8 Economics EIR March 11, 1994 neutrons called "ultra-cold" neutrons, which have opened the door to a entire new branch of neutron research. One brach of science where neutron beams are indispens­ able today, is materials research. Such materials as metals, ceramics, fluids, high-temperature superconductors, ion conductors, semiconductors, and macromolecular materials such as synthetics and rubber, are being tested for their prop­ erties and behavior. Experiments are also ongoing to develop entirely new materials with special characteristics.

Neutrons in materials research In the most simple application of neutrons, neutron radio graphics, the object is examined using neutron radiation in much the same way that X-rays are used. The object is placed into the path of the neutron beam, which is directed at an electronic image-processing unit or a neutron-sensitive film. This technique is applied in the aerospace industry to check soldered joints, glued joints, or to search for corrosion. It is also used to observe the process of binding and drying of concrete, which is important for construction research. The same procedure is applied to seek out flaws in materi­ als or in machine building to check the cooling ducts in turbine blades. Neutrons are perfectly suited for this, because they can easily penetrate metals, but are very sensitive to hydrogen and do not leave any energy in the object pene­ trated, so that virtually no disruption occurs. This is impor­ tant also in the field of art for the inspection of oil paintings, which is being done at the research reactor of the Hahn Meit­ ner Institute in Berlin. In operation since the old nuclear reactor at Garching, Another way to use neutrons is to measure the change 1957, dubbed "the atomic egg," is urgently in need of replacement. of energy and direction of neutrons after they have passed through an object, which makes most minute movements of the atoms in an object visible. Since the wavelength of a neutron is as long as the radius of an atom, neutrons will only be reflected in one direction, if atoms are ordered regularly speed of only 5 mis-about as fast as a person riding a in the object tested. Thus, they will show the position of the bicycle. This is only one-tenth of a trillion parts of the energy atoms within a solid body.

One way is to direct a nehtron beam at copper biophysical research, since unlike X-rays, with their much mirrors rotating around a wheel 1.7 eters in radius.

Physical economy is theba sis of human knowledge

by Lyndon LaRouche

Thefo llowing is the third andfinal part of a series entitled "The Science of Physical Economy as the Platonic Ep istemological Basisfor All Branches of Human Knowl­ edge." Parts 1 and 2 appeared in our Feb. 25 and March 4 issues.

4.0 Economics as the only scitnce I The preceding successive phases of this presentation have prepared us to intro­ duce now observations which many readers will findthe most shocking of all. At least, that will be a rather common initial reaction. We shall present the argument supporting the following such conclusion: that all ,valid human knowledge rests upon demonstrations fo und empirically within the domain of physical economy. As a firststep , situate that proposition within those outlines of a theoryof knowledge (epistemology) which are implicit in our arguments here thus far. Thus far, we have indicated six levels of human knowledge, the five lower among which are accessible in intelligible form as human knowledge. These may be represented in the following order of ascending rank: 1) The lowest, nearest to bestial level: sense-perception, naive, usually irratio­ nal reaction to experience. 2) Formal knowledge, as cohering with the not�on of judgment of experience by means of an axiomatically "hereditary principle." 3) Individual, valid, axiomatic-revolutionary discovery, overturning a body of formal knowledge: hypothesis. 4) An ordering-principle, or Cantorian typ e, generating a succession of valid hypotheses: higher hypothesis. 5) The notion of an in-some-sense orderable rajnking of differing qualities of higher hypothesis: hypothesizing the higher hypoth�sis. 6) Implicit certainty of the existence of a higher, non-temporal order subsum­ ing hypothesizing of the higher hypothesis, as higher hypothesis subsumes hypoth-

Now that we have listed the method of exhaustion, but represents a distinct type of the six levels of what might be regarded as the range of generative principle. This may be described as "the quantum knowledge, we limit our use of the terms "knowledge," or field principle," as illustrated by the use of geometrically "human knowledge," to signify the products of a more or less ordered distribution of singularities by Kepler to determine successful use of consciousness of the intelligibility of the the available orbits and their harmonic relations, or the seem­ three levels of hypothesizing. ingly "magical numbers" prompted to our attention by Dmitri For the case of simple hypothesis, the first, and simplest, Mendeleyev's discovery of the Periodic Law of chemistry. of the three levels of hypothesizing, the implicit relationship The second is closely related to a third principle, per­ to an increase in physical productivity , per capita and per taining to the differences in ordering subsumed by the distinc­ square kilometer, was adequately indicated earlier here . tion between positive and negative curvatures.

Making a killing on the real estate market In 1980, Sharon began an internationalpropaganda cam­ paign to promote such private land purchases. To this end, he began tours of the United States, urging American Jews to purchase West Bank land. A cluster of companies, all tied to Sharon , was formed to channel these international investments, including : Jumbo, whose attorney was Begin's son-in-law Roni Milo; Samaria and Judea, a combine tied to Yuval Ne'eman's Tehiya party , the political arm of the Gush Emunim; and Meteor, owned by a member of Sharon's Shlo­ motzion party , Jacob Avkin. In 1982, Sharon was installed as defense minister, setting the stage for making a killing in the real estate market, by killing Arabs . In October 1982, Lord Harlech of England put together an international combine to buy up the West Bank.

Recently a classic disinformation-peddling book has been published, Critical Mass, by William Burrows and Robert Windrem. Using vivid imaginations, the authors al­ lege that India and Pakistan were on the verge of nuclear war in 1990. The book has been labeled a "big lie" in India by analysts and top military brass. It contains a chapter on how India procured its missile technology. Interspersed with such inanities as that Dr. Homi Babha, the father ofindia' s nuclear program, wanted the bomb (a statement attributed to an un­ named French "expert"), the book goes on to couple India's nuclear power program and space program as exemplary of Delhi's supposed single-minded obsession to become a nuclear weapons state . Of course, the U.S. State Department has been drumming on this theme for years. While the State Department pushed this big lie to previous American Presidents with the ostensi­ ble purpose of imposing sanctions and technological apart­ heid on India, Pakistan, and other developing nations , the same big lie has now been delivered to President Clinton in ,a package marked "gross violation of human rights ."
