The Beyond Few things can engender compliance like fear, and few fears are more compelling than the fear of the unknown.

Angels Among Us: 'The Beyond'

When faced with ontologically and epistemologically overwhelming forces, the human mind tends to entertain the previously untenable transaction of liberty for security. Thus, the invocation of such forces can be especially advantageous for would-be oligarchs. Those forces, however diverse and dissimilar, fall under a single descriptive appellation: the Beyond. The core commonality that unites them is their origin with that side of reality that has been arbitrarily deemed unknowable. As inhabitants of terra incognita, they are ontologically and epistemologically beyond man. Thus, each one of these supposedly unknown forces constitutes individual manifestations of the Beyond.

Biological Transmutations

Over the past two centuries a large number of experiments with animals, seeds and bacteria have demonstrated that biology is not only a chemical process, but also a nuclear one. It has been demonstrated that some minerals transmute into other minerals. With the development of lowenergy nuclear reactions (cold fusion), this topic is back in the scientific agenda. Very few scientists work in this field, but its importance is such that its further development is crucial.
