Congress nears deal to end shutdown, avert default Susan Davis, USA TODAY 11:29 a.m. EDT October 16, 2013 usatoday/story/news/2013/10/16/government-shutdown-debt-limit-congress-deal/2993181/ WASHINGTON — Congress was heading toward a climactic resolution Wednesday to reopen the federal government after a 16-day partial shutdown as well as avert an unprecedented debt default. MISTER PRESIDENT: It is in adversity, I was going to say in darkness, that one recognizes true friends. That we are in the midst of crisis is now well understood. But ’’Congress nears deal to end shutdown, avert default ’’. Each of us should express solidarity, according to his means. My contribution, again refers, Mister President, to an inexhaustible source of energy, which one should tame now. In a book with limited publication, translated in English for the needs of the cause, entitled BILL A RI And There Was Light, addressed during his last American election campaign to President Bill Clinton who acknowledged having received it, I dared to tackle this subject. Its like to say to you, President Obama, which in the exceptional circumstances in which we live today - in the point of view of energy - no exploration in the mid or long term, by the American expertise, of an additional source of energy, at the same time safe and profitable, should not be ruled out. There is no witchcraft at all involved in all that, Mister President. In spite of my Haitian ascent and my carefully phrased remarks. It is undoubtedly so when a taboo should be broken through. A taboo of magnitude, Sir, I admit it. A scientific taboo, seldom encountered. The taboo arises as a negative categorical imperative, affirms Roger Caillois. It is not saying little. Especially when it is a question of adequately correcting the theory of Newton on light and colors. However, at the dawn of the twenty first century, to denounce this taboo, to reverse it, should I say what an asset! Moreover, at the same time the multiple taboos grow blurred which surround another phenomenon of the highest scientific range, the well known phenomenon under the abusive name of Black Holes, synthesis of light and colors. Indeed Newton, in good faith undoubtedly in his time, really reversed the interpretation of the phenomenon of light. He took the part for the whole! So much and so well that today like yesterday, the visible appears so much more tempting. Physicists say it: ninety to ninety nine percent of the matter of the universe (Grosso Modo - said here roughly by Lucien BONNET - for more precisions see LINKS or GOOGLE) is made up of a dark matter, invisible, which generates, propels and surrounds the visible, like the sea surrounds the continents. Scientists such as Stephen Hawking affirm it. The Hubble Telescope confirms it. But theoretical Optics is stagnant. My intervention, here, President Obama, would mean that. It is possible to use another form of energy. By decoding the Black Matter. Without a play on words. Theoretically initially. While returning the elevator to Newton - without a play on words. By the Act which consists in making an AMENDMENT TO THE LAW OF NEWTON ON LIGHT AND COLORS. Presently, why should we take the result instead of the cause? - Objectively and in a pragmatic way, how not focusing on the new synthesis? Consequently, what liberation! At the threshold of the third millennium, let light live, invisible by synthesis, visible by analysis! Synthesis and analysis are two wings of the same bird, the rhythm of the universes heartbeat, tamed inside the infinitely small having mass. Successively contracted and deployed. In the benefit of humanity. One small step for Man, one giant leap for Mankind - I also said myself - in BILL A RI and there was light! Unfortunate, yes, but how much a convenient Energy crisis if I dare say which invites us to explore other avenues, other concepts and, therefore, other resources so far neglected. Invitation to go from the invisible to the visible and vice versa. Taking advantage of the sequence of colorless and colored luminous speeds. In order to better understand the Universe. Where Law and Order prevail. Just like in Democracy! Energetic formula with a unique character! In the name of Science and Technology, vapor is being reverse! A winning formula! In The United States of America. By The United States of America. For The United States Of America and abroad! With you today, President Obama, I repeat this sentence - since 1972 and 1978 - that is to say forty years old, but always, in my opinion, carrying the same message that I wish more and more positive for the years to come, in the third millennium, as I said since 1972 and on April 10, 1978, in a Letter to Doctor Carl Sagan: On the cosmic scale as on the terrestrial scale, darkness or blackness forms an integral, sine qua non part, of color and light process. Is it still broad daylight In the shadow of the Black Sun? Lucien BONNET contact-canadahaiti.ca PLEASE SEE: (The CERN Large Hadron Collider) What Are the Worst Technological Innovations of All Time? We think about technological progress as moving us forward, but for every giant leap, there are just as many awkward sidesteps. Today, we want to know about the technological advances that time (justly!) forgets.

NEWTON’S THEORY OF COLORS Following the article I published in the Montreal daily newspaper Le Devoir on February 26, 1986 concerning anti-Black prejudice in the West, the newspaper received reactions from all over Canada, both from the Black community and from scientific circles. Most people who reached me, while completely agreeing with me in my analysis of the deep causes of those prejudices, stated that they were not fully satisfied with what I said about the harmfulness of these prejudices in the scientific field, especially when I mentioned, as an example of that contagion, Newton’s Theory of colors. Since not enough space was available in the paper, I could not express my point of view in detail. So I will now give a concise demonstration of why Newton’s Theory of Colors is false. First of all, what is Newton’s Theory of Colors? Let me remind readers that the concept of “color” that stems from scientific experimentation is based on the demonstration in 1665 by the well-known scientist Isaac Newton. This experiment consists in running a visible light ray called “white light” through a prism in a dark room, breaking down that light into a continuous spectrum encompassing all the colors. Newton thought he had there by proven that white light is broken down by the prism into a series of seven refracted rays which produced the colors from red to violet on the screen on which they are projected. He therefore concluded that white light contains various lights, each one of which is darker than the white light itself and each of which is part of the whole. And the darkest of all (real blackness), according to Newton, is simply an absence of light. My point of view, which is shared by many scientists, is that when the dark room, which is actually black, is penetrated by the “visible light ray”, it turns into an area with a mixture of darkness and white light, so that it is no longer a “dark room”. This is the origin of “Newton’s error”, which is the result of an incorrect observation. In other words, the basic elements of his experiment are not what he thought they were: in the course of the experiment, we are actually dealing with a quasi-dark or quasi-white room. Consequently, the prism in that quasi-dark room reflects the real situation; that is to say, the prism itself is already under the influence of this mixture of white light and darkness. That fact escaped Newton’s notice. In fact, the prism in the dark room where the experiment was carried out receives darkness from one angle and a beam of white light from the other. The prism thereby puts these two elements into action. The incident light ray is transformed, softened under the effect of the surrounding shade. Acting as a wave mixer, the prism integrates the white light and the darkness. It synthesizes them in vitro based on a given degree in the well-known “Gray scale” used in photography and color television. Under the effect of the incident ray, which acts like a projector, the refracted, very subtle gray ray passes through the prism. The continuous spectrum of all the colors is formed in a quasi-dark room on a quasi-white screen, given that the spectrum was born of both white light and darkness. We therefore find that the continuous color scale, as we know it, is constituted by the breaking down, not of white light, but a mixture of white light and darkness — that is, of “gray”. As the German scholar Johann Wolfgang von Goethe wrote: “This is the proof of the existence of the law where by light is nothing else than a mixture of light and darkness, to different degrees.” [our translation] Thus, Newton’s theory of colors proves to be completely false. Nevertheless, the techniques used in industries dealing with photography, cinematography and television are still based on that erroneous theory. In photography, laboratories are quick to discover in their work that the sum of the colors of the spectrum is gray, not white. That is why they are compelled to introduce the black color to obtain the white. There you have a demonstration in reverse that black is an integral part of light and color processes. Remember that this fact completely escaped Newton’s notice. Unfortunately, even though, in their use and application of the color scale, photo labs notice Newton’s error and correct it in practice, they still do not make the error more widely known. Why ? Some people might say that big industries using color processes — printing, photography, movies, television and even microprocessors — keep to that erroneous theory for the sake of major financial interests, especially concerning patents and trade secrets. In addition, certain anti-Black prejudices, deeply rooted in Western culture as well as in the field of optics, have to be taken into account at this “phase of rest and almost stagnation, rather than theoretical progress”. It is then up to the scientific world today — researchers, university professors, etc. — to overcome such hindrances and correct Newton’s theory, in order to free the way for progress.

Nous parlons de transfert et d’organisation de l’information, mais il s’agit au final d’acquérir des connaissances et un savoir. Comment se représenter mentalement ce processus complexe d’apprentissage ? Par exemple, en utilisant la métaphore de la diffraction de la lumière blanche en couleurs. Dans la section libre opinion de LA PRESSE du 21 février en 1992, Lucien Bonnet fait remarquer que Newton n’avait pas considéré, lors de son expérience sur la diffraction de la lumière blanche en 1665, que son rayon lumineux passait à travers un milieu sombre (une boîte noire) pour ensuite traverser un prisme afin d’être décomposé ou réfracté en différentes couleurs. Le savant anglais n’avait pas remarqué que la lumière blanche, une fois entrée dans son milieu sombre, n’était plus blanche mais grise. «Ainsi donc, écrit-il, nous constatons que la «gamme continue» de couleurs telle que nous la connaissons, constitue la décomposition non pas de la lumière blanche mais d’un mélange de lumière blanche et d’obscurité, c’est-à-dire d’un gris». Ce commentaire d’un lecteur me pousse à faire une analogie dans laquelle la «lumière blanche» représente la chose à apprendre et la boîte noire, le milieu incident qui réunit toutes les composantes d’un apprentissage dans un espace / temps prédéterminé. Ce milieu incident de l’apprentissage, dans la réalité, n’est pas nécessairement sombre et fermé, mais a la particularité de contenir des composantes en interraction dans un espace physique qui encadre l’exercice intellectuel. Plus précisément, cette «lumière blanche» devenue grise doit traverser un prisme et se retransformer en une gamme de couleurs continue. Le milieu réfringeant (le prisme) à l’intérieur du milieu incident (la boîte) symbolise l’apprenant et son effort intellectuel pour organiser les différents transferts d’information. Cette analogie avec la source lumineuse influencée par le milieu incident peut aider à visualiser certaines étapes clés pour retenir un enseignement. Visualiser un processus d’apprentissage oblige de tenir compte de ce fameux milieu incident (la boîte noire) qui transforme dès le départ l’action d’apprendre. On parle d’ambiance, de lieu physique, d’interaction avec des collègues, de contact personnel avec l’enseignant, d’état d’esprit et même de la combinaison de tous ces éléments à la fois. Faites vous-mêmes l’expérience de lire dans différents endroits pendant des périodes plus ou moins longues avec des personnes autour de vous pour réaliser que le milieu incident influence la qualité de votre concentration. Le milieu de l’apprentissage en est donc une composante importante. Plus nous sommes soucieux de la qualité de ce milieu incident, plus notre apprentissage sera une expérience réussie. Dans l’exemple de Newton, si la lumière blanche doit absolument traverser une chambre obscure pour dévoiler la gamme continue de couleurs, c’est que l’on présuppose que le milieu incident doit être une espace contraire à la source lumineuse. Dans un apprentissage, le milieu incident n’a pas à s’opposer à l’enseignement, mais plustôt à être complémentaire. Certains apprentissages demandent un cadre physique déterminé (une école, une classe, une chambre), d’autres, un espace imaginaire dont une photo, un film ou un dessin peuvent devenir le rappel. Certains disposent la photo de leur enfant sur leur bureau de travail sans doute parce que c’est une composante essentielle de leur milieu incident. D’autres préférent sentir la présence humaine autour d’eux quand ils font un travail intellectuel parce que le milieu, «réchauffé» par la présence humaine, procure ainsi une ambiance plus agréable que la froideur de la solitude. Ainsi, on peut dire que le milieu incident de notre apprentissage aide au transfert, voire à la réalisation de cette «gamme continue de couleurs» que l’on peut appeler la connaissance.
