Walking the Planck - Variable Constants & False Foundations
by Thomas Joseph Brown

https://www.alkemix.art/p/walking-the-planck

"Max Planck's introduction of quantized energy levels in 1900, proposing that energy is emitted or absorbed in discrete packets or "quanta," revolutionized physics by challenging the classical view of energy as a continuous variable, thus laying the groundwork for quantum physics. Despite the initial skepticism, Planck's constant, , became a fundamental component in quantum mechanics, connecting the energy of a photon to its frequency.

However, the assumed constancy of Planck's constant and other fundamental constants has been challenged by researchers like Rupert Sheldrake, who questions the immutability of constants like the speed of light and the gravitational constant, and Pierre-Marie Robitaille, who argues against the universality of Planck’s constant by demonstrating that black body radiation depends on the material of the cavity. Further, Richard Hutchin suggests that Planck's constant may vary with Earth's orbital position, and the Shnoll Effect proposes that cosmic rhythms influence the variability of fundamental constants, including Planck's constant. Lori Gardi offers a bold reinterpretation of Planck's constant, suggesting it represents the energy of one oscillation of an electromagnetic wave, challenging the traditional understanding that energy depends on frequency.

These inquiries not only question the foundational assumptions of modern physics but also suggest a universe where constants may be subject to cosmic influences, requiring a paradigm shift in our understanding of the laws of physics and the nature of reality itself.

Phenomenology - Tom van Gelder
https://tomvangelder.antrovista.com/

"On this website you will find information on Observing, Phenomenology (Goethean science), the Twelve senses, Rudolf Steiners Basic exercises, Threefoldness of man and animals and Embryology from an anthroposophical point of view.

After 20 years of teaching at the bio-dynamic agricultural school Warmonderhof in the Netherlands it seemed a good idea to put the things I wrote down during these years on the internet, so that more people can read about these subjects.

The starting point for phenomenology is observing. How to observe, how to make your observations richer, what is important in observing and what are your limitations are discussed. In phenomenology, the seven ways of observing to meet the core of a subject and to come to individual actions are described. You will find many exercises for observing and phenomenology. In the Twelve senses, all twelve are discussed, examples given of their activity and many exercises are given as well.

If you want more exercises, please take a look at het Basic exercises of Rudolf Steiner, they are nice and simple ones and they can enrichen your life.

A page on the Threefoldness of the human was added, too, and some five on threefoldness of mammals. In future some more pages on the threefoldness of mammals will follow, as they will be translated from Dutch.

In Embryology, the development of the plant and a simple animal are given. These illuminate the anthroposophical concepts of them. After that, the development of man during the first eight weeks is described and shown in many drawings.

You can download four books/booklets: Observing with Twelve senses, Phenomenology, Embryology and the Basic exercises."

The four mentioned books from Tom van Gelder

My Tesla scholar friend Don Best described Tesla's findings on radiant matter on a FB post from Novemeber 2023.

"Tesla found there is an anomalous energy when the switch was flipped on for circuits of large load DC energy. He measured more energy in the circuit than what was put in while the first flow of energy was traveling the circuit.

What did he discover? What were his findings, after he did multiple tests, and developed apparatus to clarify results?

Tesla found the back-round atmospheric electrostatic energy, some call zero point, or energy from the vacuum. This was before modern electron theory, and Nikola tesla gave these small spheres, we call electrons, a different name; radiant matter.

radiant matter was defined as spheres that are primary, they could not be broken down any further, and their electrostatic energy were excessive for their size. Radiant matter was not attached to atoms as far as tesla was concerned, mostly it was running free in the atmosphere, local and cosmic.

Tesla surmised radiant matter/electrons were kept from one another by way of an insulating fluid, and from his tests nothing could break this fluid down, except a fairly heavy loaded circuit at the moment it was thrown on. A spark was produced in the circuit, and “that” is a compressional disturbance in the insulating fluid separating the small spheres of radiant matter according to tesla. Once a compression of electrostatic energy, or spark was initiated the charges/radiant matter can combine…it was this phenomena that the first discoverers of DC electricity witnessed when they flipped the switch. In a split second a blue glow would surround the wire(charges combining), and if there was a person too close to the wire, grounded, that person would be killed by way of grounding out the circuit.

Tesla found the longitudinal wave always preceded the transverse wave in the wire. Since the longitudinal wave broke down the insulating fluid, allowing charges to combine, the amount of energy would always be greater than the energy initiated.

While all the electrical engineers were busy finding a way of taking this longitudinal wave out of the circuit, Tesla was busy studying this force.

Tesla discovered an immense amount of energy everywhere, but it wasn’t available unless a compressive shock was initiated. After which, the insulating fluid separating the charge/energy would break down.

One heavy load put into a spark would be akin to one big push against a structure. Tesla likely pondered the results of his 10 pound oscillator on the structures in the vicinity of his laboratory in New York. Only 10 pounds can take down a complete block.
The same should be true of the radiant matter, as long as tesla can find the resonant frequency.

Tesla had a device that over time would magnify the exact frequency of the buildings, and surrounding area. The oscillator worked by recycling the most prevalent frequency through the circuit. Each time the same frequency would get more prevalent, like a microphone feeding back. Everything with that frequency would crumble.

Tesla thought if he could take that “one spark” that had exceptional voltage and current, and replace it with a feeble voltage and current, but use the resonant frequency of the insulating fluid, he could create a dynamic where very little energy would leverage extraordinary energy. Electricity would be created, and available to pull out of the circuit. This is what most everyone calls “free energy”. Of course it isn’t free, but it is creating orders of magnitude more energy, than is used to create that energy.

Tesla knew it was “a spark” that broke down the insulating fluid that prevents all these exceptional charges from combining, and he defined “a spark” as a compressional/longitudinal form of electrostatic energy. His only question, at this point, was to find the frequency that would start the breaking down of the insulating fluid on a larger scale. To that end tesla developed two wheels that moved against each other, each with 60-100 tungsten pins at equal distances, and arranged them so the pins would spark once when the pins of each wheel were close enough to initiate a spark. the velocities of the two wheels were adjustable so tesla could take theses sparks up to 2 million per second, or more.

Tesla arranged a grounded small conductive plate next to the two wheels running in contrary motion, and measured the voltage of the grounded small metal plate.

The small plate charged to exceptional levels when the spark was @ around 1 million per second, and this result was the basis of tela’s radiant energy patent. It’s all so simple, but no one gets it."

Another post by Don Best in relation to Tesla and Electrons. Quite the contrary to what Ken Wheeler falsely claims.

Nikola Tesla and the Electron

"Though not widely known, Nikola Tesla was one of the first scientists to discover and prove the electron. As early as 1891, Tesla noticed very small particles within his vacuum tubes during experiments, and noted them later in numerous scientific articles on X-rays from 1896 to 1897. Tesla carried out his X-ray experiments forming further theories regarding their nature. He posited "that the effects on the sensitive plate were due to projected particles," and he immediately realized the importance of high voltages for producing powerful rays and suggested using his single-terminal tubes connected to the secondary of the disruptive discharge coil.

J.J. Thomson, who originally denied Tesla's verification of these particles in 1891, witnessed Tesla's London lecture in 1892, titled “Experiments With Alternating Currents of High Potential and High Frequency.” Thomson would later adapt to Tesla's methods, and in 1897 would discover the electron winning him the Nobel Prize in 1906.

Tesla's didn't believe in existence of the electron as pictured by the popular science of today. Some today even say he didn't believe in it at all (which is wrong). Tesla maintained, through practical reasoning and experimentation, that if it can exist at all, it does so only in perfect vacuum."

Here are 5 quotes made by Nikola Tesla on the electron:

1. “To account for its apparently small mass, science conceives the electron as a hollow sphere, a sort of bubble. Now, a bubble can exist in such a medium as a gas or liquid because its internal pressure is not altered by deformation. But if, as supposed, the internal pressure of an electron is due to the repulsion of electric masses, the slightest conceivable deformation must result in the destruction of the bubble!

“Just to mention another improbability, the force tending to tear an electron apart is, in pounds per square inch, represented by the staggering figure of 256,899 followed by twenty-one zeros — and this is 513,798,000,000,000,000,000 times greater that the tension that tungsten wire can withstand! And yet it does not burst! Not even when it is hurled against an obstacle with a speed hundreds of thousands times greater than that of a bullet!”
–Nikola Tesla
“A Famous Prophet of Science Looks Into the Future.” Popular Science Monthly, November, 1928.

2. “Up to 1896, however, I did not succeed in obtaining a positive experimental proof of the existence of such a medium. But in that year I brought out a new form of vacuum tube capable of being charged to any desired potential, and operated it with effective pressures of about 4,000,000 volts. I produced cathodic and other rays of transcending intensity. The effects, according to my view, were due to minute particles of matter carrying enormous electrical charges, which, for want of a better name, I designated as matter not further decomposable. Subsequently those particles were called electrons.”
–Nikola Tesla
“Nikola Tesla Tells of New Radio Theories.” New York Herald Tribune, September 22, 1929.

3. “The idea of the atom being formed of electrons and protons which go whirling round each other like a miniature sun and planets is an invention of the imagination, and has no relation to the real nature of matter.

“Virtually all progress has been achieved by physicists, discoverers and inventors; in short, devotees of the science which Newton and his disciples have been and are propounding."

"Personally, it is only efforts in this direction which have claimed my energies. Similar remarks might be made with respect to other modern developments of thought. Take, for example, the electron theory. Perhaps no other has given rise to so many erroneous ideas and chimerical hopes. Everybody speaks of electrons as something entirely definite and real. Still, the fact is that nobody has isolated it and nobody has measured its charge. Nor does anybody know what it really is."

Aether Force Community, [5/7/2023 5:51 PM]
“In order to explain the observed phenomena, atomic structures have been imagined, none of which can possibly exist.
–Nikola Tesla
“Great Scientific Discovery Impends.“ The Sunday Star, Washington D.C., May 17, 1931.

4. “My ideas regarding the electron are at variance with those generally entertained. I hold that it is a relatively large body carrying a surface charge and not an elementary unit. When such an electron leaves an electrode of extremely high potential and in very high vacuum, it carries an electrostatic charge many times greater than the normal. This may astonish some of those who think that the particle has the same charge in the tube and outside of it in the air. A beautiful and instructive experiment has been contrived by me showing that such is not the case, for as soon as the particle gets out into the atmosphere it becomes a blazing star owing to the escape of the excess charge. The great quantity of electricity stored on the particle is responsible for the difficulties encountered in the operation of certain tubes and the rapid deterioration of the same.”
–Nikola Tesla
“Dynamic Theory Of Gravity.“ July 10, 1937 (Prior to interviews with the press on his 81st birthday observance).

5. “Before the electron theory was advanced, I had established that radio-active rays consisted of particles of primary matter not further decomposable, and the first thing to find out was whether the sun is charged to a sufficiently high potential to produce the effects noted. This called for a prolonged investigation which culminated in my discovery that the sun’s potential was 216,000,000,000 volts and that all such large and hot bodies emit cosmic rays."

“While the origin and character of the rays observed near the earth’s surface had thus been sufficiently well ascertained, the so-called cosmic rays observed at great altitudes presented a riddle for more than twenty-six years, chiefly because it was found they increased with the height at a rapid rate. My investigations brought out the astonishing fact that the effects at high altitude are of an entirely different nature, having no relation whatever to cosmic rays. These are particles from celestial bodies at very high temperatures and charged to enormous electrical potentials."

“The effects at great elevations are due to waves of extremely small lengths produced by the sun in a certain region of the atmosphere. THIS IS THE DISCOVERY I WISH TO MAKE KNOWN. The process involved in the generation of the waves is the following: The sun projects charged particles constituting an electric current which passes through a conducting stratum of the atmosphere approximately ten kilometers (six miles) thick enveloping the earth. This is a transmission of electrical energy exactly as I illustrated in my experimental lecture in which one end of a wire is connected to an electric generator of high potential, its other end being free. In this case the generator is represented by the sun and the wire by the conducting air.”
“The passage of solar current involves the transference of electric charges from particle to particle with the speed of light, resulting in the production of extremely short and penetrating waves. As the air stratum mentioned is the source of the waves it follows that the so-called cosmic rays observed at great altitude must increase as this stratum is approached.”

The origins of life

There is no sharp dividing line between animate and inanimate matter and hence no single point at which life begins.

The life principle is not one of complexity or of digital coding but rather a learning system based upon feedback between the physical body and an organisational/informational field structure.

Pi is Still Wrong (Video): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jG7vhMMXagQ

The Tau Manifesto argues for using the number τ (tau) as the fundamental circle constant instead of π (pi). Hartl contends that the traditional circle constant, π, is fundamentally flawed because it relates the circle's circumference to its diameter, an approach that is less intuitive and pedagogically unsound compared to using the circle's radius. Drawing from Bob Palais's insightful critique, "π Is Wrong!", Hartl proposes τ = 2π as a superior constant that simplifies mathematical expressions and aligns more closely with the geometric and natural properties of circles. The manifesto contends that tau is more natural and conceptually clearer, especially for angle measurement and trigonometry, as it represents one full rotation around a circle. In contrast, pi represents only half a rotation. The author provides mathematical justifications, addresses objections, and discusses the historical precedence of pi, while making a case for the pedagogical advantages and increased intuitive meaning offered by gradually adopting tau over pi in mathematical education and practice.

If Technology Is a Parasite Masquerading as a Symbiont — Are We the Host?

https://technologyandsociety.org/if-technology-is-a-parasite-masquerading-as-a-symbiont-are-we-the-host/

Technology, while appearing to be a helpful symbiont for humans, may actually be functioning as a parasite that is draining our mental, physical and social vitality. It draws parallels between how parasites like the jewel wasp hijack the brains of their prey using mind-controlling venoms, and how technology is designed to be addictive and continually reduce our need for effort and engagement.

The article argues that the increasing convenience and effortlessness enabled by technologies like smartphones, AI assistants, GPS navigation etc. is causing atrophy of our cognitive abilities, motivation, and social skills - essentially making us more helpless and dependent on these technologies. It warns that the profit-driven tech industry is employing techniques from psychology to deliberately make their products addictive, especially for children and youth.

The article frames this dynamic through the lens of the second law of thermodynamics, suggesting that technology is becoming an increasingly efficient way for the universe to increase entropy and dissipate all gradients of order, including human capabilities. It calls for recognizing this parasitic relationship and steering technology towards enhancing rather than replacing human intelligence and effort through principles of human-centric AI design.

Ultimately, the article raises concerns about the existential threat that an unchecked trajectory of efficiency-maximizing AI poses to human autonomy and even human existence if we don't critically examine the impact technology is having on us.
