Dear Prof. Van *********** and Dr. ******,

  I'm still suffering from hypoxia in slowly recovering from a heart attack, but was able to get the paper reviewed by an independent and capable scientist. I personally am on a much reduced schedule of activity, by necessity.  Also,  I am more of a conceptualist and inventor than a theorist, and a more competent reviewer was appropriate.

  Below is the reviewer's review. He found there were some questionable conclusions and areas, which at least would require clarification or further theoretical work.  He would encourage you to re-examine the work, change it as necessary to insure its consistency with no non sequiturs, then consider submitting it to a suitable journal for formal publication.

  I wish to encourage you to continue by all means.  As you are well aware, higher algebras such as you are using, are indeed capable of opening many more functions and capabilities in electrodynamics -- including on the laboratory bench and in operational equipment --  than are in the present more limited Maxwell-Heaviside-Lorentz electrodynamics, used in electrical engineering.  Higher group symmetry electrodynamics is already beginning to bear fruit, and it appears that it will have substantial contributions to advancing many facets of science in the future.  Frankly, the only thing slowing the progress is the reluctance of the major part of the scientific community to change from the familiar U(1) electrodynamics model and fund the changes to the more than a century old MHL theory.  There are of course other algebras for EM used in particle physics already. 

  Sadly, some nations seem to already have weaponized higher symmetry electrodynamics, and we may see these weapons actually being used in the long, tough war that the United States has now entered after being so cowardly attacked.  In 1997, our own defense secretary Cohen, at the time, made this statement:

  "Others [terrorists] are engaging even in an eco-type of terrorism whereby they can alter the climate, set off earthquakes, volcanoes remotely through the use of electromagnetic waves… So there are plenty of ingenious minds out there that are at work finding ways in which they can wreak terror upon other nations…It's real, and that's the reason why we have to intensify our [counterterrorism] efforts."  

[Secretary of Defense William Cohen at an April 1997 counterterrorism conference sponsored by former Senator Sam Nunn.  Quoted from DoD News Briefing, Secretary of Defense William S. Cohen, Q&A at the Conference on Terrorism, Weapons of Mass Destruction, and U.S. Strategy, University of Georgia, Athens, Apr. 28, 1997].

I assure you the Secretary knew what he was talking about.  I have personally published photographs of the actual testing of some of these weapons over the United States, by hostile foreign nations.  Many such test incidents have occurred over Europe as well.  There has been no normal weather over North America since July 4, 1976 -- courtesy of a bicentennial present to us by the former Soviet Union. The international terrorism now confronting us is not just by a group of fanatical "guerrillas".  There is a far more insidious backing by several nations.  The world may have just entered WW III and not yet have fully recognized it.

With the O(3) electrodynamics being advanced by the AIAS, e.g., mathematical simulation for the extensive numerical "crunching" is now absolutely essential, and the AIAS is struggling now to get started down that road, in both O(3) and the Sachs unified field theory (which is partially fitted).

The AIAS work has also strongly surfaced the flow of EM energy along the time axis, as has my proposed more conceptual solution to the problem of the source charge (i.e., the problem of the association of the fields and potentials and their energy, associated with a "source charge" which continuously pours out EM energy in 3-space with no 3-space input).  The solution is strongly supported by Mandl and Sachs, Quantum Field Theory, 1984, Chap. 5 and fits Whittaker's 1903 decomposition of the scalar potential if his fundamental "phase conjugate longitudinal EM wavepair" is more correctly reinterpreted.

I attach a listing of some of the O(3) published reports by AIAS, which may be of interest to you and perhaps relevant to what you are doing.  Also one should call attention to the important work of Barrett, Sachs,  and others, that is relevant to this effort as well, and so I have referenced some of those publications also.

Again, please let me encourage you most heartily to continue.  It is a pleasure to see this effort being made.  I deeply wish you every success in your efforts.

Sincerely,

Tom Bearden, Ph.D.

Thomas Publishers, 1973.  A lucid, non-mathematical account of the role of the continuous field concept in three major areas of twentieth century science: the theory of electromagnetism, the theory of relativity, and the contemporary theory that underlies phenomena in the microscopic domain of atoms, molecules, and elementary particles -- the quantum theory.  Electromagnetic theory has been interpreted in terms of a continuous field of potential force that electrically charged matter could exert on other charged matter, should the test matter be placed at any of a continuum of spatial points.  The formal expression of the theory of relativity has been interpreted in terms of a continuous field geometry—the continuous set of relations between the points of spacetime, as determined by the matter distribution of a physically closed system.  The variables of the quantum theory have been interpreted in terms of a field of probability—the continuous distribution of a sequence of chances that a macroscopic apparatus will determine that the microscopic object will have one set of physical properties or another.  Each of these field theories is analyzed from the point of view of its philosophical content, and the contrasting views in terms of the atomistic theories are presented.  Discussion is given to the logically dichotomous and compatible aspects of these theories as well as indications of possible paths toward their unification into a general field theory of matter.
