This is the (possible) culmination of premonitions I've been having about the future of science for about 30 years. My ideas often come to me in a flash, almost fully formed. Sometimes I read something in a science magazine which gives me a feeling that it's incredibly special for some reason. Then I think about it for a few hours and end up writing down things that are insanely ridiculous according to present science (but I have no doubt everybody will accept them in the future). My latest article - I shouldn't call it mine because it feels like knowledge that belongs to the whole universe throughout all time - began with explanation of instant intergalactic and time travel which I then adapted into a scientific explanation for how magick spells work and how sex changes can be performed using only the mind. This last example relies on something which stimulates the emotions, and shows that emotion can be used to stimulate the mind's reasoning processes (of course, any medical doctor will tell you that it has only stimulated ridiculous insanity in my mind - a preconception reinforced by my lack of a university degree, or any formal qualifications beyond high school).

Operators, as both conceptual and physical entities, are found throughout the world as a common feature of human mind, nature and society. As a reflection, operators are the basic tool in physics, quantum chemistry and genetics, playing an important role in other sciences. Operators, and what they operate, their substrates, targets or operands, have a wide variety of forms, functions and properties. We systematize and study operators which range from the most abstract formal structures and symbols in mathematics and standard logic to real entities, human and non-human, and are responsible for effecting changes at both the individual and social level. The emphasis of this paper is on the analysis and characterization of relations between natural operators and operators in science. This allows us to explain the success of the operator approach in physics.
By focusing on the nature and properties of operators in science and technology, we also acquire a possibility to achieve a more rigorous logical discussion of cognitive processes in the knowledge-centered information society. In this paper, we build an extensive classification of operators, demonstrate abundance of natural operators, explain how information operates in nature, analyze operators as a theoretical tool and describe to what extent a machine can be an operator. Studying self-operation, we explicate common features of several important phenomena, such as self-organization, self-regulation and self-management. Among our conclusions, we conjecture that the natural-social operator split provides a key criterion for determining what entities may be considered autonomous, morally responsible agents.

Often, and especially in the last days, there is who talks about a Universe which appears from “nothing”; but does talking about nothing make any sense? Moreover, is it possible to imagine a perfect nothing? We will see that it’s exactly in those questions that one can find the legitimation for the Universe and for the physical consistency of its existence.

The information essence of the Universe dominates over its physical aspect. Its dynamic hierarchic information structure is a manifestation of a divine Mind with its Idea (Intelligence), so the Universe is rational and comprehensible for us. Our individual consciousness as a part of universal consciousness of God deals with information carried by energy. Only consciousness can give the real sense to information coming to us from the objective world through energy supporters. Divine universal as well as our individual consciousness (subject) create the internal side of the Universe reflecting its external side (object) represented by structured quantum energy as a holder of divine information structure and architecture. Information encodes the creative power of consciousness. The physical Universe (non-living and living Nature) with its unbelievably rich information contents is a true food for our senses and our mind in the process of our conscious cognition and creativity.

This paper demonstrates a link between video game playing and time to complete a manual task. We conclude that the playing of 1 hour of video games has a dramatic effect on assembly time, more than halving the time to assemble the equipment, from 8 seconds to 4 seconds.

While "Information" is a good and very general characterization of the fundamental significance of matter, both for the "Tetrahedron Model" and the Universe, it is not quite "active" enough in its meaning to successfully complement and connect to the other three conservation principles of the Tetrahedron Model. "Information" is an energy state or configuration, whereas the Conservation of Energy, Entropy, and the Conservation of Symmetry are aggressively protected conservation principles. Causality is also an actively protected conservation principle, and it connects with the other three in a very profound and illuminating way, as we shall hopefully see below. Meanwhile, although "Information" is to be demoted to a secondary position in terms of activity or action among the "Tetragrammaton" of conservation laws, it obviously remains of first importance as regards the description of the significance of the system in its entirety. It is in fact the potent combination of Causality and Information that makes up matter's "causal matrix" within the conservation domain of historic spacetime, the "Karma" and "Akashic Record" of metaphysical systems of thought. Causality and Information depend upon each other for much of their meaning, but the linkage to the remaining conservation laws is clearer and stronger in the case of Casualty. Finally, Causality necessarily implies Information, but not the reverse. Information therefore remains as a corollary of Causality. Information is a conserved parameter in quantum mechanics and in historical spacetime.

A broad outline of future discoveries concerning the workings of Nature, and of science's reconciliation with religion.
"If a complete unified theory was discovered, it
would only be a matter of time before it was
digested and simplified ... and taught in schools,
at least in outline. We should then all be able to
have some understanding of the laws that govern
the universe and are responsible for our
existence."
("A Brief History of Time" by Stephen Hawking,
Introduction by Carl Sagan)
I saw a video ("Hidden Dimensions: Exploring
Hyperspace") in which it was stated that
mathematicians are free to imagine anything while
physicists work in a very different environment
constrained by experiment, and that the American
physicist Richard Feynman (1918-1988) said
scientists work in a straitjacket. Well, Albert
Einstein (1879-1955) said "Imagination is more
important than knowledge" so let's see what
happens when we throw away everyday tradition
and conformity, let our imaginations fly (while
trying to stay grounded in science and
technology), and thus release science from its
straitjacket!

This book is the companion volume of "Neutrosophic Interpretation of Tao Te
Ching,” its purpose is to extend the foundation and application range of “The
Analects of Confucius.” The reasons for this are as follows. Firstly, we are willing to
point out that The Analects of Confucius already has some limitations, because
many questions we are interested in cannot be answered within “The Analects of
Confucius.” For example, The Analects of Confucius basically discussed the
matters in China, however considering all possible situations it should matter in
foreign countries as well, i.e. the “global village.” This was impossible in Confucian
time. Secondly, if the original The Analects of Confucius is regarded as “The
Positive Analects of Confucius,” its opposite would be “The Negative Analects of
Confucius,” while the intermediate or compound state is “The Neutral Analects of
Confucius” or “The Neutrosophic Analects of Confucius.” Thus, our book presents
the way to extend the original The Analects of Confucius in various neutrosophic
interpretations.

A novel conceptual model is described for time, one that is independent of existing theories. The cordus conjecture suggests that time consists of frequency oscillations of matter. The arrow is applied to time where irreversibility arises. The interconnectedness of matter, via its fields, creates a patchwork of temporal cause-and-effect. At its most basic level time originates with the frequency cycles of the particules of matter and photons. The rate of time is thus determined by the mass of the particule, in turn how it is assembled, from what subcomponents, and the external environment (hence also time-dilation). Thus time is locally generated, and cordus rejects the idea of an absolute clock. The forward arrow is only applied to the ticks of time when irreversibility arises. The paper explains how the irreversibility arises, in terms of the interaction between two volumes of matter and the statistically impossibility of returning all particules in the system to their original positions and states. Thus decoherence, irreversibility, entropy, cause-and-effect, and the arrow of time all arise at the same discontinuity in physics. There is a connectedness between volumes of matter that are at different geometric locations. A phenomena that occurs in one volume is communicated via photons, or massy particules, or fields, to other matter around it. This communication applies cause positional constraints on the recipient. The combination of connectedness, frequency, and irreversibility, results in temporal cause-and-effect. Thus human perceptions of time are a construct, with all the potential for illusion that implies, founded on a real physical principle of temporal causality. Time is a series of delayed irreversible interactions (temporal ratchets) between matter, not a dimension that can be traversed in both directions. Cordus provides a more basic concept of time from which quantum mechanics and general relativity emerge as different approximations. The resulting conceptual model provides a novel integration of quantum mechanics, general relativity, and the human-perception models of time.

A significant problem in education is pinpointing the importance of the information received. This work proposes a model, which argues that we can improve the understanding of the knowledge we are receiving through dividing it in two categories – problems and solutions/alleviations. The expected result of the model is an improved understanding of the knowledge received and its use, through critical thinking, and a way of understanding why the particular knowledge exists. It also provides us an understanding of the form of knowledge.

Defining the concept of science in a manner which allows marking the line between science and non-science has been a longstanding problem in the philosophy of science, known as the demarcation problem. Here we propose a solution which arrests the problem through worldblocking it, that is, we categorize all that is in the world through three categories and leave all the rest as non-science.

This article demonstrates that the 1980 Rendlesham Forest UFO event, the 2002 Crabwood crop formation, and the 2010 Wilton Windmill crop formation are all logically connected. Each event yielded a set of binary data which was decoded using a single image decoding algorithm discovered in part of the Wilton Windmill data set. Remarkably, four meaningful images were decoded from that data set by ordering the data bits in different ways. One image shows a bipedal figure with one arm raised. Another shows the same figure in a different pose with the other arm raised. A third image shows a face with large ears as in a drawing of a bunny in a child's book. A fourth image shows what appears to be a child riding a tricycle. The data set from the Crabwood formation was decoded as a bipedal figure extending a three-fingered hand in greeting. Finally, the data set from the UFO encounter in Rendlesham Forest was decoded as the
profile of a sitting cat or dog. Evidently, a plan was devised before 1980 to deliver the
encoded images, and to allow them to be revealed only in 2010 when the decoding algorithm would be provided. The anomalous flight technologies reported by witnesses at Rendlesham Forest, the
extraordinary methods and technology required to construct the Crabwood formation, and the extremely complicated way that images were encoded in the Wilton Windmill formation, are evidence that an agency with exceptional capabilities orchestrated the events. The symbols of greeting in the images and other benign content convey the message that a meeting is anticipated and that we should not fear it. This further implies that the meeting will be with non-terrestrial entities, else the message would be trivial.

It is believed that the uncertainty relation of momentum and coordinates, as well as the uncertainty relation of energy and time in practice are not observed in the macrocosm. The objective of the work at hand was to demonstrate the existence of general physical uncertainty relations that extend to macrobodies.
A macroscopic object consisting of a rod equipped with a pair of synchronized clocks and a macroscopic object in and of itself performing the function of an ideal physical clock are examined. General physical relations are directly derived from Lorentz transformations for the case of the object's one-dimensional motion (along the X axis) – the uncertainty relation of the object's x coordinate and the projection of its impulse along the X axis, px, and the uncertainty relation of the object's observation time, t, and its energy, E. The relations take the form: ΔpxΔx ≥ H and ΔEΔt ≥ H. The H value in the relation has action dimensions and is dependent upon the precision of the object's clocks and/or upon the properties of the physical clock. Despite the interpretation of the concept of uncertainty being different from that in quantum mechanics, the relations derived in the limiting case with ideal physical clock take the form of ΔpxΔx ≥ h and ΔEΔt ≥ h, where h is the Planck constant.

It reviews key developments of the last 40 years relevant to this issue, such the space shuttle, the National Aerospace Plane, the Russian Ajax effort, nonlinear control challenges, challenges of developing a “skin” to withstand re-entry, current space programs around the world, and key markets for using such vehicles, such as energy from space and space manufacturing.

After the wall of Planck reality as we perceive that “NOW” no longer exists, we are entering a “fifth” dimension the TOTAL SIMULTANAIETY , called TS , we pass the limits of causality at the quantum scale. This non causal side of TS can be “reached” on every point of our 4 dimensional universe, every quantum of the universe has the diameter of 1.616252 x 10^ -33cm, singularities only exist in our consciousness. The other limit of causality is the local speed of light c, where time stands still so there is no more before and after. In TS all information of all parallel universes and multiversity constitution is simultaneously present and available, our consciousness is able to align points out of this TS and so create the observable analogue universe that we are aware of. The totality of information from other universes (also partly observable by other consciousnesses) is influencing our linear causal deterministic universe, the origin of gravity , dark matter and the dark force possible emerge from here. The Big Bang is an imaginary non existing point in the TS area. Inflation is avoided by projecting inflation time into the area after the Wall of Planck, uniformity in the structure of space-time is so guaranteed. Our mind with its 100 billion neurones is able to cope with infinities because it has parallels with the qualities of TS. By entanglement we created our own baryonic universe.

At the present time the USA’s Federal Government spends enormous sums of taxpayer money for Scientific Research and Development (R&D). How to best organize this vast governmental activity, how to best estimate its ultimate utility and profitability (real and potential), how to best increase efficiency of innovation and production, how to best estimate the worth of new discoveries and innovations, how to properly fund R&D of new concepts and innovations, and how to correctly estimate their results are all complex and pressing questions that require answers for further industrial progress and scientific improvements. These are critical macro-problems which because of its scope have evolved into new macro-systems that require a new approach for successful planning of scientific research. The authors consider these major-system problems and offer many remarkable innovations in organization, estimation, suggestions for entirely new research efficiency criteria, development, new methods for assessments of new ideas, innovations in science and industry, and new methods in patenting technology. These suggestions are based largely on the personal experiences of one of the authors, A.A. Bolonkin who worked for many years within the USA’s Federal Government entities (scientific laboratories of NASA, Air Force), and USSR and USA universities and industry.

The process of error recognition is explored first in statistics, and then in science. The
Type II error found in statistical hypothesis testing is found analogous to Karl Popper's "logical
probability" that is intended to measure the likelihood that a scientific theory can avoid its
refutation. Nevertheless, Popper's reliance on deductive thinking is found detracting from his
demarcation that separates science and metaphysics. An improved critical logic for science is
presented that permits error recognition more broadly: for induction by Popper's falsification
principle; but also for deduction and emotionality. The reality of induction creates a limitation for
a science that has not accommodated a fuller menu of error recognition. The reality of induction
places limits of what can be known from empiricism, and this has philosophical implications.

Despite the achievements in different fields of natural science we are far from understanding
our origin. The advancement in this field could not be successful if our vision about the
Universe based on the adopted concept of space is wrong. The present model of expanding Universe
relies on a concept of space adopted at the beginning of past century. Presently, some
experiments and a large number of accumulated observations indicate that the adopted concept
of space is not correct. This not only causes problems in Theoretical Physics, but is also
responsible for the missing connections between Physics, Philosophy and Religion. Physics
based on a new space concept provides a promising expectation for solving these problems while
putting a new light about our origin.

PARADOXISM is an avant-garde movement in literature, art, philosophy, science, based on excessive use of antitheses, antinomies, contradictions, parables, odds, anti-clichés, deviations of senses, against-the-grain speech, nonsense, paraphrases, paradoxes, semiparadoxes, etc. in creations.
It was set up and led by the writer Florentin Smarandache since 1980's, who said: "The goal is to enlargement of the artistic sphere through non-artistic elements. But especially the counter-time, counter-sense creation. Also, to experiment."
Il Paradossismo e' movimento di avanguardia in letteratura, arte, filosofia, scienza fondato sull'uso eccessivo delle antitesi, antinomie, contraddidizioni, parabole, differenze, paradossi. Esso e' stato fondato e guidato dallo scrittore Florentin Smarandache fin dal 1980, quando disse: lo scopo e' un allargamento della sfera artistica attraverso elementi non artistici. Ma specialmente la creazione del contro-tempo, contro-senso. E anche attraverso l'esperimento.

The Sixth International Anthology on Paradoxism
Started in 1980's as an anti-totalitarian protest based on excessive use
of contradictions, antitheses, antinomies, deviations of sense, paradoxes in
the creation process, the paradoxism as a literary movement was rapidly
spread through the creators in the world, finding applications in many fields
(such as geometry, physics, logics, literature), and his founder, University
Professor Florentin Smarandache, Ph D, a refugee from Romania who now
settles in New Mexico State, USA, became a well-known personality.
The actual paradoxist anthology presents, at the beginning, articles and
chronicles in various languages (English, French, Albanian, Spanish,
Chinese, Romanian) about paradoxism and its applications, gathered from
the folklore, from popular jokes, and also paradoxist arithmetic and
geometries, paradoxist images from our today's reality. In the second part
the anthology alphabetically groups 35 authors (translators included) and
their literary paradoxist creations - from countries like Australia, Albania,
Canada, China, Republic of Moldova, Romania, Spain, and United States.

The purpose of this book is to extend the foundation and
application range of 'Tao Te Ching'. The reasons for this are as follows.
Firstly, we are willing to point out that 'Tao Te Ching' already has some
limitation, because many questions we are interested in cannot be
answered within 'Tao Te Ching'. For example, 'Tao Te Ching' basically
discussed the matters in China, however considering all possible
situations it should matter in foreign countries as well, i.e. the "global
village". This was impossible in Lao Tzu's time. Secondly, if the original
"Tao Te Ching" is regarded as "Positive Tao Te Ching", its opposite is
"Negative Tao Te Ching", while the intermediate or compound state is
"Neutral Tao Te Ching". Thus, our book presents the way to extend the
original "Tao Te Ching" in various neutrosophic interpretations.

Attention is drawn to a recent article, which appeared in the International Journal
of Quantum Chemistry, discussing the amount of largely unrecognised structure present in water.
This theoretical article supports and amplifies experimental work published by Benveniste in
the journal Nature in 1988. The possible consequences for a solid scientific foundation for
homeopathy are immediately obvious, although a great deal more work is necessary in order to be
able to present a totally watertight justification for homeopathic remedies.

Complexity plays an important role in all kinds of human activity as well
as in nature. Complexity can be defined in terms of the number of relations that must
be handled accounted relative to the number of potential relations. Modularization is
an efficient methodology that helps reducing the number of relevant relations. It has
the property that it becomes more efficient when the availability and the diversity of
modules that can be coupled. Its efficiency can grow exponentially when modules can be
generated out of simpler modules. In nature this effect leads to the generation of very
complex creatures, such as intelligent species.

While Taoism is based on the union of opposites, Neutrosophy considers the union of opposites
and the neutralities in between them. We thought that Neutrosophy and traditional Chinese
Dialectics may be combined, and establish the Chinese Neutrosophy concept, with its premise
about the existence of the universal absolute main body, whose existence may be theoretically
proven through the establishment of Taoist Natural Philosophy.

Paradoxism can be used in any domain. We can PARADOXISM-IZE (also said To S-Deny) any
theory by partially validating and partially negating it, or only negating it but in multiple ways.
In each case, we put together conflicting ideas in the same theory, whence the paradoxism.
This is the first paradoxist SCIENTIFIC MANIFESTO to be used in the literary work, and the
sixth paradoxist manifesto in general.
By paradoxismizing a <notion> one can get a <pseudo-notion> or <quasi-notion> (for example:
paradoxismizing the norm one gets a pseudo-norm in mathematics, or paradoxismizing the
associativity we get the quasi-associativity in information fusion), but they are still useful in
science.
In this paper we introduce the operators of validation and invalidation (the second one is
paradoxist in nature) of a proposition, and we extend the operator of paradoxismizing (or Sdenying))
a proposition, or an axiomatic system, from the geometric space to respectively any
theory in any domain of knowledge, and show six examples in geometry, in mathematical
analysis, and in topology.

Neutrosophic Logic (NL) is a Theory of Everything in logics, since it is the most general
so far. In the Neutrosophic Propositional Calculus a neutrosophic proposition has the
truth value (T, I, F), where T is the degree of truth, I is the degree of indeterminacy (or
neutral, i.e. neither truth nor falsehood), and F is the degree of falsehood, where T, I, F
standard or non-standard subsets of the non-standard unit interval ]-0, 1+[. In addition,
these values may vary over time, space, hidden parameters, etc.
Therefore, NL is a triple-infinite logic but, by splitting the Indeterminacy, we prove in
this article that NL is a n-infinite logic, with n = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, ... .
Also, we present a total order on Neutrosophic Logic.

To deal with tough issues in knowledge management, the paper reexamines knowledge structure
and has proposed a novel knowledge communication model based on the oriental cultural foundation.
Knowledge discovery is not a simple addition or accumulation of information, but needs a feasible structural
description. As an oriental approach, the paper constructs the structure on the bases of unity of opposites and
their neutralities (as in neutrosophy; neutralities are the included middle of two opposites), which stresses
the individualized self knowledge pattern or self knowledge structure. It signifies the dynamics in
knowledge management - the principle of attraction between opposite natures and the neutralities in
between them. It implies an identity in the opposites which serves as the impartial knowledge (since the
opposites tend towards their neutralities), the completeness of knowledge, which is defined in the paper as
imaginary part of knowledge.

A heuristic argument was presented in favor of hypothesis that
scientific communication corresponds to a process known as
scale-free network. As a result, it is argued that scientific
referencing through citation follows the same process,
therefore it could be expected that this shall also exhibit
fractality as observed in various phenomena associated with
scale-free networks. This argument appears conceivable
because the process of citation involves a decision-making,
coined here as 'citation game.' In this regard, it is
recommended to conduct citation analysis to measure the
fractality of this process. While at present this heuristic
argument cannot be considered as conclusive, further research
is recommended to verify or refute this hypothesis.

Our sense of individual immortality is a consequence of the self-awareness of the Universe caught knowingly in the act of looking at itself through human eyes. I am how the Universe becomes self-aware and experiences itself. The immortality of the Universe is therefore quite naturally intuited to be my own. The Universe is a conservation domain: all parts of the Universe are immortal or otherwise conserved. Our true immortality is the eternal nature of the Universe itself - including its capacity to continuously evolve and create information, life, and self-knowledge.
Human life oscillates between a generalized (genomic) and a specific (individual) expression. The creation of a new human being is remarkably analogous to the creation of a new elementary particle: both processes require a symmetric energy state which recapitulates the original environmental conditions of its specialized domain.

It is due to its asymmetric character, expressed as charge and information, and its entropic drives, both positive and negative, that this alternative form of reality has the potential not just for conservation, but for change, growth, and evolution, even bringing forth life from inanimate atoms. Life evolves to self-knowledge, explores the Cosmos and new modes of creativity, producing new forms of beauty. The four principles of the "Tetrahedron Model" (conservation of energy, entropy, conservation of symmetry, causality) are as much "spiritual" principles of "divine law" as they are "scientific" principles of "natural law". This is another example of the convergence of physical scientific thought and metaphysical, spiritual, or religious thought, of the merging of rational and intuitive world views. The "Tetrahedron Model" represents a fundamental example and iteration of a 4x3 algorithmic hierarchy of fractal models, developed in the context and format of "General Systems". "General Systems" is a synthetic conceptual science which excels at bridging apparently disparate disciplines and world views. I will consider each of the 4 principles in turn.

Because the papers themselves can be difficult for the uninitiated, in spite of my efforts to make them simple and clear, I have written a series of introductory papers designed as a guide to assist the interested reader in working through them. I will try to bring out the main points of the paper, its relation to the remaining body of work, and perhaps make a few comments on its history and structure. There is almost no mathematics in these papers; for the most part, the papers deal only with conservation principles, although of course I make reference to the mathematical theories which provide the formal basis for the conceptual synthesis of this work (Noether's theorem, Einstein's "Interval" and energy relations, the 1st and 2nd laws of thermodynamics, etc.).
