Today in Paris the scientists try to define climate-warming as being the result of
dangerous human activities. (Whom do they try to fool?)
The truth is, global-warming is caused by increased solar activity. However, human pollution caused by burning
hydrocarbons is far more dangerous for our health, and for our atmosphere, than climate-warming is. Our sun has
melted all glaciers on our planet few times before, and it is more than likely he is going to do it again, many
times--there is absolutely nothing we can do to prevent that.
What we can do is, we can protect the quality of our environment, and we could limit industrial pollution to
minimum necessary. Human activities need to integrate flawlessly into the regeneration cycle of the oxygen in
nature, not to just burn it. In addition, since there are environmentally friendly alternatives to the dirty
oil-based industry, we need to act right now to change that polluting factor. Our dear internal combustion engines
release ONLY PURE POISON (each day, each minute, and each second) by the millions of tons into the atmosphere we
breathe. THAT is the real, terrible danger!
Now, not only that they poison us continuously, but they also make us pay dearly for that! (And we are
sufficiently stupid to do it!)

 People are fascinated with details.
Sure, details are important, but it is far more important to see Global Picture. Let's take these words: "You
cannot see the forest because of the trees." They are world-famous, and they always generate hilarious
good disposition. We am certain the people who use those words, trying to suggest that something is obvious, have
an under-average level of intelligence. Fact is, those words create a 3D picture: first, there is a curtain of
trees; second, there is a large empty space, a field for example; thirdly, we have the wonderful Fontainebleau
forest to which the words refer. There is nothing to laugh at, and if people do not see that 3D picture, then
their level of imagination is really low. Each time we hear people using those words we feel very, very
disappointed.
Some may object saying: "Wait a minute, you don't get it. The trees ARE the forest!" No, dear
friends, a bunch of trees is only a minuscule, irrelevant part of the forest. Think that a reasonable forest may
cover many hills, on an immense area, and it could have lakes, rivers, and many others. Let's put it this way: if
you know few philosophical notions--trees, or details--it doesn't mean you are a philosopher--forest or the Global
Picture. In order to be a philosopher you need to be a physicist, and a mathematician, and a biologist, and a
psychologist, and a social-psychologist, and a historian AS A MINIMUM!
These words "You cannot see the forest because of the trees" represent an exceptional, sad,
philosophical truth, meaning: "We cannot see Global Picture because of the details."
Well, let's analyze a practical example. Since animated cartoons were invented, one of the most used scenario was
a rabbit competing against a turtle in a race--it comes out the turtle wins that race. That is, in fact, an
ancient story, presented for the first time during Hellenic civilization (2500 years ago). During those glorious
times the competitors were Achilles and a turtle (or something). People were way more intelligent in those ancient
times, therefore the comic picture was presented to the Lyceum students. However, the comic description was
accompanied by very interesting explanations. The philosophical concept behind the funny race was the question: "Is
time continuous or discrete in nature?"
Wow! Those Latin scientists/philosophers considered that TIME COULD BE DISCRETE IN NATURE! Is that possible? Our
modern science is built on the assumption that all natural phenomena are analog in nature, and time is continuous.
Nobody bothers to even consider that time could be discrete, because all mathematical models we use today work in
the continuous time-domain, only. Now, is it possible time could be discrete? Of course it is.
While developing microprocessors, we have noticed that the smaller is the base unit of the digitized time
coordinate, the most accurate is the analog to digital signal conversion. Using very, very small digitized time
units, the digital signal may become practically identical to the analog one, and we have no means to
differentiate them. Now, that is practical implementation, but the continuous nature of time it is still there,
since we express it "mathematically". However, mathematical modeling is, and it will forever be, just an
imperfect approximation of reality.
The idea that time could have a discrete nature is greatly unsettling. Why would we need a discrete time
mathematical model to explain reality? A discrete-time mathematical model is needed when dealing with phenomena
that are beyond the atomic model of our Atomic Universe. It is needed to explain Primary Energies, the Certitude
Factors, and the Universal Imbalance Principle. We am not ready to present these concepts now--in fact we do not
want to do it, because it is our intention to present them in our SF books. Please read MERCY, and THREE STORIES
FROM HILSA'N TASSA GALAXY. Their lecture is mandatory, in order to understand the coming, revolutionary concepts
described in LATANCONCOP. In these articles we help you get only a clear picture of what it is described in our SF
books, because we are certain it is not easy to understand them.
Let's make a detour here, because we want to explain something. In "A9: Who are we?" article, we
suggested an innocent test, in order to help you discover your intellectual nature: it works perfectly well. We
suspect that a certain number of people will pass the test, and they will be very happy to find out they represent
the first level of intellectuals. A certain number of people from that first level of intellectuals is going to
discover a fundamental mistake in our test: they represent the second level of intellectuals--a superior one!
Again, a certain number of intellectuals from the second level will discover that we had to do that mistake,
because there is no way to avoid it today, or during the next, say, few millennia. The last group of intellectuals
belong to the third level of intellectuals which is fairly close to MAXIMUM possible (today).
You probably ask to what are these good for. Well, stepping beyond atom and understanding the Subatomic, the
Certitude Factors, and the Universal Imbalance Principle is not ... for everybody. Please excuse this: we have no
intention to segregate the readers, or to be rude to anybody. Let's explain those words. The theory behind the
Subatomic, the Certitude Factors, and the Universal Imbalance Principle is not very complex, and anybody having a
certain level of training in physics and mathematics could understand it. However, the great danger is in USING
the knowledge. Fact is, we believe not just anybody should become capable of using powers beyond imagination.
Those who will understand the theory MUST BE, first of all, very, very good, compassionate people, otherwise
everything could go horribly wrong. That is not only for us, but also for the entire Atomic Universe, and for
billions other intelligent species. This is no joke, dear people, and this also explains why aliens
(extraterrestrial people) are particularly interested into the evolution of our poor and very primitive
civilization.
All right! You could consider the above words just an extension of our SF books, if you want to. Let's return to
our topics. In the previous article we said the most important "things" we have from Hellenic
civilization--which defines us all--are some very advanced ideas. Another extremely important philosophical
Hellenistic concept is: "It is not possible to divide matter to infinity." Of course, the concept
is more complex than our short sentence, and we do encourage the readers to study the topic (Latin philosophers
have analyzed it for centuries).
In fact, this concept, that we cannot divide matter to infinity, leads us to one of the most intriguing problems.
We mentioned in a previous article that beyond atom there are the Primary Energies, and we said they are
"potential of energies" belonging more to the ideological domain than to the material one. Things are
even more confusing when we consider the nature of the Certitude Factors. The truth is, we named them
"Factors" to clearly define their nature as belonging to immaterial. As for the Fundamental Reasons ...
Well, "time" is one of those Reasons. Now the question is: "What is the nature of time?"
Although we are able to measure it, we cannot say time is "material". We have no intention of confusing
you, but time in the Atomic Universe is not quite the same as the time in the Subatomic Universe; further, the
time in the Subatomic Universe is very much different from time as the First Reason of the Certitude
Factors--please read MERCY for details about these concepts.
The ancient philosophers knew that there is a limit beyond which matter must become immaterial--this is an
excellent example of incredibly advanced logic even for our "modern" days. The troublesome aspect is,
"things" that are more like "ideas" in nature could be easily controlled by ...
We fill our existence each day with many captivating "details"--trees--and that prevents us from seeing
the Global Picture--the forest--although, we are part of that Global Picture. More or less, we know (or we think
we know) who, what, and why we are what we are, as individuals but, as a species, we have absolutely no idea of
what is happening around.
