Still Missing Malaysia Aircraft (Flight 370)

Another search for the missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 begins today, on 17 January 2018. On 10th January 2018 The New York Times has announced that the search for the missing aircraft will be resumed today by a private U.S. marine company Ocean Infinity and the company could earn up to $70 million if the aircraft will be found. Previously, Australian officials indefinitely suspended the unsuccessful search for Flight 370 after nearly three years. They concluded that they may have been looking too far south in the Indian Ocean.

As a physicists, I propose here one new idea (at least, I have never heard about it till now), that the pilots of the missing aircraft have tried to fly as long as possible for to make a relatively safe water landing without any rest fuel on the board. They could really try to reach Maldives, where it was still a dark night. We know from the cases of the US Airways Flight 1549, luckily ditched on the Hudson River in 2009, and the crashed Ethiopian Airlines Flight 961 in November 1996, how difficult is a water landing during day time. At night it should be still more difficult. But there could be another unlucky coincidence responsible for the (probable) crash of the Malaysian machine, trying to land on Indian Ocean's water that night.

The Earth's surface, including oceans, is not as smooth as that of a bowling ball. Our planet actually looks like a bumpy potato and its surface is called geoid. The gravity is non-uniform because of the unequal distribution of mass within the deep Earth. It is a well-known phenomenon. The geoid, rising wherever there is high gravity, and sinking where gravity is low, creates what is known as “geoid anomalies”. In Figure 1b of this publication we see the large region of deep depression in the Indian Ocean surface between Indian subcontinent and Australia. The depression exceeds sometimes 100 m.
If the landing-aircraft devices measuring the aircraft high above the ocean are not equipped with a proper gravimeter, it could cause an additional difficulty to land softly.

Maybe to look for the geoid anomalies on the probable course of the Flight 370 could help to find its final position.

Simultaneous Policy, Evolutionary Biology, and the Unified Physics

Simpol, Biology, and the Unified Physics;
(4th Jan, 2018);
How the Unified Physics, beginning with the Universal Creative Potential and the Quantum Spectrum
of all possible Matter-Spirit quanta, does support the Biosemiotics, and together with it the Simpol idea, should be discussed between the contributing authors and all interested supporters of the Simultaneous Policy.

The unique experiment of Nature

1. INTRODUCTION

For 3.5 billion years Nature has run an uninterrupted experiment involving the continuous evolution of higher developed life forms. This is Nature's first and final experiment. Humans are its most recent manifestation. And at the rate we're going, perhaps its last. Unlike any other creature on this planet we are not only subjects of that experiment but also independent objects, able to change the outcome of the experiment because of our ability to consciously choose. Yet despite our relative consciousness about this role we don't exercise much conscientiousness about it. Is it possible we actually don't care about the outcome?

Today, our world has reached an apotheosis in which we are actually capable of ultimately destroying this unique experiment. But even if we're not that stupid to act so drastically, we might nevertheless be intervening in this experimental process by virtue of our (as yet) insufficient knowledge about what we're doing. For example, we are misusing the natural variability of the global climate to establish new profitable branches of industry, to instigate fear among the poorly educated peoples, and to funnel their financial resources into a few select pockets. And it is this very same poor education that has ill equipped us to comprehend a vital point; that the experiment of Nature is running on a much broader stage than that of our blue planet.

Unified Physics has demonstrably shown that we cannot understand the enormous risks of the experiment of Nature as long as we constrict our perspective to our terrestrial horizon. Fortunately for our children and the next generations, the climate poker is over now. But there are two other hazards connected with Nature's experiment. And according to those two challenges (enhanced frequency of the strongest earthquakes, and enhanced frequency of cosmic impacts) we are still completely inept at reacting appropriately.
