By Matthew Ehret It has been far too long that science has been constricted by the many absurd assumptions underlying the early 20th century trainwreck that came to be called “standard model quantum mechanics”, sometimes called “the Copenhagen Interpretation” after the birthplace of the school’s founding father Niels Bohr. The most destructive among the many…

What Determines A Limit to Growth?
By Cynthia Chung This is an article version of a class Cynthia Chung gave for the symposium “The Earth Next 100 Years” which can be viewed here. What Determines a “Limit to Growth”? This might seem like a rather ignorant or simplistic question to some. Many will think the answer rather obvious, that the Limit…
The Day the World Stood Still: A Story of the First Atomic Bomb and Our Perpetual Cold War
By Cynthia Chung Thus conscience does make cowards of us all;And thus the native hue of resolutionIs sicklied o’er with the pale cast of thought,And enterprises of great pith and momentWith this regard their currents turn awry,And lose the name of action. – Shakespeare’s Hamlet Act III, scene I [This paper works as a follow-up…
Working Towards the Creative Trinity – How Form Might be Included in a New Physics
In this Rising Tide Foundation lecture, Dr. Michael Clarage introduces a series of anomalies that pull the rug out from under the frail house of cards that is standard theory quantum mechanics, cosmology and even the reductionist biology that supposes all organic traits are the direct consequence of DNA. The rug is pulled by addressing too-often-overlooked…
Changing the Rules of Nuclear Fusion Energy
By Dr. Jonathan Tennenbaum This article was originally published on Asia Times. In recent years, technological breakthroughs and the growing role of private investors have brought new promise to nuclear fusion – the effort to bring the energy source of the Sun and other stars down to Earth. Launched in 2018, the Fusion Industry Association (FIA) comprises…
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…
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…
Marie Curie and the Women who Discovered Atomic Physics
In this Rising Tide Foundation lecture, Magdalena Therrien tells the true story of the incredible women who discovered atomic physics starting with Madame Marie Curie who overcame insurmountable odds to find herself among the greatest minds in science which history has ever seen. Along her path, Marie Curie broke through several glass ceilings (or Iron…
Quantum Mechanics De-Mystified: Uncovering the Sub-Quantum World [Jonathan Tennenbaum RTF lecture]
Is the quantum world truly driven by a-causal randomness beyond the scope of intelligibility as commonly taught? Or is this atomic realm coherent with the intelligible laws of the macroverse and the human mind? In this Rising Tide Foundation lecture, Dr. Jonathan Tennenbaum introduces a potent tradition of research that rests upon the fruitful, though…
Some Additional Words on Today’s Pythagorean Revival- From Bussard’s Polywell to the Safire Project
By Matthew Ehret In my last report, I introduced two opposing schools of scientific thinking that have been at odds with one another since the days of Plato’s Academy at Athens. One system sits dominant upon the throne of today’s western science wearing the garb of “standard model quantum theory” and “standard model cosmology” and…
