美國科學家為時光機申請專利

2011年10月12日 0:00:03

A time tunnel of tomorrow – what a way to commute!
The patent for a time machine has been filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office by one Dr. Marvin B. Pohlman of Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Who is Marvin B. Pohlman?
An American scientist, Marvin B. Pohlman is a man of many talentsand a very busy man.
According to his bio he's the Director of Governance, Risk and Compliance product strategy for a major Bay area enterprise software company. Despite the demands of his career, he's also managed to author three text books on IT governance and security. [Amazon - "Oracle Identity Management: Governance, Risk, and Compliance Architecture, Third Edition"]
In whatever spare time such a man has left, he found enough of it to invent a time machine.
By creating an artificial wormhole time travel is possible.
At first glance, such a thing might be too fantastic a notion to believe, yet Pohlman does hold a Bachelor of Science in Engineering Physics, an MBA from Lexington Business School, and a PhD in computer science from Trinity University.
He's also a member of Portland Mensa, and is a Licensed Professional Engineer, Certified Information Systems Auditor, Certified Information Security Manager and Certified Information Systems security professional.
Perhaps he invented the time machine because he discovered he hasn't enough time to squeeze in everything he wants to accomplish?
A time traveler literally has all the time in the world
Regardless of why he invented it, he has.
From an abstract associated with the patent, Pohlman explains:
"The method employs sinusoidal oscillations of electrical bombardment on the surface of one Kerr type singularity in close proximity to a second Kerr type singularity in such a method to take advantage of the Lense-Thirring effect, to simulate the effect of two point masses on nearly radial orbits in a 2+1 dimensional anti-de Sitter space resulting in creation of circular timelike geodesics conforming to the van Stockum under the Van Den Broeck modification of the Alcubierre geometry (Van Den Broeck 1999) permitting topology change from one spacelike boundary to the other in accordance with Geroch's theorem (Geroch 1967) resulting in a method for the formation of Godel-type geodesically complete spacetime envelopes complete with closed timelike curves."
If you think this is all a big joke, take a look at the patent filing here. Scroll down and study the schematics and check out the math.
What you're looking at may not last much longer in full public view. If the finished product works the U.S. military will grab it, wipe all references to it, and plunge it into another one of their deep, dark black projects.
As you can imagine, some familiar with the patent filing are skeptical.
Manipulating time and space for fun and profit
On a thread discussing Pohlman's time machine, one poster named "thinking aloud" had this observation about those who flatly asserted that traveling through time would never be possible:
"Yes and they once said it was impossible to split the atom and create a single bomb that could hollow out an entire city. And we all know how that turned out."
One thing everybody agrees with is the fact that whenever traveling through time is accomplished then time travel immediately exists throughout eternity.
Evidence for time travel may already exist. [See: Before It's News, Time Traveler's Footprints Found]
In another time-related development, a Russian engineer claims he already has a working time machine built and tested. Although his machine is a Model T compared to Pohlman's Ferrari (if it's ever built). [See: Before It's News, Scientist Builds Working Time Machine]
Pohlman and the 'John Titor' connection
Titor's alleged time machine manufactured by GE
Some armchair Internet scientists have made a connection between Pohlman and an infamous personage named John Titor.
Who is John Titor?
"John Titor is the pseudonym of a person who claimed to be a time traveler from the year 2036. He appeared in Internet chatrooms and on message boards for a few months back in the winter of 2000 to 2001." [John Titor – Time Traveler]
Titor amazed and entertained hundreds of physicists and IT experts. He asserted he came from the future to accomplish a mission in the past. On his way back he stopped off in 2000 for several months to visit with his young parents and younger self in Florida.
His younger version was only a toddler in 2000.
Time machine built by GE in 2034
He told the group on the Internet his time machine was built in 2034 by General Electric for the U.S. Army. He was one of an elite group of travelers and had been tasked to retrieve an obsolete part for an IBM mainframe computer—a part that only a handful of people in 2000 even knew IBM had once manufactured back in the 1970s.
Titor claimed his machine, a model C204 Gravity Distortion Time Displacement Unit (GDTDU), was powered by a mini-black hole made by CERN in Switzerland. It was kept suspended in a magnetic bottle.
Whenever he appeared on the newsgroups, techies and scientists bombarded him with questions.
He offered them insights into what was coming such as another Iraq war and an attack on New York City that would change the skyline.
They scoffed.
Later, when those things came to pass, the people who had challenged him—even mocked him—were amazed and a little frightened.
Laser light bending from black hole gravity field
Of particular interest to the questioners: much more information on the C204. Titor obliged them by posting some photos of it and demonstrated a pen laser beam bending from gravity waves emitted by the black hole power source. Although skeptical, many in the group were impressed by that.

Is Pohlman 'John Titor,' time traveler?
Those intimately familiar with the incredible story believe that Pohlman may be the mysterious John Titor. They claim some of the schematics appearing in the patent filing are the same as ones that appeared in the GE manufacturer's manual that described the operation of the military-issued time machine that Titor claimed transported him from 2036 back to the 1970s and then forward to his parent's Florida home in 2000.
In 2001 Titor announced the visit with his parents had come to an end. He was ready to return to the future and posted a farewell on the newsgroup.
After that post Titor was never heard from again.

美國癌症學會與乳房攝影設備業者金錢往來密切

美國癌症學會與乳房攝影設備業者金錢往來密切

專題作家 大衛古雷茲
根據癌症預防專家山繆艾普斯坦及羅莎莉伯特爾所提出的指控,美國癌症學會與乳房攝影檢查設備業者有金錢往來,使得其癌症檢測受到利益衝突的玷污。

艾普斯坦醫師是癌症預防聯會的主席,伯特爾則是國際人道主義醫學醫師組織的一員。
「乳房攝影業者經常會幫助 ACS 進行研究,而且也是其諮詢委員會的一員,還捐贈了大量的資金」,他們說到。「杜邦 (DuPont) 也是 ACS 乳房保健意識計畫的重要支持者之一,經常贊助電視廣告以及醫院、診所、醫療機構及醫師的媒體宣傳活動、製作教育影片,並且積極地遊說美國國會立法,促動全 國推行乳房攝影檢查。」
美國預防工作小組之所以修訂乳癌篩檢的方針,建議減少乳房攝影檢查的次數,部分的原因即是因為乳房攝影檢查實際上會增加乳癌的風險。根據艾普斯坦及 伯特爾的說法,女性在更年期前光是接受乳房攝影檢查,10 年之內照射的輻射量可高達 5 雷得 (Rad) 之多,相當於站立在廣島及長崎原子彈引爆點外 1 英里的地方所接受到的輻射量。
乳房攝影檢查通常只會偵測到不具威脅性的癌症腫瘤,比起更具侵略性及致命的類型,這類的腫瘤根本不需要治療。但是 ACS 在麻州所刊登的廣告卻是以兩名 20 歲的女性 (聯邦政府早已表示不建議 40 歲以下的女性接受乳房攝影檢查) 代言,保證早期發現乳癌,治療率可「高達將近 100%」。
當被問及這套說法的依據時,ACS 的公關主管回應表示,「這則廣告並非依據什麼研究。廣告製作的原則只是盡其所能地吸引消費者上門。你必須誇大其辭地指出重點。現今的乳房攝影檢查是一項利潤豐厚且競爭激烈的產業。」
有鑒於 ACS 推廣乳房攝影的作法,《慈善紀事》對此表示,「這個機構將賺錢看得比救命還重要。」

可口可樂與可卡因的故事

可口可樂與可卡因的故事



咀 嚼可卡葉 (Coca Leaves) 或是將可卡葉泡茶飲用在安地斯山脈已經有數千年的歷史。可卡葉中富含許多必需的營養素,不僅可以舒緩呼吸道不適及消化不良等問題,還是天然的興奮劑及止痛 劑。傳統及科學研究皆已經證實天然的可卡葉完全沒有危險性也不會成癮,只有經過高度加工及有毒化學物質的淬鍊才會產生所謂的可卡因 (Cociane) ,這也是越來越多含有可卡的產品過去幾年在安地斯山地區蓬勃發展的原因。

但是美國方面卻不停地要求安地斯山地區的政府在森林裡灑下有毒化學物質以消滅這種藥用作物。除了可口可樂公司之外,在美國的法律之下進口或種植這種作物都是不合法的。為了維持他們暢銷飲料的傳統風味,可口可樂公司很久以前就已經說服美國政府讓其擁有法律的豁免權。
※    可口可樂原先的配方即是因含有可卡因而得名, 1903 年停用可卡因之後原名還是保留使用。可口可樂的可口 (Coca) 是取自可卡樹的原文 Coca,而可樂 (Cola) 也是取自原本用於配方的可樂果 (Kola Nut)。
可口可樂公司是美國唯一被允許能夠合法進口可卡葉的企業。1922 年當美國禁止進口可卡因的時候,只有可口可樂公司被允許成為例外。這個謎團直到八O年代晚期紐約時報揭發之後才水落石出。
這個星期,可口可樂公司如何獲取可卡原料及在哪裡加工從政府官員及參與藥物研究的科學家訪問中被透露出來。位於伊利諾州的 Stepan Company 即是進口商及加工廠商。在 Stepan Company 承認他們與可口可樂公司的關係之後,可口可樂公司也證實了具體運作的細節。
在與可口可樂亞特蘭大總部的一名發言人通話訪談時,他表示:「可樂中確實含有可卡葉的成分,但是卻不含可卡因,一切皆經過監管單位的嚴格監督。」 (1988.7.1 New York Times)
Stepan Company 在美國毒品管制局 (DEA) 的特殊許可下,每年皆進口大約 100 噸的可卡葉。可卡因即是從這些可卡葉萃取而來,但是可口可樂公司卻否認可樂中含有這種成分,那麼可卡因究竟去向如何呢?答案是出售 給 Mallinckrodt Incorporated 這家企業。
Mallinckrodt 不僅取得所有可口可樂公司進口的可卡因,還從印度進口鴉片,並且購買從大麻萃取而來的 THC (四氫大麻酚) 成分。由此看來,只要能夠和可口可樂等大公司合作,並且和監管單位打好關係,不管多少可卡因、鴉片或大麻,都能隨意取得。
Mallinckrodt 拿這些可卡因及鴉片要做什麼呢?官方的解釋是「醫療用途」。但是依照計算,300 公克的可卡葉大約可以製造 1 公克的精製可卡因,因此每年 100 噸的可卡葉大約就能夠製造出將近 333 公斤的可卡因。
如此一來又有一個問題:Mallinckrodt 每年需要 300 多公斤的可卡因做什麼呢?除非「醫療用途」的定義非常廣泛,否則實在很難想像醫療用途如何需要用到 300 多公斤的可卡因。
繼續再將 333 公斤的可卡因以公克計算就是 333,000 公克,如果將這些可卡因分成一般吸食的份量 (每份大約 50 至 75 毫克,或等同於大約 1/20 公克),一公克的可卡因可分成多達 20 份。於是,每年進口到美國的 100 噸可卡葉,最後竟然可以製造出高達 666 萬份可供吸食的可卡因。另外依據維基百科的資料,333,000 公克的可卡因價格大約是 1670 萬美元 (每公克 50 美元)。
這麼一來,在美國將 333,000 公克的可卡因用作「醫療用途」的可信度又更低了。到底這麼大量的可卡因要如何用作醫療用途呢?即使到診所去看醫生也不可能拿到開立可卡因的處方籤,不是嗎?
因此可卡因的去向就只剩下三種可能:
1)      Mallinckrodt 每年都將大量的可卡因儲存起來
2)      Mallinckrodt 每年都負責銷燬大量的可卡因
3)      Mallinckrodt 也許不明可卡因的去向
或是說,這些可卡因都被偷偷提供給有毒癮的醫師和藥劑師?由於長時間的工作,許多醫療人員必須藉由毒品才能維持精神。666 萬份的可卡因足以使一大堆醫療人員嗨翻天,因此開更多高利潤的處方止痛藥或精神病藥物,使每個人都染上毒癮。

事實上在整個二十世紀裡,包括默克 (Merck) 、派克戴維斯 (Parke-Davis) 和施貴寶 (Squibb) 等藥廠巨擘都曾製造過可卡因;默克一度還支配著可卡因市場。對他們來說賣什麼不是最重要的,賺得到錢才是重點。

FDA 批准藥物缺乏有效證明

FDA 批准藥物缺乏有效證明



消費者不斷被藥商灌輸新藥上市要經過繁雜檢驗程序的觀念,畢竟,人們都覺得這些藥物一定得經過嚴格的安全把關才能允許上市;但事實上,近來的研究指出,藥物的檢驗及核准制度早已亮起警示燈號。

例如在過去十年內核准上市的新處方藥物,大約只有半數的產品檢附完整的數據資料,但是美國食品及藥物管理局 (FDA) 卻讓資料不完整的產品也全數過關。
這些有問題的資料即是所謂的比較效益數據 (Comparative Effectiveness Data),對於決定是否應該核准藥物上市是很重要的依據。根據醫學研究院的敘述,比較效益數據是指將替代療法對於預防、診斷、治療及觀察臨床症狀或是改 善護理療程的利弊與該藥物進行比較之後所獲得的綜合數據。換句話說就是分析新的藥物在治療過程當中是否更有效、更安全,或是潛藏更多危險。
藥物的比較效益數據對於醫師作決定特別重要,因為藥物在經過核准上市之後,醫師即必須決定是否要以新的藥物進行治療。然而大藥廠將藥物上市視為優先,醫生便循著藥廠和 FDA 所言開藥,新的藥物經過一段時間之後才會有實際的使用報告,副作用才為人所知。
新的藥物首度上市的時候也經常缺乏各種療法的直接比較實驗數據。比較效益在衛生保健方面所扮演的角色日趨重要,但是藥物上市時我們卻在這方面所知甚少。而且實際上這並不是沒錢的問題,美國國會在 2009 年的時候即編列了 11 億美元的預算進行比較效益的研究。
研究中,研究人員調查了最近經過 FDA 核准上市的藥物附含比較效益數據的比例,他們還透過 FDA 在 2000 年至 2010 年期間核准的藥物商品線上資料庫 (NMEs) 檢驗這些信息經過時間還有多少可用性。
結果他們發現 197  項藥品中,通過核准上市的在當時大約只有一半附有比較效益數據。同時另一項研究也指出:某些大藥廠的藥物在安全性及效益方面缺乏相關的證明數據。
由哈佛大學及加州大學舊金山分校共同合作的研究即發現,用以治療躁鬱症的強效藥物 Aripiprazole 的使用證明僅來自一項實驗,而且還指出這項實驗有個主要限制;甚至這項設計糟糕的實驗還是由製造 Aripiprazole 的藥廠贊助的。即便如此,FDA 也沒有停止核准危險的藥物上市,這樣的檢驗及核准制度,令人憂心。
