reference, which of course had nothing to do with the motions of pre- cession or nutation already well known at the time. He also showed, probably most importantly of all, that the weight varies. He explained how these variations are the result of a significant differential in the passage (density) of time, of which he said that it is rarer near any cause and denser near any effect. In other words, the experimental facts indeed suggest the existence of what Kozyrev called density of time, a kind of intrinsic temporal viscosity rate. However, the Russian did not go so far as to talk about time dimen- sion. He mentioned only the singular property of time. It should be noted that Kozyrev briefly iterated telepathy to illustrate this property. What is bothersome in his writings, though, is that his three principle axioms are based on the strict causality he emphasized in his conclusion. He seemed to set aside the quantum-mechanical uncertainty relations while giving priority to the constant C, to link up the smallest possible quantity of space (x) and the smallest possible quantity of time (t): C, = dx/ot We now know that quantum behavior transgresses the causality principles of classical mechanics. Kozyrev had based his interpretative structure on a minimum causality (C,). However, even he admitted: “In atomic mechanics C, = 0. The equations (6), obtained by refining principles of Newtonian mechanics, are approximate and do not pro- vide for the critical transition to C, = 0. They simply indicate that addi- tional effects unforeseen by Newtonian mechanics will take up a very important part. Causality becomes completely intertwined (fuzzy) and the events of nature remain to be explained statistically... Newtonian mechanics equals a world with infinitely stable causality relations, whereas atomic mechanics represents another critical case of a world with infinitely weak causality relations...For instance, we can expect the manifestation of quantum effects in macroscopic mechanics...” This last stage is the very foundation of paranormal phenomena and UFOs: the manifestation of quantum effects in macroscopic 1 solared o data yo ws tum mechanics, then what is causality? The principle of the exclusion of a third possibility once again suf- fers a heavy blow. According to this principle, the causal relation either is or is not. This means that the relation is determined by the conscious- ness that observes it, in other words on our point of view. Let us return to the credo: is the coincidence of statistical mechanics causal? 170 The Science of Extraterrestrials: UFOs Explained at Last * Eric Julien mechanics!
