China’s Sputnik Moment Kindles a New Spark of Hope for the World
By Matthew Ehret It was once believed in the west that the future would be beautiful, just, and as plentiful as it was peaceful. Under John F.

On July 17, 1975 the first international handshake was occurring in space between Russian Cosmonaut Alexei Leonov and American astronaut Thomas Stafford as the first official act kicking off the…
Atomic Physics and Macrophysics: How Breakthroughs in the Atom Affords Us Freedom to Explore Space
As humanity progresses towards higher forms of development, enormous amounts of energy are going to be required. In the developing nations, which host most of the human population, this has become an urgent necessity. On a different level, conventional fuel used in rockets and photovoltaic cells used in satellites will not suffice to power mankind’s…
Will Entropy Define the New World Paradigm?

Goethe, Newton and the physics of colour
By Dr. Pehr Sällström Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, the well-known German author and poet was born in 1749 and died in 1832, which is the same as to say that he lived during a period of intense development of the foundations of chemistry and electricity. Two relatively young sciences that have since had thoroughgoing influence…
The Plasma Universe and Max Planck’s Musical Space-Time Revisited
By Matthew Ehret Near the end of 2019, signals arrived to Earth from the Voyager 2 spacecraft which have shaken the foundations of modern physics, and brought into question what are the forces and principles shaping the space time of stars within galaxies (and implicitly galaxies within clusters of galaxies). The data which NASA scientists…
What does LIGHT tell us about the INTENTION of the Universe?
Is light a particle or a wave? Is it both, or is it something more? In this presentation, Rising Tide Foundation director Matthew Ehret revives the fight between the two opposing schools of science featuring the Cartesian ideologues and materialists on the one side and the creative minds of Kepler, Fermat, Huygens and Leibniz on…
Towards a Culture of the Noösphere: Gigantic Shadows of Futurity Part I
By Aaron Halevy In March of 2011, Italy celebrated its unification’s 150th anniversary, and during the major ceremonies, Verdi’s Nabucco was performed in Rome’s opera theater. Once the famous chorus piece, Va pensiero was sung, the audience applauded loudly and demanded an encore. As the applause died down, the shout was heard from the audience of: “Long…
