Haramein - the Rise of a new Prophet?

From time to time interesting personalities rise to great popularity. One of them is Nassim Haramein from Switzerland. Born in 1962 he tells us that at age 9 he already had a significant interest in 'the secrets of this world'. Those are many, from history until the universe and our place therein. Where boys of his age still played with Lego blocks, he then started to develop a new idea about the hyperdimensionality of matter and energy. Einstein was an example for the later translation of this boy's dream into a new paradigm for sciences: the 'Haramein-Rauscher Metric' for an holofractographic universe. The University of Liège gave an award for his paper about this subject. Could it be the foundation for a fundamental change in our current understanding of physics and consciousness? What do we know more about Haramein, who is director of 'The Resonance Project' on Hawaii? Is he a new 'prophet' for a future world, or -as a do-it-yourself 'physicist'- a brilliant charlatan?
Amazing personalities require respect for what they sometimes suddenly achieve. Nassim Haramein is such a personality, attracting hundreds of visitors to his performances. They pay considerable amounts to see their 'guru'. But what's it all about? An exposé about the mathematics behind his 'holofractographic universe' can't be the reason. That within us might reside a 'black whole' likewise hardly, I assume. No, Haramein embeds his ideas in stories about archeology, physics, astronomy, sociology, philosophy. A generalist's approach of our already so very complex society. But his calm attitude, nice appearance and flux de bouche (eloquence) about controversial subjects make of him an attraction. What he tells with so much conviction however needs a critical assessment. I was for a long time impressed about what he claimed, until I woke up from that dream by some completely unsubstantiated claims that I could refute with incredible ease. I selected from his YouTube oeuvre 3 clips that paint an excellent picture of Nassim Haramein. Two of them are astonishing, the last however woke me up!

It took me considerable time to assess the mathematical claims from Haramein about his quantum universe and the organised chaos behind it. That by itself was no news for me. Moreover I discovered that a considerable amount of his wisdom also is to be found in the writings from the American theoretical physicist Brian Greene, professor at Columbia University. Greene's 2004 book 'The Fabric of the Cosmos: Space, Time, and the Texture of Reality' also deals with space, time, and the nature of the universe. It serves his views on 'non-local particle entanglement', or in popular words: how everything is connected in this universe. The seemingly 'brilliance' of Haramein is, that he concluded that at the horizon of things energies and whirling forces of a black hole are at work. An idea that needs scientific attention and testing. But is his postulate already an hypothesis? Nevertheless I believe Haramein by accident landed very close to the truth indeed! How the geometrical symmetry of his model versus experimentally observed 'quantum convulsions' should be understood is for me an open question, as in fact is its formal originality.
About his pseudo-scientific escapades in the realm of old civilisations, archeology and biology, the influence from the Swiss Erich von Däniken appears omni-present. Haramein avoids too much attention for too wellknown South- and Middle American ancient histories as to divert attention to controversies about the Egyptian pyramids and those in China. Here he makes several excellent points regarding the way some archeologists and scholars deal with that history. The absurd and illogical often isn't enough for the generation that still is obsessed trying to prove the factual truth from biblical histories. For about 130 years that was the very startingpoint for what we know as archeology. Sir Laurence Gardner, author of a.o. "Bloodline of the Holy Grail" said: "By the 1880s, the governing establishments of Christendom were dreading the very word 'archaeologist'. And so, archaeological digs were brought under strict control, and their funding and undertakings had to be approved by newly designated authorities." No shadow of doubt that archeology still serves different purposes than sciences alone, what a.o. Haramein exposes. However when it comes to his 'giants' and parts of skulls showing deformations we already need to be vigilant. Craniosynostosis still is amongst us! Without mentioning this and showing undetermined pictures of deformed skulls to provide 'evidence' for his claims, Haramein clearly moves into the realms of speculations.
The wake up call came when viewing the last, Spanish undertitled clip about 'a huge comet' that passed the Sun in February 2003. That comet was called 'C/2002 V1 NEAT' and is widely documented on the Internet at specific comet-related websites. The claim that "one keeps it secret" is completely refutable and plain nonsense! That the comet was 'large' relates to the brightness of its image on very specific observational wavelengths of instruments in the SOHO satellite. This important solar observatory offers astronomers also options to discover otherwise unnoticed comets. Yes, the tail is near the Sun huge, but very thin. The object itself rather insignificant and certainly not of a magnitude to influence the orbit of planets. The German astronomer Dr. Rainer Kracht has an excellent website with far more Sun grazing comets that a.o. he discovered analysing satellite images.
It is disappointing to see a seemingly multi-talented person like Nassim Haramein, who attracts many people by popularising sciences, using selective material, speculations and dubious, if not false claims to convince people of our cosmic heritage. His public expects to hear a different new story, I suppose. The verifiable story from a visionary perhaps. They come to learn, not to be left in the dark, fooled or misled. It now raises eyebrows when suddenly far more substantial ideas are presented and rewarded. How original were these ideas? That everything is interconnected in this universe might give rise to new philosophies about ourselves, our society and nature. The practicable translation of these ideas into realities for people is what until now fails. Math formulas may look impressive and contemporary, the visualisations of them may look like art, the idea as such brilliant, but shouldn't need to be accompanied by showmanship at a seaside, media-presence with smalltalk and lectures that substitute verifiable facts for cleverly presented assumptions. That's not the way a new prophet would want to make his point...
