Andrew Joseph Galambos

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Andrew Joseph Galambos (AJG) (born Ifj. Galambos József András; June 27, 1924 in Hungary – April 10, 1997 in Orange County, California) was an astrophysicist and philosopher who presented his revolutionary theories of freedom and Volitional Science in oral lectures through his Free Enterprise Institute from 1961 to 1989 in Los Angeles, California. He developed over 117 courses for FEI's curriculum over a period of twenty-eight years. As Galambos' literary executor, William W. Martin completed the all encompassing "Book One" that the professor intended to have published in written form which Martin published under the title Sic Itur Ad Astra (Latin to English translation: "This is the way to the stars"). Within Sic Itur Ad Astra is the "roadmap to freedom" Course V-201: The Nature and Protection of Primary Property. Galambos explicitly instructed his trustee, Galambos' former lawyer Wayne Joyner, to provide funding from his estate to his literary executor, Martin, to edit, print, and publish his books. Instead, Joyner refused to fund the book and instead used the finances to fund unauthorized projects including the inaccurate, mistake ridden and incomplete Sic Itur Ad Astra Vol. 1 which he pulled off of the market in favor of even more inaccurate heavily edited "digitized courses." Martin was left to fund the project on his own and eventually completed the full book for the professor in the year 2003. Today the company that William W. Martin founded, Spaceland Publications, is carrying forward the ideas of Andrew J. Galambos and upholding his explicit instructions to publish and print Galambos' magnum opus Sic Itur Ad Astra and books of Galambos' other important courses. Sic Itur Ad Astra is a fifteen volume, 6,118 page book containing the exact words of Andrew J. Galambos' most important live presentation lectures including courses V-50, V-50X, V-201 and the Joe Pyne Interview complete with a detailed index innovated by Martin which he named the Concordex.

Overview

Galambos (AJG) defined "freedom" as the societal condition that exists when every individual has full (100%) control over his own property.

Early life

Galambos was born in Hungary in 1924. His father, Joseph Galambos-Brown, had been an officer in the Austro-Hungarian army in World War I and then became a highly regarded architect. After the war, Galambos' father decided to emigrate to America to avoid his son becoming "cannon fodder" in a second world war, which he saw coming.

Despite his father's wish to keep his son out of war, Galambos volunteered to serve in the U.S. Army during WWII. After completing his undergraduate work at City College of New York, he moved to Minnesota in 1948 where he met his future wife, Suzanne Siegel, a fellow student at the University of Minnesota. They married in 1949.

Education

Galambos earned degrees in physics from City College of New York and the University of Minnesota.

Early career

Galambos moved to Los Angeles in 1952 to work for North American Aviation. Beginning in 1958, Galambos worked in the Space Technology Laboratory (STL) division of Ramo-Wooldridge Corporation, which later became TRW Space Technology Laboratories (STL). There, Galambos worked as an astrophysicist, calculating trajectories for Atlas ICBMs before the advent of high-speed digital computers.

As Galambos' ideas on freedom and proprietary government crystallized, he became disillusioned with his work at STL, which had evolved almost exclusively to focus on the development of inter-continental ballistic missiles for military purposes. Galambos did not want to work on weapons of war.

Around 1958–1959 Galambos formulated a proposal to the director of STL, George Mueller, for a project to develop rockets for space exploration, including lunar landings. Mueller turned it down. A few years later, however, Mueller took a position with NASA where he worked on the Apollo 11 human lunar landing project, the same type of project he had turned down when Galambos proposed it to him at STL.

In 1960, Galambos left the aerospace industry and joined the faculty of Whittier College to teach physics, astrophysics, and mathematics. While at Whittier, Galambos presented a popular extracurricular class entitled, "The Decline and Renaissance of Laissez-Faire Capitalism." He also taught previously at New York University, Brooklyn College, Stevens Institute of Technology of Hoboken, New Jersey, the University of Minnesota, and Carleton College of Northfield, Minnesota.

The Free Enterprise Institute

In 1961, Galambos established The Free Enterprise Institute (FEI) which was the name he used for his teaching business. His initial course was entitled Course 100, Capitalism: The Key to Survival. He eventually taught courses on intellectual property, investments and insurance, financial planning, physics, and journalism, among others.

Galambos had an important colleague in Jay Stuart Snelson (1936–2011). Snelson was the senior lecturer for FEI from 1964 to 1978, teaching both V-50 and V-201. Snelson was ultimately fired by Galambos in 1978 for not living up to the theory and for plagiarizing his work.

Courses V-50 and V-201

On March 14, 1961 Andrew J. Galambos founded the Free Enterprise Institute in Los Angeles, CA. On the twentieth of April of that year, he delivered to a paying audience the first formal lecture of the Institute. That lecture and those to follow would constitute what Galambos called Course 100: “Capitalism—The Key to Survival!” That course soon became the antecedent to Course V-50: “Capitalism—The Liberal Revolution.” Course V-50 eventually consisted of sixteen sessions plus three workshops.

In the fall of 1964, Professor Galambos introduced a twelve-session course he called F-201: The Theory of Primary Property. This was later named “V-201,” in which he taught the nature of primary property (thoughts, ideas and actions) and how freedom, which was the product of total Capitalism, could be built for the first and only time in history. Whereas course V-50 was deemed by him to be the cosmological portion of the theory, course V-201 was the technological portion.

By the year 1968 Professor Galambos determined that his V-50 lectures had reached publishable maturity. But it would still take another nine years before he would discover how they should read in printed form.

Between 1964 and 1977 Galambos honed and perfected course V-201, which he deemed to be the technological roadmap, or blueprint, revealing the “natural republic”—a free society where each individual is in 100% control of their own property. This was a concept he introduced in course V-50 but took to a much higher level in course V-201.

At the end of the academic year of 1977, Galambos announced that V-201 had received its finishing touch. That oral presentation consisted of forty-eight sessions and three workshops. Together courses V-50 and V-201 constitute a unified theory called the theory of volition.

Volitional science

Volitional Science is Galambos' term for so-called "social science," however, unlike social "science", which is not a true science at all, Volitional Science is a true science derived exclusively through the use of the scientific method. It is derived through physical science, physics, and he said that Volitional Science is the third science after physics and biology. It's a science in which Capitalism is a derivative and therefore an alternative to, and complete replacement of, all political mechanisms.

Property

Galambos defined property as a volitional being’s life and all non-procreative derivatives thereof. This includes one’s physical being (primordial property), one’s thoughts, ideas and actions (primary property), and tangible derivatives of one’s life such as money, houses, automobiles, etc. (secondary property). Sic Itur Ad Astra, V-50: Session 1, Part A, pp. 22-24.

Death

Galambos was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease and died on April 10, 1997.
