The article substantiates the conceptual foundations of the postmaterialistic paradigm of science, based on the achievements of quantum physics, synergetics, eniology and the theory of physical vacuum. The principles of the postmaterialistic paradigm (the ontological principle of holism, the principle of teleological hierarchy, the principle of materialistic-ideal complementarity, the anthropic principle of the predefinition of man and the world, the principle of the spiritual determiner of all theories of being) allowing to change radically the methods of energy use, applying the energy potential of the egregore for subtle, non-material matters of reality to upgrade the energy efficiency taking into account the axiological dominant, are explicated.

Energy-saving, improving energy efficiency, and finding a new efficient way to use energy are considered as an urgent problem in over the world. In this paper, we consider the economics of energy use in combination with energy storage units where two forms of electricity exist in the power system. Then the problem of optimizing the installation capacity (to optimize the investment costs for energy storage) is presented and investigated in connection with the conversion systems. The topic opens a very significant result, including the introduction of a mathematical model to calculate the simulation in optimizing the installation capacity of the equipment in the system, multi-source power, as well as voltage and power stability benefits.

The Universe

With the deepening contradictions between the technocratic and spiritual development of humankind, the need for spiritual healing is becoming increasingly urgent. The path to spiritual healing is marked by the need to rethink the place and role of a human in the universe. The curing of spirituality is the valeological paradigm of the 21st century. Spirituality closely interacts with the so-called physical vacuum, on one side, and with the physical structures of the personality, on the other. By acknowledging the spiritual and physical structure of the personality, the conventional medicine seeks to restore only physical health, while neglecting its spiritual constant. Scientific evidence of the existence of a single energy system of the universe has already been revealed in the form of an experimentally substantiated theory of physical vacuum and torsion fields. If we want to get an adequate understanding of the fundamentals of health, disease, and personality development, we must certainly consider the spiritual aspect of being. The energy of thought directly controls health, stimulating it or, conversely, cau­sing illness. Human thoughts are the primary information carrier, where the energy potential is encapsulated. It does not seem possible to explain energy processes in a body by the laws of classical phy­sics. It is the domain of quantum physics. The domination of mind over matter is quantum reality. Some provisions of quantum physics are postulated by quantum biology. In particular, it concerns the corpuscular-wave duality of elementary biological objects, as well as the probability as a category related to the quantum essence of biological objects. Energy processes form the basis of human mental activity, and their laws describe the mechanisms of thinking and consciousness. There is a relationship between energy processes and body physiology, a correlation between substance and energy. In this way, consciousness and the energy of thought control health by stimulating it or, conversely, by causing illness. A spiritual person rises above his genetic destiny. Epigenetics studies the hidden impacts exerted on genes by multiple sources, including thoughts and beliefs. The power of thought changes a person’s genetic code. One should be willing to make changes in one’s thin­king and consciousness. We influence the healing processes with our consciousness. The power of thought and speech plays a major role in harmonizing the personality and maintaining a person’s health.

Different Sources

Previous chapters in this book focus on the production of energy from different sources and how we might increase the supply to meet the anticipated growth in demand. In this chapter we focus on options to manage the energy demand. There are many ways—other than complete avoidance of the use of goods or services that demand energy—by which we can “save” energy; actually, we are not saving but reducing the growth in the demand of energy. It is often convenient to think of savings arising from two categories: energy efficiency and energy conservation. Energy efficiency reduces the energy necessary to perform a desired task, and energy conservation includes all actions that avoid unnecessary use of energy. To use the automobile as an example, development of techniques that reduce the fuel needed to go from one place to another is an example of improved energy efficiency. Substituting the automobile with a more efficient mode of transportation or the avoidance of the activity entirely would be examples of energy conservation. Thoughtful use of both conservation and efficiency will be necessary if we are to achieve substantial reductions in our future energy use as individuals, nations, or the world as a whole. As discussed in chapter 4, the global energy use projected for 2050 under three scenarios with three differing growth rates ranges from a high of 9.4 CMO/yr to a low of 3.9 CMO/yr. Our recent energy use of approximately 3 CMO/yr (since 2000) is on a growth curve that follows the trajectory of the high-consumption scenario. Improvements in energy efficiency have of course been made steadily over the past century and will likely continue in the future. Much of that improvement has already been taken into account in arriving at the projections for future growth. The 2.6% annual growth in energy consumption has taken place notwithstanding steady improvements in efficiency. To bring the projected 2050 consumption down from more than 9 CMO, we will need savings that would not happen without a rededicated effort.

The article analyses critera applying to the choice of energy efficient high quality light sources and luminaires, which are used in Russian domestic and international practice. It is found that national standards GOST P 54993–2012 and GOST P 54992– 2012 contain outdated criteria for determining indices and classes of energy efficiency of light sources and luminaires. They are taken from the 1998 EU Directive #98/11/EU “Electric lamps”, in which LED light sources and discharge lamps of high intensity were not included. A new Regulation of the European Union #874/2012/EU on energy labelling of electric lamps and luminaires, in which these light sources are taken into consideration, contains a new technique of determining classes of energy efficiency and new, higher classes are added. The article has carried out a comparison of calculations of the energy efficiency classes in accordance with GOST P 54993 and with Regulation #874/2012/EU, and it is found out that a calculation using GOST P 54993 gives underrated energy efficiency classes. This can lead to interdiction of export for certain light sources and luminaires, can discredit Russian domestic manufacturer light sources and does not correspond to the rules of the World Trade Organization (WTO).

Conceptual Foundations

The main content of the work consists of certain systematization and addition of longexisting, but eventually deformed and partly lost qualitative ideas about the role of thermal and wind factors that determine the physical mechanism of the World Ocean’s General Circulation System (OGCS). It is noted that the conceptual foundations of the theory of the OGCS in one form or another are contained in the works of many well-known hydrophysicists of the last century, but the aggregate, logically coherent description of the key factors determining the physical model of the OGCS in the public literature is not so easy to find. An attempt is made to clarify and concretize some general ideas about the two key blocks that form the basis of an adequate physical model of the system of oceanic water masses motion in a climatic scale. Attention is drawn to the fact that when analyzing the OGCS it is necessary to take into account not only immediate but also indirect effects of thermal and wind factors on the ocean surface. In conclusion, it is noted that, in the end, by the uneven flow of heat to the surface of the ocean can be explained the nature of both external and almost all internal factors, in one way or another contributing to the excitation of the general, or climatic, ocean circulation.

Subordinate Role

It now appears that quantum computers are poised to enter the world of computing and establish its dominance, especially, in the cloud. Turing machines (classical computers) tied to the laws of classical physics will not vanish from our lives but begin to play a subordinate role to quantum computers tied to the enigmatic laws of quantum physics that deal with such non-intuitive phenomena as superposition, entanglement, collapse of the wave function, and teleportation, all occurring in Hilbert space. The aim of this 3-part paper is to introduce the readers to a core set of quantum algorithms based on the postulates of quantum mechanics, and reveal the amazing power of quantum computing.

Detailed Picture

Robots may one day rule the world, but what is a robot-ruled Earth like? Many think the first truly smart robots will be brain emulations or ems. Scan a human brain, then run a model with the same connections on a fast computer, and you have a robot brain, but recognizably human. Train an em to do some job and copy it a million times: an army of workers is at your disposal. When they can be made cheaply, within perhaps a century, ems will displace humans in most jobs. In this new economic era, the world economy may double in size every few weeks. Some say we can't know the future, especially following such a disruptive new technology, but Professor Robin Hanson sets out to prove them wrong. Applying decades of expertise in physics, computer science, and economics, he uses standard theories to paint a detailed picture of a world dominated by ems. While human lives don't change greatly in the em era, em lives are as different from ours as our lives are from those of our farmer and forager ancestors. Ems make us question common assumptions of moral progress, because they reject many of the values we hold dear. Read about em mind speeds, body sizes, job training and career paths, energy use and cooling infrastructure, virtual reality, aging and retirement, death and immortality, security, wealth inequality, religion, teleportation, identity, cities, politics, law, war, status, friendship and love. This book shows you just how strange your descendants may be, though ems are no stranger than we would appear to our ancestors. To most ems, it seems good to be an em.

Rising power costs and constraints are driving a growing focus on the energy efficiency of high performance computing systems. The unique characteristics of a particular system and workload and their effect on performance and energy efficiency are typically difficult for application users to assess and to control. Settings for optimum performance and energy efficiency can also diverge, so we need to identify trade-off options that guide a suitable balance between energy use and performance. We present statistical and machine learning models that only require a small number of runs to make accurate Pareto-optimal trade-off predictions using parameters that users can control. We study model training and validation using several parallel kernels and more complex workloads, including Algebraic Multigrid (AMG), Large-scale Atomic Molecular Massively Parallel Simulator, and Livermore Unstructured Lagrangian Explicit Shock Hydrodynamics. We demonstrate that we can train the models using as few as 12 runs, with prediction error of less than 10%. Our AMG results identify trade-off options that provide up to 45% improvement in energy efficiency for around 10% performance loss. We reduce the sample measurement time required for AMG by 90%, from 13 h to 74 min.
