Anthony Marr's OMNISCIENTIFIC COSMOLOGY

.

On the Omniscientific Cosmology it is written:

.

University of California, Berkeley

Biology, Professor Richard W. Holms: “I have listened to a presentation by Anthony S. Marr. His synthesis of ideas from a remarkably broad perspective of sciences truly deserves the name OMNI-SCIENCE. His presentation was precise and clear, and I believe he would be an effective speaker for groups at varying levels of expertise…This is a person of great depth who speaks and writes both with confidence and ease. I am happy to recommend him as a speaker and a writer..”

Astronomy and Physics, Professor Marc Davis: “As one who actually specializes in cosmology as a research endeavour, I was at first very skeptical that Mr. Marr would be yet another crackpot of the type that seems to congregate in this field. However, after only a few minutes of listening to his explanation of his viewpoint, my fears were allayed…His ultimate goal appears to be to provide a forward-looking moral framework for progress in human social evolution, one that is consistent with empirical science and which is not based on historical writings…and important contribution to society….”

Anthropology, Professor Tim White: “I have not seen a draft of the book, but I can say that after spending a few hours with Mr. Marr, I am very much looking forward to reading it….Mr. Marr is an exceedingly unique individual. I have never crossed paths with such a person. He is very serious, very dedicated, and very polished in his presentation…The care with which he his proceeded is commendable…his synthesis is formidable….”

Paleontology, Professor Carole S. Hickman: “(Anthony Marr’s work) deserves the attention of serious scholars…an extraordinary intellectual undertaking…a unique framework…both intellectually and aesthetically stimulating…a bold and eclectic piece of scholarship that is, above all, refreshingly honest….His clarity of expression is exceptional. His logical consistency is a delight. The aesthetic quality of the model, in particular his attention to symmetry, provides a dimension that is appealing but sadly lacking in much of Western thought and tradition. The optimism, concern and compassion for humanity that are expressed in the application of the model to human behavior likewise commands attention….”

Zoology, Professor Richard C. Strohman: “His views and thinking are quite original…a thoroughly logical system…might indeed fill a large gap in the way we think about evolutionary connections between ourselves and our world. I sincerely encourage you to listen to Mr. Marr. And I have one suggestion. His presentation is quite detailed and covers very large areas. My thought is that he and his listeners would all do much better in a small seminar setting so that there would be a symmetry between his own very wide knowledge and the ability for him to obtain meaningful feedback..”

Botany, Professor Herbert G. Baker: “…an extremely interesting experience…worthy of the attention of a wide variety of persons. If he writes as clearly and understandably as his oral communication, the book should be an important contribution towards understanding cosmology..”

Paleontology, Professor Donald E. Savage: “Professors and scientists at the universities of British Columbia, Washington, Oregon and California, to date, have each spent two hours or more listening to the powerful presentation of Anthony Marr of his erudite synthesis of scientific, philosophic and sociologic theory: OMNI-SCIENCE, A New Theory of Cosmology. I can add nothing to the praise that has been heaped upon Mr. Marr and his ideas by these men, and I endorse their statements with reservation. Now is the time for Mr. Marr’s ideas to be published, for the scientific world and general public should become aware of his synthesis..”

.

Institute of Human Origins, Berkeley Dr. William Kimbel, President: “I have recently had the great pleasure of listening to Anthony Marr describe the results of his thinking on cosmology. “Owing to the large number of half-baked ‘pop’ theories on cosmology currently in circulation, I admit that I faced the prospect of my meeting with Mr. Marr with some trepidation. “From the outset, however, it was clear that Mr. Marr is no amateur populariser. On the contrary, he is a dedicated scholar whose theories, I believe, make a profound contribution to the fundamental definition of humankind in relation to the broader universe. “Although Mr. Marr has an uphill battle ahead of him, I firmly believe that his ideas deserve very serious consideration by a wide audience. Not only do they unify the fragmented Western scientific disciplines, but they have implications of great depth and breadth for the future course of human actions. In the current atmosphere of censorship and anti-intellectualism, Mr. Marr’s concept of OMNI-SCIENCE is too important to ignore.”

.

Stanford University

.

Sociology, Professor Alex Inkeles: “Recently Mr. Anthony Marr persuaded me to give him an hour of my time, all I could spare in that cycle of my calendar, and at that it had to be at the end of a busy day. This obliged Mr. Marr, as he told me, to adopt a different style of presentation than the one he usually used, one much more compressed and involving a more top-down approach instead of his usual inductive procedure. Despite these handicaps, Mr. Marr managed to impress me not only with the quality of his presentation, but also the quality of his thinking. The range of his knowledge is broad, and for something so broad seems impressively authoritative. At the heart of his approach is a conception of all living and indeed nonliving matter as organized in systems, and this gave him a considerable edge with me since my own propensity is to think in system terms… exceptionally comprehensive….”

Philosophy, Professor John Dupre: “A few days ago, I had a lengthy discussion with Mr. Anthony Marr about his philosophical ideas. I can certainly confirm the impressions gained by the various other scholars who have written on his behalf. Marr is a highly intelligent, thoughtful man who has evidently acquired a thorough knowledge of the impressively broad range of topics over which his ideas range. As we were talking, I asked him all the difficult questions that occurred to me as he was outlining his ideas. He was always very quick to get the point, and had intelligent and relevant responses. I was very impressed with his various intellectual accomplishments. “Though his ideas are extremely intriguing and provocative, I must confess to having considerable skepticism about his project which he did not altogether dispel. However, I very much doubt whether anyone could dispel this skepticism, and certainly not in two hours. I am not convinced, that is to say, that a systematic view of the scope that Marr attempts is really an intelligible project. However, there is no doubt that such projects will be forthcoming, and such a system informed by Mr. Marr’s deep and thorough understanding of the current state of scientific theory will undoubtedly be incomparably more edifying than the vast majority of such attempts, whether religiously based, or grounded on superficial impressions of science. Indeed, I am open to being convinced that such a project will address a pressing social need: if people insist on adopting comprehensive cosmological systems, then I would certainly encourage them to try his. I certainly share his concern about the dangers of many contemporary religious, especially fundamentalist, cosmologies.. “One thing, then I would say without any qualification is that I would strongly encourage any publisher to accept his book. I have not read the manuscript, but assuming, as I have no reason to doubt, that Marr is as articulate, clear and cogent on paper as he is in person, his system would make fascinating reading, and would, I suspect, attract a large audience….”

Applied Physics and Astrophysics, Professor Vahe Petrosian: “… elaborate… clearly well thought out and researched…I was fascinated by his novel ideas in this very ambitious task…a beautiful synthesis…what I heard was captivating and should be of interest not only to experts but to all thinking people of the world…will find a wide and interested audience….”

Anthropology, Professor John W. Rick: “… very thought provoking…an integrative scheme capable of making sense out of a wide variety of natural science knowledge, which at the same time reaches out to philosophy and epistemology…clearly deserves extensive discussion…a serious, well-founded vision, not the product of trivial or eccentric thought. My feeling is that he deserves attention and his ideas should be published. I would recommend that those who have the time listen and argue over his presentation. One should not underestimate the time this may take, however, since his model covers a broad expanse of knowledge. I would think that his presentation would be an ideal forum in an academic department where a group of faculty and graduate students could take time to thoroughly examine his proposition….”

Physics, Professor Leonard Susskind: “…the cosmic significance of life and evolution. Although this is not exactly my ‘meat’, I thoroughly enjoyed the two hours…I found myself stimulated, educated…His ideas are worth listening to, even for those of us who are not of the same philosophical bent….”

Philosophy, Professor John Bogart: “I spent 3.5 hours with Mr. Anthony Marr…held my attention for the entire period…has plainly synthesized a great deal of information in a number of distinct disciplines…organized it into an interesting and coherent whole…compelling…intended to have moral import…can be cast into a form of interest to moral philosophy…would be of interest to a wide audience….”

Geology, Professor W.R. Evitt: “I agree wholeheartedly…about his sincerity, imagination, intellectualism and scholarship. This afternoon was for me a unique and stimulating experience. In a highly logical series of simple steps, he developed a comprehensive concept of the interrelations and interdependence of all things…an immensely logical construct…should be accessible and acceptable to persons with a wide range of cultural, social, scientific and philosophical sophistications… meticulously thought out, with great care, to making his thesis externally consistent with the facts of science as currently perceived, and internally consistent in the interrelationships among its arguments…majestic in scope but intrinsically simple, satisfying and optimistic…should have a very broad appeal…These are important ideas with great potential for lessening the conflicts in a troubled world….”

Interview with Anthony Marr on Anti-whaling & HOPE-GEO. - Anthony Marr

Anthony Marr has been speaking at the National Animal Rights Conference (www.ARConference.org) since 2004. Here is his plenary speech on Human Overpopulation at AR2007.

In the AR2008 conference, Anthony Marr gave 13 speeches, one of which was to introduce super-soprano Sharon Christman who sang The Impossible Dream during the awards dinner. Listen and be amazed.

In 2009, Anthony Marr, founder and president of Heal Our Planet Earth (HOPE - www.HOPE-CARE.org), will launch a new major campaign titled "RUNAWAY GLOBAL WARMING WORLD TOUR", by means of an 85-mpg motorcycle. It will entail him to travel through upwards of 30 nations in 6 continents - N. America (3), Europe (~15), Africa (2), Asia (~6), Oz/NZ (2), S/C America (~5), itinerary being planned.

Dear friends,

True to the name of "Heal-Our-Planet-Earth's Global-Emergencey-Operation" (HOPE-GEO), HOPE founder and president Anthony Marr and his terrific HOPE-GEO team (all volunteer) will execute the following in 2009.

1. What is potentially 10,000X more destructive than all the nuclear weapons in the world combined? The Methane Time-Bomb, one with a short Carbon-Dioxide Fuse. Yet, google "methane" and you get next to nothing; posting a video with the tag word "methane" and you get next to zero hits. In 2009, HOPE-GEO will launch a series of YouTube videos which, employing a new tactic, will likely capture hundreds of thousands if not millions of hits. This must be achieved by any means conceivable, because the message is ultra-urgent, to which, as we speak, the whole world is complacently oblivious. RUNAWAY GLOBAL WARMING HAS BEGUN because of escalating methane release in the high Arctic due to global warming by carbon dioxide (CO2), and we are still talking about continuing to burn fossil fuel and biofuel well past 2050, when a new born babe today will be 42 years old. Methane (CH4) is far more powerful a greenhouse gas than CO2 and can generate its own feedback loop - more methane releasing even more methane. Once this feedback loop takes hold, the increase will be exponential, and runaway global warming will unfold. The beginning of runaway global warming is when the atmospheric concentration of methane begins to increase at this point of global warming, which it has begun to do as of 2007, the very year when the Arctic suffered a 50% loss of sea ice. The Arctic tipping point has tipped, and the other tipping points will follow. Unless our species as a whole takes decisive action to change course fundamentally within three years (and this is being generous), RUNAWAY GLOBAL WARMING will take firm hold, and nothing we do after that will make any difference. Unless our species accepts this very inconvenient truth, and act upon it promptly, we will follow a trajectory of global environmental destruction, which we ourselves cannot survive. In global warming, CO2 is only the fuse; CH4 is the bomb. But when we mention the Methane Time-Bomb, we get mostly a blank if not skeptical look. Now, trying googling "2012" and see what you get. You will find videos galore each with hundreds of thousands if not millions of hits. If December 21, 2012 does mean the End of the World, these aficionados of prophecies have no clue as to the agent of destruction - the Methane Time-Bomb with a slow explosion lasting decades towards a hellish end. If Runaway Global Warming is allowed to run its course, i.e., if all the methane currently sequestered in solid form on land and in the oceans is gassified, the Earth would become a second Venus; the surface temperature of Venus is 420 degrees Celsius; the great physicist Stephen Hawking has spoken of this concern. Right now, the whole world is talking about the fuse, but is unaware of the bomb, and that is within months of the bomb going off irrevocably. So we will tap "methane" into "2012" where it belongs, and launch our new videos accordingly. The first of these videos will debut by February 2009.

2. I will expand the script of the videos into a new book tentatively titled "Defusing the METHANE TIME-BOMB" - to be co-authored again with Dr. Peter Carter (co-author of my second book "Homo Sapiens! SAVE YOUR EARTH"), projected publication date - June 1, 2009, in time for #3 (next item).

3. From June 10 to December 6 (almost 6 months), Anthony will execute a campaign tour of the USA and Canada by the most fuel efficient vehicle available at this time capable of meeting this long-distance challenge, an 85 mpg vehicle. There are one or two extremely expensive electric cars in existence (e.g. the Tesla - $100,000) equal to this task, but the electricity used for powering the car would likely come from coal, and some from nuclear, meaning that electricity is not truly clean unless it is generated from solar, wind, geothermal, wave or tidal. The vehicle chosen for this tour is a 2005 Kawasaki Ninja ZZR 250 motorcycle with only 3,000 km on the odometer and a larger-than-stock front sprocket for maxmum fuel efficiency - the best campaign vehicle for this task given what is available today - generously donated by Dr. Carter himself. This North America tour will be the first leg of a world tour to be completed by the year 2011. Other motorcyclists, notably Ted Somon, Ewan McGregor (the young Obi Wan Kenobi) and Charley Boorman, have ridden around the world - under much tougher road conditions than those within Anthony's plan, but while these were done as adventures, this one is the first world-tour-by-bike to be executed for a cause, which is what makes Anthony's endeavor unique, a first in history, and should attract global media attention, bearing in mind that the three key words for campaign success are media, media and media. So, the bike, more than anything, is a media tool, for propagating our urgent message worldwide.

4. HOPE-GEO will organize three large motorcycle rallies for when Anthony arrives in Los Angeles (for the 2009 Animal Rights Conference - probably mid-July, date not yet fixed), New York City (in September) and Washington DC (in October) the second to converge upon the UN Plaza, and the third upon Capital Hill. Motorcyclists love riding enough to go riding without a cause. We believe they will come to CA, NY and DC from far and wide, for saving our children and all life on Earth from a potentially horrible fate.

It is to be borne in mind that the U.N. Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen scheduled for December 2009, the successor of the Kyoto Accord due to expire in 2012, is our last collective kick in the climate-change can within the narrow 3-year window which may or may not even exist. It is make it or break it time, and up until now, all the Copenhagen conference news seems to suggest that it will be addressing the CO2 fuse only, and not the CH4 bomb. We must inject methane into their august agenda, and this is what the above 4 items are all about.

Anthony will need support in EVERY CITY in the itinerary. If there is no support in a certain city, he will bypass that city and spend more time at others.

This support includes:

~ volunteer for the HOPE-GEO team (please email Anthony at Anthony-Marr@HOPE-CARE.org or Anthony_Marr@yahoo.com, or call 604-222-1169) in both organizing the our, and supporting the tour once it begins.

~ ORGANIZE A LOCAL RIDE: local motorcyclists coming out to ride with Anthony, either escorting him into town, or out of town, both being media events. Do you ride? Or know anyone who rides?

~ MEDIA COVERAGE: help with arranging local media coverage

~ SPEAKING EVENTS: host an Anthony Marr speaking event (on the very evening of his arrival).

~ HOSPITALITY: a hot home-cooked vegan meal once in a while would be very appreciated (otherwise it'd be restaurant food all the way)

~ LODGING: a warm bed for the night

~ DONATIONS: financial donations are of course always needed. Note: Anthony Marr himself, like the rest of the HOPE-GEO team members, is not paid. So every donation dollar goes into the campaign.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

Episode #1: On July 1, 2008, Anthony Marr, founder of Heal Our Planet Earth (HOPE), embarked on his 40-states-in-5-months Compassion for Animals Road Expedition #6 (CARE-6 - www.HOPE-CARE.org). His first stop was the hellish Alberta Tar Sands. With him as second photographer on this leg of his tour was co-author Taina Ketola of his second book [ Homo Sapiens! SAVE YOUR EARTH ]. They photo/video-documented this first leg of CARE-6, including a ground tour of the odoriferous Suncor Mine, and a 2 hour flight over 6 mines including a forced-landing-by-thunder-storm into the Albion Mine airport. While Anthony was driving, Taina interviewed him on various aspects of global warming and his work for the planet and its magnificent creatures, with questions that occurred to her at the time. These topics are not in any particular order, but altogether, they do paint a fairly comprehensive picture of the Global Ecological Emergency, and should convince the viewers that Runaway Global Heating may already have begun, and the Alberta tar sands mines must be shut down immediately or sooner, once and for all time. "Journey through Paradise into Hell" will be a fairly long series.comprising perhaps a dozen episodes. The episodes will be uploaded one by one over a number of days. SEE - FEEL - THINK - ACT! ps - A small quantity of gasoline was consumed to make this film, but sometimes, you have to "spend a little to make a lot". Besides, who killed the EV1?

The MEANING of LIFE according to Anthony Marr

.

Fellow cosmic travelers who are on this planet at this its critical juncture for the purpose of participating in saving it - and have fun doing so (take a hint from the laughing baby below)! And I would like to meet that 4-year-old drummer boy (see "Favorite Videos" under "Videos") to see if I could recruit him to set the pace for our movement (meaning - we are too darn slow!), and I would like to meet the 6-year-old Rubik whiz kid to see if he could help solve some of the huge problems we face. And of course I would love to meet you if you are going to the AR Conference in Los Angeles, July 16-20, 2009. www.ARConference.org

This lovable human child lives on this planet Earth. He doesn't know it, but he is heading for deep trouble, problems caused by us, and can only be solved by us. His life is in our hands.

Laughing baby...HILARIOUS!!!

The same applies to all animals and plants, today and in the future, including this kitten, this fawn, this rabbit, and their progeny.

The following is the greatest threat against this child and these marvelous creatures, and billions of their peers, today and for centuries to come.

Before anything else, if there is just one video you will see this year, this should be the one. I am not placing it on top for no reason. When you see it, you will see why. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC, upon whose recommendations the world governments form their environmental and energy policies) has produced computer-model-based predictions even whose worst case scenario has proven gross underestimations of reality (e.g. Arctic ice melt rate). The reason is that sophisticated as IPCC computer-modeling may appear, it is in fact over-simplistic in the extreme, in that the most crucial issues - RUNAWAY Global Heating by METHANE, plus many important feedback loops (e.g. carbon and albedo) - have been all but ignored. Watch this video and you will see not a computer model but what ACTUALLY HAPPENED in the past, which we are about to repeat by our own hands. Decide for yourself what is best for your own children, and all life on Earth. Junk the "Don't worry, be happy" crap. Be worried, be very worried. - Your devoted friend, Anthony Marr

THE END-PERMIAN MASS EXTINCTION 251 MILLION YEARS AGO IN WHICH 85+% OF ALL SPECIES WERE DRIVEN TO EXTINCTION - BY METHANE - AND WE ARE ABOUT TO DO THE SAME, ARTIFICIALLY THIS TIME. DON'T!

Add to My Profile | More Videos

The following video, by National Geographic, titled Catastrophic Climate Change, speaks for itself, the Earth, and species Homo sapiens who caused it, is still causing it, and has hardly begun to solve it.

Over the last 500 million years, the Earth underwent 5 major mass extinction events, 4 of which caused by global warming. This video shows the Permian Mass Extinction 250 million years ago, the 3rd of the 5, which wiped out over 90% of the species of the time. We are now facing the 6th Mass Extinction Event, also caused by global warming, except this time, the global warming is not an "act of God", but an act of Man - the species Homo sapiens - us.

1 degree warmer – Arctic summers ice-free (and permafrost melting begins, releasing methane into the atmosphere)

2 Degrees Warmer: Marine Life At Risk! (e.g. with ocean acidification undermining coral skeleton formation and temperature impacting negatively on plankton)

3 Degrees Warmer: Heat Wave Fatalities (and the desiccation of the Amazon)

4 Degrees Warmer: Great Cities Wash Away (IMHO, when it comes to 4 degrees warmer, cities being washed away will be the least of the problems.)

5 Degrees Warmer: Civilization Collapses (IMHO civilization will collapse well before 5 degrees warmer, perhaps as little as 2 degrees warmer.)

6 Degrees Warmer: Mass Extinction? (Mass extinction is occurring NOW, at a speed much faster than expected; by mass extinction at 6-degrees-warmer, we are referring to over 85% extinction.)
