7. Knowledge and traditionalism

Scientific knowledge is based on sensory perceptions. The main criteria of scientific knowledge are the ability to reproduce the results of experiments that form the empirical basis of a given scientific discipline, and the ability to explain the accumulated facts in the system of concepts of this science. If a theory is considered true, then all facts that do not fit into its framework are treated as "anti-scientific fiction".

Supersensory knowledge obtained through intuitive perception plays no less a role in people's lives than knowledge obtained through ordinary sense organs.

Supersensible knowledge can come either through the subconscious, and then, as a rule, they give an idea of the lower, that is, the infernal regions of Being, or through the superconscious, then they give an idea of the Worlds of Enlightenment. Supersensible information often comes in figurative, allegorical form and requires appropriate interpretation.

Higher Knowledge includes both "sensory" and "supersensory" knowledge. Higher Knowledge gives an understanding of the essence of the Universe, reveals the multidimensionality of the Universe, the place in it of humanity as a whole and each person individually, unites science, philosophy and religion with a system of common concepts and images.

Interpretations of the origin of the Highest Knowledge and the emergence of religions in various esoteric teachings essentially differ little from each other. According to esotericism, the Highest Knowledge ascends to a single source and is given to man at the beginning of the cosmic Cycle.

Traditionalism is an esoteric teaching based on the Primordial (Primordial) Tradition, which refers to the comprehensive knowledge given to man by the Creator at the beginning of the cosmic Cycle. According to traditionalism, the world develops cyclically and in each cycle humanity goes from the "golden" to the "iron" age, from Satyayug to Kaliyug, from complete perfection to complete decline.

The essence of traditionalism is as follows. The fundamental principle of true metaphysics is the principle of the Unity of Truth. From this Unity comes the hierarchical subordination of various forms of its manifestation, that is, the truths of a particular order. This hierarchy, as it moves away from the One Truth, descends lower and lower, down to lies and delusion. Humanity, representing only a part of the Reality, is the image of the whole Reality. This means that in the human world there is both the One Truth and its secondary forms.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

Energy from space for Starship 08.05.2024

Producing solar energy in space is becoming more feasible with the advent of new technologies and the development of space programs. The head of the startup Virtus Solis shared his vision of using SpaceX's Starship to create orbital power plants capable of powering the Earth. Startup Virtus Solis has unveiled an ambitious project to create orbital power plants using SpaceX's Starship. This idea could significantly change the field of solar energy production, making it more accessible and cheaper. The core of the startup's plan is to reduce the cost of launching satellites into space using Starship. This technological breakthrough is expected to make solar energy production in space more competitive with traditional energy sources. Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>

New RECOM pulse converters with increased output current 09.04.2021

RECOM has increased the rated output current range of RPMH non-isolated switching products from 0,5A to 1,5A while maintaining their dimensions thanks to 3D Power Packaging technology. The new high efficiency converters are available in miniature packages measuring 12,19 x 12,19 x 3,75 mm and have output voltages of 3,3; 5; 12; 15 and 24 V adjustable. The input voltage is up to 60V and the operating temperature can reach 100°C or even higher at reduced power.

The converters have the functions of remote control of turning on and off, regulation of the output voltage and monitoring its level, as well as protection against short circuit at the output, overcurrent and overvoltage. The series complies with EN55032 class B EMC requirements when using an external filter.

RECOM's 3D Power Packaging technology has placed the RPMH-1.5 in a 25-pin LGA package with hex shielding to optimize EMC and thermal performance. The RPMH-1.5-EVM-1 development board is available to test the performance and all functions of the converters.

A threefold increase in the output current of the converters greatly expands the range of their use, in addition, a wide input voltage range up to 60 V is especially valuable in systems with a power supply of 48 V and in on-board automotive equipment, where power surges can occur.
