The Nature of Nature by Irving Dardik: book review


 


 

The Nature of Nature: The Discovery of SuperWaves and How it Changes Everything (2017) starts with the author asking readers to suspend incredulity to read his beliefs on SuperWaves. He says SuperWaves is a discovery to tell us what nature is, not a philosophy of nature. He offers readers ‘a new understanding of the steps we must take to understand nature.’ 

 

Part 1 underpins the way we think about nature. He discusses the idea that nature is a ‘whole’ made up of ‘parts’ – in our understanding of the Original Theory of Everything. Part 2 describes the basis of the Puzzle Hypothesis. Part 3 discusses today’s understanding of nature, although it is difficult and complex to understand. It discusses the commonality between science and nature – i.e. waves. 

 

Part 4 begins with the author’s view, and how he came to recognize ‘the heartwave, a phenomen of waves changing together, simultaneously, across scales.’ He moves from the cellular, biochemical, and molecular behavior levels to the quantum realm. He writes about what we must do to protect our personal health and the health of the environment – clean energy. Part 5 is a call to action. 

 

Irving Dardik takes a long time to explain the past, before he gets to the present – and his view. He writes of a mathematical perspective: ‘Mathematics has no equal as a clutter-free language for describing patterns in parts of nature.’ But does mathematics work where there is high variability? The author come from the opposite direction – based on his personal experience ‘with a biological organism and, in particular, its rhythms.’ And, at this point, he discusses exercise and recovery – ‘exercise and recovery is a wave.’ He is talking about motion. Then he discusses celllar motion. 

 

In discussing nature, the author’s points become even more interesting: temperatures, climate zones, cooperation and conflict, collective synchronization, etc. 

 

This is a fascinating look at nature, that looks at everything from quantum physic to thermodynamics, to the origins of health and disease, and the linkage between personal health and the health of the environment.

Flaws in the Glass, a self-portrait by Patrick White: book review

The manuscript, Flaws in the Glass (1981), is Patrick Victor Martindale White’s autobiography. White, born in 1912 in England, migrated to Sydney, Australia, when he was six months old. For three years, at the age of 20, he studied French and German literature at King’s College at the University of Cambridge in England. Throughout his life, he published 12 novels. In 1957 he won the inaugural Miles Franklin Literary Award for Voss, published in 1956. In 1961, Riders in the Chariot became a best-seller, winning the Miles Franklin Literary Award. In 1973, he was the first Australian author to be awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature for The Eye of the Storm, despite many critics describing his works as ‘un-Australian’ and himself as ‘Australia’s most unreadable novelist.’ In 1979, The Twyborn Affair was short-listed for the Booker Prize, but he withdrew it from the competition to give younger writers the opportunity to win the award. His autobiography, Flaws in the Glass

Sister cities discussed: Canberra and Islamabad

Two months ago, in March 2015, Australia and Pakistan agreed to explore ways to deepen ties. The relationship between Australia and Pakistan has been strong for decades, and the two countries continue to keep dialogues open. The annual bilateral discussions were held in Australia in March to continue engagements on a wide range of matters of mutual interest. The Pakistan delegation discussed points of interest will include sports, agriculture, economic growth, trade, border protection, business, and education. The possible twinning of the cities of Canberra, the capital of Australia, and Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan, were also on the agenda (i.e. called twin towns or sister cities). Sister City relationships are twinning arrangements that build friendships as well as government, business, culture, and community linkages. Canberra currently has international Sister City relationships with Beijing in China and Nara in Japan. One example of existing
