Want to know how the universe works? Meet Nassim Haramein. He’s found out!

You see, you create your own reality, but reality also creates you, via a vacuum that, unlike other vacuums, is “crystalline”. Well done to Echan Deravy and his flagging Earth Pilgrims project for uncovering this genius.

    that’s what you call gibberish

  2. I can’t even begin to understand…

    If you were ever unfortunate enough to become involved in a discussion with this guy, where exactly would you start?

    Sounds like some weapons grade “Wishful thinking= results” BS

  4. From nutjob’s website, linked in my name.
    “The Resonance Project Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to the unification of all sciences and philosophies emerging from a complete and applied view of the physics underlying the wheelworks of nature.”

    Hoooo boy, we hit gold.

    “Director of Research Nassim Haramein and scientists at the Resonance Project Foundation have found a new solution to Einstein’s field equations which incorporates torque and Coriolis effects. Furthermore, calculations were rendered to describe the collective and coherent behavior of the plasma dynamics of ergospheres orbiting the event horizons of black holes demanding a highly structured polarized vacuum, resulting in an alternative view of black holes where the exterior white hole portion surrounds the interior black hole singularity.”

    Nothing in a Brief History of Time made my head hurt as much as that.

  5. Anyone who thinks reality is subjective has never walked into a patio door they were certain was open.

    Where would you start? If you were unfortunate enough to become involved in a discussion with this guy, the only thing that would be going through your mind is “where did this start and how the feck do I finish it??”

  7. And I thought vacuums were just for cleaning the house! I never knew they ruled the universe.

    Physics update on the universe;

    Vacuum (nothingness) actually means Universe (everythingness).

    Hurrah for self contradiction. This is logic’s retarded twin brother. We only let him out on sundays.

    Is this person high?

    Daryl, his synchronicity has just gone through the roof.

  11. He just sounds like some guy at a Dead Show who is trying to explain why he’s licking the light bulbs in, what he perceives to be, a rational way.

    The real rational answer would be that he’s on acid. But he thinks that’s only “opening up his mind, man”….

  12. PavlovsDog said

    Daryl, lol… I asked myself that very same question. But at least now we know that it ALL started inside a large Dyson and then, ‘hey man’….the whole thing went through the roof.

    It makes sense in it’s own way.

  13. McMicah said

    Sounds like BS to me.

    If an honest individual sends TRUE information into the vacuum to benetit everyone, but a dishonest corporation spreads conflicting FALSE information via mainstream media to profit itself, the result is likely to be confusion, with false information having the upper hand. An apt analogy might be; A baby submerged in dirty bathwater. Kind of like this website.

    Some other posterior gems from Haramein:
    “Wow, the universe is just a bunch of dots!”
    “Reality is an illusion” (appropriated from Buddha, of course)

  14. Peter said

    “Yeah again, in the context of my theory synchronicity starts to make sense…”

    So in other words, in the context of his theory, his theory makes sense… to him… for me on the other hand it is still a bit of a mystery.

    So well done to Mr Haramein, he’s created an entirely unnecessary counterpart to the theory of the interplay of cause and effect, except that this one is for Solipsists.

  15. PavlovsDog said

    McM. Good post. I like it. One wonders what the real agenda is. Or to put it in my own language who is ringing the bell? Might I also ask if Mr Haramein is on acid at all?

  16. Paul said

    Why is there no substance to the comments? You all accuse Haramein of lack of substance, but your attacks are vapor.

    One question - and only one - should dominate:

    “Nassim, have your relativity-equation solutions been reviewed by the physics community?”

    Surely peer-review is the only relevant question to ask?

  17. ionized said

    Wow. 16 responses and only one voice of reason. I thought this was meant to be a truth forum?

    I agree Paul, if he is what he claims to be, ie: a physicist, then his equations should be able to stand up to peer review. From what little I have read of Nassim and the Resonance Project it seems to be a legitimate effort to look at zero point and field equations from a different angle.

    Assuming that this guy is a quack due to the subject matter of his talk is beside the point.

  18. shanti said

    WOW…whilst this guy may or may not be a ‘nutjob’ posts bar two seem to be a lot worse…talk about lunatics taking over the page, no one got anything intelligent to add?
    very dissapointed with this site

  19. BudWheizzah said

    If Einstein had come out and said, along with his theories, “I also like to hook up two escorts and fondle their boobs with my head. It makes me feel like I’m on the seventh planet of the divine”… would we have been reluctant to accept his theories? Eh, maybe.

    Ok, this guy’s not Einstein but if you look up his stuff, some of it’s actually science, believe it or not. The problem here is that it’s often mixed up and intertwined with spiritual references that are, well, hard to incorporate in science.

    Crazy? Yes. (Geniuses are usually crazy, anyway) Quack? Maybe, but not entirely. There’s a lot of good sense in his gravity field theories which caught my interest and could unlock a lot of things we can barely come close to explain… spin, for example.

    You can listen to the guy’s ramblings but the science is hard to filter out sometimes when he goes too deep unto difficult to accept spiritual concepts.

    Where can i get one of those vacuums?

  22. Colin said

    @quickredfox just go with a Dyson man! might be more expensive than the dvd set but at least you’ll get something out of it :P

  23. Jon Cee said

    He has a four CD set of explanation of his theory called “Crossing The Event Horizon.” His explanation of the nature of All makes as much sense and the other physicists explanations using terms like strong force, week force, gluons, dark matter etc. JEEZZ ! Much more sense in fact. He actually seems to make physics and quantum physics seem compatible.

    A definite rush to judgment going on in this forum.

    A very worthwhile thing to consider I perceive. Maybe it can be found at libraries.

  24. Tim said

    What about all those times people need lifeboats or mine rescuers or firemen to turn up, and they don’t? I suppose these people can’t refute Mr Haramein, because they’re dead…

  25. Alfred said

    http://theresonanceproject.org/research.html

    he wrote a paper called “The Schwarzschild Proton”. It won Best paper award at the “9th International Conference CASYS’09 (Computing Anticipatory Systems)” and above is a link which gives further information.

    You can cross check the references, you can cross check all 13 panelists, you can cross check everything he says regarding this paper.

    or you could read the paper, follow the math, and take some time to try and understand what he’s saying. its not that complicated (its does require patience and a decent understanding of math)

    Until you have made the effort to follow up on the TECHNICAL and SCIENTIFIC papers he has written, a number of them with E.A. Rauscher (theres a name to look up) your opinions of him are as meaningless.

    One must know what they’re talking about before they talk about it.

    I’m not saying what Nassim is saying is wholesale right, but i have made the effort to look into it, and he offers alot more information on why HE is right and why all of you who insult him on this “truth” forum are some combination of ignorant and lazy.

    Many of the present assumptions in the field of theoretical physics have been proven wrong time and time again by actual observed cosmological events i.e shoemaker levy, comet impactors,black hole radio jets etc. The theoretical physicists however seem to refuse to believe the evidence presented before their very eyes and continue to attempt to bash that square peg into the proverbial round hole with patently contradictory explanations that i’m sure don’t make sense even to them. They seem to have forgotten that scientific knowledge is always a work in progress and are becoming entrenched in their views. The gravitational universe theory is taking knocks from all angles but many of the theorists continue to expound their dogmas. For anyone interested check out the long suppressed “Electrical universe” theories out there. Does a much better job of explaining and more importantly accurately predicting cosmological phenomena
    Peace

    How does one check out EA Rauscher? I could find no reference to her on the net or as a person connected to Berkeley.

    I find NH’s take on physics fascinating. His grasp of history is less convincing as he confuses things and makes sensationalist claims.

    What makes me a bit sceptical is that his organisation might be non-profit making but it is keen on raising money. It would be more credible if it were profit-making and actually capable of applying his leading-edge physics in a commercial kind of way. The market place is even more effective in testing the truth than peer review.

    We all want to know how the Egyptians et al moved the giant blocks and why can’t their manipulation of energy be replicated now? Now, as we face the challenges of climate change/ fossil fuel issues/ polluiton etc, we need physicists to work out what the ancients knew - and stop wasting time on Big Bang and string theory.

    There is certainly no evidence of a four thousand year old Large Hadron Collider anywhere on the Nile - so how did they do it? And why can’t NH tell us?

    This site should be called Counterproductive, no matter how ludricrous this man’s claims - the person who posted this possibly out of context has provided no useful COUNTERKNOWLEDE with this clip. So are we assuming the site agrees with this persons theories? Most of the small minded responses here show evolved the people are who use this site. If it were the middleages you would be burning him at the stake…. apologies to the few that have actually made an effort to check this guy out, I’m of to do the same, not that I believe him but I will attempt to make an educated decision using critical thinking, not something that is popular on this site…

    There is no doubt that winning an award at the 9th International Conference on Computing Anticipatory Systems CASYS’09 (organised by the sweetly named Belgian university of Liege mathematics institute CHAOS : Centre for Hyperincursion and Anticipation in Ordered Systems) gives Mr Haramein a lot of credibility.

    I sat through all 45 youtube videos of his presentation from 2008 and the physics made a lot of sense to me. It pays to be more open-minded. After all, Einstein, the universally recognised genius of the C20th, did not like quantum physics.
    Even Richard Dawkins, the ulitmate in rational, finds quantum physics “mysterious”. What is rational about the principle of ‘non-locality’?

    I still have a concern that NH’s comments on non-physics subjects which lack the accuracy that he applies to physics would lead gullible people down the wrong path. More pseudo history than pseudo science… but still pseudo

  30. Ignorance is only skin deep, but stupidity goes to the bone. I am very famliar with Mr. Haramein’s good work. Anyone who would cast stones at this man and other brilliant, dedicated minds like his is probably just too lazy or stupid to matter anyway..so I say..eat this bitches!

    E.A rausher is mentioned. true, she is hard to find on the internet. dont forget tho, that the internet doesnt have everybody on it. you cant find this publication on google, but if you have access to a college univistity database, with programs like pubmed and what not, you may be able to find it there.

    It is easy to be critical and a skeptic. It takes time to listen and understand. Take the time to listen to his lectures on the geometric structure of the vacuum and just maybe it’s not so crazy. I’m thinking this man may very well have found some real answers.

  34. Adventureman said

    His theory could very well bridge hard science into noetic science. What I would question is how or what presented itself to him to postulate that vacuum has structure, let alone a crystaline one. Is the shape more of a fractal nature or more rigid like the physical ones we can tangibly hold?

  35. I just reviewed his Schwarzschild Proton paper and couldn’t find anything wrong in there. Everything he states is correct. All his calculations are correct. Units are correct. The best part in this whole paper is that it’s basically so simple that he only needs to reference one text book in his references. The main reason I believe his theories is that I have my own theory of the universe and it basically comes to the same conclusions as Nassim, that black holes exist at different scales including the quantum scale and beyond. Also, space-time has fractal nature (crystalline fractal nature). He calls it the fractoholographic universe which is the perfect name for this phenomenonl. FractalWoman

    Regarding comments about H’s lack of credibility in history: In the video he points out that “no one who says the ‘Egyptians didn’t build the pyramids’ will ever get a Ph.D. in history… and yet we have absolutely no proof that they did…. no hieroglyphs talking about it, no corroboration, and no way for us to do it with current technology.” That is a good argument, and I wonder, which “history” lacks credibility?

  37. DrBerninski said

    People pay to see 13 hour talks with this joker. He sells himself as having all kinds of new insights into physics, but he’s a liar and a fraud. It’s sickening, and sad to see the gullibility of people who are taken in by it. The truth is so much richer than the garbage people like this make up.

    (FractalWoman: Look again at his “Schwarzchild Proton” paper - it’s completely circular, as well as nonsensical. He uses the gravitation equation to suggest that a proton weighs a billion tons because that’s what it would have to weigh for it to be a strongly gravitationally bound object, and then uses the same equations to conclude that nuclei are held together by gravity, because really they weigh a billion tons each. And that’s his derivation of the strong nuclear force.)
    (If that’s not what you read in his paper, I’d be interested to know what you think he was saying.)

    for anyone to fully watch n.h.’s speach, and try to think of a cute little saying that all of the other inbred rednecks can relate with is the exact ignorance that led the world away from nature, and natures way of being…. fuck ignorance, kill politically

    I just love a good incoherent run on sentence that complains about someone else’s ignorance. Nothing elucidates a person’s intelligence level like an inept attempt to brag about how smart they are.

    A comprehensive debunking of this guy (and fractalwoman) can be found here: http://www.sciencefile.org/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1251881447/0

    The award that is touted about him was some ‘best of conference’ award given in a conference requiring no peer review and in no way affiliated with the university (other than hire of the room).

    Unfortunately he’s a hippy crank.

    Well…I lasted through 20 minutes of his 4 hr youtube while surfing for additional info on this guy. No real peer reviews, and Wiki punted his entry. Hmmm.

    I have problems with infinities and singularities. Nassim doesn’t.

    I recently inhaled a couple of well written books. If you want get a solid understanding of what the real brains are focusing on today then try:
    In Search of the Multiverse, John Gribbin. ISBN 978-1-846-14113-3
    Quantum Enigma, Bruce Rosenblum & Fred Kuttner. ISBN 978-0-19-534250-5
    The last book is a bit controversial as it is linking consciousness with quantum physics. Read it anyways as they do an excellent job of describing the world around us using real science. WIth both books you will also find answers that mostly eliminate the need for singularities and infinities.

    BTW Thanks for the debunk link zeroone

    One small comment regarding dimensions, that I have always found to be a though provoking analogy.

    Clearly we exist in 4D as 3D objects, but lets step back a bit and look at dimensions; but not as Nassim describes in his school lesson (this was his first mistake though useful for the manipulation of his audience) Anyways… The shadow of a 3D object is clearly 2D. No depth but not imaginary or non-existent. So the shadow of this 2D object would be 1D or a line (no matter how close you get it never gets thicker. A 1D object’s shadow would be a point, or singularity, or 0D. OK so that is the framework. So then 3D is the shadow of an object moving through spacetime (4D). You see where this is going?

    Anyhoo, that’s my 2 qubits. (or 4 bits if you prefer :)

  42. You gotta kidding me. You want rational criticism of this person?

    He’s talking about a SENTIENT VACCUUM. Prima facie nonsense that means duck squat. It’s just a bunch of catch phrases arranged in a manner meant to sound “deep.”

    This person absolutely deserves to be flamed, because everything he says doesn’t make any sense, it’s just a bunch of buzz words put together into a patois.
