4/28/07: Post-Science Applications: Infallible Stock Prediction, Never-Miss Tennis, Globally Searchable ID Numbers
Topic: Post-Science Applications: Infallible Stock Prediction, Never-Miss Tennis, Globally Searchable ID NumbersSpeaker: Dr. Hugh Ching
Date: 4/28/2007, Saturday
Time: 12:45 PM to 1:45 PM
Venue:
Main Conference Room
NPU Administration Building
47671 Westinghouse Drive, Fremont, CA 94539
Abstract
This seminar introduces post-science applications in four areas: (1) Stock Prediction, (2) Never-Miss Tennis, (3) Universal Permanent Numbers, and (4) Child Future Development (CFD). After a successful private stock investment, doubling every three months for a period of nine months, Post-Science Institute has started on March 26, 2007 a public stock prediction. For its first session, which has just concluded, the selected stock options have produced the rate of return of 25% in two weeks, and if it continues at this rate the annualized rate would be 2400%. The prediction of stock is still an on-going post-science project. The event is announced and reported daily in the Chinese web magazine http://www.enmages.com/Activities/dailystock.html and occasionally in other media. The stock prediction is a mechanical process based on the Infinite Spreadsheet (http://infinitespreadsheet.com). The near infallibility of the post-science stock prediction reflects the absence of any reliable solution in social science and, consequently, the complete irrationality of our society, whose decisions are all made based on the finite spreadsheet.
Another very active post-science application is Dr. Ta-You Wu’s jumpulse (http://jumpulse.com), which is the solution of touch or collision without bounce. Jumpulse is a sudden change of force, as impulse is a sudden change of momentum. The late Dr. Wu is the Father of Chinese Physics, and his jumpulse, in terms of relevance, far surpasses impulse of Isaac Newton, the Father of Western Physics. The unit of jumpulse is wu, where one wu equals one Newton. Current scientists still refuse to believe that touch is a physics problem; they try to solve the problem as a tactile or soft material problem, not as the interaction of forces during collision. Touch will thus be a worldwide knowledge debate of Wu vs. Newton, East vs. West, and post-science vs. science. Jumpulse can be demonstrated with never-miss table tennis or tennis. Jumpulse Table Tennis can also be used for Child Future Development of, say, a baby’s vision for super-fast timing resolution in its first six months and the muscle for acceleration in its first two years.
Post-science can raise human intelligence to a new level with an environment of the future characterized by jumpulse and the Infinite Spreadsheet. Universal Permanent Numbers are needed to provide Global Searchable ID Numbers and One-To-One Search Result, which are not available on Google and Yahoo. The Numbers will be remembered by completely automated software, which should be the foundation of life, or computer, science. Computer science is currently partially automated.
Biography
Dr. Hugh Ching is the founder of post-science, inventor of the Infinite Spreadsheet, Universal Permanent Numbers, Ball Control (MIT SB, SM, ScD), and a student of Dr. Ta-You Wu.
Hugh Ching has solved the two problems of value and complete automation, which are unsolved by John von Neuman, and the problem of touch, which is missed by Isaac Newton and all the scientists since Newton, and which is necessary before force can be exerted. He was twice the table tennis champion at MIT, where he got the idea of ball control or touch with the publication of the book Table Tennis Scientific Analyses, for Coaches and Intermediate Players, and graduated with a BS, MS, and ScD majoring in plasma physics for controlled fusion.
He did post-doctoral research at the Courant Institute under Harold Grad, with whose guidance he formulated the Generalized Fluid Description, which provides a correct and usable theoretical foundation for plasma physics. He spent eight years studying philosophy at UC Berkeley under the sponsorship of Paul Feyerabend and Benson Mates. He is the founder of Post-Science Institute and holds the patents (1) "Completely Automated And Self-generating Software System" (SSS) (Patent Number 5,485,601), which establishes a completely automated and permanent standard to replace the current temporary software standards, (2) "Quantitative Supply And Demand Model Based On Infinite Spreadsheet"(Pat. No. 6,078,901), and (3) a pending patent "Jumpulse Devices For Eliminating Bounces"" which will enable the creation of Self-manufacturing General Purpose Robots capable of touching and, thus, replacing all human physical labors. He holds the copyrights to the Infinite Spreadsheet software and to Permanent Integer ID Numbers from minus infinity to plus infinity, an intellectual property based on the Permanent Software. Jumpulse is a new word coined by the late Ta-You Wu, to denote a sudden change of force with the unit 1 wu = 1 newton, while impulse of Newton is a sudden change of momentum. Jumpulse also explains ball control, the ability of a player to keep an impacting ball on a racket for a prolonged period of time and the secret of consistency in sports. The jumpulse research was jointed by Tosiyasu L. Kunii, who founded the Computer Graphics Society with headquarters in Geneva, the Department of Information Science at the University of Tokyo, and the University of Aizu. He also formed the SSS-DNA Team with Kunii, Chitoor V. Ramamoorthy. Kunii, Ram, and Ching have recently written the book Knowledge, scheduled for publication in 2007.

Topic: An Exploratory Model of the Determinants of Disintermediation: The Facilitating Role of the Manufacturer’s Virtual Presence
Speaker: Dr. Chiayin Chung
Date: 3/31/2007, Saturday
Time: 12:45 PM to 1:45 PM
Venue:
Main Conference Room
NPU Administration Building
47671 Westinghouse Drive, Fremont, CA 94539
Abstract
This study explores the determinants of disintermediation on the part of manufacturers given their virtual presence. In particular, the study examines factors influencing a manufacturer’s use of the direct channel vis-à-vis the indirect intermediary channel, given its virtual presence on the Internet. Disintermediation is defined as the action taken by a manufacturer to decrease its dependence on intermediaries by using more of its direct distribution channel to market products to household and business customers (Chircu & Kauffman, 2000; Rosenbloom, 1999). The establishment of the company Web site on the Internet is defined as the manufacturer’s virtual presence (MVP). The proposed conceptual model was tested empirically with manufacturers in the United States. Key informants were high-level executives responsible for making distribution channel decisions. This research is probably the first of its kind to empirically test the factors influencing the extent of disintermediation in the Internet context.
Biography
