WHAT CAN BE OBTAINED FROM THE SUBSTANTIAL CONCEPTION OF TIME ? L. S. Shikhobalov

In memory of Nikolay Alexandrovich Kozyrev

who saw in time the vital basis of the Universe

...

Time is one of the most fundamental ideas of physics. It, or, more precisely, the

variable describing it (usually denoted by the letter t after the word “time”), enters into the

equations of motion of Newton’s classical mechanics, Schrödinger equation of quantum

mechanics, the equations describing system evolution in thermodynamics and statistical

physics and many other equations of practically all divisions of physics. Besides, time remains

one of the greatest mysteries of nature. Such questions of principle as: “What is the

stream of time?”, “Does the direction of time exist or not?” and a number of others have

not yet been solved conclusively and rigorously.

Modern scientific world outlook knows two essentially different conceptions of

time, the relational one and the substantial one (Chernin 1987; Molchanov 1977, 1990;

Space... 1983). According to the first one, there exists no time “per se” in nature and time

is no more than a relation (or a set of relations) between physical events. In other words,

time is a specific manifestation of the properties of physical bodies and changes occurring

in them. The second conception, the substantial one, assumes, vice versa, that time is an

independent phenomenon of nature, a specific kind of substance, coexisting with space,

matter and physical fields. The relational conception of time is conventionally associated

with the names of Aristotle, G.W.Leibnitz and A.Einstein. The most ardent adherents of

the substantial conception of time are Democritus, I.Newton and N.A.Kozyrev.

Nowadays physics is based exclusively on the relational conception of time. This

manifests itself in the fact that only matter and physical fields are regarded in all physical

theories as material objects, without any time substance of a “specific kind” involved. With

such an approach it is impossible to determine purely logically, whether a time substance

exists or not in reality, since it is impossible to prove the presence or absence of something

which is not defined.

The aim of the present paper is to formulate the fundamentals of a physical theory

based on the alternative, substantial conception of time. N.A.Kozyrev’s ideas about an active

role of time in the phenomena of our World (Kozyrev 1991) impelled the author to do

this work.

...

All physical events occurring in nature are ordered in a certain way. This is apparent

from the fact that space and time localizations of events obey a strictly fixed law: they

form a manifold possessing completely determined properties. It is usually called the

space-time manifold or simply space-time. Within the problems solved by special relativity

one may consider this manifold to possess the geometry of Minkowski space. Let us recall

the corresponding definition.

The four-dimensional real pseudo-Euclidean space of signature (1, 3) is called

Minkowski space. (Sometimes the signature (3, 1) is used.) Like any Euclidean space,

Minkowski space comprises three elements: a basis set, a vector space with scalar multiplication

of vectors, called the associated space to the Minkowski one, and a mapping assigning

a vector of the associated space to each ordered pair of points from the basis set.

With regard for such a construction Minkowski space is sometimes called a point-vector

space. The vectors of the associated space and the points of the basis set are conventionally

called vectors and points of Minkowski space itself, while the metric form defined on

the direct product of the associated space with itself, is called the metric form of Minkowski

space.

In special relativity it is conventional to denote by the term “Minkowski space” just

the manifold formed by space-time locations of physical events, i.e. the space-time. The

points of this manifold are called world points or events. (The latter reflects the fact that a

“physical event” is understood here in an idealized sense, namely, as a position of a point

object at a given place of space at a given time instant.)

It should be emphasized that in special relativity Minkowski space formed by

points-events is treated as a physical reality but not just as a mathematical abstraction. It is

of importance that Minkowski space is a unified manifold, unseparated into space and

time, in which it fundamentally differs from our intuitive image of the Universe. The fact

that we perceive time and space separately is related apparently to the specific character of

our organs of sense (to which we adjust our physical instruments), lying in our ability to

perceive only those characteristics of physical systems which correspond not to Minkowski

space vectors themselves but separately to their spatial and temporal components. Note

that the components of the same vector, calculated in different frames of reference, may

take different values. It is due to this fact that the spatial size of a body or the time interval

between two events may take different values being measured in different frames of reference,

which is a well-known effect of relativity.

The substantial conception of time, underlying the subsequent constructions, has a

long history. Along with the substantial conception of space, it dates back to Democritus’

ideas ascribing a special kind of being a empty space. This conception has been most fully

embodied in the Newtonian notion of absolute time. According to I.Newton, absolute time

and absolute space are self-sufficient entities, independent both of each other and of material

objects contained and processes occurring in them. It could be said that the Newtonian

ideas of time have completed the formation stage of the substantial conception of time.

The further important step in the development of the substantial conception of time

was made by N.A.Kozyrev (Kozyrev 1991). In his book “Causal or asymmetric mechanics

in linear approximation”, published in 1958, N.A.Kozyrev formulated a number of axioms

endowing time with properties in addition to duration, due to which time interacts with

different physical objects and processes. He called these properties of time physical or active.

...

To clarify the difference between Newton’s absolute time, independent of anything at all, and Kozyrev’s

changeable time interacting with the objects of nature, the following example could be given. In

mechanics, while describing solids, the notions of perfectly rigid and deformable bodies are used. Postulating

that a solid is a perfectly rigid body, we restrict its kinematical properties to the capability of moving

as a whole. Abandoning the idea of perfect rigidity and assuming that the body may be deformed, we obtain

an object with a variety of kinematic properties. Such a body can both move as a whole and be deformed

reversibly or irreversibly. It can contain fixed or moving internal sources of stress, various waves

propagating, etc. Similarly, N.A.Kozyrev’s abandoning the idea of absolute time and endowing time with

properties besides duration can far enrich this notion, one of the most fundamental in physics.

Unfortunately, N.A.Kozyrev did not provide a rigorous mathematical formulation

of the notion of time substance in his papers. It should be noted that he did not use the

term “substance” with respect to time at all and spoke less certainly about time as a

“phenomenon of nature” which through its “active properties” may affect the course of

events. The absence of a clear definition of time substance is a feature of other publications

dedicated to the substantial concept of time as well. Besides, these publications neglect the

fundamental difference between the time substance and any other physical field and matter.

Namely, the time substance, if it exists, is necessarily an object of the fourth dimension,

orthogonal to the three-dimensional space embracing matter and fields. Just this conclusion

concerning the properties of the time substance undoubtedly follows from relativity.

Allowing for the aforesaid, we shall construct the theory on the basis of the following

approach. Let us combine the substantial conception of time and the fundamental

premise of modern physics that space and time form a single manifold. For simplicity we

restrict ourselves to the case studied by special relativity when the above manifold is the

four-dimensional real pseudo-Euclidean space of signature (1, 3), i.e., Minkowski space

(see Section 2). Thus we adopt the following postulate.

Postulate I. Space and time form a unified four-dimensional substance; it is

endowed with Minkowski space geometry and possesses certain physical properties due to

which it interacts with matter, physical fields and processes occurring in it.

We call the postulated object space-time substance and denote it by S.

In this paper we shall not specify the physical properties of the substance S but just discuss the

consequences following from this postulate and a few postulates formulated later.

Since physics is a science of three-dimensional bodies, it is reasonable to introduce

a notion unifying all the three-dimensional material objects, i.e. matter and physical fields.

This unification is conventionally called physical space. For short, we shall call it our

World.

Matter and physical fields as structures of the space-time substance

The substantial model of space-time under consideration admits different versions

of relations between our World (i.e., matter and physical fields) and the time substance S.

By one of the versions, our World and the substance S are mutually independent

physical realities. At first sight such an approach appears to be plausible; however, it is unsatisfactory

because it leaves unresolved the problem of metric transfer from the substance

S to the matter and fields. The situation is further aggravated by the fact that if the matter

and the fields are independent of the substance S, it is admissible to consider a limiting

case when there is no substance S at all. What happens in such a case? Are the matter and

the fields left without a metric, or, maybe, they possess a specific metric of their own,

which, according to the contents of Section 10, can be uncoordinated in different spacetime

points? No apparent answer to these questions is seen. Meanwhile, as shown by practice,

if the foundations of a theory leave unanswered any questions of this kind, concerning

the most fundamental features of the phenomena to be described, there is little hope that

such theory would answer them after a deep elaboration.

However, another version of the relations between the World and the time substance

is possible. We will take this version as a basis. It is established by the following

postulate.

Postulate IV. The matter and all the physical fields which form our World are

not independent physical entities but are specific structures of the space-time substance.

Our World as a whole is a solitary wave (like a soliton) propagating in the space-time

substance.

The adoption of this postulate is justified by a primary nature of the notions of

space and time as compared with those of matter and field; this nature manifests itself in

the fact that the former can, at least in principle, exist without the latter, while the reverse

is not true. Indeed, the idea of Minkowski space, unfilled with matter or fields, is quite

meaningful as long as it can be given a rigorous mathematical description; unlike that, the

idea of a material body having no spatial characteristics, in particular, occupying no (even

zero) spatial volume, as well as the idea of a material process having no temporal characteristics,

are deprived of any physical content.

This subordinate type of relation may be exemplified by the relation between a crystal and crystal

lattice defects contained in it, such as vacancies, dislocations and others. The example of dislocations is

the closest to our topic. For this defect, being an elementary carrier of a crystal’s plastic deformation, an

equation of motion has been derived, the notion of mass has been introduced, forces acting on it due to

other defects have been calculated, etc. All that shows that a dislocation behaves in the corresponding theory

as an independent material object (Hirth and Lothe 1967; Shikhobalov 1978, 1982, 1990, etc.) However,

actually a dislocation is not an individual material body. One cannot take it away from a crystal and

study separately by a microscope. It is just a specific state of the crystal itself, a specific structure in it, so

that a dislocation cannot exist without a crystal. Just this subordination relation between objects, such that

one of them is only a structure of the other, although it behaves in some respects as an independent material

body, is the one adopted for the model being described.

If the time substance S is endowed with pseudo-Euclidean geometry, the wave of

our World, mentioned in Postulate IV, is, in general, different in different coordinate systems

(although its propagation directions are coordinated, see Section 2). If, on the contrary,

it is endowed with proper Euclidean geometry, then the wave of our World is unique

for all the coordinate frames. Note that in both these cases the wave of our World has a

flat shape. If the model is extended to the case studied by general relativity, the substance

S should possess the geometry of a pseudo-Riemannian space. Thereby, due to specific

effects predicted by this theory, both the substance S and our World wave will be appreciably

curved near structures of high energy.

The effect of matter and fields on the time substance geometry can be illustrated on the example

of disclinations, crystal lattice defects related to dislocations. A crystal lattice in a defect-free state has flat

atomic layers, while a disclination created in it causes a deformation described by a nonzero flexuretorsion

tensor (de Wit 1970, 1973a,b,c). In a certain meaning, there is a similar situation with the substance

S. Having the geometry of flat Euclidean space if the matter and fields are absent, it acquires the

geometry of a curved Riemannian space when these are present, so that the curvature value near a certain

structure is the greater, the higher the energy (mass) of that structure. However, as the structures commonly

dealt with cause very small curvatures of the substance, these curvatures can be neglected in the

first approximation.

Thus by Postulate IV the matter and fields are certain structures of the time substance

(like condensations, vortices, dislocations, etc.). In such a version of the relations

between the World and the time substance the problem of metric transfer from the substance

to the matter and fields, posed in Section 10, is resolved at once. As mat ter and

fields are specific states of the substance it self, no special met r ic t ransfer

is required since these objects have a common met r ic with the subst

ance from the out set .

It is easily verified that Postulate IV leaves unchanged all the constructions of the

previous sections.

Apparently just one of the propositions of the previous sections could cause doubt as regards the

possibility of its extension to the case considered. It concerns the use of inversions and rotations which

transform the World M and the time substance S s epa r a t ely fr om each other. (Such transformations

were used when the model symmetry was analysed.) The plausibility of using these transformations can be

easily illustrated again on the example of dislocations in a crystal. The fact that a dislocation is a structure

over a crystal lattice, as it is well known, does not exclude the possibility of different positions of a dislocation

with respect to the lattice. Similarly, in the case of the World M the fact that it is a structure of the

time substance is not by itself an obstacle for realizing its different positions with respect to the substance

S. Therefore in the present version of the model it is admissible to use the inversions WM and WS and the

rotations YM, YS, FM and FS which transform the World M and the substance S independently of each

other. Therefore all the conclusions of Sections 8 and 9 concerning the model symmetry, remain valid for

the model version incorporating Postulate IV as well.

We would like to restrict the discussion of the present version of the model to a

few brief comments.

Evidently, the idea of a time substance satisfying Postulate IV, is in some respects

close to the quantum-field-theoretical concept of physical vacuum from which particles of

matter are created. Meanwhile, our model is free of a certain ambiguity inherent in the

physical vacuum concept. The latter consists in the fact that the term “vacuum” in its very

sense denotes emptiness, i.e., absence of anything at all, and at the same time in quantum

field theory vacuum is endowed with certain physical properties, i.e., is actually treated as

a material object. Such an ambiguity certainly cannot favour further development of the

theory.

The suggested model version observes the famous Occam principle (Okun’ 1988,

p.187) claiming that essences should not be multiplied without necessity. Here, instead of

numerous sorts of matter and physical fields there is only one essence, the time substance,

while all the rest is just its structures.

The fact that modern physical theories are successful in describing the properties of

matter and fields without addressing to a time substance forming them, does not mean that

such a substance is absent. Recall that lately in the 19th century it was also believed

(Physicists Joke 1966, p.32) that the then available physical theories were quite sufficient

for describing the properties of matter, although nothing was known about the elementary

particles forming it. By the way, modern physics is successful in doing without the notions

of life, man, consciousness (such notions are just absent in either “Physical Encyclopaedic

Dictionary”, or in subject indices to the ten volumes of “Theoretical Physics” by

L.D.Landau and Ye.M.Lifshitz), which nevertheless does not mean that those phenomena

do not exist.

A difference between the presently introduced time substance and the known ether

models is as follows. The time substance S is four-dimensional, while ether is threedimensional.

The substance S flows across our World normally to it, while ether is at rest

with respect to the World as a whole (in this connection it is often considered as an absolute

frame of reference). The substance S possesses pseudo-Euclidean geometry and

therefore satisfies all the statements of special relativity while ether is commonly endowed

with proper Euclidean geometry, leading it to contradictions with relativity.

That the time substance has not yet been discovered by experiment, can be explained

by the fact that the physical instruments available and our organs of sense are able

to interact only with matter and fields but not directly with the time substance forming

them.

Here again it is pertinent to draw a parallel with a crystal containing a dislocation. As known

(Hirth and Lothe 1967), in an infinite crystal a rectilinear dislocation at rest is not subject to forces from

the crystal lattice. Only as a dislocation moves, the crystal lattice exerts an influence on it, hindering its

motion (the so-called Peierls resistance). However, even this influence is small as compared with the hindering

action of other defects in many crystals. Therefore it could be said that a dislocation does not “feel”

the surrounding crystal; in other words, “from the viewpoint” of a dislocation no crystal exists at all, there

is only itself and other defects of the same kind. In exactly similar fashion our sensual and instrumental

feelings might deceive us saying that there is no time substance, although maybe it is the one we are consisting

of.

Thus the suggested substantial model of space-time in its version incorporating

Postulate IV, easily resolves the question of why the metric is coordinated in different

space-time points, the question having no answer in modern physical theories. This version

of the model reduces the properties of all the physical objects of our World to those of the

time substance. A further development of the model should consist in concretizing physical

properties of the substance which would satisfy Postulates I - IV.

Conclusion

Space-time as a four-dimensional substance and the three-dimensional World moving

through it are the basic features of the suggested model. It gives a clear meaning to the

notions of time flow and time direction and easily proves a proposition on the World symmetry

similar to the CPT theorem of quantum field theory, while the method of specifying

space-time coordinates is brought into correspondence with that adopted in mechanics. It

is shown that the observed mirror asymmetry of the World, along with its asymmetry with

respect to particles and antiparticles, can be consequences of the action on the World exerted

by the space-time substance. A version of the model has been suggested in which our

World is a specific structure of the space-time substance. It has been possible to obtain all

these results without knowing the physical properties of the substance. Their specification

is a subject of further investigations.

Summary Paragraph

Current PlanetoPhysical alterations of the Earth are becoming irreversible. Strong evidence

exists that these transformations are being caused by highly charged material and energetic nonuniformity's

in anisotropic interstellar space which have broken into the interplanetary area of

our Solar System. This "donation" of energy is producing hybrid processes and excited energy states

in all planets, as well as the Sun. Effects here on Earth are to be found in the acceleration of

the magnetic pole shift, in the vertical and horizontal ozone content distribution, and in the increased

frequency and magnitude of significant catastrophic climatic events. There is growing

probability that we are moving into a rapid temperature instability period similar to the one that

took place 10,000 years ago. The adaptive responses of the biosphere, and humanity, to these

new conditions may lead to a total global revision of the range of species and life on Earth. It is

only through a deep understanding of the fundamental changes taking place in the natural environment

surrounding us that politicians, and citizens a like, will be able to achieve balance with

the renewing flow of PlanetoPhysical states and processes.

INTRODUCTION

Current, in process, geological, geophysical, and climatical alterations of the Earth are becoming

more, and more, irreversible. At the present time researchers are revealing some of the

causes which are leading to a general reorganization of the electro-magnetosphere (the electromagnetic

skeleton) of our planet, and of its climatic machinery. A greater number of specialists

in climatology, geophysics, planetophysics, and heliophysics are tending towards a cosmic

causative sequence version for what is happening. Indeed, events of the last decade give strong

evidence of unusually significant heliospheric and planetophysic transformations [1,2]. Given the

quality, quantity, and scale of these transformations we may say that:

The climatic and biosphere processes here on Earth (through a tightly connected feedback system)

are directly impacted by, and linked back to, the general overall transformational processes

taking place in our Solar System. We must begin to organize our attention and thinking to

understand that climatic changes on Earth are only one part, or link, in a whole chain of events

taking place in our Heliosphere.

Page 1 of 17

These deep physical processes, these new qualities of our physical and geological environment,

will impose special adaptive challenges and requirements for all life forms on Earth. Considering

the problems of adaptation our biosphere will have with these new physical conditions on Earth,

we need to distinguish the general tendency and nature of the changes. As we will show below,

these tendencies may be traced in the direction of planet energy capacity growth (capacitance),

which is leading to a highly excited or charged state of some of Earth's systems.The most

intense transformations are taking place in the planetary gas-plasma envelopes to which the

productive possibilities of our biosphere are timed. Currently this new scenario of excess energy

run-off is being formed, and observed:

In the ionosphere by plasma generation.

In the magnetosphere by magnetic storms.

In the atmosphere by cyclones.

This high-energy atmospheric phenomena, which was rare in the past, is now becoming more

frequent, intense, and changed in its nature. The material composition of the gas-plasma envelope

is also being transformed.

It is quite natural for the whole biota of the Earth to be subjected to these changing conditions

of the electromagnetic field, and to the significant deep alterations of Earth's climatic machinery.

These fundamental processes of change create a demand within all of Earth's life organisms

for new forms of adaptation. The natural development of these new forms may lead to a total

global revision of the range of species, and life, on Earth . New deeper qualities of life itself

may come forth, bringing the new physical state of the Earth to an equilibrium with the new organismic

possibilities of development, reproduction, and perfection. In this sense it is evident

that we are faced with a problem of the adaptation of humanity to this new state of the Earth;

new conditions on Earth whose biospheric qualities are varying, and non-uniformly distributed.

Therefore the current period of transformation is transient, and the transition of life's representatives

to the future may take place only after a deep evaluation of what it will take to comply

with these new Earthly biospheric conditions. Each living representative on Earth will be getting

a thorough "examination," or "quality control inspection," to determine it's ability to comply with

these new conditions.These evolutionary challenges always require effort, or endurance, be it

individual organisms, species, or communities. Therefore, it is not only the climate that is becoming

new, but we as human beings are experiencing a global change in the vital processes of

living organisms, or life itself; which is yet another link in the total process. We cannot treat

such things separately, or individually.

1.0 TRANSFORMATION OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM

We will list the recent large-scale events in the Solar System in order to fully understand, and

comprehend, the PlanetoPhysical transformations taking place. This development of events, as it

has become clear in the last few years, is being caused by material and energetic non-uniformity's

in anisotropic interstellar space[2,3,4]. In its travel through interstellar space, the Heliosphere

travels in the direction of the Solar Apex in the Hercules Constellation. On its way it

has met (1960's) non-homogeneities of matter and energy containing ions of Hydrogen, Helium,

and Hydroxyl in addition to other elements and combinations. This kind of interstellar space dispersed

plasma is presented by magnetized strip structures and striations. The Heliosphere [solar

system] transition through this structure has led to an increase of the shock wave in front of the

Solar System from 3 to 4 AU, to 40 AU, or more. This shock wave thickening has caused the formation

of a collusive plasma in a parietal layer, which has led to a plasma overdraft around the

Solar System, and then to its breakthrough into interplanetary domains [5,6]. This breakthrough

constitutes a kind of matter and energy donation made by interplanetary space to our Solar System.

Page 2 of 17

In response to this "donation of energy/matter," we have observed a number of large scale

events:

A series of large PlanetoPhysical transformations.

A change in the quality of interplanetary space in the direction of an increase in its interplanetary,

and solar-planetary transmitting properties.

The appearance of new states, and activity regimes, of the Sun.

1.1 A Series of Large PlanetoPhysical Transformations.

The following processes are taking place on the distant planets of our Solar System. But they

are, essentially speaking, operationally driving the whole System.

Here are examples of these events:

1.1.1 A growth of dark spots on Pluto [7].

1.1.2 Reporting of auroras on Saturn [8].

1.1.3 Reporting of Uranus and Neptune polar shifts (They are magnetically conjugate planets),

and the abrupt large-scale growth of Uranus' magnetosphere intensity.

1.1.4 A change in light intensity and light spot dynamics on Neptune [9,10].

1.1.5 The doubling of the magnetic field intensity on Jupiter (based upon 1992 data), and a series

of new states and processes observed on this planet as an aftermath of a series of explosions

in July 1994 [caused by "Comet" SL-9] [12]. That is, a relaxation of a plasmoid train [13,14]

which excited the Jovian magnetosphere, thus inducing excessive plasma generation [12] and it's

release in the same manner as Solar coronal holes [15] inducing an appearance of radiation belt

brightening in decimeter band (13.2 and 36 cm), and the appearance of large auroral anomalies

and a change of the Jupiter - Io system of currents [12, 14].

Update Note From A.N.D Nov. 1997:

A stream of ionized hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, etc. is being directed to Jupiter from the volcanic

areas of Io through a one million amperes flux tube. It is affecting the character of Jupiter's

magnetic process and intensifying it's plasma genesis.{Z.I.Vselennaya "Earth and Universe" N3,

1997 plo-9 by NASA data}

1.1.6 A series of Martian atmosphere transformations increasing its biosphere quality. In particularly,

a cloudy growth in the equator area and an unusual growth of ozone concentration[16].

Update Note: In September 1997 the Mars Surveyor Satellite encountered an atmospheric density

double that projected by NASA upon entering a Mars orbit. This greater density bent one of the

solar array arms beyond the full and open stop. This combination of events has delayed the beginning

of the scheduled photo mission for one year.

1.1.7 A first stage atmosphere generation on the Moon, where a growing natrium atmosphere is

detected that reaches 9,000 km in height. [17].

1.1.8 Significant physical, chemical and optical changes observed on Venus; an inversion of dark

and light spots detected for the first time, and a sharp decrease of sulfur-containing gases in its

atmosphere [16].

1. 2 A Change in the Quality of Interplanetary Space Towards an Increase in Its Interplanetary

and Solar-Planetary Transmitting Properties.

When speaking of new energetic and material qualities of interplanetary space, we must first

point out the increase of the interplanetary domains energetic charge, and level of material saturation.

This change of the typical mean state of interplanetary space has two main causes:

1.2.1 The supply/inflow of matter from interstellar space. (Radiation material, ionized elements,

and combinations.) [19,20,21].

1.2.2 The after effects of Solar Cycle 22 activity, especially as a result of fast coronal mass ejection's

[CME's] of magnetized solar plasmas. [22].

It is natural for both interstellar matter and intra-heliospheric mass redistribution's to create

new structural units and processes in the interplanetary domains. They are mostly observed in

the structured formation of extended systems of magnetic plasma clouds [23], and an increased

frequency of the generation of shock waves; and their resulting effects [24].

A report already exists of two new populations of cosmic particles that were not expected to be

found in the Van Allen radiation belts [25]; particularly an injection of a greater than 50 MeV

dense electron sheaf into the inner magnetosphere during times of abrupt magnetic storms

[CME's], and the emergence of a new belt consisting of ionic elements traditionally found in the

composition of stars. This newly changed quality of interplanetary space not only performs the

function of a planetary interaction transmission mechanism, but it (this is most important)

exerts stimulating and programming action upon the Solar activity both in it's maximal and minimal

phases.The seismic effectiveness of the solar wind is also being observed [26,27].

1.3 The Appearance of New States and Activity Regimes of the Sun.

As far as the stellarphysical state of the Sun is concerned, we must first note the fact that significant

modifications have occurred in the existing behavioral model of the central object of our

solar system. This conclusion comes from observations and reportings of unusual forms, energetic

powers, and activities in the Sun's functions [20,21], as well as modifications in it's basic fundamental

properties [28]. Since the end of the Maunder minimum, a progressive growth of the

Sun's general activity has been observed. This growth first revealed itself most definitely in the

22nd cycle; which posed a real problem for heliophysicists who were attempting to revise their

main explanatory scenarios:

1.3.1 Concerning the velocity of reaching super-flash maximums.

1.3.2 Concerning the emissive power of separate flashes.

1.3.3 Concerning the energy of solar cosmic rays, etc.

Moreover, the Ulysses spacecraft, traversing high heliospheric latitudes, recorded the absence of

the magnetic dipole, which drastically changed the general model of heliomagnetism, and further

complicated the magnetologist's analytic presentations. The most important heliospheric

role of coronal holes has now become clear; to regulate the magnetic saturation of interplanetary

space. [28,30]. Additionally, they generate all large geomagnetic storms, and ejection's with a

southerly directed magnetic field are geo-effective [22]. There is also existing substantiation

favoring the solar winds effects upon Earth's atmospheric zone circulation, and lithospheric dynamics

[31].

The 23rd cycle was initiated by a short series of sunspots in August 1995 [32], which allows us to

predict the solar activity maximum in 1999. What is also remarkable, is that a series of class C

Page 4 of 17

flares has already happened in July 1996 . The specificity and energy of this cycle was discussed

at the end of the 1980's. [23]. The increased frequency of X-Ray flux flares which occurred in the

very beginning of this cycle provided evidence of the large-scale events to come; especially in

relation to an increase in the frequency of super-flashes. The situation has become extremely

serious due to the growth in the transmitting qualities of the interplanetary environment [2 3,

24] and the growth of Jupiter's systems heliospheric function; with Jupiter having the possibility

of being shrouded by a plasmosphere extending over Io's orbit [13].

As a whole, all of the reporting and observation facilities give evidence to a growth in the velocity,

quality, quantity, and energetic power of our Solar System's Heliospheric processes.

Update Note 1/8/98: The unexpected high level of Sun activity in the later half of 1997, that is

continuing into present time, provides strong substantiation of the above statement. There were

three "X" level Goes 9 X-Ray Flux events in 1997 where one was forecasted; a 300% increase. The

most dramatic of these, a X-9.1 coronal mass ejection on November 6, 1997, produced a proton

event here on Earth of approximately 72 hours in duration. The character, scale, and magnitude

of current Sun activity has increased to the point that one official government Sun satellite reporting

station recently began their daily report by saying, "Everything pretty much blew apart

on the Sun today, Jan. 3,1998."

2.0 THE EARTH REORGANIZATION PROCESSES

The recorded and documented observations of all geophysical (planetary environmental) processes,

and the clearly significant and progressive modifications in all reported solar-terrestrial

physical science relationships, combined with the integral effects of the antropohenedus activity

in our Solar System's Heliosphere, [33,34], causes us to conclude that a global reorganization and

transformation of the Earth's physical and environmental qualities is taking place now; before

our very eyes. This current rearrangement constitutes one more in a long line of cosmo-historic

events of significant Solar System evolutionary transformations which are caused by the periodic

modification, and amplification, of the Heliospheric-Planetary-Sun processes. In the case of our

own planet these new events have placed an intense pressure on the geophysical environment;

causing new qualities to be observed in the natural processes here on Earth; causes and effects

which have already produced hybrid processes throughout the planets of our Solar System; where

the combining of effects on natural matter and energy characteristics have been observed

and reported.

We shall now discuss global, regional, and local processes.

2.1 The Geomagnetic Field Inversion.

Keeping clearly in mind the known significant role of the magnetic field on human life, and all

biological processes, we will outline the general features of this changing state of the Earth's

geomagnetic field. We have to remind ourselves of the many spacecraft and satellites that have

registered the growth of heliospheric magnetic saturation in recent years [11,18,35]. The natural

response of the Earth to this increased saturation level reveals itself in its dipole intensity, its

magnet "c" poles localization, and in its electromagnetic field resonance processes[36]. Earth is

number one among all of the planets in the Solar System with respect to its specific ability regarding

the magnetization of matter [6].

In recent years we have seen a growth of interest by geophysicists and magnetologists, in general,

to geomagnetic processes [37-40], and specifically, to the travel of Earth's magnetic poles

[41,42]. They are particularly interested in observing the facts surrounding the directed, or vectored,

travel of the Antarctic magnetic pole. In the last 100 years this magnetic pole has traveled

almost 900 km towards, and into, the Indian ocean. This significant shift by the magnetic poles

began in 1885. The most recent data about the state of the Arctic magnetic pole (which is

moving towards the Eastern Siberian world magnetic anomaly by way of the Arctic Ocean) reveals

that this pole "traveled" more than 120 km during the ten year period 1973 through 1984,

Page 5 of 17

and 150 km during the same interval, 1984 through 1994. This estimated data has been confirmed

by direct measurement ( L. Newwitt. The Arctic pole coordinates are now 78.3 deg. North

and 104.0 deg. West) [42].

We must emphasize that this documented polar shift acceleration (3 km per year average over

10 years), and its travel along the geo-historic magnetic poles inversion corridor (the corridor

having been established by the analysis of more than 400 paleoinversion sites) necessarily leads

us to the conclusion that the currently observed polar travel acceleration is not just a shift or

digression from the norm, but is in fact an inversion of the magnetic poles; in full process.It is

now seen that the acceleration of polar travel may grow to a rate of up to 200 km per year. This

means that a polar inversion may happen far more rapidly than is currently supposed by those

investigators without a familiarity with the overall polar shift problem.

We must also emphasize the significant growth of the recognized world magnetic anomalies (Canadian,

East-Siberian, Brazilian, and Antarctic) in the Earth's magnetic reorganization. Their significance

is due to the fact that these world anomalies constitute a magnetic source that is almost

independent from Earth's main magnetic field. Most of the time, the intensity of these

world magnetic anomalies substantially exceeds all of the residual non-dipole component; which

is obtained by the subtraction of the dipole component from the total magnetic field of the

Earth.[48]. It is the inversion of the magnetic fields process which is causing the various transformations

of Earth's geophysical processes and the present state of the polar magnetosphere.

We also have to take into account the factual growth of the polar cusp's angle (i.e. The polar

slots in the magnetosphere; North and South), which in the middle 1990's reached 45 degrees (by

IZMIRAN data). [Note: The cusp angle was about 6 degrees most of the time. It fluctuates depending

upon the situation. During the last five years, however, it has varied between 25 and 46

degrees.] The increasing and immense amounts of matter and energy radiating from the Sun's

Solar Wind, and Interplanetary Space, by means previously discussed, has began to rush into these

widened slots in the polar regions causing the Earth's crust, the oceans, and the polar ice caps

to warm[27].

Our study of geomagnetic field paleoinversions, and their after effects, has lead us to the unambiguous,

and straight forth, conclusion that these present processes being observed are following

precisely the same scenarios as those of their distant ancestors. And additional signs of the inversion

of the magnetic field are becoming more intense in frequency and scale. For example:

During the previous 25 million years, the frequency of magnetic inversions was twice in half a

million years while the frequency of inversions for the last 1 million years is 8 to 14 inversions

[43], or one inversion each 71 to 125 thousand years. What is essential here is that during prior

periods of maximum frequency of inversions there has also been a corresponding decrease in the

level of oceans world-wide (10 to 150 meters) from contraction caused by the wide development

of crustal folding processes. Periods of lessor frequency of geomagnetic field inversions reveals

sharp increases of the world ocean level due to the priority of expansion and stretching processes

in the crust. [43-44]. Therefore, the level of World's oceans depends on the global characteristic

of the contraction and expansion processes in force at the time.

The current geomagnetic inversion frequency growth phase may not lead to an increase in oceanic

volume from polar warming, but rather to a decrease in ocean levels. Frequent inversions

mean stretching and expansion, rare inversions mean contraction. Planetary processes, as a rule,

occur in complex and dynamic ways which require the combining and joining of all forces and

fields in order to adequately understand the entire system. In addition to the consideration of

hydrospheric redistribution, there are developing events which also indicate a sudden and sharp

breaking of the Earth's meteorological machinery.

2.2 Climate Transformations.

Since public attention is so closely focused on the symptoms of major alterations, or

breakdowns, in the climatic machinery, and the resulting and sometimes severe biospheric ef-

Page 6 of 17

fects, we shall consider these climatic transformations in detail. Thus, while not claiming to

characterize the climatic and biospheric transition period completely, we will provide a recent

series of brief communications regarding the temperature, hydrological cycle, and the material

composition of the Earth's atmosphere.

The temperature regime of any given phase of climatic reorganization is characterized by contrasts,

and instabilities. The widely quoted, and believed, "Greenhouse Effect" scenario for total

climatic changes is by far the weakest explanation, or link, in accounting for this

reorganization.It has already been observed that the growth in the concentration of CO2 has

stopped, and that the methane content in the atmosphere has began to decrease [45] while the

temperature imbalance, and the common global pressure field dissolution has proceeded to

grow.

There were reports of a global temperature maximum in 1994, and the almost uninterrupted

existence of an "El-Nino" like hydrological effect. Satellite air surface layer temperature tracking

[49,50] allowed the detection of a 0.22 degrees C global temperature variation (within a typical

specific time period of about 30 days) that correlated with recorded middle frequency magnetic

oscillations. The Earth's temperature regime is becoming more, and more, dependent on external

influences. The representative regulating processes, or basis, of these general climatic rearrangements

are:

2.2.1. A new ozone layer distribution.

2.2.2. Radiation material (plasma) inflows and discharges through the polar regions, and through

the world's magnetic anomaly locations.

2.2.3. Growth of the direct ionospheric effects on the relationship between the Earth's meteorological

(weather), magnetic, and temperature fields.

There is a growing probability that we are moving into a rapid temperature instability period similar

to the one that took place 10,000 years ago. This not so ancient major instability was revealed

by the analysis of ice drilling core samples in Greenland [51]. The analysis of these core

samples established:

2.2.4.That annual temperatures increased by 7 degrees centigrade.

2.2.5.That precipitation grew in the range of 3 to 4 times.

2.2.6.That the mass of dust material increased by a factor of 100.

Such high-speed transformations of the global climatic mechanism parameters, and its effects on

Earth's physical and biospheric qualities has not yet been rigorously studied by the reigning

scientific community. But, researchers are now insisting more, and more, that the Earth's temperature

increases are dependent upon, and directly linked to, space-terrestrial interactions

[52,53]; be it Earth-Sun, Earth-Solar System, and/or Earth-Interstellar.

At the present time there is no lack of new evidence regarding temperature inversion variations

in the hydrosphere [oceans]. In the Eastern Mediterranean there have been recordings of a temperature

inversion in depths greater than two kilometers from a ratio of 13.3 to 13.5 degrees

centigrade to a new ratio of 13.8 to 13.5; along with a growth in salinity of 0.02% since 1987.

The growth of salinity in the Aegean Sea has stopped, and the salt water outflow from the Mediterranean

Basin to the Atlantic has diminished. Neither of these processes, or their causes, has

been satisfactorily explained. It has already been established that evaporation increases in the

equatorial regions causes a water density increase which results in an immediate sinking to a

greater depth. Ultimately this would force the Gulfstream to reverse its flow. A probability of

Page 7 of 17

this event happening is confirmed by other signs as well as multiparameter numeric models [53].

Therefore the most highly probable scenario for the European Continent is a sharp and sudden

cooling. Elsewhere, the Siberian region has been experiencing a stable temperature increase

[58] along with reports from the Novosibirsk Klyuchi Observatory of a constant growth of up to

30 nanoteslas per year of the vertical component of the magnetic field. This growth rate increases

significantly as the Eastern Siberian magnetic anomaly is approached.

Update Note 1/8/98: The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration reported today, 1/8/

98, that 1997 was the warmest year on record since records began in 1880, and that nine of the

warmest years since that time have occured in the last eleven years.

2.3 Vertical and Horizontal Ozone Content Redistribution.

Vertical and horizontal ozone content redistribution is the main indicator, and active agent, of

general climatic transformations on Earth. And, evidence exists that ozone concentrations also

have a strong influence upon Earth's biospheric processes. Widespread models for "ozone holes"

being in the stratosphere [7 to 10 miles above Earth] (Antarctic and Siberian) are receiving serious

corrective modifications from reports of vertical ozone redistribution, and its growth in the

troposphere [below 7 miles]. It is now clear that the decrease in our atmosphere's total ozone

content is caused by technogeneous [industrial, human designed, pollution], and that the total

ozone content in general has serious effects upon the energy distribution processes within

Earth's gas-plasma [atmospheric] envelopes [54].

Stratospheric, tropospheric, and surface layer ozone's are now being studied [55,56]. Photodissociation

[the process by which a chemical combination breaks up into simpler constituents] of

ozone, controls the oxidizing activities within the troposphere. This has created a special atmospheric,

physio-chemical, circumstance by which the usual tropospheric concentrations, and

lifetimes, of carbon monoxide, methane, and other hydrocarbon gases are modified and changed.

So, with the established fact that a statistically significant rise in the ozone concentrations

has taken place in the tropospheric layers between 5 and 7 miles, and with the addition, and full

knowledge, of ozone's oxidizing properties, we must conclude that a basic and fundamental alteration

of the gas composition and physical state of Earth's atmosphere has already begun.

There are continuing reports of diminishing regional stratosphere ozone concentrations [25 to

49% or more above Siberia (57)], and of global decreases of ozone content in altitudes of 20-26

miles; with the maximal decrease of 7% being at 24 miles [55]. At the same time, there is no direct

evidence of a growth of UV radiation at the ground surface [58]. There are, however, a growing

number of "ozone alerts" in large European cities. For example, in 1994 there were 1800

"ozone alerts" in Paris. In addition, remarkably high concentrations of surface layer ozone were

registered in the Siberian Region. There were ozone concentration splashes in Novosibirsk that

exceeded 50 times the normal level. We must remember that ozone smell is noticeable in concentrations

of 100 mkg/m3; i.e. at 2 to 10 times the normal level.

The most serious concern of aeronomists comes from the detection of H02 that is being produced

at an altitude of 11 miles by a completely unknown source or mechanism. This source of

HO2 was discovered as a result of the investigation of OH/HO2 ratios in the interval between

4.35 and 21.70 miles in the upper troposphere and stratosphere. This significant growth of HO2,

over the course of time, will create a dependence on this substance for the ozone transfer and

redistribution process in the lower stratosphere[56].

The submission of the ozone's dynamic regime and space distribution to the above unknown

source of HO2, signifies a transition of Earth's atmosphere to a new physico-chemical process.

This is very important because non-uniformity's in the Earth's ozone concentrations can, and will,

cause an abrupt growth in temperature gradients, which in turn do lead to the increase of air

mass movement velocities, and to irregularities of moisture circulation patterns[46,59]. Temperature

gradient changes, and alterations, over the entire planet would create new thermodynamic

conditions for entire regions; especially when the hydrospheres [oceans] begin to participate

Page 8 of 17

in the new thermal non-equilibrium. The study [53] supports this conclusion, and the consideration

of a highly possible abrupt cooling of the European and North American Continents. The

probability of such a scenario increases when you take into account the ten year idleness of the

North Atlantic hydrothermal pump. With this in mind, the creation of a global, ecology-oriented,

climate map which might reveal these global catastrophes becomes critically important.

3.0 THE ARRIVAL OF NEW CONDITIONS AND CONSEQUENCES

Considering the totality and sequential relationship of transient background, and newly formed

processes, brought about by the above stated cosmogenic and anthropogenic PlanetoPhysical

transformations and alterations of our weather and climatic systems, we find it reasonable to

divide matters into their manifest (explicit) and non-manifest (implicit) influences upon Earth's

environment.

One must keep in mind that the growing complexity of climatic and weather patterns signals a

transformation tending towards a new state, or as Academician Kondratyev says, data indicates

that we are moving in the direction of climatic chaos. In reality this transition state of our climatic

machinery is placing new requirements upon Earth's entire biosphere; which does include

the human species. In particular, there are reports from Antarctica that show a dramatic reaction

by vegetation to the recent changes in climate; there were 700 species found growing in

1964 and 17,500 in 1990 [61]. This increase in Earth's vegetative cover provides evidence of the

biosphere's reaction to the ongoing process of climatic rearrangement.

The overall pattern of the generation and movement of cyclones has also changed. For example,

the number of cyclones moving to Russia from the West has grown 2.5 times during the last 10

years. Increased ocean levels caused by the shedding of ice from the polar regions will lead to

sharp changes in coast lines, a redistribution of land and sea relationships, and to the activation

of significant geodynamic processes. This is the main characteristic of those processes leading to

a new climatic and biospheric order.

3.2 The Non-Manifest or Implicit Consequences.

Implicit consequences are those processes which are below the threshold of usual human perception,

and are therefore not brought to our common attention. Instrument recordings, and

even direct observations, of these phenomena throughout Earth's electromagnetic field provides

evidence that an immense transformation of Earth's environment is taking place. This situation is

aggravated by the fact that in the 1990's anthropogeneous (human) power production/usage increased

to (1-9)E+26 ergs/per year which means it reached the conservative energetic production/

usage values of our planet. For example, Earth's annual energy consumption is comprised of

(1-9)E+26 ergs for earthquakes, (1-9)E+24 for geomagnetic storms, and (1-9)E+28 for heat emission

[54].

There already are technogeneous effects upon the functional state of Earth's electromagnetic

skeleton being registered and recorded. A seven-day technogeneous cycle for geomagnetic field

dynamic parameter variations was revealed in 1985 [62,63]. This cycle has affected many of the

short cycles in Solar-terrestrial relationships. More than 30% of middle magnetosphere disturbances

are caused by power production, transmission, and consumption. The Van Allen radiation

belt has abruptly lowered above the East Coast of the US from 300 km to 10 km. This process is

associated with electricity transmission from the Great Lakes to the South along a magnetic meridian,

and usage of the ionosphere-resonance frequency (60Hz) of energy consumption [63].

There is also a registered coherence between the gutter qualities of the Brazilian magnetic

anomaly, and the "Hydro-Quebec" power production system. Combined techno-natural electromagnetic

processes in megalopolises are very complex and as yet unstudied. A 1996 study of

Page 10 of 17

mortality from cardiovascular diseases in St. Petersburg, Russia uncovered a direct connection

between the city's power consumption and mortality.

Moreover, the increase in the frequency, and scope, of natural self-luminous formations in the

atmosphere and geospace forces us to wake up, and take notice [64,65,66]. The processes of

generation, and the existence of such formations, spreading all over the Earth, represents a remarkable

physical phenomenon. What is most unusual about these natural self-luminous formations

is that while they have distinct features of well-known physical processes, they are in entirely

unusual combinations, and are accompanied by process features which cannot be explained

on the basis of existing physical knowledge.Thus, features of intense electromagnetic processes

are being found in the space inside and near these natural self-luminous objects. These features

include:

3.2.1. Intense electromagnetic emissions ranging from the micrometer wave band through the

visible diapason, to television, and radio wavelengths.

3.2.2. Electric and magnetic field changes such as electric breakdowns, and the magnetization

of rocks and technical objects.

3.2.3. Destructive electrical discharges.

3.2.4. Gravitation effects such as levitation.

3.2.5. Others.

All of the qualities of this class of phenomena are requiring the development of new branches of

modern physics; particularly the creation of a "non-homogeneous physical vacuum model".[67].

An advancement of the sciences in this direction would allow us to reveal the true nature of these

objects, which are acting apparently, and latently, upon our geological-geophysical and

biospheric environment, and on human life [68].

Therefore, we must first take into account all of the newly developed processes and states of

our geological-geophysical environment. These processes, for the most part, manifest themselves

in the hard-to-register, and observe, qualities of the Earth's electromagnetic skeleton. This

data also concerns the geophysical and climatic meanings of Solar-terrestrial and planetary-terrestrial

interactions. This is especially true of Jupiter which is magnetically conjugate to our

planet. The totality of these planet-transforming processes develops precipitately, ubiquitously,

and diversely. It is critical that politicians be informed and trained to understand these global

relationships between the totality of natural and anthropogeneous activities, and there fundamental

causes and effects [69]. A compelling need exists to commence a scientific study which

would delineate the problems associated with Earth's current transformational processes, and

the effects they will have on global demographic dynamics.[70]. The sharp rise of our technogeneous

system's destructive force on a planetary as well as a cosmic scale, has now placed the

future survival of our technocratic civilization in question[33,7]. Additionally, the principle of

Natures supremacy [72] over that of humanities current integral technogeneous and psychogenic

activities and results, becomes more, and more, apparent.

CONCLUSIONS

The situation that has been created here in our Heliosphere is of external, Interstellar, cosmic

space origin,and is herein assumed to be caused by the underlying fundamental auto-oscillation,

space-physical, processes of continuous creation that has shaped, and continues to evolve our

Universe. The present excited state of our Heliosphere exists within the whole, or entire, organism

that makes up the Solar System; the Sun, Planets, Moons, Comets, and Asteroids, as well as

the plasmas, and/or electromagnetic mediums, and structures, of Interplanetary Space. The

response to these Interstellar energy and matter injections into our Heliosphere has been, and

continues to be, a series of newly observed energetic processes and formations on all of the Planets;

between the Planets and their Moons, and the Planets and the Sun.

Earth's ability to adapt to these external actions and transference's is aggravated, made more

difficult, by the technogeneous alterations we have made to the natural quality, or state, of our

geological-geophysical environment. Our Planet Earth is now in the process of a dramatic transformation;

by altering the electromagnetic skeleton through a shift of the geomagnetic field poles,

and through compositional changes in the ozone, and hydrogen, saturation levels of its gasplasma

envelopes. These changes in the Earth's physical state are being accompanied by resultant

climatic/atmospheric, and biospheric, adaptation processes. These processes are becoming

more and more intense, and frequent, as evidenced by the real time increase in "non-periodic

transient events"; ie., catastrophes. There are reasons favoring, or pointing to, the fact that a

growth in the ethical, or spiritual quality, of humanity would decrease the number and intensity

of complex catastrophes. It has become vitally important that a world chart be prepared setting

forth the favorable, and the catastrophic, regions on Earth taking into account the quality of the

geologic-geophysical environment, the variety and intensity of cosmic influences, and the real

level of spiritual-ethical development of the people occupying those areas.

It is reasonable to point out that our Planet will soon be experiencing these new conditions of

growing energy signifying the transition into a new state and quality of Space-Earth relationship.

The living organisms of those regions of Earth having the major "inlets", or attractions, for cosmic

influences will be taking the lead in evolving life's appropriate reactions, or processes, to

these new conditions. These zones of vertical commutations and energy transfers are already

becoming the heart, or hotbeds, in the search for new systems of adaptation and mutual transformation.

The general list of these zones includes the polar regions, the eastern continental

extremities of the equatorial regions [Caribbean, Madagascar, Philippines, Yellow Sea, etc.], and

the inner continental zones tending to folding and uplifting [Himalayas, Pamir-Hindukush, Altay-

Sayan systems, etc.]

The most significant of these areas are the helio-sensitive zones which have intense responses to

geoeffective solar activities [Note #1]; responses that include the very dramatic and unusual

manifestation of non-homogeneous vacuum, or classical non-mechanical ether, domain structures.

These structures, or objects, then interact with the heliosensitive zones producing deep and

powerful effects upon the environment such as the alteration of seismic activities, and chemical

compositions. Because these non-homogeneous vacuum domain objects display not-of-this-physical-

world characteristics such as "liquid light" and "non-Newtonian movement" it is difficult not

to describe their manifestations as being "interworld processes". It is important to note that

those heliosensitive zones that exhibit middle and large scale processes are also those that are

closely associated with these "interworld processes" produced by physical vacuum homogeneity

disturbances.

Such disturbances cause, and create, energy and matter transfer processes between the ether

media and our three-dimensional world. The multitude of such phenomena, which is rich in it's

quality and variety, is already growing quickly. Hundreds of thousands of these natural self-luminous

formations are exerting a increasing influence upon Earth's geophysic fields and biosphere.

We suggest that the presence of these formations is the mainstream precedent to the transformation

of Earth;an Earth which becomes more and more subject to the transitional physical processes

which exist within the borderland between the physical vacuum and our material world.

Page 12 of 17

All of this places humanity, and each one of us, squarely in front of a very difficult and topical

problem; the creation of a revolutionary advancement in knowledge which will require a transformation

of our thinking and being equal to this never-before-seen phenomena now presencing

itself in our world. There is no other path to the future than a profound internal experiential

perception and knowledge of the events now underway in the natural environment that surrounds

us. It is only through this understanding that humanity will achieve balance with the renewing

flow of the PlanetoPhysical States and Processes.

NOTES

1. Since the Earth is a large very highly organized organism, each of its structural units or territories

such as, mountain systems, rivers, tectonic faults, ore deposits, oil fields etc. plays a certain

functional role in its life, and in its connections with the outer world. For example, iron ore

deposits support the climate stability because they perform the connection between the electrical

activity in the atmosphere, and the electrical activity beneath the Earth's surface.

2. Nowadays we all know the works of Tschizhevsky who discovered, and proved in the 1920's,

that deep and various connections exist between Solar activity and various life processes. Using

vast historical and statistical material he showed that Solar activity acts as an accelerator and

moderator upon the whole biosphere, which manifests in the frequency and quantity of : births,

deaths , harvests, epidemics, heart attacks, emergencies, bank crashes, catastrophes, suicides,

populations growths and decreases, etc., etc.

3. Since different zones of Earth have different functions in the Earth organism, their response

to Solar activity is also different. For example, the polar regions are first to react to Solar disturbances,

which we know well in the form of magnetic storms, auroras, and nowadays, in ocean

warming at the 75 degree North latitudes. We also know other places which demonstrate intense

reactions to different kinds of solar activity; that's what we call heliosensitive zones.Such reactions

include local electromagnetic disturbances, low-latitude auroras, and specific changes in

the pattern of magnetic field variations on the short term scale. There are also long-term reactions

in the state of the biosphere. One of our colleagues, Ildar Mingazov, found, in studying the

distribution and frequency of different types of diseases in various regions, that the intensity of

disease frequency in correlation with solar activity varies between regions, and is maximal for

heliosensitive zones (for example, cardiovascular diseases).

Noosphere and our call to action.

2009-09-06T08:32:00.000-07:00

Time is ready to discuss and unveil non-linear models of the hidden physics of the universe in order to explain the exponential evolution of “Consciousness” over time. Imagine a Spiral-form time intersecting the Geomagnetic field (earth phenomena), the Biosphere (collective life) and the Noosphere (collective thoughts). We only see a small part of the foundations underlying the fluctuations of this increasingly changing physical space, at a very subatomic level or at macro level, however we do realize that in order to explain the exponential evolution of our progress we must postulate a powerful teleological attractor called the "Omega Point". Earth (Gaia) has the ability to adapt itself across these 3 levels and is on the verge of a positively dramatic transformation. Scientists are noticing changes in the Earth's electromagnetic skeleton which are not easy to explain. These processes are increasingly intensifying and becoming so frequent to be somehow measured also by NASA observers. Living organisms located in regions of the Earth more related to the cosmic points of attraction will more easily take the initiative toward this new spiritual evolution. These zones of vertical commutations and energy transfers are already becoming outbreaks in the search for new systems of adaptation and mutual transformation. A concept introduced by the Russian physicist well Dmitriev, which explains many optical phenomena seemingly viewed space, even recently from the Space Shuttle, the so-called "liquid light" characterized by "Non-Newtonian movement" that is unfolding in gradual process of the “inter-worlds”. These processes cause, create, convert energy in the transition between the material processes between the noosphere and biosphere, in-forming our world-dimension in form of light, the only one for its physicals properties able to connect the different worlds. Time at speed of light ceases to exist. The multitude of these phenomena, which is rich in its quality and variety, is already growing rapidly. Hundreds of thousands of these natural self-luminous formations are exerting a growing influence on the fields of Earth and the human biosphere and noosphere. A land that becomes increasingly subject to processes of physical transition that exists within the border zone between the physical vacuum and our material world. All this will require a radical transformation in our thinking to incorporate these non-events never seen before in our time and make their the actual presence in the world. There is no other way forward if not a deep immersion in experiential and experimental training of our perception and knowledge of current unfolding events. It is only through this understanding that humanity will achieve a new balance and renewal. We need new eyes to see. Chiaretto Calo Sept 6, 2009 http://theomegashift.blogspot.com

Brevi cenni sulla Noosfera che ci circonda qui ed ora.

Today at 16:57 | Edit note | Delete

L'evoluzione non lineare della Coscienza dell'Universo “passa” attraverso la “Storia dell'Uomo” sotto forma di interazione tra sfera Geomagnetica (terra), Biosfera (vita), Noosfera (pensiero).

Vediamo solo una piccola parte dei fondamenti sottostanti le oscillazioni dello spazio fisico, a livello subatomico, a livello stellare, ma ci rendiamo conto per spiegare l'esponenzialità a cui la nostra evoluzione storica è soggetta dobbiamo postulare un potente attrattore teleologico: il “Punto Omega”.

La Terra (Gaia) ha una capacità di adattarsi a questi 3 livelli ed è in procinto di una trasformazione drammatica, positivamente drammatica.

Stiamo assistendo ad alterazioni dello scheletro elettromagnetico della Terra non facilmente spiegabili. Questi processi sono sempre
sempre più intensi e frequenti e sono misurati da scienziati autorevoli, inclusa la NASA.

Gli organismi viventi situati in regioni della Terra maggiormente legate al punto di attrazione cosmico saranno in grado più facilmente di prendere l'iniziativa verso nuove evoluzioni spirituali.

Queste zone di commutazioni verticali e trasferimenti di energia sono già
diventando focolai nella ricerca di nuovi sistemi di adattamento e di trasformazione reciproca.

Un concetto ben introdotto dal fisico russo Dmitriev, che spiega molti fenomeni ottici apparentemente visti dallo spazio, anche recentemente dallo Space Shuttle, di cosiddetta "luce liquida" caratterizzata da un "movimento non-newtoniano" che si sta manifestando in graduali "processi di intermondo".

Tali processi causano, creano, trasformano l'energia nel passaggio tra la materia dei processi tra l'etere noosferico e biosferico, in-formando il nostro mondo tridimensionale sotto forma di luce, l'unico che per le sue proprietà fisiche viaggia a cavallo dei due mondi. Il tempo alla velocità della luce cessa di esistere. Oltre si inverte.

La moltitudine di questi fenomeni, che è ricca nella sua qualità e varietà, sta già crescendo rapidamente. Centinaia di migliaia di queste auto-luminose naturali
formazioni sono esercitando una crescente influenza sulla campi della Terra e della umana biosfera.

Una Terra che diventa sempre più soggetta ai processi di transizione fisica
che esistono all'interno della zona di confine tra il vuoto fisico e il nostro mondo materiale.

Tutto questo richiederà una trasformazione
radicale del nostro pensare per recepire questi non-fenomeni mai visti prima ora e renderli presenti nel nostro mondo.

Non c'è altra strada per il futuro se non una profonda immersione esperienziale all'interno
della percezione e della conoscenza degli eventi in corso.

È solo attraverso questa comprensione che l'umanità dovrà raggiungere un nuovo rinnovamento ed equilibrio.

Per vedere occorrono occhi nuovi.

TECNOLOGIA

IL PROGETTO

"Tra un decennio
il cervello artificiale"

Blue Brain pronto nel 2019, l'annuncio al TedConference di Oxford: "Parleremo con gli ologrammi". Il modello servirà anche per capire come si manifestano le malattie neurologiche e sperimentare nuovi farmacidi LUIGI BIGNAMI

IL CERVELLO umano è sicuramente uno dei fenomeni più complessi e misteriosi dell'universo. Basta un numero per comprenderlo: il cervello possiede circa 100 miliardi di neuroni che si parlano tra loro. Blue Brain è un progetto (a cui lavorano 35 scienziati) che si propone di ricostruire questa complicata macchina. Il suo direttore, Henry Markram, ha annunciato alla TedConference2009, che si sta tenendo in questi giorni all'Università di Oxford, in Gran Bretagna, che entro dieci anni si potrà costruire un cervello del tutto simile a quello dell'uomo.

"Alla TedConference del 2019 - ha detto il ricercatore - manderemo un ologramma dei nostri cervelli per parlare tra noi". La strategia che si sta seguendo per raggiungere il risultato finale è l'ingegneria "inversa": di solito, infatti, un ingegnere prima lavora a un progetto poi lo concretizza. Al Blue Brain invece dall'opera realizzata, il cervello appunto, si tenta di risalire al progetto. Al momento si è già riusciti a ricostruire al computer una piccola porzione di corteccia cerebrale di un ratto, alta un millimetro e mezzo e larga mezzo millimetro, che contiene circa diecimila neuroni e 10 milioni di sinapsi, che sono i collegamenti tra i diversi neuroni.

Per arrivare a questo primo risultato si è partiti da una sottile porzione del cervello di un roditore, che è stata mantenuta in "vita" immergendola durante gli esperimenti in una sostanza nutritiva. La "fetta cerebrale" è stata sottoposta all'accurata indagine di un apparecchio che ha permesso di misurare gli scambi chimici ed elettrici tra i neuroni, oltre a determinare la posizione di ciascuno di essi. I dati, poi, sono stati immessi in un computer dove ingegneri informatici hanno ricostruito con estrema pazienza quanto osservato e rilevato nella piccola porzione di corteccia cerebrale.

Le complessità del lavoro è enorme. Infatti in una colonna neocorticale (si tratta di "colonne" di neuroni che dalla parte più superficiale del cervello arrivano fino alla materia grigia, nel suo cuore) sono stati individuati oltre 240 tipi diversi di neuroni, ciascuno dei quali può comunicare con migliaia di altri neuroni. Capire come ciascuno di essi parla con l'altro, quali tipi di segnali chimici o elettrici inviano e come reagiscono al richiamo gli altri neuroni è un'impresa ciclopica.
Per ricostruire questa porzione di cervello, intanto, si è dovuto far ricorso a uno dei più potenti computer al mondo, il Blue Gene dell'Ibm, un supercomputer capace di 22,8 migliaia di miliardi di operazioni al secondo.

Ma qual è l'obiettivo di questa ricerca? Spiega Markram: "Il nostro intento è arrivare a costruire una struttura in grado di lavorare come un cervello umano e anche animale". E aggiunge: "Ma non costruiremo solo un modello, bensì un sistema che sia in grado di prendere informazioni diagnostiche dai pazienti con problemi psichiatrici su cui lavorare in modo personalizzato". Secondo il ricercatore, dunque, il progetto sarà utile non solo per capire come funziona il cervello, ma anche per comprendere come si manifestano le malattie neurologiche a livello individuale. In tal modo, sempre secondo Markram, sarà possibile progettare farmaci costruiti per ogni singolo paziente.

Lo scopo finale del lavoro, dunque, è ricostruire un'intera corteccia cerebrale, ossia lo strato superiore del cervello dove vengono elaborate tutte le informazioni cognitive, così da poter sperimentare nuovi farmaci attraverso simulazioni senza dover usare animali o addirittura i pazienti stessi. Il cervello artificiale, inoltre, potrà essere usato per indagare i meccanismi della memoria e dell'apprendimento. Sottolinea Markram: "Ci sono due miliardi di persone sul pianeta che soffrono di disordini mentali a vari livelli. Una volta terminato, Blue Brain potrà essere la loro soluzione".

Fato e origine dell'Universo
2 tipi di osservazioni
Basate sulle legge di Hubble

Relazione tra distanza e velocità delle galassie
Che ci porta a misurare un'espansione dell'universo

Se guardiamo al passato scopriamo che le cose erano diverse nel passato che l'universo era molto più denso
Questi 2 fatti messi insieme portano a riflettere sulla scala dell'universo e ci fanno predirre il suo futuro

Omega è il valore della densità dell'Universo

Ora attenzione,

Se Omega è maggore di 1, ricollassiamo in un Big Crunch

Se è meno di 1, l'universo si espanderà per sempre

Cosa succede se Omega è = 1????

Ora succede che la crescita si fermarà asintotica verso lo zero.

Ovvero un universo compiuto.

Quiddentro c'è tutta la Teologia.

10.000.000.000 anni di evoluzione dal punto alfa, poi

dalla prima cellula vivente, al primo organismo multicellulare passano:

3.000.000.000 di anni;

dal primo essere multicellulare al primo primate ci sono

700.000.000 anni;

dal primate all'uomo passano:

30.000.000 di anni;

la trasmissione scritta della civiltà umana si sviluppa in

10.000 anni;

la società dell'informazione si sviluppa negli ultimi

50 anni;

Al crescere dell'informazione e della sua complessità, il tempo "sembra" diminuire! Non è un paradosso logico-fisico?

il tempo aumenta e si stratifica secondo una gerarchia. L'evoluzione atomica "esiste", anche se non incide nella storia della coscienza.

Esiste "sensibilità informativa autocoscienziale" che fa sì che una galassia per autodisporsi in senso ordinato ci impieghi 10 miliardi di anni, mentre un uomo possa farlo in pochi giorni. Ciò che trae in inganno è il senso lineare della misura del tempo.

Dovremmo usare come base di misurazione la spira mirabilis, la spirale equiangolare, che ha una distanza descrescente avvicinandosi al centro, conosciuta anche come spirale di Bernulli.

Oltre l'uomo, esistono allora, esistono, sottolineo, forse delle forme di organizzazione dell'informazione cosciente superiori? che si posizionano su cicli completi di informazione in frazioni di secondi

Tempo infinito = informazione nulla

10.000.000.000 anni = tempo necessario per propagare una informazione atomica

3.000.000.000 di anni = tempo necessario per propagare una informazione cellulare

700.000.000 anni = ... informazione degli organismi viventi

30.000.000 di anni = ... informazione dei primati

10.000 anni = ... informazione della civiltà umana

50 anni = ... società informatica

5 anni= ... società della manipolazione genetica

5 mesi = ?

5 giorni = ?

5 minuti = ?

Misura del tempo = informazione = posizione nella creazione

Tempo come freccia evolutiva che viaggia a velocità crescente cosi come la freccia che viaggia al centro di una spirale galattica

Punto Omega come fine della storia o come evoluzione? Corpo mistico di Cristo o l’uomo nuovo bio-solare e telepate, Mago della Noosfera (da non confondere con Noosferatu il vampiro…o forse sì)? E chi puo dirlo? Si azzardano congetture e ipotesi, nel tentativo di coniugare scienza e coscienza! Astrofisica e archeo-astrologia per un verso, nella scia dell’immensamente grande; fisica nucleare e Quanto-meccanica per il verso opposto, nella scia dell’immensamente piccolo. Al centro il regno dello “incredibilmente complesso”, l’interazione tra Uomo e Terra, tra coscienza individuale e inconscio collettivo, nella speranza che la Seconda creazione porti con sè il superamento dell’uomo sapiens, la cui mente si ostina a operare per analisi e porta fatalmente alla separazione anziché incarnare la coscienza unitaria e gioiosa del Tutto.

Tra le conseguenze nefaste del suo operare – povero sapiens – vi è quella tremendibus di distruggere la biosfera: l’impatto delle tecnologie e delle civiltà industriali sulle risorse e i cicli della biosfera sta velocemente procedendo verso il picco di crisi in egual misura temuto e auspicato, quel grado di combustione geochimica capace di bucare la biosfera e grattare la “fodera” mentale del pianeta, a cui Teilhard de Chardin, un gesuita…, ha dato il nome di noosfera. Si tratta quindi della transizione dalla biosfera alla noosfera, l’inizio della cosiddetta era psicozoica, era di mediazione tra materia e spirito. Secondo questo gesuita la noosfera è preceduta dalla formazione (o in-formazione?) di una rete planetaria di informazioni, che poi diventa anche l’ultimo rito di passaggio materiale-tecnologico prima del punto-omega, prima dell’uomo noosphericus!

Anche se la nozione di atomo viene da Democrito, che l’apprese prendendo a martellate la pietra e ottenendone idealmente l’ultima porzionucola non più martellabile, è arrivato il momento di convincerci, a soli 3 anni dal 2012, che siamo fatti di atomi (e questo lo sapevamo) i quali a loro volta sono fatti di…spazio e tempo miscelati, il cui impasto viene “spanto” dalla gravità. Lo sapevate questo? Che siamo “spanti” dalla gravità! Lo sapevate che i quark che compongono un protone sono “fluttuazioni” di un vuoto quanto-meccanico? Lo sapevate che la massa di un protone è data dai 3 quark che lo formano, i quali però concorrono solo per l’ 1% a fornire tale massa. Da dove viene il restante 99% allora? Non resta altro che attribuirla ai gluoni, che come sapete fanno da spoletta ai quark. Il “difetto” di massa è continuamente proposto in fisica. Anche nel nucleo, il protone e il neutrone presi separatamente non hanno la massa, che mostrano di avere “insieme”. L’energia (ops!) di legame dirime ogni ammanco!

L’uomo noosphericus si installa sul punto omega non prima che l’uomo sapiens faccia il pari sul punto G. Ma anche l’ultima frontiera gravitazionale è stata superata: secondo Massimo Corbucci – Mr. “Lo sapevate chè” – esiste una correlazione tra punto “G” femminile e gravità. Anche Sophia Loren fu creata da un “impasto” di immaginario spazio e di immaginario tempo, spanto dalla “curvatura” gravitazionale del pianeta Terra a “g” 9,81 millimetri/secondo al quadrato.
La realtà funziona in modo completamente diverso da come finora abbiamo creduto. E’ il valore di “g” 9,81 m/sec² a permetterci la “apercezione” e l’uomo può vivere solo sulla Terra, che è il Luogo Centrale dell’Universo. Al di fuori (del punto G?), non percepisce niente.
Massimo Corbucci fa parte del comitato scientifico della nota rivista “Scienza e Conoscenza” e si rende disponibile,in qualità di Fisico nonché di Medico, per la formazione epistemologica di tutte le persone che intendono prepararsi al cambiamento metodologico e di orientamento, imminente per il 2012. Massimo dacci le info Giuste!

Forma/informazione, significante/significato, soma/psiche, espressione/contenuto sono altre coppie di termini che evidenziano l’unità tra dimensione esterna-sensoriale e interna-conoscitiva. O il dualismo, che è a mio modo di vedere è un effetto ottico dell'unità.

Res Extensa e Res Cogitans. Siamo sempre li.

Oppure il dualismo si può meglio esprimere come Energia/Informazione.

L’intera esistenza materiale è energia. Andando a cercare il cuore atomico della grande madre natura, l’ "Atom Heart Mother" della materia, la scienza ha scoperto che le particelle subatomiche hanno una natura energetica.

Ogni energia è informata.

Questo principio evidenzia l’intima e inscindibile interconnessione che lega la forma all’in-formazione, la forma esterna e interna di una qualsiasi struttura fisica all’informazione che ne codifica senso, funzione e relazione tra le parti.

Ma la natura dell'informazione qual'è?

Dove va l'informazione? C'è una direzionalità evolutiva?

Feinberg e Shapiro nel loro libro Life Beyond Earth definiscono la vita come un ordine che esprime quante informazioni sono codificate in un sistema; per cui ciò che è vivo (sistema vivente) dovrebbe essere misurato in termini di informazione.

Ho sempre sconfinato nella GNOSI pretendendo che una infinita coscienza, come un continuum vuoto oltre lo spaziotempo si insinui nelle pieghe frattali delle meccaniche quantistiche, costituendo la matrice "implicata" di ogni ordine, intelligenza e bellezza.

La matrice.

Dunque:

0 (= pura energia senza informazione)
1 (= pura informazione senza energia?)

0 = nascita
1 = omega

tra zero e uno si possono esprimere tutte le grandezze matematiche.

ACCELERATING CHANGE

Some singularity proponents argue its inevitability through extrapolation of past trends, especially those pertaining to shortening gaps between improvements to technology. In one of the first uses of the term "singularity" in the context of technological progress, Ulam (1958) tells of a conversation with John von Neumann about accelerating change:

One conversation centered on the ever accelerating progress of technology and changes in the mode of human life, which gives the appearance of approaching some essential singularity in the history of the race beyond which human affairs, as we know them, could not continue.

Hawkins (1983) writes that "mindsteps", dramatic and irreversible changes to paradigms or world views, are accelerating in frequency as quantified in his mindstep equation. He cites the inventions of writing, mathematics, and the computer as examples of such changes.

Ray Kurzweil's analysis of history concludes that technological progress follows a pattern of exponential growth, following what he calls The Law of Accelerating Returns. He generalizes Moore's Law, which describes geometric growth in integrated semiconductor complexity, to include technologies from far before the integrated circuit.

Whenever technology approaches a barrier, Kurzweil writes, new technologies will cross it. He predicts paradigm shifts will become increasingly common, leading to "technological change so rapid and profound it represents a rupture in the fabric of human history".(Kurzweil 2001) Kurzweil believes that the singularity will occur before the end of the 21st century, setting the date at 2045 (Kurzweil 2005). His predictions differ from Vinge’s in that he predicts a gradual ascent to the singularity, rather than Vinge’s rapidly self-improving superhuman intelligence.

This leads to the conclusion that an artificial intelligence that is capable of improving on its own design is also faced with a singularity. This idea is explored by Dan Simmons in his novel Hyperion, where a collection of artificial intelligences debate whether or not to make themselves obsolete by creating a new generation of "ultimate" intelligence.

The Acceleration Studies Foundation, an educational non-profit foundation founded by John Smart, engages in outreach, education, research and advocacy concerning accelerating change.(Acceleration Studies Foundation 2007) It produces the Accelerating Change conference at Stanford University, and maintains the educational site Acceleration Watch.

Presumably, a technological singularity would lead to a rapid development of a Kardashev Type I civilization where a Kardashev Type I civilization has achieved mastery of the resources of its home planet, Type II of itsplanetary system, and Type III of its galaxy.^[3] Given the fact that, depending on the calculations used, humans on Earth will reach 0.73 on the Kardashev scale by 2030 or sooner, a technological singularity between now and then would push us rapidly over that limit.

Intelligence explosion

Good (1965) speculated on the consequences of machines smarter than humans:

Let an ultraintelligent machine be defined as a machine that can far surpass all the intellectual activities of any man however clever. Since the design of machines is one of these intellectual activities, an ultraintelligent machine could design even better machines; there would then unquestionably be an ‘intelligence explosion,’ and the intelligence of man would be left far behind. Thus the first ultraintelligent machine is the last invention that man need ever make.

Mathematician and author Vernor Vinge greatly popularized Good’s notion of an intelligence explosion in the 1980s, calling the creation of the first ultraintelligent machine the Singularity. Vinge first addressed the topic in print in the January 1983 issue of Omni magazine. A 1993 article by Vinge,"The Coming Technological Singularity: How to Survive in the Post-Human Era", contains the oft-quoted statement, "Within thirty years, we will have the technological means to create superhuman intelligence. Shortly thereafter, the human era will be ended." Vinge refines his estimate of the time scales involved, adding, "I'll be surprised if this event occurs before 2005 or after 2030."

Vinge continues by predicting that superhuman intelligences, however created, will be able to enhance their own minds faster than the humans that created them. "When greater-than-human intelligence drives progress," Vinge writes, "that progress will be much more rapid." This feedback loop of self-improving intelligence, he predicts, will cause large amounts of technological progress within a short period of time.

Most proposed methods for creating smarter-than-human or transhuman minds fall into one of two categories: intelligence amplification of human brains and artificial intelligence. The means speculated to produce intelligence augmentation are numerous, and include bio- and genetic engineering,nootropic drugs, AI assistants, direct brain-computer interfaces, and mind transfer.

Despite the numerous speculated means for amplifying human intelligence, non-human artificial intelligence (specifically seed AI) is the most popular option for organizations trying to advance the singularity, a choice addressed by Singularity Institute for Artificial Intelligence (2002). Hanson (1998)is also skeptical of human intelligence augmentation, writing that once one has exhausted the "low-hanging fruit" of easy methods for increasing human intelligence, further improvements will become increasingly difficult to find.

It is difficult to directly compare silicon-based hardware with neurons. But Berglas (2008) notes that computer speech recognition is approaching human capabilities, and that this capability seems to require 0.01% of the volume of the brain. This analogy suggests that modern computer hardware is within a few orders of magnitude as powerful as the human brain.

One other factor potentially hastening the singularity is the ongoing expansion of the community working on it, resulting from the increase in scientific research within developing countries.

Technological singularity

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

According to Ray Kurzweil, his logarithmic graph of 15 lists of paradigm shiftsfor key historic events shows an exponential trend. The lists' compilers includeCarl Sagan, Paul D. Boyer, Encyclopædia Britannica, American Museum of Natural History, and University of Arizona.

The technological singularity is the theoretical future point which takes place during a period of accelerating change sometime after the creation of a superintelligence.^[1]

In 1965, I. J. Good first wrote of an "intelligence explosion", suggesting that if machines could even slightly surpass human intellect, they could improve their own designs in ways unforeseen by their designers, and thusrecursively augment themselves into far greater intelligences. The first such improvements might be small, but as the machine became more intelligent it would become better at becoming more intelligent, which could lead to an exponential and quite sudden growth in intelligence.

In 1993, Vernor Vinge called this event "the Singularity" as an analogy between the breakdown of modern physics near a gravitational singularity and the drastic change in society he argues would occur following an intelligence explosion. (Vinge 1993) In the 1990s, Vinge popularized the concept in lectures, essays, and science fiction. More recently, some prominent technologists such as Bill Joy, founder of Sun Microsystems, voiced concern over the potential dangers of Vinge's singularity. (Joy 2000)

Robin Hanson proposes that multiple "singularities" have occurred throughout history, dramatically affecting the growth rate of the economy. Like the agricultural and industrial revolutions of the past, the technological singularity would increase economic growth between 60 and 250 times. An innovation that allowed for the replacement of virtually all human labor could trigger this event.^[2]

Futurist Ray Kurzweil argues that the inevitability of a technological singularity is implied by a long-term pattern of accelerating change that generalizes Moore's Law to technologies predating the integrated circuit, and which he argues will continue to other technologies not yet invented.

Terence McKenna from Wikipedia

Terence McKenna advocated the exploration of altered states of mind via the ingestion of naturally occurring psychedelic substances. For example, and in particular, as facilitated by the ingestion of high doses of psychedelic mushrooms, and DMT, which he believed was the apotheosis of the psychedelic experience. He spoke of the "jeweled, self-dribbling basketballs" or "self-transformingmachine elves" that one encounters in that state.

Although he avoided giving his allegiance to any one interpretation (part of his rejection of monotheism), he was open to the idea of psychedelics as being "trans-dimensional travel"; literally, enabling an individual to encounter what could be aliens, ancestors, or spirits of earth.^[7] He remained opposed to most forms of organized religion or guru-based forms of spiritual awakening.

Philosophically and religiously, he expressed admiration for Marshall McLuhan, Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, Gnostic Christianity, Alfred North Whitehead, Alchemy, and James Joyce (callingFinnegans Wake "the quintessential work of art, or at least work of literature of the 20th century").^[15]

[edit]The "Stoned Ape" hypothesis of human evolution

McKenna hypothesized that as the North African jungles receded, near the end of the most recent ice age, giving way to savannas and grasslands, a branch of our tree-dwelling primate ancestors left the forest canopy and began to live in the open areas outside of the forest. There they experimented with new varieties of foods as they adapted, physically and mentally, to their new environment.

Among the new food items found in this new environment were psilocybin-containing mushrooms growing near the dung of ungulate herds that occupied the savannas and grasslands at that time. McKenna, referencing the research of Roland L. Fisher,^[16]^[17]^[18]^[19] claimed that enhancement of visual acuity was an effect of psilocybin at low doses, and supposed that this would have conferred an adaptive advantage. He also argued that the effects of slightly larger doses, including sexual arousal, and in still larger doses, ecstatic hallucinations and glossolalia — gave selective evolutionary advantages to members of those tribes who partook of it. There were many changes caused by the introduction of this psychoactive mushroom to the primate diet. McKenna hypothesizes, for instance, that synesthesia (the blurring of boundaries between the senses) caused by psilocybin led to the development of spoken language: the ability to form pictures in another person's mind through the use of vocal sounds.

About 12,000 years ago, further climate changes removed psilocybin-containing mushrooms from the human diet. McKenna argued that this event resulted in a new set of profound changes in our species as we reverted to the previous brutal primate social structures that had been modified and/or repressed by frequent consumption of psilocybin.

[edit]Novelty theory and "Time Wave: Zero Point"

Main article: Novelty theory

One of McKenna's ideas is known as novelty theory. It predicts the ebb and flow of novelty in the universe as an inherent quality of time. McKenna developed the theory in the mid-1970s after his experiences in the Amazon at La Chorrera led him to closely study the King Wen sequence of the I-Ching. Novelty theory involves ontology, extropy, and eschatology.

The theory proposes that the universe is an engine designed for the production and conservation of novelty. Novelty, in this context, can be thought of as newness, or extropy (a term coined by Max More meaning the opposite of entropy). According to McKenna, when novelty is graphed over time, a fractal waveform known as "timewave zero" or simply the "timewave" results. The graph shows at what time periods, but never at what locations, novelty increases or decreases and is supposed to represent a model of history's most important events.

The algorithm has also been extrapolated to be a model for future events. McKenna admitted to the expectation of a "singularity of novelty", and that he and his colleagues projected into the future to find when this singularity (runaway "newness" or extropy) could occur. Millenarians give more credence to Novelty theory as a way to predict the future (especially regarding 2012) than McKenna himself. The graph of extropy had many enormous fluctuations over the last 25,000 years, but it hit an asymptote at exactly December 21, 2012.^[20] In other words, entropy (or habituation) no longer exists after that date. It is impossible to define that state. This is also the date on which the Mayan long calendar ends. The technological singularity concept parallels this, only at a date roughly three decades later.

From Wikipedia:

Teilhard's phenomenology

Cosmos - a process of convergence and divergence^[8]

Teilhard himself claimed his work to be phenomenology.

Teilhard studied what he called the rise of spirit, or evolution of consciousness, in the universe. He believed it to be observable and verifiable in a simple law he called the Law of Complexity/Consciousness. This law simply states that there is an inherent compulsion in matter to arrange itself in more complex groupings, exhibiting higher levels of consciousness. The more complex the matter, the more conscious it is. Teilhard proposed that this is a better way to describe the evolution of life on earth, rather than Herbert Spencer's "survival of the fittest." The universe, he argued, strives towards higher consciousness, and does so by arranging itself into more complex structures.

Teilhard identified what he termed to be different stages in the rise of consciousness. These stages are analogous to what are termed the geosphere and the biosphere. The Law of Complexity/Consciousness traces matter's path through these stages, as it 'complexifies' upon itself and rises in consciousness. Teilhard claimed that although it is not evident, consciousness (in an extremely limited degree) exists even in rocks, as the Law of Complexity/Consciousness implies. In plants, matter is complex enough to exhibit a consciousness that is the very life of the plant. In animals, matter is complex enough to an extraordinary degree to where consciousness shows itself in a wide range of reactionary movement to the whole universe.

However, Teilhard here proposed another level of consciousness, to which human beings belong, because of their cognitive ability; i.e. their ability to 'think'. Human beings, Teilhard argued, represent the layer of consciousness which has "folded back in upon itself", and has become self-conscious. Julian Huxley, Teilhard's scientific colleague, described it like this: "evolution is nothing but matter become conscious of itself."^{[citation needed]}

So in addition to the geosphere and the biosphere, Teilhard posited another sphere, which is the realm of human beings, the realm of reflective thought: the noosphere.

In the noosphere Teilhard believed the same Law of Complexity/Consciousness to be at work, although not in a way previously seen. He argued that ever since human-beings first came into existence 200,000 years ago, the Law of Complexity/Conscious began to run on a different (higher) plane. Consciousness in the universe, he argued, now continues to rise in the complex arrangement and unification (Teilhard sometimes called it 'totalization')^{[citation needed]} of mankind on earth. As human beings converge around the earth, he reasoned, unifying themselves in ever more complex forms of arrangement, consciousness will rise.

Finally, the keystone to his phenomenology is that because Teilhard could not explain why the universe would move in the direction of more complex arrangements and higher consciousness, he postulated that there must exist ahead of the moving universe, and pulling it along, a higher pole of supreme consciousness, which he called Omega Point.

Teilhard re-interpreted many disciplines, including theology, sociology, metaphysics, around this understanding of the universe. A main focus of his was to re-assure the converging mass of humanity not to despair, but to trust the evolution of consciousness as it rises through them.

Immaginiamo l'Alfa come l'Unità Energetica primordiale, indifferenziata.

Immaginiamo inoltre di porci lungo una scala evolutiva dove l'Omega rappresenta l'unità dello Spirito.

Per procedere all'Unità dello spirito, la complessità deve crescere, si deve formare l'Unità della Materia (Atomi), l'Unità della Vita (Cellule), l'Unità del pensiero cosciente (Uomo).

Punto Omega

Da Wikipedia, l'enciclopedia libera.

Punto Omega è un termine coniato dallo scienziato gesuita francese Pierre Teilhard de Chardin per descrivere il massimo livello di complessità e di coscienza verso il quale sembra che l'universo tenda nella sua evoluzione. Teilhard de Chardin postula la somiglianza di Punto Omega con il Logoscristiano; Cristo che accoglie tutte le cose in Sé. Secondo la teoria che Teilhard de Chardin ha chiamato legge di complessità e coscienza, l'universo è in costante evoluzione verso livelli più elevati di complessità e di coscienza che vanno dalla geosfera, alla biosfera e alla noosfera. Per Teilhard de Chardin l'universo, se è attratto da un punto supremo di complessità e coscienza, non può che muoversi nella direzione di una crescente complessità e di una crescente coscienza. Per questo Teilhard de Chardin postula il concetto di “Punto Omega” come il punto supremo di complessità e di coscienza, che non è solo il punto di arrivo del processo evolutivo, ma la causa per la quale l'universo si muove nella direzione della complessità e della coscienza. In altre parole, il Punto Omega è il massimo della complessità e della coscienza ed è indipendente dall'universo che si evolve: il Punto Omega è dunque trascendente. Interpretando l'universo secondo questi criteri, Teilhard de Chardin collocò il Punto Omega all'interno dell'ortodossia del Dio Cristiano, che è trascendente (indipendente) rispetto al creato. Per Teilhard de Chardin il Punto Omega è il Logos ossia Gesù Cristo, il quale è “Dio da Dio”, “Luce da Luce”, “Dio vero da Dio vero” e “attraverso di Lui tutte le cose furono create.”

Nel libro Il fenomeno umano (Le Phénomène Humain, 1955), Teilhard de Chardin descrive i cinque attributi del Punto Omega:

è sempre esistito - solo in questo modo si può spiegare l'evoluzione dell'universo verso livelli elevati di coscienza
deve essere personale – un essere intellettuale e non un'idea astratta; la maggiore complessità della materia non ha solo portato a più elevate forme di coscienza, ma ad una maggiore personalizzazione, della quale gli esseri umani sono le forme più elevate di “personalizzazione” dell'universo. Essi sono completamente “individualizzati”, liberi centri di attività. È in questo senso che si dice che l'uomo è stato fatto a immagine di Dio, il quale è la più elevata forma di personalità. Teilhard de Chardin sostiene espressamente che il Punto Omega, quando l'universo attraverso l'unificazione diventerà Uno, non si assisterà all'eliminazione delle persone, ma alla super-personalizzazione di esse. La personalità sarà infinitamente più ricca. Ciò perché il Punto Omega unisce il creato, e più esso unisce, più l'universo diventa complesso e accresce la propria coscienza. Così come Dio crea, l'universo si evolve verso più elevate forme di complessità, coscienza e, infine, con gli esseri umani, di personalità perché Dio, attraendo l'universo verso di Sé, è una Persona.
deve essere trascendente – il Punto Omega non costituisce il risultato della complessità e della coscienza. Esso esiste prima dell'evoluzione dell'universo, perché il Punto Omega è la causa dell'evolvere dell'universo verso la maggiore complessità, coscienza e personalità. Ciò essenzialmente significa che il Punto Omega si trova all'esterno del contesto in cui si evolve l'universo, perché è a causa della sua attrazione magnetica che l'universo tende ad esso.
deve essere autonomo – libero da limitazioni di spazio e di tempo.
deve essere irreversibile – cioè deve offrire la possibilità di essere raggiunto.

Omega point

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Omega Point is a term invented by the French Jesuit Pierre Teilhard de Chardin to describe a maximum level of complexity and consciousness towards which the universe appears to be evolving. Teilhard's term recurs in both intellectual works and popular culture, especially the cosmological theory proposed by the mathematical physicist Frank Tipler.

Teilhard de Chardin

In this theory, the universe is constantly developing towards higher levels of material complexity and consciousness, a theory of evolution that Teilhard called the Law of Complexity/Consciousness. For Teilhard, the universe can only move in the direction of more complexity and consciousness if it is being drawn by a supreme point of complexity and consciousness. Thus Teilhard postulates the Omega Point as the supreme point of complexity and consciousness, which is not only as the term of the evolutionary process, but is also the actual cause for the universe to grow in complexity and consciousness. In other words, the Omega Point exists as supremely complex and conscious, independent of the evolving universe. I.e., the Omega Point is transcendent. In interpreting the universe this way, Teilhard kept the Omega Point within the orthodox views of the Christian God, who is transcendent (independent) of his creation.

Teilhard argued that the Omega Point resembles the Christian Logos, namely Christ, who draws all things into himself, who in the words of the Nicene Creed, is "God from God", "Light from Light", "True God from true God," and "through him all things were made."

Five Attributes of the Omega Point

Teilhard de Chardin's The Phenomenon of Man states that the Omega Point must possess the following five attributes. It is:

Already existing.
Only thus can the rise of the universe towards higher stages of consciousness be explained.

Personal – an intellectual being and not an abstract idea.
The complexification of matter has not only led to higher forms of consciousness, but accordingly to more personalization, of which human beings are the highest attained form in the universe. They are completely individualized, free centers of operation. It is in this way that man is said to be made in the image of God, who is the highest form of personality. Teilhard expressly stated that in the Omega Point, when the universe becomes One, human persons will not be suppressed, but super-personalized. Personality will be infinitely enriched. This is because the Omega Point unitescreation, and the more it unites, the more the universe complexifies and rises in consciousness. Thus, as God creates the universe evolves towards higher forms of complexity, consciousness, and finally with humans, personality, because God, who is drawing the universe towards Him, is a person.

Transcendent.
The Omega Point cannot be the result of the universe's final complexification of itself on consciousness. Instead, the Omega Point must exist even before the universe's evolution, because the Omega Point is responsible for the rise of the universe towards more complexity, consciousness and personality. Which essentially means that the Omega Point is outside the framework in which the universe rises, because it is by the attraction of the Omega Point that the universe evolves towards Him.

Autonomous – that is, free from the limitations of space (nonlocality) and time (atemporality).

Irreversible, that is, attainable.

Garcia and increasing creativity

In 1971, John David Garcia expanded on Teilhard's Omega Point idea. In particular, he stressed that even more than the increase of intelligence, the constant increase of ethics is essential for humankind to reach the Omega Point. He applied the term creativity to the combination of intelligence and ethics and announced that increasing creativity is the correct and proper goal of human life. He specifically rejected increasing happiness as a proper ultimate goal: when faced with a choice between increasing creativity and increasing happiness, a person ought to choose creativity, he wrote.

Tipler's cosmological Omega Point

The Omega Point is Frank Tipler's term for what he maintains is the ultimate fate of the universe required by the laws of physics. Tipler has summarized his theory as follows:

The universe has finite spatial size and the topology of a three-sphere;
There are no event horizons, implying the future c-boundary is a point, called the Omega Point;
Sentient life must eventually engulf the entire universe and control it;
The amount of information processed between now and the Omega Point is infinite;
The amount of information stored in the universe asymptotically goes to infinity as the Omega Point is approached.^[1]

According to Tipler's Omega Point Theory, as the universe comes to an end in a specific kind of Big Crunch, the computational capacity of the universe will be accelerating exponentially faster than time runs out. In principle, a simulation run on this universal computer can thus continue forever in its own terms, even though the universal computer is embedded in a universe that will last only a finite time. The Omega Point Theory requires that the universe eventually contract, and that there be intelligent civilizations in existence at the appropriate time to exploit the computational capacity of such an environment.

Tipler identifies the final singularity of this asymptotically infinite information capacity with God. According to Tipler and David Deutsch, an implication of this theory is that this ultimate cosmic computer will be able to resurrect (via emulation) everyone who has ever lived, by simulating all possiblequantum brain states within the master simulation. This will manifest itself as a simulated reality. From the perspective of its simulated inhabitants, the Omega Point is an infinite-duration afterlife, which could take any imaginable form due to its virtual nature.

Tipler's Omega Point Theory is predicated on an eventual Big Crunch, a scenario believed unlikely by some because of certain recent astronomical observations implying that the expansion of the universe is accelerating.^[2] Tipler has recently amended his theory to accommodate an accelerating universe due to a positive cosmological constant. He proposes baryon annihilation (via the inverse of electroweak baryogenesis using electroweak quantum tunneling) as a means of propelling interstellar spacecraft. Tipler maintains that if all baryons in the universe were to be annihilated by this process, then this would force the Higgs field toward its absolute vacuum state, cancelling the positive cosmological constant, stopping the acceleration, and forcing the universe to collapse into the Omega Point.^[3]

Tipler argues that his Omega Point theory is fully consistent with what God said to Moses in Exodus 3:14, whose Hebrew original Tipler translates into English as: "I shall be what I shall be." Tipler (2007) argues that his theory is consistent with orthodox Christianity.

Technological singularity

Some transhumanists argue that the accelerating technological progress inherent in the Law of Accelerating Returns will, in the relatively near future, lead to what Vernor Vinge called a technological singularity or "prediction wall." These transhumanists believe we will soon enter a time in which we must eventually make the transition to a "runaway positive feedback loop" in high-level autonomous machine computation. A result will be that our technological and computational tools eventually completely surpass human capacities.[1] Some transhumanist writings refer to this moment as the Omega Point, paying homage to Teilhard's prior use of the term. Other transhumanists, in particular Ray Kurzweil, refer to the technological singularity as simply "The Singularity."

What is happening is that things in creation are not pushed from behind (the bing bang, the evolution, etc.) but things are pulled from the Omega point.

We are very close to the Omega point.

The Omega point is Unity.

The closer we are to the Omega point, the higher is the complexity and the interconnections, as happens to our Brain or to Internet.
