It's about time. 

Thanks, Steve, for the confirmation of what HPB and I have been saying about 
the limitations of reductive materialist scientists -- who study the 
particulars to get to the general, and most of whom still can't see the 
forest for the trees or that the whole is much greater than the sum of its 
parts. 

Well, when they hit on ABC, and put the (absolute) zero-point together with 
its ± (attractive-repulsive) "spinergy" forces and the (relative) "light"and 
"dark" energy hyperspace (and metric space) particle-fields that emanate from 
it -- They'll have the whole picture. It's about time for Blavatsky's 
prophesy to be fulfilled. All we could do is give them the "principles" and 
the logical "images" that cut through the paradoxes they are always bumping 
into. Now, its up to them to fill in the gaps with the new zero to infinite, 
multidimensional-topological-fractal mathematics, along with a falsifiable, 
scientifically predictive theory that can be tested and verified. The first 
step is already there with Superstring/M-brane theory that speaks of ten 
dimensions of space and correlates quantum theory with relativity theory.  
Leon Lederman knows what's coming up -- since we talked about "cosmic 
engineering" when we were in the Signal Corps together back in the 40's. And 
I knew where he was going after checking out of the Army. He thought it was 
all "particles" and I thought it was all "fields," "energy," and information 
networks. (He outranked me, so I couldn't argue with him too much. :-) So, 
I left academia and went into the arts and entertainment world after dabbling 
in engineering and came up with an impractical theory of ABC (then sat back 
and waited for string and membrane theory to catch up)... And, he stayed with 
academia and went on to win a Nobel prize by discovering an intangible 
particle. <{:-)))> Karma plays some funny jokes on all of us.

As they said in the forties, "Keep on trucking."

<<Scientist Predicts Profound Shift in Thinking 

About Universe 

By Johnathon Williams

FAYETTEVILLE -- The universe is big. The universe 

is old. Most of all, the universe is strange, and it's 

about to get even stranger,according to a leading 

physicist. Those are vastly oversimplified versions 

of some of the insights delivered Thursday 

at the University of Arkansas by Leon Lederman, 

a nobel laureate and the director of the Fermi 

National AcceleratorLaboratory in Batavia, Ill. 

Lederman spoke to a capacity crowd in Giffels 

auditorium, delivering a

lecture titled "How Does the Universe Work?" 

The short answer is this: Science isn't sure. Not 

exactly. Not yet. 

One of the great efforts now facing science, 

Lederman said, is to reconcile

Quantum Theory -- which seeks to explain the 

behavior of very 

small objects, such as atoms, electrons and other 

particles -- with the

general theory of relativity -- which seeks to 

explain the behavior of big 

things, such as planets and galaxies. 

Individually, he said, each theory does a nice 

job of explaining its portion

of the universe. The problem occurs when you try 

to combine them. 

"These two things hold up 20th Century Science. 

... The trouble is they're

not compatible," he said. 

Ordinarily, he said, that incompatibility is not 

a problem, since the two

theories apply to different things. But modern 

science supposes a time at 

the beginning of time when everything in the 

universe was condensed into a

single microscopic point. 

This was just before the big bang, an explosion 

that scattered the scalding,

primitive matter and allowed it to cool and 

expand into the universe, 

the galaxy and the planet that humanity now 

occupies. 

Current theories cannot account for that 

environment, or for another, even

more recent, observation about the universe. 

Scientists have supposed for some time that the 

universe is expanding. Now

they suppose that expansion is accelerating. 

The only theories offered to explain this 

acceleration suppose the existence

of a smaller force called dark energy, he said. 

"That's a big mystery. It means there must be 

some new thing out there in

space that's pushing all of the galaxies apart," 

he said. 

"We have this incredible mystery of a new 

phenomenon, and two theories which

don't get along so we can't apply them," he said. 

These inconsistencies and the rate at which new 

information is being learned

through experimental physics and astrophysics may 

soon lead to a huge 

shift in scientific thinking, Lederman said. This 

new theory will likely

change human thinking about the world as 

profoundly as quantum mechanics did


when it was first suggested. 

"So there's a general feeling that something very 

exciting is about to

happen. About means maybe the day after tomorrow 

or maybe five years from

now," he said. 

"We know that the world is fundamentally simple 

and beautiful. We also know

that there must be major discoveries in the air 

which will join the inner

space 

of particles to the outer space of the universe," 

he said. 

Lederman will speak again at 4 p.m. today in the 

same place about science

education in high schools. 

His visit to campus was sponsored by the 

university physics department and

the Arkansas Space Grant Consortium through the 

Robert D. Mauer lecture

series.
