IQ needed for solving Besslers challenge?

[ME]

What I find more disturbing is the 'single-option'-option.

Makes me wonder: what could possibly be collapsing and expanding at the same time...?

Is it perhaps possible our universe resides inside an evaporating blackhole which is (according to our current theory) empty?

Let's call this: "Dark-Universe"

Anything could be created there just on the edge of some turbulent lightspeed differential.
Out of nothingness and residual energies of some previous collapse whole strands of milkyways are painted on the inside of black canvas.
While accelerating outwards to the event-horizon we can now actually measure this upcoming mirror-world with our shift-detector as like some law-enforcer pointing his detector at speeding cars. The fate of this dark one is imminent as its layers are slowly peeled like an onion and dissolves into the vast surrounding spaces. But none of the inhabitants will see this ending as time dilation prohibits an undistorted view caused by that yet unknown event-horizon-stretch-effect just showing a never ending mirage.
For now we still don't know where we are and how this all came to be. But as we can measure our destiny to be far away, we now know we could be closing in fast; an unavoidable threshold we can't even measure.

Oh the wonders of science.. and fiction.
Stay tuned for some next episode.


And Oystein, when is yóur book ready?

[Oystein]

I wote for a rotating/spiraling or vortex universe..

The book/s will be ready when I have a proper deal and a following schedule. (Answer: I have no idea) I will adjust or complete the books to a publishers wishes. At the time I have not signed anything, but are still talking. An internal group at the publishers are looking into what they can do with my material, and I have gotten the answer that everybody think it is good and that I will be invited at a new meeting at the HQ. So we will wait and see.

I write on three different books.. A Novel, based on fictional characters and a partially fictional plot using facts from my research as ingredients.

And two fact books. The codes in history and The Key of Orffyreus.

The fact books are simple but the novel is harder, and it is the Novel that the publishers really want. Backed up by fact book/s.

I also need help with all the references and the formatting etc etc.

The Novel story I have worked the most with is a journalist that is researching and writing an article about Newtons alchemy and masonry, and he discovers the letters to him about Orffyreus.

Then he writes a new article about Orffyreus, but discovers that he used some codes that lead him to startling discoveries. He publishes his findings in an article and later he disappears. He has a service that give a cryptic note to his associates. this note is leading them on a search for the grail and Orffyreus secret. Somehow it seems like one and the same thing..

Sounds like really compelling stuff...

Something i've wondered about previously is a dramatised reveal of a real OU tech.. you could give the whole game away in detail, with audiences initially oblivious that what's being described actually works.. a real flux capacitor, type stuff... but dropped completely nonchalantly, as if it was just innocent sci fi.

More seriously, i've long thought that the best person to produce a documentary on Bessler would be Jim Al Khalili - his edutainment productions on the development of science and physics are fantastic, with authentic period pieces overlayed with CGI technical explanations, landmark experiment replications and where possible using original apparatus, or faithful copies. As a physicist he really understands what he's talking about, describing discoveries in their proper contexts, both historical and modern.

Working at the BBC i sometimes see Brian Cox, but Jim Al Khalili i've never bumped into. If i ever manage a working model tho i'd certainly be tempted to try and arrange a meeting..

The thing is, alongside the kinds of breakthrough discoveries he normally documents, is a parallel world of failed ideas - the phlogistons, calorics and lumineferous aethers etc., and at the moment this is where OU systems reside. Alchemy, the celestial crystal spheres and their epicycles, perpetual motion... Even if in our own view our allegiance to the scientific method is paramount, in everyone else's, this is pseudoscience, with all the credibility of flat Earth theory.

But Al Khalili has also produced series about the vacuum, so he could cross-reference everything, from quantum to classical, explaining clearly things like thermodynamics, calorimetry, Noether's theorem, energy symmetry, and basically just why CoE is inviolable.. and so providing the setup for the conditions of OU, and its implications..

Aahh... daydreams of vindication, huh?

Still, with Steorn going live, the day when these kinds of discussions are mainstream may be fast approaching. If we're not to be left spectating from the sidelines, we need to be getting our arses in gear..

The single biggest headstart we've had is the safe knowledge that Bessler's evidence is incontrovertible. We know that what we're looking for is there, that classical asymmetries are possible. But as more people realise this, the competition grows. Which is a Good Thing... by any means.. but are we to be the foot soldiers, or the footnotes?

Clock's ticking... Tick tock, tick tock..
