Subject: New paradigms....... Date: Tue, 21 Apr 1998 111221 -0500 (CDT) From: "Roy L. Beavers" <rbeavers@llion.org> To: emfguru@hotmail.com -------------------------------------------------- Hi everybody: Peter Depippo sent the following to me with a comment that "it might not be relevant" to our group...... I believe it is indeed relevant! Many others before me have recognized that this EMF matter challenges old "conventional wisdoms" of both physics and biology. We must learn to recognize those instances and broadcast them to the world..... Something I note that the news media can't seem (even) to understand much less talk about.... If any of you can make it to the following meeting, I predict you will have a challenging "thought" experience. One short added story comes to my mind before leaving the "paradigm" theme. Some of you know that I was in the nuclear weapons and intelligence "business" as a U.S. Navy officer for a number of years..... During that period, I first came into contact with the idea that non-ionizing radiation (as well as ionizing) could have biological consequences. In those years (1950s, 1960s and early 70s), it was easy for the "higher ups" to persuade us "working level stiffs" (the guys who handled and maintained the bombs -- with their electronic components -- or who collected and analyzed the "intelligence" of what the Soviets were doing) that non-ionizing radiation/biological interaction was simply not possible. Well, here it is some thirty years later and the "higher ups" are still trying to "sell" that same idea ... for the same self serving reasons. DON'T YOU BELIEVE THEM!!! The world has entered a new era in both physics and biology!!! And all the lies, half truths, obfuscation, and "P.R." that the "special interests" can concoct is not going to change Mother Nature...... Keep your eye on Mother Nature -- she has the final answers here ... not Motorola, General Electric, or your local utility (OR, I regret to say, the U.S. Government) -- in order to understand the truth of this new world ... this new paradigm...... One good way to do this might be to attend the following meeting if you are near enough to do so..... Cheerio.......

DO YOU KNOW OF OTHERS WHO SHOULD BE ADDED TO THIS LIST?????? *************************** Readers of this list are invited to a free lecture at the Center for Frontier Sciences at Temple University in Philadelphia PA. For more information, check the website at URL: http://www.temple.edu/CFS --------------------- May 6, 1998 (Wednesday); 2:00 - 3:30 p.m. Fritz-Albert Popp, Ph.D.; Vice President and Director of Biophoton Research, International Institute of Biophysics; Kaiserslautern, Germany "A New Approach to the Driving Force of Life: Biophoton Research" Abstract: It is well established that the second law of thermodynamics governs the temporal evolution of macroscopic systems. However, in order to understand the gap between living and non-living matter, a particular optimization procedure between conservative and non-conservative potentials is required, in addition to the known physical laws. This procedure describes at the same time a limiting as well as an unbound operation. This talk describes the results of twenty years of research on "biophotons" (a form of bioluminescence), which is based on modern quantum optics, and presents a completely new approach to understanding life in scientific terms. An online bibliography of Dr. Popp's research is at URL: http://www.temple.edu/cfs/poppbib2.htm ---------------------------------------- Place: Temple University, Kiva Auditorium in Ritter Hall Annex 1301 Cecil B.

Moore Ave. Philadelphia, PA 19122 USA ------------------------- About the Center for Frontier Sciences: The goal of the Center is to facilitate scientific study in areas such as bioelectromagnetics, the mind-matter interrelationship, complementary and alternative medicine, unresolved issues in quantum physics, and new energy technologies. As an integral part of a major university, the Center maintains high standards in reviewing new claims, while remaining open to ideas that may go beyond currently dominant paradigms. Frontier Perspectives, the Center's semi-annual journal, publishes peer-reviewed scientific papers, along with Invited Opinions, Book Reviews, and news of organizations, meetings, and other publications of interest.
