I'm going to digress on health issue today because it is such an important problem for the country at the moment. Let's assume that there is a magic cure of all the disease in such a way that we don't need the hospital service anymore. No one is going to be sick and no more health insurance and all of these problems of the government issued health insurance program will be solved.
Actually, there is no such thing as one for all cure for all the diseases.
However, I think I found one that is very close to the one for all cures. I accidentally tuned in to Erskine Overnight radio talk show the other day. I have to credit him for this information. One of the medical doctors he was interviewing had solutions for the problem of the chronic fatigue syndrome that many people have. The medicine that the doctor was talking about was HYDROGEN PEROXIDE!!!!. Wait a minute, that is the common germ killing clear water like liquid used for external wounds only, isn't it? It bubbles up when it contacts the wounds. And its chemical composition is H2O2 which is basically a water molecule with one more oxygen in it. It is so unstable that it immediately dissociates into water and oxygen upon slight thermal stimulation or on contact with other organic germs.
The nice thing about it is that it doesn't leave residue in the body. And most of the germs in the body does not like oxygen. They multiply better in the environment where there is no oxygen. There is a special name for this kind of organism in the body which I can not recall at the moment.
And most of all, the cancer cells do not like oxygen either. In fact, the oxygen kills the cancer cells. Now this hydrogen peroxide not only kills the germs but also kills the cancer cells. What a coincidence!! Most of the antibiotics kills germs but not the cancer cells. Chemo therapy kills cancer cells but not the germs.
To learn more about hydrogen peroxide, I searched Google on "hydrogen peroxide in fruits" to see if our foods may contain any amount in it. Guess what? Most of the fruits (especially the melon) contain hydrogen peroxide and, most of all, mother's breast milk contains a lot of hydrogen peroxide.
Now, it tells why and how mother gives the baby the immunity that the baby needs most at the most immunologically vulnerable time of the infant's life.
What a great information !!!
Of course, any kind of food in excess can be a poison. Even the water can be a poison. Aspirin can also be a poison when consumed in excess. One known exception to this statement may be vitamin C. Linus Pauling is known to have taken 3-5 grams (3000-5000 milligrams)of vitamin C per day and he proposed that it can be a cure for flu, for which he was ridiculed by his peers. But he outlived his critics. In general, it would be a matter of how much that the body can tolerate by carefully monitoring the body's response.
Unfortunately, however, no doctor will prescribe hydrogen peroxide for any of your illnesses. I'm not a medical doctor and I'm not responsible for any misuse of hydrogen peroxide except to inform you that it is contained in the foods we would consider the most healthy we can imagine, that is the fruits and the mother's milk. So, in a way, hydrogen peroxide should be considered as a food supplement instead of a medicine.
Then, why is this information not prevailing among the general public?
The reason is because as Erskine proclaimed in his radio show, "BECAUSE NO ONE CAN MAKE MONEY OFF OF IT!!!". In ancient times, it would have been difficult to make hydrogen peroxide chemically, but we have such an abundant supply of it being sold so cheap in the drug store as well as at the grocery stores.
In fact, I tested it myself and the amount recommended is about one tea spoon of three percent hydrogen peroxide(commonly sold in the drug stores) in a half glass of fruit juice of your choice about two times a day for an adult. And it really makes you feel more energy. I'm a born experimenter any ways. If you are a skeptic, test it with half of a tea spoon first.
What happens is that the human body also makes hydrogen peroxide as a germ killing agent, and as the body gets weakened due to the lack of exercise and/or due to the consumption of bad foods(fatty, too much alcohol etc) this ability to create hydrogen peroxide diminishes and the body becomes weaker. And as you can see this can be the quickest downhill of the body's immune system in terms of removing the cancer cells and all other types of the germ originated diseases.
It is known that the cancer cells are continuously created and killed within the body, it is only when the body's immune system loses the balance that it becomes an exponential catastrophe. Now we can reverse this trend by taking hydrogen peroxide to boost the immune system and by eating healthy foods and doing a lot of exercises. When people are doing exercise they breathe more and they intake more oxygen that can be used to create hydrogen peroxide in the body. All these theory makes perfect sense.
After all, body is a machine that constantly needs oxygen. Google the key words and the links and you decide yourself. It is all there in plain view.
I think the fundamental problem with the current medical industry is that they are not concerned about curing the root cause of the problem in a patient, instead they spend enormous amount of resources to mitigate the symptoms, in such a way that what possibly could be treated by hydrogen peroxide is given twelve different medications to reduce the symptoms without ever giving them a chance of curing it.
We may be now staring at the core corrupt situation where human beings are treated as hostage for money making scam of the gigantic medical industrial complex.
Now, I can get back to the discussion of physics after getting this information off of my chest.
PS; I searched a little bit of more of Google and found out that vitamin C boosts the capability to create hydrogen peroxide in the body. This was the missing link.

My Two Cents on Health Care Issue

Michio Kaku's Absurdity
I normally do not watch or read some physics populist's comments on his/her own view of the universe. But I happened to listen to Dr. Michio Kaku's video commenting in analogy of human society as ants compared to his, so called, level 3 civilization building a high way next to the mound of these "human" ants. This remark somehow irritated my conscience as being a human being. Humans have soul but ants don't. How could he sell off the whole human beings as ants? So, I sent him the following email message because I believe he owes us some explanation.
====================================================
Dear Dr. Kaku,
I had a chance to listening to the video of your comparison of the ants to the humans in regard to some advanced civilization. I think it is a disgusting parable.
Humans are not ants in relation to some advanced space beings.
Humans have soul and probably the intelligence comparable to the advanced beings. We just have short history of science.
You are putting down humans in the level of the ants. You sound like having a great fun or feeling of superiority by making such a statement. You haven't made any solid contributions to the advancement of the human science. You need to grow up or shut up.
You need to learn the real physics I presented in my blog which is exactly the physics of the level 3 civilization you are talking about. And it is here now. Not millions of years away. I hate people hiding their ignorance behind the hyper dimensional multi verse nonsense which they know nothing about.
Dr. Eugene Jeong
====================================================
In physics, if you want to propose a theory, you also have to provide an experimental method that can falsify your "theory". Otherwise, it can not even be categorized as "theory" per se. I think it is possible that the universe may be multi-dimensional. But for such a proposal to become a theory, you have to be able to propose an experiment that can disprove it. The problem is that this populists make such a conjecture as if it is the sure thing which is very far from the truth.
The time travel idea is the same. Where is the experimental method to falsify such a claim? None.
On the other hand, the local energy conservation law has been violated by numerous experiments. You can find inexhaustible number of examples for this in the Internet just by Googling "weird science", which are not really weird in any practical sense. But the principle of causality has never been shown to be violated in nature. The time machine idea is disproved every day in our daily lives.
If you selectively pick the scientific evidence that exists out there, the future of our science will be bleak.
We should be able to solve our energy problem before we even dream about going back and forth to/from the future.
I have no idea how the scientific world has come to the point where the time travel idea is regarded as a legitimate main stream scientific theory yet the idea of extracting energy from the space is considered a ridiculous non-sense. The situation should have been the other way around.
Second thought, the popular "Back to the Future" sci-fi movie might have sparked such trend of conjectures. Gee, think about the effect of the popular movies onto the mind sets of the main stream physicists.
I wonder why there is no movie on Thomas Henry Moray's or Nikola Tesla's experiments for their life long quest for the energy problem in the popular sci-fi style movie setting.
But then, in the entertainment business, you can not and should not inspire people's especially, the young ones mind with the serious quest for the secret of the universe ???? !!!!!!. The impact of this kind of movie in the minds of the young generation would be unimaginable. We could have been out of the energy crisis in the 1950s !!!!
What subsequently happened, because of this time travel non-sense, is that these populists basically helped creating this John Titor hoax. If he is a real time traveler, he should be able to bring back some electronic gadgets we can foresee sometime in the 10 years future. Obviously he can't and he will never be able to do that, not anytime in the remote future.
Imagine a life situation where a tree becomes smaller and smaller and eventually becomes a seed and then goes back to the parent's tree inside a fruit. This is what it means to go back in time. There are tremenous volumes of known physical principles that needs to be overcome for this to happen.
I don't want to discourage the future scientists on the possibility of time travel, but there are order of things you should accomplish. You learn arithmetic before you learn calculus. You have to graduate high school first before dreaming about getting a PhD. These are the order of things in life as well as for the human society.
Talking about time travel without solving the fundamental cosmic energy and the reactionless propulsion problem is like a kid giving a presentation on calculus even before learning arithmetic, which means, at most, such a discussion at this moment of human civilization is vastly premature and can deter the real progress of the practical science as it probably has already.
It is time for the main stream scientists to stop petting each other's back and straighten up the physics that has been going astray for a long time.

Future of Our Science
When people start talking about the truth, you will see that there are many levels of truth in our lives. One side of the story of the event never covers the whole truth. Sometimes, the publicized "story" is so cunningly concocted with the lies that it is hard to see where is the line between the truth and the lie. This is partly because there are too many angles to view an object in human society. But the major problem is because the strongly publicized view is normally the one that comes from the major media which is owned by the major corporate moguls or the establishments. The public, unless they try hard, will never know the real truth of the whole event. Never a single angle point of view reflects the whole truth in any personal, social or political equations.
On the other hand, this is not the case with the mathematical truth. No matter from what angle you view the object, the mathematical truth is crystal clear and can not be challenged. I noticed recently that the term "theory" immediately raise the suspicion in people's mind on the validity of the presentation. Especially in legal matters, "theory" often means a view of the event that has many logical holes with dubious validity. Most of the theory in court is considered a conjecture regarding the view on how the event has happened. For example, the private researchers view of the JFK assassination has been called conspiracy "theory". On the other hand, the government's explanation has never been satisfactory to most of the serious investigators. So where is the real truth?
In this regard, I often used the term "theory of dipole gravity" for the lack of a proper term for it. I noticed that the term doesn't serve very well for the purpose of conveying the meaning and the implication of it. There are so many theories in physics that doesn't manifest in physical reality that people react immediately "ok, it is a theory so what?". To put it more precisely, dipole gravity is not a theory, it is a mathematical solution of general relativity that has been sought for so long without result that people have given up looking for it long time ago.
If dipole gravity ever turn out to be wrong, that can only happen if and only if general relativity is wrong. In a way, dipole gravity tremendously strengthened the power of general relativity. In the past, the lack of the answers to the large scale cosmological phenomenon from the known general relativity has been considered a possible serious flaw of general relativity. Not any more !!!!
So what happened is that when I showed them the dipole gravity solution, it immediately gave them the suspicion of it. They didn't even dreamed that there was even an open question for the solution. It was given up and they even made sure in the text book in writing that no one will ever seek for the solution unless you are a mad truth seeker like me. An addition of a subtle and humorous phrase like "at least we do not think there is a way you can make the center of mass of an object to be shifted in real physical manner other than the linear translation of the coordinate system". But then this phrase would have been so ridiculous because the shift of the coordinate system has nothing to do with the real physical movement of the object at all.
So, dipole gravity is the mathematical truth demonstrating the real power of general relativity. That's why there is no one who challenges against it from the main stream physics community. I feel sorry for the Einstein detractors but life has to go on.
We have a long way to go in science.

The New Economic Principle
In the old economic principle, there are limited resources and the currency is like the flow of current in the equivalent model of the electrical circuit. When the circuit breaks by the disconnection of the wire or the severe limitation of the current flow, there happens the halting of the electrical current flow or the electrical spark which corresponds to the economic depression and the starvation of the people and ultimately the war(spark) in the human society. It must be noted that this economic model fundamentally assumes the resource is finite.
However, what if the resource is not finite, instead, infinite? This means that the electrical circuit can always be fully charged and there is no limitation of the flow of current. The amount of currency can increase indefinitely. The economy can go on the infinite cycle of booming for ever. The gold loses its fundamental meaning as a solid reserve currency because the gold or the equivalent of the gold can be created out of the thin air.
This may turn out to be as dangerous as the boom and bust cycle. But then it would be easier to control the excess than the shortage. The society needs to be involved itself into a massive spending project like going to the nearby solar like planetary system. In a way, a society with this kind of advanced technology should involve itself to this type of project that seemingly does not produce immediate economic benefit, but just to moderate the exponentially booming economy. When the old economic model changes into this new model, the world will not be controlled by the evil forces whose sole purpose is to subjugate other humans and limit their freedom. The reason for this is because it is not possible for a small group of people can manipulate the flow of currency that was possible in the old economic system. Simply, people do not need to be forced into work if they do not desire to do so because the resource is infinite.
In this new world, the motivation for life will neither be for the survival nor for the desire to control other people anymore, instead, it would be for the simple enjoyment of the tranquil life. In the down side of this, to overcome the boredom of life, which may become prevalent as well, what motivates people to live in this new world will be more on the side of finding the new technology and developing the new gadgets for the ultimate convenience of life and toward the adventure of the outer universe for the search of the new life forms.
The government will be at the smallest of the size as possible in this new economic world model. People may indulge into the activities of creating new life forms, like, for example, fish, birds or flowers so exotic and beautiful that will be enjoyable to the utmost pleasure of human life.
One can imagine a TV show of contest who created the most beautiful and exotic form of fish or bird or any life form that can imagine. Of course, almost human like cyborg will be prevalent in the society that, sometimes, it would be hard to tell who is a cyborg and who isn't. This kind of society is not very far from us in the new paradigm of the world.
Only the most twisted evil soul will indulge into the activities of creating a new virus to kill people. Besides, there will be cures available for all forms of bacterial and viral infections that this kind of evil activities will turn out to be fruitless.
Disclosure Project
There are vast number of groups of people (for an example Dr. Steven Greer) who have been trying hard to push for the disclosure of the hidden information that has been kept away from the public by the government retrieved from the alleged crashed alien crafts and also from some of the past scientists who left incredible legacy that is not available to the general public. I really do not know what is the force behind this suppression and what is the purpose of it all. I do not wish to pretend I do not aware of this movement and all the related tragedies and mishaps. In fact, I have been informed of the activities of this groups and the movement more than I wish to know by the readers of my web pages.
The world would be much better place to live than it is now if we can have access to all of these information. But what is frightening is how vastly the society is fragmented from one group to the other. There are no rational communications among the various groups of the people. There are also false information spread by this movements. But then it is the same with the established scientific community. There are vast number of trashes that have been published in the name of the establishment in the scientific journal. The pseudo science has replaced the science that has been built upon the fundamental experiment based on the solid theoretical foundation.
In fact, the advanced technology for the future of mankind is with us here. This scientific knowledge will bring us to the new world. Every one wants it, yet there is no simple means to get there. When this new age comes, science and religion will merge and bring us to the peace, where the rationality instead of the blinded bigotry will prevail the society.
The paradigm shift has happened. It is coming and it will free us from all the injustices and evils of the world. However if the world is controlled by the media that fundamentally oppose this from happening and we decide to let them, it may not happen. I believe the year 2012 is not the end of the world, instead, it is the beginning of the new world. Mr. Black may put it in his own words, "It will be the end of the world as we know what it is".

The Korean Prophecy
In this respect, the usefulness of the prophecies are more or less for the purpose of the satisfaction of human curiosity than for the preparation of the future. People simply would like to know at least they are not at the center of the bad prophecies and to find out if there is anything they can do to avoid it if they learned that they are in fact at the center of it.
Regardless, it seems that we are at the verge of the vast changes to come. The end of the world prophecies by the Mayan calender, Nostradamus, Hopi Indians, the bible prophecy and the Chinese I-Ching have all been well publicized, however, interestingly, the Korean prophecy has not been publicized at all, probably because, I presume, it has not been fully translated in English. However, there could be more reasons to it than that in these days when people are hungry for any prophetic knowledge of the future.
As any Koreans would have read or at least heard of it, there is a very well known Korean prophecy that started about 1000 years ago (Chung Gam Rok)and then reiterated and confirmed by many other scholars(for example: Kyuk Am Yu Rok) of the Confucian philosophy. Those Korean prophecies are very specific and elaborate in detail. It is a well known fact in Korea that those books of prophecy accurately predicted, the number of years(36 years) Japanese would occupy Korea and then their eventual retreat, which was a painful humiliation for Koreans who are very proud of themselves and have despised Japaneses as being midgets for thousand of years before their invasion. And also the division of the Korean peninsula into North and South and the eventual unification of the two Koreas. It is obvious that this kind of prophecies could not be very popular to the ancient Koreans until those events actually happened because of its stressful content.
In Koreans psyche, the idea that, especially in recent years, the difference in ideology is not such a big a deal compared to the blood, has been strengthened. They say in the old Korean folklore, "Blood is thicker than Water".
For example, in a recent incidence, the north Korean commerce ship was about to be hijacked by the Somali pirates and the South Korean Navy helicopter fired onto the pirates and saved the north Korean ship from being hijacked. I think this story is wonderful and beautiful. South Koreans certainly do not care if the North have nuclear weapons and the long range missile capability. It is the blood that matters for them. Basically the minds of the people of Korean peninsula are moving toward the unification. We don't know when it will happen, but if the books could predict the Japanese invasion and the division of the Korean peninsula, there is no reason to doubt the ultimate unification of the two Koreas.
There are much more materials in the book of the Korean prophecy that also tells about what will happen in the world in the "end" days. They also talk about the pandemics and the famine that will kill many people in the world. But the most glaring subject of all in the books of Korean prophecy is this specific mention about the King who will come to Korea and judge all the evils of the world. He will enlighten the world and bring the peace. The world after those pandemics and the famine will be bright according to the Korean prophecy.
I think what scares the people who are looking into the future of the world is this specificity of the Korean prophecy, because a prophecy is, in general, more entertaining when it is vague. The Korean prophecy tells specifically the "chosen" one will come to Korea. The Chinese prophecy also says he (the one) will come in the East. China is also located in the East, so, there is no reason that the Chinese prophet would not specifically mention it will be China if it is going to be so.
The more details you study into this books of Korean prophecy, the more you will be surprised by learning how specific those prophecies are about the technologically wonderful world of the future and the family origin and whose descendants he/she(the one) will be. There are many branches of groups of families in Korea with the same family name, so, normally Korean people would tend to specify who is the originator of their specific family branch called "bon juk" to find out if they are blood related.
Speaking of "Bon Juk", if a young couple wants to get married and they found out that they have the same family name and also the same "bon juk" (the first originator of the family) then they can not marry. This common law has been in use in Korea for centuries and it caused many miseries because a young loving couple could not get married just because they happened to have the same family name and the same "Bon Juk". I believe this law has been repealed but it is still in use in the circles of the so called "Yang Ban" class(high ruling class) families. This law is far more stricter than the Jewish or the common world (bible) standard that extends only up to among the immediate siblings. It is out of question in Korea for cousins to get married to each other, no matter how the common law may have been repealed. It is simply not possible. A person can not even get married to his/her grand father's sister's grand daughter/son no matter how much they may be in love with each other. If they do, it would be considered a sin almost as close to a incest in Korean morality.
Back to the specificity of the Korean prophecies, only some Koreans may have noticed from my blog, the family name of this one man is Chung(Jeong). The reason this person should be a man and not a woman is because the prophecy says he would be called "Chung Do Ryung". "Do Ryung" in Korean word means an "adorable young man of noble descent". And the originator of this family branch(Bon Juk) of Chung Do Ryung is Po Eun, Jeong(Chung) Mong Joo, as repeatedly mentioned in the book of Kyuk Am Yu Rok.
Despite this specificity, it must be noted that the religious group(Unification Church) of Sun Myung Moon has been using this Korean prophecy to promote the "legitimacy" of his religious leadership because "Chung Do Ryung" is supposed to be the messiah of the second coming. I don't know how he could prove his "legitimacy" with his family name "Moon" when the book repeatedly said it is Jeong(Chung). It is supposedly said that he(Sun Myung Moon) used the phrase in some part of the book saying that the birth place of the one would be in the north of the 38Th line, the region of which belongs to the area of the present day North Korea where he was supposedly born. However, it should be noted that there are many other conflicting places he was supposed to be born written in the book which are not repeated nor emphasized.
But then, a false religion would start with the misinterpretation of the ancient text of prophecy. It is amazing that he totally ignores the repeated mention of the origin of the family in the book that he(the one) will be a descendant of the Chung(Jeong) family especially from the line of Jeong Mong Joo, the most famous scholar in ancient Koryo dynasty.
There is no point here trying to prove my legitimacy of some kind to start a new religion by distorting the content of the ancient Korean prophecy book. A scientific discovery is not something that happens only in the minds of the people through a faith or some kind of hypnotic trance. It is the real powerful technical and scientific process that we are going to encounter in the near future in the tangible material world.
Here, the compelling question to any one who learns the theory of dipole gravity would be why and how a Korean man should come up with this mathematical solution that is the ultimate secret of the universe that can and will revolutionize the world. For the last 90 years, thousands of the brightest geniuses of the world entered, graduated and practiced in this field of science and tried to find the solution of this mysterious magnetic gravity that would liberate humans from the perpetual grabbing force of the nature. For this kind of remarkable event to happen, some one or some books should have foretold in the past that this event will happen in the future in a form of a prophecy. Only then it will qualify you as being legitimate. People may think somewhat of this line in their minds..
My legitimacy, if there is any such thing, would be that I was supposed to find this solution and that was prophesied to be that way 1000 years ago according to the Korean prophecy. I would like to recommend the full translated version of Kyuk Am Yu Rok for anyone who wants to study this Korean prophecy, the English translation of which may not exist at the moment. It would require hundreds of pages of blog space to record the entire content of the book. On the other hand, I would avoid the translation performed by the Moonies since they have the vested interest to bias the content for their misguided religious purposes.
And also see what Nostradamus wrote in his quatrain 75.
So long expected shall never come
Into Europe, In Asia shall appear,
One Issued of the line of great Hermes
And shall be over all the Kings of the Orient.
In Greek mythology, Hermes is known to be the God of science.
If Nostradamus was biased by the necessity of boosting the pride of his own people, he would not have written such a quatrain, nor Kyuk Am would have written the shameful defeat of the Korean people and the occupation by the Japanese for 36 years if he was biased to promote the Korean agenda. Both records were written in their truthful visions of the future.
By the way, who would like to be a King who reminds me of a living statue surrounded by the people constantly telling you that you can not go to certain places or do certain things due to the various reasons which you didn't have to worry about before. Your 99 percent of the personal freedom will be gone by being a King. The fundamental meaning of being a King is that you are a divine server to the people. In ancient China, according to the legend, the first emperor known as the Yellow Emperor, Huangdi was the teacher of the crop cultivation. He served people by saving them from hunger when the people were entirely relying on the berries and fruits picked off from the shrubs and trees. The knowledge of the farming was the ultimate technology that saved the people from starvation in the remote ancient Chinese society. Therefore, the true King should not be a dictator nor a destroyer, he/she should be the teacher and the savior(server) of the mankind.

Review of Thomas Kuhn's Theory of Scientific Revolution
Thomas Kuhn, in his book 'The Structure of Scientific Revolutions' he describes the reactions of scientists to new discoveries and hard it is for them to make changes in their basic beliefs.
Kuhn noticed that scientists would go to any lengths to deny the validity of new theories or the need to change their minds. He describes the symptoms associated with fundamental change:
1. Persistent denial
2. Refusal to consider evidence
3. Reluctance to criticize old ideas
4. Slander of new-thinking colleagues
5. Anger at having to give up cherished dogmas
Kuhn begins by formulating some assumptions that lay the foundation for subsequent discussion and by briefly outlining the key contentions of the book.
A. A scientific community cannot practice its trade without some set of received beliefs (p. 4).
1. These beliefs form the foundation of the "educational initiation that prepares and licenses the student for professional practice".
2. The nature of the "rigorous and rigid" preparation helps ensure that the received beliefs exert a "deep hold" on the student's mind.
B. Normal science "is predicated on the assumption that the scientific community knows what the world is like" —scientists take great pains to defend that assumption.
C. To this end, "normal science often suppresses fundamental novelties because they are necessarily subversive of its basic commitments".
D. Research is "a strenuous and devoted attempt to force nature into the conceptual boxes supplied by professional education".
E. A shift in professional commitments to shared assumptions takes place when an anomaly "subverts the existing tradition of scientific practice". These shifts are what Kuhn describes as scientific revolutions—"the tradition-shattering complements to the tradition-bound activity of normal science".
1. New assumptions (paradigms/theories) require the reconstruction of prior assumptions and the reevaluation of prior facts. This is difficult and time consuming. It is also strongly resisted by the established community.
2. When a shift takes place, "a scientist's world is qualitatively transformed [and] quantitatively enriched by fundamental novelties of either fact or theory".
Looking back, Kuhn's insight is astoundingly accurate and penetrating. Some people should feel like they are looking into the mirror of themselves. They can disprove neither the theory nor the physical evidence yet trying to hold onto the old paradigm that no longer helps enhance our understanding of the universe.
