HOAXES AND HOLOGRAMS
OUR ELECTROMAGNETIC UNIVERSE
PART III
Editor’s note: Part II was printed in last week’s CONTACT on p.6; we continue here with Part III of this
3-part series.
RAMANUJAN
Ramanujan, who said he had no proper first name, was a Black man born in India in 1887. The fascinating
story of his life is told in the book The Man Who Knew Infinity by Robert Kanigel. It is the story of a man
from an extremely poor background, who was given little opportunity for schooling, who became one of
the world’s greatest mathematicians, and then died in 1920 at age 33. His mathematics became known as
“21st Century” math and was so far ahead of others that mathematicians today still try to learn new
material from studying his notes.
Ramanujan said his math came from extra-terrestrials, specifically from ones he called the goddess Namagiri
and the god Narasimha. He said that he had dreams from Narasimha in which “scrolls containing the most
complicated mathematics used to unfold before his eyes.” Ramanujan said that he often received information
in dreams, and would often awake and write down something that had come to him. Modern computers
are evaluated and tested by evaluating pi and use an algorithm developed from Ramanujan’s math.
This is an example of one way in which most of us are unaware of the many ways in which we are
influenced every day by “extraterrestrials”.
The theme of humans receiving inspiration from extraterrestrials is a common one throughout history. We
talk of “divining” the truth. The Greeks, for example, had their Muses. Newton, Euler, Aristotle, Leibniz,
Kepler, and on and on all in one way or another attributed inspiration from Higher Powers or spirit beings.
One modern scientist who learned from Ramanujan is Michio Kaku, author of Hyperspace, A Scientific
Odyssey Through Parallel Universes, Time Warps, and the 10th Dimension. He devotes several pages in
his book to Ramanujan. Kaku promotes a theory that the Universe is a bunch of vibrating strings.
FOURIER HOLOGRAMS
Another mathematician named Denis Gabor formulated theories in 1947 that led to the development of the
hologram (for which he won a Nobel Prize). He was using a type of math called Fourier transforms to
convert patterns into simple waves, and then convert the simple waves back into the original patterns. Just
as a TV set converts frequencies into a picture, he was able to take blurred interference patterns created
by collision of light waves recorded on holographic film and turn them back into an image of the original
object.
