Alternative Energy/Physics/Astronomy/Climatology Research

The Starburst Foundation, Portland, OR & Niskayuna, NY; 1984 present (starburstfound.org)

President and director of the Starburst Foundation, a nonprofit scientific research institute. Have

carried out scientific research in physics, astronomy, cosmology, climatology, geology and solar

energy. Most of this research focused on: a) Galactic superwaves and their effects on the Earth,

and b) on the subquantum kinetics physics and its astronomical predictions. Findings are

described below. Made science-related trips to Greece, Switzerland, France, Germany, and Holland.

Have authored over 40 research proposals. Have raised government and private funds for research.

Alternative energy research:

2007 - present. Am collaborating with a company in Greece to test the performance of a novel

alternate energy device they have developed and to investigate means of improving its output.

This is an electrically powered device designed to replace an oil or gas furnace and to provide hot

water for building heating. Preliminary tests indicate that it should significantly reduce consumer

home heating bills (possibly by a factor of 3). If tests bear this out will be investigating ways of

marketing it in the U.S. Also will be testing an add on device that the company claims reduces

auto gas consumption by 12% to 20%. This technology may also be applied to improve the fuel

efficiency of trucks and boats.

Am also assisting a group of U.S. inventors who have developed a means of generating heat by

accelerating the rate of radioactive decay of radioactive waste or low grade radioactive ores. This

has application to both home heating and nuclear waste remediation.

Solar energy research: 2004 - 2005. Was principle investigator on a project to build and test a

new type of solar water still. Research carried out at California Water Institute, California State

University, Fresno campus; funded by the California Energy Innovation Small Grants Program.

Advanced aerospace propulsion NASA consulting. Consulted with NASA in 1992 and 1993

regarding their Aero-Space Plane Program to advise on a wing electrification propulsion

technology that would reduce air frictional heating of the Space Shuttle and Space Plane wing

surface. They unfortunately did not implement my suggestions which could have prevented the

Columbia Space Shuttle disaster that occurred 13 years later and which was caused by wing

heating and failure during reentry. Submitted a white paper to the Columbia Accident

Investigation Board detailing this (starburstfound.org/downloads/aerospace/Columbia.html), but

received no further contact. Also in 1990 participated in NASA's Space Exploration Outreach

Project (SEOP) suggesting similar electro-gravitic propulsion ideas.

Have also done research on advanced aerospace field propulsion technology that has been

developed or is under development in highly classified military programs. This includes methods

of propelling aircraft using high voltage electric fields, high power microwave beams, or rotating

magnetic fields. See the book Secrets of Antigravity Propulsion (listed below). All these

technologies would completely revolutionize the airline industry if declassified and made

commercially available. These technologies also have application to commercial power

production. Am known for having reverse engineered the propulsion system of the B2 bomber,

various magazines have covered these findings, also disclosed in the above mentioned book.

Physics/Astronomy/Climatology Research Findings while with Starburst Foundation

Radio astronomy. Conducted observations with the VLA (Very Large Array) radio

interferometry telescope at Socorro, NM, 1988. Observed the southwestern tip of CTB 80, an

unusual radio-emitting source in Cygnus. Synthesized an image of a radio hot spot that was

emitting polarized emission. Experience in reading antennae raw data output, in transferring data

from the mainframe to the data processing terminal, and in using image processing software to

process the mapping of the observations.

Microphysics. Developed a new approach to particle-field theory called "subquantum kinetics"

that models quanta and fields as derivative phenomena emerging from a set of nonlinear,

nonequilibrium reaction-kinetic equations (LaV, 1985a-c, 1990b, 1992a, 1994, 1995, 2003, 2005a,

2008). Twelve a priori predictions of this physics so far have been verified. Also has application

to aerospace propulsion and energy production.

Cosmology. Using recent cosmological data compared the big bang expanding universe

hypothesis to a nonexpanding universe, tired-light cosmology to see which fit data better (LaV,

1986a, 2003). Results published in Ap.J. and were reported in Astronomy magazine.

Galactic astronomy. Discoverer of the planetary-stellar mass-luminosity relation. Demonstrated

that stellar and planetary mass-luminosity data supports a key photon blueshifting prediction of

the subquantum kinetics cosmology (LaV, 1991b, 1992b, 1994, 1995). Published predictions on

galaxy evolution were later confirmed by Hubble Space Telescope findings on the morphology of

galaxies in high-redshift galactic clusters.

Brown dwarf mass-luminosity prediction. Accurately predicted that the mass-luminosity coordi-

nates for brown dwarfs should fall along the lower main sequence stellar mass-luminosity relation

(LaV, 1985, 1992, 1994, and 1995). This was later confirmed when data became available on the

M-L coordinates of brown dwarfs (LaV, 1996).

Pioneer effect prediction. Accurately predicted the maser signal blueshifting anomaly 18 years

before the announcement of its discovery in the Pioneer spacecraft data (LaV, 1985, 2005a).

High-energy astrophysics. Correctly predicted that volleys of cosmic rays can travel through the

Galaxy along rectilinear trajectories at near light speed and that they, periodically pass through the

local interstellar environment. Later confirmed by observations of cosmic ray pulses coming

from Cygnus X-3 and Hercules X-1.

Ulysses spacecraft prediction. Correctly predicted in 1983 and 1987 that interstellar dust has

recently entered the solar system from the Galactic center direction (LaV, 1983a, 1987a). Later

confirmed by the Ulysses spacecraft observations and New Zealand radar observations (LaV,

1993).

Climatology: Ice age cosmic dust incursion. Discovered that 15,850 year old acidity peaks in

Antarctic ice recur with a solar cycle period, evidence that climate was affected by invading cosmic

dust (LaV, 2005b).

Prehistoric global warming. Have shown evidence that the warming at the end of the last ice age

occurred simultaneously in both hemispheres indicating that a global warming had taken place.

This explains why the ice sheets were melting so rapidly at that time. I propose the cause

involved over activity by the ancient Sun due to a cosmic dust incursion.

Planetesimal impacts. Estimated the mass of the 1908 Tunguska comet from elemental con-

centrations in Antarctic ice (LaV, 2005c).

Electromagnetic hazards. Conducted an outreach project in 1989 that informed governments and

nongovernmental organizations about the EMP hazards associated with the possible arrival of an

intense gamma ray pulse.

Foreign relations (glaciology) Spearheaded the current US-Soviet ice core exchange program, the

first of its kind. Resulted in closer ties between U.S. and Russian ice core programs (Starburst).

Civil Rights Protection (1999 - 2000): Initiated a work place discrimination suit that resulted in

expanding the scope of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (LaViolette v. Daley). The

resulting decision allows the EEOC to rule over cases that involve work place discrimination

against a person on the basis of his/her scientific beliefs in cases where such beliefs are

interconnected with the individual's spiritual or religious beliefs. The case generated considerable

publicity and has been discussed in workers rights publications and in the law school classroom.

To counter disinformation that has circulated on the internet about my case and to clarify the

nature of my own beliefs, I will be publishing a paper about my case in a leading worker's rights

journal.

Protesting Academic Suppression of Innovative Ideas (2004 - present): Organized a

group of physicists to create a website (archivefreedom.org) protesting the arxiv.org electronic

preprint archive run by Cornell University which has a history of blacklisting certain scientists

and academics (including Nobel Laureate Brian Josephson) and blocking them from posting

their papers. Currently work to maintain the archivefreedom website. Have succeeded in getting

National Science Foundation to suspend funding to the Cornell program.

International Solar Consulting (1975 - 77): Project consultant on solar energy for the Fourth

Report to Club of Rome. Advised the Greek National Power Authority on the feasibility of

photovoltaic power production for Greece. Advised the Greek government on a proposal to set

up a solar energy R& D institute. Listed as a UN solar energy expert. U.S. and Greek media

publicity is posted at: http://starburstfound.org/downloads/solar/Oregonjournal.jpg, ../Gazette.jpg,

../Eleftheroskosmos.jpg Eleftherotypia.jpg, ../Tanea.jpg.

Doctoral work (astronomy/climatology/geology) (1976 - 83)

Evaluated a variety of astronomical and geological evidence which suggest that intense cosmic ray

volleys emitted from the Galactic core periodically pass through the Sun's vicinity and affect the

Earth's climate by injecting submicron cosmic dust particles into the Solar System (LaV, 1983a,

1987a, 1990a). Fourteen a priori predictions of this theory have so far been verified.

Also conducted innovative research to determine whether ice-age polar ice might contain high

concentrations of cosmic dust. Geochemically analyzed dust samples (1 - 500 mg ) filtered from

ice-age polar ice using the neutron activation analysis technique (15 different elements analyzed).

Was the first to discover high concentrations of cosmic dust and gold in ice age polar ice; the

results have significant implications for understanding the cause of abrupt climatic change. Carried

out a total of four nuclear irradiations (LaV, 1983a-c, 1985b,c, 1987b, 1988).

Continued this work at the Starburst Foundation conducted electron microscopy, energy

dispersive X-ray, and mass spec. analysis of dust particles in tin-bearing polar ice dust sample

(possibly of extraterrestrial origin), collaborated with researchers at OSU, CalTech, & Curtin Univ.

First ever discovery of an isotopic anomaly in the element of tin.

Other Experience

U.S. Patent Office, Arlington, VA, 1998-99. Served as a physicist/patent examiner.

College administration. Fall 1989 served as V P of Academic Affairs for a four-year college in

Greece (~4000 students, 200 faculty). Coordinated faculty and staff suggestions aimed at reorgan-

izing the college's operations. Explored EEC funding sources for the college research program.

Independent consulting, Los Angeles, CA, 1985; advised Hughes Aircraft Corp. on ways of

stimulating employee creativity. The theory of creative thought formation, which I co-developed,

has been taught to other major corporations. One CEO at Hughes told me that they saved over $40

million by applying these creativity stimulating principles to their work force.

Educational Psychology 1977-86 Developed a theory that penetrates the mystery of how the brain

and mind function to produce creative thoughts, accounting for the aha experience and other

cognitive phenomena. Examined its implications for education (LaV, 1979, 1980, 1982, 1986b).

This theory was incorporated into university education courses and has been cited in several books,

articles, and master's theses and covered in two special issues of the Brain/Mind Bulletin. In 1982

was invited to speak on this at an education colloquium sponsored by Berkeley School of

Education and Institute of Noetic Sciences. Also applied to industry; see above Hughes consulting.

Resource Planning Assoc., Cambridge, MA, 1974 75. Staff consultant. Conducted a comparative

study of several federal product regulatory programs to advise the EPA on procedures for

implementing a program to regulate the manufacture of recyclable beverage containers. Also

assisted in formulating a DOE report to Congress which determined the energy savings associated

with increased levels of recycling.

Solar-Aquatics Corp., Boston, MA, 1974 77. Served as the director of research and engineering.

Invented, developed, patented, and marketed an improved breathing apparatus (LaV, 1977a).

Harvard School of Public Health (Dept. of Environmental Health Sci.), Boston, MA, 1970 72,

Served as a research assistant. Carried out an occupational safety research study to determine the

effectiveness of dust masks. Designed and tested personnel air dust sampling equipment., and

measured mine worker exposures. Also invented and developed a miniature air-pulsation dampener

for use on personnel mass respirable air sampling pumps (LaV, 1972). Currently is in use by

industry. In addition, I researched the pneumatic characteristics of respirator components to aid in

the design of safer rebreather apparatus for worker protection. Also participated in a Harvard

project that sampled and measured SO2, NOx, CO, and respirable particulate in various Boston

street locations using a portable air sampler.

Myth symbolism (archaeoastronomy): Have researched creation myths and lores from ancient

Egypt, Mesopotamia, Greece, South America, and the Far East. Am the first to show that they use

metaphor to purposefully express a highly sophisticated cosmological science. These findings

open up a whole new understanding of these ancient lores as significant as the decipherment of the

Rosetta Stone. The findings are presented in my books Genesis of the Cosmos and Earth Under

Fire.
