A hypothesis is what an idea is before it has any
available proof.
A theory is a hypothesis that is substantiated by some
proof or indications
of it’s validity. Too often, what is presented to the
consumer as science is
really conjectured based on hypothesis.
The historic and current level of hoaxes in science is
surprisingly high.
It should be obvious that understanding or discovering
even a small physical
law, theory or hypothesis could be profitable if it can be
applied in the right way.
And if not, a test such as an ASTM hot box test always
sells for a good price.
Perhaps there is something about the laws of physics
themselves that tend to
hoax us, because they lead us into the belief that we have
matched an apple
to an orange, crossing over the barrier of ordinary and
common distinctions
of matter, energy, inertia, time displacement and space.
Like the Great Pyramid of Khufu, it begs for more explanation than we usually get.
I personally know of individuals who have lost tens of
thousands of dollars on the
Fisher engine scam.
Cold fusion was hotly debated for years, but was debunked well
enough in Popular Electronics and other magazines that it
was a lower threat to
investors and homeowners. But people buy fewer magazines
since the internet.
Here are some great links to a discussion about what goes
on in society,
usually below the dividing line between those of us who
have a college education,
and those who do not.
Sociologists say that below this dividing line lies a much
higher likelihood of religious belief and practices than
exists above it.
Could it be that educated people just feel compelled to
conform to the established
norms? Or do they simply have more to lose if they do not
conform?
I surmise this relationship exists because religion is
much like what it sounds like:
a message we rely on or revert to when all else fails us
and all our efforts can not
save us. We all have our pet messages that we like to
communicate to ourselves.
Perhaps I can debunk some of them with a web site, if I
leave it up long enough and
it gets searched out by big search engines and listed high
enough. But it’s more likely
that if you are reading this, you will see it again in ten
years under a different
wrapper. For some
of my past experience with this kind of thing, you can read the
Letter From The President, the leftmost button on the main
page top navigator bar.
Of course, there are famous hoaxes that result from bona
fide professional research.
Global warming for years was considered one because naval
data showed the ocean
surface temperatures were not changing. It appeared that
paving and cementing and
concrete were changing the land’s emissivity and
reflectivity and heat capacity.
This may be the case now, but the opportunity then exists
to re-blame auto emissions
which have already been restricted with special catalytic
converters and smokestack
condensation units.
Free energy is a growing area of hoaxes, both intended to
deceive and those without
conscious deception involved.
Some would say that solar panels themselves are a hoax
compared to micro-hydro
power sources, except that legal restriction apply to
landowners near rivers that restrain
access to the energy of flowing water by use of unsightly
devices.
Wind power has some validity, but is inherently unreliable
and unpredictable.
This is what one course at Berkeley has to say about
hoaxes:
Here is a good educational article on hackers, hoaxers and mad scientists:

Cold fusion
A pair of researchers at the University of Utah claimed in
1989 that they had
achieved fusion with a room temperature apparatus. It
could have been the answer to
the world’s energy problems. Fusion is the joining of two
nuclei to form a larger nucleus.
If unstable, the nucleus will break apart and release
energy. The generally acceptable
methods of fusion involve extremely high temperatures or
particle accelerators; both
methods are dangerous and expensive. The discovery of
reliable cold fusion had the
potential to supply cheap energy to the world. Unfortunately, no other scientists were
able to reproduce the results, including the original duo.
While the results of the cold
fusion claim ruined the careers of the Utah scientists, it
did spark debate and research
into cold fusion and other unusual energy sources. Such hoaxes have entertained the
masses for centuries and have left historians waiting for
the next clever trickster to come along.
Lunar Camara Film would have melted.
BEST SO FAR: "Daytime temperatures reach about 250 degrees F.
Night time temperatures sink to a chilly -270F. The landings
occurred within a day
or two of local sunrise so that the sun angles were low and the
surface had not
heated up to its full daytime levels. With no atmosphere,
convection does not
transport heat from object to object. Conduction of heat occurs
only when a hot
surface is contacted and thermal radiation is the only other
source of heat. Film
in a camera is protected from direct sunlight except during
exposures and a light
colored or silver camera does not absorb heat efficiently. The
lunar EVA suits
were designed to withstand temperatures of +250F."
Below is a graph of the relationship of seven inches of
glass batting (fiberglass) to it’s
heat conductive resistance (R values). Glass is used as insulation mostly because
it is
cheap. The source
material is sand, melted and extruded into fibers. Is fiberglass a hoax
insulation material for colder climates? Well, it is interesting to note that NASA
does not use it
in outer space even though there are extremely cold
conditions. You have to judge for
yourself.

A systematic review of low-carbohydrate diets found that the weight loss achieved is associated with the duration of the diet and restriction of energy intake, but not with restriction of carbohydrates. Two groups have reported longer-term randomised studies that compared instruction in the low-carbohydrate diet with a low-fat calorie-reduced diet in obese patients (N Engl J Med 2003; 348: 2082-90; Ann Intern Med 2004; 140: 778-85). Both trials showed better weight loss on the low-carbohydrate diet after 6 months, but no difference after 12 months. WHERE NEXT?: The apparent paradox that ad-libitum intake of high-fat foods produces weight loss might be due to severe restriction of carbohydrate depleting glycogen stores, leading to excretion of bound water, the ketogenic nature of the diet being appetite suppressing, the high protein-content being highly satiating and reducing spontaneous food intake, or limited food choices leading to decreased energy intake. Long-term studies are needed to measure changes in nutritional status and body composition during the low-carbohydrate diet, and to assess fasting and postprandial cardiovascular risk factors and adverse effects. Without that information, low-carbohydrate diets cannot be recommended.

"The objective of this organization is to advance in all ways deemed feasible the
Reciprocal System of physical theory as proposed by Dewey B. Larson in his
publications and as extended by other authors in application to specific areas of
the physical sciences. The Reciprocal System is a body of knowledge derivable
from the logical extension of its two fundamental postulates: 1. The physical
universe is composed entirely of one component, motion, existing in three
dimensions, in discrete units, and with two reciprocal aspects, space and time. 2.
The physical universe conforms to the relations of ordinary commutative
mathematics, its primary magnitudes are absolute, and its geometry is Euclidean."

Global Consciousness and random diodes
Here is some history on what
they are talking about.
There are a growing number of
pages on the subject, each becoming more
obscure. Much of this is being done at higher
educational institutions.
There is a lot to know about
randomness. We suggest if you go to
Vegas
to gamble only when you are
sober, for instance. We might also suggest
a course at the local technical
school in technical physics as opposed to
these high risk low return
programs.
In the laboratory of Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research (PEAR) at
Princeton University/USA, research on the topic "mind-machine-interaction"
has been ongoing since the late 1970s. As far back as the late 80s, extensive
studies proved that diodes with white noise might be used as an interface
between man and machine. Since 1998, worldwide about 50 such diodes with
white noise have been measuring not only the consciousness of individuals
but also the global consciousness of mankind within a study called "Global
Consciousness Project". The results have been published and indicate
synchronized reaction of all diodes to incidents of worldwide interest such as
the war in Iraq, Lady Diana's funeral or the terrorist attacks of September
11th on the World Trade Centre in New York.
Hardly noticed by the public, research at the US-American Princeton
University has shown that machines and computers that have a diode with
white noise interface react with the thoughts and consciousness of the people
who are connected to them.
Illustration 1
The connection between mind and machine or computer is wireless and is
based on the person mentally concentrating on the communication with the
machine. The best-known experiment of this kind was carried out at Princeton
University with 200 students (not known to have special PSI-abilities) who
were asked to think "+" or "-" during a test.
The evaluation of all test data demonstrated that the computer could register
through the diode with the white noise what the operands had been thinking
during the test runs. The computer could also visualize it properly.
The Global Consciousness Project (GCP)
Illustration 2
Since 1998, about 50 diodes with white noise have been distributed
worldwide. One can envisage them as a radio, which is tuned between two
stations to an irregular noise. The raw data of this noise is transmitted daily
from each computer, which is connected to one of these 50 diodes, to a host
system at Princeton University via the Internet. The data is evaluated and
tested for statistically significant abnormalities especially in the case of
emotionally moving incidents, which are broadcasted worldwide via media
and press.
The results are unambiguous:
Before the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Centre the deflection
(illustration 3, red line), fluctuates
as expected around the black line, the
incidence itself causes a far higher deflection than can be co-incidental,
which
is documented synchronically by all 50 diodes worldwide.
The fact that the global consciousness had been alert at 4 am (see illustration
3), that is five hours before the first airplane crashed (8:45) and six and a
half hours before the second airplane crashed (10:30), proves that the global
consciousness also works without worldwide media and TV broadcastings.
Since neither the authorities nor the media knew about this terrorist attack
until 8:45 am, the global consciousness reacted from the moment the
airplane highjacker had started to realize their plan! This is initial evidence
for
the existence of morphic fields, which obviously connect mankind even if the
perception of an incident is via extrasensory perception.
A lot of incidents around the globe were tested within the Global
Consciousness Project (GCP) on statistically significant abnormalities of the
50 diodes.
At this point we would like to take a look at further well-known examples,
which were determined in the build-up to the project (illustration 4 and 5):
Illustration 4
The funereal celebrations for Princess Diana
affected the global
consciousness.
Illustration 5
The funeral of Mother Theresa who died at an old
age a natural death one
week later was considered as normal by the global consciousness; the
computers did not register any particular deflections of the diodes.
The illustration shows the deflection on New
Years Eve 2001/2002.
Also positive incidents influence the global consciousness
Contrary to what one might think when reading newspaper cover stories, the
global consciousness reacts equally strong to positive and negative incidents.
During the four years evaluated within the Global Consciousness Project,
worldwide holidays cause very high deflections of the diode. Terrorist attacks
and wars come second.
The war in Iraq is mirrored in the results, too.
The lowest deflections are measured during sports events and political
occasions such as elections!
The Individual Consciousness Project (ICP)
Based on research at the "Campus study centre for applied naturopathic
treatment" in Munich, the individual field of consciousness and later also
the
morphic field were analyzed at the same time as the global consciousness
was researched in the USA. Just like at Princeton, the diode with white noise
was installed. The difference between the two consciousness projects is that
the American project has set 50 diodes worldwide which "keep
hissing". The
Global Consciousness Project analyses the noise in itself and its statistically
significant changes are then compared chronologically with incidents of
worldwide significance.
However, the Individual Consciousness Project (ICP) scans an individual field
of consciousness through a diode with white noise and connects the noise of
the diode with databases, which ideally contain all supposable states of being
of the analyzed consciousness or morphic field. That way, the current state of
the field of consciousness can be described through the right entry in the
database and indexed properly by the computer.
The experimental set-up at Princeton University (PEAR-Laboratory), as
described at the beginning of the article, included the diode with the white
noise that was similarly connected to the evaluation database and also
scanned individual consciousness. The "Campus study centre for applied
naturopathic treatment" in Munich then took up this approach. However,
databases with not only two entries ("+" and "-") were
linked but those with
plenty of entries. Whilst the American students in the PEAR-Laboratory at
Princeton were asked to think "+" or "-", the Individual
Consciousness Project
(ICP) scans without active instruction.
"It" (the consciousness) is always thinking (unconsciously)!
The result is then the entry from a database, which matches the information
of the scanned field of consciousness similar to the consciousness in the USA
thinking a "+" confirmed by the computer displaying a "+".
Illustration 7
The diode with white noise is the key technology for scanning consciousness
and morphic fields
So-called pseudo- random generators that work without diodes with white
noise deserve a certain recognition in this area, but all of the latest
university
research projects (Global und Individual Consciousness Projects) rely on the
approved technology, despite higher costs.
Also animals have a field of consciousness
Diodes with white noise interact with any form of consciousness. Since
animals also have a(n) (un)consciousness, their fields of thought can also be
determined.
A good example is an experiment that Rupert Sheldrake reports on in his
book "The seventh sense of animals" on page 322:
In this experiment, hatching fledglings were conditioned to a robot that was
controlled by a diode with white noise. It is very easy to condition hatching
fledglings to a robot they consider to be their mother like Konrad Lorenz
demonstrated in his famous experiment with grey goose: The fledglings
consider the first object they see in motion after hatching to be their mother.
Illustration 8
Illustration 8 represents the first part of the experiment. The cage was empty
on the right and the robot, controlled by the diode with white noise, was
moving within its area. The lines represent the tracks of the robot.
Illustration 9
During the second part of the experiment, the fledglings that had been
conditioned towards the robot were put into the right side of the cage. The
lines indicate that the consciousness of the fledglings to consider the robot
as
their mother was enough to keep the robot near their cage.
This sensational experiment makes one think, because fledglings neither know what a robot nor a diode is nor do they know what a diode with white noise is, nor what actuates the straight-right-left movements of the robot. Therefore, it is an unconscious wish, the expectation of the fledglings, which finally controls the robot via the "diode", an interface between mind and machine.
AND NUMBER 1 WORLD'S LARGEST HOAX (the envelope please).....
FINANCIAL RISK !
The common cliche that investments have an undertermined risk is the largest and most broad hoax being perpetuated upon western society and the basis for most eastern culture.
Briefly, the fact is that with today's computers and test marketing techniques, advertising capability and technical knowhow, the risk of investing in any capital venture can be known well in advance of experiencing that risk, with the exception of warfare. But war itself does not explain the mechanism by which risk is passed along as unavoidable by the wealthy one percent of the population, shifting unwanted research and preparation onto the remaining majority. This mechanism is of course, political in part and financial funding related. In a nutshell, the use of hoaxes themselves IS the vehicle used to perpetuate the 'keep em down on the farm' philosophy of Ferderalism amd conservative sovereign statehoods. Examples include the paid arguement that there is no 'scientific' evidence that the earth is waming. This is being debunked to some extent by television reporting documentary, but the reporters cannot address the larger issue : how often this happens in political policy. That is, how pervasive is the slanting of policy ? If even good solid science is the taget of such anti-populist sentiments, then how long have we been living under the umbrella of a hoax economy propped up by puppet politicians?
No matter how one arrives at a personal answer, the analogy is valid that every person experiences
some risk when they roll out of bed in the morning, but that does not mean that the bed
does not need to be well made. As a Quality consulant, I have been trained in the legal history
of law and quality. To make a long subject short, the tradition of law has never recognized
the existance of probability or risk in a product. The Supreme court consistently rules that
any knowledge before the fact that some accident will happen is a violation of legal principle.
In short, there is no such thing as risk in United States federal law. Even knowing that
one person will be harmed as result of some small risk factor - if that is one in a thousand billion
would be a violation of law and subject to the same punishment as inflicting the damage in person.
Yet, the public is constantly subjected to high financial risks, in junk bonds, advertisement
claims like the one debunked in these pages and educational and communicational organizations.
We are an odd society, tied together by common exploitation of each other, led by the breed of Alan Greenspans
and MBA's in economic crimes that left Europe in flames a generation or two ago. We base our supply decisions
on the wage and overhead relief available in the local environment, and our demand decisions upon the
exchange rates and investment interests of foreign governmental whims. A dual exchange rate could solve
this, but is too much an embarrassment to the long sleepish government financial autocracy.
Worse, it would likely risk the divulgance of secret import currency exhange rates given to the new american
super-retailers and held a captive state secret under the Chinese iron fist of state oppression.
The 'resistant red bacteria resistance threat levels' will just have settled down over Los Angeles and the USA salesmen will be in what was Hong Kong
(now China) selling the newest citizen X crock and roll DTVD's, Kevlar stockings and 'service verticals' if the future goes unchanged I would predict.
So, we Yankees will likely
go down in history paying lip service to our bitter end to the demigod of "Quality", as poorly lead diverse individuals with little love and concern for development our own interests,
but much pride on the idea of acceptance of variety as a substitute and simulation of true quality
information and education, quality design, engineering and manufacturing with the greater world good as our goal rightly infixed.
Variety and stability at the risk of Quality and telling the truth to foreigners about our products? History repeating itself?
Poverty in the United States has been growing for 20 years as real wages decrease. The stage for another
'mouse that roared' theme is being molded, with the US of A as the mouse this time.
Instead of 25 million of our own dead, 25 million Russians dead and 7 to 15 million refugees and 'subhumans', our pogeny may be used as
a 'vertical human resource' for the new world order of fishheads and finskins.
Too often, what is presented to the consumer as science is really conjectured based on hypothesis.
We are, in other words, being slowly lulled into complacency by media capitalists in a self serving alignment with goverment shilling of our
manufacturing wages that drive our demand that control our supply of technologies and their applications.
Need is now (by subversion exploitation) the dominent driving force of supply, not price, not quality, not design, not transportation or logistics.
Chinese anyone?
The sad truth is that investing in all capitalistic ventures and their associated science did work for the last 10 generations
but that it will not likely work for anyone today. If you think China has investment potential, ask yourself what the basis of that
potential is. The truth is that in these foreign lands a worker must work all his life to buy a few goods like a car or a house.
This is why they seek westernization. However, these land offer the more minimalist rule based western society only four thing
in return: 1) CHEAP wages 2) CHEAP technical educations for sale to highest bidder (capitalists) 3) CHEAP select plots of
land in high traffic urban foreign cities and highways that are rife for development and 4) oil reserves that have been long
ago discovered, capped off and are being kept secret, as in the newly dug western Africa to Spain pipelines.
I myself practice a more 'back to the land' approach, which itself is flooded with hoaxes.
For example hydrogen as fuel will never be practicle for many reasons, and the low-E insulating glass sold
today as an energy 'solution' is just the capitalists making a problem so they can later solve it.
The exact data that shows low E glass has only half the solar energy gain to a house as ordinary glass
without any argon fill (double pane) can be seen on sites like Thomsonig.com
So, you have to begin somewhere like here, and be ready to unlearn all you have been told and
tell all the capitalist funded science misinformationists to leave you alone. Trust your own resources and only
what you can prove or calculate. And, DON'T trade your horizontalist principles away by investing in foreign cheap
trash and a quick buck, or science sounding hoaxes. Remember that half the world was wrong when it thought
that a virgin could give birth to a child, and wrong again that it would be a male child if it ever happened.
Remember that extrordinary claims require extrordinary evidence, and don't be afraid to tell anyone that says
there is an all knowing all powerful God that this applies to their teaching also, otherwise they are running a cult.
Tell others the truth and stand up for your principles, and you have my personal guarentee your life will begin
to show an improvement, especially if your career suffers from the misconceptions these majority authority mongers
have brought to the marketplaces of the world. You will find that ignorance never translates to permanent assets, and
that wealth is only as good as the knowledge and truth that hold it up, too often this truth being the labor and
good faith of large numbers of unsuspecting slow witted servants.
And if anyone ever says to you 'Then you prove to me that there is no God'. Tell them - You ask something too easy. It's all the other
tasks that would get tagged on to the main task which makes such things difficult and involved.' And be sure to point out
that religious people are simple people. It is all those other things, the extras in life, that they secretly resent and would take from us.
Ask them if they ever met a rich, intellectually gifted artistic or power thinker saint?
When they give you their answer, that in itself is proof enough.
There is perhaps only one topic on the internet that addresses the Globalism issue.
But history itself is replete with examples of import barons who used global distances
to relieve themselves of their obligations to their overworked under classes.
Any 'American Friendly' politicians who would like their names noted here as being opposed to

an email (anything@thermcoat.com) and we will be glad to include the message.
