THE RAS PROGRAM “OPTICAL COMPUTER” AND ITS CONSEQUENCES
Abstract
Within the framework of the RAS program “Optical Computer” during the study of the possibility of creating optical resonators in which a light wave circulates in homogeneous glass, it was found that such a possibility has already been realized in the form of ball lightning in the Earth’s atmosphere.
As a result, an optical model of ball lightning appeared according to which ball lightning is simply circulating light, that is, an object whose existence is difficult to believe without additional convincing evidence. Such evidence was obtained. Numerous articles have shown the complete similarity of the anomalous behavior of natural ball lightning, which is based on many years of numerous eyewitness accounts, with the behavior of circulating light in the atmosphere, which follows from the simple laws of physics and optics. Moreover, it turned out that in nature, there is a whole world of circulating light consisting of objects with anomalous properties. This made it possible to explain another no less mysterious phenomenon of single-bubble sonoluminescence. Two books on this topic have been published in New York and London. Thus, the consequence of the Optical Computer program was the discovery of a new world of circulating light with unusual objects that may be in demand in computing technology.
