Why reality must be stranger than fiction?
Bottom up process refer to how our mind construct the abstract representation of reality by using the information gather from basic sense like lightness, tone, shape and movement of stimulus. For instance, to see the sum total of all basic components of letter A as the A in the alaphbeta. Top Bottom process refer to the process of inferring the stimulus should have present by using one's understanding and theories/hypothesis of how Physical reality operate.
何以現實一定比小說更離奇?
小說和現實的分別,因此在於前者只利用了也「由上層向下層過程」而後者卻同時是「由上層向下層過程」和「由下層向上層過程」的交流而成。

地磁的來由假說
把這個原理應用在地球上,我的推想是地球核心有不少流動而含鐵離子的岩漿,一層層地繞箸地心轉動,由於液體黏力(viscosity)的緣故,所以最近地心這一層最快,距離地心愈遠就愈慢,所以每一層以地心為軸作旋轉運動的岩漿於轉動得最遲的地表而言都是向相反的方向作旋轉運動,所以層層累積的效應就形成了地磁南北極。
要驗証這假說,只要量度地球磁場強度是如何隨箸與地心距離愈少而減弱﹐是否合乎岩漿流動的相對速度及含鐵量,理論上當然是愈近地心,地磁愈來愈弱;另一個推論就是地磁應和地球自轉的方向有關,想像一個於真空旋轉的液體行星,要是沒有外來的力距,它的最外層會先向一個方向旋轉,慢慢遲下來再向另一方向旋轉,如此類推,但是由於能量守恆,旋轉的角動量必然愈來愈低,所以過往地球應有無數次地磁逆轉及地磁減弱的記錄,即地表剛誕生時應為最強,之後隨箸岩漿冷卻和凝固,相對旋轉運動愈來愈遲,最後完全凝固時失去地磁。
忘了最近寫這篇提出的新証據去證明地磁是和岩漿流動的流動模式有關,因為地球的南北磁極是每年都同步移動的,如果是由固態磁性物體而形成就解釋不了,而用地電的流動也有點牽強,所以我提出的假說最合乎目前已知的事實,只是人類目前的科技不足以驗明或否定我的假說。

世俗主義在香港的兩個面向
而令宗教在香港產生巨大的吸引力的,是香港奉行世俗主義者中另一些我不太認同的假設,它和平庸主義、功利主義和犬儒主義似乎是掛了勾。某些世俗主義者不以為世上有不犯錯的聖人,沒有在道德上是完美的,因此每個人便不用追求道德上的無暇,既然道德上無聖人,行為/思想亦不用完美,進而嘲笑這些在生活上/思想上追求完美的人,成為犬儒主義者,亦因此人人都是差不多的。因為他們以為世上沒有神聖的東西,或是終極的價值,因此所有人只應追求所有人都看得到,及所有人都以為是值得追求的,既然無聖人,自然亦不會有智者,因此我的想法不可能比其他人更真,我不可能比其他人聰明,變成平庸主義者。以此來論,理想主義本身是荒謬的,因為世上根本沒有理想的事業、沒有理想的愛情、更不會有理想的世界,把一生都放在不存在的東西上面,會不會是和宗教者追逐天堂一樣無聊和無意義呢?因此世俗主義者只追求看得的,凡是理想都是太遙遠了,因此香港成了一個失去理想的憧憬、對未來的熱情的社會,因為再多十年、廿年、百年,世界不會有本質的分別!
(這當然和香港政治現況有關,另文再談。)

The nature of Prophecy
So prophecy, in a sense, is how the future affect the present in such a way to instantiate itself. And it should consider to be more than merely information, because it also contain an psychological effect on the reader, thus it could seen as a self-recursive loop much like the universe.
I don't believe in the assumption that any n instance of possible outcome must share equal probability. Nature is seldom that fair, and it often biased toward certain direction of development in subtle ways. Those, we could theoretically separate the real prophecy from other ‘false’ prophecy by comparing the process which they come to realize themselves through existing social-political structure through possible reader. We could examine through the route of how prophecy realize itself.
For a superficial instance, there are prophecy talking about Communist China become the most powerful country in the world, and there are those who talk the exactly opposite way. We could thus examine the validity through its effect on the reader. Assume what Communist China lack at the time of surfacing of this prophecy is just morale and self-confidence, then this prophecy has higher chance to be realize than sooth-saying ones via itself psychological effect. On the other hand, if what Communist China now is suffering from delusion of grandeur, overconfidence and arrogance at the moment it appears, then this prophecy meme has lower chance of materialize itself since it harm its own cause . From this understanding, I consider the prophecy of ‘Doomsday for Communist China’ has more chance to be realized.

Real Estate industry and Narcissism in Hong Kong
The increasing number of citizen develop Narcissistic personality is correlated to the booming of Real Estate industry in Hong Kong. As Real Estate produce more, it need to increase the demand. The consequence of this marketing strategy: ‘Everyone must have one apartment’, thus encouraging the tendency of Narcissistic personality, thereby resulted in increase number of Narcissistic personality found in general population in Hong Kong.

The question on spiraling tunnel
Is that since a spiraling tunnel take longer time for fluid to descend from the top, does it absorb more gravitational energy as a result? Compare water falling downhill directly and water falling through a spiraling tunnel, which of them would have higher velocity at their common ground? If we accept the classic gravitational field theory, we could assert that since gravitational field is conservative field, it doesn’t matter which path does an object took from one potentiality to another potentiality. However, if we consider the possibility that gravity could be quantized, then the path it took affect the gain of kinetic energy from gravity, it do so by changing the amount of time the object to reach one level of potentiality to another level of potentiality. Ideally speaking, if we can ignore air friction, then we can use this experiment to find out the exact timing of gravitational field.
理性文明的必然結果:極端宗教?
我的假說是有一種叫理性絕望的心理狀態,聰明的人會比愚蠢的人更容易落入這種心理狀態,因為他們看到現代社會雖云以理性為基礎,所作所為不一定合乎理性, 而理性只可以用來排除不合理的思想/行為,卻不能告訴他們什麼是真理。聰明的人比愚蠢更需要真理,卻無法在現代文明社會中找到真理,帶來強烈的絕望感,結 果,反而相信一些自號擁有真理的人,因為這些人完全相信自己的極端宗教,他們可以給他信心,最後終於找到真理,離開理性絕望,變成狂熱者 (frantic)。歸根究底,因為現代社會制度令人和大自然疏離,而理性思維結果又導致理性絕望,所以寧願相信任何事,都比什麼都不相信的好!

How to beat Lenz's Law in electromagnetic induction?
Lenz's Law is what cost kinetic energy to move the rotor in a Generator, namely electromagnetic coil resist any change on it by producing an electromagnetic field that opposite change. In the setting of transformer, it is what cost Primary energy.
In the Taoist philosophy, we heard of the idea of give-in to the demand in order to avoid the effect demand. Applied that in the case of Lenz's Law, to fight the Lenz's Law we would have to pretend that we give in to Lenz's Law: That we vary the V-I of Primary in the same way that the electromagnetic coil as it respond to a constant electrical current, we should thus expect ‘the enemy of enemy is our friend’. Therefore logic dictate that when vary the electrical current in this fashion, Lenz's Law is aiding the flow of electrical current instead of retarding it. i.e. We should have negative inductance when we applied the electrical current vary indirectly against time in the function of natural exponential function(or vary as though that time is flowing backward, to be technical.)
How does the classical electromagnetism explain this when extra energy is entering into the electromagnetic coil due to the variation of electrical current itself? (negative time* negative energy=positive energy?) Where does this extra energy coming from? Is that, in a sense, how the variation of electrical current of the Primary resonance with the natural parameter of Primary coil? What happen if we applied this variation to a traditional transformer?

PMM machine powered by gravity?
This is intended more as a dilemma for classic Fluid Dynamic theory than as a working model for PMM. But in my mind, I think it is more like to construct a PMM using principle of fluid dynamic.

My thoughts on a thought experiment
The thought experiment I am referring is proposed by euler in here. It challenge the very idea of energy conservation in the process of electrical generation. Since we often think of generation of electricity using induced magnetic flux change in electromagnetic coil is a conversion process, which kinetic energy of the process of creating the magnetic flux change is converted into electrical energy. That experiment intended to prove otherwise.
My thought here is on how to improve that experiment with respect to the technicalities of that experiment. One technicality is the timing for turning on and off the electromagnetic coils: In case which the extra kinetic energy from the repulsion between the coil and swinging magnet would merely slow down the approach of the swinging magnet; in other case which that kinetic energy is helping to push swinging magnet downward. My suggestion is to use multiple independent electromagnetic coils arranged in a n*n square with only one end to face the poles approaching swinging magnet. This is applying Euler’s Coil’s principle to increase the strength of repulsion force, thus the kinetic energy given by the electrical generation process. Theoretically, that would decrease the time needed for the electromagnetic coil to be switched on.
My another design suggestion is instead of placing one electromagnetic coil at the highest point which the swinging magnet reach, we can place many electromagnetic coil along the rim of the circle(i.e. the trajectory of the swinging magnet). Only when the swinging magnet reach certain height then we activate those electromagnetic coils, what we intended to achieve here is the vector sum of all repelling forces from the electromagnetic coil has the effect of pushing the magnet upward in its original direction of motion. Then the electromagnetic coils are immediately shut off. Now, if the timing is excellent, we should have the swinging magnet has more kinetic energy after electrical energy is generated. That would pose more difficulties to the view that electrical generation is an energy conversion process, and allow us more choice to interact with the movement of the swinging magnet along its pathway.
My last design suggestion is to connect the electromagnetic coils in the left and right using even/odd number of independent electromagnetic coil. The purpose is to create a pull effect on one side of the swinging magnet and a push effect on the other side of the swinging magnet, thus increase the reactionary kinetic energy of the swinging magnet when it is nearest to the electromagnetic coil. Thus, in theory, the swinging magnet would swing indefinitely.
In either cases of my improvement, the law of conservation of energy in electrical generation is violated if we accept the notion that generation of electricity is an energy conversion process.
It doesn’t matter the technicalities of each suggestions as long as there exists cases against this law.

From euler: Summary of Euler's Coil Technology
(Looks like Tesla Coil to me, it appears to me that many innovation now are only a renovation of past innovation from genius like Nicola Tesla. How backward is humanity still struggling with technology 50 years ago! This topic is worth exploring. It is also interesting that the implementations and experiments don't correspond closely with the theory. I will write a better one later.)
Theory: http://eulertruthbible.wordpress.com/2008/06/25/the-idea-of-eulers-coil-technology/
Consider n electromagnetic coils arranged in a circle with end to end. One electromagnetic coil is connected with A.C, and all other electromagnetic coils are switched on(i.e. Maximum electrical current). The is the source electromagnetic coil, and other are receiving electromagnetic coils. How is the mutual inductance of the system as a whole varies as n changes?
In the case of n=2, one can imagine that when one end of the source electromagnetic coil is induced to polarize in the direction of N, and the other end of the source electromagnetic coil is induced to polarize in the direction of S. Now it is obviously the one end of other electromagnetic coil would be induced to polarize in the direction of N and the other end would polarize in the direction of S. Thus, in a sense, the receiving electromagnetic coil added to the ‘ease’ of the source electromagnetic coil. We thus expect the mutual inductance of the system as a whole to be lower than individual electromagnetic coil.
In the case of n=3. For the sake of description, we assume that source electromagnetic coil is in the middle. Suppose the left end of the source electromagnetic coil polarize in the direction of S, and the right end of the source electromagnetic coil polarize in the direction of N. From the perspective of the induction from the source electromagnetic coil, the right end of the left electromagnetic coil polarize in the direction of S, and the left end of the right electromagnetic coil polarize in the direction of N. Due to the virtue of construction of electromagnetic coil, the two end of the same electromagnetic coil must be of opposite magnetic polarity. Therefore we suppose the left end of the left electromagnetic coil should polarize in the direction of N, and the right end of the right electromagnetic coil should polarize in the direction of S. However, since these two end are next to each other, from the perspective of mutual induction between the left electromagnetic coil and the right electromagnetic coil MUST be of the same magnetic polarity. Therefore we arrive in a contradiction between two induction tendency, which cancel each other out. Thus, we expect an mutual inductance of the whole system to be infinite, therefore it is impossible to magnetize the source electromagnetic coil. (The whole situation change, however, when we place an ferromagnetic metal bar to connect the left end of the left electromagnetic coil and the right end of the right electromagnetic coil.)
In the case of n=4. For the sake of description, we assume that source electromagnetic coil is in the leftmost. Suppose the left end of the source electromagnetic coil polarize in the direction of S, and the right end of the source electromagnetic coil polarize in the direction of N. From the perspective of the induction from the source electromagnetic coil, the left end of the 1st electromagnetic coil polarize in the direction of N, and the right end of the 1st electromagnetic coil polarize in the direction of S. The left end of the 2nd electromagnetic coil polarize in the direction of S, and the right end of the 1st electromagnetic coil polarize in the direction of N. For the 3rd electromagnetic coil, the left end polarize in the direction of N, and the right end of the 1st electromagnetic coil polarize in the direction of S. Notice that is of the same magnetic polarity as the left end of the source electromagnetic coil. Thus the mutual induction effect from the source electromagnetic coil produce the same direction of change in magnetic polarity as from the interaction from the pairs of receiving electromagnetic coils nearest to each other. The net effect is the mutual inductions of individual pairs of receiving electromagnetic coils added to each other. Thus we expect the mutual inductance of the system as a whole must be lower than we place all electromagnetic coils parallel to each other(as in a transformer.)
We can generalize the result to all cases which n is even. The mutual inductances of the system as a whole drop below the average. However when n is odd, the mutual inductances of the system as a whole goes up throw the roof. The gist of all of them: The configuration and arrangement of electromagnetic coils would alter the mutual inductance of the system as a whole that is not linearly related to the electromagnetic coil's natural inductances.
Could we get extra electrical energy by the virtue of how we arranged the electromagnetic coils? Is there exists particular configurations of electromagnetic coil that would increase and decrease the mutual inductance of the system as a whole? Could we use this method to maximize the chance of two electromagnetic coils resonance with each other? Could we use this method to alter the pattern of variation of the mutual inductance of the system as a whole to produce extra electromagnetic energy?
Yes, Euler think so. This would be a solution to the energy crisis. Science just doesn’t explore these instance of electromagnetic system because that may require a major modification of the laws in classic electromagnetic.

Complex and Complexity
By Complex, I refer to the complex that could be verified by experiment, of the type first suggested by Freud, then Carl Jung and others. This thought I just come up today: Complex is formed in relationship with event that elicit strong emotional reaction to the subject, could complex be formed by the nature of complexity of the emotional reactions, or the nature of the incident itself? What I mean by complexity is that when the complexity is below certain threshold, just like the inorganic structure which can’t sustain itself for long, and dissipate as a simple energy structure; while the complexity is above certain threshold, just like the organic structure which is built for self-sustainability, could maintain itself in the psyche much like life in the Physical world.
i.e. Complex is formed because of the nature of complexity of the emotional reactions, which we can apply the theory of complexity from Physics to Psychology.

Sex and Psychic power
From differential to hypothesis on Gravity and Electromagnetism
Now if we apply the same line of thinking in gravity and electromagnetism, we notice that they are both decreased with the square of distance. And the reciprocal of them follow the same patterns as the 2-th power of consecutive length. Thus, in a sense, the external irregularity of their reciprocal of strength of them are themselves a manifestation of hidden regularity. Moreover, if we use the term differential space for the differential of any functions, then we notice that the differential space of the reciprocal of strength of them is linear and directly proportional to distance. Therefore, in the differential space of the reciprocal gravity and electromagnetism, they are directly related to the distance from the sources. This relationship is only distorted because the gravity and electromagnetism only lives in space of space, it has only effect on motion of motion but not motion itself. In a sense it is like force that it has only Secondary Effect on motion. I could hypothesis it is only because Space has differentiated to Secondary Space so gravity and electromagnetism has an effect.
Notice we have been talking about is the reciprocal of strength of Gravity and Electromagnetism, i.e. The lack of Gravity and Electromagnetism strength is somehow a linear phenomena directly proportional to distance. That must related to the nature of space-time itself. It is like space-time provide a mechanism to prevent the spread of Gravity and Electromagnetism field that is linear in its nature.
Assumed that Gravity and Electromagnetism strength is indeed a consequence of Differential Space, then what happen if we reverse the process of differentiation to reveal its Primary? By integrating the Gravity and Electromagnetism strength twice, we arrived at the natural logarithm. Thus we could said the irregularity of variation of strength of Gravity and Electromagnetism is a resulted from the differential Space of originally regular. So why is Gravity and Electromagnetism field strength is originally logarithmic?
