Otto Maier like Heisenberg certainly had some most extraordinary concepts in physics and reality. Arthur Young wrote a remarkable book: Reflexive Universe, The Geometry of Meaning, and the important compendium Consciousness and Reality, co-edited with mathematician Charles Musès. Young stressed the nature of intentionality, an area neglected by...

The idea of the importance of coincidences, as such, was introduced by Paul Kammerer in 1920, in his book Seriality, in which he logged a hundred amazing examples. His complex idea intrigued Einstein and was expanded by Carl Jung, who changed Kammerer’s term to the more widely used...
The story of the Goose Girl starkly shows the process that sets out when any one chooses to neglect or simply reject reality. And as a result chooses not to move into action. The Goose Girl, once an exquisite little princess who held tremendous promise, slowly but surely...
In most cultures, there is no clear line separating myth from folk or fairy tale. All these together form the literature of preliterate societies. The Nordic languages have only one word for both: saga. The German language retained the word Sage for myths, while fairy stories are called...
Before the eighteenth century, people crudely measured time. Galileo used his own pulse as a measure. Today, our atomic clocks can measure a time interval as small as one-millionth of a second. (Though we have a word for one-trillionth of a second— pico second —we still have no...
No, don’t press that button … What if all the CERN’s Large Hadron Collider’s woes are more than bad luck and technical problems? Two noted physicists speculate that the future may be pushing back on the Large Hadron Collider to avert the disaster of observing the Higgs boson....
On 4 June 1947, veteran pilot Kenneth Arnold was cruising in his private plane over Washington State’s Cascade Mountains when he saw strange batwing craft in the distance. Afterwards, Mr Arnold likened the sight and motion of the craft to “saucers skipping on the water”. On that day,...
Born in 1856 and raised in the Austrian Empire (modern-day Croatia), Tesla received an advanced education in engineering and physics in the 1870s. He gained practical experience in the early 1880s working in telephony and at Continental Edison in the new electric power industry. Nikola Tesla was a...
The Delphic idiom: gnothi seauton (“Know thyself”), assigned to Pythagoras, carries an extended history in the Western world. It grew to become popular all through of the teachings of Socrates as well as Plato, along with the query to obtain self-knowledge was, from that point on, much more...
Understanding entails being able to detect an internal contradiction: a paradox. Are paradoxes “all in our heads” or are they built into the universal structure of logic? At first sight the idea of knowing what the universe is like, is absurd. American-Canadian neurosurgeon Penfield expanded brain surgery’s methods and...
All life has its secret in dipolarity. This is the possession by a molecule of regions of both positive and negative charge so that it is positive at one end and negative at the other. Without opposite poles there can be no attraction, and no repulsion. Without attraction...
A hundred thirty years ago, a man called Viktor Schauberger was born into his role as a guardian of Lady Nature and the earth. Among the magnificent Austrian forest he grew up wanting only to become a forest warden “like my father, grandfather, great-grandfather and his father before...
