    If we ask anyone(majority),what is spirit or
    Soul or where it comes from,what purpose
    is there inside us to fulfill.?
    Probably they look at the sky's painting for a clue.
    How could we answer this questions if we
    ignore who we are.
  • Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2010
    As I am fascinated with explorations and explanations of reality by nuclear physicists, but very limited in mathematical and technical comprehension, I greatly appreciate those with great scientific minds who write for the general public. Jean Emile Charon's, The Spirit: That Stranger Inside Us, is a very important and readable book that presents a theory for understanding spiritual reality that is consistent with current scientific knowledge.

    Charon, a well published and highly regarded nuclear physicist with intellectual power on par with Einstein, directly chastises the limited, reductive approach of most contemporary physicists. He insists that true science must not ignore the metaphysical questions that are inherent in the quest for a unitary theory of the cosmos. He believes that there is a fundamental difference between the creation of new theory and the practice of discovery and verification that is employed today by most in his field. Quoting Einstein, "A theory can be verified by experience, but no path exists which leads from experience to the creation of a theory. It takes "the work of the physicist and the mind of metaphysicist teaming up to achieve breakthrough in the profound knowledge of things."

    Fortunately for us we find both qualities in Emile Charon. He carefully leads the reader through the complexities of black holes and how space-time in that realm memorizes and ordains events, and how this phenomenon can explain the ongoing evolution of spirit within the individual and the entire cosmos.

    This is a book that can have profound influence on our understanding of matter and spirit. It is one that takes one way beyond the physical/metaphysical split.

    Mr. Charon was a French nuclear physicist. He has written over 20 books on physics and did research at France's Atomic Energy Authority. I have read several books on quantum physics, and Mr. Charon's book, while containing many interesting and original ideas about the nature of matter, space-time, and elementary particles, electrons in particular, was rather difficult to read. Maybe because it was translated from French, or because Mr Charon's writing style is rather circuitous and he tends to ramble on, even though he probably had a genius level IQ.

    It is still a worthy read if you want a rather unconventional take on nuclear physics. Basically, his theory is that electrons posses a different type of space-time and have a very low level type of consciousness, which he calls "eons". He wrote another book, Complex Relativity, which was written for physicists and contains loads of high level math and concepts from physics. This book, The Spirit: That Stranger Within us, is the simpler of the two.

    This on of the best books, if not the best, regarding Mind/Space/Universe topics that I have ever read, and I habe quite a few of them. It is recommendable especially for non-physicists/experts, because it is written in simple language and easy-to-understand examples for such a complex issue. Thanks.

    If Jean Emile Charon's scientific discovery of "...the structure of matter "containing" a space of the Spirit." - and "Soul", in a particle of matter, called "éon", as he describes in his books, is not THE GREATEST SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY OF ALL TIMES!!! - What do YOU know, or believe, is?

    Nuclear Physicist - Engineer - Physicist-Theorist and Metaphysicist, Jean Emile Charon, wrote that his last book The SPIRIT: That Stranger Inside Us - originally published in French in 1977 under the title L 'Esprit cet inconnu, along with the corresponding book, THEORY OF COMPLEX RELATIVITY (Théorie de la Relativité complexe, which addresses itself to specialist in Theoretical Physics, with mathematical formulas, 'models', and in the language of physicist) - was his best of the over 20 books that he wrote on the subjects of physics, scientific philosophy and computer science.

    I still, most likely, would not know anything about this now (and maybe never), if Victor M. Diaz had not hired Philip L. Gagnon, Sr. to, brilliantly, translate and edit to English from the original French, so that the non-scientist - 'average individual' - gets the sense that Jean Emile Charon, with his delightfully affable humor, is speaking clearly, simply and directly to the reader - explaining in 'everyday' terminology JEC's Theory of Complex Relativity, and if Infinity Publishing had not published it, and if Author Marketing Experts, Inc. had not sent me a copy, for my review.

    After reading the book, I found it to be rather peculiar, to say the least, that the popular modern Physicist, Michio Kaku wrote to me, in an e-mail response to my question to him, that he was "...not familiar with this person." Jean Emile Charon. And it seems that no other living scientist is familiar with that person, are simply will not acknowledge knowing of and about a scientist who wrote and published 25 books specifically related to their work, and was "sent to the United States by the French government to do a report on the state of scientific research over there. As you remember, we were a bit behind. We wanted to do a limited assessment of what was happening in the universities and large American enterprises. For five years, I visited the principal laboratories. I met many brilliant people, some of whom became great scientists: Wheeler, from Princeton; Feynmann, who was working at the California Institute; Post, who had been seeking the secret of controlled thermonuclear fusion for some time. " From JEC interview in LE POINT magazine, referred to below.

    In chapter 5 "Electron: Carrier of the Spirit", the specifically related subjects covered are "...space of the electron, and it's virtual interactions "at a distance" -- Proofs of psychism at particle level -- Communication between Man and Spirit of Matter..."

    In chapter 1, second paragraph JEC wrote "These days the "scientist" will very rarely discuss these "metaphysical" subjects, simply because the patrons of "official" science won't authorize the direction of their research toward the metaphysical." And, in the third paragraph, he wrote "I personally find this attitude scandalous. First, because it is this "general public"--looking for clarifications (if not some answers) on metaphysical questions--who ultimately finance scientific research through their hard work. After all, doesn't this general public have the right to see the topics that interest them most included in research programs? Who is actually qualified, or authorized, to see this public as a child, incapable of knowing what it wants to eat? And, by what right does one decide to deprive them of the knowledge they want?"

    In chapter 5, "Electron: Carrier of the Spirit", in which, some of the related subjects covered are "...space of the electron, and it's virtual interactions "at a distance" -- Proofs of psychism at particle level -- Communication between Man and Spirit of Matter..." on page 83, second paragraph, after describing "...the great mathematician, Henri Poincaré..." and his teaching and student grading method, related to "everyday language", JEC wrote "I, too, believe that Physics is worth nothing if it can't be popular. By that I mean a Physics explainable in a language understood by all. I propose to attempt this Pointcaré test myself by letting you, my reader, be the judge." Sooo, those statements, along with the rest of the contents of his book "clinched" my decision to comment on and question any information from any "credentialed" scientist and/or institution.

    Interestingly enough, the original web site for Jean Emile Charon is no longer available, and has been replaced with "Watch out fleas ! The FLEAMINATOR is coming soon !" at [...] The original website pages included JEC's biography, information about The Spirit: That Stranger Inside Us, as well as a December of 1977 interview with Jean E. Charon about his then new book L'ESPRIT CET INCONNU, and its controversial subject published in LE POINT magazine. The interview was conducted in Paris, France, by LE POINT reporter, Georges Suffert; who was understandably skeptical about the subject: actual scientific proof of the existence of a spiritual time and space. Mr. Charon's answers to some of Suffert's pointed questions provide clues to the man behind the science behind the theory.

    The following is excerpted from that interview:

    [begin excerpt] JC: Some of the time, I worked on controlled thermonuclear fusion. That's what Post had in part taught me. You know that it's a major problem. The solution to the energy crisis probably lies in that direction, but everyone has doubts. We're hoping to master this recipe in a few years, somewhere around 1985. And, we've had to adjust that estimate, realizing that we'll probably need another ten years. It's not a sure thing. We're almost there, but it's going to take someone, somewhere, to have a bit of luck to gain ten years. I'm going to leave it at that. It's an exciting subject, but it isn't the one I want to discuss today. During the rest of my time, I do, as we say, fundamental research. I work in General Relativity. These days, this seems odd. It's no longer trendy....

    GS: There are trends in physics?

    JC: Why not? We have mini-skirts, and our retro periods. In any case, I, myself, seem to be retro. One bright day, I made the mistake of giving a few interviews, publishing articles, and books.

    GS: Why was this a mistake?

    JC: Because I let my "earlobe be pierced." I let it be known that I asked myself questions that were vaguely metaphysical. You can bet that this didn't please my colleagues. [end excerpt]

    For more of that interview, and a picture of J.E.C. see my February 2006 newsletter about this: "THE GREATEST SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY OF ALL TIMES!!!" at [...]%20GREATEST%20SCIENTIFIC%20DISCOVERY%20OF%20ALL%20TIMES.htm

    YOU really should buy and read "The Spirit: That Stranger Inside Us" for YOUR best interest, while YOU can.
