Earthquake forecasting and Multi-parameter approach for its implementation [Sergey Pulinets Lecture]
On Sunday May 28, 2023, The Rising Tide Foundation hosted renowned scientist Dr. Sergey Pulinets who spoke on the topic of a earthquake forecasting, with a look to the various array of precursors (chemical, astrophysical, electromagnetic, radioactive and more) that must be held in mind when forecasting likely future earthquakes. Previous lectures within our Science…
Vernadsky and the Directionality of Progress (Towards a Science of Humane Development)
In this Rising Tide Foundation lecture, Sam Labrier introduces the discoveries of some of the most important thinkers of recent history whose insights into the structure of reality provide the greatest answers to the questions: Is there a directionality in the universe? Does order govern chaos or visa versa and is there a scientific law…
Optical Biophysics, Galaxy Formation and You
Is the universe living or dead? Is living matter just an isolated cased of anti-entropy within an otherwise entropic universe, slowly dying a heat death? Is space empty or saturated with an animating principle? Are the laws of the macro domain truly separate from the atomic domain or are there unifying principles that unite both…
V.I. Vernadsky and the American System in Russia

A Look Into Halton Arp’s “Peculiar Galaxies” and its Implications for the World We Live In
By Matthew Ehret National Geographic Magazine recently covered a widely publicized scientific study which supposedly proved how and when our universe would die. National Geographic stated: “Physicists believe that countless billions of years from now, after all the stars have burned out, the universe will be a cold, dark expanse where nothing of interest happens,…
The End of Closed System Geopolitics and the Rise of Open System Development- Vernadsky’s Law for the 21st Century
By Matthew Ehret It has become popular today among the scientific community, to proclaim as a matter of fact, that the universe is ultimately governed by death and decay on the large scale and randomness on the microscale. While it is rare that this chilling popular theory is explicitly stated in such direct terms as…
The Light of Life: An RTF Discussion with Dr Michael Clarage
Whether we are thinking about the radical materialism prevalent in our model of the atom, space time or life itself, a more holistic, rigorous and truthful restoration of scientific practice will have to occur if the discoveries future generations require of us will not be un-necessarily sabotaged. This Rising Tide Foundation seminar deals with the…
Vladimir Vernadsky’s ‘Scientific Thought as a Planetary Phenomenon’
Over the past two months, The Rising Tide Foundation has hosted a series of workshops exploring the powerful mind, works, discoveries and political effects of the great Russian biogeochemist Vladimir Ivanovich Vernadsky (1863-1945). We began by working through Vernadsky’s 1938 Scientific Thought as a Planetary Phenomenon in three sessions followed by three additional sessions of…
Dr. Luc Montagnier and the Coming Revolutions in Optical Biophysics
By Matthew Ehret On February 8, 2022, Nobel Prize winning virologist Dr Luc Montagnier passed away. Since the earliest moments of COVID-19’s appearance, Montagnier was slandered and ridiculed for his challenges to the underlying assumptions of the disease’s causes and remedies despite the constant slings and arrows of the deep state which sought to shut…
