....The failure of science to discover perpetual motion is rooted in philosophy and scientific works of Aristotle, Galileo, Newton, Helmholtz and Einstein. Success of perpetual motion is rooted in first idea of religion (creation exnihlio) and mysticism which has its own history. Still almost from the very first, perpetual motion has been a major topic of philosophical reflection. The scientist’s misconception of perpetual motion is primarily due to his inability to draw the proper conclusions from his observations, but it is also strongly favored by the difficulty of visualizing what energy actually is....

...Therefore, without proper understanding of energy, it is misleading to speak of conservation of energy, because physicist’s view of world is rooted not only in a denial of perpetual motion but also in the ignorance of nature of energy itself. This volume deals with story of Origins of thermodynamics and erroneous establishment of laws of thermodynamics by Carnot, Mayer, Joule, Thompson, Helmholtz, Claussius, Lord Kelvin etc.

....It was erroneous to extend generalization made through experiment and observation on heat to the other parts of physics and therefore to universe. It has been demonstrated that mechanical equivalent of heat has no meaning. It is fundamental mistake to treat gravity as a mechanical force and employ vertical descent of objects as a standard to evolve various units of measurements of energy and work. Work done by an object over a closed path in perpetual motion system in a gravitation field is not zero.

....In universe, ordered perpetual motion is largely governed by force of gravitation at macrocosmic level and electromagnetic forces at microcosmic level, on the other hand, disordered perpetual motion is governed by heat. Both of them constitute a grand cycle of perpetual motion in which all things and processes in universe are subject to creation, conservation and dissolution. In fact, heat, gravity and perpetual motion have very interesting relationships with each other; we have explored relationship among them in more detail in volume on Rg Veda. Science has a very confined view of heat and regards it nothing more than agitation of particles. In the narrow case, the "Second Law" is really only a statement which describes the behavior of heat under certain circumstances.

....This book also presents you history of modern physics and critically examines the work of a generation of the scientist who has done harm to perpetual motion. Book demonstrates how Perpetual motion seriously contradicts famous Einstein’s equation: E = MC2. This volume also exposes limitations of quantum mechanics and particle physics. We would urge the reader to remember that all philosophy (therefore including all scientific theories) deals with the interpretations of facts, and not with the facts themselves. The facts may be true, and the interpretations false….

About EEC Series of Books

Author’s Introduction

A Brief History of Free Energy

Hopefully, you will agree with my views that you will find in the pages of my EEC series of books but I am also equally aware that you may not agree with me on certain points discussed in these volumes. Before arriving at any definite conclusions to anything published in these books, I shall advise you to do your own research & contribute your own unique creative insights. My views and thoughts contained in these books are mostly anti scientific establishment, non-dogmatic. They contain explorations of ideas largely found in Eastern ancient Wisdom like Vedas etc, as well as my own creative ideas with freedom of thought. According to doctrine of “Syadvada” in Jainism, no truth is final, therefore, never bound yourself to saying this is the only truth. Truth is always plural and that which is plural is not the “absolute truth”!

Dr. Ramesh Menaria's entire EEC series of books with 18 titles fills up more than 7000 pages. Contents and page numbers of EEC series of books are subject to minor changes as all the 18 manuscripts are being edited and reedited until they finally get published by Deva publishers.

NB: This site will go on line long before all possible topics have been treated; please forgive me if you seek information on a given topic and I have no information there yet.
