Scientific Foresight

Homepage http://drchrisbarnes.co.uk

All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident. *

Arthur Schopenhauer, German philosopher (1788 – 1860)

Looking back on my career it has become evident to me now, perhaps not necessarily so when I was younger that I have an amazing capacity for Scientific Foresight, perhaps even one might say bordering on the ‘Visionary’.

I strongly suspect that British Science and Industry may have missed out substantially because grant funders weren’t always prepared to take a gamble on people like me. Looking at the below it is staggering plain to see that the seeds of development I have sown, have nevertheless, eventually become developed.

I have feelings of pride in the below, even though I didn’t reap the benefits myself. God may not have given me riches but at least he BLESSED me with a brain and an ability to think critically and independently which is sadly so lacking in so many in the World today and will, I sincerely believe be of critical importance to pull the World out of the ‘quagmire’ it presently finds itself in.

Date	My Proposal	Realisation (often exploited by others prepared to gamble)
1982	Bio-diodes: Tested and proved concept for amino acids and proteins during my PhD work:  31 years ahead of my time	Letter Droplet networks with incorporated protein diodes show collective properties Giovanni Maglia1, Andrew J.

1989	Stimulated resonance absorption of ultrasound in bio-molecules ( Whilst working on a PostDoc medical ultrasound safety project )  26 years ahead of my time	Stimulated ultrasound absorption in liquids T.

1990	Proposed use of ultrasound for sewage sludge settlement monitoring and commissioned experimental pre-prototype with Welsh Water	Contemporary systems sprang up    worldwide soon after.
1990	QCM ( quartz crystal microbalance) I was probably the first to propose it was far more than just a mass sensor and that it could be used for simultaneous measurement of mass, viscosity and dielectric constant. 16 years ahead of my time	Now mainstream science is able to make use of my discovery JK Duchowski:  Micro-machined Sensors that monitor capacitance or the dielectric constant and respond to fluctuations in the QCM viscosity measurements described And have recently been developed for on-line machinery lubrication monitoring http://www.machinerylubrication.com/Read/963/fluid-condition-monitoring (2006)
1991	Proposed and tested biological amplification techniques to cause QCM to respond to single molecular binding events –e.g. Enzyme –substrate Avidin-Biotin – worked but couldn’t persuade anyone to publish. 26 Years ahead of my time **	2015 QCM-based rapid analysis of DNA F.N.

1991 18 years ahead of my time	I Wrote an advanced research fellowship application to SERC based on QCM above **  and A predictive proposal that it would be valuable In pharmaceutical industry   as an isomerism detector (molecular chirality) Needless to say they were all rejected, I was clearly 20 years too far ahead of my time.	SERC were too short sighted to see this one!

1991 (12 and 24 years ahead of my time)	Wrote a similar proposal to above based on development of a tuneable sono-chemistry system as all applicators were fixed at 22 KHz.  My hypothesis was the sono-chemical reactions ought to be power and frequency spectrum dependent. 14+26 years ahead of my time	And this one!

1992	Contactless Dielectric Blood Analysis All common erythrocyte parameters + anisotropy + time dependence 19 years ahead of my time	2011- main stream University Academic Science (Chinese) agrees with my findings, see     Chen Xiaomin1 Feng Mingjun1,2 Wang Li1,2 Chu Huimin1 Chen Lin2 Ma Qing21(Ningbo No.1 Hospital, Ningbo 315010, China)2(Medical School of Ningbo University, Ningbo 315211, China) Journal of Biomedical Engineering,  2011-04.
