2. America and the Maverick

As has been mentioned, America is supposed to enable the scientific enlightenment of the world. This is to happen through cosmology – involving the understanding of the structure of the spacetime universe, and its relation to its past and implication for its future.

Now if we look at the history of physics, we find that up till now three major personalities have been involved whose work constitutes the stepping stones toward the culminatory understanding of the universe, the common thread being their work on gravitation. These three personalities can be related through two-tiers of the system of three-tiered hierarchy.

Based on this it may be predicted that the unified theory of the universe should be formulated by someone of American nationality.

As can be seen, Newton and Einstein came from economic cultures, while Galileo came from a social culture. It is expected that the fourth physicist should also come from a social culture, so as to symmetrize the representation of the cultures.

There are other patterns connecting the personalities as well, which may enable us to identify the fourth physicist more precisely.

A. Date of Birth and Death.

Looking at the dates of birth and death of the preceding three physicists, the same may be predicted for the fourth physicist.

Comparing the birthdays of Galileo and Newton subtractively, we have 15 – 4 = 11; similarly comparing the dates of Einstein and Newton, we have 14 – 4 = 10. We see that the difference decreases by 1 at each step from 11 to 10. If we extend this pattern to the fourth physicist, then we pick his day of birth as the 5th, whereby the difference of the dates between Einstein and the fourth physicist is 14 – 5 = 9.

Comparing the dates of death of Newton and Galileo subtractively, we have 31 – 8 = 23; similarly comparing the dates of Newton and Einstein we have 31 – 18 = 13. We see that the difference decreases by 10 at each step from 23 to 13. To get the same decrease of difference between the fourth physicist and Einstein, we pick his date as the 21st, whereby 21 – 18 = 3.

B. Month of Birth and Death.

When the months of birth of the preceding three physicists are noted, we find that they can be arranged in a continuous series of the calendar (though not historically chronologically) : Newton – January, Galileo – February, and Einstein – March. The next month is April, which may be inferred as the month of birth of the fourth physicist.

Now looking at the months of death of the preceding three physicists – January, March and April – we may apply the principle of calendar chronology to infer the month of death of the fourth physicist as February. This also symmetricizes the representation of the four months with the months of birth.

C. Year of Birth and Death.

If the year of birth of Galileo is subtracted from Newton’s, we have 1643 – 1564 = 79; now if we are to derive the same difference between Einstein’s year of birth and that of the fourth physicist we have to pick the year 1958, whereby 1958 – 1879 = 79.

Similarly, if the year of death of Galileo is subtracted from that of Newton’s, we have 1727 – 1642 = 85; to get the same difference between Einstein’s year of death and that of the fourth physicist we have to pick the year 2040, whereby 2040 – 1955 = 85.

D. Zodiac

When the astrological sun signs of the preceding three physicists are noted, the possible sun sign of the fourth physicist emerges. Galileo (b.15 February) was an Aquarian [Jan 20/21 – Feb18/19;20 (different astrologers use different sign-spans !)], Newton (b. 4 January) was a Capricorn [Dec 21;22/23 – Jan 19/20], while Einstein (b.14 March) was a Piscean [Feb 19,20,21 – Mar20]. These three signs can be arranged chronologically : Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces. And the next sign would be Aries [Mar 21 – April 19].

There are a total of 12 sun signs which are grouped into 4 sets of 3 each; these four sets are characterized as Earth, Air, Water and Fire signs. We see that the three signs of Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces fall under each of the first three sets of signs, respectively; and Aries falls under the remaining Fire sign.

Thus the sun sign of the fourth physicist is expected to be Aries.

The four sets of sun signs also seem to have a degree of gender association as well. The Earth and Air signs seem to be ‘male-informed’, while the Water and Fire signs seem to be ‘female-informed’. The intellectual adulthood of modernity is apparently reflected in the composite character of a Piscean (Einstein) or an Arian physicist, even as they come from male-rooted Western cultures.

E. Name / Initials

When the initials of the three physicists are compared, it is seen that Galileo Galilei and Albert Einstein have double consonant and double vowel combinations; while Isaac Newton has a vowel-consonant combination. To symmetrize the representation of the combinations, it is expected that the initials of the fourth physicist should also have a vowel-consonant combination.

When the alphabets of the names of the preceding three physicists are counted, the first names have a minimum of 5 and a maximum of 7, while the surnames 6 and 8 respectively.

So the fourth physicist could have a minimum of 4 or a maximum of 8 alphabets in the first name, and a minimum of 5 and a maximum of 9 in the surname.
 

The reason the fourth physicist is characterized as a maverick is because intellectual enlightenment through physics is about the universalization of science – it requires that the personality of the physicist should challenge and transcend the intellectual and cultural confines of the scientific/physics community, and make understanding the universe a matter of everyday yet unique importance to the world.

Now the announcement of the unified theory of the universe should have either preceded or coincided with the announcement of the enlightenment of identities of the world. This has not happened. Scientific success of the order of intellectual enlightenment of the world can only come from a society which is committed to the modern reality of reason above all. In American society the most dominant cultural identifier and ideology are race and religion, both of which are pre-modern realities, and preventive of the accomplishment of enlightenment.

As for the future, apart from the necessary contribution to complete the work on the theory of the universe, America has other techno-humanitarian responsibilities, of tackling critical global issues of the environment, energy, health, etc.

Note :

The history of reason may be seen at three levels : philosophy, physics and physiology, through the ancient, medieval and modern ages. There are three personalities relatable through the three-tiered hierarchy, who expressed the essence of their respective disciplines.
