Here I
am with one of my heroes - physicist Dr.
Tom Campbell (on the right.)
Dr. Campbell discovered the answer to two of the most important
mysteries that have baffled physicists for almost a century -
why is the speed of light a maximum constant and why did the famous
"Double Slit" experiment in the 1920's show that consciousness
was a determining factor in whether light appeared as a wave or
particle?
Not only did the Double Slit experiment give rise to the new physics
of Quantum Mechanics, it forced Einstein, Baum and other top physicists
to realize that reality was created by consciousness. However,
they were at a loss to explain why or how consciousness was involved
in the process. So it's a remarkable accomplishment by Dr. Campbell
to discover the answer, but it's a shame that Dr. Einstein and
Dr. Baum aren't alive to get the answer to the question that plagued
them for the rest of their lives.
As the Nobel Prize winning physicist Eugene P. Wigner said, "It
will remain remarkable, in what ever way our future concepts may
develop, that the very study of the external world led to the scientific
conclusion that the content of the consciousness is the ultimate
universal reality." |

| Here
are a couple of people who grew up in Japan standing at the entrance
to Himeji Castle. The fact that Kim is a native speaker was incredibly
helpful during our recent trip to Japan. |

Castle is the only one from the samurai era that was completely undamaged
by bombing during World War II. |

|
| Since
part of our trip involved researching behind the scenes operations
at Japan Airlines, I was given the rare honor of taking off from
and landing at Tokyo's Narita airptort in a JAL 747 flight simulator. |

| Japan
Airlines is incredibly safety conscious. All cabin crew members are
givien yearly refresher training in various emergency procedures.
Here's Kim participating in a water landing drill. |

I went
to a ranch at the foot of Mt. Adams in Washington state for a week
of solitude to do some writing. While at the ranch, which has a reputation
for being a UFO hotspot, I was very interested to see some strange
objects flying in the night skies above the mountain. I don't know
if they were "ours" or "theirs", but as someone
who has briefly piloted a few airplanes (civilian and military)
and ridden in a lot more, I can say that the objects behaved differently
from any publicly known craft!
The day before
I left the ranch, a fire broke out on the mountain. It was particularly
sad to me, since I'm an animal lover, as you might have guessed
from my May 2008 adventure. |

After the strike,
I went back to work on BONES at the Fox Studio and found one of
the Commissary lawn squirrels lost three levels underground in
the parking garage. I gave it a ride back up to the lawn in my
Prius since I like to help the "underdog" - see Nov.
