The National Academy of Sciences (PDF) (today includes the National Academy of Engineering and the National Academy of Medicine) was established in 1863 by an Act of Congress. It was signed by President Abraham Lincoln. Charged to provide ”…independent, objective advice to the nation on matters related to science and technology,” a key comment by Einstein is implicated. He said, “The right to search for truth implies also a duty. One must not conceal any part of what one has recognized to be true.”

Dear friends:
It may surprise you to learn that Stephen Hawking, Alan Guth, Andrei Linde and other leading thinkers of Big Bang cosmology never stopped to do an actual exponential notation of numbers using, for example, Planck’s natural units. Neither did Max Planck, Albert Einstein, nor Erwin Schrödinger do such an analysis. None of our Nobel laureates explored the numbers generated by base-2 exponential notation. If any scholar-scientist explored exponential notation from the start of the universe, they would have begun to discern the 202 base-2 notations and there would have been a fundamental stir within academia.
Base-2 notation readily encapsulates everything, everywhere, for all time. By using Max Planck’s natural units, it does so in just 202 exponential notations from the first moment to this current moment and day.
Our project began in December 2011 when we, in the midst of our geometry studies, unwittingly applied base-2 exponential notation using Max Planck’s base units. We created our first very simple chart for our high school geometry classes (New Orleans). Five years later, we included the other base units and made it into a horizontally-scrolled chart: https://81018.com/chart/
That year, 2016, was when Stephen Hawking so confidently claimed on PBS-TV, “Where did the universe come from? The answer, as most people can tell you, is the big bang. Everything in existence, expanding exponentially in every direction, from an infinitely small, infinitely hot, infinitely dense point, creating a cosmos filled with energy and matter. But what does that really mean and where did it all begin?” –Stephen Hawking, PBS Special, Genius, 2016
The first notations have not been explored by academia. It’s time to acknowledge their mathematical and logical existence and to speculate about their significance in our grasp to understand who we are and why. Thank you.
Warmly,
Bruce
PS. We will continue to write directly to three of your board members (and distinguished physicists), Andrea J. Liu, Ken Ribet and Michael Witherell, for their advice and counsel. -BEC

Sunday, 12 May 2024: Planck base units
- Remember the Planck base units did not begin to gain general acceptance until 2001 with the publication in Physics Today of Frank Wilczek’s three articles, Scaling Mt. Planck I, II, and III. There was a slow adoption. By that time, big bang cosmology was the generally accepted theory for the beginning of the universe.
- We posit that the Planck units define the first instance of spacetime that begins the universe. That moment was not “infinitely small.” It has actual dimensionality. It was not infinitely hot. In these studies it is an open question. And, it was not infinitely dense point. It was dense; yet again in these studies, there is a calibration of mass, charge, length, and time so the calculation of an actual density is possible.
- Another most significant calculation, if we take as a given that there is one plancksphere per unit of Planck Time and Planck Length, a natural rate of expansion of the universe is given. Planck Time, calculated by Max Planck in 1899, renders 185+ tredecillion spheres per second. That rate is based on simple logic. We are asking Andrea J. Liu of the University of Pennsylvania, Ken Ribet of Berkeley, and Michael Witherell of the Lawrence Berkeley National Lab to help interpret the data.
Tuesday, 14 May 2024: Qualities of the infinite
The infinitesimal sphere at Notation-0 and perhaps also Notation-1 defines qualities of the infinite. Our working summary of those qualities is here — https://81018.com/csh/ — and further discussions of the qualitative are here — https://81018.com/value/ — and throughout the website.
Wednesday, 15 May 2024: On recognizing infinity, the infinite, and nature of indivisibility
Discussions about the infinite and infinity are robust and our style here within this website is to avoid the use of words associated with personal histories. Obviously at times our leading thinkers include such references, like the one that Nobel laureate, Leon Lederman (an atheist) used to describe the Higgs boson. He called it the God particle. In much the same spirit, a recent article by Espen Gaarder Haug, considers Planck Time an indivisible unit, the smallest unit, and thus the first unit of time in an article titled, God Time=Planck time.
