The present correspondence is an epistemological investigative dialogue between Ernie Shapiro and Pierre Beaudry on the German-born American scientist, Walter M. Elsasser, who is the father of the current Dynamo Theory of the Earth’s electromagnetic field.

This correspondence, which was mostly developed during the year 2018, represents a series of provocative hypothesis about the science of biology and on the geometrical principle that underlies living processes.

Ernie and I have decided to make this exchange of ideas public because it might provoke some interest among other researchers who are also involved in the investigation of discoveries of principle.

The present period is so much a LaRouche time that you can cut it with a knife; and, what amazes me the most about it is that the truth of what Lyn has been saying for the last 60 years is now coming out: “IT’S THE BRITISH STUPID!” How did he know that? How can you make the difference between what is true and what is fake?

Lyn always stressed the need to investigate your mind first and foremost because if you try to understand anything else first, you might not be able to burst the bubble you are living in; and you may never know how you can get to become a real human being. However, the reason why you may not become a real human being is because you don’t try to know what you don’t know you know.

What does it mean to be optimistic? Does it mean that everything is possible? For example, is it possible to have, as Leibniz said, a coincidence between reason and power as opposed to a coincidence between money and power? Wow! That’s a total impossible contradiction, because this would imply that mankind is capable of achieving a state of happiness without being fixated on money. And everybody knows that is impossible. Or is it? How can anyone be optimistic when confronted with such impossibilities? Benoit Odille from Solidarité & Progrès has a humorous answer to such a question.

I AM IMMORTAL

Stop searching for me, I’ll always be here.
I’m still as the sea, whisp’ring in your ear:
Don’t fear the West Wind, which turned in a blow
The page of this day that brought you sorrow.
I am still with you, in all of your days,
Ev’ry step you take, I’m with you always.

I am with the Lord, the Beacon of light;
I am the counsel who wakes you at night.
Add to your lyre my Lydian string,
You’ll hear the future and see it coming.
Why so many tears, don’t you understand?
I’m immortal and I’m guiding your hand.

In addition to being a fist class scientist André-Marie Ampère was also a first class philosopher, and especially an epistemologist of exceptional talent. Although he became famous for his groundbreaking work in electromagnetism, he has today remained virtually unknown as a philosopher. I will focus, here, on his less known work in epistemology ; that is, on the revolutionary method of investigating his classification of human knowledge, a method which he called “cautious probing” (tâtonnement) aimed at harmonizing interacting relationships between opposites, something similar to the coincidence of opposites in Nicholas of Cusa or the change of voice register in Bel Canto singing.
