A New Year Gift

TGD is now a very precisely formulated mathematical theory making testable physical predictions: consider as an example only predictions for LHC described in one of the earlier postings. Experimental support from various anomalies is accumulating steadily. The last example was the finding of Martin Grusenick providing additional evidence for the deviations of gravitation in the nearby regions of massive objects from those of Einstein's and Newton's theories. TGD explains the deviation and the explanation led to a further understanding concerning the interpretation of quantum TGD. I had excellent reasons for writing a summary about the developments taken place in TGD during the last year.

I had to give up this plan for a very practical reason. First some background. Virus terror has become more and more painful nuisance during years. Two years ago a friend of friend who is a computer professional saved the situation and also found that there is a computer in Helsinki region bombarding my IP address very intensively. Difficulties began again for about year ago. Only a half year ago I had to stop MATLAB calculations when the program went simply mad. This was the first time when my invisible enemy really forced me to give up a project.

Terror has had also other forms. I am continually updating the .tex files associated with the chapters of the 15 online books at my home page. One especially nasty form of terror has been the replacement of updated tex files with old versions: a very effective manner to destroy my credibility! That this happens is revealed by the fact that I have done some updatings during years such as the replacement of manual lists with automatic ones. Suddenly the file is from the time before the operation (even two years in past!) or from the period of updating so that latex translation stops to an error situation when '\end{enumerate}' or something like that which must be added during updating manually is lacking. There has been also a continual cat and mouse game with files. pdf files mysteriously disappear or the names of tex files are permuted.

The endless testing and comparison to see whether the file at home page is what it is meant to be is alone a horrible stressor. I suffer a blood pressure disease and I must tell that this continual terror has become a real life danger (I tell this with a tiny childish hope that the persons behind this activity might read this, might not be total psychopaths, and might feel mercy towards the poor old man).

In New Year Day my invisible enemy managed to make a real breakthough. Difficulties began at Friday and situation became gradually worse. First WinEdt failed to compile tex to pdf. It took two days to find a solution to the problem. Later it became also impossible to print the pdf files and load them from web. I reinstalled WinEdt, MikTex, Adobe Reader. No help. I changed the firewall program to Norton and learned that many of the program folders of the earlier firewall program were empty. After the re-installation the problems seemed to absent. But the happiness did not last longer than one hour.

Yesterday I learned about Free Registry Fix a program that finds and fixes damaged registers. It found roughly 1000 of them and I thought that the situation was cured. As I sat at the computer this morning I found that problems had returned. I run Free Registry Fix for 4 times under various conditions and found that same number (about hundred) damaged registers appears during the run as is found by it so that the situation is hopeless. From this experiment I can however firmly conclude that the virus damages registers always when computer is on irrespective of whether there are net connections. Virus is tailor made as I have suspected from the beginning. Good to know that I am definitely not a paranoid!

Who could be behind this terror? Ordinary firewall programs detect nothing and the activity is so precisely directed to prevent my work with TGD that a random hacker is probably not in question. A computer professional receiving his salary from computerized violence is a more plausible guess. I have no infrastructure supporting me so that I am an easy prey. I have only some friends who try to help. At this moment the change the operating system to Mac seems to be the only hope to get over the situation. This however costs and I have no money! And I do not of course know how long it takes for my enemy to find his way to the operating system of Mac.

A computer professional tailoring the needed viruses probably takes this only as a interesting programming challenge. The question is who could have the motivation for hiring him. I have been for 32 years a victim of academic terror based on the misuse of academic authority and the question is what could serve as the motivation for initiating a much more concrete terror making my working conditions completely intolerable. What could have induced this last step?

The situation in theoretical physics has become extremely critical. No colleague in his right mind can deny that TGD satisfies the basic criteria for a respectable candidate for a unified theory. Everyone also knows the sad situation of super string models and M-theory - basically the outcome of the silencing of the bottleneck idea that served as the starting point of TGD for 32 years ago and published already around 1982, two years before the super string revolution. It is only a matter of time when the breakthrough of TGD comes since no one can fight endlessly against experimental facts. From the point of view of big audience the breakthrough would be not only a sensation but also a scandal. The treatment that I have received in Finland during these decades is simply something totally incredible taking into account that Finland is a country where cannibalism is criminalized and literacy per cent is quite high. The breakthrough can be postponed by a censorship and blackmailing and trying to make my working conditions completely intolerable. And I would not be totally surprised if some of the fellow human beings with common interests (inducing this little nasty green feeling) would want just a revenge.

So: who is the payer? I do not propose any answer. I just tell what happens and the possible motivations. Reader can use his own heart and brains and facts about the history of science. Also hints for how to get over the hopeless looking situation are well-come.
