Special Press Release:
Dr Vernon Neppe and Dr
Edward Close win prestigious ISPE international prize: the Whiting Memorial
Award for 2016.
Dr. Edward Close and Dr.
Vernon Neppe were honored on 9 August 2016 with the coveted 2016
Whiting Memorial Award for “expanding boundaries of scientific
understanding”. The Whiting Memorial Fund is a philanthropic fund
administered by the International Society for Philosophical Enquiry (‘ISPE’)
(www.thethousand.com)
to “reward individuals and groups, whose accomplishments and goals
exemplify the ideals of ISPE”.
This international award
is open to anyone worldwide in any discipline, and is given to a person/
persons or organization (outside or within ISPE) who typifies the I.S.P.E.
ideal of “someone who strives to benefit society in general through
advanced enquiry, original research and/or creative contributions, and who has
demonstrated significant progress in these endeavors.” This sought
after Prize, therefore, can be given to anyone worldwide in any discipline. The
award may be conferred yearly, but historically has been seldom awarded,
because it is only conferred when the committee unanimously chooses a worthy
nominee. ISPE’s only mission is “to attract the world’s most
intellectually gifted individuals and hopefully direct their achievements for
the betterment of all humankind.” ISPE advances no political,
governmental, religious, race, gender, ethnic, activist or academic agenda. “This
is what ISPE is all about: Making our world better by encouraging profound
excellence”, emphasized Stephen Levin, the ISPE President. “This
award should have happened a long time ago to Drs Neppe and Close. It’s
well-deserved and too long coming.”
What is unique is that
the ISPE organization played a special major role in this first joint award of
the Whiting Prize: Vernon Neppe MD, PhD, Fellow Royal
Society (SAf), and Edward Close PhD, PE, actually met through their
ISPE membership. Moreover, these two scientists deliberately specifically
joined ISPE to collaborate with another member on developing a unified
theoretical model for reality: They had both already developed their own models
but “we regarded that as insufficient. We needed to combine any
expertise and knowledge we had to progress with this task, which we regarded
as, and still regard as, the ‘song we’re singing in this world’. This
work gone beyond us and we realize that development of an entirely new model of
reality is of groundbreaking importance,” Dr Neppe commented.
The two scientists have
subsequently worked together for eight years and probably spent 4000 hours each
on their TDVP paradigm shifting work. Drs Close and Neppe have needed to apply
the empirical and theoretical findings of quantum physics, mathematical logic,
philosophy, biology, psychology and consciousness research. But often it has
been their creative jumps into the unknown that have been most important.
Hundreds of scientists worldwide have examined aspects of the Neppe-Close work,
which many have compared with an advanced multidisciplinary graduate degree
which requires significant study and application. Therefore, there are only a
few experts worldwide.
The Whiting Prize has
not been awarded to an ISPE member since 2008. The ISPE is a worldwide 1 in
1000 intelligence organization currently with about 500 members that emphasizes
progression through different levels of accomplishment. Drs Close and Neppe
have both attained the highest public level of ‘Diplomate of the ISPE’ (where there
are about 2 dozen worldwide).
This is not their first
award for their research: In February 2013 in Puebla, Mexico, Dr Neppe and Dr
Close received the well-respected Gabino Barreda Award and medal involving the
earlier version of their critically important metaparadigm “Triadic Dimensional
Distinction Vortical Paradigm” (TDVP).
By that stage, Close and
Neppe had empirically shown how Space, Time, and Consciousness (STC) are all
separate, and not just being ‘derivative of each other’ in our 3S-1t reality.
Instead, STC is always in union. They further argued cogently that we have gone
beyond Minkowski’s 1908 union of ‘Space-Time’ and as of 2011, we have their new
proposed union of ‘Space-Time-Consciousness’ (STC).
The
Space-Time-Consciousness (STC) union is strongly substantiated in their massive
500 page book ‘Reality Begins With Consciousness: A Paradigm Shift that
Works’ (www.brainvoyage.com) and in
peer-reviewed publications. They contended there must be a ‘triad’: Not only is
Space and Time always together, but that three of Space, Time and the Extent
of Consciousness are inseparably tethered together.
They had also
demonstrated that the Neppe-Close model of the ‘Triadic
Dimensional-Distinction Vortical Paradigm’ (TDVP) is very versatile in
explaining numerous facets of reality without contradiction: TDVP scores
perfectly on criteria for a a so-called ‘Theory of Everything’ (TOE). TDVP
scores 39/39; other than their own previous models at 27 and 23/39
respectively, none of the 21 others examined have scored even 20/39.
They had also proposed a
mind-brain philosophical model that could justify our regular
three spatial dimensions in a moment of time experience of reality, as well as
the infinite, survival after death, altered states of consciousness, and psi.
This is the Neppe-Close philosophy of Unified Monism, incorporating
their TDVP scientific and mathematical model. This is well supported. and
allows a different perspective from the philosophically restricted options of
‘Consciousness is derivative of Space-Time or Mass-energy’ or vice versa:
‘Consciousness’ in this context has its own dimensional ‘extent’ identity—this
‘extent’ of consciousness is necessarily inseparably tethered to Space and
Time. They argued that life, and order have links with the infinite, and that
there is still meaning in the inanimate.
However, ironically,
that Mexican award preceded what might have developed into even more major
contributions, which were direct results of those previous hypotheses and
findings. But this time they could prove their work mathematically and extend
it in paradigm shifting ways. These scientists were able to mathematically demonstrate that
finite reality involves 9 spinning dimensions, that all particles
are in union with the third property ‘gimmel’ thought to be consciousness at
least in part, that this gimmel is mass-less and energy-less and in union with
mass and energy such that every fermionic particle at the subatomic level have
different properties and that the materialistic model of the atom is refuted,
and that the proportions of dark matter and dark energy to the cosmos,
correlates exactly with the ratio of gimmel to TRUE in the
equivalent cosmological elements, namely predominantly Hydrogen and also
Helium. These findings suggest that the same laws of nature apply
for quantum, macroscopic and cosmological levels, something different from
current thinking about ‘quantum weirdness’.
Effectively, their work
goes a long way to showing that spirituality and science are linked together and
that mathematics is part of the broader reality of our existence, not just a
way of calculating.
These scientists look
forward to furthering their work and facilitating others to incorporate these
concepts into their further research. They have never received any funding and
hope this recognition may be an impetus for this to change.
