Syncrometer Science Laboratory Manual

Everybody knows that you can walk up to a structure and measure its lengthâ€¦with a ruler of some kind. This simple bit of technology grew into architecture when geometry and trigonometry were added. You can walk up to a battery and measure its voltageâ€¦with a voltmeter. This bit of technology grew into the industry of electricity with all of its subdivisions like power, electronics and communications. But you canâ€™t walk up to another person and find out anything about their internal workings. The field of human biology has lagged far behind other areas of study.
The discovery of the SyncrometerÂ®, like the ruler and the voltmeter, should change that. With it you can approach any human being or animal and soon know what is present and what is happening at different locations, be it tiny, as in a brown fleck on your skin or large as your leg bone. We can expect that as the technology grows many people will get involved, not just some ivory tower researchers.
At present, the SyncrometerÂ® is in its infancy, like radio, telephone, air flight, television and computers once were. So a degree of personal skill must be acquired, making it partly an art. But, hopefully, you will find this new technology as exciting, even more so, as the other arts and sciences.
Innovation will surely move the SyncrometerÂ® along toward automation. Then the scientific skills rather than the art will get the most emphasis. But you need not wait. If you can hear the difference between notes on a musical scale and have perseverance to learn the new skill you can easily master this new technology. What could be more exciting than searching your own stomach or head for what might be causing pains there; searching your heart and arteries for the beginning of heart disease; searching a tumor for what is inside and why itâ€™s there?
You can be a true scientist. But what is science and who is a scientist? It is not the person with a Ph.D., holding a professional job at an institution of learning. It is not the person teaching a class in chemistry, physics or math. It is a person with curiosity, a searcher for truths. But to be a scientist at heart is different from being a real scientist. The real scientist actually pursues a truth and expresses her/his curiosity to see, to hear, to measure, to watch how things happen. Thatâ€™s not all. You must write down what you saw, heard, measured, and watched. Maybe youâ€™ll discover something from all this searching; maybe not. But that is part of the fun. There is always the suspense of finding the answer to a riddle with just weak clues around you.
Many new sciences got their start at the grassroots level, not through academic training. There are many open doors you can enter to find your own niche. The magazine Popular Science once gave nearly everybody a creative hobby. Creativity can charm us again, this time as Popular Health (see the fictitious example).
Remember to observe the elementary rules and reflections for both young and old scientists, both academically trained and less academically trained:
1.Be kind.
2.Everyone makes mistakes.
3.We are often wrong.
4.We know hardly anything yet.
5.The truth is much more complicated than we ever thought.
6.Encourage the young.
7.Give your best ideas away, after savoring them awhile.
8.There is an explanation for everything, even inconsistencies.
9.Everything has a cause.
10. Never make explanations that are dead ends so there can
be no further experimentation.

It is a way of finding knowledge. You see, you hear, you feel, and you measure. Then you think. You organize. You create an idea to explain it all. This idea must be something that allows you to experiment further, not a dead end. You test your idea with challenging questions. You repeat your work. Others repeat your work. They find the same things although they may explain them differently. You listen to everybody working on the same phenomenon.
