Overcoming climate crisis through scientific revolution

By Lee Eun-jae

Today's climate crisis, according to the cries of young people like Greta Thunberg, is robbing them of their future. No, it is not just teenagers who are being robbed of their future. It will be the future of all our global citizens.

In fact, in May 2019, the Australian National Centre for Climate Restoration released a policy report that included a scenario in which rapid climate change will turn most major cities in the world into unsustainable environments by 2050, and if this is not prevented, “nearly everything we have built in the last 2000 years will be destroyed. And most recently, in its Sixth Assessment Report on the Climate Crisis, nine years in the making, the IPCC has issued a stark warning that there are no more options to the climate crisis and that the survival of the planet is at stake within the next decade, not 2050. If this policy report is incomplete or inadequate in its future projections, there is still hope for us.

But our hopes are dangerous. For the world is still repeating the cries of “fire” because it has not yet articulated a path to a fundamental solution to today's climate crisis and a global action plan to accompany it. National leaders, whether in Glasgow or in Cairo, are simply setting a goal of carbon neutrality by 2050, emphasizing huge investments in the decarbonization sector and the development of technologies such as carbon capture, storage and utilization (CCSU).

But not only Thunberg, but every NGO and citizen environmental activist in the world, is unable to grasp the main reason why the annual international conference ends up being a conference without substance. In other words, there is no reading of the fact that the core factor delaying the solution of this problem, not to mention the climate crisis, is not the government, but the incomplete understanding and guidance of the scientific community on energy.

Of course, it is a very uncomfortable point for most people for whom science is a hope, that today's climate crisis is due to the imperfections of science, and that the power to prevent this solution is also science.

These problems cannot be solved by simply placing the blame on governments and industry. For science since Newton has limited mankind's understanding and use of energy to matter alone, wrapping it in scientific truths called the laws of energy. However, the laws of energy are not made up of matter alone. In fact, matter occupies a very small place in the composition of energy. We can find these characteristics of energy composition in the universe as well as in the appearance of atoms. Science reveals that what we understand as matter accounts for only about 5 percent of this universe and admits that we are still in the dark as to what constitutes the rest of the universe.

In addition to the nucleus and electrons, an atom has an atomic space that makes up 99.9999 percent of its area, and this atomic space does not just exist in a meaningless state. It serves the function of energy that gives and regulates the properties of the nucleus and electrons. Above all, the role of atomic space does not create the problems of friction and resistance that arise when using only 0.00001 percent of matter as energy, such as the 0.00001 percent of the nucleus and electrons that make up one part in 10 trillion in an atom.

Today, however, there is only one way to overcome the climate crisis. There is no other way out but to look at space as the center of energy, which has been distorted and disconnected by past and modern science, and to rapidly connect it to all material utilization technologies. For this path may well lead the way to overcoming the limitations of the current energy utilization system, which repeatedly wastes energy and faces the problem of friction and resistance each time.

Now the world must ask itself why, even in the face of today's global crisis, science has not abandoned the scientific relic that matter is all about energy. And we must ask ourselves why the scientific community, having explored the atom, still clings to the idea that 99.9999 percent of atomic space revolves around nuclei and electrons, rather than 0.00001 percent of nuclei and electrons revolving around space, as if it were a medieval pendulum theory. And world leaders need to convene an urgent international conference to ascertain why the scientific community is imposing such an upside-down worldview on humanity in the name of science.

We now have only one choice. Will we continue to follow the science and dismiss the use of space and space energy as a science of sleep, or will we pave the way for action to harness the potential of space as a central energy source for solving the climate crisis?

As early as 1999, Korea perfected and improved tools for the free use of space energy, which is present in the atmosphere of our daily lives and industrial sites, just like electricity. The fact that free use of space energy is now possible represents a new revolution in the way humanity uses energy. It also means that we can go beyond the Fourth Industrial Revolution and enter an era of true industrial revolution, in which the industries of every country will no longer waste energy. At the same time, it also means that we can realize the hope that together humanity can stop the doomsday clock caused by the climate crisis.

This hope means that just as an atom is optimally structured around 99.9999 percent of atomic space, not just 0.00001 percent of nuclei and electrons, so that we can all immediately start a global energy revolution now, without wasting any energy at all, by shifting our daily and industrial energy use methods to focus on space energy, keeping their structure optimized around it, so that no energy is wasted. This means that we can all start a global energy revolution right now, without wasting any energy.
