An Inconvenient Truth: Climate Change

Should nature prove otherwise, we must avoid cries about global warming echoing lies about WMDs, and bypass the trap of possible wrongful association from the outset. Better to set the goal of a sustainable energy future upon the defensible foundation of a preference for replacing non-renewable resources with green renewable resources, than upon an unprovable theory of man made causes of global warming. Never confuse correlations with causes, and never confuse consensus with truth. Global temperatures may fluctuate unpredictably, but oil reserves will run out.

An Inconvenient Truth: UFOs

"If a million people believe a foolish thing, it is still a foolish thing." - Anatole France.

Consensus holds no monopoly on the truth. It is human nature to seek validation of our beliefs and prejudices over accepting the truth. Dozens of ideas submitted to President Obama's Citizen's Briefing Book advocate UFO disclosure, and many more comments proclaim that we can handle the truth. If it is not what we expect to hear, can we really handle the truth? Many of the ideas and comments already anticipate disclosure of the existence of extraterrestrials, but what if the truth about UFOs is far more exotic, but mundane? Let's put our ability to handle the truth to the test.

"A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it." – Max Planck

Consistency between theory and facts is a far better predictor of truth than consensus. A consistent and comprehensive scientific explanation does exist of a natural, albeit rare, cause for genuine UFO phenomenon, and I'll bet you can't handle it. First of all, you can't handle it because the idea is unfamiliar. Familiarity breeds understanding, whereas ignorance is self perpetuating. The natural explanation for UFOs is: antimatter meteors. If you haven't stopped reading you are already in the minority. My bet is secure. So for the rest of you, let me explain how antimatter meteors are consistent with most if not all observed UFO phenomena, and then I'll explain why each UFO vested interest won't accept it as the truth.

Antimatter Concepts

Matter is composed of protons, electrons, and neutrons. Antimatter is composed of the antiparticles of matter: antiprotons, positrons, and antineutrons. Particle-antiparticle pairs exhibit equal and opposite properties of electric charge and magnetic moment, but identical mass. Mass and energy are equivalent from Einstein's famous equation, E = mc², where energy equals mass times the speed of light squared. A particle-antiparticle pair annihilate each other and produce two gamma rays, high energy photons above the range of x-rays. In the other direction, pair production is the transformation of energy into a particle-antiparticle pair.

No Debris Remains at Crash Sites

When antimatter meteors enter Earth's atmosphere, electrons annihilate positrons, protons annihilate antiprotons, and free antineutrons decay into positrons and antiprotons, which get annihilated as stated above. The end result is that the mass of antimatter meteors is completely transformed into energy and leaves behind no physical trace to retrieve as evidence.

Reflective Metallic Surface

Electrons are attracted by the electrostatic force to surface positrons of antimatter meteors, but electrons repel each other by the same force. In Earth's vicinity, electrons form a reflective bubble around antimatter. Valence electrons give metal the look of a mirrored surface. Mirrored orbs fitting this description appear in NASA video taken during STS-37 and STS-51A shuttle missions. The electron bubble appears to pop and reform in the STS-51A video revealing this bubble like property.

Cloud Like Surface

Water molecules are electric dipoles. The negative end of water vapor dipoles is attracted to positrons, which are positive. When antimatter surface positrons are annihilated they leave behind antiprotons, the positive end of water vapor dipoles is attracted to antiprotons, which are negative. Water vapor therefore condenses around antimatter meteors that then appear cloud like in high humidity environments. In low humidity environments like Mexico City the metallic surface phenomena prevails.

Glowing Lights

When matter and antimatter annihilate each other the result is ionizing gamma radiation. Gamma rays are outside the visible spectrum, but with Compton scattering air molecules absorb and emit photons of specific wavelengths. The result is aurora like light effects in the vicinity of antimatter meteors glowing in the emission spectrum of air molecules, predominantly nitrogen and degenerate atoms due to annihilations down to hydrogen.

Energy Beams

When electrons are annihilated in the air surrounding antimatter meteors the residual positive ions become electron attractors. When electrons flow toward this positive electric potential a cascading electrostatic discharge happens in the form of lightning. Electrons flow through gas in florescent and neon tubes and stimulate the emission of photons, which is the same process in air around antimatter meteors due to electrostatic discharges. Electrostatic discharges will occur between ground and an antimatter meteor, or between a person standing on the ground and an antimatter meteor, or between an antimatter meteor and an airborne object.

Passengers Seen on Board

Any human observer looking at a spheroidal antimatter meteor surrounded by an electron bubble will see a distorted smaller image of themselves. Look at the back of a spoon bowl for comparison. The reflective quality of some UFOs has been described as a dull metallic gray finish, rather than shiny like a spoon. The shininess is a factor of the electron bubble density.

Windows Seen in Crafts

The reflective electron bubble will reflect anything in the surrounding environment. At night, people on the ground will see reflected lights around them. At night streetlights, car headlights and taillights, and light showing through building windows reflect in the electron bubble giving the impression of windows in an airborne craft. Regularly spaced streetlights give the impression of regularly spaced windows.

Disrupting Electronics

Because antimatter positrons annihilate electrons, an antimatter meteor near the Earth's surface will disturb electric ground and disrupt electric currents. When an aircraft is hit by lightning the electronics are interrupted. This is a similar effect. Ten ballistic missiles malfunctioned at Malmstrom Air Force Base in conjunction with the report of a "glowing red object" overhead, which is consistent with an antimatter meteor disrupting electric ground in a localized area.

Radar Reflections

Electromagnetic radiation does not distinguish between matter and antimatter. A metallic antimatter meteor will reflect radar microwaves. However, an electron bubble surrounding a non-metallic antimatter meteor will also reflect microwaves, but the electron bubble can pop and reform making radar reflections erratic. Over time a stationary antimatter meteor will dissolve by annihilations and disappear. See hovering and breakneck accelerations below, also observed on radar.

Hovering

Hovering is commonly observed in insects, hummingbirds, and helicopters. But also consider a bird or balloon riding hot air thermals. Particle-antiparticle pairs exhibit opposite values of electrostatic charge, positive and negative, and magnetic moment, north-south pole alignment. For symmetry to fully apply, and in agreement with UFO observations, matter and antimatter may also exhibit opposite values of gravitation, gravity and antigravity.

When a matter meteor enters Earth's gravitational pull, it accelerates and burns up due to air resistance and exhibits a debris tail. In NASA STS-80 space shuttle video a bright UFO enters frame and into Earth's atmosphere, decelerates, hovers and then adopts the rotation of the Earth above cloud level. A second UFO suddenly appears from nowhere in center frame and follows a parallel course. The distance between the object and space shuttle camera is greater than the distance between Seattle and Portland, a three hour freeway drive. No debris tail is observed.

Matter antimatter annihilations produce gamma radiation and explain the sudden appearance and continuous brightness via Compton scattering of a far away object, after the antimatter meteor enters Earth's atmosphere. Deceleration is explained by antigravity and air resistance. No debris tail is explained by annihilations rather that vaporizing disintegration that matter exhibits.

Matter gravitationally attracts matter. By symmetry, antimatter must gravitationally attract antimatter. The gravitational force between matter and antimatter must be one of three possibilities: attracting, repelling, or nullifying. Observational evidence indicates that UFOs somehow resist gravity. Opposite symmetrical electrostatic and magnetic properties are the rule in particle-antiparticle pair production. Opposite symmetrical gravitational forces are not outside the realm of possibility, and are consistent with the observed properties of UFOs.

Breakneck Accelerations

At the level of protons and electrons, the electrostatic force dominates the gravitational force by orders of magnitude in the range of ten to the thirty-sixth, or a billion times a billion times a billion times a billion. When sufficient antimatter positrons are annihilated by electrons, the remaining antimatter antiprotons are negatively charged. In the vicinity or a large negative electrostatic potential like the Earth or lightning, predominantly antiproton antimatter is electrostatically repelled far beyond the comparatively weak gravitational force of the Earth. Breakneck accelerations are often reported in the vertical direction away from the Earth. Jet Stream air currents, wind shear, and micro-bursts can propel antimatter to enormous speeds by just going with the air flow. Antimatter meteors are not immune to air resistance, but seek equilibrium within their surrounding medium like a balloon.

Right Angle Turns

Atmospheric air currents are layered. Hot air balloons navigate but vertical displacement out of and into these different air currents, which cause changes in direction. In addition, antimatter meteors exhibit antigravity properties, which we observe as frictionless motion like an air hockey puck floating on a cushion of air. Out-gassing or electrostatic forces can impart a transverse impetus to the direction of travel making right angle turns possible, which does not violate Newtonian laws of motion, since a transverse force is responsible. The intensity of gamma radiation produced by matter antimatter annihilations makes antimatter meteors appear larger and closer than they need to be to remain visible. Momentum is a function of mass. The momentum of a small mass antimatter meteor is easier to redirect than a larger mass.

Flying Saucer Shape

Some UFOs appear saucer shaped with a bulge in the center. Magnetic field lines around an antimatter ferrous asteroid take on the configuration of the Van Allen radiation belts around Earth. It is therefore possible that electrically charged particles trapped in the toroid shaped magnetic field lines appear to represent the surface of a saucer shaped craft. Alternatively, when antimatter meteors break apart antigravity binds the antimatter pieces together, while collectively opposing gravity. Therefore the antimatter pieces can take on a rings-of-Saturn configuration. Form an electron bubble around this internal structure and you get a flying saucer shape.

Formations

Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 broke up into a string of smaller comets and collided with Jupiter in 1994. An antimatter meteor can be composed of any chemistry found in matter. An antimatter meteor can break up into many formations: a string of beads, mutually attracting bodies like a solar system or ring held together by antigravity, or mutually repelling objects like a star burst pattern when the electrostatic charge of ions repel each other by sudden changes as ions are formed or destroyed due to ionizing gamma radiation and annihilations.

Seemingly Intelligent Behavior

The non-ballistic trajectory of antimatter in a gravitational field, subject to air currents and out-gassing, gives the appearance and sense of intelligence where none exists. In the case of antimatter meteors, intelligence resides in the observer or subject, not in the object. Antimatter meteors pass the UFO equivalent of the Turing Test for Artificial Intelligence.

The NASA STS-75 "Tether Incident" is heralded by ufologists as the best evidence for the existence of extraterrestrials to date. Elsewhere in my blog I cross examine this evidence and support my conclusion that video tube and zoom lens artifacts record out of focus foreground ice crystals of water vented from the space shuttle in microgravity subject to solar radiation and shadows, and the human eye confuses luminosity for opacity, which logic dictates is incorrect. For full details see my blog entry.

Ball Lightning

Antimatter meteors are composed of the same stuff as interplanetary matter. In the intense heat of gamma radiation, antimatter comets vaporize into droplets. The increased surface area and therefore air fuel mixture increases the rate of annihilations and ionizing gamma radiation produced. The result is a hovering, glowing, sputtering object that produces heat from gamma radiation and emits light by Compton scattering. Ball lightning rides air currents but exhibits antigravity properties like that postulated for antimatter.

Crop Circles

The initial description of crop circles is a circular depression of crops. Ionizing gamma radiation destroys cellular structures and molecular bonds. Over exposure is lethal to biological organisms. Weakened plant stems then crumple to the ground. More complex crop circle patterns are therefore man made hoaxes, which have been demonstrated.

"Alien" bodies

Ionizing gamma radiation causes burns worse than sunburn. First, second, and third degree burns increase in severity, and can be lethal. So called crash victims suffer third degree burns. Some people experiencing close encounters suffer radiation poisoning. Antimatter meteors appear like shiny Christmas tree ornaments surrounded by glowing lights. Bodies are invariably described as short, which is consistent with children that curiosity killed.

Mutilated Cows

Most people seek shelter at night, whereas herds of cows are not sheltered at night. The night sky is exposed to meteor strikes. Antimatter is indigestible, so any living organism eating or being hit by antimatter is doomed to mutilation.

Abductions and Lost Time

Antimatter meteors disrupt electrical processes including biological nervous systems. Getting struck by lightning can stop a heart, breathing, and brain activity. A concussion can interrupt the mental capacity to store long term memory. This gap in memory can never be restored. The human mind fills in mental gaps to supply the missing information. False memories are the result. The initial cause is interruption of brain activity, which can be caused the disruption of electrical processes of the brain by antimatter meteors.

Secrecy

Government cover ups of UFOs have taken on many forms over the years. At first UFO phenomena was misunderstood. The Air Force mandate to protect American airspace was violated by UFOs. UFOs killed humans by gamma radiation, and the bodies were recovered and examined. At that stage the motive behind the UFO cover up was to stave off public panic. All evidence was sequestered to determine the truth about UFOs. When the truth of antimatter meteors was uncovered, secrecy took on a new mission. More secrecy surrounds antigravity research than the Manhattan project, which created the atomic bomb. Now nations all over the world have nukes. Disinformation surrounding antigravity is intended to prevent enemy states from connecting the dots and discovering that antimatter has antigravity properties, and developing antigravity vehicles.

Motives for Rejection

The truth concerning the antimatter meteor hypothesis is hard to handle for a number of reasons by different vested interests. Here are many of those reasons. "Don't confuse me with the facts. I have my mind made up."

ET Buffs

People who want to believe that interstellar tourists are visiting Earth will reject the antimatter meteor hypothesis since it provides a consistent and comprehensive explanation for most if not all observations concerning UFOs. That leaves little if any reason to support the ET hypothesis.

Whereas the antimatter meteor hypothesis does not preclude the existence of ET, it does commandeer most if not all the circumstantial evidence. Many who want to believe in ET hope that ET tech will save us from ourselves. Antimatter technology may help that cause, however the best possible policy in all circumstances is for us to rely on our own ingenuity to save ourselves.

Skeptics

Skeptics have served in the role of the inquisition for orthodox science concerning the UFO heresy. Ridicule and condescension have been their weapons. On the one hand the antimatter meteor hypothesis does provide a scientific explanation. However, acceptance of the antimatter meteor hypothesis is an admission of guilt that skeptics have served as obstructionists where truth is concerned, which violates the tenets of the scientific method they so fervently defend.

Scientific Peer Review Publications

The requirements for acceptance of a new theory by scientific peer review publications is to prove why the standard model is incorrect, and to provide mathematical proof of an alternate explanation. Antigravity as a minus sign in Newton's gravitational equations is not acceptable. Antimatter can only be contained within a vacuum, and as such is in short supply possibly only located at Area 51 if anywhere on Earth. Therefore the antimatter meteor hypothesis is speculative and as such is rejected by scientific peer review publications.

Astrophysicists

Many a tenured reputation has been built upon the counter intuitive assumption that a disparity of matter and antimatter exists in the universe. The antimatter meteor hypothesis is predicated upon the premise that parity does exists between matter and antimatter in the universe. This calls into question the Big Bang, which has been at the heart of cosmologists' reputation for over half a century. Einstein, for one, never endorsed the Big Bang idea. For an alternate cosmology consistent with the parity of matter and antimatter see my blog and website.

Scientists

The scientific establishment loses face in a big way should the antimatter meteor hypothesis prove true. Confirmation will expose the fact that the hardest of the hard sciences, physics, is not immune from errors of analysis, self deception, and hubris. The Big Bang will come to be known by future generations as this generation's equivalent of the medieval debate over how many angles can dance on the head of a pin. It will shake science to its core. The scientific method will be proven fallible, and common people will come to look upon scientists and scientific theories with skepticism and dismissal, whether or not it is deserved.

Black Ops

The ET debate has served well as a cover for secrecy regarding antigravity technology. The intended target of disinformation campaigns is for any competing group to spend valuable time and resources on dead end technological quests. Bob Lazar claimed that atomic element 115 exhibits antigravity properties, and that he gained that knowledge from classified documents he read at a facility near Area 51.

Corporations

Truth is the enemy of secrecy and vice versa. Corporations rely on patents, trade secrets, proprietary information, and non disclosure agreements to stifle competition. The disclosure that secrecy has prevented the commercial development of antimatter technology, with huge energy saving potential, will raise the question whether government and legal support for corporate secrecy violates the public interest and possibly the very survival of the human race.

UFO Investigators

Full disclosure will threaten the livelihood of these researchers. Self interest dictates that they therefore don't want the antimatter meteor hypothesis to be true.

Cable Program Producers

Many cable TV shows will suddenly have no value when the antimatter meteor hypothesis is generally accepted by the public. The economic interests of producers for these shows will lose earning power.

Conclusions

The antimatter meteor hypothesis may lack consensus, but it is consistent and comprehensive in its ability to explain the observed behavior of UFOs. As such, the antimatter meteor hypothesis is the only viable explanation for UFOs to date. Extraterrestrial vehicles begs the question of underlying technology. Any craft that emits gamma radiation is an incompetent design, which repudiates the probability of intelligent manufacture.

When it comes to making decisions, people routinely choose popularity over rigorous analysis, and familiarity over critical thinking. When the truth is inconvenient, we opt for convenience. CYA is human nature.

However, we measure progress by how well our theories match reality. Suppose the experts have it all wrong. How do we correct entrenched mistakes and overcome inertial resistance? It's not clear science or the scientific method has the answer to that one. It's not clear any other discipline has an answer either. Ignorance is bliss, but now you've encountered an alternate explanation for UFOs. Should you ever encounter a levitating, reflecting, glowing object and despite a temptation to reach out and touch it, recall my advice. Don't. CYA is human nature. Truth transcends context.

Antimatter Meteors

In "The Structure of Scientific Revolutions" Thomas S. Kuhn states that the ability to explain anomalies is a hallmark of a paradigm shift. A modern anomaly is unidentified flying objects that in particular instances resemble the probable properties of antimatter meteors. Let's refer to these as antimatter matter objects or AMMO to avoid any confusion with flying saucer lore. When matter and antimatter come in contact, electrons annihilate positrons, and protons annihilate antiprotons. The result is ionizing gamma radiation, or high energy photons above the range of x-rays. Radiation is an unfortunate term referring to two distinct affects: radioactive decay of subatomic particles and electromagnetic radiation.

First, second, and third degree burns are commonly associated with solar radiation (sunburn), and infrared radiation from fires. Betty Cash and companions suffered from ionizing gamma radiation, during what appears to be a textbook AMMO incident.

What does a matter-antimatter reaction look like anyway? To answer that question let's consider a thought experiment. The chain-reaction that occurs in an atom bomb is nuclear fission. Inside a solid radioactive substance like uranium or plutonium at critical mass the atoms decay into lighter elements and give off neutrons. These neutrons in turn trigger the decay of other atoms, which give off more neutrons. Over time the number of decays increases exponentially causing an explosion.

A hydrogen bomb is triggered by an atom bomb, where heavy hydrogen in the form of deuterium and tritium is compressed by the blast of the atomic bomb producing nuclear fusion. Atoms of hydrogen fuse to become helium and release a tremendous amount of energy in the instant of compression causing an explosion.

Now let's consider solid antimatter in matter air. First the density of air is much less than a solid. Second the reaction takes place where matter and antimatter come in contact, the surface. Therefore, since air is less dense than water, antimatter dissolves much slower in air than Alka-Seltzer dissolves in water. The annihilation process is not exponential, but proportional to the surface area of the antimatter and the density of the surrounding air.

Electrons attracted to antimatter surface positrons also repel each other, so full fledged electron coverage is problematic. However, when electrons and positrons do annihilate, gamma rays are created from the energy. Gamma rays can eject positrons from the surface of antimatter into the surrounding air via the photoelectric effect, or eject electrons from atmospheric molecules that may collide with the antimatter. This can sustain a chain reaction with surface positrons until no more remain. Ridding the surface of positrons makes the surface of the antimatter electrostatically negative, from the antiprotons, which attract protons. Atomic nuclei orphaned by electron annihilations are attracted to the positron deficient antimatter. The annihilation process would proceed along the lines of an oscillating electrostatic field peeling away the surface of the antimatter like the layers of an onion.

Depending on the size of the antimatter meteor we're talking maybe hours, not the seconds you'd expect from an explosion. For a potential real world time estimate on how fast matter annihilates antimatter watch the video at my blog entry: Best UFO footage ever?

Skeptics ask for physical evidence of UFOs, however antimatter dissolves in matter leaving behind only the aftermath of gamma radiation exposure, while the outside-in dissolving process is slower than metal in acid or Alka-Seltzer in water. Therefore, the no debris at crash sites defense doesn't apply to AMMO. People coming in contact with AMMO would suffer from radiation poisoning, overexposure being lethal. Bodies at crash sites could be humans that curiosity killed, no extraterrestrial intelligence required.

The electrostatic force is far greater than the gravitational force. Between electrons and protons this difference is on the order of ten to the thirty-sixth, or a billion times a billion times a billion times a billion, which is a good thing since the electrostatic force forms molecular bonds. This gives antimatter part of its anomalous properties. Electrons are attracted to antimatter positrons, but electrons repel each other. AMMO are observed with a reflective metallic surface. Electrons would form a bubble around antimatter, which is consistent with these observations (see NASA STS-37 and STS-51A artifacts).

The water molecule is an electric dipole. Water vapor would also be attracted to ionized AMMO, which would appear cloud like. An AMMO icy comet would appear like ball lightning. AMMO is consistent with the original description of crop circles. Ionizing gamma radiation causes aurora effects, which is consistent with neon like lights emanating from the vicinity of AMMO, where the color of the lights is determined by the emission spectrum of different atomic elements and molecules in the surrounding air.

From the observed properties of AMMO, either antimatter repels matter or matter and antimatter neutralize the gravitational affects of each other, meaning that antimatter is frictionless in a gravitational field (see NASA STS-80 artifacts). This property is a goldmine for antimatter technology. Frictionless or buoyant vehicles derived from antimatter technology could greatly reduce the energy consumption of transportation on Earth and from Earth into Earth orbit.

At this stage the existence of antimatter meteors is speculative, supported by circumstantial evidence. The up side is low energy transportation. Confirmation of antimatter would undermine UFO skeptics and extraterrestrial believers alike, as well as big bang cosmologists, who advocate a disparity between matter and antimatter.

An urban myth claims that only an extraterrestrial invasion could unify the human race. How about an extraterrestrial opportunity? Harnessing antimatter technology would change the future of transportation. Just imagine the energy efficient delivery of satellites into orbit. Air transportation would never fall out of the sky and crash again, because that would defy the law of antigravity. Antimatter harvested from outer space, safely outside Earth’s atmosphere, will seed a new industry of practical applications for antimatter technology.

NASA needs to accept a new mission to determine whether the existence of antimatter can be confirmed by observations. When verified NASA needs to capture antimatter and work to make it commercially available. Antimatter would need to be sealed in a vacuum surrounded by an insulating layer of matter to embed in future manmade vehicles.

Antimatter Hypothesis: Malmstrom and Vandenberg incidents

Here's a video from Larry King Live where a panel discusses two UFO incidents involving US missile defense systems. At Malmstrom Air Force Base in Montana a "glowing red object" appeared over the base and ten missiles were disabled. An antimatter matter object (AMMO) gives off gamma rays when electrons and positrons annihilate each other. Gamma rays are ionizing radiation. The red glow could be the emission lines of nitrogen, the major constituent of air, or hydrogen, from liberated protons and antiprotons during matter antimatter annihilations. The change in electrostatic potential can cause a localized disruption in electric ground. Since missile guidance systems are electronic a disruption in electric ground could cause the missiles to malfunction as described.

At Vandenberg Air Force Base a missile launch was filmed from a mountain top through a telescope. At the final stage a UFO was filmed coming into the film frame, rounding the warhead, and exiting the frame. A few times the UFO sent a beam of energy at the warhead. The electrostatic force is the most powerful force governing the flight characteristics of an AMMO. The beam of energy could be an electrostatic discharge, like lightning. An AMMO in the neighborhood of the warhead could be attracted by the electrostatic force and when the electrostatic potential was dissipated, due to the electrostatic discharges, the AMMO could head elsewhere.

Antimatter is necessarily extraterrestrial in origin, since antimatter is annihilated in Earth's atmosphere and that explains why no debris is found at crash sites. However no intelligent agent controls the actions of AMMO.

Public Domain Software

“All for one, and one for all,” mights just as well be the motto of the Free Software Movement. The opportunity exists for an exponential payoff when implementing information technology during the Obama administration that will produce a lasting affect. The free software philosophy offers a third alternative to the traditional mix of public and private interests.

The drawbacks of a completely public effort are taxpayer expense, limited resources, and bureaucratic obstacles. The drawbacks of a completely private effort is pay for access, and a closed interface. Neither public nor private approaches provide a truly open interface. In the proprietary software sector software is treated as goods, not as a service. In the free software community software is treated as a service, not as goods. In the free software community programmers get paid by the job, as a service, but the software product becomes public domain. This allows free software to build upon itself, like public domain, peer review science.

By adopting public licenses government agencies can provide the data and interfaces while relying on the free software community to write software that interpret the data. Consumers of public data can range from think tanks and the media, to public agencies and private citizens, but the software must become public domain, so facts can be double checked. With free software, errors of interpretation can be exposed, and bugs fixed, as in public domain, peer review science. Then new software can build upon the old, introducing a multiplier effect and a model for public domain openness and efficiency.

9/11 Dr. Judy Wood Review

George Bush and Dr. Judy Wood both misdiagnosed the pathogens responsible for the destruction of the World Trade Center twin towers, however Dr. Wood does deserve tremendous credit for her courage in collecting and classifying intriguing evidence dismissed or ignored by mainstream investigators. Let's review the case presented by Dr. Wood and consider a natural, albeit rare, phenomenon that is consistent with her findings of molecular dissociation, but does not involve any Directed Energy Weapon (DEW) pathogen.

Traditional explanations fail to address the apparent phenomenon of molecular dissociation identified by Dr. Wood. However, if I am correct, the only non al-Qaeda conspiracy behind the 9/11 attacks is a de facto one resulting from the groupthink practices employed by mainstream science and pseudoscience alike that reject contrary evidence and interpretations outright. Revolutionary science proposes a natural, albeit rare, phenomenon as the pathogen responsible for molecular dissociation, while exposing a systemic failure of the scientific method and of practitioners thereof.

Dr. Wood's continuing investigation adheres to the scientific method, as mainstream efforts focused on treating the symptoms of the twin towers aftermath, while a reputable diagnosis of the disease has escaped identification until now. Was this a conspiracy, something akin to medical malpractice, or simply treating the symptoms of an unidentified disease with no known cure? I accept Dr. Wood's diagnosis of molecular dissociation, but her Directed Energy Weapon pathogen borders on the brink of nonsense. So I present a sensible alternative that is consistent with the symptoms and explains her molecular dissociation conclusion.

In addition, the pathogen I propose also has implications for explaining the present conditions on the planet Mars, where evidence for water exists absent the presence of water, and dust storms obscure large parts of the planet surface for extended periods of time. A Directed Energy Weapon did not create current conditions on Mars. A meteor impact did. The dust created by the twin towers incident also resembles the pumice residue from the eruption of Mount St. Helens. The coincidences between these rare events begs for a universally acceptable, natural explanation. Dr. Wood identified another rare event that also belongs in this group: Hiroshima.

Dr. Wood presented an interesting but misleading analogy, when she likened the twin towers to trees. A tree with a hole in the side does not fall down, as the twin towers did. Although true, the analogy ends there. Where the towers as trees analogy fails is when we consider what conventional wisdom dictates should have happened after the airplanes struck the twin towers. Investigators paid to reverse engineer the disaster concluded that the impact of the airplanes blew insulation off the floor supports. The airplane fuel fires then weakened the floor supports to the point where floors immediately above the fires broke loose and plummeted down slamming into lower floors.

What should have happened according to conventional wisdom after that? The force with which lower floors were hit by collapsing floors from above sheared the bolts holding the floor supports to the primary support columns. In the case of the twin towers the primary support columns were located on the exterior of the skyscrapers, like the bark on a tree. All the floors below, and including the floors weakened by blown off insulation and fire, should have cascaded down the shaft inside the exterior shell and smashed into rubble at bottom, like an elevator in free fall plummeting down an elevator shaft and hitting bottom. Between the floors, compressed air should have blow out the windows to escape, ejecting material like paper and dust in the process.

The final disposition of the twin towers should have been a hollow space between the impact points and rubble at the bottom, where the lower floors were located prior to the incident, and confined between the shell of still standing exterior support columns. Floors above the impact should have remained intact, with a hollow core in between, resembling an empty cardboard box sealed at the top and bottom, or rather a cage since all the windows were blown out leaving holes in the exterior. The distance from the impact points to the bottom is shorter than from top to ground. The discrepancy forwarded between the timing of gravity and the rate of "collapse" incorrectly assumes the top to bottom distance.

However, in the final analysis trees do not act this way, because the wood inside a tree is the primary support column, not the bark. But the inconsistent disposition of the twin towers refutes this scenario. Dr. Wood was on to something, but she never arrived at a universally acceptable solution, which is what I have to offer.

Dr. Wood presented her evidence and conclusions at conferences that were recorded in the following videos.

Judy Wood - 9/11 Search for Truth

Misdiagnoses: Directed Energy Weapon

Based upon the evidence she collected, Dr. Wood concluded that the World Trade Center twin towers were destroyed by some force leading to molecular dissociation. Dr. Wood claims that after all other explanations are evaluated and rejected only a Directed Energy Weapon (DEW) pathogen remains.

This is a bold statement that can never be proved, without a factual admission of guilt and supporting evidence. Using the scientific method a theory can never be proved only falsified. To expose the logical fallacy of a single explanation hypothesis we need only devise a rival explanation for molecular dissociation. Below I present a rival explanation that is consistent with the evidence and comprehensive in its ability to explain the affects and aftereffects, thus calling into question Dr. Wood's Directed Energy Weapon conclusion.

A Natural Molecular Dissociation Pathogen

To arrive at a natural explanation, we need to go back to basic principles. The organization of electrostatic bonds is what distinguishes the four states of matter from each other, i.e. solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. In a solid the molecules share electrons. In a liquid and gas the molecules do not share electrons. In a liquid like water the molecules are electric dipoles and when aligned properly the opposite polarity of nearby molecules attract each other. In a gas the molecules repel each other, because all the orbitals are full of unshared electrons. In a plasma the atomic nucleus and electrons are separate ions.

The differences between the concrete slab floors of the World Trade Center before and after slamming into each other include surface area, electron sharing, and the conversion of potential energy into kinetic energy. The tremendous amount of released energy concentrated on ripping the molecular bonds of concrete asunder. Once the floors cracked the electrostatic force properties along the fissures changed drastically into an electron deficit along the newly exposed surface area. Confined in space and time this electron deficit triggered a runaway chain reaction, where newly formed positive ions shanghaied electrons away from atoms with weak electric bonds, like hydrogen and metals. The result was molecular dissociation of solids composed of these elements, like steel beams, and concrete which contains the metal calcium. Solids disintegrated into smaller and smaller particulates, which added to a growing positive ion particulate cloud. Positive ions repel each other which caused the cloud to expand. This is what we observed in the twin towers' destruction.

Paper does not conduct electricity well. Consequently, paper and trees survived unscathed, whereas structural beams, cement, rebar, wires, and cars did not. When electrons are shanghaied from metal, individual atomic nuclei become positive ions and repel other positive ions. The metal disintegrated through a process of molecular dissociation, and the positive ion cloud intensified in concentration with this additional matter. No external source of energy was ever required. Lacking a supplemental source of electrons the positive ion cloud continued to grow and propagate on its own.

When concentrated ionic dust landed on buildings or pavement it ate a hole in the structures expanding a gaping wound from the inside out, like a molecular acid reminiscent of the corrosive alien blood from the Alien sci-fi film series. Solids disintegrated and increased the ratio of positive ions. Since solids share electrons, the positive charge of protons outnumber the negative charge of electrons in solids. The positive ions repelled each other and produced the fuming effect. Parts of buildings disintegrated into positive ion fumes.

Not all the dust settled to the ground. Instead the cloud went up because the positive ions repelled each other. At the level of protons and electrons, the electrostatic force dominates the gravitational force by orders of magnitude in the range of ten to the thirty-sixth, or a billion times a billion times a billion times a billion. When ionic dust came into contact with bare metal, electrons were shanghaied from the metal atoms, which changed the composition of alloys and promoted rapid oxidation. Metal beams disintegrated and rusted, engine blocks and door handles disintegrated, cars bodies rusted, the metal in steel toed boots disintegrated. Glass is primarily silica, but glass contains trace elements of metals. Thus, car windows also suffered from contact with the dust cloud. Circular holes appeared in nearby streets, buildings, and building windows.

Fire is oxidation. Cold fire is oxidation with low or no heat. Positive metal ions shanghaied electrons from water to combine with oxygen and discard the weakest molecular bonding element, hydrogen. Oxygen combining with metal ions appeared as cold fire, while nearby paper did not burn.

The twin towers construction allowed the floors to pancake like a piston inside a cylinder. The release of tension in the concrete slab floors allowed the concrete to crumble. The extraordinary result was a runaway chain reaction due to the disproportional electrostatic composition of solids, where positive charge of protons in atomic nuclei outnumber the negative charge of molecular bond electrons. Any exposed metal atoms the ion cloud came into contact with suffered shanghaied electrons resulting in molecular dissociation, which added more positive ions to the positive ion cloud as the runaway chain reaction continued.

Martian Evidence

Long ago a large object impacted the planet Mars. The surface of Mars was vaporized at the point of impact. Some Martian rocks were even ejected into space, coming to rest on the glaciers of Antarctica to be recovered by Earth scientists. However, converting solid rock into airborne debris creates a runaway chain reaction in the form of a positive ion cloud of particles. When this dust landed on the waterways of that ancient water world, metal ions shanghaied electrons from water, released hydrogen protons into the atmosphere, and became rust particles, transforming the exposed surface into a red planet, while ridding the surface of water. Dust, dust everywhere, but not a drop of water remains to drink.

Mount St. Helens Evidence

USGS Photograph taken on May 18, 1980, by Donald A. Swanson
The ash that fell on Eastern Washington and other points downwind of the eruption of Mount St. Helens resembled the fine particulate dust created by the destruction of the twin towers and presumably on Mars too. A runaway chain reaction of a positive ion cloud would render chunks of solid matter into a fine particulate dust. The recorded observations about volcano eruption columns and pyroclastic flows is consistent with the electrostatic repulsion of positive ion particulate matter. The tallest known volcano in the solar system is Olympus Mons on the planet Mars.

Hiroshima Evidence

The energy released by nuclear weapons rips solid matter asunder. The runaway chain reaction of shanghaied electrons generates an expanding positive ion cloud until subatomic particle electric charge neutrality is restored. The force of the initial blast from a nuclear weapon is amplified by the expanding positive ion cloud of particulate matter it generates. The ground looks rusty in this color photograph from msn encarta.

Scientific Method Assessment

Repeatability is a major tenet of the scientific method. Knocking down other skyscrapers is not a viable option. The unique construction of the twin towers with primary structural support displaced to the exterior of the buildings made the twin towers susceptible to this catastrophe, whereas buildings with internal structural support may prove immune by diluting any catastrophic failure in time and space.

Where the scientific and engineering communities failed was in relying on known pathogens to diagnose a rare event, thus fueling theories about misdeeds and a government conspiracy. Toxic side effects continue to linger, because the phenomena produced in the destruction of the twin towers has not been well understood. Dr. Wood proposed an external pathogen in Directed Energy Weapons as the probable cause for the symptoms she cataloged, since her research followed standard operating procedure and only pointed in that direction.

Revolutionary Science Assessment

The contributions provided by Revolutionary Science come from working problems backward, where thought experiments lead to hypotheses, which serve as the basis for sifting through recorded data to find supporting evidence. When I considered the principles underlying molecular dissociation from the standpoint of ripping the molecules of a solid asunder, I determined that the result would be a runaway chain reaction converting solid matter into an expanding positive ion cloud of ever smaller particulates and subsequent chemical reactions like the oxidation of metal ions with water. That made me recall not only Dr. Wood's evidence concerning the destruction of the twin towers, but current conditions on Mars. The symptoms of both events proved consistent with my thought experiment concerning molecular dissociation. The luxury afforded by Revolutionary Science results from explanations born from a standpoint of internal consistency.

Health Hazard Implications

Now that we have a scientific hypothesis, architectural symptoms can be tested, and medical symptoms can be treated. Most of the evidence from the destruction of the World Trade Center has been removed and destroyed. However, the positive ion cloud hypothesis raises continuing hazardous implications. The structural integrity of buildings in the vicinity must be evaluated. The ionic cloud may have corroded structural beams. Also, the positive ions present a clear avenue of investigation into health problems suffered as a result of the incident, and possible treatment options may derive from a better understanding of what really happened.

Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle

The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle is a fundamental insight that exposes the inherent limitations of human understanding and knowledge at the subatomic level. As a simple analogy, imaging a video of a bouncing ball. When we play the video we see the motion of the ball, but when we pause the video, at any given moment, we see the position of the ball in a stop frame. Motion and position cannot be seen simultaneously, since the accurate measurement of motion and position are mutually exclusive, the same as they are in a video. In fact, at the subatomic level the more precisely we try to measure one the less precisely we can measure the other.

Popular representations of the Uncertainty Principle that incorporate the “observer effect” are disingenuous. No observer can exist at the subatomic level. Only measurements can be made, and any object being measured cannot be isolated from the act of measurement nor its surrounding environment.

Let's devise a popularized account of the Uncertainty Principle that eliminates this misrepresentation. However, instead of imagining ourselves as an observer at the subatomic level, which is problematic, let's imagine the subatomic level enlarged to our size, where we must lose our normal senses that do not exist at the subatomic level. It's easy to imaging a bouncing basketball. The basketball is being dribbled up and down, but in the subatomic context we cannot see it, hear it, or feel any vibrations in the floor or through the air. We cannot observe it, but we can measure either its position or its motion or both with innate limitations as to accuracy.

To do this we need to ricochet something off the basketball. A tennis ball will do, but again in the subatomic context we cannot see the tennis ball either. We can only detect when and where the tennis ball lands. We also know the path of the tennis ball, its initial speed, and when and where it started. To do this, a machine launches a tennis ball and it passes through the path of the basketball. The paths of both balls intersect, and we can measure the amount of time that the tennis ball spends within the path of the basketball. The higher the speed of the tennis ball, the greater the precision we can measure the position of the basketball. However, when the two collide, the tennis ball knocks the basketball so hard that the dribble gets interrupted.

By slowing down the speed of the tennis ball, the less the dribble gets interrupted and we are able to calculate more about the motion of the basketball, but as we do this we sacrifice information about the position of the basketball. To detect where the tennis ball lands, we will employ another analogy in our world. To see the result, we will use a digital camera with a variable exposure time. A fast exposure amounts to the fast tennis ball, whereas a slow exposure amounts to a slow tennis ball.

A fast exposure takes a crisp picture of the basketball, revealing greater accuracy in position, but less information about motion. A slow exposure takes a blurred picture, revealing greater information about motion, but less accuracy about position, as represented in these two images.
