O-126Chapter O:ACADEMIC ASPECTS OF THIS MONOGRAPHThis monograph is already the third English edition, i.e. [5/3e], in a series ofpublications which in chapter S is marked as series number [5]. For me personally, series[5] constitutes a very important group of scientific publications, the research on whichcompletely changed my view of the world around us. The reason is that investigatingmatters which led me to the formulation of this series [5], performed an important function ofan eye opener, and it also inspired various research which later proved to bring variousbreakthrough discoveries in several new disciplines. The major role that this monograph[5/3e] (and also the previous monographs [5/2e] and [5e] from the same series [5] devotedto the Tapanui explosion) have played for crystallizing my personal view of the world aroundus, is explained in the next subsection which describes the unusual history of thispublication.O1. History of this monograph and its influence on the author's viewsThe text of this monograph already represents the third English version/edition,which was prepared independently from other four versions/editions of the same publicationpublished so far in the Polish language. It was not written in a spirit of the moment, but itgradually evolved to the present form from numerous events, experiences, findings,inventions, and scientific discoveries that shaped the life of the author. From the point ofview of this monograph, some of these events were more important then others, thus theyconstituted "milestones", i.e. they strongly impacted the shape this monograph presentlytakes. Below I listed all these most important "milestones" describing them in achronological manner, i.e. gradually as they took place. Because I am reporting them, theyare presented from my point of view. Interesting aspect of these milestones is that theyactually report on the countless silent battles that I needed to fight on the behalf of mankindwith our cosmic parasites and with their collaborators about every single matter which isaddressed in this monograph. As they reveal, the majority of these battles were lost by meand by our civilisation, while in these sparse causes when we made some advancement, itcost us enormous effort and required "forceful pulling the results out of the parasite'sclaws". Here are subsequent milestones which eventuated in this monograph:#1. The cyclic principle and “cyclic table” (1972). Everything started over quarter ofcentury ago, namely in 1972, with my discovery of what was later named the "cyclicprinciple". At that time I was a senior lecturer at the Technical University of Wroclaw inPoland. I fell sick with a flu, while immediately after my sick leave was to finish, I had alecture regarding "selected aspects of propulsion systems". I had no textbooks to preparemy lecture at home, so while lying sick in bed I was trying to work out what I was going tosay to my students so that it is on the topic of propulsion systems and at the same time Icould prepare it at home without the use of academic textbooks. In this way I come up withthe "cyclic principle" (i.e. I discovered it). This principle takes a form of a "cyclic table", verysimilar to the Periodic Table of the Elements (sometimes also called the Mendeléev Table).What my "cyclic principle" basically says, is that there is a repetitive pattern, or key, which iscyclically repeated in all human inventions, and that if we learn this cyclic pattern, or key,then on the basis of what was already invented we can very accurately predict what stillawaits to be invented. In a manner almost identical as it was done by the Periodic Table ofthe Elements, my first "cyclic table" combined together all the basic propulsion systems that
