Vortexians; I sent this letter to Hal Puthoff and received a thank you note.
The Twin Cities Creation Science Association, http://tccsa.tc/ , set up a meeting with the physicist William Overan last Sunday night.
Bill was one of Otto's (Schmitt) graduate students. Otto told me that nuclear magnetic resonance imaging, was one of the medical technologies that came out of his lab. Bill said that he had worked on it's development. He said that, " changes in the frequency of the charge on the probe, will cause the precession speed of the proton to change." He went on to say that "Quantum Mechanics, QM cannot account for this change, but that Classical Mechanics, CM does."
Bill is a classical physicist. He rejects QM, and Relativity. He believes that the CM, can produce explanations which are just as good as QM, and are much simpler. CM, with it's cause and effect, fits with our Christian world view. Bill contends that QM grows out of a mystical world view, conducive with Buddhism.
Bill has a copy of Petr Beckmann's Einstein Plus Two. In it, Beckmann offers CM explanations for various phenomena, one of which is Taiwa's observation that planetary masses occur at certain distances from the sun. He said that, "Relativity doesn't have an explanation for this, either."
He mentioned The writings of Thomas Barnes, author of Physics of the Future and a text book on electrodynamics. He said that, "Barnes believed in an entrained medium," I assume that means the Aether.
Then he mentioned Charles W Lucas, www.commonsensescience.org , author of A Classical Basis for Quantum Physics. Which builds on the writings of Barnes. Lucas advocates the Ring Model of the atom. Bill mentioned that Lucas' son made models of the rings, magnetized them, in the preferred direction, and suspended them on strings, he observed their interactions. Based on this, he was able to derive the periodic table. Bill found this quite impressive. I mentioned Russell's Cosmogony, which Bill had never heard of, I'm going to see if the Lucas's have heard of it.
Bill mentioned the QM explanation for quantum tunneling, as an example of the sort of mystical explanations for phenomena which the QM world view produces. While he wasn't able to give a CM explanation for the phenomena, he is confident that it would be possible to develop one. He also mentioned -T, which since T2 is positive, QM physicists have concluded that a time travel is possible. Bill characterized this belief as, "nonsense." I mentioned that Otto spent his final years discussing physics with Frank Meyer, emeritus from the Wisconsin State University system. Frank was the president of the association promoting Dewey B Larson's Reciprocal System. I'll always remember Frank saying that. "time is not a dimension, it is a continuum," and "reality is discontinuous." A continuum only goes in one direction. This is consistent with a Christian world view, Rabbi Stan teaches that G-d created a bubble, which has just 7000 years in it. When that period of time ends, we will revert to eternity.
I mentioned a lecture series I'm listening to, in which Chuck Missler is going through Isaiah. Missler mentioned tensor calculus, and the stretching of some of the elements. This applies to G-d's stretching out the heavens. This will allow them to be rolled up like a scroll, as prophecized. Missler pointed out that the medieval scholar Moses Mimomades, came to the same conclusion by studying the shape of the Hebrew letters in Genesis 1. He continued by mentioning Gerald L Schroeder's, Orthodox, book Genesis and the Big Bang. I'm going to put that book on my must read list.
With regards to dating the age of substances, Bill mentioned the use of isotopic analysis of various samples taken from the same deposit, and the use of differential calculus, to determine the material's age, He uses this analysis to support his belief in a world that's at most 15,000 years old. I mentioned the writings of Jeffery Satinover, Orthodox, who just did graduate work in condensed matter, who believes in the 15 billion year age.
I mentioned induced elemental transmutation. Bill mentioned the experiments with chickens which were raised without calcium. An isotopic analysis of the calcium in their bones and shells indicates that the calcium was transmutated from silicon. It amazes me that given the amount of dollars that the world is awash with, and given the limited amount of gold that is supposed to be mined, that the price of gold hasn't gone up way more than it has.
Bill recalled a trip he took to a Navy ship where he fixed a laser gyro, and was explaining how they work. He developed a CM explanation for how the three gyros lock together. I don't understand their operation, I'm going to have to read an explanation of how they work. Investigating this matter is going to be near the top of my list of priorities.
Bill believes in an Aether. I told him about your articles on the subject. I'm going to send Bill your URL.
