Which way for Physics?

An excerpt from a lecture given by Brian Josephson at the 58th Meeting of Nobel Laureates in Lindau (Germany). Armed with compelling evidence that many in the scientific community have a vested interest in discrediting new discoveries which challenge established dogma, Josephson argues that the laws of physics are the consequence of self-organization rather than being derivative of universal laws. This video is the speaker's edit of the original recording by the European Broadcasting Union.

Professor Josephson is a Welsh physicist whose discovery of the Josephson effect while a 22-year-old graduate student

won him a share (with Leo Esaki and Ivar Giaever) of the 1973 Nobel Prize for Physics. He was appointed Reader in Physics in 1972 and Professor of Physics in 1974. He was elected a fellow of the Royal Society in 1970. In addition to winning a Nobel Prize, Josephson is the recipient of numerous awards and medals.

Morphogenetic Fields

http://www.mindpowercourse.com/water_ripples1.jpg
The term [morphic fields] is more general in its meaning than morphogenetic fields, and includes other kinds of organizing fields in addition to those of morphogenesis; the organizing fields of animal and human behaviour, of social and cultural systems, and of mental activity can all be regarded as morphic fields which contain an inherent memory.
—Rupert Sheldrake, The Presence of the Past (Chapter 6, page 112)

Morphogenetic fields contain the information necessary to shape the exact form of a living thing, as part of its epigenetics, and may also shape its behaviour and coordination with other beings.[citation needed] The term morphogenetic field has also been used in a different sense by mainstream developmental biologists, as regions within a developing embryo that will subsequently develop into particular structures or organs. Since the 1920s, mainstream biology has used the term morphogenetic field to mean "that collection of cells by whose interactions a particular organ formed". This usage is distinct from Sheldrake's in that nothing external to the cells themselves is implicated.


In 1981 Rupert Sheldrake outraged the scientific establishment with his hypothesis of morphic resonance. A morphogenetic field is a hypothetical biological field that contains the information necessary to shape the exact form of a living thing. A presentation at the Biology of Transformation Conference in 2007.

World's First Time Machine

http://blog.rifftrax.com/wp-content/photos/Time_Machine__1960_.jpg

From: kellyneill

In this Discovery Science documentary "The First Time Machine," Physics professor Ronald Mallett, PhD reveals that he is on the brink of making time travel a reality. His book, "Time Traveler" has garnered interest from both the scientific community and the general public and funding for his program, known as The Space-time Twisting by Light (STL) project, is progressing.

Full details on the time machine project, Mallett's theories, and a list of upcoming public lectures and links to popular articles on his work can be found at the professor's University of Connecticut web page at http://www.phys.uconn.edu/~mallett/main/main.htm
