Looking Ahead to 2009

Saturday January 3, 2009
In science, trying to look ahead with any precision is always difficult. Scientists may have some expectations about what they could find, but who knows if those expectations are at all realistic. Scientists cannot determine what the year ahead will bring, they can only decide where they're going to be looking for new information.

Fortunately, I can look ahead to 2009 at the website and have a fairly good idea of what will get posted, because I decide the content that I write about on the site. As I plan out the areas to develop over the coming year, I'd like to have some input from you, our readers, about what you'd most like to see!

So leave a comment on this blog and let me know what Physics topics you would like to see blogged about in the upcoming year. I can't guarantee that I'll get to every one of them, but I can guarantee that I'll add all of the valid ones to my list.

NOTE: Saying that you want to see your brand new theory that replaces string theory, but no one will listen to you, is not a valid topic that will get added to my list.

This retired 84 yesrs young retired Physicist and Systems Engineer gently reminds you that Richard Feynman declared Physics “a mess”, and Roger Penrose has made it quite clear that there is yet no satisfactory theory of matter. I do not see any real world expertise able to fairly make the judgement you make in excluduing material from your blog. But you are most welcome to do it and you can find good exmaple material to exclude at my website. I have a blog too but discovered its kid’s stuff personified.You are always welcome to email me whatever the subject and refer those like me to me —if they seem to be my kind if crackpot.

I have recently watched a film of Dr. Edgar Mitchell’s lecture on the Quantum Hologram theory which claims that all matter absorbs and re-emits energy and the energy that is emitted is a cohesive frequency which can be interpreted by the brain through a sympathetic resonance in microtubules. These waves are also distributive, meaning that any piece has all the historic information of the whole. This would seem to validate remote viewing using quantum non-locality by matching the emitted resonance with an object from a location in order for the brain to see that location. My question is, first of all, are you familiar with this theory and secondly, do you believe it has merit? Thank you.

I have heared about cold fusion is that real, and I want to know more about it.
