Role of electricity involved in ancient historical records
·
Science and the quest for interdisciplinary synthesis
WHY DID ISAAC NEWTON
CONCLUDE HIS PRINCIPIA BY SAYING THAT HE WAS NOT ATTEMPTING TO SAY WHAT FORCE CAUSES GRAVITY, AND THEN
SPECULATE ABOUT ELECTRICITY AND MAGNETISM AS FACTORS, CALLING FOR EXPERIMENTS
TO TEST THE QUESTION? WHY DID THOMAS EDISON SAY THAT HE THOUGHT GRAVITY WAS
CAUSED BY ELECTROMAGNETIC FORCES?
Is a scientific revolution imminent?
Does electricity, sometimes subtle, sometimes violent,
organize the natural world? Is there a connectivity of all things – from the
smallest "particle" to the largest and most remote structures in
space? World conference INTERSECT 2001 will discuss the role of plasma,
electricity, and electromagnetism in the universe and the evidence for the
connectivity of all things – from the sub-atomic level to the macro level.
Featured
Speakers will include:
Halton
Arp
One
of the world’s most accomplished astronomers, in residence at the Max Planck
Institute in Germany. His findings represent a serious, observation-based
challenge to Big Bang cosmology, conventional ideas of galaxy formation and
theories on red shift.
Anthony
Peratt
- Associate Director for Experimental Programs at Los Alamos, one of the most
respected pioneers in the study of plasma cosmology, will be discussing his
seminal work regarding the role of electrical currents in space.
Donald
Scott
– Professor of Electrical Engineering, retired from the University of
Massachusetts at Amherst, will discuss the electric star hypothesis, in which
stars, including our Sun, are understood to be spheres of discharging plasma,
or ball lightning.
Wallace
Thornhill - Australian physicist who’s synthesis on the role of
electricity in the universe has let to a new, more fully integrated scientific
vision, will present an overview of his “Electric Universe” from macrocosm to
microcosm.
Ralph
Abraham - Professor of
Mathematics, University of California at Santa Cruz, known for his work in the
chaos revolution in Mathematics, author of numerous books and articles he has
been active on the research frontier of dynamics and chaos theory since 1960.
Bruce
Lipton
– One-time researcher, former Professor of Anatomy at the University of
Wisconsin School of Medicine, now author and lecturer, will be presenting his
findings dealing with the "biology of consciousness", demonstrating
how external factors, including personal perception, impact cell viability.
Rupert
Sheldrake - Biologist, biochemist, noted author, Fellow of the
Institute of Noetic Sciences, former scholar at Cambridge University and Knox
Fellow at Harvard. Originator of the concept of "morphic resonance",
which proposes that all life forms, including human, both draw upon and
contribute to a collective species memory. This revolutionary thinker has
probably done more than any other to challenge reductionism in the life
sciences
David
Talbott
- Comparative mythologist, author and lecturer, whose work offers a radical new
vantage point on the origin of ancient cultural themes and symbols. His
research has been the primary catalyst behind the "Saturn Model"
which challenges current concepts of human and solar system history.
