Request for Achievement of Scientific Greatness |

Government Manifesto

Letter
It is well established that the greatest scientific
problem of all time is that of how to marry relativity theory with quantum
theory. Relativity is the natural law of
space and time and is based on lightspeed.
Quantum theory is the natural law of matter and is based on Planck’s
constant. I have solved this problem by
re-cognizing the fact that lightspeed and Planck’s constant are the same
boundary of the spacetime continuum. My
theory of one meets the criteria of scientific greatness in that it is simple,
beautiful and it explains everything.
Without being melodramatic, I would like to point out that this is an
ontological truth which needs to be answered.
I
have struggled both in developing the theory and in bringing it to the
attention of authorities. The problem is
that its province lies far outside of everyday experience. But I am confident that once people realize
just how simple it is—they will embrace the theory and welcome it into their
everyday lives. I believe the theory of
one will be of great significance to the people of Canada and, ultimately, to
the people of the world. My plan is to
continue writing essays for as long as possible. At some point I hope to produce pocketbooks
composed of five essays per book for distribution to students.
Dorothy
Sayers (1893-1957), the first woman to graduate from Oxford, said that war is a
judgment which overtakes societies that have been living upon ideas that
conflict too violently with the laws of nature.
The theory of one unites the laws of nature, and sets the table for Canada
to lead the world in uniting the laws of nature with the ideas of society. It is my hope that the government opens
itself to the possibility that my situation is no different than the situation
Galileo (1564-1642) found himself in 370 years ago when supporting the
Copernican view that the Earth revolves around the Sun. It is also my hope that, for the first time
in history, we can all prove GW Hegel (1770-1831) wrong in his claim that
history teaches us we have never learned anything from history.
For
your reference, please find enclosed four essays along with five pieces of
material relating to this request and the theory of one. I believe that I am putting forth a
win-win-win situation for the government, the people and myself to embark on an
exciting adventure of truth and discovery—and invite the government and anyone
else to contact me regarding this matter.
Sincerely,
Christopher
Bek
Quotations
A second Enlightenment is now needed in which man can
live in peace with his own discoveries and creations—enabled by a fuller
comprehension to use them for his enrichment and pleasure. The realization of this second Enlightenment
cannot be fulfilled by ordinary educational means. What we require are books with sufficient
appeal and persuasive power to enlighten the intelligent but scientifically
uninformed multitudes.
—Henry Margenau, Mathematics—Life Science Library
(1963)
Quantum theory does not hold undisputed sway, but must
share dominion with that other rebel sibling—relativity. And although these two bodies together have
led to the most penetrating advances in the search for knowledge—they must
remain enemies. Their fundamental
disagreement will not be resolved until both are subdued by a still more
powerful theory that will sweep away our present painfully won fancies concerning
such things as space, time, matter, radiation and causality. The nature of this theory may only be
surmised—but it will ultimately come down to the very same certainty as to
whether our civilization as a whole survives—no more no less.
—Banesh Hoffmann, The Strange Story of the Quantum (1947)
Einstein always began with the simplest possible
ideas, and then put them into their proper context. But Einstein failed in his attempt to create
a unified field theory because he abandoned this simple conceptual approach and
instead resorted to the safety of obscure mathematics.
—Michio Kaku, Beyond Einstein (1995)
While relativity uncovers the secrets of energy,
gravity and spacetime—the other theory that dominated the twentieth century,
quantum theory, is the theory of matter.
What Einstein didn’t realize, as physicists do now, is that the key to
the unified field theory is found in the marriage of relativity theory and
quantum theory.
—Michio Kaku, Beyond Einstein (1995)
In many ways the destinies of Einstein and Heisenberg
were strangely interwoven, although the theories they created, relativity and
quantum theory, are universes apart.
Both were revolutionary iconoclasts who challenged the established
wisdom of their predecessors.
—Michio Kaku, Beyond Einstein (1995)
The idea that physical quantities do not take on any
practical reality until someone measures them offended Einstein so much to the
point where he asked the physicist Abraham Pais whether he believed the Moon
really exists when no one is looking at it?
—David Lindley, Where Does the Weirdness Go? (1996)
Knowledge le savior.

Profile
Christopher Bek is a mathematician, actuary, philosopher, scientist and
writer—and is a superior spreadsheet, database and riskmodeling craftsman. He has consulted to the top executives of one
of the largest companies in Canada—and has made presentations relating to the
philosophy and science of risk management in Houston and New York. Chris
founded Risk Management Services in 1995 dedicated to helping executives develop
scientific management practices that will allow organizations to properly serve
the shareholders, the stakeholders and society in the community. Socrates (470-399 BC) set the table for Plato
(427-347 BC) by radically insisting that we must first answer the question of
what X is before we can say anything else about X. Plato then founded philosophy by daring to
ask what existence would be like outside the cave. Chris founded Philosophymagazine on 1 January
2001 in support of those who have taken a less traveled road in the struggle
towards daylight.
