The most vital science is the kind that dares to question its own foundations—the kind that doesn’t take its methods for granted but turns the lens back onto itself. For centuries, scientific inquiry has been framed as an “objective” observation of the natural world. But what if nature, in its deepest expression, cannot be separated from the way we choose to observe, measure, and interact with it? As Nobel laureate Werner Heisenberg famously stated: “The method cannot be separated from its object.” (Physics and Philosophy: The Revolution in Modern Science, 1989) Or as physicist Bernard D’Espagnat pointed out: “The principles of physics cannot even be formulated without referring to the impressions—and thus to the minds—of the observers.” (The Conceptual Foundations of Quantum Mechanics, 1976)
All science begins with a gaze but what if that gaze already shapes what we see?
In other words, science is not an impartial window onto nature—it is a mirror. The design of a camera determines the picture it can take. In the same way, the structure of a scientific experiment shapes what can be seen. True knowledge of nature begins with self-knowledge: of the senses, the tools, the techniques—and of the person who uses them. This is not a new idea. Before modern science was formalized by Descartes and Bacon, the operative sciences—the arts of architecture, alchemy, and craft—treated nature as something to be shaped through artistic and technical collaboration, not passively observed. In the building of cathedrals, or in medieval engineering, human beings didn’t merely study nature—they participated in it. I developed this vision extensively in my book Operative Traditionsand in my 2024 SEMF presentation, where I emphasized that understanding technique is not just a practical matter—it is a path to truth.
Before science was theory, it was craftsmanship: an embodied dance with the forces of nature
A Violation of Newton’s Law
This deeper, operative understanding of nature has led me to something extraordinary: a verifiable phenomenon that violates one of the bedrock laws of classical physics—Newton’s law of conservation of momentum.
Let’s briefly explain this law with two simple examples:
Case 1 – The Roundabout A child sits still on a playground roundabout. They wiggle and shift, but unless they push against something external—like the ground—or throw something sideways, the roundabout will not start to spin. Without external force or ejected mass, there is no spontaneous generation of movement.
Case 2 – The Frozen Lake A girl stands motionless on a perfectly frictionless frozen lake. If she tries to walk, she goes nowhere. She can only begin to move by throwing something in the opposite direction—like a heavy backpack. The system (her body plus backpack) keeps the total momentum constant.
The Principle: If nothing from the outside touches a system, the total momentum must stay the same.
And yet—there exists a simple, repeatable physical action that contradicts this principle. I discovered this phenomenon not in a laboratory, but through a direct, embodied relationship with physical technique—through years of training, study, and precise observation. This is not just a scientific anomaly. It is the tip of an iceberg. It challenges the reductionist assumptions of classical physics and biomechanics and suggests that something far deeper lies beneath our understanding of force, movement, and energy. More insight into all these relations is going to be soon presented in an upcoming book where I expose the true causes of the apparition of the golden ratio in nature and architecture.
Why This Matters
This challenge to Newton’s law is not a theoretical paper. It’s a public wager—an open call to scientists, educators, and thinkers. I am inviting them to witness, analyze, and respond. The goal is not to prove someone wrong, but to provoke deeper questions. If successful, this project could generate widespread public and scientific attention, and the resulting funds will be used to launch a new kind of educational initiative—schools and institutions where children and teenagers are taught to empower their senses, reconnect with their bodies, and rediscover the deeper dimensions of science as self-knowledge and human transformation. The phases of development of this project are the following: 1) Confidential review phase I´m inviting select physicists and institutions to evaluate the technical document under NDA, also offering them financial honoraria as a gesture of respect for their time. 2) Structured scientific wager A formal bet shall be then arranged with one or more participants who agree to test or challenge the claim. Terms include third-party validation, escrow, and specific observational criteria. 3) Public demonstration A video will be released showing the phenomenon clearly, performed by an adult or child in a familiar setting. This moment will serve as a turning point for public awareness. 4) Media and educational outreach Books, talks, and visual material will explore not only the phenomenon, but its philosophical, pedagogical, and cultural implications. 5) Scientific and institutional response Depending on public reaction and experimental replication, the phenomenon may spark reevaluation in physics departments, journals, or lead to broader investigations into exceptions to classical mechanics. 6) Integration into a larger vision Ultimately, this project is part of a broader path, integrating science, literature, and lived experience into a unified offering. It seeks not only to challenge knowledge, but to expand our way of knowing. This project is an extension of my lifelong path: from my early fascination with energy and engineering, to the writing of Operative Traditions, to the Guinness World Record I achieved through an integrated body-mind training system. The Solar Warrior archetype that animates all my work sees the extraordinary hidden within the ordinary—and the path to truth through embodied effort, imagination, and courage.
