Project LUCAS
Borderland Sciences SETI
Project
Summary
Project LUCAS was initiated by BSRF in 1996 and is dedicated
to the work of the late Dr. L. George Lawrence - pioneer in
Remote Biological Sensing (RBS) techniques applied to the capture
of Interstellar Communications (ICOMM). The project's purpose is
to explore alternative methods in the Search for Extraterrestrial
Intelligence (SETI), and to continue with Dr. Lawrence's work in
RBS and ICOMM. Our approach differs from the science of radio
astronomy - a technology which is limited due to the necessity of
obeying the confines of the electromagnetic spectrum. Dr.
Lawrence recognized this limitation, and sought to overcome it by
introducing a means of communication which was not bound by
conventional electromagnetic laws. Biological or Biodynamic
communication, as Lawrence called it, found its medium completely
outside of the electromagnetic spectrum, and therefore solved
many of the problems facing the prevailing radio-astronomical
methodology of interstellar communication.
Dr. Lawrence stated that advanced galactic cultures may
communicate by a method now lost to our civilisation - biodynamic
communication - where the biodynamic energy transfer acts as
the carrier, and the patternate content could then be interpreted
as the modulation. As an alternative to
conventional radio reception, biodynamic information appears to
be transmitted in a longitudinal point-to-point fashion. One
wouldnt have to wait light years for the reception of a
message it could be nearly instantaneous.
The need for better equipment, and constant monitoring are
essential to Project LUCAS, but without proper funding, may be
delayed for several years. Still, we continue experimentation on
the transfer of biological information, and are continuously
working toward the further development of practical applications
of this technology. Working outside of the electromagnetic
spectrum into the domain of biological energies opens up a vast
new area of research in many cases exceeding the singular
employment of interstellar communications. Technologies which
could arise from this pursuit are manifold, and applications such
as point-to-point terrestrial and extraterrestrial
communications, and portable biodynamic detectors are certain to
be a part of the near future.
