Patru romane de literatura publicate de Gabriel Vacariu:
1. Viața lui G. (Editura Litera 2019): Eroul „învie” după un accident grav, începând să se dedubleze în creațiile lui filosofice și științifice, dar și în Geamanu’ său.
2. Domnul G. între Infern și Paradis (Editura Revistei Timpul 2024): Eroul nostru își continuă viața pe Pământ, femeia devine complementară cu creațiile lui. Fiind cel care a mușcat cel mai mult din mărul cunoasterii, domnul G. are o discuție cu Diavolul și respectiv cu Dumnezeu.
3. Domnul G. pe Creasta Balaurului (Editura Revistei Timpul 2024): Ca pedeapsă pentru creațiile sale, domnul G. va avea de suportat o călătorie întunecată în Infern, care seîn încheie cu dedublarea eroului în Diavol.
4. Domnul G. în Turnul Babel (Editura Revistei Timpul 2024): Domnul G. ajunge și în Paradis, printre marii nemuritori (marii creatori) din Fizică, Filosofie, Literatură și Religie. El are discuții foarte controversate cu aceștia și, deși teoria lui neagă existența lui Dumnezeu, domnul G. încearcă să se dedubleze în Dumnezeu. Ceilalți creatori, dar și oamenii în general, nu pot accepta așa ceva; drept urmare, dl. G. va fi pedepsit.

[My four NOVELS (Romanian language) with Mr. G.:

  1. “G.’s life” (Editura Litera 2019)
  2. “Mr. G. between Inferno and Paradise” (Editura Revistei Timpul 2024)
  3. “Mr. G. on the Crest of the Dragon” (Editura Revistei Timpul 2024)
  4. “Mr. G. in Tower of Babel” (Editura Revistei Timpul 2024)

[5. “Mr. G. in Hypernothing” – not written yet]

Each novel/story can be read without the need to read the others. However, between all these four novels/stories there is a hyper-link:

  1. Mr. G. resurrects after a very serious accident; then, he “doubles” (a) in his philosophical and scientific (physics and cognitive neuroscience) creations (b) in his twin brother.
  2. Mr. G. continues his life on Earth. He continues identifying with his philosophical and scientific approaches, but he doubles (in a complementary way) in women. Moreover, being the greatest creator on Earth until now (biting mostly from the apple of knowledge), Mr. G. tries to talk to Devil and God.
  3. Because of his philosophical approach and tis applications in different sciences, Mr. G. is sent to Inferno. He has a very dark adventure in “underground” which end, in the end, with his doubling in Devil.
  4. Mr. G. reaches the Paradise among the greatest immortal creators (Physics, Philosophy, Literature, Religion), but because of his philosophical paradigm, he has great disputes with all these immortals. Even if, his paradigm denies the existence of God, Mr. G. tries something paradoxically: he doubles in God, he tries to take God’s place. All other great immortals and humans in general cannot accept this fact. Therefore, Mr. G. is punished by them.]

Cadrul teoretic în interiorul căruia vom analiza câteva dintre cele mai importante opere de artă create de Tarkovski, Wong, Puiu şi Brâncuşi este circumscris de cele trei concepte care alcătuiesc, în fapt, și titlul volumului de față: „Fiinţă”, „dedublare” şi „eterna reîntoarcere”. Privindu-le, inevitabil, prin filtrul subiectivității, vom tatona cu acest prilej terenul semnificațiilor pe care acestea le pot purta.
În această lucrare, vom analiza:

  • Capitol 1: Ultimele trei filme ale marelui regizor rus, Andrei Tarkovski: Călăuza, Nostalghia şi Sacrificiul. Vom discuta despre „eterna reîntoarcere” la regizorul rus (în opoziţie cu Friedrich Nietzsche, cel care a declarat oficial, în secolul al XIX-lea, că „Dumnezeu a murit” şi în relaţie cu scrierea lui Mircea Eliade pe această temă).
  • Capitolul 2: Două filme ale lui Wong Karwai, In the mood for love şi 2046, ideea principală pe care o urmărim fiind „singurătatea/ alienarea individului” dată de lipsa de iubire în In the mood for love (scene din film) şi 2046
  • Capitolul 3: Cristi Puiu şi filmul său, Sieranevada (cel mai bun film românesc); considerăm că regizorul Cristi Puiu a surprins foarte bine lipsa de „identitate la români” în acest film extraordinar.
  • Capitolul 4: Constantin Brâncuşi şi Ansamblul de la Târgu Jiu (pe care noi îl considerăm cea mai mare operă de artă din istoria umanităţii). Sculptorul roman a încercat, prin creaţiile sale, să atingă „adevărul absolut” şi o reîntoarcere (măcar aparentă) la Paradisul pierdut cândva prin crearea de opere de artă care redau „esenţa/adevărul”. Brâncuşi a fost credincios, deci, până la urmă, „adevărul absolut” era, pentru el, chiar Dumnezeu. Dar şi alţi artişti (Andrei Tarkovski şi Cristi Puiu, de exemplu) au fost credincioşi, ca atare, şi aceştia au regăsit „adevărul absolut” în „credinţa” pe care o aveau în „existenţa lui Dumnezeu”.

I call this book Hypermetaphysics just because it is not about the metaphysics of “world”/Universe, it is not even about the metaphysics of EDWs (“epistemologically different worlds”), but mainly about the hypercorrespondences between the EW0 (Hypernothing) and the EW1a-n (these EDWs being the first EDWs which appeared in hypercorrespondences to the EW0). This hypermetaphysics involves the main notion of this book: the EW0 (or the “Hypernothing”) which does not have any ontology but a hyperontology which hypercorresponded to the first EDWs that appeared in the hypercorrespondences to the EW0. „Content here”

In our previous works (an article at Synthese (USA) 2005 and a book at Springer (2015), for instance) we have replaced the empty notion of “world” or “Universe” with the “epistemologically different worlds” (EDWs) (the macro-EW, the micro-EW, the wave-EW, the mind-EW, etc.). Discovering the existence of EDWs, we introduced a new paradigm of thinking for solving great problems in Physics, Cognitive Neuroscience and Philosophy. This book refers to the metaphysics of the EDWs with a list of “principles” and a “table of categories”. We furnish more arguments why the space and time (spacetime) cannot have any ontological background. Also, we argue that the notions like “nothing”, “infinity” and “God” are just “empty concepts” (i.e., they do not denote any ontological entities that really exists)! The Metaphysics of Epistemologically Different Worlds

  • (2017) Gabriel Vacariu and Mihai Vacariu,From Hypernothing to Hyperverse: EDWs, Hypernothing, Wave and Particle, Elementary Particles, Thermodynamics, and Einstein’s Relativity Without “Spacetime”, Datagroup   Over the last two centuries, the relationship between philosophy and science has completely broken down, so the question we are confronted with is: How can we develop a new philosophy, which will influence science decisively? The physicists of the last century rejected their contemporary philosophy. They considered that “philosophy today is dead” (Hawking and Mlodinow 2010 ). However, we believe that the great scientific problems are always philosophical, and only philosophical problems. Therefore, these problems can be solved only by philosophers and scientists who operate at the greatest level of thinking: that of the “paradigm of thinking”. In fact, these great scientific problems can usually be solved by changing the “paradigm of thinking” for scientists. This book furnished more applications of the “epistemologically different worlds” (that replaced the “world”/”universe” – in their previous books (2008, 2010, 2011, etc.), the authors indicated that the notion of the world/universe is wrong). Following Aristotle’s “Prime Mover” (or the “Unmoved Mover”), we stop the regress ad infinitum by discovering the first EW, the EW0 (the Hypernothing). Even if one EW does not exist for any EDW, the Hypernothing was the first EW and all other EDWs correspond to the EW0. Chapter 2 is about the “Hypernothing”. The other chapters continue our works of applying the EDWs to different concepts/areas of Physics: quantum mechanics, elementary particles, thermodynamics (with its main notion, “entropy”), etc. In the last chapter, knowing that Einstein’s special and general theory of relativity are very correct (but in a book 2016 we showed that “spacetime” cannot ontologically exist), we re-write both theories without “spacetime”.

(Chapter 1, the non-living entities (objects) that belong to EDWs; Chapter 2, the living beings (each living being is an EW); Chapter 3, the general view of the EDWs perspective) and its main applications to the main philosophical and scientific areas: Chapter 4, philosophy of mind (Descartes’ dualism, levels, reductionism and emergence, qualia, Kant and the “I”); Chapter 5, cognitive science (computationalism and dynamical systems, declarative-procedural, accessible-inaccessible, conscious-unconscious, conceptual- sensorimotor, symbolic-subsymbolic, and explicit-implicit, levels, representations, bidirectionality, threshold etc.); Chapter 6, cognitive neuroscience (optimism and its amazing results (Gallant’s laboratory) and skepticism (Uttal, Raichle’s “default network”), the localization problem, the binding problems (the main approach, oscillations or synchrony theory), multisensory integration, perception and object recognition); Chapter 7 biology (life and the organism/cell); Chapter 8, physics (Einstein’s theory of special and general relativity, quantum mechanics (non-locality or entanglement, the measurement problem, superposition), the relationship between these two theories). In the conclusion, I will explain why I consider that scientists from cognitive (neuro)science, biology and physics need to change the framework within which they work (the unicorn world) with the new “Weltanschauung”, the EDWs perspective.

„Blurb” for a book (Lexington Books): 

The editor of Lexington Books (Rowman & Littlefield, USA) asked me for a „blurb” (advertising) of one of their book: the author: Sam Rakover (Psychology, Haifa University, Israel). There are three blurbs. See my words („blurb”) for the book at „Reviews”, this address:

https://rowman.com/ISBN/9781498536684/How-to-Explain-Behavior-A-Critical-Review-and-New-Approach

My blurb is the following one: „Knowing that Sam Rakover is a psychologist, his ‘dual methodology’ and ‘multi-explanation framework’ that appear in this book can be considered as an essential epistemological step toward an overall explanation of the realities (‘epistemological ontologies’) of mind and brain (i.e., my ‘epistemologically different worlds’ perspective).

Over the last two centuries, the relationship between philosophy and science has completely broken down, so the question we are confronted with is: How can we develop a new philosophy, which will influence science decisively? The physicists of the last century rejected their contemporary philosophy. They considered that “philosophy today is dead” (Hawking and Mlodinow 2010 ). However, we believe that the great scientific problems are always philosophical, and only philosophical problems. Therefore, these problems can be solved only by philosophers and scientists who operate at the greatest level of thinking: that of the “paradigm of thinking”. In fact, these great scientific problems can usually be solved by changing the “paradigm of thinking” for scientists.This book furnished more applications of the “epistemologically different worlds” (that replaced the “world”/”universe” – in their previous books (2008, 2010, 2011, etc.), the authors indicated that the notion of the world/universe is wrong). Following Aristotle’s “Prime Mover” (or the “Unmoved Mover”), we stop the regress ad infinitum by discovering the first EW, the EW0 (the Hypernothing). Even if one EW does not exist for any EDW, the Hypernothing was the first EW and all other EDWs correspond to the EW0. Chapter 2 is about the “Hypernothing”. The other chapters continue our works of applying the EDWs to different concepts/areas of Physics: quantum mechanics, elementary particles, thermodynamics (with its main notion, “entropy”), etc. In the last chapter, knowing that Einstein’s special and general theory of relativity are very correct (but in a book 2016 we showed that “spacetime” cannot ontologically exist), we re-write both theories without “spacetime”.

  • (2017) Gabriel Vacariu and Mihai Vacariu, Self as an Epistemological World, Datagroup-Int, S.R.L (published in Romanian in 2016)   

In this book, we furnish a completely new alternative to the notion of “self” within the perspective of “epistemologically different worlds” (EDWs). Within this new perspective about the “self”, we investigate some authors from philosophy and cognitive neuroscience like Gallagher, Zahavi, Klein, Metzinger, Dainton, Raichle, Llinas, etc. and particular related topics like the sense of agency, the rubber hand illusion, the body illusion and self versus (parts of) the brain/body, the corresponding default network, etc. According to the EDWs perspective, the “self” is an epistemologically world while the brain and the body belong to an epistemologically different world, the macro-EW (all the bodies and the macro-objects like table, chair, car, etc.). An essential principle of EDWs perspective is that an EW does not exist for any EDW. Therefore, the self (as an EW) does not exist for the brain/body (placed within the “external world”), the brain/body does not exist for the “I”. Both the self and the brain/body really exist but in EDWs.

Dark matter and dark energy. Two notions that have troubled cosmologists for a long time. Why? Because they don’t have a “satisfactory” definition, and nobody can identify the “matter” or “forces” that govern them. Currently, we can only deduce the existence of these two notions from the strange movement of the galaxies and the manner they move away from one another, with increasing speed. However, these are not the only mysteries that cosmology cannot yet explain. What happened before the Big Bang? Is the universe still expanding (cosmic inflation)? What is the relation between the theory of relativity and the laws of quantum mechanics? What if the answers to all these questions were far more accessible than researchers thought? What if the real “culprit” for their absence was in fact the framework used by cosmologists, a framework that involves the existence of space and time? With the help of the Epistemologically Different Worlds paradigm, Gabriel and Mihai Vacariu aim to offer an answer to all these questions and many others.

Where is our inner self localized? Can the complexity of the human being be reduced to a pattern of neurons? Why nobody have found solutions to the main problems (localization, the binding problem, multisensory integration, etc.) of cognitive neuroscience? Here are just a few of the questions that have been puzzling cognitive neuroscience researchers for decades. These questions, along with many others, will find no answer in this book. Why? Because the wrong questions will never yield the right answers. What Gabriel and Mihai Vacariu’s book offers is not just a way of avoiding the traps of cognitive neuroscience, but a new framework, a way for researchers and amateurs alike to finally search for the truth.

“This book is a synthesis of all our works on cognitive neuroscience since 2008 to 2015. Within the “epistemologically different worlds” perspective, we investigate the main topics of cognitive neuroscience: fMRI and EEG, localization, the binding problem, perception, multisensory integration, holism and default mode network. Our main question is “Why none of these problems has been solved after many years of research?”. Our answer is that these problems are in fact pseudo-problems. We present the optimism research (Gallant’s laboratory works, for instance) versus the skepticism framework (Uttal, for instance). “Correlation” the main notion in cognitive neuroscience, has no ontology background and there are no “laws” in this area. In this context, we conclude that, without an ontological background, cognitive neuroscience is a pseudoscience.”

FIVE BOOKS FREE below:

In this book, I points out more troubles with cognitive neuroscience: spatial cognition, the best achievements in cognitive neuroscience in the last 3 years (the fMRI experiments of Gallant’s team), multisensory integration, endogenous brain activity, default network, and the relationship between micro-neuronal level, macro-neuronal level, oscillations and cognition. In the book “Cognitive neuroscience versus epistemologically different worlds” (2012), I investigated some important problems of cognitive neuroscience. (see below) The general conclusion of these two works is that cognitive neuroscience is a pseudo-science. In the last chapter of this book (2014), with my EDWs perspective, I furnish the (hyper)ontological status of Einstein’s (special and general) theory of relativity.

    From the “epistemologically different worlds” perspective, I analyze the status of cognitive neuroscience today. I investigate the main actual topics in cognitive neuroscience: localization and the brain imaging, the binding problem (Treisman’s feature integration theory and synchronized oscillations approach), differentation and integration, optimism versus skepticism approaches, perception and object recognition, space and the mind, crossmodal interactions, and the holistic view against localization. The conclusion is that this “science” has “No ontology landscape” and, therefore, cognitive neuroscience is a pseudo-science.

    It is about the pure theoretical system of EDWs (almost without applications to any particular sciences – cognitive science, physics or biology). I constructed the conditions of the possibility for any EDWs (that exist or possible to exist) given by 13 propositions that represent the axiomatic-hyperontological framework in 13 parts. In general, these propositions refer to the abstract entities andtheir interactions. Being is the only entity that is an epistemological world. In this short book, I deal with the hyperontology of the hyperverse, no more or less than “pure philosophy”.

“Abstract: In few words, we present the main actual problems of cognitive neuroscience: the binding problem, localization, differentiation-integration in the brain, the troubles created by the brain imaging, and optimism vs. skepticism in cognitive neuroscience. Surprisingly, even if there are more and more experimental results in recent years, we notice no real hope for solving these troubles in the future. Cognitive neuroscience is a science constructed on ‘correlations’ between mental and neuronal states, mainly furnished by the brain imaging – fMRI of the last two decades. We want to suggest that “correlation” lacks any ontological background. In this context, we have to answer the following question: Is cognitive neuroscience a real science or a kind of ‘new engineering’?”

An interview (in Romanian) about my EDWs perspective with Alexandru Valentin Craciun at https://alexandruvalentincraciun.wordpress.com/2015/06/19/de-la-lumea-inorogului-la-lumile-epistemologic-diferite-dialog-cu-prof-conf-dr-gabriel-vacariu-facultatea-de-filosofie-bucuresti/ (or here: De la „Lumea inorogului” la „Lumile Epistemologic Diferite”)

People (some, famous philosophers) about my ideas + quotation of my works

William Bechtel (in 2014): “Vacariu advances a novel and challenging perspective from which to view modern sciences ranging from physics to cognitive neuroscience. At its core is the perspective of epistemologically different worlds. On Vacariu’s analysis, entities such as mental and physical phenomena, which many of us struggle to relate, do not belong to the same world-indeed, that world does not exist! This book is filled with probing discussions that will challenge nearly everyone.” [William Bechtel, Distinguished Professor Department of Philosophy, Center for Circadian Biology, and Interdisciplinary Program in Cognitive Science University of California, San Diego, USA]

John Bickle (in 2007): “This is novel and innovative work. It is philosophy in the grand synoptic style – influenced and aware of contemporary science, but not beholden to it. Epistemologically different worlds may be a tool for untying many current philosophical knots.” [John Bickle, Philosophy and Religion, Mississippi State University, USA]

Rom Harre (2007): “Gabriel Vacariu tackles a long standing assumption of Western thought – that there is only one world. Through a series of ingenious arguments the author shows that by making used of the distinctness of observational conditions, the pretensions of neuroscience to unify psychology is deeply flawed. This is a bold project and the author brings not only a high degree of philosophical sophistication to the task, but also a wide and deep knowledge of various sciences which inform his analysis of the many forms taken by the Unitarian claim.” [Rom Harre, Emeritus Fellow, Linacre College, Oxford (Great Britain) Distinguished Research Professor Georgetown University, Washington DC, USA]

Philip Cam (2007): “Here at last is the condensed version of Gabriel Vacariu’s startling view of epistemologically different worlds and its application to a range of both traditional and contemporary philosophical problems. If Vacariu is right, this work represents a Copernican shift in our understanding of what we took to be ourselves and the world about us.” [Philip Cam, Philosophy, University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia]

Ilie Parvu (2007): “The idea of epistemologically different worlds can generate a new approach not only to the mind-body problem but also to many other fields of philosophical theorizing, from general ontology to more specific problems in the philosophy of special sciences.” [Ilie Parvu, Philosophy, University of Bucharest, Romania]

William R. Uttal (in 2013): “Gabriel, personal development  like you have exhibited is the sign of a fine mind. Congratulations.” [William R. Uttal, Professor Emeritus (Engineering) at Arizona State University and Professor Emeritus (Psychology) at the University of Michigan, USA]

Heinrich Loth (2018): “I told you, you will become religious. Anyway, your philosophy have created a new religion!”

Juan Eliezer Garcia Torres (2014): “With the approach of EDWs, we (the psychiatrists) have one of the most important links between darkness and wonder (mind and brain), and empowers psychiatry in the most pure Kantian way.” (M.D. Juan Eliezer Garcia Torres, Unidad the Rehabilitacion Psiquiatrica, Instituto Tehnologico de Estudios Superiores (Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico)

Mohsen Aghaei (2016): “The epistemologically different worlds perspective will sure shake the world of science in not too distant future.” [Mohsen Aghaei, Kish Institute of Science and Technology, Tehran, Iran]

Priscilla Nocom (2017): “Hats off to Tesla n U too.” [The best complements that I have ever received!]

David Antia (2017): “I read your book it is really challenging… I want to be like you.” [Physics, University of Uyo, Nigeria]

Enrique A Carmona (in 2017):  “Hey Gabriel, I finally had the time to read some of your work and I am now able to understand it. Not an easy digestion. So, all this “controversial” problems have only been the product of a wrong framework? It is interesting though that a different framework completely changes the perception of the world.”

Godwin Victor (2017): “A Very good book!” [Theoretical Physics at California State University, Los Angeles, USA]

William Whabit (Australia, 2017): “There are only two great scientific theories of the last century–GR, short for the general relativity theory of gravity and QM, short for quantum mechanics. Indeed they both work well in their respective regimes. GR is so far our best theory of gravity, it explains the very large structure ofthe universe. QM, meanwhile, explains the odd behaviour of the very tiny particles of the smallest structure of the atom. However, they are not compatible. If they are not compatible they could be both wrong. Although it seems that statement is somewhat disappointing to the supporters of both theories, the fact is, there is one physicist who claims that they are indeed both wrong. Unlike most academicians and theoreticians I have ever encountered, he is the most courageous of them all. His radical ideas may come as repulsive to the rest of the conformists. He is none other than Professor Gabriel Vacariu. He is the only physicist I have encountered who is not selling his books. For those who are interested in updating on physics and knowing his ideas, start here! https://l.facebook.com/l.php…Illusions of Human Thinking – On Concepts of Mind, Reality, | Gabriel Vacariu | Springer“The book illustrates that the traditional philosophical concept of the “Universe”, the “World” has led to anomalies and paradoxes in the realm of…SPRINGER.COM” At  https://www.facebook.com/gabriel.vacariu.9?sk=approve&highlight=1287050818059585&log_filter=review&queue_type=friends&notif_t=mention&notif_id=1500296265415953″

Wayne Garrett: … if your ideas are “revolutionary” (as opposed to “evolutionary”) then they will not be easily accepted or even acknowledged readily. Some people may want to jump on-board with you, but most do not want to risk a career on in-proven ideas, they don’t want to be seen the fool. Others probably had the same or very similar ideas, just did not want to put them in writing as the “first” due to their untested, unproven nature. It takes time for up-ending ideas to be verified, to be validated. You may not know in your lifetime if they become accepted. Like with art, ideas often only become accepted with the passage of time. And, remember, the “death” of an artist is often a very good career move.” [and about people who have plagiarized my ideas] “Relax, you will get your credit at the proper time. It’s all published and basically time-stamped.”

Hemrak Tamang: “Ow! If this is true. NEW ERA WILL OPEN.” [Chemical engineering at the Heidelberg University] “Sir you are soo genius. You in our group is proud for all members.”

Eduardo Silva (in 2017): “I’ve recently been making my way through your books which I’ve enjoyed tremendously and has helped change my ideas on almost everything. The reason I thought I would ask was just to make sure I was understanding you correctly. I’m pleased that I’m on the right track.”  [Eduardo Silva, Psychology, Bristol and Kings, UK]

Dirk Henninghaus (Dortmund, Germany, Researcher in healthcare and insurance mathematics, University of Münster 2018): “Epistemological worlds as a concept are really unique and interesting. Fascinating philosophical work.”

Hamza Ali Asif (in 2017): “Gud sir, Its a.scientist tradation as einstein, hubble, maxwell, darwin, boltzmann, feynman,…..now Gabriel Vacariu…..very nice” [Physics, Pakistan]

Soumyarajan Panda (in 2017): “Sir, I think u r a great scientist” [Science, India]

Tommi Vijamaa  (July 2017): “I have to say you truly have a great mind, I’m trying to read more of your work now.”

Martin Tornberg (August 2017, Mathematics, Univ. of Pennsylvania): “Thank you for posting. Obviously existing mainstream theories have large gaps, are incomplete at best, and may be fundamentally flawed despite providing a paradigm that is useful in many ways and “works” in many ways. We need more out-of-the box thinkers like yourself and we need for them to be able to have their voices heard.”

Diana Coumont (August 2017): “ It is so sad that such plagiarism happens, unfortunately it takes so long for the real scientist that do the work to be recognized, but, it usually is brought to light. You know what you’ve done, sad others don’t acknowledge.”

Piotr Slupski (Politechnika Wroclawska, Poland) “I very much understand your point of view as well as feel very much the same when seeing similar content. I think, however, that you would be more satisfied and relaxed if you treated the mainstream as Tesla did – “I don’t care they stole my idea, I care they didn’t have their own”. Also, the Nobel committee recently posted a video where its said that good papers and science will be read anyway. Metrics really don’t matter. Great work man, thanks for sharing!”

Dale Anderson (Michigan USA) “No doubt that you are very smart Gabriel, and a thinker. The world needs more original thinkers. First come the innovators then the imitators.”

Jessie P. Dolia (Mathematics and Research Instructor (JHS & SHS) at CCL CentrEx) “Just fight for you rights and do not give up. The world will know soonest how your magnificent works re-shaped its image. I am all out in support for you Dr. Gabriel Vacariu. I will also educate some of my colleagues, friends, professionals and students about how important it is to value and respect intellectual property. They should learn to the greatest extent of law all the penalties and consequences of such acts. You deserve a Nobel Prize for this wonderful, significant and life-changing contribution to the people, to the society and to our civilization in the field of Pseudoscience, Philosophy and Medicine. In fact two or more Nobel Prizes Dr. Gabriel Vacariu. My salute to such great person like you. They will never prosper. Those who plagiarized your ideas have nothing but mere debunked replica of your works. They own nothing! …  They deserved to be placed in jail. They are robbers, theives. How pitiful of them…”

Rayan Moadh Serrai (Algeria): “Thx for accepting my request, genius. Hope one day you’ll win and get your properties deserved.”

Terry Gunn (Texas, USA, applied physics): ‘My doctorate is applied physics… What have you written is fascinating me! … I would like to formulate some of your philosophy, or have you already produced the mathematics?’ (My answer: ‘No. I am philosopher. You can try to do it. Thanks!) (Lambert, if I remembered correctly, tried to mathematize Kant’s philosophy!)

JayCee Themenace ‘Bro, although you deserve recognition and all the credits to your marvelous work, I don’t think it is wise to be mainly concerned about these things and fame, your work in itself is making revolutions around the world , you’ve done changed something about the world, and I think that life has a way of rewarding people like you, I think in my humble opinion that you should keep working on your projects and perfecting your views in order to substantiate your theories to the scientific community.’

Shubhang Upadhyay (India, physics): ‘You played a huge role in Quantum mechanics!’

Dialogue on Facebook about my writings:
Michael C.: Sorry that Your Work was Stolen
Me: Something normal in this absurd world…

Hritik Pandey (India, student Master, Mathematics): ‘Sir, I currently working on your EDWs and my theory to prove it 100% and we will change the world. It’s the first dimensional proof that EDWs are real.’

Dipak Bhattarai (Nepal, Physics): “Today I just saw your website and you man are a real legend….Whaaaat a thinking you’ve laid out about universe !!!!!! I seriously need your book but I can’t get it here in Nepal so I want your help… A great respect from Nepal!

Uma Đurić (Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina): “Are you developing a completely new philosophical paradigm? like something that could in 200 years be called “The School of Vacariu”…”

  • [On Internet about Springer’s book:

“… einen interessanten Versuch, einen neuen Zugang zu Psychologie, den Neurowissenschaften und der Quantenphysik zu finden ohne dabei in Widersprüche zu geraten. Obwohl an ein breiteres Publikum gewandt, sind philosophische Grundkenntnisse bei der Lektüre hilfreich.” Karl Schäfer, in: Amazon.de, 17. August 2016] [“… an interesting attempt to find a new approach to psychology, neurosciences, and quantum physics without getting into contradictions. Although a wider public is approaching, basic philosophical knowledge is helpful in reading.” (Karl Schäfer, in: Amazon.de, 17. August 2016)]

  • At a high-school from Portugal, at one of his lectures (a week in November 2015), Manuel Jose, professor of philosophy, thought his students about my EDWs perspective! (He wrote me about this event.)

  • My book on a bibliography (“This work is free only for personal and classroom use. Professor Joseph Vaisman Department of Computer Science and Engineering, NYU-Poly”) with some great philosophers. Quite long list, but there are many different sections. At “Epistemology”, there are 5 books. The first book is my Springer book!

  • My book “Epistemologically different worlds” (2008) have been mentioned on orgwebpage: “Counterfactual definiteness” (Categories: “Quantum measurement”) at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counterfactual_definiteness (the same article at http://encyclopine.org/en/Counterfactual_definiteness; www.minds.com/; www.mashpedia.com; www.redorblue.tk/; enc.tfode.com/; nichecreator.com/; epo.wikitrans.net/; 4cc.ir/docs/; www.tutorgigpedia.com; sciencewise.info/; www.biblicalwritings.com; si.infogin.com/, etc.); http://www.gutenberg.us/articles/counterfactual_definiteness

“Counterfactual definiteness (CFD) means that the output of a system can, in principle, be calculated by using an explicit formula y = f(x). Although the aspects of the universe that can adequately be described by classical physics are compatible with counterfactual definiteness, those aspects of the universe that can only be adequately modelled or described by quantum mechanics are not in all cases compatible with counterfactual definiteness. [1]”  (Footnote [1]: “Gabriel Vacariu, “Epistemologically Different Worlds,” Editura Universitãtii din bucuresti, 2008, ISBN 978-973-737-442-4  p. 331″)

 My works: In Autumn 2007, my PhD Thesis from UNSW (Sydney, Australia), has been posted on Internet at the webpage of UNSW (section for PhD thesis). In March 2008, I published my first book “Epistemologically Different Worlds” with the main ideas of EDWs perspective and its applications to philosophy (of mind), cognitive (neuro)science, and physics (quantum mechanics). (80% from this book are also in my PhD thesis from 2007!) I posted my book from 2008 (and all the next four books, all in English) on the Internet immediately after being published at Publishing Company of my University. I published my next four books in 2010, 2011, 2012, 2014 (and many articles).

  • (1997-2003) Together with my brother Mihai, I set up the Centre for Cognitive Science at the University of Bucharest. This was a new program which started with 25-30 students and where we brought in lecturers from disciplines like psychology, neuroscience, mathematics and philosophy and where we taught philosophy and computer science in the format of seminars based on learning within a group dynamic. We organized conferences, lectures and seminars given in Cognitive Science, Philosophy, Computer Simulations and Mathematics. In the end, the program inspired the leaders of my department to create a Masters Degree program on Cognitive Science.
  • In 2007, I have started to hold the course on Philosophy of Mind and Cognitive Science. My lectures are at http://www.ub-filosofie.ro/gvacariu/studenti.html
