Cloud Cuckoo Land

An ideal world where there is a precise correspondence between theory and reality. The world in which economc science functions perfectly.

What would this have looked like for Copernicus?

Somewhere in space, far away from all disturbances, let us imagine a tiny red dwarf, precisely spherical in shape. An exactly spherical planet revolves around the red dwarf in an exactly circular orbit. A small mass, a low rotational speed: even after 10 billion years of observation with the best measuring instruments one wouldn't be able to find a difference between Copernicus, the equations of Newton and Einstein's general relativity equations.

But astronomy didn't need this. Astronomy always took up the challenges set by the new measurements and continually came up with new answers. Even if the deviation between theory and observed reality was only 43 arcseconds, persistent efforts were made over decades to explain this comprehensively, until general relativity theory finally provided the solution.

Economics

Once upon a time there were similarities betwen the economic system in Cloud Cuckoo Land and planet Earth. But this was still a very small economy. The more it grew, the greater the differences became. Meanwhile the differences have become exceedingly large, and have plunged the USA and the EU into a debt crisis.

Sinking standards of living despite more than 100 yeras of technical progress and greatly increased productivity. Why?

In astronomy there are examples where in solar systems with ever greater mass and orbits with greater velocity, the discrepancies in the calculations according to Newton and Einstein became ever greater. Just as the most highly developed national economies of the USA and the EU are most strongly affected by the false calculations of the economic scientists.

Politics - political targets of PEGE
	Nonpolitical, pragmatic, on the other side of ideologies counts in our politic only one target: A long time lasting civilization able to develop further on a stable base.

Philosophy
	Long-term planning and stability have to be the guiding rules of politics. A philosophy based on the mathematic branch of games theory.

Living standard
	What is living standard? How is living standard correctly measured? Is it possible, that our living standard declines drastic, while uncorrect numbers want to make us belive it's like paradise?

Taxes tax politics
	The consequences of the tax politic for humans and environment. The politicians claim to fight for humans and the environment, but the tax politics shows the exact opposit.

Energy politic
	Decades of wrong energy politic. Instead of more living standard with less energy usage, partial the contrary was reached. A result of the wrong tax politic.

The hunt for the culprit has ended
	Since 1991 PEGE has been trying to lead humanity into the solar age, but has met with hard and completely irrational resistance. Who could be mad enough to be against paradise?

What is science? The example of astronomy
	To understand the meaning of unscientific, we need to look at how a serious science is conducted: it is always developing better methods to measure theory against reality.

Club of Rome - "The Limits to Growth" 1972
	The Dr. Hubbert peak oil theory of 1956 was shown to hold true for the USA in 1973, Club of Rome 1972, how was this incorporated in the economic sciences?

The oil crisis and the economic crisis of 2008
	The crisis occurred 35 years after economic scientists failed to include the increasing scarcity of raw materials and alternative strategies in their calculations.

Follow-up environmental costs
	The way economic scientists deal with follow-up costs for the environment. Trusting in a ''science'' that ignores the requirement of survival.

Easy-earned money - hard-earned money
	Most of the costs for transportation and building heat have to be paid with the hardest-earned money: imports can only be paid through foreign exchange assets from exports.
