| Editorial 4
June 2009
In our last newsletter we rendered the article by Richard Anderson about
the development in hadron mechanics and the work of Santilli in
developing environmentally friendly energy technology. In our last
editorial we predicted that we here are facing a real break through in
international physics. Santilli received the prestigious price from the
Mediterranean countries in January. And 4-5th of May he was invited as a
main speaker to the opening of the Research Institute for Hypercomplex
Systems in Geometry and Physics in Moscow. We will here render the
opening words of his speech on that occasion:
“We suggest that Russian science should strengthen its beautiful
heritage of independence from the science in the rest of the world. The
suggestion is based on the ongoing crisis in western quantified sciences
(mathematics, physics, chemistry) caused by applications of 20th century
theories to conditions dramatically different from those of the original
conception and experimental verification of them resulting in theologies
beyond plausibility, and the inherent inability to resolve our
increasingly cataclysmic environmental problems ….” (www.Santilli-Foundation)

Half a century ago we were concerned that Russian science lacked freedom.
It may therefore look like a paradox when Santilli here praises Russian
science for its independence. I think this is something we shall enjoy.
Present development confronts humanity with enormous challenges. A
requirement that we may succeed somewhat adequately is that we have an
open science. And this is no matter of course. The words of Francis
Bacon “Knowledge is power” may perhaps more than any others stand as a
motto for the modern age. This means that scientific knowledge today has
become an extremely important factor in the political and economical
power play of today. The struggle for a free and open science today is
especially acute as regards medical science and physics, and it is first
of all relevant as regards new, not yet established fields of research
that may relatively easily be isolated from general insight. Our best
warranty that scientific knowledge shall not be misused, but be
developed for the common good of man, is that it is shared by all parts
involved. It is this which is the meaning of an open science, which is
an ideal for all of us, but which does not always apply to the world of
realities.
It is, therefore, important to all of us, as Santilli emphasises, that
Russian science preserves its independence. That way it may also give a
supporting hand to a Western scientist who is counterworked in Western
countries because he has got into conflict with ruling interests there,
whether these are of academic or other kind. In this connection we shall
not forget the high ethical standard of Russian scientists. When
Brezhnev in 1975 gave his historical speech calling upon the USA to go
together with the Soviet Union in a common prohibition to develop a new
kind of weapons he characterised as an even greater threat to humanity
than nuclear weapons, he acted undoubtedly on advice from leading
Russian scientists. “The reason and conscience of humanity demand that
we create an impenetrable barrier against the development of such
weapons,” warned Brezhnev at that time. This was an invitation to
prevent a military scientific race that might have become an
unpredictable threat to all of us. And although this apparently was not
really understood in the West, the cold war came in time to an end. In
this context we all are in a debt of gratitude to Soviet scientists. Let
us not forget this today in our present state of the world. It may
therefore be meaningful in several contexts to bring mention of two
contributions from more Eastern European medicine in this newsletter.
Mikhail Bazanov comes from Novosibirsk, a stronghold of earlier
Soviet and now Russian science. He has developed a method based on
thermo-photography and vacuum-cupping to a high level of medical art and
a possible stepping stone towards a new scientific theory of medicine,
what we sorely need. We bring here a presentation of his book ‘Mot
strømmen – en ‘vrien’ leges notater’ (Against
the Current – the notes of a ‘tricky’ doctor), which has an
important message to Norwegian medical doctors and health care.
Bjørn Øverbye presents
his first of three articles
about a book by Professor Dejan Rakovic at the University of Beograd
on advanced biophysics and quantum-holographic information theory. This
is an important field of research which is behind the rapid development
of information and bio-resonance medicine in society to day. According
to Øverbye, this book by Rakovic is to day the foremost, really updated
presentation of these research fields at a high academic level.
Science is progressing rapidly and there are more profound and essential
changes in the scientific world view than most of us are aware of. To
whom may we turn to be updated about this? It will be difficult to find
a better and more qualified guide that may give us an introduction to
what may become the scientific world view of the 21st century than Ervin
Laszlo. We, therefore, bring a review of his book from 2004 ‘Science
and the Akashic Field - An Integral Theory of Everything’.
