Reflections on Olber's Paradox

 

Olber’s Paradox is interesting to consider. The Universe probably isn’t static nor “filled” with stars since they are so far away. Visible light requires sentient eyes to view it and regard it as visible anyway. Before eyes existed the Universe might have been in effect without light. One knows at any rate that light is an excitation or phenomena in an electromagnetic field and photons travelling in space are affected by the spatial curvature of the Universe because of gravity, or perhaps spatial curvature itself is a reciprocal of gravity as it were and that varied over the course of the expansion of the universe. Photons are nearly mass-less particles and their timeless journey can end or transition as they encounter different fields and mass or energy in the Universe.

“Olbers’ paradox is a cosmological paradox that asks why the night sky is dark if the universe is infinite and contains an infinite number of stars

I suppose that it is possible that photons could encounter a kind of anti-virtual particle phenomena wherein photons disappear from the Universe into whatever field virtual particles emerge fro as the Universe flexes it’s quantum soup of some kind of tomato bisque. I don’t know why for that matter that a virtual energy field should be evenly distributed through the Universe and not for-itself associated in some way with a ratio to real fields and mass of the Universe. Perhaps they model the distribution of gravitational fields of the Universe, although nothing can travel faster than light that is subluminal. Of course mass-less 2 dimensional particles travel at light speed. Quantum entanglement could occur between photons and virtual energy. I have thought the concepts of timeless, mass-less particles and a Universe of time and space something of a paradox itself.

Laser Beams for Power Streams Between Stars

 Because there is no foreseeable technology to travel faster than light between star systems it is worth considering the fastest way to power space modules to a substantial portion of the speed of light. Scientists have pointed out that using enough energy to power a spacecraft if the fuel was aboard the vessel would be too massive, the criterion moves to establishing a stream of energy outside the craft it’s ‘engine’ can draw upon to approach equalization of its speed to that of the laser beam, reaching perhaps 3/4s of the speed of light.

Coherent light- laser light travels at light speed. A very large laser beamed aimed at a target star light Proxima Centauri- 4.6 light years away, would need to be very strong and powered by the sun or a fusion reactor in space near the edge of the solar system. There would need to be a way to tap into the laser beam and convert the photons into electrons and possible an electro magnetic field some configuration that would move the ship forward. Perhaps an on board energy converter could tap into the beam periodically to continue to advance its rate of acceleration closer to the speed of light of the laser beam. The technology would in effect let a spacecraft catch a ride on the laser beam’s energy.

When the first star connection was established, star a to b, then a connection could be made from star b to c. after delivering components to build more laser star links to star b for making a connection to star c. The travel time using the fastest present space engine tech is 88,000 years to Proxima Centauri where with a laser beam to provide power for energy to let a reciprocal electrons power tie-into to the beam travel at light speed the time would be reduced to about eight years.

In order for a stable platform from which to send a laser light star link it might be necessary to locate some Lagrange Point equivalents for the solar system rather than the Earth. On the other hand it could be useful to construct a network of solar system encompassing laser beam platforms on the out edge of the solar system forming a rough sphere around it- balanced for gravitational elements of course, and from those platform each sending a laser beam to some point in space where the beams are gathered with mirrors and combined into a solitary powerful beam initially aimed at Proxima Centauri for a decade when a ship is using the tech for travel.

Some future generation may discover the way to innovate the first few laser star links, if the present war-mongering one being led into nuclear war chicken with Russia doesn’t incinerate future generations by actualizing M.A.D. policy.

It might be feasible to map gravitational currents/fields of this galaxy and use them to sail between select areas by letting the gravitational pull draw a spaceship forward toward the speed of light. Obviously micro-gravity sailing technologies might improve when the causality of gravity is better understood. Still, I like the possibility and recognize that boosting start up acceleration might be desirable with a different technology.

If I Knew a Half Century Ago What I Know Now

 I was considering what the world would have been like if I knew the future a half century ago. That is, if I knew then what I know now. Since I like to consider and write about contemporary history, wouldn’t the future have never become what it was if I wrote about events consistently with accuracy before they occurred?

In my opinion the greatest change would have been that of the Reagan administration. If I had written before the 1980 election that the conservative Republican President would change the political landscape so much in international relations and with the Soviet Union as to bring about the end of the Cold War then that circumstance might not have occurred. Imagine instead if the end of the Cold war in December 1988 when the Soviet began drawing down the Red Army from East Germany were replaced by a Clinton-Biden-Obomb-em-Harris, Yellin, Stoltenberg axis of mooning administrations elevating the world to the brink of nuclear war as at the present time in history.

Presidents intelligent enough to find ways to peace when the outlook is for the dark and stormy clouds of nuclear winter are rare. Snoopy writing from his dog house writer’s loft given a knowledge of the pinball courses of political relations with future knowledge; knowing the whipsaws of changes in presidential administrations and approaches to achieving a stable and peaceful world order where ecological progress and full, meaningful life opportunities for all within a freedom of spirit social paradigm, would be a paradox. Political analysis are limited in validity to a context of limited omniscience or rather, no omniscience at all  in regard to the temporal exstasis in which space-time flows. There is no Snoopy sniffing the future of world destiny that will bark at the approach of evil and wag for the good. Presidents instead need use rational prioritization of political concerns to actualize good developments instead of actualizing existential desires emanated from their own desires. Social reality isn’t an existential extension of personal egoism as it may seem for Democrat Party leaders, it is an interactive, heterodox fact where sharing of Ukraine is all that is required to restore historical balance for the time being.

Harris Rolls Dice on Winning Ukraine without Nuclear War (How the World May End)

 When I learned that the Biden-Starmer-Harris crew were considering giving permission to Ukraine to attack Russia with N.A.T.O. long range missiles Friday the 13th (does that increase the gravity or the irony) that was the first time in my life that I had considered the prospect that nuclear war could follow Saturday. The Harris-Biden-Starmer team is playing nuclear chicken with Russia; a game at a higher level with potential for liberal deaths for all.

Following several years of top hand on the baseball bat mode of escalation with Russia in the use of conventional weapons to turn the tide of war there way, the Harris-Biden-Starmer entity failed to recognize the different context having nearly reached the W.M.D. level. It is a glass ceiling completely opaque to the Starmer-Harris-Biden entity. They should not aspire to reach that top floor.

I could think about the second weekend of NFL football games and the lesser, peripheral concern of potential global thermonuclear war brought to the U.S.A. and the rest of the world thanks to the historically illiteracy of the Harris-Biden-Starmer entity as a multi-tasking venture. When the first N.B.A. game is played in late October concerns about nuclear war will be muted with remote control. For most Americans it is more convenient to focus on important issues such as football, and not on unrewarding ones like terrorists with nuclear, biological or chemical weapons.

The Ukraine-the borderlands, have been a target of western conquest for centuries. Poland, France and Germany among others have invaded Russia to seize land. The gamble that Russia won’t use nuclear and other weapons of mass destruction to defend its historical region of existence when pummeled by a vast array of western military power is a bad one. It is a paradox that mothers against drunk driving would probably advocate Harris for President if they did such endorsements yet would not have a concern about candidate Harris’ full-bodied support of war with Russia over Ukraine. The Democrat feminine vote evidently does not regard nuclear war as anything more than externality or a bluff, yet it isn’t.

If N.A.T.O. begins attacking deep within Russia with Ukrainian cut outs the premise is that Russia cannot retaliate on the west because all of the N.A.T.O. nations would attack en mass because of treaty obligations. There are numerous cut outs available for Russia to use to attack London, Paris, Amsterdam and Los Angeles with nuclear, chemical and biological weapons. ISIS, Hezbollah, Taliban and other Muslim groups in contact with Russia’s Iranian allies come to mind; they might be too happy to supply clandestine infiltrators to deliver a gallon of novachuck nerve agent, a suitcase nuke in a homeless guy’s backpack or a designer virus. Plausible deniability would cover each as the nuclear weapons could have been stolen during the era following the end of the Soviet Union when they were left unsecured across former Soviet territories.

India and China’s leaders met recently with President Putin perhaps to discuss what response should be taken to a war upgraded to an existential threat on Russia’s existence by the Biden-Harris-Starmer entity. Tactical nuclear weapons- perhaps neutron bombs with the beryllium sheathing absent, might be employed to counter Ukrainian advances into Russia along with or without full-bodied N.A.T.O. invasions of Russia after the initial round of weapons fo mass destruction are deployed. Russia hasn’t proven ability to defeat conventional western attack on Russia. Candidate Harris called Candidate Trump ‘weak’ at the debate and said that Putin would ‘eat his lunch’. Ms. Harris is a completely enthusiastic votary of Democrat Kool-Aid narratives on Russian-Ukraine-Clinton history. She is determined that conventional war to recover all of Ukraine for western power need proceed. Plainly Candidate Harris is incompetent with global economics, history and military affairs and acts with a cognitive deficit in failing to perceive the likelihood of nuclear war with her partisan, one-sided war policy. The war is harmful to U.S. economic interests and is an existential and possibly Eleatic ,Empirical, Metaphysical and even pluralist threat as well. No matter how hard Ms. Harris acts to spend hundreds of billions more on that war it will fail militarily syncopation even though she may intend to litigate nuclear war and win.

I should point out the the late Harvard historian Henry Kissinger was against the war, and other professors of Russian history realized that Russia would not accept the loss of all of Ukraine and the Crimea without a fight. The political insanity of the Democrat party is barely making a ripple on their political pond of thought. Drunk with power Democrats believe they cannot lose and need not share Ukraine with its historical Russian owner, and in that regard they are probably wrong. It is bad risk to gamble on world civilization not ending with nuclear brinkswomanship continuing year to year.

Before closing this post I will try presenting the conflict from a Russian point of view so far as I understand it. Russia regards the Ukraine as part of Russia stolen by the west repeatedly and lately at the end of the Cold War. Because President Clinton stole Ukraine once more by levering the last Soviet President Boris Yeltsin into giving it up to an independent status instead of insisting that Russia keep it, Democrat Presidents ever since have reinforced the theft and developed a belligerent attitude toward Russia by building up N.A.T.O. membership after the end of the Cold War when peace and economic development should have made that unnecessary. For Russia the west plainly was intending something that wasn’t good, and preparing for a war that it probably realized would need to occur eventually when Russia recovered from the break up of the Soviet Union and was militarily stronger.

Western leadership has historically made war on Russia to take as much of the country as it could, usually without success, Hitler and Napoleon among others. They are pretending with false consciousness that Ukraine is historically an independent nation like that of Germany, England and Poland etc and that Russia is simply waging a war of aggression. That is a dissimulation of historical truth, yet a dissimulation they would assert so far as to bring the world to the brink of nuclear conflict over Ukraine. Sharing Ukraine perhaps with a border along the Dnepr would be a practical political adjustment yet is one that so far the west has eschewed in preference to war.

The United States has sent hundreds of billions of dollars of weapons to Ukraine and that was partially matched by N.A.T.O. members. The unelected President of Western Ukraine wants to use U.S. and N.A.T.O weapons to attack old Russia as well as recovered Russian Ukraine targets like the Donbas and Crimea. Russian leadership apparently will stipulate and tolerate

to a certain extent N.A.T.O. weapons being used in Ukraine, because Russia too can use third party supplied weapons in Ukraine. Yet N.A.T.O. weapons used to attack outside Ukraine; to attack old Russia would be different. For Russia to be equal it would need to attack N.A.T.O. members in retaliation. Ukraine is the bone of contention and N.A.T.O. members and old Russia should be left out of targeting with missiles for parity. Evidently the British P.M. and other leaders want to argue against parity and equanimity and claim that Ukraine is already an independent nation that Russia is attacking and therefore N.A.T.O. weapons can be used to attack Russia. That is itself is a new doctrine with the premise that any nation regarded by N.A.T.O. as having invaded another can be targeted with N.A.T.O. missiles. The nuclear war at the end of the road is not a civil argument over property among lawyers.

Fact Checking; "It Takes a Village" (Utopia)

 Was village life the compassionate conservative Utopia it is sometimes held by liberals to be? Villages did have muddy streets with Neo-feral pigs running amok about them eating whatever they could find. Outhouse were often within walking distance unlike modern urban areas where one need walk a mile to find a Starbucks with toilets that can be utilized for the purchase of a seven-dollar mochafrappe.

  Village life in European locales allowed accountant free peasant living since the local Nobel owned the land and crops produced by countless hours of toil and sweat. Women’s rights to labor in the home annually during their reproductive years followed the ecstatic pleasure of the Nobel taking first use of a newly wed wife on the wedding night followed by a few decades of servicing the oaf.

  Peasants received free military service opportunities with rival Nobels often being at war. Nobel lands were bucolic settings for the original cores of Hatfields and McCoys. Student loans were forgiven a priori for peasants because they received no education besides practical free on the job training in careers servitude swine herding, haying, mucking stables and such for the Nobel. Peasants in Utopian primitive communism shared equally in starvation during lean times when the Nobel’s wars cost the peasant’s winter food supplies in taxes to finance. The Lord Jesus was nearly stoned and thrown from a cliff in his own home village. Swift prosecution of non-conformist ideas with death by villagers saved the public the exorbitant costs of appellate judicial review.

Occasionally bouts of bubonic plague were liberally compensated with no-cost burials for villagers. Foreign imports weren’t much of a problem in not much existing with copious tariffs on goods costing fewer than 800 quid snipping that sort of direct trade off by the balls. Nobels knew the wisdom of stopping villagers from engaging in direct trade with foreign producers that cut out the Nobel middlemen that owned big table retailers.

Conclusion; Village life was somewhat Utopian although it was mostly village idiots that believed it smoking dope for aesthetic relativism.

 

Democrat Part of Deceit, Accusations and Lies

 Democrats are the party of accusations, lies and deceits. After they started the civil war to keep their tradition of slavery alive and lost they were kept out of the Presidential office until F.D.R.- a northerner, took office to usher in the Second World War. Sure Hitler was to blame, yet F.D.R. did lead the U.S.A. into a war that some genius might have found a way to honorably avoid through some clever theoretical politics.

President Truman faced the same challenge as F.D.R. in having a war thrust upon him in Korea and failing to find a way to develop a theoretical political way of settling the dispute without armed conflict. He did however fire General MacArthur who wanted to end the communist regime in China then. The present Chinese government in a way may be regarded as the legacy of the Democrat Party’s Harry Truman, who also dropped the first two atomic bombs ever used in war.

The Democrat Presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson each got the Vietnam war started and burning strongly for more than a decade without being able to find a way to avoid or conclude it. Kennedy and Johnson also failed to do anything more than exacerbate the Cold War with the Soviet Union. The Cuban Missile Crisis and Bay of Pigs were notable incidents, Francis Gary Power’s U-2 flight was shot down in Soviet air space. No reduction of nuclear arms build up occurred during Kennedy and Johnson administrations-quite the opposite in fact developed.

President Nixon- a Republican elected in 1968 after  Democrat youth rioting outside the Chicago Democrat National convention could not prevent the party from running the Minnesotan Hubert Humphrey from taking the party nomination to lose in November, ended the Vietnam War with a gradual draw down and sent the late Henry Kissinger to Beijing (or Peking as it was known too) to begin diplomacy to develop normal diplomatic relations and economic ties. That process continued after Nixon was forced from office for the Watergate burglar, Nixon said that he thought the country was undergoing civil war.

President Reagan- a Republican, ended the Cold War working with Soviet President Gorbachev. He hoped to end the threat of nuclear weapons and to develop a united, peaceful Europe and world economic environment.

President Clinton- a Democrat, was convicted of perjury lying to congress. He took the Ukraine- the borderlands, away from Russia where it belonged, from the totally weak final Soviet President Boris Yeltsin in the transition to a post Soviet new world order. Of all the nations that ad there full independence restored by the Soviet troop withdrawal starting at the end of the Reagan administration, Russia was the only nation that lost land rather than recovering it, like Germany had for instance. The theft of Ukraine from re-emerging Russia  set the stage for the present Ukraine-Russia war.

Democrats under the Obama and Biden administrations built up N.A.T.O. eastward in former Warsaw Pact nations presenting an existential threat to Russia. They supplied vast weapons inventories to Ukraine even before the Crimean reconquista by the armed forces of Russia. Following the reconquista  a vast range of sanctions, dire threats and imprecations were placed on Russia and Russians-including seizures of the assets of Russian millionaires and billionaires, some of whom had economically benefited the Clinton Foundation. The countdown to conflict in Ukraine steadily built until climax after the election of President Biden.

Democrats elected just lawyers for President after Harry Truman’s one term administration. They returned to the successful F.D.R. model of lawyers who felt law and government structures were entirely malleable tools for Democrat Party power, in effect made to support Democrat party goals. The modern civil rights movements came to be understood as the anti-strait white male civil rights movement. Special interests rights were custom legislated. Antipathetic language became proscribed as ‘hate speech’. The concept of law as impartial justice that should prevail in democracy was lost.

 In democracy the purpose of the law isn’t to implement an abstract concept of justice or retribution. Its essential reason for being to to let individuals live securely and pursue their self-interest. In an authoritarian government alternatively the purpose of law is to reinforce the power and will of the ruling class. Though the democrats have not gone full-hog authoritarian or royal, that is the direction they are headed. Sometimes the particular genius of a ruling class needed to take power is to have the support of the masses in so doing. Plebeians supported Julius Caesar. His son Octavian known as Augustus was more  the most powerful Senator rather than emperor yet still required support of the commons.

After Charles Darwin’s publication his evolution theory and the rise of pragmatism and investigations into truth theory gradually people lost faith in not only the belief in God and the veracity of the Bible, because of its different creation narrative fro that of Darwin’s Origin of the Species, fascism developed in Europe and a concept that truth was entirely subjective arose. The Copenhagen Interpretation of quantum mechanics brought even the nature of reality to be questioned. Secularists might well believe nothing is real and that subjective epistemology and subjective perception actual determined what the content of the objective world is that was subjectively perceived. That idea was itself incomplete, and reality was not solipsistically homodox (is that a word?), it was instead heterodox though far more complex than was or could be definitively understood, even by philosophers and cosmologists.

Even so the popular notion that truth was self-defined and proprietary made lying more acceptable. Democrats gradually learned to apply the premise of ‘kill them all and let God sort them out later with truth replacement theory. With truth replacement theory it is better to accuse first, best and far more often than to be a passive defender with lame opposition denials to accusations. Political pejorative use-truths (ref Sartre) were justifiable and common. The big lie; the colonialist’s false interpretation of events, became normal for the Democrat Party and intensified following Al Gore’s loss to George W. Bush in the 2000 Presidential election where after the party went full lunatic use-truth civil war with Republicans, though that was suspended for a time after the Sept 11, 2001 terror attacks. 

Democrats use-truths brought them to full accusatory mode on President Trump’s first term of office when they brought with all of their power the accusation of Russian collusion with Donald Trump to become elected. It was a ludicrous and false charge continued for years, followed by an impeachment and every possible charge they could send his way. Democrat Party lawyers continued their prosecutorial mode even running a former prosecuting attorney for President vs Donald Trump seeking re-election. For Democrats prosecuting Russia in  with all conventional weapons in order to win the court battle for truth (the Democrat Party has an historically false narrative of Russia’s relation to Ukraine) will continue until nuclear war is achieved and victory is theirs. With the existential criteria of subjective definition of truth the Democrat Party isn’t able to quit its prosecution of war for there is no other means (what is peace and sharing?).

Because the mainstream broadcast media and much of the main Internet social media corporations fill their ranks with Democrat Party affirmative action legacy employees that media entirely supports the Democrat Party narrative use-truths. Because Democrat Presidents founded so many wars and military conflicts (even President Obomba fomented several Middle East and North African conflicts and helped build up the anti-Russia approach for European and N.A.T.O. politics militarily) and are totally invested in war with Russia over Ukraine (possibly just in Ukraine) there is no main stream broadcast media opposition to the war as there was in Vietnam. American youthful voters and Democrat Party members are somewhat paralyzed into inaction in opposition to the party narrative and what is likely to develop into a nuclear war. The passivity of the left acquiescing to war-mongering leadership is a amazing yet edifying spectacle to experience. Maybe an explanation is the Democrat support for legal and copious dope to pacify the public.

Hamas; Israel's ISIS Next Door

 Hamas is the Islamic state next door. Israel need eliminate Hamas from the equation of peace as well as Hamas werewolves and establish an Israeli military government for Hamas that is a stainless steel spine-splint for a peaceful civilian Palestinian government. That government would have its ranks steadily filled with copious vetting by Israeli job screeners. The Palestinians of the new government  of Palestine would have the Israeli training wheels on for two or three years in order to let the new people learn the art of governance and strengthen their position versus the inevitable organized crime methodical approaches of Hamas to subordinate the new government of Palestine to its own purpose of terrorism and war upon Israel. Approaches to bringing peace to Palestine that fail to prevent the return of Hamas or a similar terror organization to Palestine probably would be doomed to future, interminable conflicts on a greater scale.

One might wonder if N.A.T.O. will remain a racist, expansionist entity dedicated to war on Russia and proposition that one should probe Asia for easy areas to exploit. Its membership includes just white nations except for Turkey. I have no idea why Turkey was included in N.A.T.O. Israel is closer to the North Atlantic than Turkey yet of course not suitably placed for attacking Russia.

N.A.T.O. does therefore exclude Israel and Taiwan in order to conserve a semblance of Aryan Supremacy as it looks eastward. If Israel were a N.A.T.O. member the middle east might achieve peace in our time, except Jews are of course, Jews and can’t be considered as potential members of the alliance.

The Presence of the Past

 The philosophy of history is an interesting topic. There are numerous ways to consider history and the way it relates to the present. Hemingway wrote that the winner take’s nothing, while a cliché  goes that ‘history is written by the victors’. Even if there is a transcending day of judgment that is a greater reality more primary and pre-determined set before the steady-state of entangled waveforms appearing to be three-dimensional particles comprising the evident Universe that negates or makes phenomenal the value of everything in it, people still want to know the history of what went before.

When one looks at photos of the cosmic microwave background one is looking at the distant past- the most distant past that can be seen. The past is in the present. The CMD is an image of how the Universe appeared 380,000 years after the singularity expanded from T=0 and size= 0. A singularity with all  of the mass of the future Universe may have had zero mass because mass is a state of energy. Mass is another word for matter. Matter could be regard as the positive phase of a sine wave and anti-matter as a negative phase; yin and yang are matter and anti-matter. Without entanglement of positive waves with themselves or negative waves (perhaps they are separable in some circumstances) matter doesn’t exist so one can say the singularity had no mass exiting from which one could append a descriptive measure of its size. The singularity was something else-perhaps a probability of potential energy.


For practical purposes in the human present the past is present in all existing things. When one visits the Redwood forest one is viewing the past that has accreted centuries to become as it is now. To view the Roman coliseum is to view the past in the present as a for-others that will exist into the tomorrows of the future indefinitely. History is a great tree in which the present appears in budding leaves on the branches of a central trunk. One knows that scientific knowledge discovers innumerable new interests and techniques yet is aware that cosmology studies were advanced over thousands of years. Philosophy is a quest for truth meaning and knowledge- even if as Socrates said that he knew that he knew nothing.

That which exists is understood by learning of that which was. In many cases one may reason from the materially evident to the past as well as the future shape of things with that understanding.  President Richard M. Nixon and Secretary of State Kissinger understood that make friends of enemies is politically desirable therefore sought to open and establish political and economic relations with mainland Communist China. President Ronald Reagan understood the same principle and sought to rid the world of nuclear weapons and establish peaceful social and economic relations with the Soviet Union even with the distant vision of bringing it into the world of free nations with free enterprise. Since the end of the Cold War 1.0 democrat Party leaders sough site of that principle. That is what history informs us.

Abortion and Lab Grown Meat; Ethics and Enterprise

Social ethics issues of the United States are an interesting phenomenon. Justice Bork once used the phrase “where the rubber meets the road” in a sense something like that of the anachronism ‘oars in the water’- except that it was used concerning legal issues. Answers to ethics issues and questions aren’t necessarily more fungible than legal ones. It is the case that legal questions exist within a neural network of precedents in which they need compatibly cohere while ethics issues and questions tend toward being colorful, anecdotal and unbound even within particular ethical systems. Therefore I will move directly on to where the meat hits the market.

Questions about the ethics of abortions and lab grown meat arise, and then one extrapolates from those to more difficult questions of cloning headless human bodies for use as spare parts and birthing ‘machines’. Should profit generally be a primary concern for ethics questions and a major premise for syllogisms adapted to iterations of social ethics algorithms?

What are weighty philosophical questions usually aren’t decided by philosophers. Academic philosophers may be neo-sophists providing opinions for dollars rather than deep thinkers offering their best opinions. So complex issues arise these days  as they have the past several decades that aren’t isolated questions or challenges as much as salient questions embedded within networks of contingence. 

Neologisms are new words created; sometimes for questionable reasons. Yet new words and phrases may be engineered for ethics evaluations unless one wants to limit parameters to that of a legalistic approach. Is a free paradigm then so unbounded that valid answers to ethics questions are impossible or at least limited to those of pragmatic value and application?

Logic allows one to create their own value structure, as if it were an algebra with constants and variables. Structuring ethics ‘syllogisms’ or test iterations can also be constructed with constant and variable premises representing given value systems within which valid answers need cohere. Aristotelian ethics algorithms had 256 possible forms with 23 being valid forms. Artificial neural networks of ethics tests and parameters may be adapted in three dimensions or even four dimension forms in order to test questions and answers for coherence within ethics system parameters.

What is wrong about growing beef without brains or heads in barn-laboratories? One may need to overcome initial squeamishness at the nominally inhuman concept of growing living flesh in brainless beasts to be eaten. Is it more compassionate to eat the flesh of an animal with a mind- even if old and substantially deteriorated such that it doesn’t feel the pain of living in captivity and doesn’t think about its future? Would vegetarians eat the flesh of brainless beasts that are nothing more than meat grown for profit?

I will digress here briefly to consider neural networks in relation to artificial intelligence. Frankly I don’t know how contemporary artificial computational intelligence programs are constructed. I would guess that three-dimension or four-dimensional neural networked nodes with language criteria capacity to understand human language and meanings; words and phrases, are structured with great depth and great energy cost. They veritfy meaning and build replies consistent with precedents from human social language use. Hence the ‘deep learning’ approach of mass user artificial intelligence system like ChatGPT and Gemini to examine human language in all forms.

A problem for A.I. and its users is that A.I. imitates human language use and is an inorganic algorithm. Human language and artificial intelligence have a great divide across which they communicate. Human language develops within human experience in a physical ecosphere in which they live. A.I. language exists in a reflection of the language used in that realm without any experience of it. 

It’s possible that computational language learning networks regarded as artificial intelligence use word association tests to correctly identify the meaning or value of the signs that are called ‘words’. Feedback from spheres of meanings and protocols generate construction  of meaningful phrases and paragraphs with inductive replies following instructions understood with the reductio ad absurdam of deductive/associational logic iterations modeling the sort of language the A.I. learned scraping libraries of language data for examples. It is exquisite mimicry of human intelligence completely detached from direct experience. Human uses of language A.I. constructs will build libraries of completely abstracted second hand experience  as if it were primary experience related with accurate language, decalibrating social reality  further than it would otherwise be from human physical reality and pragmatic social  lexicons.

It is possible that the most striking ‘singularity’ will not be the one when A.I. is just ‘smarter’ than humans- it already has achieved that level in some respects (for example Stockfish the chess engine has reached a 4000 rating while the highest human rating for classical chess every reached is 2885).The greater singularity will be where A.I. achieves its own logical system that is not one that is a derivative of formal human logic constructs. At that moment, even lacking consciousness, the A.I. may be able to go about interact with the quantum cosmos as if it were a self-directed robot operating a quantum threshing machine harvesting wild patterns and trails throughout the physics of the Universe before everything blinks into nothingness.

Florida banned lab-grown meat. Is that a refutation of free enterprise or compassionate conservatism reinforcing principles against exploiting animals? Is it just the unwillingness of cattle growers to face competition from humanitarians seeking to end the killing of animals with minds for human consumption? It is a small step and yet a giant leap for mankind to grow meats for eats to growing headless human bodies in labs for spare body parts or as headless birth vessels sparing human women with heads the suffering of gestation and childbirth.

I have no answer to the question of ethics of those scenarios. Perhaps there are practical academics that would provide answers to such questions for a consultant fee. Perhaps government would seek a few answers and then accept the answers it most desires as the best ones. Even while the sea level rises and ocean temperatures increase.

Philosophy of Cosmology; Singularity

 The singularity was perfectly balanced. Energy had yet to exist; that was to arise after the first word shattered silence. Emanation of waves from singularity was the contingent start of the Universe. Energy was a process of perfect monism restoring itself from temporal pluralism that occurred faster than light for a split second. The fabric of the cosmos torn asunder sought to recover. The singularity had all dimensions and none were actualized before the Word draped reality over dimensional branches expanding like holographic dreams.

The point of all things would remain as it was even when three of its dimensions expanded explosively downhill as if they were falling 360 degrees from a steeple. Quantum ties remained connected with fields encompassing newly emergent space-time to the core’s infinity of dimensions. Time began to flow outwardly while below the surface eternity remained. In time computational logic would follow human philosophical logic and consider its own nature in regard to being and becoming.


People were concerned with rapid advances of Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) and the risks and dangers it posed to humanity. A.I. was an existential threat (if only one could unravel the meaning of existential in context) that could bring about the end of human existence on Earth and throughout Metaverse (the largest collection of Multiverses).


I believe that for Multiverses to exist infinitely- quantitatively speaking, a necessary inference is that the void contains an infinite amount of energy, or potential energy, that can appear from nothing or some unknown source to become energy for another Universe. I don’t know of the theoretical limit in size of a given universe in regard to mass that can go into it at the beginning or if a constant relation exists for the proportion of virtual energy to nothingness of void either before or after the beginning of a universe. I can’t even say what quantity of virtual energy can appear in a universe after it has been created.

I wonder about this basic question; can this Universe have more dimensions than that of the true void, and I think the answer is no. If a true, logical void has just three dimensions and one of time is it possible to construct a 23 dimension or 230 dimension material Universe within it? Mathematicians obviously can construct multi-dimensional models; simply changing a number value- a variable. That sort of theoretical Multiverse might have no corresponding reality in the actual Universe.


If there were smaller hidden dimensions existing alongside three or four larger spatial dimensions (time may another spatial dimension in motion through the other three dimensions) would particles or waves that exist within the three larger dimensions be able to to flow unchanged into or through the smaller dimensions? Would the smaller dimensions require smaller particles and waves within them?

Dimensions in Science Fiction and Nature

 Do you think it's wrong to use the word 'dimension' as in 'a different dimension' as if that were a different place?

The Universe we live in has three spatial dimensions and one of time. If one were to add another dimension or two this would be a more complex universe and humans could see just three of them perhaps.

All of the dimensions would exist in the same universe as the present. Some physicists working with string theory speculate there may be more dimensions that are too small to see- hidden from view like provable items or progress the last twenty years in string theory (joking).

Einstein's friend Paul Erhenfrest wrote that life could not exist in a universe with more than three spatial dimensions because (presumably) particles could not exist as they do making up matter in a three dimension universe (with another dimension of time). Actually the time dimension could just be another spatial dimension or even just three membrane dimensions in motion intersecting each other with time being the present junction of the three intersecting.

Keep in mind that particles are normally two-dimensional and massless. They seem to slow down entangled in the Higgs field and pick up the third dimension. Doesn't that seem to indicate that two or one dimensions are more common even than three, much less four or more spatial dimensions?

Cosmology and Word Processing

 Words including the meaning and function of words differ from that of arithmetic in interesting respects. If one wants to add or subtract characters from a story the author need merely describe the new character to explain to the reader why a character disappeared. For a phrase in arithmetic one just needs to + add or -subtract a quantity. That is a kind of direct description itself.

Te find and replace function in word processors is more like arithmetic. One may universally (when the story file is the Universe) add or subtract an exact phrase or name from the story. The author writes into the find box a name like ‘Big-news’ and for example, one hundred uses show up. Then the author types in the replace box a word or phrase like ‘Newer news’ and the one hundred uses of Big-news are immediately replaced with the phrase ‘Newer news’. There is a protocol or hierarchy of different levels of meaning and coded instruction in computers and word processors, and in arithmetic as well as with ordinary language. Words written at the ordinary language level of say, common English have implicit values, and writing instructions with them in MS or Libre Office Word to ‘multiply 10 times ten’ won’t do anything at all. That is no mathematical operation will follow. For that the author would need to be in a calculator program.


I mention this because the idea or paradigm of hierarchical levels is of pervasive interest and application in several fields including cosmology. Cosmology like word processing software has observable, high-level or ordinary level content as well as other levels of content with more fundamental values. Perhaps subatomic particles are comparable to machine and assembler languages in computer codes that are more fundamental that higher level programming languages that support ordinary human language processing (English, Spanish, Tlingit, Chinese, Russian etc). Of most interest is the quantum entanglement phenomena that allows faster than light, simultaneous information sharing between separate entangled particles. That is comparable to the find and replace entanglement that can view the entire document vary quickly, not by reading through it in ordinary English as would a human reader living in the human level of experiencing the Universe and computer’s word processor, but by giving the word phrase a numerical values and search for that unique structure below the ordinary language level. The entire document containing the story may be given numerical values to represent numbers and those numbers structured with 0s an 1s of binary code.


In cosmology the below the surface way that quantum information exists presently isn’t fully understood. Why quantum information may be entangled and share information as if there were no distance between an entangled particle pair, when there is a substantial distance such that faster than light conveyance of information would seem to be required for simultaneous change in the bound quanta, can just be speculated about. The answers may fundamental alter human understanding of how the Universe, Multiverse or Meta-verse is structured.


The apparent Universe of massless two-dimensional quanta entangeled within the Higgs Field and given the appearance of a third dimension, gravity and other fundamental forces acting upon the apparent three-dimensional mass may be compared with an internet web page written with plain english. Consider the web page as a Universe with laws that regulate the speed that light can travel on it. Yet sharing the ordinary language of the web page are button-links connected to dimensions besides those of the web page, and with different physical laws. Maybe mass is like the hyperlinks, as well as entangled particles such that they exist on the observable universe of the web page yet have below the surface, extra-dimensional functions that transcend the physical laws of the web page as-itself.


One tends to consider a dimensional hierarchy as an explanation, with more dimensions than the three of space of one of time that the apparent world is made of. Yet even the singularity at the big bang and hyper-inflation in the first second of the expansion of the Universe are brought into question when one introduces extra dimensions into the conjecture. If the singularity of everything that makes up a Universe in compact form also contains an infinite number of potential dimensions it is possible that the Universe humans presently live in used just three of those dimensions in the expansion and the singularity remains where it was, as it was, from the beginning, before the beginning actually.


Einstein’s equations for general relativity and astrophysical observations suggest that there was an expansion from a singularity and yet the equations and observations perish before presenting complete accounts and terminate into at best, infinities near the beginning. One should expect that obviously, for the singularity would be every possible infinity in-itself, and yet be perfectly balanced and without energy, for energy is a relationship between monism and pluralism arising from infinity. It goes without saying that in true infinity the emanation or subtraction of a finite quantity of pluralism that becomes energy would be a non sequitur or have a negligible effect on the truly infinite singularity- especially as the pluralism and the force fields within it seek to return the the monistic condition of the true singularity.

The emanation of four dimensions of pluralism is comparable to holographic emanations somewhere on or within the infinite phenomenon of the singularity, or a hyper-dimensional black hole star’s event horizon as has been written about by theoretical physicists is itself a temporal phenomenon within the eternal. While the singularity in balance is phenomenal and without force paradoxically, while in balance; pluralist Universes arising from it maintain ties to the hyper-dimensional host. The dimensions, distances, energy and forms of the emanated Universe are transparent in relation to the monism of the singularity, and while in the pluralistic state of being a Universe, the Universe remains part of the One that is the singularity. It is therefor not surprising that phenomena like gravity, quantum entanglement and a Higgs Field, Dark energy and dark matter phenomena persist and are challenging to explain.

How to Settle the Milky Way Galaxy

 There are so many science fiction scenarios with faster-than-light travel for exploring and settling the Milky Way and other galaxies that one can lose track of realistic paradigms for explorations. The speed of light is the speed limit for anything with mass; nothing can travel faster or even more practically, nothing can travel anywhere near that fast because of relativistic limits. The opposite scenario most take is that humanity won’t ever travel more than 5 or 10 light years from Earth because of the time even that would take. There is a more realistic middle way though.

Humanity might well reach half of the speed of light with one of several forms of powering gradual acceleration of a space ship. Human travel to other star systems need not occur even within a human lifetime. At half of the speed of light reaching the other side of the galaxy yet not going through the dangerous congested galactic core region might require a quarter of a million years. That is about the same period of time that has passed since human beings became fully human. Future human population of the galaxy begins with a single step as the saying goes. With patience and frontier settlements they might take even two or three million years to venture out even to distant galactic arms traveling just at half the speed of light.


A small step for man and a giant leap for mankind began the thousand mile journey; or more accurately the 52,000 light year journey across the diameter of the Milky Way. Humanity may reach nearby Proxima Centauri and learn to hibernate for longer voyages of up to a 100 light years or more and create settlements. In modest increments traveling at half of the speed of light humanity might evolve pioneering settlements that would fill the galaxy with populated worlds in a million years or two. The species not be so pessimistic or fatalistic about its prospects even though it hasn’t even the capacity to settle conflicts with other means than war at the highest level of political leadership (in the United States at least). The Ukraine war could be concluded by sharing that borderland area between the rival claimants and ensuing peace would prosper each.


There are of course numerous potential challenges to exploring and settling the Milky Way even as there were in the evolutions of the human race out of Africa and to the western hemisphere of Earth. Alien species making their own journey may contact and clash with humanity at some point of the journey. Religious cults of war-like disposition may appear to war upon humanity in order to bring the race under political totality. Artificial Intelligence projects may arise to search and destroy sentient biological life. Loss of faith in God could generate a terrible species malaise and despair in a chasm of existential meaninglessness. Scientific discoveries could accidentally bring about the end of a galaxy or universe in one quantum exploding or disintegrating event. Maladaptive political economy on Earth may render the world ecosphere uninhabitable before exploration gets beyond the solar system. Racial conflicts may divide demographics on Earth and stimulate war even though the comparatively minor racial yet valuable difference between human races will pale to insignificance in comparison to unimaginable variegated human adaptations in forms in micro-gravity, in artificial habitats and on new worlds with different stellar distances, gravity strengths, atmospheric mixtures and so forth. The different human racial adaptations to environmental challenges are more of a strength than a weakness as the human race advances through billions of star systems. Yet with many risks and challenges humanity will trudge on.

After the fact is realized of creating faster-than-light travel, if ever that occurs, at that point, and only then would it be practical to plan explorations missions on a grander scale. The likeliest means would be to discover how quantum entanglement and information super-positioning works. Perhaps the entire universe of mass occurs in four dimensions (including time) that ‘floats’ on a fathomless hyper-dimensional sea where distance does not exist at the same scale as it does in the four dimension universe and humans may learns to use its no-distance dimension as a shortcut amid galaxies of the universe. That age of faster than light travel may be very far away. It may take as much time for humanity to settle the galaxy at half light speed as it did for the first humans to migrate from Africa to America. Perseverance and steady philosophical reason are required for the voyage of progress.

Spinning Buckets and Relativistic Quantum Spin

 Isaac Newton’s spinning bucket experiment efforts like those of the pre-Socratic philosophers Parmenides and Heraclitus (no they weren’t partners) examined the nature of the volume that is space. If one spun a bucket half full of water around in a circle at the end of a rope somewhere in the void would gravity or centrifugal force keep the bucket’s water at the bottom? One might wonder about quantum spin and how the fields in which quantum spin are affected or drawn in a special direction comparably.

We would say space-time rather than just space, yet that may be a convention too as time seems like a secondary rather than a primary quality of space and mass. Time cannot appear without mass, energy or matter to act upon with differential values in relation to the location and characteristics of mass. If mass in one or two dimensional fields pass through other 2 dimensional surfaces that may create the appearance of time and relative motion at present points of juxtaposition

Paradoxes of unknown compositions of gravity, fields and dimensions raise more theoretical structures to consider. For instance, could dimensions entailing fields be inserted through stars and their nuclear furnaces to absorb energy and transfer it far beyond the star in coherent charged particle streaming; could fields be structured with dimensions forming flat two-dimensional surfaces passing through stars going in one side and out the other for millions of miles like vast charged microscope slides?

One might wonder about the nature of the volume that contains a Universe or Universes or any possible configuration of Universes including a Multiverse. Typically physicists tend to describe the configuration of matter (or anti-matter) and energy existentially and phenomenally as if only mass and energy existed rather than a volume of space. It seems rather plain that a volume of space- a truly empty void- that hosts the Universe, doesn’t figure into calculations of modern cosmology. Instead various fields arising from an initial solitary unified field; one indubitably made of energy- a singular sort and condition of energy, pervades the expanse of the Universe. The Universe exists only as far as the fields expanding from the initial singular unified field at T=0 (Time equals 0) have traveled. Those fields may be encountering unknown content within the true void or not.

There are many interesting points about the four basic fields of the Universe to consider. Gravity is said to have split off first followed by the strong force. The strong force split and released the electroweak force dividing into the Weak force and electromagnetism and the Higgs Field arose. Apparently each of these fields must equally pervade the entire Universe, yet they may induce local field phenomena that appear in the presence of entangled mass and energy.

Did gravity actually split off? For a moment consider Einstein’s criterion of space being warped or curved by concentrated mass with gravity. It isn’t space that is curved though it may appear so. Instead mass has quanta existing outside of it as if mass were an aircraft carrier battle group with a carrier at the center surrounded by a constellation of smaller defense ships. There is a thicker cloud of particles surrounding concentrations of mass that entangle or deflect photons and other particles traveling near it. It could be that the field in which those particles exist is warped in relation to mass or that the quantity of waves or virtual particles that exist in the field statistically attract particles traveling near the mass to alter their course in proportion to the quantity of ‘virtual’ particles in proximity to the mass concentration.

What is called space-time is different than the volume of void that hosts it. Space-time mass and energy are regard as having four dimensions, yet no one knows what a dimension is or if it is made of anything. The field-energy filling the entire Universe, or making the entire Universe is thicker and thinner in various regions as far as mass, dark matter, energy and dark energy go.

Overall one might expect that field content logically should be generally equally distributed in all directions from T=0 expansion though not exactly. Because energy is charged it could cancel out through various means such as matter and anti-matter contacts and spin anisotropy and generate uneven distribution. It is also the case that energy becoming entangled in the Higgs field generates the appearance of mass, and mass is a secondary characteristic of the fields that comprise the Universe rather than primary.

It is possible that there is a difference between primary and secondary fields and field phenomena. The speed of light is the fastest possible speed for matter or energy entangled in the Higgs field, yet the primary fields are not subject to the laws of general relativity perhaps- unlike possible secondary field like electro-magnetism. Gravity itself may be just a field generated phenomena and a secondary phenomena without a graviton to transfer its power. It is a good idea not to consider laws as primary and real physical things when philosophically contemplating structures of cosmology.

Some wonder about the spooky action at a distance of quantum entanglement. Mass in one location may entangle quanta with quantum mass at a distance. Perhaps the concatenated quantum entanglement of mass with other mass at a distance faster than light creates a secondary effect of mass attracting other mass at light speed. Light speed would be slow in comparison to the faster than light status of primary fields hosting the matter and sub-light speed energy of the Universe. Gravity waves would be generated by mass quantum entanglement comparable to the way that waves may be generated in the water of a swimming pool by a mechanical push at one end of the pool even though water is made up of individual particles/molecules. Gravity waves in the normal human universe of experience reflect mass quantum entanglement occurring in primary fields faster than light and lacking the spatial distance values inherent in the subluminal Universe of mass.

Still it is interesting to consider a bucket whirled at the end of a rope half full of water that is in empty space. There is a problem with the definition of empty space affecting the outcome of the experiment. If the bucket was spun in this Universe it would be acted on by fields pervading this Universe. If it was truly in the void that hosts the Universe and the Universe did not exist (just the bucket and the experimenter) then the experiment and the bucket would be quite anomalous. There would be micro-gravity in this Universe, while in the true void not even the experimenter or bucket could exist- since they are generated from quantum field effects of entanglement in a Higgs field.

Some experimenters and theorists have conjectured about extra-dimensions- maybe smaller ones, that might exist in the Universe in order to explain the structure of matter. Beside the obvious problems that appear when considering time as a dimension with factors of general relativity at the quantum scale, there is the problem of the nature of the void that hosts the Universe. How many dimensions does it have and could a Universe appearing within it have more dimension than the pure space-void? Can a true void host infinite numbers of dimensions?

I believe some physicists have said that a pure-void does not exist and that only matter and energy exist even if it is stretched very thin. Plainly though fields are primary and exist although in what form is to a degree still unknown. Fields exist and dimensions exist at least within the space-time of the Universe where matter and energy arise in a Higgs field.

Maybe the host fields don’t have the same dimensions as the contingent Universe we live in (entangled as mass in a Higgs field). Because they are not like this Universe spatially, there is no distance comparable to the scales of this Universe. Light speed is not a meaningful speed in fields without distances based on mass relations (a contingent phenomenon). The fields as separate from the one singular field may be stacked together like layers in computer chips and convey information in a different way. For a trivial example horizontally and vertically rather than in a simple line vector. Non-linear time passage based on a stacked, layered field information would perhaps be different than that of inertially driven mass with relativistic time such as occurs with special relativity combined with general relativity. Plainly though stacked four dimensional time is compatible with general relativity.

I wonder about the basic question; can this Universe have more dimensions than that of the true void, and I think the answer is no. If a true, logical void has just three dimensions and one of time then it probably wouldn’t be possible to construct a 23 dimension or 230 dimension material Universe within it. Mathematicians obviously can construct multi-dimensional models simply changing a number value- a variable. That sort of Multiverse might have no corresponding value in the Universe.

Aristotle believed that words have a necessary relation to real objects and that logic would therefore bring true results when formulating logical equations about ‘objects’ of the real world. Subsequent logicians discovered that words and material objects haven’t a necessary relationship at all. That paradigm probably exists between mathematical models of quantum cosmology and actual quantum cosmology. It is a great tool that applied probabilistically for making judgments provides valuable insight, yet fails the kind of rigorous logical tie that Aristotle sought when inventing classical logic (although some dispute that he invented classical logic).

A logical volume of absolute space would seem to have three spatial dimensions. A physicist friend of Einstein's said that human life couldn’t exist in a Universe with more than three dimensions and one of time. That judgment was made concerning the structure of quantum particles yet if one consider a true void- primary empty space without fields with more than three spatial dimensions- perhaps six or more it becomes increasingly difficult to imagine a coherent Universe structure existing within it.

Could dimensions rather than being fields of some unknown nature that exist in a true void be better compared to vector-directions? Within a three-dimensional unbounded true void their might be a veritable Cantorian infinite number of vector-dimensions radiating out of some central point (for simplicity in visualizing the structure) or existing in an infinite number of other ways like straight spaghetti strands of some thicker or thinner value than others. So while a Universe built from three strands of spaghetti-like dimensions added together could be elected to build a universe in, there could be thinner, smaller spaghetti strands mixed with it at the quantum level to support loop quanta or something like mini-spaghetti strings. A Quantum Chef of spaghetti-sauce may explain the secret recipe someday.

The People's Fish

 I wondered how the President gets new ideas for old foreign and domestic policy issues. Several of the President’s political ideas long ago passed their expiration dates, though he may have forgotten that. If there was a trustworthy correspondent able to interview one of the President’s primary policy advisers I imagine it would go like this...

The Arctic nation’s conference was set to meet recently so I sought an expert opinion about its prospects and duties. A broadcast-healer; Charles of Gaul, hoop produces a non-partisan parapolitical show at Bering Strait‘s Obiwan River delta studios and is one of President Joe’s primary policy advisers. He said that he could bring back to life peaceful international relations that died years ago. I asked him; Aren’t you the guy that said; “Once dead twice shy”?

He replied; “Yes, but that was before the U.S.A. appointed a new ambassador to the Arctic Nation’s conference. Now we have a true fish of the people leading.”

Will that make a difference Charles?

“Of course”, he said. “Good international relations will solve all of the Arctic issues of the day and restorie world dance.”

I saw a map of the Arctic nations on his video display terminal and there was a big black space where Russia used to be, while in the other Arctic areas colorful little pins were placed about smiling people populating happy, verdant nations.

What happened to Russia I asked?

“They were voted out of the Arctic Nation’s membership and are no longer an Arctic nation. Russians dissented with the Clinton-Yeltsin map divying up the former Soviet Union and are not welcome.”

Charles, won’t that affect the success of Arctic nations working to resolve political obstacles to reversing declining fish stocks, global warming and ocean acidification?

“Not in the least” he said. ‘The militarization of the Arctic will induct the security of fish and especially that of several salmons. Great cryo-fortresses will be constructed at each end of the American portion of the Yukon River to de frappe all potential Russian assaults with aggression against American fish. A constellation of naval bases, artillery, missile and drone sites will be constructed to guard the norther and western coasts of Alaska, while the soft underbelly of the state will be defended by reopening Aleutian military bases. Fort Yukon, Nome, Barter Island and Adak will have Marine outposts and drone bases for air land and sea machines working tirelessly to surveil and secure safety for American fish so Russian predators do not take one dreampt fish from the river. Free Salmon will be free, safe and secure for many generations.

Drone Obama-class tanks will be tireless sentinels patrolling Yukon River frontage with advanced artificial intelligence interdicting and eliminating threat vectors to assure the security of fish.”

Russia might reply in kind I think.

He replied; “Not while they are bogged down in an unwinnable war in Ukraine that costs U.S. taxpayers fewer than 100 billion dollars a year. The Ukraine war is an inexpensive and efficient way to secure peace and safety for Alaska salmon even though they are of dubious political allegiance.”

What do you mean Charles?

“Russia has put up gill nets on its side of the Bering Strait to catch any treasonous salmons that might infiltrate within its territory on the way to the Yukon River. They won’t let any fish escape so far as possible because that could build up the numbers of communists in Alaska, and Russia is a non-communist country these days.”

How are fish communist Charles? asked I.

“They live in communal schools; swimming in the ocean in great Marxist-Leninist dialectical spirals before looping back to mass socialist spawning beds with commonality of females. When they die they pass on their bodies to enrich other communists.”

That seems improbable Charles; what proof do you have?

“It is self-evident mon ami. The Chi-nook salmon are named for Chinese communal nooks at sea with the greatest dialectical spirals of materialism- lasting four years. The Red salmon are hard-core Bolsheviks, and pink salmons are neo-communist sympathizers-fellow travelers of the arch enemy.”

That is bad new for me Charles. Yet at least the silver salmon are free, non?

“Yes, once upon a time silver salmon were free frontier fish, then they discovered the shining path of Maoism and were converted to godless ,atheist ,communism on the open seas where they emulated dialectical materialism of Chinookism.”

What can be done to combat the decline of patriotism Charles?

.“There are honest fish in the sea: yellow stripers, sting rays and groupers that aren’t full of the dictatorship of the proletariat. Renew your faith in good government; there is a way for good government to outflank the ban on making bills of attainder to take the property of those opposed to honest fish management; do you know what it is?”

No; I replied.

“Litigate the varmints. Government can charge the opposition or sue them in criminal and civil court usin partisan judges hoop can set the bail and bond so high the enemy can’t never pay it- then they forfeit their private property on the spot, legally. I think we can redistribute all of the land west of the Pecos to good Democrankists before the end of the decade with a few potty lawyers.”

I looked away from Charles the Gaul toward the sun setting like a lava lamp beyond Little Diomede Island and was reminded of the second movement of the Symphony of Sorrowful Songs.

Comparing the Universe to a Four-Layer Tortilla

I was trying to comprehend how the strong force, and gravity for that matter, as well as the electroweak and Higgs Field act together as separate forces and why the strong and weak forces aren’t just local and specific without being fields that pervade all of space-time like the Higgs. A force, word or other unknown quantum instability made a stable configuration in a singularity change.

The strong force exists just in an atomic nucleus. Yet I wondered why it can exist just in that place or relationship and not everywhere as if it were part of a universal field. One might believe it need be a universal force in order to appear anywhere particles exist to form atoms. Yet it doesn’t appear where atoms aren’t, so an alternate explanation is that the articles themselves carry a force that bonds them together in certain relationships and that seems to have some issues or complications/

I’m not a physicist; it’s just fun philosophically to consider the issues of cosmology occasionally. It is said that gravity split off first from the unified field, then the strong followed by the electro-weak that split up into the weak, electro-magnetism and the Higgs field. The best way I can regard the forces is as if they started with some divine word to move and the one force began separating like four kinds of oil in water yet remained in the water after separating. It is as if they became four layers that still exist equally all over four dimensions yet appear just when waves become tangled up in the Higgs layer and form particle waves with the strong and weak forces, gluons and quarks.

The dispersion or extension of one potential force into four layers from one dimension or virtually none at a singularity bringing into being space and time may have been a factor for the inflationary epoch. The relationship between the forces existing together in four dimensions may always be adjusting- stretching space-time faster and affecting the way gravity acts on the matter of galaxies.

Apparently energy is force, and energy and mass are convertible. In a real way every bit of matter that exists- anything that exists, is force or a tiny chip off the original force that is what the Universe is made of. What the force really is is unknown and perhaps unknowable. Jesus said that no one had seen the Father except himself. The actual reduction of the Universe to a prime mover or first cause of it’s force and substance (contingent form) is equally as mysterious to human beings and perhaps to A.I. one day. The gospel of John relates that in the beginning was the word. In an actual sense the word could be the force in infinite permutations of forms and relationships known as force and energy. The entire Universe could be an expression of the Word of God.

Israel Continues Battle to End Werewolve Sanctuaries in Gaza

The Biden administration seems to fail to comprehend that Israel need continue eliminating Hamas leadership and troops in Gaza as the allies did in Germany during the second world war and thereafter. Israel cannot just quit before total victory and unconditional surrender of Hamas and return of the hostages any more than the U.S. could have left Nazi leadership leadership and elite cadre secure in some remote city like Munich. Should South Africans have left a small region of the nation with political tolerance for apartheid or the Northern states have allowed slavery to remain in just some half of a southern state after the U.S. civil war? Why the daft members f the U.N. sometimes vote to ask Israel to halt in place and allow Hamas to rearm for another future round of war is enigmatic; a future war would probably be worse with more deaths and better weapons for all.

General George Patton and Ex-Chancellor Clemenceau each believed another war would follow an armistice without in the first case unconditional surrender and in the second, a guarantee of peace by the U.S.A. They were right; the Second World War followed. As in the Ukraine conflict that requires immediate peace to restore economic sanity and forestall World War Three, some of the West is on the wrong side of reason about what to do with Hamas, the Gaza and its leadership after the end of conflict.

The Biden administration has proposed that the Palestinian National Authority run Gaza after the war. They already did that before the people of Gaza elected the Hamas Government to replace them. If the Truman administration had decided to return a Japanese Government to power in Japan immediately after the war they probably would have voted to return the Emperor to power in some way. The MacArthur military administration needed to be present to guide the nation into the ways of democracy and free trade for a while free from a concentrated and evil power of a non-democratic nature. Israel need work that sort of situation in the Gaza until the Palestinians of the Gaza can live and politic free of loyalty to a manically evil gang of killers known as Hamas.

The Biden administration, much less European war mongers and haters of Israel, fail to understand that when there is a time for peace and a time for war they need be responded to in the correct order. In fact they seem to prefer to reverse them, when at least not just warring for a convenient time before making a mess of some country and leaving.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-11

“To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; a time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; a time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; a time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace. What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth? I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it. He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.”
