After the collapse of
the Soviet Union, the breath of freedom after over nearly sixty years of
Communist control was perceptible all over the world. Russian thinkers
entered an era from the 1990s which to them was as exhilarating as the
1960s had been to the West. Free of a deadly philosophy of mechanical
determinism and the horror of a state control that murdered some 30 thirty
million people between the two Wars, they could think and speak as they
had not done since the days of Dostoyevski and Chekov. Freed of the
mind-numbing mundane rationalism of dialectical materialism, many exotic
blooms began to push their way through the rusted ironwork of the
devastated industrial mind of the 19th century.
E. P. Kruglyakov
discusses here in detail some the more fantastic foliage sprouting from
this hothouse. Have patience with this article, it is very detailed, but
extremely clear. Some of the illustrations will be familiar. It is
interesting to see from another cultural mindset many of the debates
reflective of the innumerable conflicts surrounding Steven Greer, Michael
Wolf, Boylan, John Lear, and Colonel Corso. There are the same problems
occurring as regards what defines evidence and proof, with what
constitutes a proper scientific argument, and with what defines
experimental methodology.
In addition, the new
academic/political atmosphere is described in the context of an
experimental science free to roam against the very different background of
a capitalist State adjusting to unaccustomed laissez faire industrial
horizons instead of rigid political direction.
I leave readers with
the thought that the same “deviants” appear here on Russian scientific
event-horizons as appear in the West, yet within a very different culture.
We are left asking Betty Baxter’s question (Chapter 2) : are the deviants
and “imposters” generated by any scientific culture as shadow functions of
accepted norms? Are these half-worlds vital to some important function
within the psychology of scientific thinking?
George Shenston
"A question was raised
on the cover of the magazine "Elektrosvyaz" N5 of 2001: "Torsion
Communications: Myth or Reality?" The question was connected with the
publication of an article inside, "Torsion Communications - A New
Physical Principle for Information Transmission Systems" [1]. The review
presented replied to this question thus torsion communications
is not a myth and, moreover, it is not a reality. It is a
complete illusion!.
The article under
discussion was supplied with information about its authors: A. Ye. Akimov,
"Director of the International Institute of Theoretical and
Applied Physics (MITPF) of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences [RAEN]".
(I note that the physics section of the RAEN has dissociated itself
from this "institute"). V. Ya. Tarasenko, the first deputy director
of MITPF; S. Yu. Tolmachev, chief of a department of the FSB [Federal
Security Service] Academy. The department is evidently a secret one
as the name is not disclosed. One can presume this is a commercial
matter as this group needed "powerful" support so quickly.
The perceptive
reader will guess from the style of this note that he will not find a good
word about their article and this is right. The article tries to
justify a number of large-scale pseudoscientific concepts in an
atmosphere of communications engineers about the so-called discovery
long ago in secret Soviet laboratories of a new fundamental
interaction. For decades, under cover of these (constantly mutating) concepts
immeasurable amounts money have been extracted from the country's budget
for endlessly changing promises of wonder weapons, wonder communications,
generators of free "energy from a physical vacuum", climate
machines, panaceas for all diseases, and so forth and so on. This "research"
has been financed through "power" and "special" structures
uncontrolled by the scientific community and was always "top secret" 2). Hundreds
of people from dozens of defense industry institutions and even
several academic institutes were drawn into this activity. The
composition of the participants changed constantly (which is not surprising -
not everyone will agree to write false reports for good money) while
preserving and consolidating a small framework of "ideologist" leaders,
the main one who was and is A. Ye. Akimov. At the
beginning of 1991 this
activity became publicly known and was subjected to a critique by the
USSR Academy of Sciences and the Supreme Soviet's Science Commission,
after which the "Center for Nontraditional Technologies" under
the State Committee for Science and Technology headed by Akimov was
immediately disbanded. Having lost his official post Akimov found his
place right there in the new world of "venture" enterprises,
maintaining his ties and support in the "special structures". Secrecy
has been forgotten since then and there began a period of intensive
attempts to enter the market with miraculously operating generators
of torsion (they are spinor and microlepton), either fields or
radiation. Inasmuch as not one of the
widely-advertised
promises in the area or defense or civil technology has been kept (nor
could they be, in view of the absence of these all-powerful fields!),
only one guaranteed market sector was left for Akimov without
implying object proof of the reality of these fields - healing. Rumors began
to spread via the mass media, including the respectable "Izvestiya"
(see my reply about this in the Feedback section of the 26
September 1997 issue of this newspaper), about a reputedly powerful "psychotronic"
weapon developed in the depths of the old KGB on the basis
of these same fields, a weapon which could work good if desired. An
advertisement for "torsion generators" appeared on the Internet which
would relieve any ailment at a moderate price - $30 dollars for a Russian,
$100 for a foreigner. (We note in passing that the advantages of
these "generators" are the same as for any other amulets. It's the same
matter with the damage - being objectively useless, they inspire
hope in users and keep them from going to doctors). We don't
know well this business is doing, but we know that it's not enough for
Akimov's company and that it is trying ceaselessly to suck money from the
state budget. Interviews with Akimov appear constantly in the
newspapers with promises to solve the energy problem with the aid of
"generators of energy from a vacuum" or to master space with the aid of
unsupported [bezopornyye] engines. Not long ago on television it was said
that a similar project was on Klebanov's desk [Il'ya Klebanov is the
Minister of Science, Industry, and Technology].
The article in "Electrosvyaz"
lays the ground for an application for budget financing for
the development of wonder communications - instant, secure,
point-to-point, all-penetrating, unlimited by distance, and not
requiring power. There's only one detail left - to get financing! (It is
strange, of course, that a 40-year-old "great discovery" still
requires money to confirm its existence and that in spite of 12 years of
intensive advertising the clever West also has not been enjoying the
fruits of "the discovery of the millennium").
A complete critique
of the article [1] is practically impossible because of failures of
logic and there are mistakes and contradictions in almost every
phrase. This makes the article practically immune to any scientific
criticism since any statement in it is inaccurate and the opposite can be
found in the same text. All the same several examples of this will
be given.
The article
contains an introduction described as "the physics of torsion fields", a
description of "the basic properties of torsion fields" and
experiments in "torsion communications" proper.
The introduction is
the part of the article containing comprehensible ideas but not all are
accurate. The authors describe the difficulties of communications
performed with the aid of electromagnetic fields. No
special rebukes are
due here except for tendentiousness and inaccuracies. The
phrase about the "gigantic resources" required in information
transmission systems because of absorption of the natural environment" serves as
an example. It is not clear what is meant by gigantic resources.
When it talks about the most extensive communications
channels - fiber optic - the power is actually being expended to replace
the consumption in the fiber, but it is small by any measure: the full
power of the light consumed in, let's say, a
transatlantic cable is
measured in hundreds of watts. The resources required by a global
satellite communications are limited by the modest power of the
satellites. The resources of radio and television broadcasts are great
but far from consuming "the natural environment".
But the words "[We]
have tried to find the solution to these problems by using...nonelectromagnetic
fields, for example, gravitational" are a deliberately false
statement. No one has ever expressed such carelessly
absurd ideas 3). It's
like the authors had heard about the wide-scale search for
gravitational waves by physicists and are trying to make this subject their own
in order to justify the logic of the development of "torsion
communications".
The section "The
physical principles of torsion communications". Here the authors describe
their "solution" to the problem of a unified field theory which the best
minds of mankind have been working on unsuccessfully for
about 100 years, beginning with Einstein. This entire section is
based on a monograph of G. I. Shipov (reference [17] from the article [1]).
Currently the main theoretician of the group, without beating around
the bush, he esteems his merits much higher than people like Einstein.
Academician V. A. Rubakov of the Russian Academy of Sciences [RAN] has
given an exhaustive appraisal of this book [2]. I will cite only his
introductory evaluation of Shipov's book as "teeming with elementary errors
and incompetent statements and without scientific value as a
whole". At the end of the review Rubakov touches on the issue of
torsion fields which are given leading importance in Shipov's book and
notes that they have not been observed as a physical reality.
This section
concludes with a victorious report relating the production of
industrial "torsion generators" since the middle of the 1980s which opened "a
principally new stage of research of torsion phenomena". Further it
lists the revolutionized fields of technology:
"torsion sources of
energy, torsion propulsion devices, torsion methods of acquiring materials
with new physical properties, the torsion transmission of
information, and much else. Some studies reach the level of technology,
in particular, metallurgy". No references are provided here,
although in a multitude of newspaper and speeches Akimov always talks of his
support by scientific authorities and gives the names of responsible
officials [ispolniteli] and the addresses of many institutions where
various accomplishments have been made. (Akimov is published most often
in the newspapers "24 Chasa [24 Hours]", "Argumenty i fakty",
and the newspapers "Terminator" and "Chudesa i priklyucheniya
[Wonders and Adventures]"). The RAN Presidium's Commission to Combat
Pseudoscience and the Falsification of Scientific Research has conducted
an investigation in each of these specific references and
established that common fraud has occurred in all cases.
The multitude of
examples of specific examinations by the RAN Presidium can be found in the
monograph of Commission chairman Academician Eh. P.
Kruglyakov, "Swindlers
Posing as Scientists" [3]. In a limited number of cases it was
possible to secure demonstrations of the material achievements of the "torsioners",
in particular, to investigate the materials "reformed"
by the action of torsion radiation. The inspection of these materials
ended in a complete fiasco. Again, examples of this can be found in the
monograph cited [3]. (See also the article [4] of the author).
The section "The
Principle Properties of Torsion Fields" deserves separate commentary
inasmuch as it completely demonstrates Akimov's principal method - to
stun an unprepared audience with a stream of pseudoscientific
combinations of words evoking associations with something they've
heard which is highly scientific and little-understood. But
a specialist usually ends up in an impasse since he hears senseless
cacophony - there simply is nothing to hang your hat on. For example, how
does one regard two mutuallyexclusive passages:
a) "these fields
("torsion") are an independent physical object..., having no
relationship....to electromagnetism,
b) "torsion fields
can arise as an inseparable component of
electromagnetism"...(emphasis mine - Ye. A.).
And both these
statements get along together in one point of the "properties". It is
further reported that the initial torsion fields originate "from
Absolutely Nothing", (the same as God, as is explained from the monograph [9]
of the followers of science and that a Physical Vacuum is the source
material of elementary particles - originating from the initial
torsion field. Uh huh...
Akimov's company
very much loves new terms. Initially their fields were called spinor,
then microlepton [5], then torsion [fields]. At one time "microleptons"
played the role of the particles of this field. Now new particles, "tordions",
have been declared to be quanta which are not absorbed in any
medium. There is an unavoidable question in this regard - in such a
case how they be detected (but Akimov's people detect them at times
with the aid of an ordinary camera [4]) - there is no answer.
It is interesting
to call attention to the evolution of the interrelationships of
torsion fields and energy. Earlier they talked of torsion fields as a
source of inexhaustible energy. One of the previous deologists of the
group, A. F. Okhatrin, told of a so-called generator of free energy which
had been made based on "the spontaneous decomposition of
microleptons". A statement of the authors about the creation of "torsion"
generators of energy was cited above. It is stated at the same
time that "torsion signals (of influence) are transmitted
informationally, not energetically, that is, without the transmission of
energy". Or, yet more specifically, "the potential of torsion fields is
identical to zero, which corresponds to their non-energy nature".
This is a citation from point 10 of the properties.
In point 6 it is
pointed out that "like torsion charges are attracted and unlike ones are
repelled". How can forces exist if the corresponding field
has potential equal to zero? If it is identical to zero then its gradient
is equal to zero. How can the energy be drawn out of such a field?
And how can it repel or attract?
In point 5 it
reports that "torsion fields generated by classic spin 4) can be axial and
radial. Each of these fields can be clockwise or counterclockwise. How
can a radial vector be clockwise or counterclockwise -
only Akimov's school knows!
Skipping over the
multitude of the ordinary blunders of this section we pause only on the
central claim of the article - the infinite speed of transmission of
information with the aid of torsion fields. One hardly needs to be
reminded that in the process the authors are rejecting the Special
Theory of Relativity (STO) based on the impossibility of the
transmission of information with a speed greater than the speed of
light in a vacuum. I stress that this is just about the speed of
transmission of information and nothing else. The authors refer to instances
where the speed of light has been exceeded in various physical
phenomena. Similar sorts of sensational reports actually have
appeared, especially in the last decade. None of them have any relation to
Einstein's axiom. In order not to make the description more
cumbersome I will refer to a survey article [6] of the well-known physicist
R. Chiao who has done many experiments in this field. He especially
stipulates that no trustworthy demonstrations of this type shake
Einstein's principle in any way. STO is a cornerstone of physics and has
been confirmed an endless number of times by the entire practical
experience of nuclear physics .
Up to now nothing
has been said directly about how it is known that torsion fields do not
exist in nature. In principle, theory permits the existence of such
fields (Akimov and Shipov didn't invent them!). However, it imposes
severe restrictions on the permissible size of their interaction with
matter. First of all, it is associated with the very high accuracy
with which the laws of other known "long-range actions" are confirmed
- electromagnetism and gravity. They are observed with an
accuracy of up to 10-8, which means that any new
unknown long-range
action can only be weaker than these two; otherwise it would have been
observed long ago. Special experiments were set up to search for a
hypothetical interaction of a non-magnetic nature - "spin" - and it was
not found even at an experiment sensitivity level permitting observation
at a level of 10-11 from magnetic [7].
Therefore, if there is
anything like a torsion field and it is observed it will inevitably be
so insignificantly weak that there is no point in talking about it
having an applied role. This theme is developed in
more detail in studies
[4, 8].
Switching to the
concluding section of the article [1], it remains to discuss the most
difficult question, the so-called "Results of Experimental
Investigations". Any experiment is a crucial argument in the search for truth
if it is reliable, which means in practice that it is repeatedly
reproducible by independent researchers. And even in this case it can remain
doubtful if it contradicts firmly established laws and facts - collective
mistakes and blunders are possible. (For example, a
well-prepared trick can appear convincingly the same in various auditoriums
and in different performances). In the case under investigation of a
"torsion radio" there is in general no faith in the results presented
inasmuch as these results have no independent verification and
contradict a number of fundamental principles of physics.
Nevertheless it is
difficult to judge these experiments which lack the most necessary details
in their description. For example, nothing is said about the
receiver and transmitter (except the name of the developer).
Nevertheless, having been present at Akimov's early reports I take the risk on
myself of reconstructing the essence of these experiments.
I am convinced that
these experiments have at their base a search for odious "telepathic"
communications which have been very much in fashion since the 1950s. when
the political "thaw" of Khrushchev gave rise to a renaissance of
interest in "mediumism" or, in the terminology of those days,
"parapsychology". Information reached our "special services" then about experiments in
the US attempting (they turned out to be fruitless) to
establish telepathic communications with submarines (just recently in the US
Senate a scandal broke out when it came out that their [intelligence]
services had secretly spent $20 million for this nonsense - no more!).
When I asked Akimov in his report how he received a "spinor signal" he
replied simple-mindedly - through a psychic! But when I expressed
disbelief in such a receiver, Akimov began to talk about the ongoing
development of objective methods of reception in particular through the
conductivity of the psychic's skin! This did not surprise me, and then
Akimov began to talk about future semiconductor detectors. From that
time Akimov has categorically denied in my presence the use of
psychics in his experiments. In my opinion his "torsiongram" was
acquired by the ordinary method for these experiments of presenting the
"psychic"-transmitter one of the elements of a binary code which a second
"receiver" participant is to guess. It has long
been clear that
"successful" telepathic sessions are based on the tendentious
statistical selection of a successful short series of guesses. Of course, in
the process the distance between the participants is not
important. (Simply put, successes in telepathic communications are
most often explained by ordinary cheating). The participation of a
so-called "torsion" generator in these tests has no importance, of course;
however the absurd illusion has been produced of the establishment of a
communications path which does not attenuate with distance. I
concede that Akimov initially genuinely believed in the discovery of
"torsion" fields, but he could scarcely have kept this faith in succeeding
decades if he had encountered a community of physicists.
And so, the
widely-broadcast claims of the article's authors of the discovery of a "fifth
force" - a new fundamental interaction - have no basis at all.
Professional searches for new interactions have been systematically
conducted by the world's physicists for the last century with complete
understanding of the difficulties of this task in view of the searches for
obviously very small forces. They have been unsuccessful so far.
Against this background the many years of advertisements by A.
Ye. Akimov of the fantastic prospects of numerous applied uses for
non-existent fields are simply a continuation of the extortion of the
public resources squandered in past decades under cover of secrecy. The
depth to which these "scientists" have dived into the abyss of
blathering and unbridled, absolutely unfounded concepts in combination with the
natural reluctance of professional physicists to deal with incompetent
opponents makes them almost invulnerable. This could be regarded as a
unique religion 5) and the issue would be settled. There's only
one little thing to do - this religion also needs to be separated from
the state. It should be financed by its own parishioners or
directly from "the infinite resources of a physical vacuum".

1) The article is
being published with small abridgments with the goal
of greater
accessibility for the general reader.
2) The author of
this critique had occasion to read a "top secret" report in 1987 by
virtue of his work about a supposedly identified radical influence by
the generator of a new field on the climate of the continent of Europe;
about the generator it was only noted that it required 20 milliwatts
and about its design it was said that it could not be disclosed at
such a low level of secrecy!
3) Except for
Akimov's colleague.
4) Again, a
"homemade" term of Akimov: spin is a purely quantum concept: there is no
"classic" spin.
5) Recently the
ideology of "torsion" fields has actually acquired a distinctly religious
bent - torsion fields are acquiring direct communications with
the soul and God. For example, a monograph [9] has come out. On the cover
is a quote: "When prayers are read over a candle the sound vibrations
cause vibrations of plasma and they convert them to torsion waves which
ascend to God". There are more than 20 references to Akimov
and Shipov in the book.

This story began in
1989 when, as a consequence of an obvious is understanding,
there appeared an article by Mr. A. Okhatrin in a quite venerable Soviet
science journal [entitled] "Macroclusters and Superlight Particles".
This was about no more or less than the discovery of a new
type of elementary particle, microleptons. The discovery of a new
particle, with properties contradicting modern science as well, is a
sensation. However, in this case physics remained entirely indifferent
to a discovery whose importance would obviously get a Nobel Prize.
Where does such indifference come from? The article already seemed quite
dubious. It is sufficient to note that of the seven formulas cited
in it, five had an erroneous scale.
Nevertheless, there
was a reaction to the article all the same. Corresponding member
of the USSR Academy of Sciences Ye. Aleksandrov and Prof. A. Anselm
published a review in which they quite convincingly demonstrated the
groundlessness of Mr. Okhatrin's "discovery".
Moreover, Ye.
Aleksandrov personally visited the latter, trying to understand the basis
for his blunders. This is how Ye. Aleksandrov described the
conversation which ensued:
Aleksandrov: "As
far as I understand, this discovery occurred accidentally. You
didn't expect such an effect?"
Okhatrin:
"Absolutely right; having developed the film we did not understand what had
happened right away. Only then did it become clear to us that this
microlepton radiation had passed photons through four walls" (this is about
how, thanks to microleptons, they managed to photograph an object
separated from the camera by thick walls - Eh. K.).
Aleksandrov: "But
don't you think that this was simply the superimposition of two
different photographs on one frame because of a malfunction while
rewinding the film?"
Okhatrin: "This
cannot be precluded, of course".
One would suppose
that the reader has already realized the level of soundness of the
"discovery"; but what is surprising is that, although microleptons are not
found in serious science, yet today, 10 years later, they permit A.
Okhatrin, now an academician of the International Academy of Energy
Information Sciences (MAEhIN), to successfully extract no small
dividends from this fraud.
This is what Mr.
Okhatrin's associates (S. Denisov and S. Kovalyov) wrote several years
later: "Proceeding from the Unified Field Theory and based on many
years of experiments, Academician A. Okhatrin of the
MAEhIN obtained the
characteristics of microleptons. They have a small charge, small mass,
and are not picked up by any known material instruments and
screens".
If one puts aside
the Unified Field Theory, to which Mr. Okhatrin has no relation, one can
note that microleptons are akin to the material from which the clever
con men sewed the king's clothing in Andersen's famous fairy tale. In
1995 S. G. Denisov, D. I. Atayev, V. G. Neyman, and A. F. Okhatrin
received a patent for "a device for electrically influencing a
biological object and a means of evaluating the effectiveness of its
operation". From this moment the GAMMA-7A and GAMMA-7N instruments
(the activator and neutralizer) began to be actively adopted into
medical practice. The instruments are advertised without false modesty
as "a new approach to health maintenance and improvement".
This is what S.
Denisov (one of Mr. Okhatrin's co-inventors and director of the
"GAMMA-7" informatics center) and S. Kovalyov write in the journal "Ehkologiya
i Promyshlennost' Rossii [The Ecology and Industry of Russia]":
"Pathogenic radiation", "geopathogenic zones", "psychic influence",
"energy information exchange"... These and other terms which relate to
a now fast-developing field called information medicine not long ago
could not receive any serious acceptance whatsoever at the
official level. But only now in our society, which is mainly under the
influence of disappointment in the capabilities of so-called official
medicine, massive acceptance of these terms has begun, not as "'old
wives' tales' but as objective reality". The subtext of this phrase
is as follows: where medicine is powerless the above instruments will
help you. I am personally most often struck not that a multitude of
dubious personalities in their mercenary ends are beginning to bury
official medicine in the literal sense but that they do not encounter
resistance from the Russian Academy of Medical
Sciences and the RF
Ministry of Health. Things have reached an absurd level: in the RF State
Duma they are considering the question of adopting a law
"Providing the Population with Electrical Information Prosperity" completely
seriously. The bill "is being cooked" in deep secrecy from the
Russian Academy of Sciences. And no wonder: for if there are hearings
with representatives of the RAN present the complete ignorance of "the
public" which is forcing the law through will be displayed with
exhaustive completeness. However, the author of these lines has already had
an opportunity to demonstrate what goals the apologists for the law
are pursuing ("Novoye v Ehkologii [What's New in Ecology]" -
Nezavisimaya Gazeta, 7 October 1998).
The persistence of
the lobbyists for the law can only be surprising. At the end of 1998
they set up an exhibit in the Duma at which a couch psychic able to treat
a multitude of illnesses including impotence, was shown as the highlight
of the program! I cannot understand what ideas guided the organizers
of the exhibit when they showed the couch on television? Or do they
think that the people are already so duped by regular paranormal
nonsense from astrological predictions to sexual contact with aliens
that they will swallow this rubbish?
Recently there were
several hearings on this bill. And again nothing disrupted the decorum
of the procedure. The Russian Academy of Sciences did not participate in
the hearings. By luck a deputy chairman of the Ecology Committee V.
Tetel'min sent a letter to the Prime Minister about the results of
the hearings which had been conducted. Although the letter was
accompanied by a lengthy appendix signed by the committee chairman, T.
Zlotnikova, to let him know what energy information prosperity
of the population is, the Premier could hardly be able to. However,
the main idea in the document was described clearly: the
government should create a federal program which consequently would
provide this prosperity...Well, but whose prosperity such a program would
provide is a big question.
But the Duma had
not managed to consider one bill when another appeared. The Chairman
of the Security Committee, V. Il'yukhin, presented a bill "The
Protection of the Human Psychosphere". It is surprising all the
same that among the State Duma deputies there are yarns about sinister
generators with whose aid a person's mind can be influenced.
The mental
condition of a person depends on an enormous number of factors. Not least is
confidence in tomorrow and the satisfaction of critical (both social
and spiritual) needs. There is not a word about this in the bill. On
the contrary, attention is placed on factors which science has not shown
to exist.
What kind of people
are behind these bills? I don't know. I can only state that at least
the first law was actively lobbied by functionaries of the International
Academy of Informatics (MAI) and the International
Academy of
Electroinformation Sciences (MAEhIN). The fact that presidents of the
countries of the CIS, members of the Russian government, deputies
of the State Duma, and even General Secretaries of the UN (Kofi Annan and
his predecessor, Butros Ghali) are in these academies should
deceive no one. These "figureheads" do not participate at all in the
activities of these academies. It is not precluded that they do not even
realize that what they were placed in.
The International
Academy of Informatics originated as Mosgorspravka.
In 1990 the USSR
Academy of Informatics was registered as a small enterprise. Back in
1992 after the collapse of the USSR it was re-registered as the
International Academy of Informatics.
Thanks to such a
leading light of "science" as its President, I. Yuzvishin, the Academy
solidly holds the palm of world leadership in the field of
latter-day "generalized science", informationology, which is constantly being
developed by Mr. Yuzvishin. Much of interest can be derived from the
"masterpiece" of Ivan Iosifovich; in particular, the reader might find out
that "information is primary, and matter is secondary", that
"vacuum, space, time, movement, energy, and matter originate from
information". It is incomprehensible to the mind; how could serious
scientists who have fallen into this Academy endure similar gibberish?
One ought not think
that informationology is the only hobby of the MAI. The Academy's
leaders have a very great scope. Do you need a diploma of a candidate
or doctor of sciences? No problem! The Academy has a graduate school
and doctoral studies in 101 specialties! The range is simply
grandiose. How do you like the specialty "All Fields of Human Activity"? Or
"All Fields of Industry"? It needs to be recognized that there are not yet
specialists in the world with such a broad range. The Academy
trains certified "specialists" in at least 15 "scientific fields"
which have nothing in common with science. Here are several examples of
such "specialties": "Research...of torsion and information fields in
vacuum spheres and material spheres of the
Universe", "Psychic
Ability, Telepathy, Telekinesis, and Other Non-Material
Phenomena", "Astrology", "UFOlogy", etc. And the MAI has begun to breed
"specialists" of all sorts in these (and not only in these), to put it
politely, not completely scientific fields. One thing is shameful: the VAK
[Higher [[Degree]] Accreditation Commission] does not recognize the
latter-day "scientists". And here in the bill "Providing the
Population with Electrical Information Prosperity" a provision is included
about expanding the list of VAK specialties to the benefit of the
academics lobbying for the bill. But meanwhile the VAK is being subjected
to powerful pressure. Even a lie is put to use.
Mr. V. Azhazha, an MAI
academic who dreams of getting UFOlogy the status of a science,
declared, "The Higher Accreditation Commission has already recognized
UFOlogy as a science". Well, why distort things so, Mr. Azhazha? The
International Academy of Energy Information Sciences is not so large as the
MAI. It has no representative in the UN.
However, it heads the
list of "recognized centers of the development of energy information
knowledge", and it has the honor of the creation of the "science of energy
information exchange", eniology. If one views the MAEhIN as a study
group of amateurs interested in eniology who inform one another
about TFP (narrow physical fields), torsion fields, "Kozyrev mirrors",
pyramids which store cosmic energy, and finally, activators and
neutralizers curing a multitude of hopeless illnesses, etc. and so on and so
forth, no one would begin to dispute this. But this does not
establish their status. They are trying to legalize eniology on a
government-wide scale to be introduced into higher educational
institutions, without having the slightest basis for this.
The Russian
contribution to the world economy continues to fall steadily; our country
is not even in the top 50 in the world in its standard of living and
the educational level of the population is falling. Is there
indeed one index where we are first? Yes! We in Russia have the
highest rate of initial accumulation of capital in the world. The steepest
financial pyramids are again ours. And now we are the first in the world
to adopt laws which are to protect people who aren't aware of
them....There are no such laws in any country of the world. Somehow they
get by without them. Well, but why do WE need them?
But let's return to
Mr. Okhatrin and his partners. The advertisement of unique instruments
(a neutralizer and activator) capable of transforming
large-cluster pathogenic radiation into a safe form was organized with great
knowledge of the business. In the journals already mentioned above two
learned authors (Candidate of Technical Sciences S. Denisov and Candidate
of Chemical Sciences S. Kovalyov) described in detail what awful
pathogenic influences the average Russian is subjected to today:
radiation from geopathogenic zones (remember godforsaken places?),
cosmic radiation, technopathogenic radiation, which can refer to the
harmful radiation of televisions, personal computers, microwave
ovens, and many other instruments and devices.
Finally, for the
unlucky person there is social pathogenic radiation (the mutual influence
of one person on another caused by anger, envy, greed, and other
vices). All this, in the words of the learned authors, leads to a disruption
of the information body (that's what eniologist call the "external
shell of a person") with anomalous large clusters of TFP, or so-called
microlepton radiation.
But the misfortunes
don't end here. "Research conducted in the field of TFP has identified
an anomalous radiation of money - paper banknotes: a roll of
money containing more than 20 notes has a TFP around it which has an
extremely negative influence on a person's biofield, with an
intensity exceeding the radiation from a computer monitor. The
pathogenic radiation of money reflects the energy traces of the psychoemotional
desires of people through whose hands it has passed, deforming the
narrow physical fields of the new owners". The prospects for humanity
would be extremely bad if not for the four inventors mentioned
earlier. "After many years of experiments a group of scientists joined
together around the 'GAMMA-7' Informatics Center managed to solve this
problem (the transformation of large-cluster pathogenic radiation
into а safe form - Eh. K.) successfully. They created and put into
serial production devices unique in their protective and
healthful capabilities - a NEUTRALIZER and ACTIVATOR".
"The NEUTRALIZER is
a passive broadband TFP self-exciting oscillator.
It was built employing
narrow-film technologies in the form of double-mirrored
multi-stage spirals of Archimedes with a calculated ratio of axes,
thickness of layers, and the formation of an alloy of copper alloy, silver,
and gold". In one of the booklets dedicated to the miracle
instruments [I] managed to find that they have six levels of protection from
those who try to open the instrument and find out its secret.
"The principle of
operation of the NEUTRALIZER consists of its energy excitation (in the TFP
sense) under the influence of an external radiation source
(therefore the device does not need a source of electric power). This
interaction has a resonant character and leads to the disruption of
large TFP clusters and the suppression of their anomalies which have a
harmful influence on the human biofield".
The small box
weighing about 30 grams creates a protective field with a radius of 120 cm
around its holder. This unique "anti-field" protects against the harmful
influences of various radiating instruments and devices, geopathogenic
zones, encoding [SIC], zombification, and other biopathogenic
influences.
The perfection of
the NEUTRALIZER led to the creation of a device named the ACTIVATOR.
The latter, according to statements of S. Denisov and S. Kovalyov,
influences the human organism exceptionally favorably, tones it, and
considerably increases its immunity and provides powerful energy replenishment.
In the words of these inventors, the beneficial influence of the
ACTIVATOR has also made itself felt in [treating] metastasized breast
cancer, stomach ulcers, AIDS directed at urogenital function and also
other pathologies. "A picture of normalization of energy indicators has
been noted an hour after the influence of the 'GAMMA-7' devices". As
became clear, the exceptionally favorable influence on the human
organism has been accomplished thanks to the addition and placement
in "certain places of spirals of a small number of such elements as
tellurium, lanthanum, indium, gadolinium, and several other
rare-earth [minerals] and lanthanides".
We have already
noted that microlepton fields are a fraud. Science rejects biofields, TFP,
and many other influences which Messrs. Denisov and Kovalyov mention
in the same way. It is senseless to argue with them on this topic.
The inventors present themselves as candidates of technical and chemical
sciences. In such an event they should have known that tellurium
and indium have nothing in common with lanthanides. I want to
mention at the same time that rare-earth elements and
lanthanides are one and the same! The "scientist"
gentlemen have poor
training in general science.
Is this possibly
simply petty carping about the inventors of miracle instruments? For S.
Denisov and S. Kovalyov themselves have written in the same journal that
"our devices have been authorized for broad distribution among the
population, which is confirmed by the findings of Gossanehpidnadzor
[The State Medical Inspectorate] and Gosstandart [The State Standards
Committee]. The items are completely protected by patent. An
International Certificate of Conformity has been received..."
There's no denying
that all this seems impressive. In order to get such impressive
documents, one needs to pass dozens of expert appraisals. And,
actually, there are many official favorable findings from various
organizations, even including the N. I. Vavilov Institute of General Genetics,
two favorable findings from the 1st TsNII [Central Scientific Research
Institute] of the Ministry of Defense, and a number of others are
mentioned. A book has come out in support of the inventors of the
instruments whose authors extol Okhatrin and his associates and fight
for "the broad adoption of 'GAMMA-7' apparatuses into medical practice
and for the ecological correction of the biopathogenic
environment". The book was published at least twice (S. Sineok, I. Yeliseyev,
'Spiral' Zashchity i Zdorov'ya [The Spiral of Protection and
Health]", Moscow, 1997, 71 pp., Globus, 1998, 123 pp.).
Can one really remain
in doubt that the devices invented by Mr. Okhatrin and Co. "are
the best of those which have been created in this field and here Russia
has absolute precedence"? Alas, one can. Risking drawing the
displeasure not only of Okhatrin and his co-investors, but also the supporters of
the broad adoption of this wonder of the 20th century, I dare to
state; the entire history from the "discovery" of microleptons to the
"invention" of the neutralizer and activator is a well-organized
large-scale swindle.
Well, but
what about the patent, the permission of higher authorities, the International
Certificate of Conformity, and finally the favorable findings of respected
organizations? A little patience, readers!
Yes, in 1995 a
group of four inventors headed by A. Okhatrin received a patent. There's
nothing to be surprised about here. For far from the first time a patent
for a completely fantastic "invention" has been issued in Russia.
Is it true that the
inventors received an International Certificate of Conformity and
permission from Gossanehpidnadzor and Gosstandart? Yes, it's true, but all the
same some details ought to be clarified. Indeed a certificate of
conformity issued by an International Association, "The Soviet Quality
Association", was received. So this is far from an International
Certificate. And Gosstandart didn't give any permission.
The Deputy Director of
the NII [Scientific Research Association] of Standardization simply
informed the inventors: "A certificate is not required to produce
this product". As regards Gossanehpidnadzor, then the authorization for
the use of "GAMMA-7" instruments was signed by the Deputy Chief State
Doctor for the City of Moscow...But the neutralizer was
presented to me in Novosibirsk. The permission of a Moscow doctor isn't
valid here; nevertheless they are trying to sell the instruments.
However, is it worth finding fault if the inventors have a multitude of
favorable findings from which it follows that the instruments work and
produce a favorable effect? Well, let's look how the matter went with
the expert reviews.
Before me is the
"Finding of the Results of а Study of the Protective Operation of the
'GAMMA-7A' and 'GAMMA-7N' Devices with Regard to the Influence of
Electromagnetic Radiation of a Personal Computer and Television on
Biological Objects". It was approved by the scientific supervisor of the
project, the head of the epigenetic laboratory, Professor O. A.
Khoperskaya (N. I. Vavilov Institue of General Genetics of the Russian Academy
of Sciences)[RAS]). Let's cite one of the most impressive points of
this finding testifying to the effectiveness of the "GAMMA-7N" device.
"The neutralization of the electromagnetic radiation of a
personal computer on tadpoles by the 'GAMMA-7N" device...showed
practically complete survivability at the same time that without the
'GAMMA-7N' device all the tadpoles died in 3...7 days". I admit that
this statement aroused my suspicion. I even had to measure the power of
the dose from a television set and a personal computer with a
professional dosimetrist. It turned out that at a distance of 0.5 meters
from the screen in both cases the dosimeter does not observe any
addition to the natural background radiation level.
Only at the screen
itself is the power of the radiation comparable to natural background
radiation.
It is clear that
the radiation of a personal computer could not have led to the death of
the tadpoles. But how could there be a finding of the Institute of
General Genetics? There couldn't have been. The Institute did not
issue a finding. The Science Council of the Institute classified the action
of Ms. Khoperskaya as a forgery. And she never was a professor and
there never was a laboratory of epigenetics in the Institute in whose
name Ms. Khoperskaya spoke. I have a note from the Director of the
Institute, Academician Yu. Altukhov, in which he reports that the
finding signed by O. Khoperskaya is a forgery. The Institute has nothing
to do with the finding.
The Moscow
Institute of Information Wave Technologies presented an opinion and a finding
signed the Director of the Institute, Candidate of Technical Sciences,
V. Khokkanen. These are the only documents in which the properties
of the "GAMMA-7N" neutralizer's own radiation were researched. From them
we learn in particular about the spectral range of the radiation:
30...300gHz. The power emitted by the neutralizer is so small that the
Institute had to use an experimental highly-sensitive (10...18 watts/cm2)
radiation sensor developed together with two Nizhniy Novgorod
institutes: the Scientific Research Radiophysical Institute (NIRFI) and
the State Scientific Research Instrumentmaking Institute.
It didn't take much
work to find out that NIRFI took no part in the development of the
instrument in question. The second of these institutes simply
doesn't exist! Regarding the actual results of the tests of the
neutralizer in Mr. Khokkanen's institute, I turned to the Institute of Applied
Physics [IPF] of the RAS with a request to analyze these results. The
conclusions contained in the document sent to me over the signatures of
the IPF Deputy Director, Professor A. G. Litvak and the Chief of the
Laboratory, Candidate of Physicomathematical Sciences L. Fedoseyev,
were simply devastating. Here are several excerpts. "The
experimental highly-sensitive sensor used...by the inventors could not
physically exist". "It can be stated with confidence that
everything described in the Findings and Opinion are a forgery or a genuine
delusion by incompetent officials". And one more excerpt: "The
claims...of a new effect - 'of disruption and compensation' of
radiation – are groundless". A severe conclusion. But there could be no
other since Mr. Khokkanen is the same person who was behind the terrible
weapon which was capable, as V. Litovkin wrote ("Izvestiya", 5
October 1995), "of acting on any specific person at infinitely remote
distances at a speed greater than light and controlling him". And
even if there is a wish to kill, by ordering the heart to stop or to
causing a massive brain hemorrhage". What terrible tales! This person was
seized by phantoms, "protective field structures". Mr.
Khokkanen was given support by M. Maley, the Chairman of the Commission for
Scientific and Technical Issues of the Defense Industry. Alas, many
crooks hovered around the late M. Maley. As V. Litovkin stated, one
of the most important scientists called the workof V. Khokkanen a
fraud. Mr. Litovkin was too modest. Any normal scientist would join
in this assessment. We now turn to the results of the research of the
neutralizer's protective activity on people. In the Finding approved by
the President of the Center of Electromagnetic Safety, Doctor of
Medical Sciences Professor Yu. Grigor'yev, the conclusions are quite
evasive: "it can be assumed that in specific research conditions
the use of the 'GAMMA-7N' neutralizer could create conditions for a
tendency to develop a protective condition of an organism of the type
of a comfortable deterioration".
But, all the same,
what did the inventors say of this paper? You won't understand a thing!
However, it was clearer later. "The results of the research presented
demand further development and confirmation in view of the additional
research which has been conducted..."
In this sense the
finding of the Russian Federation Ministry of Emergency Situations
Treatment and Diagnostic Center was much more substantive. "The work
of a person for one hour in front of the screen of a working computer
leads to the deterioration of the overall energizing of his
biofield". However, "the use of the 'GAMMA-7N' neutralizer with a
working computer permitted the tendency toward a reduction in the
harmful influence from a computer on the health of a subject to be
established".
It is especially
sad that the opinion was signed by professional doctors, including
those with titles. Do they really not understand that the lack of a
control group completely nullifies the tests results? And further:
isn't it interesting to find out by what means they managed to
measure "the deterioration of the overall energizing of the biofield"? One has
to state; pseudoscience is being introduced into medicine. An alarming
symptom.
We turn now to the
findings of the1st TsNII MO RF [of the Russian Federation Ministry of
Defense] regarding the tests of the "Neutralizer" and
"Activator". It should be said that the findings prompted many
questions from me. I was especially struck, from the point of view of
physics, by the absurd effect of the protection of rats from powerful
X-ray radiation with the aid of the "Neutralizer". I turned for
explanations to Doctor of Medical Sciences, Professor V. Chumakov, chief of a
directorate of the 1st TsNII MO RF, who confirmed the findings above.
Vladimir Viktorovich answered my question obligingly. I should
note that there are no categorical confirmations of the effectiveness
of the instruments in his reply. However, it is felt that the
researchers of the TsNII who conducted the tests were not free from a certain
prejudice. "The opinion of a Committee of the Russian Federation
Ministry of Health's State Medical Inspectorate, which permitted the
distribution of the instruments, and also the results of the work
performed by other organizations was taken into account in this
matter". In order to preclude the effects of personal prejudice I turned to
the Institute of Physiology of the Siberian Branch of the Russian
Academy of Medical Sciences with a request to comment on the above
materials of the 1st TsNII MO RF. Here are excerpts from the
finding of the chief of the Institute of Physiology's laboratory, Doctor of
Medical Sciences Professor K. Shoshenko. "I think that Doctor V.
Chumakov understands the frivolity of the findings which he confirmed very
well. Therefore he is switching from support of the inventors about the
favorable influence of the "GAMMA" apparatuses they tested (the finding of
24.07.97) to doubts, and in the letter of 01.02.99, he mentions
only the need "to identify the theoretical possibility of
recording the effects of the use of the "GAMMA-7" proclaimed by the
inventors with standard biometric and non-traditional methods. The general
conclusion of Prof. K. Shoshenko is this: "In my view, both findings
did not present sufficiently well-founded proof of the influence of the
'GAMMA-7' and 'GAMMA-7N' devices on animal and human organisms".
These are all the
documents proper. Alas, they do not prove that the miracle instruments
serve either as panaceas for illnesses or for bad ecology. However,
there is still the book of Candidates of Medical Sciences S. Sineok and
I. Yeliseyev that I mentioned above. It is written for people who
are well acquainted with the subject. As indicated in the
foreword, for at least 10 years (!) Svetlana Vladimirovna Sineok,
has participated in the introduction of "neutralizers" and
"activators" into medical practice. Consequently, the instruments began
to be adopted two years before the discovery of microlepton fields! I
should confess that I read the book in one sitting. No offense to
Mark Twain, but his "tall tales" pale before this "masterpiece". I
found out from the little book that the "energy saturation of the
human organism is provided by a synthesis of three
fields: coulomb,
lepton, and magnetic", and that "in a biological subject the magnetic
field is an efficient substation and is controlled by a lepton field. A
lepton field is its primogenitor and director".
At one of the
lectures at Novosibirsk State University I cited yet one more find of the
authors of the book: "There has been a swift reduction of the coulomb field
of our space during the last decade because of poor ecology". The
students assessed this "pearl". Homeric laughter broke out. Alas, the
little book was not written for the public's amusement. It had a
different purpose. It thoroughly mixes mysticism, superstition,
charlatanism, the outrageous ignorance of the authors themselves, flavors
all this mixture with quasi-scientific terminology, and presents this
nonsense as the latest achievements of science. Babbling about "the
evil eye", "spells", "curses", etc. the authors are naturally writing
completely without foundation: "that which was earlier rejected by
science as superstition now finds its explanation and confirmation".
We have already
talked about fraud with microleptons. Unlike the latter, leptons are
elementary particles that actually exist. Look how Sineok and Yeliseyev
"adapt" them. "In spite of its mysteriousness, the lepton field is
omnipresent: thought, clairvoyance, biopathogenic zones, Hartmann space,
information channels, tornadoes and tsunamis, the Bermuda Triangle,
torsion radiation, earthquakes and eruptions of volcanoes,
thunderstorms, ball lightning, acupuncture points, Khrapov poles, all these are a
primary or secondary manifestation of a lepton field". And this is
quite surprising, the latter-day "scientists" inform us, not
troubling themselves at all with proofs. Of course, it's no trouble to catch
them often contradicting one another. Here's an example for you. The
authors of the book state: "research...has shown that active bands of
an orthogonal lattice grid directed north-south causes most
cardiovascular illnesses, and bands going in the east-west direction lead to
inflammations, arthritis, and rheumatism". But here General G. Rogozin,
who is not unknown and who often did much to introduce occultism
into the entourage around the President, stated in a recent interview
that "...normal people sleep with their head to the north in accordance
with magnetic lines of force". Whom will you order to believe? Yes, no
one.
The well-known
Rusisan neurophysiologist Academician P. Simonov sent the sponsor of the
law, "The Protection of the Human Psychosphere", Deputy V. Ilyukhin, a
brief comment about the bill. A deep thought was contained in the
comment. "Just as law and legality operate until the principle of the
presumption of innocence is exercised, science relies on the principle of
the presumption of what has been proven. It deals
only with phenomena
whose reality has proven by their regular repeatability and the
possibility of reproducing the results of the experiment...All the
rest belongs to the realm of faith, but you can believe what you want
inasmuch as freedom of conscience is guaranteed by the law". Well said.
Yes, science has nothing in common with faith.
And if we follow the
above principle of the presumption of what has been proved strictly,
no ignorant little books and "neutralizers" with "activators" and
drafts of the aforementioned laws with an obviously mercenary subtext will
appear. But people will understand that there is no energy information
exchange, but there is energy information fraud!"
