Extractions: I have heard that numerous people have gained an unfavorable impression of my book, "The Conscious Universe" (1997, HarperEdge), as a result of a review published in your journal on Oct. 23rd, p.806. Prof. I. J. Good's review involved factual errors, not merely differences in opinion, and I would like the journal to publish a correction in view of this. In his review (Oct. 23rd, p.806) of my book "The Conscious Universe" (1997, HarperEdge), I.J. Good suggests, based on certain misunderstandings on his part, that something "must be" wrong with my statistical arguments in favor of the reality of psychic phenomena. His inability to reproduce my estimate that 3,300 unpublished, unsuccessful experiments would be required for each published ESP card experiment (to nullify the cumulative outcome) follows from his incorrect assumption that my words "more than", used in connection with the cumulative odds against chance for the 186 experiments listed in Pratt et al (1966, "ESP after 60 years", as noted in my book), could safely be replaced by "approximately equal to." The actual p-value is approximately 10 , to which application of standard methods (Rosenthal, 1991, "Meta-analytic procedures for social research") gives my reported figure. Secondly, Good attributed to me an inaccurate statement actually made by the skeptical psychologist Mark Hansel. I am well aware that combining the statistical outcomes of experiments is not the same as combining the probabilities of independent events, but did not think it necessary to correct Hansel's mistake in a book aimed towards a general readership.

Extractions: It is his lecture at the last annual meeting of Nobel winners in Landau, Germany. According to Haiko Lietz, a science reporter who attended the gathering: "the Lindau conference was very interesting, as one can imagine. Brian Josephson created a big stir. He spoke extensively on cold fusion, and how unscientific attitudes and a publication policy prohibited the field from becoming known in the scientific community. He was the talk of the day. Many students were asking him questions, they were open and interested. Reactions by the Nobel laureates were twofold: Some seemed to be surprised that cold fusion is still around, while others remained silent. Earthshaking shaking claims require earthshaking evidence. Are you saying that such evidence is being suppressed and HAS been for lo these many years ? This stand wouldn't be giving the 'physics community' much credit. Has EVERYONE missed out on the shaking of the earth? How long was required for 'polywater' to become a lost cause?

Extractions: Site Map Is Orthodox Quantum Physics consonant with a Plausible Dualism? The problem of the relation between mind and body is well known as a difficult `world knot'. Over the centuries various monistic and dualistic theories have been proposed, and the subject has had renewed interest as we try to assimilate the implications of quantum physics. These implications may make us re-examine our views of brains and bodies, but it is still not clear what consequences they have for our understanding of minds. We may suspect that quantum mechanics and consciousness are related, but the details are not at all clear. More detail .. In context of Mind-Body Dualism: Henry Stapp home preprints

Extractions: Discoveries Inventions Awards Eiríkr raudi (Eirik the Red) emigrated from Jæren in Norway to Iceland in 981 or 982 in search of a new land. The reason for his departure was apparently some unexplained local murders. From Iceland, Eirik made lots of travels, and on one of them found Greenland, which was soon colonized. But it was his son, Leif, who was going to make the biggest discovery... (see below) The Icelandic born Leif Eirikson, son of Eirik the Red (see above), followed in his father's footsteps and discovered more new land: He found a land he called Helluland (Flatstone Land, probably Baffin Island), then he sailed to Markland (Forest Land, Labrador), and from there to Vinland . The account of his voyage is preserved in Gronlendinga saga. Eiriks saga rauda has a different version: according to this, Leif put out to sea from Norway, in order to sail home to Greenland; he was driven off course, and came to an unknown land where he found self-sown wheat and vine trees. A new expedition, led by Toifinnr Karlsefni, set out for this new land, and in connection with his expedition, the saga calls the land Vinland. Traditions, it will be seen, differ, but they agree that a new land far west in the Atlantic had been discovered. The year is about A.D. 1000.
Superconductor History brian josephson. Another significant theoretical advancement came in 1962 whenbrian D. josephson (above), a graduate student at Cambridge University, http://superconductors.org/History.htm
Extractions: Superconductors , materials that have no resistance to the flow of electricity, are one of the last great frontiers of scientific discovery. Not only have the limits of superconductivity not yet been reached, but the theories that explain superconductor behavior seem to be constantly under review. In 1911 superconductivity was first observed in mercury by Dutch physicist Heike Kamerlingh Onnes of Leiden University (shown above). When he cooled it to the temperature of liquid helium, 4 degrees Kelvin (-452F, -269C), its resistance suddenly disappeared. The Kelvin scale represents an "absolute" scale of temperature. Thus, it was necessary for Onnes to come within 4 degrees of the coldest temperature that is theoretically attainable to witness the phenomenon of superconductivity. Later, in 1913, he won a Nobel Prize in physics for his research in this area. Walter Meissner The next great milestone in understanding how matter behaves at extreme cold temperatures occurred in 1933. German researchers Walter Meissner (above) and Robert Ochsenfeld discovered that a superconducting material will repel a magnetic field (below graphic). A magnet moving by a conductor induces currents in the conductor. This is the principle upon which the electric generator operates. But, in a superconductor the induced currents exactly mirror the field that would have otherwise penetrated the superconducting material - causing the magnet to be repulsed. This phenomenon is known as strong diamagnetism and is today often referred to as the "Meissner effect" (an eponym). The Meissner effect is so strong that a magnet can actually be

Extractions: Pathological Disbelief Summary of lecture by Brian D. Josephson, Department of Physics, University of Cambridge http://www.tcm.phy.cam.ac.uk/~bdj10 Other popular forms of attack are "if X were true we would have to start over again" (as we of course had to do with Relativity and Quantum Theory, and so the argument proves nothing), and then there is the dictum "Extraordinary Claims require Extraordinary Evidence", which has the marvellous feature of allowing the requirements for acceptable proof to be stretched indefinitely as more and more support for a contested claim comes in. Its originator, the late Marcello Truzzi, later decided that his comment was 'a non sequitur, meaningless and question-begging', and had planned to write a debunking of his own creation (5). Ref. 6 takes a light-hearted look at a range of strategies used by critics. In an attempt to promote proper discussion of the issue, I tried in 2002 to upload a survey by Storms (7) to, the preprint server arxiv.org, the natural place for facilitating such discussion, but the moderators frustrated this intent by deleting the review, declaring it "inappropriate" (chemists, being a more robust species than physicists, were permitted to see it on their own server chemweb.com). A breath of fresh air has been introduced into the situation now, with the recent decision of the US Department of Energy to review the research (8); if the reviewers simply look at some of the research going on they will almost inevitably conclude that fusion can take place at ordinary temperatures, with a yield far in excess of the 'almost undetectable level' referred to in Langmuir's lecture.

Extractions: II. Bohm and Hiley characterize the quantum active information of the quantum potential Q on the system point P (e.g. set of particles, classical gauge field configurations on a spacelike surface, or any combination of the latter two) as "rudimentary mindlike". Kieseppa argues that the "mindlike" characterization is not warranted for two definite reasons. First Q has no sources. This implies a kind of covariance of possible representations that destroys the claim of "form dependence". Second, the Bohm quantum non- mechanics of Q -> P is deterministic even though placing the system point P in a desired place in the Q-field is "uncontrollable". That is we cannot control the initial condition for the deterministic motion of P in its configuration space. However, my extension of the Bohm nonmechanics (Hiley prefers use of "nonmechanics" to "mechanics") evades both of Kieseppa's objections. That is, his objections become arguments for my Q*

Extractions: JPL Group Publishes Ideas on Observing Josephson Effects Near the Lambda Transition The "Fluctuations of the Phase Difference across an Array of Josephson Junctions in Superfluid He near the Lambda Transition." by Talso Chui, Warren Holmes and Konstantin Penanen has been accepted for publication by the Physical Review Letters. The Josephson effect, a quantum phenomenon, was largely formulated by the Nobel Prize Laureates Brian D. Josephson and Philip W. Anderson. This phenomenon in superconductors is the basis of the Superconducting QUantum Interference Device (SQUID). Using SQUIDs, researchers have made the most sensitive measurements of magnetic field, temperature, displacement and pressure. This paper is a theory of thermal noise in Josephson junctions, which is applied to the case of an array of superfluid helium weak links. We explain why the Josephson effect is observable in an array of weak links in superfluid He, and not in a single link. This theory is applicable to the design of ultra-sensitive gyroscopes for ground and space based applications.
Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) In 1962, the 22year-old British student brian D. josephson predicted two effectswhich could experimentally verified shortly afterwards. http://www.ptb.de/en/org/2/Inhalte/Josephson/josephson.htm
Extractions: The Josephson effects occur if two superconductors are weakly coupled, e.g. by separating them by an insulating layer of a few nanometer in thickness. Irradiation of this Josephson junction with microwaves (being an electromagnetic wave) creates between the superconductors discrete voltage levels depending only on the ratio of two fundamental constants and the frequency f of the microwaves. These steps of constant voltage are generated at voltages V n n = 1, 2, 3, ... denotes the number of the steps, h the Planck constant and e the elementary charge. The term Josephson constant K J is nowadays used for the quotient 2 e h instead of its reciprocal value for historical reasons. By means of Josephson junctions, voltages can be reproduced with relative uncertainties of less than one part in ten billion (1 : 10 , i.e. 1 nV at 10 V). The Josephson effect is therefore world-wide used as a basis for constant reference voltages in metrological national institutes and in calibration laboratories of industry. As the Josephson constant is not known with the needed accuracy, the same agreed value is used everywhere for these purposes, which is named
