A and B are identical twins raised in vastly
different circumstances and this has produced a different
personality for each. We notice A seems more alert and
stronger than B, he manifests a smaller growth deficit.
However, due to the vicissitudes of personality development, in this
case person A happens to appear menacing possibly even a bit
dangerous. Person B on the other hand appears indifferent but
at least not troublesome. Face C, is a computer superposition
of faces A and B. Face C, perhaps an average person, manifests
a potential range of appearance extending in this case all the way
from face A to face B. Now, what I advance is this simple deduction;
that when the public looks at person C, no one sees the same
person. What person they see depends on their own personal
growth curve deficit. For instance, a high growth person
looking at C, will see face B whereas a low growth person will see
A. This simply because there is a significant growth
difference between A and B. As a result, highly developed
beholders consider C to be harmless but poorly developed beholders
consider C to be menacing. And therein I submit, lies the key
to the central historical drama of God. Of course people with high development also
see automobile traffic move more slowly (mental speed), but that is
of small social significance compared to the different face of
humanity they see. This phenomenal, indeed supernatural fact, leads
us to the explanation of the epic miracles of Religion.
According to the Freudian theory of Repression normal brain
growth can be repressed in the individual most commonly as the
result of adverse social circumstances. Then, through some
triggering psychological event this mental block can be broken
allowing pent up brain growth to suddenly come on line causing
a personality change. As is well known to Psychoanalysis,
modern Psychotherapy is predicated upon the existence of exactly
such a mechanism. In more dramatic (miraculous) cases the
entire world can suddenly change. Not only will the traffic
slow down, but notably, person C's appearance can suddenly
switch from person A to person B right in front of the observer's
eyes. If in fact person A was a dangerous adversary, seeing
him transformed from person A to person B could well be a life
saving miracle. In fact, many if not all of the miracles in
the Bible refer to just such an event, only usually involving
hundreds or thousands of people at once, mass miracles as it were.
For instance, the famous "Parting of the Red Sea" is a metaphorical
description of just such a miracle. According to
the Bible, the fleeing Israelites under Moses were subject to
bondage in Egypt for 400 years. They had been growing stronger
for generations but had to repress this in order to avoid
persecution. Finally they were making their escape and in
pursuit were thousands of soldiers all of whom must have looked like
person A. Whirling swords over their heads and galloping
forward in chariots with their menacing visages they must have been
a terrifying spectacle to the Israelites. Suddenly, the
prospect of freedom and escape overwhelmed Israel and this
psychological trigger unleashed a lifetime of pent up brain growth
and a miracle occurred. Looking back at the infantry, suddenly
the face of the enemy changed from A to B. The pursued became
suddenly unafraid of their pursuers. Strengthened and
heartened en
masse by this miracle
they immediately rallied, outflanked the Egyptians and escaped
across the Red Sea (apparently at low tide). Israel was saved
by a miracle. Ever since, this supernatural miracle of God has
been euphemistically reported as the "Parting of the Red Sea",
simply because the actual event has been heretofore too
sophisticated and incredible for Science to explain.
Every epic miracle in the Bible is an example of this.
They are metaphors describing the supernatural ascension of the
perceptual power of the underdog allowing him to miraculously
overpower a seemingly invincible oppressor. In other cases, it
can be a metaphor to the demographic disaster than can overwhelm a
nation under corrupt leadership. A plague of frogs or locusts
is a metaphor to the appearance of hosts of troublesome
psychological types, such as person A, who are oftentimes
characterized as frogs or locusts because of their pugnacious or
destructive behavior. Moses warned the Pharaoh that the
bondage of Israel would incite hordes of terrorists and hooligans in
the Egyptian ranks who would plague Egypt and destroy the
society. Such a thing was certainly seen in Europe under a
dictatorship. On the other hand, there are cases of brain
development's salvatory power on health. Faith healing is a
case of mental block busting unleashing latent brain growth
empowering a person's body directly. Jesus knew this and could
spot people who were suffering from this condition and could by his
commanding presence alone break the mental block and lift
repression, causing miraculous cures of hysterical illness and even
overpowering real organic disease. Clearly people can be
miraculously saved by God. On a larger scale, the majority of
humanity benefits from simple religious services in this
regard. We now turn to something less daunting, and
that is a demonstration of how this theory explains the 4,500 year
chronology of Religion. First we return to Psychometry and
point out that the full map of Psychometry shows a hierarchy
consisting of 30-1st, 13-2nd ,
4-3rd, and 1-4th order factors (Cattell
1973). Each of these orders of
factors may be interpreted as a personality description, and the
higher the order, the more expansive the description. For this
reason we can identify the various demigods and gods in the history
of Religion with these factors or personality types, for
instance:
30-1st order factors = 30 demigods of the
Hindu and ancient religions 13-2nd order
factors = 13 Olympian gods of the Greco-Roman
Pantheon 4-3rd order factors
= 4 Gospel Saints of Christianity: Matthew,
Mark, Luke, John 1-4th order factor
= The God of Monotheism: God, Allah,
Yahweh, Brahma, Buddha, etc.
We
see the entire history of Religion explained as the discovery of
successively higher orders in the factor hierarchy. With the
advent of Christianity and the Cross, even the Cartesian
Structure itself was discovered since the Cross is simply the
Cartesian coordinate system(7). Ancient polytheism only succeeded in discovering the
1st and 2nd orders. Akhnaten and Moses
finally discovered the single 4th order factor, the God
of monotheism. Interestingly, while Islam and Judaism
redact all but the single 4th order factor, Christianity
retains the 4-3rd orders as the 4-Gospel Canon.
Hinduism on the other hand, developing independently of Western
Religion, retains to this day all 4-orders of factors.
Totaling the list accounts for 48 gods and demigods. Of
course, since Hinduism recognizes a supreme deity in the Trinity of
Vishnu, Krishna, and
Brahma, this becomes
the 4th order factor and Hinduism is monotheistic despite
it's many "gods"(8). ________________________________________ (7) The ancient Egyptian
Ankh apparently prefigures this discovery
by 2,000 years. (8)
According to my research, the Trinity refers not to the
Structural Model but the dynamical model, namely the trinary
feedback loop of "input, output and feedback", being the "Father,
Son and Holy Ghost". It is my conclusion that while the
Structural Model explains the Bicameral/2-Party System, the Trinity
explains the 3-Branches of Government.
Another example of
the comprehensive explanatory power of this discovery involves
"Creation". Reality is controlled by the human brain, since brain
growth changes reality. The modern human brain is only about
40,000 years old which is when Homo Sapiens sapiens first
appeared. This means that reality "as we know it" did not
exist prior to 40,000 years ago. Certainly in the scientific
sense of this theory, it is correct to say that the entire world,
billion year old fossils and all, was "created" approximately
40,000 years ago. This then, is the Creation described in
Genesis. While Evolution is certainly correct, so is
Creationism, or the Biblical account of Creation. Adam and Eve
were simply the first two Homo Sapien sapiens. Genesis
is not a myth or a legend, it is a historical record of the birth of
reality, or the World, as Man witnessed it 40,000 years ago.
Archbishop Ussher put it at 6,000 years ago, but certainly 40,000
years is near agreement on a scale of 15 billion years which is the
accepted Evolutionary age of the Universe. Another
point often cited by philosophers, is the objection as to how
Science can prove God if God created Science? Classical
Physics holds that there is an absolute reality and that Man
produces a 1:1 map or picture of this using his sensory apparatus
and brain. We have now discovered that this map is not 1:1 but
because of the Secular Trend is perhaps for instance .85:1. Since
Man naturally presumes a 1:1 relationship; it is the variability of
this ratio which explains "supernatural" occurrences in
reality thus explaining the time honored historical description of
God. Having now proven this to two decimal point accuracy, we may
answer the pedant by simply asserting that God has provided us with a scientific proof of his
existence. Science and Religion are reconciled by
this discovery. Mass, length and time are defined by human
intuition. Physics can only discover the Laws of mass, length and time.
Science can say that gravity causes God because it modulates human
perception, and yet Theology is correct in saying that God
ultimately being this perception itself, creates reality including
gravity, the world and everything in it. According to this
theory both viewpoints are correct. Finally there
is the matter of Eternal Life. This discovery indicates that
there is such a thing as Eternal Life. Clearly, the state of
zero growth deficit corresponds to a state of eternal life. We
see that "eternal time" refers to undilated time, not infinite
time. Living "forever" means living in undilated time or
real
time, not living for
billions of years. When the brain growth deficit goes to zero
at "kingdom come" sometime in the future, the 4th order
factor goes to zero and psychometric space becomes "flat".
Physics would say the brain has become fully grown. Psychology
would say the Unconscious Mind has become conscious, and Theology
would say that God has descended from Heaven to Earth. Fully
grown Man is the "incarnation of God". Christian tradition
therefore has it correctly (nominally) that Jesus was the bodily
incarnation of God for instance. When the 4th order
factor goes to zero there is no gravitational time dilation and Man
is in real time, or true reality. Undilated time has the
subjective property of being "eternal", because fully grown
Man is physically perfect and sees a perfect world (sees actual
reality). This is because the only thing fundamentally
imperfect about Life to begin with, is in fact the existence of the
human growth curve deficit. None of us will live to
see Kingdom Come which is the end of the Secular Trend. This
has raised the speculation that there may be Life After Death.
This conjecture holds that there is a phenomena of death in which
the Unconscious Mind becomes conscious and eternal life is realized
in a spiritual world. It is said that we "go to Heaven".
Interestingly, the present theory makes the conjecture more rational
since death could involve a relativistic time dilation expanding the
last moment of life into years. Life after death then would
actually be life before death, which only
relativistically
appears to extend
beyond death. However, this discovery contains no new
information about death. Moreover, it depends on Brain
Science and Gravity and the complete theory of neither is known. So
Life After Death remains a mystery, despite the fact that we have
explained what Eternal Life is and have even deduced that Man will
achieve eternal life on Earth someday. One thing is
certain however, the discovery that God=Guv is now the
point of departure for future research. The most
"supernatural" thing known about Guv is that it contains
a singularity which produces a Black Hole with an infinite time
dilation and an Event Horizon. If Guv causes a
psychometric factor as we have just discovered, then there could be
an Event Horizon or even a Black Hole in perceptual reality. According to this the event horizon
is the borderline between the grown and ungrown brain, separating
Heaven and Earth as it were. Thus we are actually looking at
this event horizon every day. Future efforts,
building on the discovery reported here will take us into modern
gravity research. The division of the brain into grown and
ungrown parts divides information about the perceptual world into
invisible and visible portions (Heaven and Earth). Jacob
Bekenstein and Stephen Hawking have discovered that this division of
information, or entropy, is characteristic of an event horizon and
obeys the Second Law of Thermodynamics (see Smolin 2001). Apparently
we might speak of the entropy of Heaven and Earth as obeying the
second law of thermodynamics. If there is such a thing as life after
death then this phenomenology must be linked to it; perhaps one can
(spiritually) cross this event horizon into another world.
According to the second law, what we would see there is the
information missing from our perceptual world. Of particular
interest is the question of whether the second law might yield an
existence
theorem for life
after death? Unfortunately, given the state of knowledge in
this area presently one cannot even hazard a credible guess as
to the scientific likelihood of such a thing. Science simply
does not know. Summing up, it appears that future
research should proceed on the assumption that all of the phenomena
of classical Relativity may be present in perceptual reality, a
Divine Action Principle corresponding to the Einstein-Hilbert Action
Principle, an Event Horizon, even the possibility of a perceptual
Black Hole caused by quantum gravity. Hopefully, we may one
day fully complete George Gamow's prophetic inspiration concerning
the existence of a "relativistic world".
VII The scientific proof of God has been
discovered.
The aim of this paper is to disseminate an
important interdisciplinary discovery to as large a range of
scientists as possible. Few scientists are expert in both
Psychology and Physics. Experts in both fields will notice
extensive simplifications of complex points in the interest of
heuristic clarity. It is only hoped that this paper is
sufficiently detailed for experts and at the same time clear enough
for nonexperts so as to be able to convince both that a scientific
explanation of God has actually been discovered.
This theory is not a speculation, it is a discovery. My 1994
paper clearly documents the path by which it was discovered.
Allowing even that, the reader should pause to consider that the
discovery of Curvature in real space already ranks as the most
famous discovery in the history of Science. In view of
Einstein's success, rejecting the proposition that God is a
curvature of psychometry space without carefully weighing the
evidence is presumptuous at best. There is certainly nothing
in this thesis which is speculative, and in fact by modern
scientific standards it is an elementary theory. Of course history
teaches us that elementary theories are often the most
sophisticated, with apparently the theory of God being superlative.
Finally, the field of Psychometry is a century old and therefore the
experimental basis of this theory is well established. The
unification of the two great realms of Psychology, Intelligence and
Personality, into a single psychometry metric is a remarkable result
which is sure to stimulate much new research [4]. The discovery of
the (3D-cubic) Structural Model of Personality is a prize currently
sought by hundreds of scientists all of whom are apparently unaware
of my 1994 paper. The experimental support of Penrose's brain
gravity not only forecasts success in the search for a quantum
gravity Noumenon, but also represents direct experimental support
for the Hameroff-Penrose model of consciousness. Finally, an
actual scientific proof of God has been detected. Surely it is
time that the scientific community took note of these
developments. In conclusion, I would only say
something about the significance of this discovery. The
proposition that Psychology is Relativistic, if true, immediately
elevates not only Psychology but even Theology to the status of hard
axiomatic sciences. Beyond that; from Aristotle, Descartes and
Newton down to the present day no one has ever questioned the
significance of a scientific proof of God. Such a result would
de
facto effect an
ecumenical unification of World Religion. Current events
underscore the strain on civilization caused by the conflict of
world religions. One should mention the impact of
this discovery on mental health. In my opinion a sense of the
existence of a "higher power" is the mainstay of sanity. Young
people, especially children are in strong possession of this since
God = Guv » ¥ at birth [3],
but with growth and the stress of life this sense can become
eroded. This is the symptomatic description of chronic mental
disturbance. Normal perception according to this theory,
includes a sense that there is an unknowable and supreme
power. This provides not only optimism and hope but the
physical
perception of an
unbounded future, even to the very old. A proof of God
will therefore eventually improve the world's mental
health. Lastly, never before in history has Man
known for sure that there is a God. If a scientific proof has
actually been found, we have every reason to expect an immanent and
miraculous advance in Civilization.
Notes:
[1]
ENPg are identified as the equivalents of XYZt.
Actually this is a gloss avoiding details, but is essentially
correct. The 4 metrical variables of Psychometry are nominally
3rd order factors while ENPg are actually 2nd
order factors. Unknown to Cattell in 1975 however, the
2nd orders are cubically intercorrelated. The
mathematical effect then of 3rd order factorization is
simply to collapse the 10 oblique cubic factors onto the 3 normals,
ENP. Theoretically, there really are no new 3rd
order factors. The 4-3rd orders Qa, Qb,
Qd, Qe2 are
actually congruent broadened versions of the same 4-Principal Axes of 2nd order space.
Cattell's data confirms this congruence (Cattell 1975, Table 5,
p.145; where Cattell's 1ºQI=E,
2ºQII=N and 4ºQIV=P. See
footnote 2). Note that the matrix in Table 5 is nearly
diagonal in the upper left hand corner indicating that the largest
2nd order factors ENP are aligned with the largest
3rd order factors abd.
Similarly, Cattell finds Intelligence QVII, to be aligned with the
4th-3rd order factor Qe2 , ibid. Table
6 column 2. This experimental result confirms the theoretical
prediction that such must be the case. On this view then, God is
actually a 3rd order factor and there are no
4th order factors. There is a further
complication associated with the 4th dimension, g.
Cattell actually found 5 identifiable factors at the 3rd
order, not 4. The 5th factor Qg is
aligned with Cattell's Corteria 3ºQIII,
ibid. Table 5, which I take to be a motor
expressed "superior growth" speed (rapid reaction time,
ideomotor speed, endurance, Cattell 1973, p.186), whereas, g or IQ
is traditionally a sensory expressed "superior genetic" speed
(theoretical/analytical decision speed). I assume then a total
mental speed factor TMS, to lie near 45-degrees between
Qe2 and Qg. We note
that TMS always loads positively on brain growth, while E,N and P
may load either + or - during different social eras. Hence
finally, there are only 4 factors at the 3rd order, not
5, and they are essentially ENP and (total) mental speed from the
2nd order. Also to be mentioned is that
mental speed; both g and Corteria (in fact all psychometric
factors), contain both Nature and
Nurture
(genetic and growth) variance. Presumably the genetic variances do
not correlate (are random) while of course the growth variances will
all correlate with a "total growth" factor. Hence the higher
order factor is a pure "growth factor", in this case the total
overall brain growth deficit. Perhaps this is an appropriate
place to mention that God therefore is apparently not genetic. In
the first approximation at least, God is caused exclusively by
Nurture and not Nature.
[2] The formula G=T does not
tell us the distribution of T as a function of ENPg. This must
be given independently, just as the distribution of r in
spacetime is. In Psychometry space this distribution is known
since we know that Intelligence (psychometric-g) increases linearly
with brain growth BG and hence decreases linearly with the brain
growth deficit GD (note BGº1-GD).
Since Guv=Tuv=r=GD/1-GD » GD (see note 3
below), this tells us that there is a linear gradient of curvature
in psychometry space. Incidentally, since the Secular Trend
says that GD is historically approaching zero, this means that
psychological space will eventually become flat. This event is known
in popular Psychology, as well as canonical Theology, as the "end of
the World" and marks the successful end of Man's historic struggle
to construct a perfect world (also referred to as "kingdom
come"). Also of interest is the
potential F as a function of ENPg. In
Factor Space the potential is linear in ENPg (since
hii=F). Since the generalized
"gravitational force" in Relativity is G which is
proportional to the negative gradient of F (the
metric), we see that there is a constant "gravitational force"
pointing in a specific direction in psychometry space.
Presumably this represents psychological force perhaps public
opinion or "social pressure" (e.g. the social force of God) and
always tends towards increasing growth since (total) mental speed
always loads positively on brain growth. Apparently this
force, whose direction is reversible (in ENP space), serves to
maintain the balance of the BI/2P System, as well as to move the
population towards decreasing curvature, i.e. in the direction of
increasing growth. Thus there is a "Divine Action Principle"
which tends always to minimize the curvature similar to the well
known Action Principle of General
Relativity.
[3]
Analysts may wonder how mass density r which runs from
0 ® ¥ can correspond
to the brain growth deficit GD which runs from 0 ® 1.
The reason is trivial. We know that mental speed MS (i.e.
intelligence) is proportional to braingrowth BG as evidenced by the
linear increase in intelligence for the first 18 years of life. Thus
MS=BGº1-GD. However time T is the
reciprocal of speed, thus T=1/BG=1/(1-GD) and the time
dilation defined as T-1 is T-1=GD/(1-GD) . The time dilation
thus runs from 0 ® ¥ as the growth
deficit GD runs from 0 ® 1. From Linearized Relativity
we know that T-1 is the gravitational potential (Eqn. 7) which
increases as the average mass density increases; in fact the time
dilation becomes infinite when the mass density becomes
infinite. Thus mass density r must also
correspond asymptotically to the form r=GD/(1-GD).
Of course for small GD this is simply r »GD
which prevails in Psychometry where GD is at least an order of
magnitude less than 1. Incidentally, while linear
analysis yields a reciprocal law, there is reason to believe that
Fechner's Law (logarithmic law) probably applies so that
r=-ln(BG) =-ln(1-GD) which of course would be experimentally
(psychometrically) indistinguishable from a simple reciprocal
result.
[4]
Relativists may notice that the signature of the metric has not been
mentioned. Psychometry only measures the individual elements
of the metric, it has not (as yet) measured the signature.
While the Psychometry metric has long been presumed to be Euclidean
in personality space (as it is in real space), the interaction of
Intelligence and Personality is unknown. According to my
result the Psychometry metric is actually Lorentzian in 4
dimensional space. Intelligence subtracts from Personality in
the same way that time subtracts from space in Relativity. So
far there is only qualitative evidence for this, such as the
historical preeminence of the Bicameral/2-Party System which is
believed to lie near the N-g plane in ENPg space. (see Hammond
1994) Distance in this plane would obey the (Lorentzian)
4-lobed Lemniscate of Bernoulli, well known to Relativity, and would
thus explain the high definition and robust stability of the BI/2P
System (i.e. "personality clash" in this plane is not isotropic but
is in fact quadrupole). Confirming the Lorentzian signature of
the Psychometry metric now has a high priority in future psychology
research. This will involve the psychometric measurement of
Personality Clash so called (psychometric proper distance).
Coincident Roll Call voting statistics for the BI/2P legislature
(U.S. Congress) would be a good starting point, they are available
on magnetic tape. A Lorentzian metric should cause a distinct
quadrupole silhouette in these graphs. In the meantime there
is no evidence contrary to this Lorentzian
prediction.
