TDVP
STIRS SOME CONTROVERSY
A critique of the Triadic Dimensional Distinction
Paradigm (TDVP) has been published in the fourth quarter 2018 issue of Telicom,
the journal of the International Society for Philosophical Enquiry (ISPE), an
organization in which both Dr. Vernon Neppe and I hold the highest earned rank.
We have prepared separate responses: My response deals mainly with the math and
physics, while Dr. Neppe’s response deals with the philosophy of science
aspects of the criticisms. Our responses will be published in the next issue of
Telicom.
I hope all who have read the critique, entitled “An Evaluation of TDVP” by physicists J.E.F.
Kaan and Simon Olling Rebsdorf, will also read our responses. The “evaluation”
contains more than forty misunderstandings, misinterpretations and erroneous
statements, stemming mainly from the authors’ failure to understand the basics
of TDVP physics and mathematical proofs.
Scientific paradigm shifts are
often strongly denounced, maligned and ridiculed by mainstream scientists when they
are first introduced. There are many reasons that this happens, including defense
of established ideas, vested interest, intellectual arrogance, and pride. TDVP is
no exception. In fact, because it introduces consciousness into the equations
of physics and includes explanations of spiritual phenomena, it draws more criticism,
anger and vitriol from mainstream scientists than most paradigm shifts, partially
because many mainstream scientists are avowed atheists.
One of the claims that critics like Kaan and Rebsdorf
make is that no “real” scientists have reviewed our work. Nothing could be
further from the truth. The book “Reality Begins with Consciousness” (www.BrainVoyage.com) by Neppe and Close,
and an increasing number of peer-reviewed papers, as well as journal articles
and posts on this blog, have been well received by a growing number of
scientists world-wide. Over 200 scientists have reviewed some or all of our
work. Here are a few comments by some of them:
Dr. David Stewart, PhD, DNM, mathematical physicist, author of 17 books, the world’s leading
authority on therapeutic essential oils, has
read almost all of our work. He wrote:
“The Close-Neppe seminal work in creating TDVP
constitutes one of the most profound and far-reaching discoveries and
developments in the history of the sciences. …“When two polymaths make
discoveries that are so groundbreaking they change the whole fabric of reality,
it is clear that this is Nobel Prize material.”- “The authors’
many years of labor will be appreciated for centuries to come. …The exceptional metaparadigm of the Neppe-Close TDVP
model certainly is worthy of the highest of prizes because it has redefined the
spiritual within the scientific, and with another related Neppe-Close
achievement LFAF (Lower Dimensional Feasibility Absent Falsification) has
allowed the formal integration of spirituality into science by extending
definitions of science to include what is feasible. These works are actually
Nobel Prize worthy, and have been for a number of years. The only thing that
could have been argued against a Nobel in 2016, was to say, ‘All these
mathematical calculations fit. But are they, in fact, empirically based? Are
they relevant? Or are they just as irrelevant as the various String Theories or
Superstring Theories?’ We can now say quite definitively that ‘the truly
remarkable and meaningful Neppe-Close TDVP work is empirically based’: The CERN
data calculated using mass-energy equivalent figures are exactly the same
derivations that appear for the Close-Neppe Triadic Rotational Units of
Equivalence (TRUE). This means that their TDVP data is real and based on
mathematically sound empirical data, not just mathematical. In other words,
combining the third substance ‘gimmel’ that Close demonstrated is absolutely
necessary for our stable quantal, macroworld, and our cosmological existence, the
mass/energy volumetric equivalence of subatomic particles -- namely electrons
(1), protons (1836) and neutrons (1839)--exactly correspond with the normalized
figures …This means that TRUE and gimmel is real. There is now no argument that
these discoveries are relevant and empirically verifiable ….”
Israeli scientist, Dr. Adrian Klein, DD, PhD, a
leading biophysicist, has critically
examined almost all our work. He says TDVP is:
“The beginning of the ultimate disclosure about the nature of an all-encompassing
reality…A monumental work forcing obsolete preconceptions to crumble.
The 21st Century's revolutionary paradigm shift …(Neppe and Close) have unique
moral strength to confront destabilizing adversities …to underpin this
universal truth with physical-mathematical rigor and proofs.…Demolishing by
these proofs the last crutches of materialistic tenets, they bring a massive
contribution to the advancement of Real Science… (TDVP) has
laid a foundation for all future science to develop. The world of scientific
understanding, in all fields, has been permanently changed, and set in a new
direction. The future of all mankind is forever brighter because of what they
have done.… they will both be awarded … a Nobel Prize in Physics (or)
equivalent Mathematics Fields Medal. …The Neppe-Close contributions will change mankind's future. A seismic shift in understanding the
understanding process itself! …The 21st Century's revolutionary paradigm
shift.
Indian atomic physicist Surendra
Pokharna, PhD says:
“These two scientists [Close and Neppe] were
unanimously equal recipients of the rarely awarded worldwide highly respected, prestigious interdisciplinary, open-to-all prize, the 2016 Whiting Memorial Award from the…ISPE for TDVP…an earthshaking paradigm shift. (www.tddvp.com)
Their extraordinarily groundbreaking TDVP
paradigm which they jointly have painstakingly developed over ten years. stands as the most profound
scientific work of this century. TDVP deserves a Nobel Prize in Physics (and) involves not just one breakthrough, but
constitutes many revolutionary advances. [They have proved]
we cannot have any
particle, tiny or macroscopic or in our astronomical reality, without what is
called ‘gimmel’— Neppe, Close and I and others regard
gimmel as consciousness, or its vehicle as there is simply no other explanation
… Neppe and
Close have provided the data to solve complex questions by TDVP. Effectively,
once one introduces extra dimensions, infinite continuity which embeds the 9
finite quantized dimensions, and consciousness/gimmel—“the God Matrix”— with
math proofs plus unified reality as key points, the solutions for all finite
reality become easier. This is why their TDVP model—unlike any other scientific
model based on the Theory of Everything (TOE) criteria analysis—works, and why
TDVP so closely reflects and encompasses the spiritual aspects.”
Dr. Alan Hugenot DSc, a uniquely qualified physicist and parapsychological researcher wrote:
“After having first read
their papers my initial personal reaction was ‘This deserves a Nobel prize’!
Later, I discovered that these two polymaths belong to the same high intellect
societies in which I held personal membership, and in my opinion, they appear
to be amongst the most creative thinkers currently advancing science in our
world today.” … Ultimately, these two creative genius scientists have changed the world. …in order to look at the
mathematics, Neppe and Close have recognized that there needs to be volume in
everything. And if something is volumetric, this means it is 3-dimensional; it
effectively can be calculated mathematically in terms of cubes. This leads to a
whole string of Diophantine equations and what calculations do and do not fit
within our empirical reality… the far-reaching
implications of the TDVP groundbreaking paradigm… worthy of several separate Nobel Prizes”. …“The Neppe-Close contributions …might take 50
years… to register with the myopic main-stream scientific establishment, which
continues to ignore the clear implications of the delayed choice double-slit
experiment, comfortable in their classical Newtonian perspectives. So large is
this sea-change in science, because this relates to 3s-1t (as well as the ‘hidden’
additional dimensions) that it will modify our understanding of Relativity
theory. Relativity is not wrong; but there has to be extensions of this theory
beyond our currently limited standard model…even Planck’s quantum has been
modified by Neppe-Close.…this difference is profound.”
The well-known author, Dr. Larry Dossey MD, winner of
numerous awards, Chief
Editor of Explore,
said:
“…an enormous contribution whose significance may surpass, even
the profound implications of TDVP for cosmology and physics…Neppe and Close
have reversed the dismal conclusions of materialistic science toward
consciousness, and have made the concept of immortality and the survival of
bodily death scientifically respectable…The main contribution of Neppe and
Close has been made, the deed is done. This may make all the difference in
humanity’s psychospiritual equipoise. …It
is difficult to imagine a greater contribution.”
Dr. Leonard Horowitz, award-winning writer, film-maker,
polymath, and author of twenty-one books wrote:
“Math doesn’t lie. Nor does Neppe
and Close misrepresent or omit substantive facts explaining reality in their
thesis. … Geniuses Neppe and Close apply honest principles from their TDVP model that mathematically proves the
existence and operation of the ‘Higher Intelligence’ administering precognition
(or intuition). … (They) go further than anyone else in addressing the numerous
aspects …neglected by their scientific predecessors… ”
Dr. Gary E. Schwartz, PhD, Professor of psychology, medicine, neurology,
psychiatry, and surgery, University of Arizona, Tucson, wrote:
“Dear Ed and Vernon, First, it was wonderful hearing Ed present at the ASCI
meetings. … I found myself understanding, appreciating, and celebrating
what the two of you have been doing. In fact, as I look over the 40 years
of my attending scientific meetings, Ed's presentation is among THE MOST
MEMORABLE AND MEANINGFUL of my entire academic (and personal) life”.
Many more PhD professors
and researchers have responded briefly to our book
Reality Begins with Consciousness (RBC) as follows:
Dean Radin
PhD, the world’s leading parapsychological researcher: Close
and Neppe’s book, “RBC [is] in a radical multidisciplinary class by
itself”;
Alan
Bachers PhD: “an
astonishing and prodigious accomplishment!”;
John
Poynton PhD: “encyclopedic … broad exploratory paradigm for
new scientific ideas”;
Lance Storm PhD: “a paradigm
shift that hails in, if not, beckons for, a kind of scientific overhaul and
shift in thinking”;
Helmut Wautischer PhD “will shape
philosophical discourse … a profound value to the future of humankind…masterful…”
Joyce
Hawkes PhD, FAAAS, biophysicist and the leading
exponent of healing: “…any one of these [31] areas, let alone the
combination would be a very substantial reason for Drs. Neppe and Close to be recipients of major prizes”;
Stanley Krippner
PhD, pioneer of world Humanistic Psychology: “destined to become a classic in the
literature on shifting paradigms and worldviews”.
And, there are many more.
We are currently corresponding with a number of PhD professionals
interested in the applications and implications of TDVP and the natural quantum
units of the calculus of dimensional distinctions. I have had a number of
informal discussions with Mr. Kaan over a period of several years, but I can’t
say that they were very productive, because his comments were generally
negative, with no in-depth discussion of the concepts behind TDVP; and I have
had no previous discussions with Mr. Rebsdorf.
As a preview of the Telicom articles pro-and-con TDVP,
here are some brief excerpts from Kaan and Rebsdorf’s article, with excerpts
from my reply. In their Summary and Conclusions, oddly placed at the beginning
of the article instead of the end, they say:
“TDVP claims to
have been able to improve on the Standard Model of Particle Physics (SMPP). Yet
from our analysis, such “improvements” do not appear scientifically correct,
i.e., they have not been derived with proper physics methods. In addition,
there are no concrete, quantitative, accurate measurements/experiments to
support TDVP’s claims.”
Farther along in the article, they expand several
times on the claim that our methods are not “proper physics methods”. Here is one
example:
“Close
calculated negative numbers for gimmel, but then continued with some number juggling
(with arbitrary integers for gimmel), until the whole thing seemed to work
again, which is not an established sound method in physics.”
My response, in part:
“The negative
calculated values were simply part of the iterative computation used to
establish the minimum possible integral solution. None of the values used …were
“arbitrary”. And any experimental or theoretical physicist should be familiar
with the method of using best estimates as the starting point to iteratively
zero in on the values that actually satisfy an equation. This method, called iterative
computation, is used routinely and extensively in applied physics and
engineering.” And I gave a reference supporting my answer.
Concerning their statement “there are no concrete, quantitative, accurate measurements/experiments
to support TDVP’s claims” I responded with:
“In fact, we
have checked upwards of fifty specific instances to see if TDVP actually works
for prior existing experiments, and it does.”
The most important concept that K&R failed to
grasp, is the need for a calculus with measurement units that are derived from
the natural quanta of the real world. This failure is clear in their reference
to Figure 1, on page 147 of their article:
“… the mass values are assumed to be integers,
apparently to be in line with quantum physics. Yet from the data in Figure 1,
we can see the quark masses are not integer at all. The same will, of course,
be found in any text on this topic.”
Excerpts from my answer:
“ …these data for quarks (in their figure), along with
the mass of the electron, are the actual data used in the derivation of natural
quantum units in the TDVP calculations. Quark masses are naturalized to the mass of the electron, the most accurately known quantum mass. The way they are naturalized is straight-forward and should be understood
by any physicist or mathematician.”
And:
“ The derivation of natural quantum units for TDVP has
been published several times, including in Reality
Begins with Consciousness and in several peer-reviewed papers in addition
to my Transcendental Physics blog — http://www.erclosetphysics.com.”
(And, I gave references.)
“Any quantum physicist should be familiar with the
conversion of SI units to natural units. and physicists should at least be
familiar with naturalized Planck units. They shouldn’t have to be told why that,
even though mass is quantized, the values in Figure 1 are not integers. They are not integers because the units of
measurement being used are not naturalized quantum equivalence units.”
Why did two intelligent men (they are members of ISPE) with Masters degrees in physics make such obvious blunders? It appears that they did not actually try to understand
TDVP because they were focused on defending the standard model.
As I say in my conclusions, at the end of my response article:
“It appears that the authors believe TDVP can’t be correct,
because it includes consciousness as an integral part of reality, conflicting
with the dogma of mainstream physics”.
After the responses are published in Telicom, I will post more.
