This site is dedicated to the research of the American engineer Dewey B. Larson (1898-1990). Specifically, it's purpose is to provide a research and discussion mechanism for Larson's works, known collectively as the Reciprocal System of physical theory, or the "RS" theory.

Pondering the Scalar Mathematics of the Fundamental Postulates

In contemplating the postulated scalar, or magnitude only, motion of the universe of motion, we are assuming that it exists in three dimensions, in discrete units, with two reciprocal aspects, space and time. One of the first questions that arises then concerns how to express this motion, or even illustrate it, appropriately.

Pondering the Euclidean Geometry of the Fundamental Postulates

In the previous post, I explained how the second postulate, like the third postulate, is not really needed, if one understands that the assumptions it makes explicitly are really a consequence of the logic of the first postulate; That is, if it is assumed that the units of space-time are all that exist, and that they exist as reciprocals, and the only way a non-unit ratio of these units can be formed is if the scalar "direction" of their increase can change to a scalar decrease, and thereafter alternate between an increase and a decrease of scalar magnitude, then it follows that t

Pondering the Fundamental Postulates

On the RS2 site, here, Bruce Peret discusses the history of Larson's development of the fundamental postulates from which he deduced his universe of motion. Bruce makes some interesting observations on the evolution of the postulates, which started me thinking about some fundamental issues in geometry and mathematics.

ISUS 2009 Annual Meeting of Members

Due to some unforseen problems with travel and holiday plans, the ISUS Conference for December is going to be rescheduled in January. Updates will be posted as available.

Bruce Peret, Secretary

 

After discussions with the officers and other Trustees, Phillip Porter, moves and Hoyt Stearns seconds that:

The formal 2009 ISUS Annual Membership and Board meeting be held Saturday and Sunday, December 12 and 13, 2009 at ISUS Headquarters, 1680 East Atkin Ave., Salt Lake City, UT 84106. Informal discussions and preparatory meetings will be held on December 10-11, 2009.

End motion; PASSED October 17, 2009.

No times have yet been set. A tentative agenda has been suggested by the Officers:

  1. The Release of the 50th Anniversary Edition of The Structure of the Physical Universe.
  2. Papers targeted at issues surrounding the Second Fundamental Postulate, proposal by Rainer Huck (see comments).
  3. Report on the theoretical development of the "RS2" research being conducted by Dr. Bruce Peret, Prof. KVK Nehru and Gopi Krishna V.
  4. Other presented papers.

ISUS is making a formal call for papers at this time. We request abstracts be posted on the web site in advance of formal presentations. Instructions will be provided shortly as a followup to this notice.

For information on lodging arrangements or pickup at the Salt Lake City International Airport, contact Dr. Rainer Huck, 801-467-3795. Limited accommodations are available at ISUS HQ (Rainer's home).

New Science Advocates 3rd Annual Conference--Introduction by Frank H. Meyer

Introduction to the New Science Advocates 3rd Annual Conference by Professor Frank H. Meyer of the University of Wisconsin, Superior.

Professor Meyer discusses Ptolemaic epicycles as an analogy to conventional science's "epicycles."

Some Thoughts on Spin

Detailed study of the characteristics of the so-called nucleus of the atom has not been carried out by Larson. Therefore we have undertaken this much needed investigation and been reporting our results.[1-3]

It has been our experience that such investigation hardly ever proceeds in a strictly serial manner. Rather, it is more akin to the process of fitting the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle together. Nascent understanding gradually builds up and evolves from various seemingly diverse starting points, the concepts on each line of thinking modifying the ones on other lines, and in turn themselves getting modified by the latter. Eventually a nexus of coherent structure ensues. The thoughts presented in this article too constitute such a preliminary group of ideas that might serve to crystallize some of the earlier concepts enunciated on the topic of the so-called atomic nucleus.

The Space-Time Universe

Part 1

(Reprinted from the Theosophy-Science Group Bulletin, Volume XX, Number 3, June, 1981.)

The last years of Einstein were spent in pursuing his cherished dream of evolving a general theory of the universe. He never succeeded. Nor anyone else did, so far. The body of knowledge which we call physical science is at present only a loose collection of numerous different theories, each constructed to explain a particular domain of facts and not applicable to another set of facts. There has not been a general theory covering all physical phenomena, from the microscopic to the macroscopic.

The Lifetime of the Neutron

Theoretical findings of the Reciprocal System indicate that the neutron exists in two forms: as the massless type, M ½-½-0, and as the compound type, M 1-1-(1) == C (½)-(½)-1. As matters now stand, while the massless neutron is unobserved, the compound neutron is identified as the observed neutron. Larson1 shows how the mass of the compound neutron, calculated from the Reciprocal System, agrees with the observed value. This paper attempts to arrive at the compound neutron’s lifetime on the basis of the same theoretical system and thus add a further element of validation to the identification of the compound neutron.
