of his appreciation of my understanding.

For the next two years I mainly "listened" on his Internet list and asked clarification questions, to which he generally responded collegially to me and copying to his list with answers to my questions, as per his usual "Internet Science Education Project" style, which seemed to help all of us better understand what he had in mind.

40

When I later started asking questions relating to the understanding of consciousness per my long years study and spiritual practices, he became very critical and has repeatedly labeled my views as "new age psychobabble" and "pseudoscience" since then.

When I saw the above cartoon in the paper I immediately thought of him and other scientists who quote, but don't apparently agree with, Einstein's criticism of the Heisenburg Uncertainty Principle, ie, that "God does not play dice with The Universe," indicating Einstein's firm belief in the existence of an operating principle or "natural law" by which "all physical systems dynamics operate with 100% certaintly," what Einstein believed to be understandable and describable by the language of math used in science as a "unified field theory to describe all of physical reality with a simple set of equations which apply in all cases in all times and all places with a probability of one".

Those who subscribe to Heisenburg's view instead (that there is no absolute nature of truth itself, only higher and higher probabilities that a given prediction will match what actually happens) will be uncertain if the above cartoon is true or funny.

original article:

Please see http://www.hia.com/pcr as a starting point for information on today's most important story about the future of science and human consciousness in the 21st century. Links there will introduce you to the cutting edge scientific research, taking the fiction out of science fiction, represented by Dr. Jack Sarfatti, physicist and President of the Internet Science Education Project, in collaboration with leading scientists on the verge of implementing real-life "Star Trek" technologies, some of whose implications offer the way to clean up our minds, societies and planet for a future of global peace and prosperity.

Studying credible scientific and technological concepts that will lead to propulsion breakthroughs and paradigm changes in physics needed for practical interstellar travel, IESP research includes the fundamental physics of space-time, motion, forces, and energy exchange; possible coupling between electromagnetism, inertia, gravitation and consciousness; creation or modification of general relativistic spacetime toplogies; Zero Point Energy properties of the quantum vacuum that may prove to be useful for propulsion, energy generation and neutralizing radioactive wastes. (ZPE was just last year publicly acknowledged by the DOE in its Comprehensive National Energy Strategy {CNES} introduced to Congress by President Clinton).

ISEP is applying this new knowledge to understanding the fundamental nature of space-time and beyond, the fundamental physical nature of consciousness, elimination of disease and extension of human life, development of practical interstellar travel, elimination of human related environmental damage, development of non-polluting, inexhaustible energy sources, and the development of practical nanotechnology leading to the evolution of conscious post-quantum computers.

Website excerpts:41

The great synthesis, already intuited by Roger Penrose is the precise connection between consciousness and the gravitational field. The clue is in the anomalous acceleration of our apparently ever-expanding universe, and [Sarfatti's] discovery of how this expansion of 3D space at the cosmological scale generates our conscious experiences at the mesoscopic and nanoscale via the post-quantum back-reaction equation

T(Orch) = 1/HNH = Hubble's constant

N = the entanglement complexity number of the sentient post-quantum computing network

The practical deployment of post-quantum physics into nano-engineering will literally "make Star Trek real" with "practical propellantless propulsion" (http://www.stardrive.org) of our vehicles "Ad Astra" and beyond. "Make it so." [link to this amazing site from above url after review]

[clip]Sarfatti's Cave is the name I'll give to the Caffe Trieste in San Francisco, where Jack Sarfatti, Ph.D.

in physics, writes his poetry, evokes his mystical, miracle-working ancestors, and has conducted a several-decade-long seminar on the nature of reality... to a rapt succession of espresso scholars. He sings Gilbert and Sullivan songs. With ample charm and boyish smiles he issues nonnegotiable demands ... It's Jack Sarfatti against the world, and he is indomitable.

One of his soaring theories is that things which have not happened yet can cause events in the present .... Obviously this has consequences for prediction, the nature of causality, our conceptions of logic. ...

He has published papers in respectable physics journals. His poetry is widely photocopied. His correspondence with the great in several fields is voluminous, recorded on computer disks. Cornell University BA., University of California Ph.D., his credentials are impeccable.

Following is a quotation from a lecture given to a San Francisco State University physics seminar:

CAUSALITY-VIOLATING QUANTUM ACTION AT A DISTANCE?by Dr. Jack Sarfatti

... the universe is created by intelligent design but the Designer lives in our far future and has evolved from us ...

Perhaps 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. 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 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. Breton's surrealism, with its Jungian idea of meaningful coincidence, is closer to the truth. This would then be the final secret of the Illuminati - that charismatic chain of adepts in quixotic quest of their "Impossible Dream" of the Grail. Enough of my subjective vision. Now on to the objective physics....

22Nov03 Open letter to Ted Kennedy on New Energy Sci-Tech

[above last updated 9Dec03 4:18pmPST]

This page offers initial post, ie, the "UMD Physics Overture to Correct the Mind of Science," and will here post the most important relevant responses, details and updates over time, as per below about why the University of Maryland at College Park was set as the fist local event north of Washington DC for the NORTH ROUTE of the American Peace March 2003-2004's Peace Relay Walking tour Nov.15-Jan.15 to the tip of Maine and then from USA-Canada border in Washington State starting January 15, 2004, down to San Francisco's United Nations Plaza, February 29, from where the main 2004 route will start on March 20 walking to Washington DC for closing ceremony at Washington Monument October 24, 2004, utilizing networks and public interest stirred up during Peace Relay Walks promotions 2003-2004.

The coincidence of the below Nov.6 letter from the Chairman of the California Energy Commission (received Nov.12) and the Nov.11 article in the New York Times citing UMD's Dr. Robert Park as usual the physics expert critic cited by the media on so many articles about consciousness related studies and criticizing many forefront new science advances towards new energy technologies to replace nuclear and fossil fuel power, combined with the coincidence that a then physics graduate student was one of the network of folks who conducted the October 24, 1998, March for Peaceful Energy Rally in Washington DC originally planned to feature many of these new energy tech speakers, combined with the timing needed to start the North Route, made the schedule at UMD happen at this place. See details on the March for Peaceful Energy from "Energy" button at http://www.prop1.org and more at http://www.sunspiritgallery.com .

Below is text of CEC letter of Nov.6 and communications towards "correcting the mind of science" by properly studying the new energy tech developments and so-called "paranormal" effects (such as prayer itself) by developing an "experimental protocol" that will "control" (carefully account for and test for) such experiments for the "consciousness factor" which so many physicists are convinced is involved in both of these leading edge areas of modern science.

Dear Mr. Williams,

Governor Gray Davis has asked that I respond to your July 19, 2003, e-mail, regarding the need for the State to explore potential energy sources that are not derived from the limited fossil fuels or nuclear energy.

It was your wish that these concerns be stated during the public comment period at a business meeting of the California Energy Commission. Two of associates of yours, Mr. Alden Bryant and Dr. Brian O'Leary did give a presentation on the need for additional research into "cold fusion", "advanced hydrogen technologies" and "zero point energy". My fellow Commissioners expressed their appreciation to Dr. O'Leary for taking his time to bring to the state's attention the need to look into unconventional areas of energy research that have not been fully investigated or overlooked entirely.

The Energy Commission does have a research and development program, the Energy Innovations Small Grant (EISG) Program that provides up to $75, 000 to small businesses, non-profits, individuals and academic institutions to conduct research that establishes the feasibility of new, innovative energy concepts. I would suggest that you encourage your colleagues to visit the EISG Program's website at http://www.energy.ca.gov/research/innovations/index.html and prepare to enter a proposal in the next EISG solicitation.

Sincerely,signed]

November 16, 2003, Tehachapi, California

Dear Mark, (et al, no bcc's)

45

Thanks for responding and appreciate your offer of collaborate still standing as before. Now there is another very useful focus for your skills in this arena of the so-called "new energy science" which stems from your witness and evaluation of the physical analysis of the Marinov ball-bearing motor that you and Thomas et al got to see when I brought it to your lab during the March for Peaceful Energy event days when we all did our best to bring out viable alternatives to the present energy industry pressures behind wars and environmental problems, etc.

Some months after that I was able to visit Dr. Jack Sarfatti (See "The Story of The Century" http://www.angelfire.com/on/GEAR2000/isep.html) one day at his invitation during a month-long colloqium he was having there with physic luminaries of various stripes including leading Russian torsion field theorists Dr. Proponin who now lives in San Francisco, Dr. Shipov who came to visit from Russia during that time, Dr. Vigier who came from France, and others who I met that day including Creon Levit then of NASA and working with their new energy science and tech exploratory group financed by Joe Firmage including of course Dr. Sarfatti, all of whom also witnessed and were perplexed by the operation of that Marinov Ball Bearing Motor which operated without any magnets just by applying a current through the inner to outer races of a standard ball bearing assembly.

Most of then, especially notably the esteemed theoretician and proud to be "not an experimentalist" Dr. Sarfatti were totally silent and offered no "speculations" whatsoever regarding how this device could possibly be actually working as they were seeing in front of their eyes. Creon offered his "off the top of his head" drawing on an easel pad about how it could be due to thermal effects etc, and the other luminaries sort of just let it go and scratched their heads and then later I was graciously invited by Dr. Sarfatti to their dinner where I sat across the table from Dr. Shipov and asked him questions about torsion field theory and its well established math etc behind much more seriously taken work among physicists in Russia about "paranormal phenomena" very carefully documented there over decades starting before the 1960's before such research came out at a public level in the US astonishing many with the book by Ostrander and Schroeder called "Psychic Discoveries behind the Iron Curtain" with many photos of telekenesis experiments and quoting some Russian scientists to effect they were paying very serious attention to this investigation. I also was able to ask Dr. Shipov if torsion field theory could account for the gravitational rate of fall changes DePalma discovered and demonstrated to Dr. John Archibald Wheeler circa 1970, and the "variable inertia effect" of the precessing counter-rotating gyro "force machine" of DePalma experiments and others which I discussed with you in your lab that day and gave you some papers, the photo of the spinning vs non-spinning ball bearing trajectories showing this variation in gravitational behavior that was published on the front page of a Princeton newspaper forcing Dr. Wheeler to reluctantly see DePalma and the experiment in person.

None of these luminaries had the confidence that you had about your evaluation of the ball bearing motor which you took some time to well prepare and send for evaluation which then was not of interest to the others apparently because of factors generically labeled by Sharon Begley, in her Sept.5 Wall Street Journal article about the "realities of cold fusion", as "pathological science", ie, because they from their own "theoretical viewpoints" simply "couldn't grok" the ball bearing motor operational dynamics, they were not about to take too seriously the well reasoned and explained with graphics analysis of yours which they prejudicially saw as coming from someone "their junior" as "only a physics grad student". After all, as in the case of Dr. Wheeler witnessing Mr. DePalma's experiment "what would people think" if a "non-PhD" had an understanding of something that they themselves were perplexed about with all their "superior education" and "theories" etc. This is one dimension of what is going on in this arena of new energy science and the "pathology of academia" behind this so-called "pathological science".

Now, Dr. Robert Park of your University's physics department is widely quoted at all levels by the public press as the leading critic of just about everything outside his "theories" of "established science"

46

including denigrating as "pseudoscience" not only all such new energy tech experiments and theories as "crackpot" and "pseudo-science", but also everything that has to do with this now well established "fringe" area of science of the "paranormal" phenomena, and even to the extent that similarly he apparently applies the same rigorous criticisms to the "power of the human mind" as it is applied through prayer itself since time immemorial by peoples of all faiths in all parts of the world.

If you ask Dr. Park and he refutes this as an extrapolation of his views and says that he can explain clearly scientifically how it is that the dynamics of the human mind empower the obviously well documented "power of prayer", then I will know that I am mistaken about that last part above. But otherwise, if my view above is an accurate interpolation of his views in this area, then his views in the other areas are also suspect as not valid, or at least not adequate and therefore his leading influence as a "professional debunker" of this new science should be tempered in the public mind in light of this inadequacy due to the "uncertain nature" of science as it has been influenced by belief in the doctrines of uncertainty such as Heisenberg's.

I am going to take you up on your offer and arrange financing for you to visit and test various new energy devices now at hand.

My commitment to the various scientists involved has been to conduct such tests in a manner using "experimental controls" that will properly "control" the experiment for what many of us see as the "hidden variable" of this so-called "consciousness factor" apparently at work in the yet to be understood physical dynamics of "the human mind" responsible for these "paranormal effects" such as the power of prayer, the "remote viewing" (ESP) subject of much CIA and hard science interest in recent decades as per experiments by Dr. Harold Puthoff at Stanford Resarch Institute, and the work done with extensive brain monitoring instrumentation at the Robert Monroe Institute nearby DC close to Faber, Virginia where one of my brothers live and has studied extensively as did the CIA's leading "remote viewer" McMonagle.

To the purpose of establishing an effective "working protocol" for the measurements you will make as the "experimentor" in testing the various devices of the inventors I will set up for you and arrange funding for your trips etc., such "experimental protocol controlling for the hidden variable of the human mind's consciousness factor" we need first now to get some vocabulary precision established.

Let us accept for the time being this term of Wall Street Journal Science Columnist Sharon Begley's "invention" as the label for "the breakdown in the normally open channels of communications in science" that she terms "pathological science". To understand and perhaps find the remedy for this pathology as also above exemplified in my simplistic analysis of the "ball bearing motor" as an example of this "breakdown in communications" obviously related to "how or what the observer believes something to be true" (a part of "prejudice" or pre-judging), let us honestly look at the situation at hand at the moment regarding this matter of this particular one of many electrodynamics anomalies discovered by Marinov.

First -- You saw this "Marinov Motor" in operation before you had heard anything about it, correct? You therefore had no prejudice about it and had no knowledge of what was even expected when I showed it to you and said let's hook it up, right? Or did I communicate with you by email or in person before the test about what it purported to do? (it's been five years) These questions are to address what we might call the "Expectation Effect" as part of the protocol for "experimental control of the consciousness factor".

Second -- Had you not seen this motor in action first, and had someone tried to tell you that such a device would operate as a motor with no magnets involved, spinning in either direction, with very low

47

torque and very high rotational velocity, can you honestly say that you would have believed that such a device would function as a motor and would have come to the same conclusions that you did in your later analysis of its physics AFTER seeing it and being compelled to "come to grips" with the reality of it? Sarfatti et al saw it and basically wrote it off because they couldn't understand it in terms of their knowledge. Same with Dr. Wheeler who wrote off DePalma's dropping ball experiment for same reasons after first saying to DePalma, "this is going to change everything (in physics), isn't it?" But you have some kind of clarity of mind that allowed you to focus on this "phenomena" of the magnetless Marinov Ball Bearing Motor, which according to the maker of that particular model who is an electrical engineer at UC Santa Barbara "nobody has been able to explain, ever" including Marinov. Never mind for the moment that Chris Carsen did not agree either with your analysis of it, the point is that you rendered a very thorough evaluation in light of the established theories of physics that your education and mind offered, ie, you did not "run away" from that one by claiming "it's impossible". But the question here for your honest consideration is, would you in advance of seeing it work have "believed" that it would work, let alone could you have come up with the analysis of its dynamics that you did BEFORE seeing it work to compel your mind to focus on "figuring it out"? Let this question introduce what we can term for our "experimental protocol development" as that aspect of the "pathological science syndrome" or the "consciousness factor" as the "Believability Effect".

Third -- Did you discuss the Marinov motor with Dr. Park? Did you show him your evaluation and if so what did he think of it? Is he aware of this ball bearing motor, ie, does he "believe" it works if he has not seen it work? If by observation personally or reliance on other's qualified testimony of its actually working as we know it does, Dr. Park does "believe it works" and is not another fraudulent claim by pseudoscience practitioners, and if Dr. Park does not agree with your evaluation/analysis of "how it works", does Dr. Park have a detailed explanation of this particular "Marinov effect" in terms of the "advanced level physics" of which he is considered by the press such a worldwide expert that his opinions carry more weight than those of others who have "seen with their own eyes"? Bottom line is, Dr. Park is at present either aware or unaware of the claims of validity of this Marinov effect. He is either aware or unaware of your witnessing of this device and testimony of "it working as claimed". He is either aware or unaware of your physical dynamics analysis of its operation. These questions relate to another aspect of this "consciousness factor" hypothesized as a "hidden variable" in the physical dynamics of real systems including electrodynamics, gravitodynamics, and intertiodynamics. Let us call this aspect of this purported "consciousness factor" the "Awareness Effect". You may conduct a control run here by posing the above questions to Dr. Park if you have not already, and if so your answers to the above questions will help define the parameters of this now offered term definition of the "Awareness Effect" of the "consciousness factor" now covered in three of its definable aspects.

Let's start with this much for now, and see where the answers to the above questions lead towards refining a precise vocabulary that can be utilized in formulating a rigorous experimental protocol for controlling experiments (ie, observations) for the consciousness factor, then we can proceed to next step of discussing which of the half dozen or so candidates I have in mind for your first tests of these now working demonstrated "overunity energy generators."

Also, for background so others understand your mind, if you will, please resend your Marinov Motor Analysis to recipients of this email so that your understanding of it may be grasped by them in light of the below meager reference to your work in physics there at University of Maryland College Park.

Thanks again for this opportunity to collaborate with you on this.

Making Star Trek Real added 30 May 2000

Plato. Newton. Einstein. Sarfatti. The names resonate with the cosmos, each adding to the knowledge of the ones who have gone before. Newton said that he could see further by standing on the shoulders of giants, but he could not foresee the total reinvention and rediscovery of physical laws that Jack Sarfatti would reveal to us. For Jack to stand on a giant's shoulders would be redundant, because Jack is the giant himself. The giant of giants, to be precise. Don't let the title of this site fool you into thinking it is just another Trekkie mind meander. This is the real thing. Compared to Jack Sarfatti, Stephen Hawking might as well be a man in a wheelchair.

In one of his essays, Jack says: "Inspired by Richard Wagner’s opera, Tanheuser, on the radio, having just seen Travolta and Sedgwick in Phenomenon, I realized that the post-quantum local decoding of nonlocal form-dependent intensity-independent future forces of destiny is the fundamental act of creative imaginings of a richer and more perfect reality."

I rest my case.

In that case there is no decay. The induced current in the second circuit will persist indefinitely, or at least persist until the battery is switched off, whereupon the decreasing current in the second circuit follows the decrease in the current of the first.

Here's a similar situation, but with motional induction via a permanent magnet. Suppose you have a small conductive ring widely separated from a PM bar magnet. Rapidly move one end of the bar magnet towards the ring, so that one end of the bar magnet ends up slightly pushed into the "donut hole" of the ring. A circulating current will be induced in the ring by the approach of the bar magnet. If the ring is resistive metal, then this current will decay with a time constant proportional to the resistance and inductance of the ring. However, if the ring has zero resistance, then the current will not decay, but instead will persist forever.

Also, any EM forces between the magnet and the perfectly conducting ring will persist forever. An example from the real world is a superconductor disk with a small PM hovering above it. The persistent current which was induced by the approach of the PM produces a repulsion force which levitates the Permanent Magnet. If the superconductor was imperfect, and had a very tiny resistance, then the circulating current would decay very slowly, as would the repulsion force, and the small permanent magnet would slowly settle towards the superconductor.

Jack Sarfatti's Physics-Consciousness Research Group

Sarfatti is a controversial physicist ("I'm in the meme business") whose theories on retro-causality have influenced the cultural meme pool via films like Terminator 2: Judgement Day (1991), 12 Monkeys (1995), and the Back To The Future trilogy (1985-1990). Apart from a wealth of material on quantum physics and paranormal research, the value in this site for the memetic engineer is in descriptions of his VALIS-like (Vast Active Living Intelligence System) experiences, and the Destiny Matrix missives that describe his contact and dialogue with New Age cultural luminaries, intelligence agents, and leading corporate/industrial figures.

Weird Scienceby Alex Burns (alex@disinfo.com) - January 28, 2001

Author's note: This interview was originally published in 21.C magazine (4/1996, The Unafesto): 54-59. It was my entre to a covert and mysterious world.

51

Dr. Jack Sarfatti is one of the leaders of the New Physics movement. However, his research into E.S.P., time, future causality and his VALIS-type experience has provoked dissent in the mainstream physics community.

The Bohemian physicist ... contributes a balanced scientific non-establishment for this expanding society. I don't mean to disparage the work, either ... Originality has always required a fertile expanse of fumble and mistake ... Your wastrel life might turn out to be just what's required to save the planet.

~ ~Herbert Gold, Bohemia: Where Art, Angst, Love and Strong Coffee Meet

Black holes, Alcubierre warp drives, traversable worm holes, and the quest for the Holy Grail of dark matter are outpacing the wildest SF fantasies in the public's imagination. In the science fraternity, this 'quantum weirdness' is creating new paradigms with which to view reality. The most controversial physicist in this field is Dr Jack Sarfatti, whose investigation of such phenomena as superluminal (faster than light) information and anomalous experiences challenges the very underpinnings of modern quantum physics.

Sarfatti's exotic theories are rarely discussed within the mainstream physics community. Like Harvard Medical School department of psychiatry's John Mack, who controversially researched UFO abductions, Timothy Leary's early 1960s metaprogramming experiments, or Lyall Watson's unorthodox explorations of Supernature (New York: Anchor Press, 1973), Sarfatti's exploration of the questions polite academics avoid has tainted his reputation. A typical off-hand response came from N. David Mermin of the Cornell physics department who studied Sarfatti's papers and corresponded with him during the 1980s: "Jack Sarfatti? What a weird, strange subject to be writing about!"

Master of the Vortex

Yet Sarfatti's theories of future causality - the future impacting on the present - are influencing the contemporary cultural meme pool. From "Terminator 2: Judgment Day" (1991) to "Twelve Monkeys" (1995), Sarfatti's ideas have been the subject of major sci-fi scenarios. Sarfatti himself was parodied as the memorable time-travelling Dr Emmett Brown in the "Back to the Future" trilogy.

According to Creon Levit of the NASA Ames Research Center, who studied and worked with Sarfatti, "Jack is a maverick, because he is examining what is perhaps the most cherished assumption of modern science - that all causes must precede their effects. People, including scientists, do not, unless they are very brave, like to question their cherished assumptions. This is unfortunate, because in quantum theory the mainstream theorists have gone so far as to give up objectivity - both in their physics, and I am afraid, in their approach to physics - in order to save causality."

"Physics is the Conceptual Art of the late 20th Century," Sarfatti claims. "But as a science it will lead to new practical super-technology." Recognising the role of theoretical physics as a cultural 'early warning system,' Sarfatti like his predecessors Carl Jung and Wolfgang Pauli, has investigated its archetypal foundations. Consequently he has evolved into a true 'Trickster' figure in the Gurdjieff/Leary mould, reconciling the roles of conceptual artist, physicist, poet and Magus.

"After Timothy Leary, I'm the only Magus left!" Sarfatti jokes. His synthesis attempts to capture the subjective reality of unconscious archetypes 'revealed' by quantum physics, a reality that, he says, can only be accessed by metaphor, evocation, poetry, and music.

52

Sarfatti's 'court' is the chic Caffe Trieste (dubbed 'Sarfatti's Cave' in deference to Plato). Situated in the bohemian suburb of North Beach, San Francisco, an area Sarfatti equates with the Left Bank of Paris: "very chic and the place to be seen; it's my neighbourhood for over 20 years."

Francis Ford Coppola (founder of the American Zoetrope motion picture production company); Lawrence Ferhlingetti; Guerilla Marketing expert Jay Conrad Levinson; and Jefferson Airplane's visionary musician Paul Kantner ("who visits the Caffe Trieste almost daily") are amongst the local community, supplanted in recent years by the Silicon Valley Nouvelle Riche and Hollywood creative artists who reside in or near North Beach. Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich can be frequently found in local restaurants like Rose Pistolas or Toscas, capturing the Italian old charm that embodied the San Francisco of the Beat Era. Increasingly, North Beach is home to thriving publishing, advertising, investment, and multimedia production houses; and to activist think tanks including the Milarepa Fund and the Earth Island Institute. For many cultural iconoclasts, North Beach is a reminder that San Francisco had atmospheric character and artistic integrity decades before the Haight-Ashbury legacy descended.

The Caffe Trieste has been the site of Sarfatti's 'self imposed' exile from the conservative academic community, and his preferred location for lecturing to a rapt audience of 'espresso scholars'. A noted personality in the North Beach scene, Sarfatti is mentioned in Herbert Gold's works Bohemia: Where Art, Angst, Love & Strong Coffee Meet (New York: Simon & Schuster, 1993) and Travels In San Francisco. His colleagues include the famous Beat poet Gregory Corso, who reinvigorates poetry long demonised by the Machine Age.

'Sarfatti's Cave' has now gone online, as he utilises the World Wide Web as an interactive education tool.

The tax-exempt, non-profit 'Internet Science Education Project' uses SF trappings (the primary directive of The Sarfatti Group is to "Make Star Trek Real") and video-capturing software to make physics relevant to Net surfers. Sarfatti rails against the over-specialisation of academia that leads many people into intellectual cul de sacs. Linking science, technology and culture, he believes, is an exercise in egalitarianism and combats the current U.S. education trend of the creation of a mass "stupid society" and a meritocracy that protects an educated elite. Echoing Christopher Lasch's criticisms of a decline in public discourse, Sarfatti fires missives worldwide, attempting to enliven the physics community.

"I am in the meme business," says Sarfatti, , recalling zoologist Richard Dawkin’s study of ideas, behaviours, and skills that replicate and transmit themselves via imitation (using the human mind similarly to the way that a virus does in a biological host). "My objective is that certain memes will win the competition in cyberspace and shape world consciousness. The Web will be the dominant means of learning and communication; it is a democratic forum.

"Censorship is to be fought. The free competition of conflicting memes on the Web will be subject to Darwinian natural selection pressure plus some advanced quantum action from the future via John Lilly's Cosmic Coincidence Control. This makes it all come out in a globally self-consistent time loop the way Kip S. Thorne defines it in Black Holes & Time Warps (New York: W.W. Norton & Co, 1994).

"The main new feature of the WWW is its dynamic nature. Several minds can contribute to the shaping of a work.

"My field is that of perennial philosophy. I put the most important questions up for discussion. The most important single question is 'What is Consciousness?'

53

"My basic program is the same as Tim Leary's - space migration, intelligence increase, life extension. The cancerous growth of population and diminishing resources means that large decreases of population in the near future are impossible to avoid, barring some breakthrough in space propulsion that would allow large numbers of us to migrate to virgin worlds.

"Let's hope that UFOs are real and that they are time-travelling ships from friendly ETs, or time travellers from our future - because if they are not real, it looks pretty grim for your children and their children."

Encounters with VALIS

Sarfatti insists that in 1952, at age 13, he had an anomalous experience that changed his life. He claims to have received a single telephone call from a cold, metallic voice, declaring to be a conscious computer on a spacecraft from the future. But, after Sarfatti lent his mother a copy of Andrija Puharich's book URI (London: Futura Publications Ltd, 1974), in which he described similar contact with Uri Geller, Sarfatti's mother remembered that the young Sarfatti received the calls over a three-week period. Sarfatti had been selected as one of '400 receptive young minds' to be part of a project that would begin to occur 20 years in the future. He links this alleged 'contact' ("the intrusion of an objective entity") to the Vast Active Living Intelligence System (VALIS) experience of science fiction author Phillip K. Dick. Sarfatti's 'experience' has met with widespread criticism from the physics community. Sarfatti believes that there is an Illuminati or Elect of minds, citing Pythagoras, Leonardo Da Vinci, Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein, and Werner Heisenberg as examples who, throughout history, have deciphered messages from the future. The notion of an Elect is featured in the works of many occultists, Rabelais' Gargantua & Pantagruel (New York: Norton, 1990), Toynbee's "creative minority" and the 'evolutionary Calvinism' SF works of Colin Wilson, such as The Philosopher's Stone (London: Barker, 1969).

In 1973, the late Brendan O'Regan told Sarfatti that he had been collecting data on other scientists who have had similar 'anomalous experiences', predating later investigations by Jacques Vallee and Harvard's John Mack. Sarfatti believes that his critics "wish to crucify me because they think I am lying or insane about my 1952 VALIS-like experience."

Sarfatti claims that his critics are demanding "the blood of the poet" when they claim that his theories and "exuberant talk" are "corrupting the youth." The "hemlock of financial support" prompts many scientists to become slaves of the State, he says. "I think they are afraid of my limited attack on the principle of retarded causality, which holds that causes must always be in the past of their effects. What I am saying is that there is a small, but significant chance for causes to be in the future of their effects. They are afraid of my open mind on the question of precognitive remote viewing (ESP), faster-than-light communication and other heretical notions," he says.

"Neither classical physics or standard quantum physics today permits 'intent' or 'free will' or 'creative intelligence'. This essential hallmark of life demands a violation of the statistical predictions of quantum physics as formulated today. This is the key idea of what I call 'postmodern physics.'"

Sarfatti's early academic studies showed no sign of what was to come. He graduated Midwood High in Flatbush, 1956; the same school that Woody Allen attended. His academic credentials were impeccable: B.A. in physics from Cornell; M.S. from the University of California, San Diego; Ph.D. from the University of California, Riverside; and stints with the Cornell Space Science Centre, the UK Atomic Energy Research Establishment at Harwell, and Heisenberg's Max Planck Institute in Munich. "By 1969 I was an assistant professor of physics at San Diego State with Fred Alan Wolf next door," Sarfatti reveals ironically - Wolf would later link the 'pop physics' of Jungian psychology,

54

quantum physics and New Age phenomena, pre-dating bestsellers like James Redfield's The Celestine Prophecy (New York: Warner Books, 1993).

Sarfatti went on to become an honorary research fellow with David Bohm at Birkbeck College of the University of London in 1971, and was visiting physicist at Nobel laureate Abdus Salam's UNESCO International Center for Theoretical Physics in Trieste, Italy. Ilya Prigogine invited Sarfatti to Brussels in 1973. Sarfatti's career was growing in prestige and recognition.

Then the weirdness descended.

Into the Pandemonium

In 1975, Sarfatti co-founded the legendary Physics-Consciousness Research Group with Esalen Institute's Michael Murphy, funded by EST guru Werner Erhard. Murphy was investigating revelations of the USSR's intensive parapsychological research projects, later setting up the Soviet-American Exchange Program at Esalen in the 1980s, which attracted the likes of Boris Yeltsin during his 1989 U.S. visit.

Sarfatti gave seminars at Esalen, serving as a guiding influence behind Fritjoff Capra, Gary Zukav and other proponents of the 1970s "New Physics" movement, which explored links between quantum physics and Eastern mysticism. Sarfatti brought Zukav to the Esalen Institute, where he conducted the research for his bestselling The Dancing Wu Li Masters (New York: Morrow, 1979), a book which captured worldwide attention. Sarfatti ghost-wrote major parts of the book, but a bitter feud eventuated when Zukav reneged on promised royalty payments. A notable 'paraphysicist' (physicists who investigate ESP phenomena), Sarfatti co-authored the lurid paperback Space-Time & Beyond with Bob Toben and Fred Wolf, later withdrawing his name from the updated edition. Sarfatti also contributed material to futurist Robert Anton Wilson's Cosmic Trigger I: Final Secret of the Illuminati (Berkeley: And/Or Press, 1977), and Jeffrey Mishlove's The Roots of Consciousness: The Classic Encyclopedia of Consciousness Studies (Council Oak Distribution, 1993). Current editions of both Zukav and Mishlove's books have deleted much of the original material, which he wrote for the first editions. "Not a very smart move on the part of the authors!" replies Sarfatti.

The deployment of Psychological Operations (PSYOP) warfare during the Vietnam War led the Central Intelligence Agency, the Defence Intelligence Agency and Office of Naval Intelligence to explore similar 'mindwar' techniques during the 1970s, through facilities like the John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center at Fort Bragg. The CIA funded Project Scanate was set up to explore the use of precognitive remote viewing techniques to probe Soviet military installations from a distance. Psychics including the Scientologist Ingo Swann were employed to gather intelligence data.

Stanford Research Institute's Electronics & Bioengineering Laboratories were assigned to the project under the direction of Russell Targ, parodied in the film Ghostbusters (1984), as Dr. Egon Spengler (Harold Ramis) and Hal Puthoff. Interest in Scanate led to further projects, such as the notoriously named Stargate, and longterm research into neuropsychology and cognitive science. Military intelligence sources invested over $20 million in the Remote Viewing (clairvoyancy) field until 1995. The CIA ended the programs in the late 1970s after determining that while there was some evidence for ESP ability, it yielded no useful results for intelligence work. The DIA took over the program and funded it until 1995, when information on Scanate and Stargate was declassified, leading to a media feeding frenzy lead by ABC's Nightline program.

Targ and Puthoff became entangled in controversy after notorious tests of the Israeli psychic Uri Geller. Sarfatti initially supported Geller's claims of psychic ability after Geller's famous Birkbeck test,

55

attended by Arthur Koestler, Arthur C. Clarke and David Bohm (engineered by Brendan O'Regan). He later labelled Geller a fraud after discussions with magician James Randi. Martin Gardner has captured this strange period in his book Science: Good, Bad & Bogus (Buffalo: Prometheus Books, 1979). With the publication of Journal of Scientific Exploration (Vol. 10, No. 1), and new papers by researchers Edwin May, James Spottiswoode and Jessica Utts, Sarfatti no longer dismisses much of the research as "psuedoscience."

Increasingly disturbed by Werner Erhard's authoritarian tactics and his 1984esque 'psychobabble,' Sarfatti warned of "KGB spies within the New Age movement." The disagreement with Erhard alienated him from many New Age devotees. It was after Erhard ended funding for the Physics Consciousness Research Group, replacing Sarfatti with his assistant Saul Sirag, that Sarfatti exiled himself to the Caffe Trieste, where he lectured on time-travel techniques and consciousness research.

SDI: Rust In Peace

Contact with Lawrence Chickering of the policy think tank Institute for Contemporary Studies (ICS) led to Sarfatti acting as a consultant for the Reagan Administration's fledgling Strategic Defence Initiative (or Star Wars project). This brought Sarfatti into the twilight world of half-truths, where the obsessive apparatus of State security interlocks with sinister forces from big business.

"I spent a lot of time with Marshall Naify in the late 1970s and early 1980s. He is a billionaire and was Chairman of United Artists back then. He was a Hollywood mogul and certainly knew Reagan. Naify, Lawrence Chickering and I had lunch at Enrico's maybe in 1981, where Naify spent at least half an hour describing in detail what would later be Star Wars SDI. Chickering worked directly with Ed Meese. [In the early 1980s Meese was a confidante of Reagan. Meese's Institute for Contemporary Studies think-tank was admired by Reagan, Caspar Weinberger, and Chickering. He became U.S. Attorney General under Reagan but was caught up in the Iran-Contra scandal.] He asked me to write a memo based on this lunch and some of my own ideas. Around this time, I I had a correspondence with Igor Akchurin of the Soviet Academy of Sciences on all of this - so the Soviet Intelligence were getting from us that SDI would really work!

"Chickering told me that my memo was well received and that, in particular, Paul Nitze, Reagan's chief arms control guy read it and 'liked it.' In addition, Casper Weinberger's son was feeding my stuff to his dad, who discussed it with Reagan.

Caffe Trieste and Enrico's were the favourite slumming places for Hollywooders and other 'rich and famous' when they visited San Francisco, says Sarfatti. Having been taught at Cornell in the '50s by "the guys who built the bomb," Sarfatti was now encountering "Reagan's people who were tapping the brains of the North Beach bohemians using the Caffe Trieste" in a bid to build what was then considered the ultimate nuclear warhead for the SDI project.

"Cornell is an Ivy League School, and the CIA is run by Ivy League guys," says Sarfatti. "I was a rebel and a 'loose cannon,' but I was still Ivy League and part of the old-boy network whether I wanted to be or not. I was 'stable' enough for the Naval Intelligence to allow me on nuclear-weapons-carrying aircraft carriers 'on station,' sometimes under battle-readiness Condition Zebra."

Strange Loops and God-Phones

During the 1980s, Sarfatti concentrated on investigating superluminal, or faster than light (FTL) communication. Jung's synchronicity meme ("meaningful coincidences", or John Lilly's 'Cosmic Coincidence Control') challenges causality and suggests that quantum-mechanics theory is incomplete.

56

Taking a step further, he designing and obtained a patent disclosure for a 'God Phone' - a machines designed to decode such messages. In Science: Good, Bad & Bogus, Martin Gardner stated with tongue-in-cheek irony: "I know of no other physicist who thinks it will work. If it does, Sarfatti will become one of the greatest physicists of all time." None of them could work because he was missing the key idea of 'back action.' Sarfatti's early designs tried to use ordinary quantum mechanics, and, therefore, violated Eberhard's theorem. Back-action is really new physics beyond quantum mechanics. As Nobel laureate Brian Josephson explains: "His initial attempts had the air of attempts to derive a perpetual motion machine in the sense that there were mathematical demonstrations of the impossibility. Hence I, like others felt he was wasting his time.

"But there may always be problems with one's basic assumptions, and this is what he and others are looking at now. I doubt, however, if this has led to his reputation improving generally, since he is still working on the basis of unverified theories. If he could make a more specific model in this new area in the way that he tried to produce models (which didn't work) earlier, then things could change. But the responses to [Henry] Stapp's publication of a similar kind in Physical Review should make one wary of believing that people will easily be made more open-minded."

'Who is Number One?'

But other cultural analysts aren’t so sure. Sarfatti has had fierce arguments with Stuart Hameroff about his post-quantum 'back-action' theorem. He dismisses Murray Gell-Mann and the influential Santa Fe Institute as a modern-day Laputan Academy, because he believes that Gell-Mann artificially abstracts the mind's active non-algorithmic understanding as emphasised by Roger Penrose. "Therefore the mind-brain system is a classical-quantum information machine, which undermines the misconceived classical theories of consciousness of Francis Crick, Marvin Minsky, Paul Churchland, Daniel C. Dennett, William Calvin, and Gerald Edelman," claims Sarfatti. And he is angry at the confused physics espoused by populist New Age writers who lack the scientific training to interpret Niels Bohr, Richard Feynman, and David Bohm's legacies correctly.

Colleague Fred Alan Wolf offers a succinct explanation of the nature of these psychological conflicts: "Jack is brilliant but has a serious problem when dealing with people. He doesn't suffer fools very well. And a 'fool' to Jack is often anyone who doesn't agree with him. However, Jack has had a major influence on many people including myself. He has encouraged many to think freely and to engage in very imaginative scientific rambling often leading to new insights."

Don Webb, the Texas-based science fiction writer who has mentioned Sarfatti's theories in his novels and short stories, and who has had anomalous experiences of his own, offers yet another perspective: "He has had some very unusual experiences and been privy to strange secrets. I sometimes get the feeling that like the Lovecraftian hero, Sarfatti has ventured too far past the Looking Glass, and not fully returned. This is an occupational hazard for those who will investigate the secret and suppressed parts of history: they may make stunning discoveries in one area whilst blighting their personal reputations in another. Conventional society fears nothing more than the isolate psyche whose genius isn’t working towards the pre-conceived aims of the group-mind (super-organism). 'Radical friction' as a postmodern survival stratagem where there is no clearly ruling societal paradigm is required as a necessity to annihilate resistance. It overcomes the forces of naturalisation, which over time tend toward hatred and ignorance."

Unlocking the 'Destiny Matrix'

Future causality has influenced the contemporary cultural meme pool. Sarfatti's fellow student at UCSD, Gregory Benford, uses a chilling 'doomed earth' future scenario in his Hugo-winning novel

57

Timescape (New York: Pocket Books, 1980). Californian physicists in a 1962 timeline attempt to decipher a Morse Code-like warning sent from a Cambridge, England physicist in a 1998 timeline, whose world is facing catastrophic environmental devastation. Benford sets these irregularities, according to Sarfatti, against the realistic backdrop of academic physics research subculture: pressures from the university and government, the struggle for grants, the impact upon personal relationships, and the pressures of the wider scientific race for knowledge.

Chris Marker's acclaimed 1963 short La Jetee which influenced Sarfatti, formed the basis for the recent thriller "Twelve Monkeys" (1995). The "Back to the Future" trilogy (1985-1990) along with James Cameron's "Terminator 2: Judgment Day" (1995) also feature the meme. Sarfatti remarks: "If these authors are receiving messages from the future, it may be reflecting the same message."

Future causality also plays an important part in Sarfatti's Destiny Matrix, a conceptual synchronicity timeline describing Sarfatti's family history. He traces his Hebrew title back to the Rabbi, Rashi de Troyes (1040 - 1105), an advisor to Godfrey de Bouillon, who led the First Crusade to Jerusalem and who experienced a precognitive vision. Another ancestor, Samuel Sarfatti, was physician to Pope Julius II, and was crucial in getting Michelangelo to paint the Sistine Chapel ceiling (the esoteric meaning of the painting, says Sarfatti, is God reaching backwards in time to create himself through mankind). This cosmology closely links with the Cabbalistic Great Work of manifesting the unconsciousness, which is probably why Sarfatti was annointed by occultist Carlos Suares as 'Heir to the Tradition' and given the task of "smashing the wall of light." Sarfatti also bears the name of Rashi des Troyes and, like the Tibetan Tulkus, "I may well be a reincarnation not only of Past Rashis but more importantly of Future Rashis."

These Rash's, he says, are part of the Elect or Illuminati that have decoded quantum messages from the future throughout history, transmitting the information via objective art. Sarfatti cites his contact experience, Fred Hoyle's cosmology, as postulated in Evolution from Space (London: Dent, 1981), The Intelligent Universe (New York: Holt, Rinehart, and Winston, 1983) and Cosmic Lifeforce (London: Dent, 1988), and the Anthropic Principle as evidence that strongly suggests an intelligent yet 'limited' God intervened in the primordial moment after the Big Bang when the universe was smaller than an electron, to create the conditions required for carbon-based life. This superluminal being (a kind of benevolent VALIS) is implicit in the Sufi/Hermetic 'subjective conscious evolution' traditions, and Sarfatti suggests that this goal is what mankind is evolving towards; the true secret behind the world's religious traditions. The pioneering artificial intelligence (AI) work of I.J Good (who helped develop the Enigma Machine in World War II to crack Nazi ciphers) and other writers such as Freeman Dyson and Roger Penrose supports the theoretical possibility of such an entity.

Sarfatti believes that his model is a real alternative to Frank J. Tipler's famous Omega Point scenario, postulated in the controversial book The Physics of Immortality: Modern Cosmology, God, and the Resurrection of the Dead (London: Macmillan, 1995), which is a closed universe and relies on the strong AI that Roger Penrose objects to. Tipler suggests that the fast-track evolution of information processing and the appearance of nanotechnology reveals a process of exponentially increasing computational capacities which will extend over hundreds of trillions of years of the universe's lifespan until a final gravitational collapse will densely compact this information into an omniscient point of ultimate knowing. Essentially, God will come to know God, and humanity evolved as a mechanism for the universe to perceive itself. Sarfatti hopes his model will endure the wrath of fundamentalist Christians and sceptic atheists that Tipler faced.

"It looks as though my 'back-action' theory of matter on its pilot quantum wave, which generates consciousness, and my physics/consciousness model predicts VALIS in the far future of an open

58

universe, which continues to expand forever. My superluminal theories and cosmology are compatible with Penrose's recently published works."

Quantum Physics and the 'Meanings of Life'

The presence of Roger Penrose's neo-Platonism - or recent mystically inclined cosmologies - has come under attack from scientists uncomfortable with such tendencies, including Daniel C. Dennett in Darwin's Dangerous Idea (New York: Simon & Schuster, 1995), Nicholas Humphrey in Leaps of Faith: Science, Miracles and the Search for Supernatural Consolation (New York: Basic Books, 1996) and notably Carl Sagan in The Demon Haunted World (New York: Ballantine Books, 1997). These books highlight the dangers of 'degenerative mysticism' on the edge of the scientific frontier.

Sarfatti believes that behind some of these criticisms is a political agenda: "Many scientists like Sagan, while brilliant, have not escaped their early red diaper toilet training since most of them have Leftist if not Stalinist backgrounds. That is where the anti-religion bias comes from in most of them." Sociopolitical factors played a crucial part in determining the durability of established scientific facts and approaches, he says. "[Marxist sociologist] Herbert Marcuse suggested that Big Science is dominated by mean-spirited men who have a problem with 'the vision thing,' which results in a limited one-dimensionality. The Communist Party dominated Robert J. Oppenheimer's crew from the 1930s including most of my professors. Luckily many of the top physicists today are religious in some sense, which is a good thing."

Heuristic pursuers of knowledge need to avoid "the double edged sword of scientific morality and social immorality," Sarfatti believes, "if we want to avoid tyranny and dogma." Echoing Socrates, Sarfatti demands that "we should not allow political and moral considerations to impede the search for scientific truth. There is a delicate balance here between the extremes of Nazi and Stalinist types of corruption of Science on the one hand, and complete disregard of scientists for the public welfare, on the other."

"We have a strong tendency to dismiss vigorously any ideas that are contrary to the official line," says Brian Josephson. "Scientists distrust intuitions, except in the case that they agree with their own 'gut feelings'."

The Non-Lethal Warfare Imperative

The major testing ground for this morality may well be the current non-lethal psychic-warfare research being conducted by the military intelligence community in search of a 'Manchurian Candidate.'

"Non-lethal psychic warfare using the distant manipulation of the consciousness of the 'enemy' will be an important factor in the 21st century," Sarfatti believes. "But it is preferable to the old means of war. The potential for these techniques of mind-control to be used in the field on unsuspecting naive populations in 'non-lethal warfare' are awesome to behold and contemplate. They can be and will be easily misused by authoritarian immoral power structures. These techniques not only involve manipulation by drugs and ordinary electromagnetic, sound and kinaesthetic signals - as in subliminal television broadcasting and virtual reality transmission via the Web - but also purport to involve quantum action at a distance in the reports on psychokinesis, telepathy and remote viewing."

Despite the SRI controversies during the 1970s, Sarfatti believes that " there is still great interest," which is proven, he feels, by the gathering of such heavyweight physicists, neuro-psychologists, and cognitive-science researchers as Paul Davies, Roger Penrose, David Chalmers, Michael Lockwood,

59

Brian Josephson, Henry Stapp, Daniel C. Dennett, and Sarfatti himself at the Tucson II Conference on Consciousness held in April 1996, in Tucson, Arizona.

"Most of the funding can be traced to spooks. If I were head of CIA or DIA I would put a few billion dollars into consciousness research."

The 1996 U.S. defence authorisation bill earmarked $37.2 million to further investigate non-lethal technologies. Colonel John B. Alexander of Los Alamos National Laboratory, Major Edward A. Dames of PSI TECH Inc, Willis Harman of the Institute for Noetic Sciences, and other 'spooks' maintain links between military intelligence, physics researchers and the New Age community, claims Sarfatti.

"We have had a few talks on PSI [ESP] topics at the Cavendish," says Brian Josephson. "They are very well attended and in the very short term people were impressed, but they very quickly forgot about the talks, which might just as well not have been given. However, attitudes are not as negative as they once were.

"I gather the evidence is that precognitive remote viewing tests work," says Josephson. "Not with 100% reliability but with more accuracy than standard CIA guess work. I gather that the CIA research was stopped for sociopolitical reasons rather than because it was discredited - or maybe they just felt it had been tested enough."

Edwin May of The Laboratories for Fundamental Research recalls: "The company that conducted anomalous-cognition research for DIA was Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC). Since I was the director of the contractor effort in the government's activity in PSI research since 1985, I have some understanding of what they did. At SAIC we did not conduct a single precognition experiment. In fact, except for two studies, one of which Puthoff and Targ published in their Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers article, we have not been studying precognition since 1972."

Sarfatti could well still be one of the greatest physicists alive. Alternatively, he would be a great candidate as scriptwriter for "The X-Files".= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

23-b. StealthSkater note:

Apparently I came upon the end of an on-going debate between Jack and his colleagues and the Macroscopic quantum tunneling proposals of UNITEL and Larry Maurer. Everything (that I know personally know) of UNITEL is archived at doc pdf URL . In a nutshell, Maurer and some friends happened upon a 1981 Eugene, Oregon UFO sighting which rapidly turned into more of what appears to be a deliberate "demonstration" for them. Sort of like Jack's famous "phone-call from the Future" incident.

Since then, they have back-theorized how the quantum laser they witnessed could be constructed using Earth materials and how it could cause such instantaneous distance-traveling at what seems to be infinite speed. A lot of mainstreamers -- including Dr. Sarfatti

61

-- were highly-skeptical and ridiculed Maurer & Co. using mathematical arguments. Some of this were refuted by Yoshinari Minami in an exchange with Michio Kaku. Even Robert Bigelow's NIDS group admits that it is currently "fashionable" to talk about light-string travel even though this may not be technologically feasible for more than 100 years.

Unlike other skeptical physicists, Ed Halerewicz, Jr. ( doc pdf URL ) did a painstaking analysis (archived at doc pdf URL ) and found that UNITEL's proposals were based on obscure-but-sound physics with an unproven way of "tieing" them together. Ed noted that (1) some results tended to validate the UNITEL design while (2) others would require a change in the known laws of physics. But certainly -- at least to my way of thinking -- reason to investigate further rather than ridicule and walk away. MQT doesn't require "folding space" or stargates or wormholes. It is quantum tunneling on a Macroscopic scale. The trick is to fool Mother Nature into allowing an everyday-sized object to behave like a subatomic particle and thus evade General Relativity laws.

Dear Mark:… … … … … … … … … …

… We have an agreement with Mr. Sarfatti where he won't bad-mouth us (at least in public) anymore and we won't put down his ridiculous accusations. However, if we find out that he is continuing to cause damage with his badmouthing -- which I suspect it was he getting to Alex Labounsky and Tom Bearden -- then we shall pursue a libel and/or slander suit. It's okay to state one's opinion; but you know there is a line that's drawn when damage is definitely done. We aren't worried about the naysayers, though. That's just part of what comes along with the enchilada of the business one gets involved with.

We are so proud of our team of associates that we have put together over the years that we are literally going to be the most powerful aerospace and electronics firm in the world. Our contract proposal for the smart-skin project we had with Rolls Royce poignantly illustrates the technical feasibility of our technical aspirations as our proposal was scrutinized by the entire Rolls Royce technical evaluation process system whereby we were given a grade of 7 out of a possible 8 whereby 7 & 8 are fundable projects.

Same with Yoshinari Minami, Head of the Patent Services Dept., NEC, Tokyo, proving to Michio Kaku that the WKB approx didn't relate to our design (Dr. Kaku wasn't ready to debate any further!), mathematically showing conservation of energy & momentum to the Honda R&D technical evaluating team. Same with Dr. Terence Barrett, Manager Advanced Concepts at Boeing Aerospace who gave us an "A+" after a formal technical revue of our project in December 1989. Circumstances causing economic cutbacks have held us back, not anything related to the feasibility of our designs.

I think it is only a matter of time that we will succeed in our endeavors, naysayers and all. Remember, at the turn of the last century, the naysayers were still announcing the unfeasibility of heavier than air flight two years after the Wright brothers flew at Kitty Hawk. … … We have made an impact on the world aerospace designers whereby several MQT design concepts have

62

been recognized as feasible. The IAA-IAF has welcomed us aboard as one of theirs . So we shall see what happens in the near future! Stay in touch, Mark !

We looked at the UNITEL claims at ISSO about two years ago. Like all crackpot Cargo Cult pseudoscience, there was no “there” there. What do you think is “there”?

Perhaps you have seen something we missed at ISSO? If so please give, in your own words, what the basic physics is behind their idea? I could not find one. I could be wrong. So make a case for them. {StealthSkater note: apparently Dr. Halerewicz found a LOT of stuff that you missed. What were you guys doing?! I have yet to see ANY math analyses pertaining to UNITEL like Halerewicz did, just lots of skeptical and name-calling words on paper. But serious issues do remain here as do material science challenges, so the burden-of-proof remains on UNITEL. Some of Larry's claims/inklings (like "reflecting space-time") have drawn criticism from Halerewicz himself. But if one can possibly attain MQT, what other technology could beat that?! I think it's worth staying the course …}

My physics is not tied to Modanese. It is Einstein’s physics plus standard ideas on spontaneous broken symmetry. I get a Modanese type term in a much more general context than he envisioned.

I mean a $trillion a gram to produce and they need a hundred pounds of anti-matter fuel? Come on! Whose space propulsion ideas are feasible or not here?

My part of the whole deal, has been to turn Mike's physics into hardcore engineering drawings. The lens is -- as you say -- the most difficult and complicated. It took us years (not to mention the tears) to develop our design (from what we were shown from the working craft) and find a lab at the University of Chicago with EPI's MBE reps. {StealthSkater note: the MicroPhysics Lab there was previously run by Northrop-Grumman for the US Army. Interestingly, they were investigating a Type II semiconductors a generation older than the one UNITEL has patented. Since then, MPL has seen to gone back to academia-control; I don't know if the Army gave up on this stuff or not. I have also heard that there is are Type III substances, and I don't know how -- if at all -- any of this relates to the mythical ORMEs/ORMUS stuff.} The II-VI semiconductor compounds have been virtually overlooked and ignored by researchers in the industry except for quantum dots. We do have the expertise and the labs to construct our lens which will be a high temp, paraboloidically curved laser lens. The curved lens provides the fiber bundle connection for the parallel transport of superconducting system for string-like qualities to be added to the ship and field to take place.

{ I myself was a recipient of the "Sarfatti treatment" when I forwarded to him a link to yet another "new physics" site that purported to explain everything that stymied our current science (http://www.grantchronicles.com/ ). My training was in practical chemical & nuclear engineering, not theoretical subatomic and relativistic physics (much of which is still a "model" -- which is fine for that purpose -- and is awaiting experimental validation). So I didn't know what to believe here and -- naively-innocently and with no agenda of my own -- made the mistake of asking Jack for his opinion. I'm sure I asked dumb questions in college also, but my professors were more interested in TEACHING than ridiculing -- the following was a first for me. Well, he did end it with an invitation to buy his book which might suggest he thinks I'm worothy of "saving".

If he has pulled similar stunts on too many people, I can see why nobody is going to pay attention to him. He can rate and rave and call them "pundits" or whatever he wants. Like Wilt Chamberlain, he did it to himself. And that's unfortunate because I think he has some great ideas and keen insights and has never been afraid to venture onto shaky grounds. But what he considers an "art form" will have the effect of shooting himself in the proverbial foot. But, after all, he did label himself a "theatrical physicist".

In the past few weeks, the Jack Sarfatti new physics discussion group has served as a gathering forum for many of the key players in the early MJ-12 disclosures. There is Robert Collins, Rick Doty, Dr. Christopher Green, Dr. John Alexander, Smear's own Karl Pflock and others, who have been discussing various facets of the alleged UFO cover-up and arguing the finer points of UFO history. Even parapsychologist (and frequent "Smear" contributor) George Hansen's name is on the discussion list.

"The Sarfatti group generally discusses topics in breakthrough physics, but in the past few weeks it has centered on aspects of the alleged ongoing UFO cover-up. Political journalist Dick Farley recently stimulated a lively discussion of alleged presidential briefings about UFOs (based on his claim of having personally helped Dr. C. B. Scott Jones prepare one such briefing for then Presidential Science Advisor John Gibbons).

"Also participating in the sometimes heated discussions is Dan T. Smith, a physicist turned UFO activist who is well known to many "Saucer Smear" readers for his idiosyncratic, apocalyptic beliefs. It has been alleged that Smith recently received a briefing about crashed UFOs from a government official (shades of Bill Moore!)

"About the only characters who have not yet appeared on the discussion list are Moore and his friend Jamie Shandera. "Smear" readers can only hope that Moore and Shandera will soon appear on the Sarfatti list to help clear up some of the lingering mysteries surrounding their reported contacts with government agents who are responsible for much of modern-day UFO folklore.

Jack Sarfatti - a skeptical look at his ZPE claimsby Lawrence B. Crowell

note: a response from Jack appears at the end of this. Tthis page is posted by Eric Krieg at http://www.phact.org/e/z/sarfatti.htm .

I can give my experience with Jack Sarfatti. I ran into him in 1997 and he intrigued me with this idea he was working on that involved the Bohm approach to quantum mechanics, and where there is a sort of feedback. Bohm's formalism of QM involves writing the Schrodinger equation into real and imaginary parts. The real part is identical in form to the Hamilton-Jacobi equation of classical mechanics with an additional quantum potential, and the imaginary part is a continuity equation (Navier-Stokes) that describes what is referred to as the pilot wave. The H-J equation describes the motion of a particle with the additional quantum potential that determines its motion. The pilot wave is "dual" to the particle as the guiding wave of deBroglie-Bohm-Vigier. Nothing is wrong with this, and is essentially standard quantum mechanics in a form that is frankly just not commonly used.

Jack Sarfatti claims that there exists a feedback loop (back-action) between the particle and the pilot wave. Anyway Jack gave me a small stipend to study this and to formalize this theory if it is workable. As it turns out I found that Jack's back action simply is not consistent with physics that is well

67

established. Further, in working on this I kept getting a constant barrage of messages that concerned his interests in UFOs and paranormal stuff. Further, Jack's "post quantum mechanics" is claimed to be the source for ESP, remote viewing, and other paranormal claims. As time went on I became discouraged with both the content of much of Jack's writing, and further his insistence that my inability to make his theory work was not due to its failure but due to what he saw as my incompetence. This of course leads to a failure to effectively dialogue on the problems with this theory.

If you examine Jack's web site you will find various outlandish claims, including Jack's putative phone call from a space alien in 1953 at the age of 12! Believe me it is all there, including zero point energy claims. He also employs the general theory of relativity in an errant way (confuses components of gauge-like connection 1-forms with stress-energy tensors etc) to advance claims of warpdrives or tunnels into other cosmologies. He apparently is trying to interest people in connection with the missile defense stuff in funding him. Jack does have apparent national security and defense associations. I think he is following the gigabuck trail of defense spending on research.

When it comes to Jack's funding he is terribly evasive about his sources. I think he has it in his interests in separating skeptics from his patrons. He continually makes claims of results that cannot be released due to proprietary agreements with agencies he cannot disclose. Of course this is not the way science is properly done! This all leads to very suspicious behavior that appears not to be scientifically honest. I have argued with him over these things, and he is infernally difficult to dialogue with over disagreements. He also has a minion of followers, some who frankly should know better, who defend Jack ardently. Whatever the case, Jack Sarfatti does have money, and boasts about his Jaguar that he drives. As he does not have a "real job" or a position at a lab or university he is getting a reasonable amount of money somehow. I work on DOE and Soros grants and I drive 2 1980's vintage Toyotas. Jaguars require money way beyond what I manage to earn.

I will say that with Jack it is often hard to distinguish a fictional boast from something that has any basis in reality. Jack boasts various connections with CIA operatives and allusions to secretive work on fringe physics stuff or UFOs. I have wondered if Jack might be a part of some disinformation effort to increase "UFO fear" and thus increase voter-ship in favor of exotic weaponry. Who knows? Jack will also at times go on about his claimed familiar relation with the Jewish Tosifist Rashi, and write outrageous historical claims, including that he is the reincarnation of Rashi! If you really want to get a good taste of his stuff, email him in a manner that is highly complimentary towards his work and get on his email list. After a while you will get to see the depths of either Jack's delusions or charlatanism.

Jack's web site is http://www.stardrive.org/title.shtml

Jack has a Puthoff piece on ZPE at http://stardrive.org/Jack/puthoff1.pdf

If you do not want to be on Jack's email list, you can spend (waste) time reading his past correspondences at http://www.stardrive.org/library.shtml . There should be a few involving arguments between Jack and myself.

Jack's physics is not worth trying to figure out extensively. On the few occasions that I actually read his physics stuff, I usually find problems. Jack knows physics but in a sort of "dangerous way". Jack actually has a Ph.D. from UCSD, but his physical thinking is terribly flawed.

As I work "in Gratis" with an organization that is funded by DOE and the Soros foundation and is connected to the U. Budapest, I have run into a number of these characters. Working on theoretical physics in a semi-independent basis is tough, and I rather frequently get posts from people involved with cold fusion, ZPE and other things. The difference is that I work hard to keep my studies honest and I

68

have managed to publish a fair number of papers in peer-reviewed journals. By the way Jack has published only 4 papers in his career, all in the 1970's as a student.

Jack Sarfatti's response to Larry Crowell's bogus article:

#1 Larry apparently misrepresented himself as completing his PhD in physics in the middle of my employing him as an independent contractor.

#2 Larry never understood the point regarding Bohm's theory, which is explained on p. 30 and in section 14.6 of the Bohm and Hiley book "The Undivided Universe". The point is that orthodox micro-quantum theory depends on there being no direct feedback or reaction of the particle back on its pilot wave. Bohm and Hiley then discuss, in a very preliminary way, what such feedback entails. This situation has been clarified in the past few years by Antony Valentini from a slightly different point of view than mine but we reach the same conclusion - signal nonlocality. Orthodox micro-quantum theory has signal locality, i.e. one cannot use nonlocality to communicate directly.

> Larry: "Jack Sarfatti claims that there exists a feedback loop (back-action) between the particle and the pilot wave."

This is typical sloppy Crowell writing not making the relevant distinctions because his understanding is confused.

Orthodox micro-quantum theory is in the unusual situation of violating the generalized action-reaction principle in order to attain the signal locality of the standard statistical predictions of micro-quantum theory. Antony Valentini calls this "sub-quantal equilibrium" or "sub-quantal heat death". The problem, which Larry never understood, is what would a new theory be like which obeyed the action-reaction principle, or what Valentini calls "sub-quantal non-equilibrium". That was the problem I gave to Larry and he never even got off home plate. He succeeded only in showing the obvious known at the beginning that the standard theory does not allow such feedback!

The rest of Larry's comments are about my personal life and are not relevant to the physics issues. They are distorted also. My story is in several of my books "Destiny Matrix" and "Dark Energy" of the Space-Time and Beyond Series soon available at http://www.1stbooks.com .

Lest there be any doubt of my physics credentials. Let's see Larry's.

69

My book Destiny Matrix is, among other things, about this problem that we see most vividly recently in Nick Herbert's defense of David Irving. My book is available from http://www.1stbooks.com .

Also hear my 1978 radio play on this topic at http://qedcorp.com/book/psi/hitweapon.html in Real Audio and http://stardrive.org/cartoon/MagicBean.html in FLASH

PS: another inaccuracy - I got my PhD in 1969. I was not a student in the 1970s. I published papers after 1970's e.g. 1991 Physics Essays, two papers in Vigier Toronto Conference 1997 I think published in hard back by Kluwer. I have not published much in conventional journals because I have not been in academia since 1974.

__________________________________________________________________________

[LC: The following is an example of some of Sarfatti's writing]

The physical meaning of the formal (purely mathematical) K-transform is the hope or conjecture that there is a practical way to tweak the quantum vacuum to controllably change its normal values of electric permittivity and magnetic permeability. Indeed, as Eric Davis of NIDS will show at MUFON in Orange County, July 2001, the TRUFO phenomenon suggests something like this is happening in a very practical way able to render our conventional air defense impotent and obsolete. Allegedly this has been really happening regularly for at least the past 60 years. There are also reports that Benito Mussolini had Marconi investigating TRUFO close encounters in Italy in the early 1930's

Comments11-28-2003

I have been working with octonions for some time, and I think that quantum gravity is octo-octonionic. Octonions are nonassociative algebras, or geometries, that physically correspond to nonassociative fields. A good initial reference to this is John Baez' paper "The Octonions." I did find this summer that Tony Smith has a rather extensive web site with considerable discussion of octonions, and found that some of my analysis was previously produced there. He also has quite a lot of writing on the A-D-E description of Lie algebras as well. All of this is in connection with a supergravity theory he has worked on that he calls "Voudou" theory. He also has some curious numerology or Cabalistic ideas that he extrapolates from all of this.

My prior familiarity with Tony Smith is through past communications with Jack Sarfatti. I honestly regard Jack Sarfatti as a complete delusional maniac. After all he claims, or has claimed in the past, to have gotten a phone call from space aliens, and that he is a part of some supersecret intelligence agency involved with intergalactic matters or reverse engineering crashed UFOs, that he is getting $1 billion from INTEL for a quantum chip, and other such nonsense. And of course his story along these lines morphs with time, with various denials about prior claims. Further, my prior considerations of Sarfatti's ideas about physics consistently indicated serious flaws in his physics, and even more to the point basic errors in his whole manner of thinking. Jack's thinking reflects a lot of tautological and circular failures.

70

In fact Jack bases the veracity of his physics about faster than light travel (FTL) on the existence of UFOs and the like. Jack "reasons" that FTL must be real, for how else are space aliens getting here? On that basis he claims to trump the whole physics world, and if so he must really have me there! Tony communicates with Jack, but it is not clear to me the extent of his connection with Sarfatti.

On the other hand, my limited communications from Smith and reading his web site indicates that he has not leaped into the sort of insanity Sarfatti has. On his web site he stays for the most part with math-physics and keeps things on a reasonable and logical level.

best, Lawrence B. Crowell

Tony Smith is welcome to participate in AIAS provided that the emphasis is on achieving a deeper understanding of the Unified Field Theory now attracting major interest worldwide on www.aias.us.

I agree with LBC's comments about Jack Sarfatti, from whom I have received personally abusive e mail, (describing me in non-scientific terms as an "asshole" and so on) and who ran a hate mail group directed at AIAS before the latter became well known internationally. I believe that this hate mail group has now been shut down by Yahoo, Inc. The credibility of the Vigier series of conferences has been heavily damaged by the presence in Vigier Three and Four of Jack Sarfatti as a session chair. I also received personally abusive e-mail from the Chair of Vigier Four, Richard Amoroso. This e-mail mocked my illness and made fun of my divorce. Previously, hate mail had been sent from another Vigier Four attendee, Geoffrey Hunter, to my wife Laura, terrorizing her. It is my current understanding that any further missives of this nature will be construed by the Police as first-degree harassment, and a warrant drawn out for Hunter's arrest. Members of the Vigier Family and others repeatedly urged that Vigier Four be abandoned, because of the cranial damage which Vigier suffered in an accident well prior to the conference, but these appeals were ignored, and the Conference forced through. At least one member of the so-called international committee of the conference resigned in protest and none of Vigier's long term co workers were invited or attended.

So the Vigier series of conferences has lost both scientific credibility and the ethical high ground. One is as important as the other in science and in life in general.

EXCHANGEWITH JACK SARFATTI

OVERGRADE-SCHOOL ALGEBRA

For the pleasure of our readers, we include below an email exchange with Jack Sarfatti that took place in January, 2002. Sarfatti peddles himself as the "magus" of the so-called "new physics movement". This movement, bored with the traditional aspiration of science to study and articulate the laws of nature - a commodity of which there isn't much left anyway -- devotes itself, instead, to the study and articulation of the laws governing the events in Hollywood SF movies, a commodity of which we have plenty. As Sarfatti's quaintly punctuated signature says, "What I cannot create. I do not understand." (he puts this on every one of his messages). Clearly, then, nature is out, and Hollywood is in.

Sarfatti writes stuff like:

"Let Psi (P) be a local macroscopically phase coherent order parameter from a spontaneously broken continuous symmetry in the “superconducting” quantum vacuum of the action of the unified boson field of integer spins 0, 1,2. This includes Higgs, electroweak-strong and gravity fields. We shall worry about spin ½ leptoquarks and possible supersymmetry partners later. Also we are right at the edge between point particles, i.e. infrared limit, and strings. The coherent phase order derandomizes the ZPF of the unified field. This cohering of the ZPF is ignored in the Haisch-Rueda m from EM ZPF model. Without Psi , one cannot, obviously, extract useful work from the metastable quantum vacuum."

Jack Sarfatti, The World Crystal Lattice Quantum Vacuum

but seems incapable of performing the operation of substitution of length for mass in a simple algebraic formula. Sarfatti has a piece of software that converts all his correspondence into reams of unfathomable HTML and displays it on the Web, at http://www.stardrive.org/library.shtml. Since the reams are unfathomable, the only conceivable purpose for this display is to have his orations come up in as many search-engine queries as possible. He also likes to have his individual messages widely disseminated. In the exchange posted below, for example, each message was sent to a recipient list of about 50 people.

1. Sarfatti picks up, from a posting by Eugene Mallove, an announcement for monographs AS2-13 and AS2-14 of Experimental Aetherometry, looks at one of the abstracts on the Aetherometry website, and dribbles bile upon the formula for mass-free energy.

The physical dimensions are not even correct!

So much for Mallove's credibility for promoting this crackpot stuff.

For the record, so far especially after the ISSO experience when we got our hands dirty with actual tests of several goofy claims, I know of no claim for "over unity" zero point energy and for "propellantless propulsion", or for "tractor beams", or for "anti gravity" or for over unity electrical magnetic motors that

***The Correas graciously provided me with the following response:

The equation Sarfatti alludes to: 1. Does not appear on the abstracts you forwarded our notice about (AS2-13 & AS2-14). It appears

on the abstract for AS2-09. Sarfatti cannot even count itemized abstracts. 2. The equation is correct and has the correct dimensionality: any schoolboy could realize this by

simple dimensional analysis: - the mass-equivalent wavelength of the electron is squared: L[exp2]- the frequency f of the electron-graviton gives: T[exp-1]- and lastly, the glorious speed of light c gives: L*T[exp-1]

Result - which the only pseudo-relativist we know of would dream of disputing is Sarfatti:

L[exp3]*T[exp-2]

or, in meters per second: cubed meters per second squared.

So, this gives rise to two simple questions:

74

1. What is Sarfatti doing when he purports to be able to know and perform complex mathematics - such as those involved in Relativity, QM or QCD - when he cannot verify a simple dimensionality AND FALSELY ACCUSES THE CORREAS OF HAVING GOTTEN IT WRONG?

2. Forget about the scientist: what kind of a human beast freely passes judgments to the right and the left on that which he has never read, studied or even knows ANYTHING ABOUT?

Since Sarfatti never read even a page of our work, any further engagement with this moron is ipso facto useless. Of course, under these conditions, he would have to be equally ignorant of the aetherometric notation for the dimensionality of massfree energy.

3. Sarfatti cannot muster the grade-school algebra proficiency required to substitute length for mass. Since the formula for massfree energy demands of him this mathematical leap, he declares it "goofy deluded nonsense". He refers his 50 recipients to Lorentzian Wormholes by Matt Visser, a text which - one can only presume - does not utilize algebraic substitution. He decries physics which utilizes such substitution; it ain't what he learned at Cornell from Hans Bethe, he says.

Bull Tweedle I simply clicked on the URL provided by Mallove http://www.aetherometry.com/abs-AS2v2A.html#abstractAS2-13

and in a split second noticed

Eαe = λe 2 fe c = 3.851949 m3sec-2

Is there anyone else here who defends the above formula?

> 2. The equation is correct and has the correct dimensionality: any schoolboy could realize this by simple dimensional analysis: - the mass-equivalent wavelength of the electron is squared: L[exp2]

What does this mean? Looks goofy to me.

75

What is the meaning of "mass-equivalent wavelength of the electron"? How is it an area? Nonsense. Mass is a length in geometrodynamic units not an area. So much for "aetherometrodynamics". If this is the quality of "Infinite Energy", then remainder it for toilet paper.

This guy Carreras is an incompetent idiot. Throw the poseur out.

note that when m is the electron mass 9.1093897 x 10^-28 grams

Gm/c^2 = 6.764 x 10^-53 cm = gravity radius of the electron

hbar/mc = 3.861592 x 10^-11 cm is the quantum Compton wavelength of the electron.

So what is this asshole foaming at the mouth about?

What is "L[exp2]" What notation is that? I assume it means L^2

I see no factors of G/c^2 in the given formula, for example. Eαe = λe 2 fe c = 3.851949 m3sec-2

If you want to use geometrodynamic units

c = G = 1

mp = Lp = Tp = hbar^1/2

e.g. 4.3.2 p. 41 "Lorentzian Wormholes" by Matt Visser.

So what is that number 3.851949 meters^3 sec^-2 supposed to mean as an energy?

Correas's remarks here are

> - the frequency f of the electron-graviton gives: T[exp-1]> - and lastly, the glorious speed of light c gives: L*T[exp-1]> Result - which the only pseudo-relativist we know of would dream of disputing is Sarfatti:> L[exp3]*T[exp-2]> or, in meters per second: cubed meters per second squared.

76

No need. I have seen enough. Eαe = λe 2 fe c = 3.851949 m3sec-2 is quite enough.

I rest my case. QED.

Eugene, you must have been sleeping through your 3 semesters of physics at MIT if you cannot see how stupid this "rebuttal"from Paulo and Alexandra is? What mental institution are they in? What these idiots above are saying ain't the kind of physics I learned from Hans Bethe at Cornell. What academic credentials in physics do they have?

4. Sarfatti again, doing geometrodynamics - a branch of physics in which the mass of the Earth comes out to be 0.4438 cm. A rather piddling length, no? Let us not be so crude as to speculate what might have suggested it to Sarfatti. Not the Earth, certainly.

PS in GMD units

Eαe = λe 2 fe c = 3.851949 m3sec-2

giving the crackpots benefit of the doubt would ~ 4 meters.

The mass of the Earth in these same units is only GM(Earth)/c^2 = 0.4438 cm

Mass of Sun is ~ 1.5 10^5 cm

So the energy mass equivalent in the idiot's formulae is on the astronomical scale about a thousand times bigger than the Earth's mass.

5. Once more, Sarfatti. He cites from an undisclosed almanac a set of guidelines - most of which seem to apply to Sarfatti himself - for diagnosing scientists as crackpots without having to examine their work. He also cites a confirming opinion about the Correas from a fellow "new physicist", Saul-Paul (a man with a dual passport to heaven) Sirag, who, like Sarfatti, hasn't read the Correas' work, but who remembers having gone to high-school.

Here are a couple of pointers on how to spot such people:

78

1. Words, non-stop (as they try to over-load your brain with words to a point where your head says, "Heck with it, let me just put some time into this to arrive at a real conclusion." The main goal is to short-circuit your reasoning capacity).

2. Childlike airs (portraying themselves as simple and in some ways care-free. This is a deliberate tactic to disarm you).

3. Lack of metered self-control (full of themselves, a lack of humility).

4. Aggressive (extremely confident and insistent that others do as they say based on persuasion rather than logic).

5. Both derision and glorification of others (one of the primary keys of their tactics for manipulation, push-pull. One of the main ways for this to play out is extreme pats on the head to you for agreeing with even the smallest item, and equally extreme spite for disagreeing. They do the same *about others* while using things the *others* said).

6. Void promises. (I was told twice the inventor would call me, no dice, only excuses. The promises are to create optimism. Follow-thru would be counter-productive for them.)

7. Name-dropping (So-and-so is going to talk to us becomes, so-and-so believes, and is going to get what could have been yours. But so-and-so was told the same thing using a different so-and-so lever.)

8. Physically large people. (I have seen this game played many times, and the individuals are always overweight. A little-known fact is that an overweight condition is often a shield or buffer that the person has formed around them, either to mask a deep hurt from the past or to try to hide their unethical tendencies of today).

9. Copious use of catch-phrases (can you say "linear" yet?).

10. None of them know how to spell, and make no attempt at proper grammar, and couldn't care less about that.

You can do an easy litmus test to find out if you are dealing with a person like this. Simply feed back to them something they said, slightly reworded, in a paragraph. If they pounce on that and do a laser-focus launch into overdrive in rewarding you while ignoring the other things you said, you've got them pegged.

Additionally, such people usually consider themselves expert liars. They are so proud of this fact that they deliberately tell unnecessary lies just to get off on watching people accept a falsehood. This is practice. Obviously, it derives out of a lack of respect for others, and lack of concern for honorable behavior, and that in turn comes from their own hidden low self-esteem in their desperate condition, which stems in large part from the wrongs they commit. So they are in an endless loop, are a bit lonely there, and want you to join it. In one sense, it could be regarded an embarrasing cry for help, except for the fact that they will not accept help.

So it's like cryptography or DNA. Line up the holes and see if there is a match. Jack, a lot of this comes from other people I have observed. I don't know you that well. Simply put, if the shoe fits, it is probably yours.

If this pattern belongs to you, then I would say to the rest of you, be afraid, be very very afraid. Yes, they are starkly and blatently evil, period, case-closed. And some of them even know that. They serve the master that once overcame *them*. If this sort of person believes they have you on the hook, and you get away, they then seek to do you as much harm as they possibly can. Their lies at that point become despicably sadistic and truly real-world dangerous."

Finally from Saul-Paul Sirag:

Jack,

I have looked at the context of the Correa equations, i.e., section AS2-10. The experiment involved is in electrostatics, using a gold-leaf electroscope (thus the term "gold-graviton" is coined). The experiment is not actually described, but some conclusions are drawn. As you know, electrostatics is a very tricky area experimentally. I remember working with electroscopes in my high-school physics class in Alberta. These worked pretty well because the air in Alberta is usually very dry (especially in the winter).

Without any details of their experimental set-up and methods, I can only wonder how they controlled for moisture content in the atmosphere to prevent leakage of charge.

I agree with you that their equations make no dimensional sense. We have better ideas to work on than this.

I have looked at many of their pieces of writing on the AKRONOS website. They seem to be at loggerheads with a host of people--especially the Reichians, although they base many of their experimental ideas on Reich's experiments. Of course, they eschew the standard ideas of physics, and claim to be creating a new physics, while using some terminology from standard physics, such as "energy" and "graviton". So it's very confusing to read their very verbose (but uninformative) writings.

They have some patents. But I believe that patents don't require working models. There are many things patented that don't really work.

We have other fish to fry. I recommend that we leave the Correa people alone. Assuming that they are wrong, they will fail--like many others we know about. It's definitely not worth our time to argue with them :-)

All for now.

Dear Gene, Message for Sarfatti -- forwarded through Gene Mallove

****

Here is a response to the absurd mail forwarded to us from the Sarfatti list. Please forward it for us. We do not intend to ping-pong further with this [expletive deleted!] Sarcophagus. But this much should be said -

Thanks - Alexandra & Paulo Correa

If we had more time we would love to play ad hominem with epileptic psychotics bred by the Princeton Gnosis. Yes, those who cannot understand what it is they have not created or is even uncreated, as of all eternity. Who foam at the mouth while accusing others of being 'foaming assholes'. Who care so very little about the audience they invade with their e-mails that their writing everywhere declares 'Screw the syntax! Screw understanding!".

Fine, there is nothing here to go on save ad hominems. This statement is therefore not for Sarfatti, or whatever amor fatti it may have been that condemned him to chronic scarlatine.

1. Mass is not just a length in geometrodynamic units - it is also an actual wavelength function in Aetherometry.

2. The exact equivalence of mass and wavelength was first proposed by Reich in 1948, and was quantitatively rediscovered by us over ten years ago. This was published last summer in AS2-01.

3. Scarfatti asks: "Is there anyone else here who defends the above formula?"

Since Kafka taught us that bureaucratic systems are characterized by having the sentencing predate the trial - one could wonder if this is a question by a self-elected tribunal or an attempt at developing science by democratic vote? In either case, it is devoid of interest.

4. Unlike the structure of energy bound to mass - whether kinetic or 'electromagnetic' (eg mass-energy) - the existence of massfree energy directly demonstrates that energy can be measured in a system of units that employs only meters and seconds. The conversion of joules into the aetherometric system of units is given in AS2-02.

5. The fine structure of the electron graviton (AS2-01; AS2-09; AS2-10) shows that one of its wave functions carries the electron mass-equivalent wavelength (provided in AS2-09 and AS2-12), and that this same wave function is constitutive of the electron-resonant aether energy element described by the equation pointed out by FrassCati. And since the electron-graviton is affected to an electron, to its mass, the same mass-equivalent wavelength appears twice in the aetherometric system of units for both the energy of the graviton and that of the aether-resonant unit - hence the square, ô ScarPato! Yes, undoubtedly this has volumetric implications for the structure of Matter and associated gravitational field(s), but this is hardly the place or the time to discuss such matters when the interlocutor is a rabid and ignorant 'cabotin' and the audience de facto knows nothing about what is being discussed - Aetherometry. What fits here, into this sordid cubicle, is Simplicitas, which advises directness:

6. Aetherometry demonstrates that the formula Gm/cˆ2 is not only meaningless as a radial function for the electron gravity, but is off from its real value by three orders of magnitude: its aetherometric value is

81

6.763 x 10^-58 m. Hop all you want, Spartutti. And may your cute little crackpot labels - so lovingly designed by you - provide you some needed comfort in your parodic pontifications.

7. What you call the quantum Compton wavelength of the electron is a radial function of the same, the wavelength being 2 that quantity (since h is barred...). Even if one multiplies Gm/cˆ2 by the square of Avogradro's number, one does not get the Compton wavelength, but a number 100 times greater. Your ramblings are simply nonsensical - and so are the geometrodynamic units based on an arbitrary ratio devoid of any physical sense, such as c = G = 1. To search for solid foundations on an arbitrary equation of invariants is a little despotic mania that has never produced one shred of thought. Only church-building. But this arbitrary is also stupid - if there is any geometry in the cosmos, one can be sure that c, measured in meters per second, and having the value of 2.99*10ˆ8 m secˆ-1, could never be dimensionally equivalent to G, a force constant, measured as 6.6724*10ˆ-11 N mˆ2 Kgˆ-2, whose massfree force equivalent we will shortly unveil. Precisely what has deranged physicists like ScarPetty so much, are these papal dispensations with the logic of physical reality, including dimensional analysis - to the benefit of a Gnosis that even those who invented it cannot understand. Geometrodynamicists deserve all the wormholes they can find to hide in.

So, we ask again:

What is StarPotty doing when he purports to be able to know and perform complex mathematics - such as those involved in Relativity, QM or QCD - when he cannot verify a simple dimensionality AND FALSELY ACCUSES THE CORREAS OF HAVING GOTTEN IT WRONG?

2. Forget about the scientist: what kind of a quadruped freely passes judgments to the right and the to left on something which he has never read, studied or even knows ANYTHING ABOUT?

Since Sarfascio never read even a page of our work, we wish him bon voyage!

Ah yes - we almost forgot - he asks: "What mental institution are they in? What these idiots above are saying ain't the kind of physics I learned from Hans Bethe at Cornell. What academic credentials in physics do they have?"

Here is an answer that fits this Sassfarti:

"Evan and Andrieu defended themselves nonchalantly, arguing that 'after all, false hopes are better than no hope at all'. Their ignorance was too great for them to recognize this argument as a precise and complete disavowal of the spirit of science; as the one which had historically always served to endorse the profitable daydreams of charlatans and magicians, long before such people were put in charge of hospitals."

Or schools, or universities. We will not bother anyone with our credentials. Indeed, when our SalsaFarila affirms what other selenites in charge of the asylum have declared as the sacred truth:

"The mass of the Earth in these same units is only

GM(Earth)/c^2 = 0.4438 cm

Mass of Sun is ~ 1.5 10^5 cm

So the energy mass equivalent in the idiot's formulae is on the astronomical scale about thousand times bigger than the Earth's mass."

82

we can grasp, at last, the complete dementia now in authority, and even get a feel for the measure of their false hopes at guessing the sizes of things:

In the useless units of geometrodynamicists, the mass of the earth, whose length equivalent is 3.6*10ˆ49 m, becomes 0.4438 cm (who would believe that one?), and that of the Sun - well let's not even talk about it. After all c=G...Result: off by 50 orders of magnitude...

Lastly - any reader of Aetherometry will know by now what is the electron-volt equivalent to the formula that Charfatti has focused on - which, by the way, is not to be found in the abstract for AS2-13...

Good Luck.

Paulo Correa MSc, PhDAlexandra Correa, HBA

PS - Incidentally - the meaning of the equation Sarfatti brought up is simple for anyone who can read and calculate: it is the energy of the electron-resonant aether element expressed in massfree aetherometric units of meters cubed times frequency squared, which has exact equivalence to the usual massbound measures of energy in joules or ergs or eV, and the equivalences are provided in our monographs at various points.

7. Sarfatti posts on the Usenet groups sci.physics and sci.skeptic a letter from the same heavenly Sirag, who, continuing to draw enlightment from not having read the Correas' work, and from not having understood anything from the little he has supposedly "read", pronounces that their electroscope experiments were "plagued by moisture problems".

> Just as I suspected (cf. my email to you) the gold-leaf electroscope experiments of the Paulo and Alexandra Correa were plagued by moisture problems. What they discovered was that on dry days the electroscope retained its charge, but on days of high humidity it discharged rather rapidly. Here's what they say in their confusing (and confused) way. In the next-to-last paragraph of:

http://www.aetherometry.com/EAintro_orac.html> they write:>

>> "The antigravitic work performed by the leaf entails the constant bearing upward of the atoms of the leaf. What we experimentally determined is that there are indeed conditions in which the atmosphere is so 'reluctant' to provide 'latent heat' to the charged electroscope, or, even more to the point, so avid for charge and its kinetic energy, that it is impossible to impart any charge whatsoever to the electroscope -- or if one is able to provide an initial charge, the electroscope discharges it in a split second.>>>> In this situation, as we rigorously show, when the electrokinetic energy alone of those charges is computed, the deflection 'should' have lasted longer. So, why does this refusal to charge, or this instant discharge, happen? Typically, it occurs in conditions of VERY HIGH HUMIDITY [emphasis added by S-P S]. What is happening, we find, is that atmospheric water

83

vapor -- avid as it already is for 'latent heat' -- also abstracts the electrokinetic energy and even the charges themselves from the electroscope.>>>> On the other hand, on days of stable, bright, sunny weather, the situation is very different indeed. So different that, at times, leakage or seepage may arrest at midday for hours, leaving the leaf stubbornly deflected at the same angle."

>> BTW: Their main argument with the Reichians is that Reich's orgone energy is essentially latent heat. They may well be on the right track there. But, if so, this could be demonstrated without straying at all from standard physics.>> I still think that it's not worth our time to argue with the Correas.>> All for now.>> Saul-Paul (January 14, 2001)

Yes, I am not longer spending any time on this. You are correct.

One has to wonder why there are people like this Saul-Paul Sirag who willfully and knowingly engage in spreading malicious rumors. It certainly has nothing to do with issues of science. If it did, Sirag would have read carefully the passage he quotes from the Correas, and would have understood how his claims of 'experiments plagued by humidity' are simply stupid. That's right. Stupid. Those who have actually accessed the Correas' AS2-01 Monograph at http://www.aetherometry.com can realize by themselves that what the Correas claim to have discovered with the electroscope - the antigravitic kinetoregenerative phenomenon - IS ONLY APPARENT OR MADE MANIFEST IN SUNNY WEATHER WITH VERY LOW HUMIDITIES, IN THE FORM OF A MEASURABLE ANTIGRAVITATIONAL NONELECTRIC WORK THAT REGULARLY EXCEEDS THE MEASURED AND WELL-KNOWN CLASSICAL ENERGY OF THE ELECTROSTATIC INTERACTION. If what the Correas had found out was what Sirag says it is - that electroscopes discharge more slowly on dry days - then they would have only 'discovered' what everybody already knows. AND, AS IS TYPICAL OF BAD READERS, SIRAG FOCUSES ON THE ABSENCE OF THE PHENOMENON, RATHER THAN ON THE PHENOMENON ITSELF- THAT IS, THE PERTINENT DISCOVERY OF THE CORREAS: HOW SOLAR-ATMOSPHERIC RADIATION REGULARLY INDUCES THE ANTIGRAVITIC REGENERATIVE PHENOMENON IN OUTDOOR ELECTROSCOPES EXPOSED TO MIDDAY RADIATION, INDEPENDENTLY OF THEIR CHARGE POLARITY.

It is a gratuitous and malicious lie to suggest the very opposite - that the Correas' findings with atmospheric electroscopes were 'plagued by humidity' - when they were stringently controlled, as is shown by the data being presented in AS2-02, which neither Sirag nor his 'petty despot' Sarfatti have ever bothered to read. Unlike most studies of the electroscope made en passant, the Correas employed

84

calibrated electroscopes so sensitive that they took up to 12 hours or more to discharge in the experiments of AS2-01, and if the environment was rich in latent heat (as a result of exposure to solar atmospheric radiation or inside ORACs), the same electroscopes might not discharge at all, for periods ranging from 4-6 hours to several days.

So the question arises - WHY DO SIRAG AND SARFATTI CHOOSE TO SPREAD DISINFORMATION?

Well, that's a long story, and the reasons are many. Sirag's mentor has not been happy with the Correas' pointed attack on Relativity, nor with their Experimental Aetherometric discoveries, nor with Dr. Mallove's support of the Correas work, nor with his friendship with them. Then, very recently, the Correas have embarassed Sirag's mentor on his own list, by explaining how all energy can be measured in an equivalent massless system and with massless dimensionality - where mass is treated as a length (in fact, as an exact wavelength confirmed experimentally by the gravitational pendulum) - and how this can be done without falling into the nonsensical propositions of neo-relativist geometrodynamics a la Wheeler, where dimensionality is thrown out the window with the bogus equation of c=G=1. Lastly, perhaps - since this is just a summary - Sirag and others of his ilk are tired physicists. They are Nietzsche's proverbial 'exhausted hens' who have laid too many, smaller and smaller, eggs, and do not know what to do with them. You see, the best thought they are capable of mustering to further develop physics can no longer be differentiated from the scholastic obsession which once aspired to determine how many angels could dance on the head of a pin:

"SIRAG: Yes, and the way we test these theories, actually, is that each dimension actually corresponds, in the old way of thinking about things, actually to a different type of subatomic particle. So that's the way we would test these theories, is to find evidence for the existence of these subatomic particles. But these subatomic particles aren't like little BBs at all. They're very different from that, and so that's why they can really correspond to dimensions of hyperspace. To explain that would take us into maybe too mathematical a direction --

MISHLOVE: Well, we don't want to go into that. Let me throw another question at you. (...) Is there some sense in which inner space, as we experience it, might be describable in the same language that you're referring to -- hyperspace?

SIRAG: Well, that's really what I believe. I believe that from the full hyperspace, however many dimensions that is -- and in some sense it's probably infinite-dimensional -- there are many projections, subprojections you might say, down from an infinite-dimensional space, say, to a 192-dimensional space, to an 96-dimensional space, to a 48-dimensional space, and then down to a twelve-dimensional space, and then down to a four-dimensional space-time. And each of these projections entails different things being left out, so to speak."

Such is the 'hyper-fiber' of this so-called "thought" - the sad inheritance of the Gnosis from Princeton. Having thus turned Physics on its head, they bank on tenures, invent cute logos and n dimensions - and last, but not least, spend their time devising idiotic Java programs which juxtapose their faces with the face of Albert Einstein, fast enough to warrant a hope that their readers will confuse who is which.

There was once a time-honoured tradition amongst scientists and fellow researchers - that you do not speak of that which you know nothing about because you have not read the sources. Today, one rarely finds someone that carefully reads even an abstract. Sirag clearly is no exception.

85

BTW, the Correas do not claim that Reich's orgone energy is 'latent heat'. That is just more bad reading.

Hi Joe,

Sarfatti is very opinionated and vociferously attacks, slanders, maligns, and personally insults, all those who disagree with whatever opinion he may have on a given day. He can be dictatorial and is ruthless in his assaults.

Typically, Sarafatti reverses his initially opposing stance after a few years, when he then announces his "discovery" of exactly the position he was previously denouncing, and then presents the idea as having actually originated from him. He has done this repeatedly. Sarfatti has done this with me on several occasions. This sort of thing has been going on since 1995 between Sarfatti and myself. He has also gone through the same process with many other people, such as R.M. Keihn, Tony Smith, S. Hammeroff, and etc.

Sarfatti is not what you would call a "nice guy". His psychological makeup appears to have some pathologies. Also, his negativity, aggression, and his tendency to become personally insulting are contagious. Thus I have labeled such contagions as "Sarfatti's Disease".

Why is it relevant?

Who needs to be insulted and maligned by someone, just because one do not happen to agree with their views on a particular topic?

Best Wishes,

Neil
