THE COMING REVOLUTION IN U.S. NAVAL STRATEGY

James Holmes

October 27, 2015

The Chief of Naval Operations, John Richardson, winged his way to Newport around the beginning of the month to discuss maritime strategy with the Naval War College (NWC) teaching and research faculty and generally hobnob with students, staff and faculty. Which is fitting: the Navy’s top uniformed officer should tarry at its intellectual seat from time to time—gleaning such strategic and operational insight as we ivory-tower dwellers alongside the Narragansett Bay can supply.

ANGRY CHINA FOLLOWED U.S.WARSHIP NEAR ARTIFICIAL ISLAND IN DISPUTED SEA

The US Navy guided-missile destroyer USS Lassen sails in the Pacific Ocean in a November 2009 photo provided by the U.S. Navy. The U.S. Navy sent a guided-missile destroyer within 12 nautical miles of artificial islands built by China in the South China Sea on October 27, a U.S. defense official said, in a challenge to China's territorial claims in the area.

The U.S. Navy sent a guided-missile destroyer close to China's man-made islands in the disputed South China Sea on Tuesday, drawing an angry rebuke from Beijing, which said it warned and followed the American vessel.

ARE SCIENTIFIC RESEARCHERS TOO INFLUENCED BY CORPORATIONS ?

We like to think academic researchers are motivated purely by the desire to make progress in the fields of science and medicine. But a new report published Tuesday finds that as many as 1 in 10 board positions at for-profit health care companies are held by researchers affiliated with a nonprofit or academic institution. While there aren’t any national guidelines set up to prevent these relationships, researchers and other experts say the overlap amounts to a huge conflict of interest and has the potential to influence academic work.

TRUE, GENERAL RELATIVITY IS WRONG

New Release

Einstein’s prediction of light deflection could not be tested immediately in 1915, because the First World War was in progress, and it was not until 1919 that a British expedition, observing an eclipse from West Africa, showed that light was indeed deflected by the sun, just as predicted by the theory. This proof of a German theory by British scientists was hailed as a great act of reconciliation between the two countries after the war. It is ionic, therefore, that later examination of the photographs taken on that expedition showed the errors were as great as the effect they were trying to measure. Their measurement had been sheer luck, or a case of knowing the result they wanted to get, not an uncommon occurrence in science.(Stephen Hawking, A Brief History of Time, 1985).

The tests of General Relativity as suggested by Einstein : the photo taken to the stars at the time when the sun was dark during the solar eclipse was compared to the photo of the same stars taken “at another time’. The words ‘at another time’ means proposal suggested by Einstein is not at all scientific, the reasons are explained by the following pictures.

Figure 1

Figure 2

Figure 1 is two stars portrait taken by an observer from point A in the earth at a time, and Figure 2 is the same portrait of two star, taken by the same observer from point B in the earth ‘at another time‘ eg two months later. Point A located in Europe, while the point B located in the Africa continent, the two point  has a big different of the latitude and longitude.

    The two sightings of  stars will always be different because point A and B has its own Celestial Sphere. The Celestial Sphere is only applicable at a certain time and at a certain place on which such observation is performed. Therefore, the two portraits can not be compared.

    And again ..... the two portraits is the appearance of Apparent Position of the two stars, not the the True Position. Therefore,  from the two portraits could not be use to calculate the angular difference between True Position and Apparent Position of stars that becomes the object of observation.

Conclusions: The tests / proving method on the theory on general relativity as requested by its founder, Albert Einstein, is unjustifiable from scientific point of view of the astronomy. In addition, a hypothesis stating that the light is bent by gravity of massive object ignores the existence of light refraction (Snell’s Law). 

   If a scientist conveys a theory and at the same time shows its proving method, however after being tested by another scientist it is found out that his proposed proving method is proven to be unable to be performed due to not being scientific, then automatically such proposed theory prematurely falls by itself. And the proving cannot be  carried out by other methods not  as requested by the theory founder, since it is reasonably assumed that such proving is made based on belief.

    The general relativity theory has been wrong since the beginning. True, general relativity theory is wrong.

STEPHEN HAWKING: THERE ARE NO BLACK HOLE

The defining characteristic of a black hole may have to give, if the two pillars of modern physics — general relativity and quantum theory — are both correct.

Einstein ignored light refraction: astronomical refraction and terrestrial refraction, when he proposed the proving method for general relativity.Click to read more Kindle Edition

Di dalam buku ' A Brief history of time.pdf ' Stephen Hawking menulis yang intinya menyatakan bahwa teori Black Holes yang dicetuskannya keliru jika nantinya terbukti teori relativitas umum (general relativity) itu salah. Teori relativitas umum yang bertahan selama hampir satu abad sejak dicetuskan oleh Einstein pada tahun 1916, dan selalu menimbulkan kontroversi, sekarang semakin jelas kelirunya.

Einstein mengabaikan adanya refraksi cahaya ( light refraction ). Pembelokan cahaya bintang yang melewati medan gravitasi matahari bukan disebabkan karena pengaruh medan gravitasi matahari sesuai hipothesisnya dalam teori relativitas umum, melainkan disebabkan karena refraksi cahaya.  Jika cahaya tidak dipengaruhi oleh gravitasi, maka black hole adalah sesuatu yang tidak mungkin terjadi. Dengan kata lain, singularitas yang diprediksi oleh Einstein tidak akan pernah terjadi ...................

Light deflection is not caused by gravity, but by refraction.

In astronomy, the deflection of light is something very common, and not caused by gravity field of a massive object, but it occurs due to  the light refraction: astronomical refraction and terrestrial refraction . ( astrobasik )

Notion of an 'event horizon', from which nothing can escape, is incompatible with quantum theory, physicist claims.

CHINA’S MASTER PLAN TO THWART AMERICAN DOMINANCE IN ASIA

And it's using India and Russia to its advantage.

Nikolas K.Gvosdes

July 11, 2015

One of China’s overriding strategic goals is to thwart the U.S. rebalance of attention and resources to the Asia-Pacific region. At the twin summits of the Brazil-Russia-India-China-South Africa forum (BRICS) and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) in Ufa, Russia, President Xi Jinping presented the outlines of the triple approach that Beijing will utilize.

DILEMA STRATEGI MARITIM CHINA DI LAUT CHINA SELATAN

Pada bulan Desember 2012 pemerintah provinsi Hainan di Selatan mengeluarkan peraturan yang membolehkan kapal-kapal Coast Guard China menghentikan dan menaiki kapal-kapal asing yang memasuki perairan yang diklaimnya dan mengharuskan mereka ke luar dari situ. Kapal perang China juga pernah bersitegang dengan kapal perang India, di Laut China Selatan, di mana China mengancam akan menutup perusahaan minyak India yang melakukan explorasi di Vietnam. Beberapa kejadian di atas mengisyaratkan betapa China konsisten dengan Forward Policy nya, sehingga banyak pengamat ingin menganalisis bagaimana strategi maritimnya di Laut China Selatan.

  

PROF.HOWARD WISEMAN : EINSTEIN WAS WRONG

Einstein was WRONG: 'Spooky' quantum experiment shows that the measurement of a photon affects its location

• Previous experiments have shown entanglement with two particles 
• But this is the first  to show the entanglement of a photon with itself
• The study reveals how when a light photon is observed it changes state
• Einstein didn't believe this could happen as it violates theory of relativity

SAUDI ARABIA LAUNCHES MILITARY OPERATIONS IN YEMEN

ADEN/WASHINGTON, March 26 (Reuters) - Saudi Arabia announced on Wednesday it had launched military operations in Yemen, carrying out air strikes in coordination with a 10-country coalition seeking to beat back Houthi militia forces besieging the southern city of Aden where the country's president had taken refuge.

CAN CONGRESS STOP CHINA IN THE SOUTH CHINA SEA ?

A bipartisan effort is emerging to highlight dangerous trends in Asia—and specifically in the South China Sea. But will Obama listen?

Harry J. Kazianis

March 22, 2015

The balance of power in Asia is changing—and not in Washington’s favor.

No longer can the United States count on simply massing forces Gulf War I style and quickly coming to the aid of its allies if combat ever commenced on the Korean peninsula, in the East China Sea, around Taiwan or in the South China Sea—all thanks to China’s massive military buildup and growing anti-access/area-denial capabilities. The Obama Administration is quick to point out America is “pivoting” or “rebalancing” to Asia—maybe one of the most “sticky” foreign policy slogans in the last twenty five years. But catchphrases can’t change the facts and many would argue the pivot remains only a slogan when we take a hard look at facts on the ground. China is not only altering the status quo on land but on the water, in the sky, in space, and maybe even in cyberspace too.

NAVY RELEASES REVISED MARITIME STRATEGY

  

  Release Date: 3/13/2015

From the Navy Chief of Information Office

WASHINGTON (NNS) -- The sea services released a new maritime strategy, March 13, a plan that describes how the Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard will design, organize, and employ naval forces in support of national security interests and homeland security objectives.

CHINA'S UNDERSEA FLEET

Vice Admiral Joseph Mulloy: China's undersea fleet has surpassed that of the US

China is very quick to put new types of arms into service. Currently, China outnumbers the United States in terms of nuclear and diesel-powered submarines, US Vice Admiral Joseph Mulloy said. Although, he added, the quality of Chinese submarines is still inferior to American ones.

THE FUNDAMENTALS OF COMMANDS,STRATEGY,TACTICS,AND LOGISTICS

    Command has the responsibility to create combat forces, to support combat forces, and to employ combat forces. Strategy is the comprehensive directions of all elements of power to control situations and areas in order to attain objectives. Tactics is the immediate employment of specific forces and weapons to attain the specific objectives determined by strategy. Logistics is the creation and sustained support of weapons and combat forces to be tactically employed to attain strategic objectives.

DENNIS DREW & DON SNOW: WHAT IS DOCTRINE ?

Sun Tzu and Naval Strategy 

Doctrine should be continually re-examined and improved. This, of course, is one of the important features of operations analysis ( Henry E.Eccles,Rear Admiral,Military Concepts and Philosophy,1965 )

Military Concepts and Philosophy

INFLUENCES on the strategy process are both numerous and important. Most are relatively well known and understood because they are similar to the influences that affect almost any political decision. This chapter, however, deals with an influence peculiar to national security strategy decisions—military doctrine. A detailed examination of doctrine is in order for at least two reasons. Doctrine has, or should have, an extraordinary impact on the strategy process, and doctrine is an ill-defined, poorly understood, and often confusing subject in spite of its considerable importance.

KONSEP KEBAHAGIAAN

KEBAHAGIAAN

    Semua orang mendambakan kebahagiaan, tetapi tidak semua orang memahami apa sebenarnya kebahagiaan itu.  Jika kebahagiaan diibaratkan sebagai suatu benda yang memiliki bentuk, ukuran dan warna tertentu, maka setiap orang yang mendambakan kebahagiaan harus mengenali benda tersebut sebelum berusaha mencari dan menemukannya untuk dimiliki.  Jika mereka belum mengenali benda tersebut, tentu saja pencariannya akan sia-sia belaka. Untuk mengenali kebahagiaan yang diibaratkan sebagai suatu benda tersebut diperlukan penjelasan, atau katakanlah suatu teori tentang kebahagiaan.

While some point to a grand bargain between China and Japan over disputed territory in the East China Sea, such a deal might simply be unfair to Japan—as it holds the superior claim. 

HOW AMERICA BECAME THE WORLD’S MOST ANXIOUS COUNTRY

salon.com

Sociologists who measure anxiety levels of entire nations have concluded that the US is, by far, the most anxious nation on Earth. About one in three Americans can be expected to suffer anxiety at some point in their lifetime, compared with one in four Colombians, who occupy the second world-anxiety slot. Curiously, nations where people face more basic struggles in life, like securing clean water to drink, are markedly less anxious than Americans. 'According to the 2002 World Mental Health Survey, people in developing-world countries such as Nigeria are up to five times less likely to show clinically significant anxiety levels than Americans.'
