As one of the primary design objectives, the elastic isotropy is of great significance for many engineering applications. However, the prevailing experimental and numerical methods are normally too costly and time-consuming to determine the elastic isotropy of architectured materials with tens of thousands of possible microstructures in design space. The quick mechanical characterization is thus desired for the advanced design of architectured materials. Here, a deep learning-based approach is developed as a portable and efficient tool to identify the elastic isotropy of architectured materials directly from the images of their representative microstructures with arbitrary component distributions. The measure of elastic isotropy for architectured materials is derived firstly in this paper to construct a database with associated images of microstructures. Then a convolutional neural network is trained with the database. It is found that the convolutional neural network shows good performance on the isotropy identification. -
Unity Consciousness: a Quantum Biomechanical Foundation
Theoretical UNITY CONSCIOUSNESS: A QUANTUM BIOMECHANICAL FOUNDATION Thomas E. Beck, Ph.D. & Janet E. Colli, Ph.D. ABSTRACT Citing research in consciousness, quantum physics, biophysics and cosmology, we propose the collective amplification of quantum effects as the basis for scientifically describing Kundalini awakening, and the higher-order, emergent phenomenon of Unity consciousness, Such alterations of consciousness have their origin in quantum-scale processes, such as self-induced transparency, superradiance, superpositions, quantum tunneling, and Bose-Einstein condensa tion, Microtubules are considered to be key components in non-local, quantum processes critical to human consciousness, We postulate that bundles of fibers (neural cells), each containing numerous microtubule "lasers" acting in unison, collectively result in a massive surge of light energy to the brain, The sudden onset and radically altered nature of such states are consis tent with a model based on the activation of a laser.

On the Relation Between a Zero-Point-Field-Induced Inertial
On the relation between a zero-point-field-induced inertial effect and the Einstein-de Broglie formula Bernard Haisch∗ Solar and Astrophysics Laboratory, Dept. H1-12, Bldg. 252, Lockheed Martin 3251 Hanover Street, Palo Alto, California 94304 [email protected] Alfonso Rueda Department of Electrical Engineering & Department of Physics, ECS Building California State University, 1250 Bellflower Blvd., Long Beach, California 90840 [email protected] (Physics Letters A, Vol. 268, pp. 224–227, 2000) Abstract It has been proposed that the scattering of electromagnetic zero-point radiation by accelerating objects results in a reaction force that may account, at least in part, for inertia [1,2,3]. This arises because of asymmetries in the electromagnetic zero-point field (ZPF) or electromagnetic quantum vacuum as perceived from an accelerating reference frame. In such a frame, the Poynting vector and momentum flux of the ZPF become non-zero. If one assumes that scattering of the ZPF radiation takes place at the level of quarks and arXiv:gr-qc/9906084v3 12 May 2000 electrons constituting matter, then it is possible for both Newton’s equation of motion, f = ma, and its relativistic covariant generalization, F = dP/dτ, to be obtained as a consequence of the non-zero ZPF momentum flux. We now conjecture that this scattering must take place at the Compton frequency of a particle, and that this interpretation of mass leads directly to the de Broglie relation characterizing the wave nature of that particle in motion, λB = h/p. This suggests a perspective on a connection between electrodynamics and the quantum wave nature of matter. -
Inertial Mass and the Quantum Vacuum Fields
Inertial mass and the quantum vacuum fields Bernard Haisch Solar and Astrophysics Laboratory, Dept. H1-12, Bldg. 252 Lockheed Martin, 3251 Hanover Street, Palo Alto, California 94304 and California Institute for Physics and Astrophysics, 366 Cambridge Ave., Palo Alto, CA 94306 [email protected] Alfonso Rueda Department of Electrical Engineering, ECS Building California State University, 1250 Bellflower Blvd., Long Beach, California 90840 [email protected] York Dobyns C-131 Engineering Quad, Princeton Univ., Princeton, NJ 08544-5263 [email protected] (Annalen der Physik — Received: 2 June 2000, accepted 12 September 2000) Abstract — Even when the Higgs particle is finally detected, it will continue to be a legitimate question to ask whether the inertia of matter as a reaction force opposing acceleration is an intrinsic or extrinsic property of matter. General relativity specifies which geodesic path a free particle will follow, but geometrodynamics has no mechanism for generating a reaction force for deviation from geodesic motion. We discuss a different approach involving the electromagnetic zero-point field (ZPF) of the quantum vacuum. It has been found that certain asymmetries arise in the ZPF as perceived from an accelerating reference frame. In such a frame the Poynting vector and momentum flux of the ZPF become non-zero. Scattering of this quantum radiation by the quarks and electrons in matter can result in an acceleration-dependent reaction force. Both the ordinary and the relativistic forms of Newton’s second law, the equation of motion, can be derived from the electrodynamics of such ZPF-particle interactions. Conjectural arguments are given why this interaction should take place in a resonance at the Compton frequency, and how this could simultaneously provide a physical basis for the de Broglie wavelength of a moving particle. -
F:\2014 Papers\2009 Papers\Relativity Without Light
Relativity without Light: A Further Suggestion Shan Gao Research Center for Philosophy of Science and Technology, Shanxi University, Taiyuan 030006, P. R. China Department of Philosophy, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, P. R. China E-mail: [email protected] The role of the light postulate in special relativity is reexamined. The existing theory of relativity without light shows that one can deduce Lorentz-like transformations with an undetermined invariant speed based on homogeneity of space and time, isotropy of space and the principle of relativity. However, since the transformations can be Lorentzian or Galilean, depending on the finiteness of the invariant speed, a further postulate is needed to determine the speed in order to establish a real connection between the theory and special relativity. In this paper, I argue that a certain discreteness of space-time, whose existence is strongly suggested by the combination of quantum theory and general relativity, may result in the existence of a maximum and invariant speed when combing with the principle of relativity, and thus it can determine the finiteness of the speed in the theory of relativity without light. According to this analysis, the speed constant c in special relativity is not the actual speed of light, but the ratio between the minimum length and the shortest time of discrete space-time. This suggests a more complete theory of relativity, the theory of relativity in discrete space-time, which is based on the principle of relativity and the constancy of the minimum size of discrete space-time. 1. Introduction Special relativity was originally based on two postulates: the principle of relativity and the constancy of the speed of light. -
Becoming Psychic Is a Good Book—Well Written and Enjoyable—And the Anecdotes Are Interesting
“An intriguing and yummy look at the nature of psi. I love the writing style—it’s so clear, accessible, warm, straightforward, and intelligent. Steve’s [Dr. Kierulff] teaching stories are marvelous and Stan’s [Dr. Krippner] chapters on psi research are a wonderful read. It’s great to hear about some of his classic experiments from his perspective as an investigator.” —Belleruth Naparstek, psychotherapist and author, Your Sixth Sense: Activating Your Psychic Potential “Stanley Krippner is one of the most creative geniuses in our society. His work deserves to be honored and advanced. Everything Stan Krippner ever put his name on is exceedingly worthwhile.” —Larry Dossey, author, Reinventing Medicine “Stanley Krippner is a world-server of the first order. The dimensions of mind, body, and soul have been greatly expanded because of the illumina- tions he has brought to our time.” —Jean Houston, author and lecturer “Delightful! Becoming Psychic is a good book—well written and enjoyable—and the anecdotes are interesting. It’s important to talk about spirituality, caring, and connectedness, and how these relate to the deep parts of our being. Knowing more about psi can strengthen our understand- ing of divine Mystery.” —Jean Burns, consciousness researcher “When Stephen Kierulff presented his social psychological survey of voters’ attitudes about nuclear weapons at an American Psychological As- sociation meeting, I was impressed by his work and invited him to join our Peace Psychology Research Group. He became a regular and active con- tributor to the group and began researching Armageddon theology and its relationship to attitudes about nuclear war. -
A Review of Nonparametric Hypothesis Tests of Isotropy Properties in Spatial Data Zachary D
Submitted to Statistical Science A Review of Nonparametric Hypothesis Tests of Isotropy Properties in Spatial Data Zachary D. Weller and Jennifer A. Hoeting Department of Statistics, Colorado State University Abstract. An important aspect of modeling spatially-referenced data is appropriately specifying the covariance function of the random field. A practitioner working with spatial data is presented a number of choices regarding the structure of the dependence between observations. One of these choices is determining whether or not an isotropic covariance func- tion is appropriate. Isotropy implies that spatial dependence does not de- pend on the direction of the spatial separation between sampling locations. Misspecification of isotropy properties (directional dependence) can lead to misleading inferences, e.g., inaccurate predictions and parameter es- timates. A researcher may use graphical diagnostics, such as directional sample variograms, to decide whether the assumption of isotropy is rea- sonable. These graphical techniques can be difficult to assess, open to sub- jective interpretations, and misleading. Hypothesis tests of the assumption of isotropy may be more desirable. To this end, a number of tests of direc- tional dependence have been developed using both the spatial and spectral representations of random fields. We provide an overview of nonparametric methods available to test the hypotheses of isotropy and symmetry in spa- tial data. We summarize test properties, discuss important considerations and recommendations in choosing and implementing a test, compare sev- eral of the methods via a simulation study, and propose a number of open research questions. Several of the reviewed methods can be implemented in R using our package spTest, available on CRAN. -
A Retrospective on the Journal of Scientific Exploration
Journal of Scientific Exploration, Vol. 18, No. 1, pp. 15–25, 2004 0892-3310/04 A Retrospective on the Journal of Scientific Exploration BERNARD HAISCH AND MARSHA SIMS ManyOne Network 100 Enterprise Way, Suite G-370 Scotts Valley, CA 95066 e-mail: [email protected], [email protected] Advances are made by answering questions. Discoveries are made by questioning answers... Bernard Haisch Abstract—The development and progress of the Journal of Scientific Exploration are described from its initiation to its growth to four issues per year with a circulation that at one stage exceeded 2000. The initial publisher, Pergamon Press, had soon withdrawn, whereupon Haisch and Sims took over all publishing responsibilities, engaging Allen Press as printer and distributor. The Journal founded a Web-site that was also the Society’s only presence on the Web, at a time when few scientific societies had their own Web-sites. Several summer research visits to Germany by the editors also led to the organizing of the first European meeting of the Society. Keywords: JSE—JSE history—SSE history—Journal history—Society history In a brief history of the Society of Scientific Exploration (SSE) published in the very first issue of the Journal of Scientific Exploration (JSE), Society President Peter Sturrock wrote: In 1981, a number of scientists and other scholars in the United States came to the conclusion that there was a need for a new initiative in scientific research. They could identify a number of phenomena that, for various reasons, were not being studied by the scientific community, but were potentially interesting and even important. -
On Bernard Haisch's God Theory
Scientific GOD Journal | May 2013 | Volume 4 | Issue 4| pp. 353-359 353 Pitkanen, M., On Bernard Haisch’s God Theory Essay On Bernard Haisch’s God Theory Matti Pitkanen* Abstract Haisch lists three questions usually regarded as highly non-scientific: Is there really a God? What am I? What is my destiny? As I started to build theory of consciousness, these questions began to make more and more sense also to me. I agree in many respects with Haisch's vision about possibility to build bridge between fundamental physics and spirituality. Where I disagree with Haisch is the notion of ZPE. In TGD all that can be done using ZPE can be replaced with zero energy ontology (ZEO) to achieve the possibility of re-creation without breaking of conservation laws: without ability to generate new sub-Universes God would be rather powerless. Key Words: God Theory, ZPE, TGD, zero energy ontology, Bernard Haisch. Bernard Haisch wrote a book entitled "The God theory". Haisch himself is an astrophysicist who might have become a priest. The book discusses the possibility of spirituality consistent with physics. It also discusses Zero Point Energy (ZPE) hypothesis and the idea that inertia might emerge from vacuum fluctuations of various fields. I agree in many respects with Haisch's vision about possibility to build bridge between fundamental physics and spirituality. The new view about spirituality requires that a lot of horrendous stuff of religions (such as eternal purgatory, the sadistic God of Old Testament killing his own son, blind belief in dogmas, etc...) is thrown away. -
Odd Viscosity
Journal of Statistical Physics, Vol. 92, Nos. 3/4. 1998 Odd Viscosity J. E. Avron1 Received December 8, 1997 When time reversal is broken, the viscosity tensor can have a nonvanishing odd part. In two dimensions, and only then, such odd viscosity is compatible with isotropy. Elementary and basic features of odd viscosity are examined by considering solutions of the wave and Navier-Stokes equations for hypothetical fluids where the stress is dominated by odd viscosity. KEY WORDS: Nondissipative viscosity; viscosity waves; Navier-Stokes. 1. INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW Normally, one associates viscosity with dissipation. However, as the viscosity is, in general, a tensor, this need not be the case since the antisymmetric part of a tensor is not associated with dissipation. We call the antisym- metric part odd. It must vanish, by Onsager relation, if time reversal holds. It must also vanish in three dimensions if the tensor is isotropic. But, in two dimensions odd viscosity is compatible with isotropy. It is conceivable that that odd viscosity does not vanish for many system where time reversal is broken either spontaneously or by external fields. But, I know of only two systems for which there are theoretical studies of the odd viscosity and none for which it has been studied experimentally. In superfluid He3, time reversal and isotropy can spontaneously break and the odd viscosity has three independent components.(9) As far as I know there is no estimate for their magnitudes. In the two dimensional quantum Hall fluid time reversal is broken by an external magnetic field. In the case of a full Landau level the dissipative viscosity vanishes. -
