The scientific community was shocked by the confessions made by the American scientist Jack Sarfatti, one of the most respected experts in the field of quantum physics. According to the physicist, the impetus that awakened his scientific curiosity was the contact with an unknown mind that happened in his adolescence.
“I was warned,” the physicist admitted, “that my revelations could greatly damage my colleagues' opinion. However, I am a serious scientist and used to be sincere and truthful in everything.
I am convinced that a person engaged in science does not have the right to hide objective facts, disingenuous before his conscience to please public opinion. If we are not yet able to explain some things, then this does not mean that they do not exist.
"Specialist" in science Jack Sarfatti was born on September 14, 1939 in Brooklyn (New York) into a poor family of the Italian Jew Chaim Sarfatti and his wife Mildred. After leaving school, a talented young man receives a grant from an Italian charitable foundation to continue his education. In 1960, he earned a Bachelor of Science in Physics from Cornell University under the guidance of Hans Bett, who won the 1967 Nobel Prize in Physics.
In 1967-71, Sarfatti taught physics at a number of American universities, then for some time at higher educational institutions in London, then at the International Center for Theoretical Physics in Trieste, after which he returned to the States on a wave of recognition.
Sarfatti occupies a special place in science. From the very beginning, his scientific work was distinguished by a sharp orientation against the established views, his own vision of modern problems. He constantly opposed the separation of the exact and humanitarian sciences, considering them a single whole and calling physics "the philosophy of modern science."
The range of his interests is unusually wide: here is the theoretical substantiation of parapsychological phenomena, and quantum physics, and the problems of expanding consciousness, and ways to extend life, and the future conquest of space. Sarfatti proposed his solution to the famous Bell's theorem, suggesting that subatomic particles have a special telepathic connection (traditional physicists, who shy away from words such as telepathy, parapsychology, and so on, carefully call it nonlinear communication). In his opinion, unidentified flying objects, the very existence of which for many scientists is a taboo that lies outside the scope of scientific interests, are messengers from the future, completely terrestrial flying vehicles, but operating on principles that are still unknown to man, since they belong to the time that still to come.
One of Sarfatti's favorite ideas is the idea that our present is determined by the future. This position, seditious for a traditionally thinking scientist, since it turns all our ideas about causality upside down, fits perfectly into the system of Sarfatti's scientific constructions. In this regard, how not to recall the words of the great Niels Bohr that science does not reject crazy ideas at all. The only question is whether the idea is crazy enough to be interesting for science …

Great Madmen The history of human development testifies that all the brilliant ideas, which later served as the basis for the rapid breakthroughs of science and technology, were met with hostility by contemporaries, declaring them unscientific, fantastic, and even delusional. So, in 1860, Professor Poggendorf argued that human speech cannot be transmitted over a distance using electrical signals, and considered the telephone "the same mythical idea as a unicorn." Millionaire J. P. Morgan, seeing how the telephone worked, wrote to its inventor Bell that the device was "unprofitable."
In his book The Critics' Misses, R. Duncan writes that in January 1906, Scientific American magazine refused to publish a message about the first flight of the Wright brothers, calling it a "duck."
In 1933, the brilliant physicist Lord Rutherford called the release of nuclear energy "complete rubbish." And in June 1945, Admiral Lee declared that the Manhattan Project was “the greatest folly we have ever done. This bomb will never go off. I claim this as an explosives specialist."
The first atomic bomb was detonated a month later.
In 1945, Physics Doctor W. Bush argued that no rocket would fly more than 3000 miles, and in 1960, Dr. Richard Woolsey assured that space flight is "absolute nonsense." In 1957 Sir Harold Spencer Jones, the most famous astronomer, wrote in The New Scientist that "generations will pass before a man lands on the moon." 12 years later, Neil Armstrong walked on the satellite of our planet.
Mom's victory But we digress from the topic. So what happened to the future physicist Jack Sarfatti as a teenager? “In 1952,” Sarfatti says, “when I was 12 years old, the phone rang. I heard a strange metallic voice in the receiver.
The stranger introduced himself as a UFO onboard computer and politely asked if I would like to communicate with the aliens. They intend to teach me some knowledge and asked my consent. I was given freedom of choice. I remember getting goosebumps down my spine. It was scary, but also insanely interesting. For a minute, doubts crept in: what if it's some kind of sexual pervert? Any guy going to kill me? But in the end I said yes. I was a boy, and the possibility of such an amazing adventure was stronger.
Then I ran out into the street - we lived then in Brooklyn. Mother was not at home.
I ran to my buddies and shouted: “Hey, I just got a call from a flying saucer! Come to me! They are already on the way, they are going to climb through the window and take me with them. " We were a kind of "hopeless children", a gang of boys almost the same as in the movie "Generals of the Sand Pits". We went upstairs and, of course, nothing happened.
The offended Jack decided that he had been cruelly joked. However, the strange calls did not stop. Subsequently, Jack's mother claimed that there were at least a dozen of them.
“Yes, my mother remembered it well,” Jack continues. - And I, it turns out, have forgotten a lot. Mom said that for several weeks, during which they called me, I wandered around with an absent air and behaved so strangely that she worried about my health.
One fine day she herself went to the phone and heard the address of this very computer. The metallic voice made no impression on her. She said sternly: “Leave my boy alone! So that I don't hear any more calls. Otherwise I will take my measures."
My mom, a strong personality, said her weighty word to a flying saucer or whatever the devil knows what. That was the end of it - the computers didn't call us anymore.
Sarfatti does not remember what the aliens told him, but he is sure that the information he received played a significant role in his career. He never left the feeling that the origins of his scientific ideas, especially those concerning mental phenomena, were connected in some way with these childhood experiences.
Many years later, Jack Sarfatti solved Bell's theorem, and he has many important discoveries in quantum physics. And the beginning of everything was laid by a raspy mechanical voice, which sounded once in the distant years in the slum of Brooklyn …
Everything in everything What is the essence of Bell's theorem, solved by Jack Sarfatti? To put it simply and briefly, any particle in the world carries information about all matter in the universe. That is, everything is connected with everything. This concept of the world existed long before the birth of quantum mechanics and Bell's theorem, for example, in Buddhism. Incidentally, the fathers of quantum mechanics argued that their "new physics" is similar to Eastern theology.
Bell's theorem recognizes the phenomena of esotericism and parapsychology. Prediction of the future becomes possible and the theory of torsion (information) fields is confirmed, which is being intensively developed in our time by a small group of scientists, but is not at all accepted by orthodox science.
Sarfatti is convinced that the theorem is a discovery that can be a leap towards the unification of religion and science.
Why, for all 38 years of the existence of the theorem, "big science" is marking time? Most scientists either say that "Bell's theorem is proven … but not true", or they lean towards the "Copenhagen interpretation", which says that most of the discoveries of science are not the real world, but the way we see it or want to see it.
The Copenhagen Interpretation was developed by Niels Bohr and colleagues in 1926-1928. The attitude towards it is also ambiguous: it is difficult to find two scientists who would interpret it in the same way. Basically, the "Copenhagen Interpretation" is the last refuge of the Orthodox when they need to deny something incomprehensible. Bell's theorem is proven both theoretically and experimentally. And therefore, if you do not take into account the Copenhagen Interpretation, there is no reason not to believe it. Except for one: to consider that our world is not similar to the one described in quantum mechanics, from which Bell proceeded.
Sarfatti's firm opinion is that Bell's theorem is a fact that is not perceived by people because of their "dull" psychology. "Since this is not within the scope of my mind, then it is wrong" is a principle known in psychology by which many people perceive the world.
In recent years, Sarfatti has retired from teaching, devoting all his time to writing popular science books, in which he tries to give at least an approximate answer to the most burning problems of life: “Who are we? Where did you come from and where are we going? " From under his pen came out a lot of books with meaningful titles "Supercosmos", "Matrix of Fate", "What time hides", "Time and space: an attempt to explain the inexplicable."
