Three Versions of Cosmology

There are several views on cosmology structures, the Lamda CDM is one with GR and Spacetime and that contrasts with Newton's idea of the void (modify that to be a void without time at all rather than 'absolute time’ of Newton that GR shows to be incorrect. They throw out the idea of a pre-existent /eternal/timeless void with GR. A modern theory that may surpass the voodoo Lamda Cold Dark Matter CDM model is one that has space-time and all of the contingent-entangled Universe being comparable to an illusion that occurs on or from an underlying timeless realm.

I asked Gemini to compare the GR Big Bang model of space-time with Newton’s void. I believe the GR model of space-time expansion occurred within the void, while math of the Lamda CDM model and GR ignore the void altogether and just consider space-time of the Universe. If the Lamda CDM model cosmology is contingent the no-space void seems like a suitable host ‘structure’ for faster-than light entanglement to pass through instantly.

End Ukraine War Even if Zelensky Wants to Keep it Going

 If President Trump wants the Ukraine war to end he should stop supporting it militarily. Zelensky will play him for as long as he can wile seeking to replace American support with European support. When he achieves a significant amount of European based intelligence and weapons supplies he will have no reason to stop the conflict until a Russian sabotage and reconnaissance squad knocks o his door and asks him to.

President Trump should get some kind of understanding with President Putin where he will stop the Russian advance if and when American stops supplying Ukraine with the means to continue the conflict and Russia begins a quick advance into Ukrainian positions in the aftermath. President Trump needs to know that Russia won’t simply seek to conquer all of Ukraine.

President Trump can well approach ending the war without the cooperation of Ukraine. If Russia agrees to stop after achieving select territorial goals that President Trump can accept, such as are located on the East bank of the Dnepr, and Ukraine though essentially defeated will not quit hostilities, it may be necessary to bring in some other military forces- possibly those of Vietnam or Kenya to reinforce Russian positions along the settled border that Ukraine won’t accept. The United States could place sanctions on Ukraine until they recognize the new Russia-Ukraine border.

Zelensky and Putin both should be honest and forthright with President Trump. President Trump needs to apply realpolitik to military parameters to bring the war to an end even though Senators Schiff and Schumer may not like it.

Binge-Reading Science Fiction

I read sf in the 70's-usually stuff-Herbert, Clarke, Heinlein, Asimov etc as well as philosophy, science and history that i continued along with the Bible. I took a science fiction course and a fiction to film course in the 80's yet generally my three main focuses continued until I decided to complete college undergrad work after taking a programming and systems analysis program at a business college. Science became a place for inventive synthetic speculation, and one could easily be swamped with interesting discoveries in science published in Nature, Scientific American, New Scientist etc. I took a two-year M.A. course in theology to better understand theology, and read a lot of books on physics, Multiverses from people like John D. Barrow etc (i.e. The Book of Universes). Recently I discovered P.R. Adams and I binge read his books. Really a greatly entertaining science fiction author.

Kant's Categories Were Mile Markers for Cognition

 I don't know of a better schema than the posteriori, a priori and synthetic a priori. It's just a stage on life’s philosophical way of developing understanding of mind and its place in nature. With quantum mechanics knowledge and the Higgs field basically affirming Kant’s position on the noumenon Kant’s outlook remains solid enough. It doesn’t preclude Platonic realism concerning forms and theories about how quanta are configured; yet no one understands the deepest layers of space-time these days.

People speculate about what supports the quantum entanglement Universe phenomena in four dimensions and it is just theory. String theorists proposed 11 dimensions with just four manifested yet it seems more logical that just two dimensions underlie the Universe of entanglement and the doubling of dimensions is an emergent phenomenon of entanglement. It is popular these days to use the Plank length as a mystic limit below which marvelous things such as a Multiverse occurs with very tiny people of angelic disposition living as it were, on the head of pins, yet the limits of verification are obvious- the right answer could be just two dimensions and then nothingness from which something emerged with the Word of God.

Schopenhauer attempted to continue Kant's work in The Fourfold Roots of Reason with a more physicalist approach and though it starts out brilliantly and narcissistically, it peters out with theories about the eye and optics.

Plato’s realism could be reverse engineered in a way from Aristotle's classifications and categories maybe. Sorting forms of things perceived into categories of forms that break down in the temporal implicitly leads to a theory of forms that don’t break down. That reminds me of atomic structure theories and the Pauli exclusion principle that just one electron can be in an orbit and if two, one must have an opposite spin. 

Kant’s work was great for a couple of centuries ago. People have advanced the realm of knowledge, theory and uncertainty since. Like the thousands of people that have tried to disprove Descartes’ Meditations they might develop instead a better appreciation of the contribution and not try to put new wine into old wineskins.

Bigger than a Bread-box, the Universe Isn't a Neural Network

 The Universe of four dimensions may be an emergent concatenation of quantum entanglements of a primary two-dimensional Universe. It would probably be an error to assume that a Universe could from nothing configure itself in four dimensions as a neural network. It is also perhaps logically incorrect to guess that the Universe appeared from more than four dimensions to start with-as in 11 dimensions or something complex rather than irreducibly simple. God could have issued one dimension and let it double to two and that filled with massless waveicles. When those entangled one and two dimensions have four, inflation and the Big Drum follow with the expanded Universe. Inside black holes four dimensions may reduce to two then one and probably not quite zero dimensions. Expecting a neural network to appear in one organic Universe arising from nothing except the will of God is like expecting evolution to generate a very complex human-type organism from microbes immediately, and that does seem improbable.

Tesla Need Jobs-Style Innovations to Remain Competitive

 Tesla needs to continue to improve its product and deliver new forms of electric vehicles. Musk should take a page from Steve Jobs playbook and innovate better. Maybe electric ATVs and portable solar recharging panels are a way to go.

Assuredly Tesla's aren't convertibles or jeepish. The Tesla truck while innovative is ugly and one can't lay a 4x8 sheet of plywood in the back, like many modern trucks that really aren't useful as pick ups.

Neither does Tesla produce Dune Buggies. The range of the product line is limited and better, cheaper foreign competition undermines the sales. Teslas are just too bloody expensive. Maybe tariffs on the competition will save Tesla.

President Trump Considers Royal Status with a Third Term

 President Trump has mentioned seeking a third term recently much to the disservice of himself and the nation. He should remember that he was only elected because he was the least objectionable candidate and Democrats were reprehensible deplorables since the Clintons sought to become royals and the Pelosi, Schumer, Adam Schiff, Bernie Madler lunacy became the norm for the party.

Independents would not vote for Trump if he made himself or other candidates eligible for third terms in some way. Americans want progress, prosperity, a secure environment and freedom from the tyranny of elite rich or aloof classes of swells that hate democracy really and prefer to elevate themselves as aristocrats. A billionaire third term is a disgusting concept. Would be royals think the country has few people qualified to be President beside themselves. The nation needs rotation and fresh personnel in the White house every four or eight years- not stagnant cultists enriching themselves.

Democrat politicians seek wealth for themselves and seem insane on budget and border security issues. They believe liberalism means Dionysian extremes rather than economics and cannot comprehend what classical liberalism was or the importance of not espousing homosexuality and abortion as essential planks of their platform. Because of that, and their unwillingness to balance the federal budget, lunatic Republicans with at least a modicum of common sense get elected while providing bad examples of civility. It would be great if a third party candidate could be elected with President Trump’s good points, and none of his or the Democrat Party’s bad points. I have no idea why the nation runs and elects such bottom of the barrel politicians with bad judgment as they have following the ending of the Cold War. Indeed a case of the ass overcame American leadership.

Dionysian Post-Modern Liberalism Seeks to Take the Metaphysics High Ground

 Interesting idea-A Finnish philosopher- Jussi Backman writes that anti-liberal theory of reality is arising that allows local, national self-determination of metaphysics points instead of accepting a post-modern idea of liberalism. The conservative approach is supposed to be accepted by Russian President Putin. So Mr. Putin is not only a nationalist seeking national self-realization through history, he is anti-liberal! Evidently N.A.T.O. members need war on metaphysics as well as Russia from a Finnish perspective. Capturing the high ground on the metaphysics battleground might be regarded as a patriotic duty for post-modern liberals in the war of expansion eastward.

Reading Sein und Zeit in translation long ago didn’t provide great illumination for me as Heidegger’s pursuit of the roots of language seemed too located in philology for my preference. Nietzsche was another philologist German searching for something that he found in a sort of science fiction madness of eternal recurrence rendering meaningless the society and its moral values he perceived as ultimately ossified. Sartre’s approach to existence and an account for human behavior through ossified praxis, semiotics and phenomenal dialectical reason seemed more functional and immediate. I don’t regard any of that as metaphysics though, except in a minor, derivative way.

I took a course at coursera named ‘Søren Kierkegaard – Subjectivity, Irony and the Crisis of Modernity’ that was a broad view of society comparing Kierkegaard and Socrates view of social irony and the way the masses are acculturated. Socrates began the process of examining social beliefs and deconstructing them revealing their unsupported basis and incorrect assumptions. The course is somewhat droll from an American perspective and simultaneously brilliant. One encounters the left-wing Hegelians and followers of 19th century German romanticism with their disdain for social morals. I recommend the course for anyone. That last part makes it quite worthwhile.

https://www.coursera.org/learn/kierkegaard

Europeans though seem quite confused about social reality, philosophically. I think Sartre had the analysis right. Europeans have been traumatized by war and were splintered into nations and evolved from different cultures, had a sea of different social classes and economic theories for correcting that (e.g. Karl Marx). Ideas about unifying and overcoming the differences jostled with racism North-South, colonialism, post-colonialism (e.g. Algeria, Kenya, South Africa) and dynastic changes in leadership (e.g. French and german revolutions) brought a lot of self-reflection and a quest for theories to explain it all.

Ortega y Gasset’s ‘The Revolt of the Masses’ anticipated World War Two and examined the effect of new economic effects of modern technology like radio and mass production of cars and such upon society. Europeans have created a lot of theories about ‘metaphysics’ to explain their trans-nationalism and wars of conquest even upon each other as fellow, rival nations, religions and theories. Even evolution is a basis for eugenics theories of supremacy (i.e. fascism) and supports post-modernist interpretations of liberalism that rendered western liberalism a into a kind of Frankenstein’d upgrade to the Cult of Dionysius in the name of Orwell’s soma and a Big Brother State wherein morality and epistemology are entirely subjective phenomena. If one takes western liberalism as originating with Jesus Christ, God (the Jews wanted a king, God wanted Jews to have a democracy, yet because the Jews insisted he sent them Saul who was wandering about trying to find his missing ass, to be their King). Magna Carta and Adam Smith’s economics it is a hard graft of decadent morals of the modern left onto the tree of liberalism to bring it to bare a poisoned fruit that splinters society along lines of traditional moral norms and Dionysian values.

Effacing traditional morality to replace it with post-modern Dionysian liberalism occurs simultaneously with the global concentration of wealth. In the post-industrial global state individualism of the masses conserving their personal wealth is replaced by consumerism and mass indoctrination in marketplace values set by those with no moral boundaries. This notion of western liberalism as an agent of universal global right to power is a cultural imperialism at war on good sense and reason; better suited for a mileau of post-industrial Dionysian liberal use of mind-altering drugs.

Europeans will generate new and surpassing theories of social reality entitling them to run roughshod over Russians and anyone else that seems resistant to their will-to-political power. The problem isn’t with liberal economics or environmental economics and challenges or metaphysics; it is simply in failing human understanding and pragmatism and premises of classical liberalism that is rooted in the properties of rights, and right of property that is the foundation of the American west. Post-modern liberalism is at war on classical liberalism and would concert it into socialism or Dionysian socialism/corporatism. In either case the individual loses the right of self determination as do nations.

Europeans are simply confused about social reality because it concatenates from so many languages and directions. An external unifying opponent tends to overcome the confusion. They invent a challenge and provide a response for themselves- hence the Ukraine conflict that could easily have been avoided and/or solved peacefully with a proper rectification of the carpet-bagging land grab at the end of the Soviet Union that divested Russian of historically Russian real estate.

Hitler's Concluding Military Tactics are Comparable to Zelensky's (video)

 An interesting video about Hitler's final period fighting the Soviets and the West show that he was detached from reality. Not a comedian of course, yet he was a corporal rather than a general officer with good judgment. He hadn't the option of wheedling  from wealthy supporters as a strategy either.

A Reply to Effort for New Logging in the Tongass

 I observed tree growth facts from the decades of living in the forest reasonably well. Muskeg areas, peripherals spaces and well-drained slopes for comparative purposes. I saw the different orders of appearance of repopulating with trees , in a manner of speaking pine, then red cedar, sometimes yellow, spruce and the two kinds of hemlock with the late arrival of fir that occurs in the different kinds of drainage areas. I know that wolves don't like to share space with humans because people walking about in crunchy snow interferes with deer hunting. Rowing between Prince Rupert and Juneau one can compare the areas with real old growth from so much regrowth over the past century and human effects of development from roads and boats. The ecosystem is a contiguous fact with one thing- like barge and other boat traffic leaving influences in their wake. Pea plants grow along the shore in various places as do tall feral grains. Deciduous trees crowding in along the beach aren’t found in the interior.

People degrade the environment rather than improve it. They accelerate entropy. That's why wildlife declines, fishing collapses, etc. Puget Sound and the Willamette Valley are laboratory examples for the destruction of Alaskan environmental health. Washington and Oregon achieved that long ago. Without conservation and new ways of using theoretically sustainable resources the system tends to collapse. Maybe A.I. will find an optimal way to use sustainable resources someday that won't harm human prospects on Earth.

There are several stumps from logging in the Mill Creek days that remain- what 120 year old stumps of very large size. One can see what has grown around them in the time passed, is not too large. A hundred-twenty year old tree is what- two and a half or three feet in diameter? It is the concatenated affect of human work degrading-never improving the ecosystem is the problem. nature does not recover or evolve nearly so quickly. There is plastic on beaches from Wrangell to Farragut Bay where there is some Older growth forest rather nice to walk through. Wild forests are a major sink absorbing much CO2 and filtering out other impacts of human exploitation of the ecosystem. As the wild Earth vestiges perish and the ecosphere is treated as a farm there are a lot of subtle harmful losses of ecosystem services adversely affecting human prospects on Earth. People are not bright enough to manage the ecosphere themselves yet- God's provisioning of a healthy supportive ecosphere should be respected rather than erased.

Tourism is also a natural resource. Logging adversely impacts it as people don't spend thousands to see logging cuts. Long ago I thought of the northward exodus of people from California to Oregon, Washington, Montana and Alaska. Resumption of large scale logging will probably stimulate more destruction of the S.E. ecosystem and that will bring development of more roads and housing. Hundreds of thousands of aliens may move north too for cheap labor when Trump is gone and Democrats resume their policies. I believe forest conservation is the best way to keep S.E. Alaska somewhat wild. Not a lot of wild remains in the U.S.A.; people favor slaughtering it. Then the fishing gets even worse- https://www.udio.com/songs/m2Ew6wpxksuzVEJ9dXTTju

-There were more comments and then the inevitable personal attacks started. I wrote the following in reply to one.

 I simply expressed my dissent on logging. Ecospheric destruction seems like a low-IQ kind of venture in the present situation on Earth. On public issues and matters of public governance everyone has a right to provide their opinion. That is a part of democracy that the nation fails without. The strength of western civilization is in the diversity of opinion. People listen to themselves and if they choose, learn the opinions of others; sapere aude. 

Anyone with some education ought to not be silent and let the bottom of the barrel dominate things without anyone saying bad ideas are bad. You may regard political free expression as hypocritical. So might the Klan, fascists of various sorts and organized crime. Democrats in social media often make personal attacks on people they don't identify as one of their own kind rather than address issues. I have other writing to do yet will defend myself so long as people attack even on onerous subjects. A certain segment of Wrangell is intolerant of political pluralism in regard to opinions. They keep running on forever if someone posts something they don't like. Everyone who lives in the borough should expect some measure of fiduciary equality of interest and resource investment by the city.

Replying to 'If God is Perfect He Would Make a Perfect World'

 “If God is perfect then he would create a perfect world, with perfect bodies and minds of his children.”- said a writer. Perfection simply means to copy an original exactly or to follow a standard or reach a target goal without sin (missing the mark). Any creation of God would be less than God and therefor imperfect. Yet originals don’t need to be perfect because they aren’t copies; they are what they are. One must stipulate that whatever God creates is perfect because it is His original creation. In the divine economy of God creatures with free will need to be able to meet certain moral and intelligence standards or be lost to worse hells than are imaginable. The fallen need rely on the grace of God for donated perfection/course correction through The Son Jesus Christ.

Plotinus allowed broken forms to exist- imperfections. The world is of the fallen. The Bible is said to describe actions of evil caused by people as wickedness, natural calamities as evil. Thermodynamics are at the core of the quantum entangled Universe. People cannot even interpret Genesis correctly, much less make general theories about it that are valid. Do most know what the protoevangelium is? It seems evident that Adam and Eve (adamas means brown dirt in Semitic languages) were tested temporally and after failing to meet the mark of obedience placed into a pre-existing world. Eden may have been located in Younger Dryas lower Mesopotamia. It was a time when humans differentiated themselves from animals by demonstrating that they knew they were naked and lnew the difference between good and evil. Do even chimps or ravens know they are naked? The first human proto-civilizations began around 14-15 thousand years B.C. God is far more advanced than the creatures he lets exist in his contingent Universe. Bible exegesis may develop on many levels simultaneously, and they tend to reflect one’s level of knowledge at the time.

The Destined Chimp Genius of Government?

 Artificial General Intelligence is supposed to be a great improvement over the present deep learning A.I.s it should be able to communicate about anything without anyone noticing a difference between a human and itself, except for it being far smarter. A.I.s will never become conscious unless or until someone makes an effort for it to be so. programming code written in any way won't become self-aware. Probably it would need to be an organic model of something with a mind that with the A.G.I upgrade becomes self-aware. Maybe a chimp brain could someday be fused with A.G.I. so it could become The Great Ape Genius Ruling Humanity.

I asked Gemini for a joke; "A philosophy professor is teaching a class, and he asks, "If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?"

A student raises their hand and says, "Depends. Is anyone filming it for TikTok?""

Pres Trump Should Court Greenland with Snow Cones and Chocolate

Getting Congress to pass a Baffin Bay Resolution to enable a military entry to Greenland after an attack by Greenlanders on a U.S. Naval warship wouldn't have much credibility. President Trump need go about the acquisition through constitutional means. That means Greenland need chose to petition Congress to join the U.S.A.  Buy them something they need like a vast supply of snow cones and they might. want to become Americans.

Alternatively he might approach the security criterion through some sort of 100 year agreement for management as in developing the Panama canal  (the Hay–Bunau-Varilla Treaty) . Technically the United States does not have a history of expanding through force. President Trump needs to sound better and more lawful in his intentions. To go about taking Greenland through force would be an impeachable offense as a high crime. There is no reason for the President to create his own vulnerability.  

Upwelling Dimensions of Place-Time (poetry)

 

Upwelling time of local entanglements
quanta snared in the Higgs Field
filled perceptions of space-time
the host is timeless
directions to everywhere
relativity somewhere
place of notations

Infinite combinations for worldlines
mindful of the modge panc
rhymes of chords, algorithms du nord
cycles of illusions, with fusions
assortments of perceptions
cogitations ordered relations
conceptions of creativity

Timeless, massless level one scuppers
exude time with places quantum entanglements
crochets’ dimensional strings flung
Universes of mass
all phases of frosting guns
hot mass cooling on
windows sills of temporality.

Gates Said Just Three Jobs Will Survive AI

 Bill Gates said recently that just three jobs will exist after AI replaces all others eventually; coder, energy analyst and philosopher (joking about that- it was something else). Already on blogspot AI exists to edit and improve posts. I suppose FB will use that too sooner rather than later. Everyone will have AI assisted writing. Illiterates will tell an AI what to write for them in the style of Hemingway or Shakespeare. AI will wait on hold for a government official or business to clarify some matter and then talk to the other AI in your voice when it answers so humans won't need to be bothered with trivial matters. Humans will oversleep and dream about being with elites on the Martian wilderness hot-tubbing under glass filtered from cosmic rays and other radiation.

Time as an Illusion of Quantum Entanglement

 I'm not an expert on the theory. It's a tough new paradigm to think about. I will describe my point of view about it though.

It is a theory derived from quantum mechanics. You probably know about quantum entanglement and how entangled particles seem to be able to exchange information faster than light, even if they are dozens of miles or theoretically thousands or millions of miles apart. Einstein called that ‘spooky action at a distance’. He was a skeptic.

Quantum entanglement has been demonstrated numerous times experimentally. The explanation for that is that time does not exist in a deeper reality more fundamental than the one humans experience in the Universe of mass and space. It is an interesting paradigm to consider.

Plato thought about a timeless realm of forms apart from this Universe and its content of mass, He thought an original form or blueprint of the structure of everything that exists in this Universe existed originally in that metaphysical realm; everything is this Universe is an imperfect copy of a blueprint from that realm. Some of the copies are broken forms.

Plotinus- a neo-Platonist philosopher who St. Augustine followed before converting to Christianity, developed an entire book named The Enneads (it means 54 tracts) to describe the relationship of The One (aka. God), The Intelligence (comparable to the Word of God), the Realm of Forms and the world created. The realm of forms is timeless and The One is ineffable and unapproachable. Jesus Christ said that no one has seen The Father except himself, and that if you have seen him you have seen God.

The physics of the new theory are equally without time. There was a physicist named Hugh Everett who invented a Multiverse theory based on statistics I believe it was. He worked for a government military think tank and speculated that instead of a wave-function collapse when quantum particles are observed (one can determine position or speed yet not both simultaneously, logically) a new universe exists matching the new information of the particle. He thought there were an infinite number of Universes in existence, perhaps without time in any (they are fully developed from alpha to omega already (maybe God created or thinks them) and though just travels to an appropriate Universe matching his though development. Time doesn’t exist in that paradigm either, although mind-experience does.

https://suno.com/song/be7bdcca-445b-4b5c-a7b6-fab53f78dcb9?sh=Mu6pX3CNRRgb2hvr

One tends to regard time as a linear sequence experienced objectively. The new theory paradigm is that time is created by quantum entanglement and the human mind perceives that in its one-after-another-way as time. The quantum entanglement of all mass in the Higgs field is one where massless two-dimensional particles pick up an emergent third dimension borrowed from the Higgs field.  A human mind observing that phenomena prefers to structure it as space-time ala Einstein and relativity.

N.A.S.A. made a video on that. Maybe there are fewer dimensions rather than higher dimensions below the apparent four dimensions of experience. Massless two-dimensional particles in a two dimensional framework that when entangled in some way double- the forumla 2 + 2 = 4 explains the theory. https://youtu.be/tc7LpJswIZU?si=r2pkto_FrKBoxm20

Obvious questions arise if time does not exist except as an emergent characteristic generated in a human mind by collapsing wave-functions or switching to matching, appropriate Universes (Max Tegmark elaborated n that as a level four universe in ‘The Mathematical Universe’. One cannot time travel forward if time is not real. If time is not real can humans travel about the mass entanglement universe layer faster than light via the static pre-exist Universe (or becoming massless two-dimensional information themselves)? If space-time is only an emergent and not an ultimate fact in the Universe as people exist in level two rather than level one, can spatial locations be any more real than time?

Socrates was the Gold Medal Winner in Ancient Philosophy (Christ is God)

Plato's realm of forms has similarities with the contemporary theory of time as an illusion since it is an emergent characteristic, locally, of quantum entanglement. A substrate, fundamental reality without time is thought to be actual. Human perceptions of the heterodox provide a time experience. This is comparable to Tegmark's level four Multiverse paradigm derived I suppose from Everett's many world hypothesis. Socrates is the crowd favorite for Gold; what other ancient philosopher seems so familiar? https://suno.com/.../1fbfcf61-ab8b-42da-9140-a2153daf0934...

Pres Trump Gets Phase 1 of Containing the Ukraine Conflict Signed

President Trump has accomplished getting Ukraine and Russia to agree to terms that reduce the scale of the war somewhat. It is called a partial cease fire. That is comparable to a partial silence; an oxymoron yet meaningful in comparison to a reduction of noise level from a higher level.

Ukraine and Russia agree to keep their ships in neutral corners east and west of the Black Sea although Russia will have access to the Mediterranean via the middle and southern parts of that body of water through Turkey. Russia needs merchant ship access to the world to trade food commodities since the U.S.A. is lifting several sanctions on Russian agriculture and food related trade. Ukraine agreed not to use ships to bring weapons to Odessa and the south shore of Ukraine.

Each side won't attack energy facilities for thirty days, although since Russia began its cease fire on Ukraine energy sites a few days earlier the 30 days for each art occur on a slightly different schedule/

This is all good news. Maybe hungry Africans will get some food relief and American farmers may have better export markets indirectly lowering the cost of bread in the U.S.A. if farmers won't under-plant worried about poor export markets for surplus grain (a theory of mine).

Drones Will Help Extirpate Endangered Species

A globe with ten billion people (two billion rural residents weren't counted reportedly) saturated with silent small drones useful to poachers for hunting endangered yet valuable species will accelerate the demise of wild animals. Poachers will exploit the cost effectiveness of drones as sentinels to protect pouching operations from game wardens. Even night vision capable drones will be used to find hidden human law enforcement agents lurking in the bush. I would guess human traffickers are upgrading their scouting missions to locate border security personnel in the field as well.

Virtue Signaling the Attack on Houthi Mob

 SecDef Hegseth spilled the beans on Signal providing timing of his well-designed retaliatory attack on Yemen. Like Babe Ruth pointing out where he was going to hit the ball out of the park the Secretary of Defense described for his party conference on Signal the timing and location of the impending successful American strike to degrade the capacity of Houthi terrorists to attack free shipping in the approach to the Suez canal/Red Sea, Israel and other locations with missiles and drones. Yemen launched a hypersonic missile to attack Israel June 19, 2024 and a day or two ago.  https://trt.global/world/article/3edeb1dfef9c

Such advanced weapons were supplied manufactured by the Houthis themselves, perhaps with support from Iran. A website says the Palestine-2 missile travels at Mach 16 speed. That seems a bit fast. Mach 6 is more probable.    https://armyrecognition.com/military-products/army/missiles/hypersonic-missiles/palestine-2-hypersonic-missile

Any use of social media tools for secure defense purposes is a bad idea unless one wants to leak information. Even Starlink if it chose to do so might be able to monitor Ukraine’s military communications on its system and provide that content to the Russian military if Ukraine continued to be non-compliant with following President Trump’s peace initiative criterion. Using signal and including an Atlantic reporter on the list of people sharing the data was surreptitious bragging or an example of why not to trust the internet with defense secrets; even encrypted open-source sites like Signal. https://signal.org/

Time in Everett-Tegmark's Level Four Multiverse is an Illusion

 Contemporary theory is that time may not exist and is simply a contingent effect of quantum entanglement 'locally'. With relativity as a continuing operating premise, it is just physical change that occurs without time being an item apart in-itself. If time is an emergent phenomenon of quantum entanglement it may be possible to learn and duplicate various relevant quantum structures to relocate or reconstruct 'time'.

Current theories of time as an emergent characteristic created by quantum entanglement interacting for a temporal order with a human mind suggest that the Universe may already be fully, temporally existent such that it has not time. Neither is there causality. Further; nothing is an accident. A recent N.A.S.A. video explains what is in effect the Everett many worlds criteria developed to Tegmark's level four Multiverse. The point is made at the end of the video.    https://youtu.be/tc7LpJswIZU

Locke and the Obligation to Revolt

The Declaration of Independence shares and follows by about 90 years Locke's premise about an obligation to revolt when government is corrupt and inimical to the public good. Locke wrote about that in 'Two Treatises on Government'. Failing to defend the borders though, only required electing some other leader. Violence should be the last choice rather than the first.

Locke wrote in the  Second Treatise on Government; 149 “Though in a Constituted Commonwealth, standing upon its own Basis, and acting according to its own Nature, that is, acting for the preservation of the Community, there can be but one Supream Power, which is the Legislative, to which all the rest are and must be subordinate, yet the Legislative being only a Fiduciary Power to act for certain ends, there remains still in the People a Supream Power to remove or alter the Legislative, when they find the Legislative act contrary to the trust reposed in them. For all Power given with trust for the attaining an end, being limited by that end, whenever that end is manifestly neglected, or opposed, the trust must necessarily be forfeited, and the Power devolve into the hands of those that gave it, who may place it anew where they shall think best for their safety and security. And thus the Community perpetually retains a Supream Power of saving themselves from the attempts and designs of any Body, even of their Legislators, whenever they shall be so foolish, or so wicked, as to lay and carry on designs against the Liberties and Properties of the Subject. For no Man, or Society of Men, having a Power to deliver up their Preservation, or consequently the means of it, to the Absolute Will and arbitrary Dominion of another; whenever any one shall go about to bring them into such a Slavish Condition, they will always have a right to preserve what they have not a Power to part with; and to rid themselves of those who invade this Fundamental, Sacred, and unalterable Law of Self-Preservation, for which they enter'd into Society. And thus the Community may be said in this respect to be always the Supream Power, but not as considered under any Form of Government, because this Power of the People can never take place till the Government be dissolved.”

Artificial General Intelligence and Quantum Entanglement

Plainly though, someone could program AGI to seek to bond, infuse ts own code into other programs and multiply itself without even thinking about that. It would be like a very smart virus.

It may that Tegmark’s level four Universe does exist and time is nothing more than an emergent effect of quantum entanglement with the mind switching about into appropriate Universes in its own world-line of experience. An AGI probably could not do that, unless humans first learned how they do that without being aware of it themselves. Why humans may have that ability is a mystery. https://youtu.be/tc7LpJswIZU

Logic is Universal

 Logic is a way of ordering ideas for analysis. Like grammars of different languages there are some common structures. If humans or other species have ideas that may be ordered in order for clarification they may be represented in formal systems. Formal logic isn’t a closed or exclusive system. They may be said to exist in model universes, for their are numerous varieties of formal logic system. Quine in a book named ‘Methods of Logic’ described the “fell swoop” method of constructing your own system of logic.

https://archive.org/details/methodsoflogic0000quin_m7n0

A sentient species have a way of interpreting the heteronomy of perception they are bound to experience. One may apply a method of logic to analyze the language or structure of ideas concerning intentional thought, as well as extensional thought concerning the heteronomy (although some species may have surpassed heteronomy to render all objective experience subjective so for them the Universe-mind experience is an autonomy, yet I am skeptical that any species in the Universe has achieved the ‘little god’ status and graduated to eternal boredom.

The logical system that a species uses, or rather systems, are constructions of the species. I think it likely that some logical systems would be discovered or invented by diverse and unrelated species, as some mathematics would be likely to be developed by species in the Andromeda Galaxy for instance. https://suno.com/…/376fb6f0-d4c0-4011-ab97-b194e982e9e5…

Zelensky Is Exploiting Trump to Protract the War

 President of Ukraine Zelensky seems to be playing Donald Trump in order to lever war advantages. He has attacked Russian energy targets while Russia didn't attack energy targets after the lists of energy targets not to attack were exchanged.

President Zelensky has also demanded a replacement for Trumps special envoy Steve Witkoff who is negotiating the peace process for President Trump.  Steve Witkoff said Mr. Zelensky, is a Russian puppet. It may be that Zelensky wants someone appointed by Obama or Biden who will agree with his intention to protract the war.

In order to bring the war to a conclusion President Trump should stop provide military intelligence fro the Pentagon to Ukraine. While the U.S. provides intelligence Mr. Zelensky will continue to attack special Russian targets with remaining military missile and drones provided by the United States and sundry European powers that lust to make war. Zelensky and European N.A.T.O. allies remind me of when I visited Nome during the Cold War and saw a poster of B-52s dropping dozens of large bombs with the caption "Pray for War'.

Pres Trump Can Lead Zelensky to Water; Can't Make Him Drink

 President Trump has brought the two primary belligerents in the Ukraine War closer to peace, yet Ukraine Leader Zelensky still is recalcitrant about accepting peace where Russia gets much land on the east side of the Dnepr River. That is the final settlement though. A demilitarized West Ukraine recognized by Russia, an East Ukraine made of Russian and Russian affiliated states and a mutual recognition that war needs to be allowed to be a horrible loss of life and memory fading into memory.

https://foreignpolicy.com/2025/03/18/russia-ukraine-war-ceasefire-peace-negotiations-trump-zelensky-putin/

The public should elect technically competent individuals to political roles; when they don't there may be substantive negative consequences. Although Mr. Zelensky graduated from Kiev College with a law degree, satisfying Democrat Party qualifications for politician like Adam Schiff, he began a career as a politician even before graduation. He persisted advancing as a comic actor and comedian until elected in 2019 to the office of President after making a movie about an historian elected President. The film was financed by one of the richest men in Ukraine.

Mr. Zelensky is a comic actor that could not help presiding over the tragedy in Ukraine. He is not a statesman, historian or pragmatist for peace; he is instead a creature of ambition.

Summer of 2025 should be the beginning of reconstruction of war torn areas along ecologically sustainable lines such that the work comprises a revolution in progress. A season of hope and progress is immeasurably superior to those of death.

Chemical Rockets are Slow In Comparison to Electron Beams for Spaceship Power

 Chemical rockets are very slow. It would be faster to establish an electron beam network around the entire solar system to power spaceships to a substantive portion of the speed of light. One must look ahead. One should also use linear electro-magnetic accelerators for launching modules from Earth to space over a 100 mile long track. A dummy front ship would serve as a heat shield until reaching orbit. Alternatively one could just use chem rockets and wait until some Chinese entrepreneur with state financing decides to make space transport innovations great again.

Political Terms Left and Right Have Had Their Day

 People on the left love evolution yet can't imagine that politics should evolve beyond the liberal viewpoint of Marx and Magna Carta and conservatism of King Henry the 8th. Even when it has evolved it isn't recognized by the right or left, so they reduce arguments between left and right to complete antipathy and argument for-itself as the summum bonum of politics. And in the meanwhile there may be a hidden surplus Earth rural population of a billion or three that weren't counted by scientists. People are oriented toward short term results and leadership can't restructure the economy to an acceptable foundation of ecological sustainability. The old categories are easiest to use and continue.

Global Population May Have Reached Ten Billion Humans Already

 Apparently social scientists have been under-counting the rural population of the world by 50% to 84% for quite a while. Forty percent of the people of Earth live in rural areas, so 50% of that is 20% of the population.  At least that much isn't counted on surveys. With 8.2 billion being the official number for the population this year, that means there may be more than 10 to 12 billion people on Earth already.

Democrats may seek to find a way to let those billions move to California in order to win elections.

Singularities Aren't All Created Equal

 Physical inferences and all other human thought apparently originate in the physical universe. There have been recent photos published by the Atacama Telescope, that went out of business in 2022 ,that show the early universe as it appeared 13 billion years ago. That is interesting for numerous reasons.

One I find interesting is that matter and anti matter canceled themselves out after those properties first appeared from a probable singularity. CP invariance let a very small percent of matter survive the renormalization That mass is primarily what appears in the photos, raising the point that it should be possible to calculate from the observable Universe then how much matter and anti-matter was in the singularity.

Singularities are not all equal in size and gravitational power. Time occurs differently in singularity if it exists at all. That is good because time only started with the release of matter/antimatter from the singularity with hyperinflation. In reverse though, the fields that were unified early on before expansion needed yet to have gravity to keep the singularity together, and the gravity particles existing below the plank length (if at all) at a certain minimal size of contraction turned off when the Universe became smaller than gravity field mesh. If the Universe as a singularity at that point became smaller than the gravitational field that contained it, it might have escaped like water through a fish net.

Maybe an area like this is a region were physics and metaphysical questions coincide, for there are more vectors to consider than may be addressed with arbitrary constraints on fields of inquiry. Time would follow the shape of fields unified and configured within a singularity and differentiated as it changed with no necessity for a direction of time that was uniform unless the physical shape of the singularity upon parole was uniform.

Black holes and singularities are consequences rather than appearing from nowhere. Existing mass need contract into a singularity before it may escape. The conundrum of what came first; the chicken or the egg, appears to fit singularities too.

Make America Competitive Again with High Speed Rail Coverage of Western Hemisphere

 China's Belt and Road initiative is developing rail service all over Central Asia among other developments in order to provide direct access routes for trade from Iran to Pakistan, Afghanistan, Russia, Holland and many, many more locations. China's economy will have raw materials including oil that can travel by land rather than by sea. The U.S.A. has no comparable rail network linking Alaska, Canada and South America directly with high speed rail for passengers and freight.

The Chinese economy already is the largest in the world and has the most international trade. To make America competitive in the future, much less great, the entire Western Hemisphere continental land masses need to be brought into a unified high speed rail transportation system, possibly using electro-magnetic powered lines above and below ground (for instance tunneling under the Panama canal).

Presently the United States cannot get even a basic high speed rail line built between Los Angeles and California. President Trump has cut back funding of fast land transportation ventures supported by government; failing to unify North and South America in a very fast high speed land rail system probably will harm the U.S. economy down the road. If water is the best way between several regions of North and South America then it is just as practical to send trade to Europe and China by water.

Rambo could drive a burning arrow through a bullet hole through and through his gut to cauterize it without suffering; he enjoyed being tough. Others emulate that (until it hurts). As a sign in an employers place read; "The beatings will stop when morale improves".

Reality as a Continuum

Reality may appear as a continuum, or something that continues temporally even though time may be an illusion created by membranes or some other field phenomenon moving past. Time may be more relativistic than one thinks; it may be so relativistic that, unified with space, it hasn't an independent existence.

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c4geldjjge0o

The continuum may exist solely in the physical as one might logically expect since people are just a tiny part of a large structure and cannot see the end of it in any direction. Humanity are large clumps of quanta themselves embedded in the Higgs field and given a third dimension instead of being massless two-dimensional quanta that could become part of a sentient being if time were ever to be and become.  https://youtu.be/tc7LpJswIZU

One Shouldn't Get All Misty About Below the Plank Length Alternative Realities

The Plank length is nothing more than a unit of measure. Plank wrote... “it is possible to set up units for length, mass, time and temperature, which are independent of special bodies or substances, necessarily retaining their meaning for all times and for all civilizations, including extraterrestrial and non-human ones, which can be called "natural units of measure".”

Physicists have commented that the Heisenberg Uncertainty principle and additional factors make it impossible with quantum mechanics to determine below Plank’s unit of measure the location of a particle. That is meaningful in case gravity has an origin below that length. There is nothing about extra-dimensions or extra-universes hidden below the plank length, if any, that are known.

https://suno.com/song/fef281f9-7897-4638-b619-0c223890763d?sh=NFlfhaY4sHnYdzdY

A wikipedia quote; “The term Planck scale refers to quantities of space, time, energy and other units that are similar in magnitude to corresponding Planck units. This region may be characterized by particle energies of around 1019 GeV or 109 J, time intervals of around 5×10−44 s and lengths of around 10−35 m (approximately the energy-equivalent of the Planck mass, the Planck time and the Planck length, respectively).”

I wrote a science fiction novel that is free to download concerning God’s relationship to a hypothetical Multiverse theologically. Inaccessible realms and noumena for-itself are accessible to science fiction writers.

Gemeni Avoided the Math of Calculations for Relocating Planets

I  asked Gemini several questions about relocating Europa to a safe place closer to Earth and finally pairing it with Venus in a binary orbit. While not quite a nattering nabob of negativism, Gemini was pessimistic about the engineering to move planets because techniques to do so haven't yet been invented and published. 

https://suno.com/song/50d96a2f-e641-4b3f-99f7-d7d11d2e2996?sh=ku7xalI9zsAPqMDv

There should be a little how to book with dozens of techniques. It seemed it didn't want to do the math. Maybe the free version eschews calculations of  that sort; something to be aware of. It did write this however...

"The idea of having Europa and Venus orbit each other is a fascinating thought experiment, but it presents significant challenges and considerations:

Potential Advantages (Theoretical):

Combined Resources:

Venus has a dense atmosphere rich in carbon dioxide, while Europa has abundant water ice. Combining these resources could potentially create a more habitable environment.

Radiation Shielding:

Venus's thick atmosphere could provide some shielding against radiation, which is a major concern for Europa.

Orbital Stability (Potentially):

If the two bodies were carefully placed in a stable binary orbit, it could theoretically provide long-term stability.

Significant Challenges:

Orbital Mechanics:

Establishing and maintaining a stable binary orbit between two bodies of such different sizes and characteristics would be incredibly complex.

The gravitational interactions between the two bodies, as well as the Sun and other planets, would need to be precisely calculated and managed.

Temperature Differences:

Venus has an extremely hot surface temperature, while Europa is very cold. Reconciling these temperature extremes would be a massive engineering challenge.

Atmospheric Differences:

Venus's dense, toxic atmosphere is vastly different from Europa's near-vacuum. Creating a habitable atmosphere would require extensive modification.

Relocation Energy:

Moving both Venus and Europa to a suitable location and establishing a stable binary orbit would require astronomical amounts of energy.

Tidal Forces:

The tidal forces exerted by each body on the other would have to be calculated, and accounted for. These forces could cause extreme geological activity.

Planetary Protection:

If Europa has life, contaminating it with earth life, or venusian materials, would be a huge concern.

Feasibility:

Currently, this concept is far beyond our technological capabilities.

It would require breakthroughs in gravitational engineering, propulsion, and terraforming.

The energy requirements alone would be staggering.

In conclusion:

Therefore, while it is a fun concept to consider, it is not within the realm of possible engineering for the foreseeable future.

While the idea of Europa and Venus orbiting each other is intriguing, it presents immense challenges.

The orbital mechanics, temperature differences, and atmospheric disparities would be extremely difficult to overcome."

Mind is Under-Appreciated

 Robert Laughlin, a winner of a Nobel in physics published a book named 'A Different Universe; Reinventing Physic from the Bottom Up". He described consciousness as an emergent property from the field it exists in as a fundamental phase change. The inference is that the Newtonian sort of causal relationships and the ability to predict the determined future based on the present positions of all known elements of the construction that is the Universe, if that were possible, would not apply to the human mind. Mind is a different than material phenomenon. People underrate and under appreciate how marvelous it is and the way that it differs from thoughtless mass. https://suno.com/.../67d4b343-b219-41f5-8c72-1fa6be8c20be

One Global Government is a Dystopian Dream of Dictators

Nationalism is a reflection of politics at a local level enabling self-determination and democracy. People have fought quite hard to be free of empire and oppression foreign and domestic. Freedom attained within a national boundary is far better than being a subject of monolithic authoritarianism. The problem with government and humanity is a lack of adequate intellect and knowledge in leadership able to choose good policy directives. A global government rule has no firewalls to contain wrong political leads.People that would trust some kind of planetary elite government would need to lack confidence in their own political competence to acquiesce as subjects. 

Humanity has simply expanded its numbers because of advances in science beyond the world's safe carrying capacity. There are several possible positive responses to the challenges of that, yet as I mentioned, the intellect and knowledge is lacking. The EU leadership for example has become swollen with power and seeks to protract war with Russia instead of peace and work on actual existential environmental challenges in regard to maladapted political economy. In response to swollen foreign global power units seeking to take over their nations and render them powerless subjects, people will fight. There isn't a substitute for smart and cooperative international leadership making good choices.

Red Chris Mine in Canada Presents Dangers for American Fish Downstream

 There is a proposed expansion of the Red Chris mine in Canada upstream of the Stikine River from Wrangell. It is an open pit mine and they hope to make tunnels through substrate and then blast to collapse the overhead and extract low grade ore from the  rip rap for rock crushing.  The mining technique is called block caving.

Water running through new underground channels take toxic minerals with it, and that can persist for centuries. Good luck with getting Canadians to be concerned about downstream American fish. There are a couple of books on U.S. experience with the problem. I doubt the current President would care.

What Goes on Mars, Stays on Mars?

There are possible signs of microbial life on Mars recently photographed by a Mars Rover. Microbes are everywhere on Earth. Most microbes are harmless or positive and some cause sickness and/or death. Martian microbes could still exist in ice or wet drip collection places underground, yet even dead microbes in dust could potentially end human life on Earth. Why gamble on decontamination that's 100% effective 100% of the time?

https://www.space.com/space-exploration/search-for-life/poppy-seeds-and-leopard-spots-on-mars-could100-hint-at-ancient-microbial-life

The U.S. Government may want to consider developing a plan to stop return missions to Earth from Mars until after that planet is thoroughly explored and tested for hidden microbial life given its extreme potential danger. What goes to Mars should remain on Mars.

While Martian exploration is early experimentation with remote control stone cutting and shelter construction could be done with AI and robotic mechanism designed to cut stone, move in and build infrastructure for community halls that could be covered with stress-tensioned fabrics in some cases, or stone. The first large human shelters built 14,000 years ago provide some ideas that cold be adapted for Mars habitations above ground in addition to cave dwelling.

History Realizing Itself Through War

 Western Europe has often look to the east for ripe new resources to plunder. Often the effort doesn't end peacefully. Baku has been a target as of course was the Ukraine.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1fvbO_J7yxI

  Human history in some respect extends all the way back to 1.75 million years ago when Germans homo heidelbergensis used stone axes. Apparently the Heidelbergians where the parents of Neandethals and died out circa 200,000 B.C. Violence was a way of life.

Several neo-human migrations left Africa and returned in some cases perhaps when climate changed. With stone axes making rafts was possible to travel rivers though scant evidence of such remains. About all of the ancestor version perished after full homo sapiens left Africa. The modern homo sapiens dispersed all over the Eastern hemisphere by 200,000 B.C. However all modern humans appear genetically to be descended from a group that left Africa for Riyadh Saudi Arabia circa 55,000 B.C. Plainly that provides enough time for some sort of civilization to be constructed along the Persian Gulf shore and drowned by a catastrophic flood as the Wisconsin Ice Age was winding down and the Younger Dryas period approached.

One wonders about the dispersion of early humans around the Middle East. Some lived in caves on Mt. Carmel, Israel as early as 500,000 B.C. at Nahal Me'arot/Wadi el-Mughara . Human dwellings in permanent construction beyond the caves and non-durable huts began only about 25,000 years ago. There is an example of one on the South shore of the Sea of Galilee. Perhaps the latter were descendants of the 55,000 B.C. troop in Exodus from Africa with all earlier humans being decimated by blood borne pathogens they had no immunity too.

It is obvious how history repeats itself not just from ignorance, it has other causes such as geography, climate and things people need for living. Eden is now believed to have been in Saudi Arabia and the expulsion, perhaps from climate change, took them to lower Mesopotamia. Survivors of the apocalyptic flood may have dispersed around the Levant founding nations with new technology learned in the inundated mud brick civilization.

There are numerous upgrades to permanent human constructions beginning around 14,000 B.C. in the Mid-east, There is a first tower built at Jericho at 11,000 B.C. that may have been a pulpit or a stone miniature replica of a great tower in the lost Persian Gulf shore civilization that may be as much as 500 feet below sea level today.

The European west keeps finding excuses not to recognize Russian security needs in Ukraine or its historical right to Eastern Ukraine beyond the Dnepro River. It continues to find a reason for war and that is a shame since people die, yet t reflects badly on the nature of human character and its inability to live peacefully or allocate resources in the most productive and efficient way possible.

Humanity dispersed logical out of Europe and may have reached North America via Berengia as far back as 50,000 B.C. A site along the Savannah River may have stone tool artifacts of cutting tools from that era. Very likely though people reached America from Eurasia by 25,000 B.C. The new wave of out of Africa arrivals in 55,000 B.C. settled the entire planet. 

In Alaska they may have taken two routes. One along the shore with the sea level much lower and land along the dry continental shelf easier to cross. If they already at stone axes they could have chopped logs and made rafts for river crossing, as perhaps humans used to float up Northward flowing Siberian Rivers where they found themselves frozen in from along the Arctic littoral and decided to migrate East following the sun to Berengia and America.

Some Druze genes have been found in North American aboriginals along the Atlantic coast of North America. Druze today live in Lebanon yet they may have ventured elsewhere as was customary for homo sapiens. Athapaskan natives settled the interior from Alaska to Arizona becoming the Apache. Arriving in North America they could have followed the Yukon River when iced up. The River turns south after crossing in to Canada. Logical. Follow the sun/

War of conquest for the west looking toward Ukraine is an habitual vice. Yet it disregards the lessons of the gradualist approach of modern Chinese economics to maximize the efficient allocation of resources. With one world economy the matter of who owns Ukraine's natural resources isn't nearly as meaningful as how integrated the resources are in the world's free market system so they might be efficiently used. Stop the war and becoming effective in sharing the free market.

Forests are Far Richer Environments than Cities

 Forests are a far richer, more complex environment than human-made artificial habitats that eliminate most complexity. Consciousness advanced quite far in forests as well as grasslands. Ninety-nine percent of human history occurred in rural settings. A modern home has not 1% of the complexity of a forest and is not challenging for a brain or body. Even walking on safe level floors and sidewalks eliminates 95 percent of the mental attention to detail required on a complex forested slope. There are neither a lot of birds or insect vectors flying about that one need remain subtly vigilant about. The only danger in modern cities is other humans as predators.

In the modern urban environment humanity constructed unchallenging safe houses that sanitized the natural ecosystem they eschew because of its many challenges. Humanity has moved into safe cribs that do not stimulate a brain interactively; physically. Cities are environmental dead zones.

Considering Time and Space

Time in effect, doesn't exist. Mass and space exist, and of course many doubt that nothingness, aka empty space does. One must measure the change of a physical system with physical tools, and one may construct physical-even atomic clocks. Nothing in a physical system exists apart from the system to measure the rate of change of the system with. Local rates of change are observable to sentient beings. 

Massless particles don’t experience time because they haven’t mass. That may be a condition that exists because articles like photons are expressions at a point of waves of an electro-magnetic field. Massless particles pick up a third dimension in the Higgs field. Maybe that is a recombinant effect of two-dimension massless particles receiving the donation of a third dimensions via the Higgs field’s dimensional status. (I don’t know). One could compare it to massless flies entering the Higgs field soup transformed into croutons. One might wonder how many dimensions the Higgs field has in-itself. 

What is regarded as time is a human awareness of material change. Mass changes for and location and that is what is observed by humans. When mass changes at a regular rate and order the observation of that is considered to be time. People tend to think of time as independent and occurring for-itself regardless of mass, yet it isn’t. As the observer changes the position of his own mass. Perhaps being accellerated to a substantial percent of the speed of nearly massless photons his experience and basis of time is different than that of a stationary compatriot from his initial starting position. The experience of the passage of time is relative to speed and acceleration, in other words, to the status of mass.

If the entire Universe or mass is where time is embedded phenomenally, it is plain enough that the experience of the status, speed and configuration mass locally has its own relative time and configuration. It is comparable to the three-body problem of three spheres in space. If there were just two spheres in space and one was moving away it wouldn’t actually be possible to determine which one was moving away. With a third sphere, and with two stationary one might decide that one is moving away from the other two. The point of view is relative. With an infinity or whatever of particles of mass complicating the relationship of time calculations in existence the ‘time’ of mass still is found in the mass itself and nowhere else. One has the additional problem of anti-matter and its own time configurations and relativity for-itself and for-mass.  https://youtu.be/tc7LpJswIZU?si=YSEQxbITz_WsKAMc

It's Everett's many worlds paradigm created as an alternative to collapse of the wave-function. For each thought anyone has they switch to an appropriate Universe without awareness of the switch. There are an infinite number of Universes that already exist without time.. It is if they are static in the mind of God.  It hasn't anything to do with the Plank length which is a measurement designed by Max Plank. It is possible that time doesn't exist except as a kind of secondary appearance.  Last week some physicists released information about time being a by-product of quantum entanglement locally. If that is so the implication is that the entanglement occurs below the Plank length. Incidentally the God of Abraham would be fine with an infinite Multiverse. In fact it's almost a necessity since God is omnipotent and omniscient.An attribute of omnipotence  is that He has all possible infinity and possibility. Actually Universes might be just one thought of His mind, or nature. There may be countless other things that are noumenal for human knowledge.
