With a 24 hour surface capture rate of 15,000 barrels of oil in a 24 hour period since the recovery cap was placed after about 50 days of unchecked flow, it may be reasonable to extrapolate that a minimum of 20,000 barrels per day of 50 gallon barrels have escaped into the Gulf of Mexico since the escapement was allowed to occur. That means that 50 million to 350 million gallons of crude oil (was it light sweet crude?) has been released so far since the busted wellhead blow-out enabler was accomplished. That sure tars and feathers President Obama's environmental safety record. He needs political dispersants equal to that of BP in propaganda recovery tactics now.
The long range effect upon the Gulf of Mexico and world fishery is incalculable. One wonders watch catches of deep, crude oil and 'dispersant' chemicals will travel upon the world's deep ocean currents and swirl to the cold depths on even 10,000 year cycles toward the Bering Strait and Arctic Ocean?
How many parts per million in ocean water does one hundred million gallons of crude oil dispersed produce?
It will be more difficult with good conscious to eat Gulf of Mexico seafood products the next three decades at least with the significant possibility of untested contamination in various fish or bottom dwellers that have encountered caches of contaminants. Certainly the U.S. food and drug inspection is only spotty, while the new BP contaminants will be spotty as well, or even randomized in the turbulence of deep ocean currents and upwelling.
We would have been happier if the President of the United States had acted early to sap the busted wellhead at depth with Bangalore torpedoes a half mile down to permanently seal off the well. The President is the Chief Executive Officer rather than the Chief Litigation officer, yet the difference in roles seems to have escaped Mr. Obama on this one issue. Well, at least we are assured that the residual escaping few thousands barrels per oil per day will be halted at least in a few months.
If the sapping and sealing of oil wells had been tested at the BP well it should have been a proven technique for future mass disasters when they occur, instead of just a neglected theory. There is another concern though, that might be more fitting for bureaucrats to address on oil contamination disposal and that is the sequestration at a depth of a mile and a half of polluted liquids in sand formations. If that water travels in various currents, it may eventually reach such a depth offshore and escape into the ocean from whence it first journeyed from the BP wellhead. The deep subsurface mapping of warmer earth layers is perhaps not perfect and may allow for upwelling and other forms of convection--why should such a pervasive applied risk be accepted as another normal byproduct of an idiot oil industrial cult that should not need to overproduce in order to power fossil fuel engines. Why waste perfect good lubricants on production of motion of wheeled box-carts? Why not develop a variety of high tech individual and mass human and freight motivator technologies for immediate national development to eliminate the fossil fuel powered vehicle for good?

U.S. Government Domestic Policy Is More Bad Than Good on Many Issues
President Obama’s choice of a National Security Intelligence Director may give one cause to wonder. Will the enemies of the United States believe Obama is giving the U.S. Intelligence community ‘the clap’ Mr. Clapper may have been a bell ringer under Defense Secretary Gates, yet he is lucky to have the chance to leave Defense before the openly Gay military policy is enacted, if Republicans cannot find some way to prevent that openly sinful policy.
In Afghanistan the U.S.A. has a spend hundreds of billions of dollars of borrowed money policy to give the brother of a heroin supply grower time to cut a deal with the Taliban to govern so we can retreat with peace with honor before the country returns to chaos. Afghanistan is a large Muslim nation that we cannot convert into a nation of big screen t.v. watching couch potatoes overnight. If we spend trillions there to make muslims give up their beliefs and love a homosexual military themselves, and women with abortion kits in their handbags, it will cost many billions of dollars annually for a decade or two while we may have more pressing places to bomb.
U.S. policy should be more conservative on foreign occupations—bomb if we must, but do not occupy nations for long and waste trillions of dollars like drunken sailors with stock in the defense munitions industry.
Immunodeficiencies in the intelligence community were a cause for the success of the Al Qa’eda attack on the Pentagon that killed so many naval personnel. Richard Clarke’s warnings were ignored as were others. Instead of conventional military responses to what are fundamentally intelligence and border control issues, we should have just had a just say no to illegal immigration policy, developed a K.G.B. first directorate quality intolerance for illegal immigration, hijacking of airplanes or legal immigration of terrorists through bad airport screening, and developed better spy agencies and relationships with foreign intelligence services. The conventional military response was and is largely incompetent and ineffectual.
After we leave Iraq, a coup d’etat may bring another Saddam Hussein into office. In Afghanistan, the sheer mass of Asian numbers of Muslims and population demographics preclude U.S. protracted political control. This nation ought not continue a support the dictator kind of policy especially now that the cost of doing so has reached a level that is nearly self-destructive. Such a stupid policy has destroyed other nations before in history. There is nothing wrong with using good political intelligence and experiencing general national prosperity. Us poor Americans appreciate times of prosperity personally more than the perennial well-off.
The Naval Chairman of the Joint Chief of Staff Mullins supports the change to an openly Gay military policy—was he in the Pentagon when the Al Qa’eda terrorism mission happened, was he always a supporter of an openly homosexual friendly military?
The oil spill in the Gulf is another kind of attack on U.S. ecological infrastructure. The oil may be considered a synthetic retrovirus attack on the health of the ocean and marshes. The President failed to order the demolition of the well shaft in a timely way to close down the outlet to the surface. Such a sapping technology should be designed for any potential future recurrences, as if enemies of the United States might choose to attack such obviously vulnerable targets close to the United States.
The Mexican border flood of millions of illegal alien workers is another immunological insult to the United States economic health. If the border were closed down to illegal aliens with 25,000 U.S. troops arresting illegals and building a half-mile control zone of elevated berms and deep ditches with electric patrol cars driving along with electronic motion and optic sensors, then two years later the national unemployment rate would probably drop by two percent as labor scarcity developed and wages rise. Illegal aliens are a primary assault on labor scarcity and wage value of labor. The Government tends to want cheap labor as it helps concentrate wealth for the rich. U.S. politicians tend to be whores for global corporations these days if not of Babylon the Great and a globalized satanic evil empire. Few politicians talk about U.S. nationalism—that just isn’t cool for the deficit spending capitalist tools. They forget there is also democracy and individualist free enterprise interests equally important as globalist corporate and socialist collectives.
The development of synthetic life forms is an attack on all natural life. With such creations the human genome is threatened with alteration by corrupt biological inventions. The government should swiftly hang those that modify the human genome directly, and electrocute those that produce synthetic life forms. I only say this because some atheist biologist believe that any change to life is o.k., and they are smart enough to throw the dice for all humans and all living things anytime they want with no possibility of error of catastrophic cascading change for the bad. A human immunological response representing all living things would be simply to kill the biological vectors undermining the stability of all living natural life forms. Biologists tend to be thoughtless eat or be eaten predators on this issue politically. The government if reasoning properly (only joking) would swiftly pass legislation making for a lifetime sentence with no possibility of parole for any homo sapien that manufactures synthetic life forms, or changes the human genome without extensive public consideration and a vote of approval for that Niagara Falls sort of irreversible risk taking.

Why The Long-Range U.S. Economic Posture Is Bad
The long-range economic prospects for the United States seem rather grim. My point of view isn't that of an economist--perhaps more that of an historical perspective guides my thought. The United States has yet to collapse as all other older nations have. It must learn that its own economic fate is in a conservation of national interest and economic health rather than in the greener fields abroad. The Government should not just try to support the prosperity of global corproations--they are in the business of taking a profit rather than being ofn service to the citizens of the United States.
Toynbee and a number of other general historians noted cycles of civilization. The wax and wane, rise and fall, through good times and bad forecasters may predict an inevitable sprawl. We like to think on the contrary, that intelligent design may direct and economy in advance through the shoal waters or rough currents and rocks toward better than chaotic random trial and error such as insentient worms may pursue drift mining nuggets of nutrition. Planning ahead may afford nation zoning license for front lawn gardening everywhere with no exception. we can see that home grown potatoes and fruit still have real consumer value.
The United States with brilliant ex-patriots and a mostly unpopulated continent had a couple hundred years of good luck of development. Its industrial development occurred at a time of grace with waterfalls, wood and electric power giving way to horseless carriages. Yet its destiny is not guaranteed by any means such that it cannot fail. It can and will fail economically and politically if it hasn't interest in conserving and defending its blessings as they are. That does not mean wasting trillions in foreign wars against ad hoc insurgents. Stupidity in foreign war spending doomed several nations in the past. The Obama administration continues the stupid Bush II policies in that regard, perhaps in order to achieve a Nixonesque 'peace with honor'. If one isn't going to annex a foreign nation, or it doesn't share the same basic values as one's own already before the war, it is improbable that the defeated nation will give up its religion and culture after one stops spending billions and billions there.
The United States has lost track of its national values of its tradition largely. Like the Roman Republic it has outgrown its territorial limits in a quest of greed or power. Unlike the ancient Italian Republic it has much room--more than enough, for its own prosperity. It simply chooses to pursue reckless and profligate business practice equally harmful to the ecosystem at home and abroad.
In Afghanistan the United States is protecting poppy growing for heroin (President Karzai's brother), defending Chinese communist copper mining ventures, encouraging negotiations with the Taliban, training an army in the best U.S. military methods so they can train terrorists better after we leave Afghanistan and stop the financial hemorrhage.
In the United States the Sect. of Defense and Chairman of the joint Chiefs of Staff openly support and openly gay is o.k. military policy, the nation supports abortion, and the nation has accepted the creation of a half a million new federal jobs as 'economic recovery'. the Obama plan is to added ten trillion dollars more public debt before beginning a balanced budget--who is he kidding? The people of the United States cannot afford in some distant decade to pay interest on 20 trillion dollars to globalists who also own their mortgages. Instead the nation will become politically meaningless with flunkies loyal to global corporations that are no better than elitist collectives with totalitarian political control over the free speech and though of their employee-minions extorted by need for work into silence.
Europe has of course learned the hard lessons that political management of a good sort isn't superfluous and that manifest destiny does not often guide the political affairs of mankind. Without a care for restoration of a healthy environment, flooding the nation with cheap labor from Mexico and outsourcing jobs abroad, letting government retirees collect more than working people annually, being guided by a corrupt financial service sector that cannot readily restart its plundering of U.S. finance even with government guarantees because the accounts are already suffering from their predation--the United States faces many challenges ahead.
The Obama administration seeks to restart the Clinton cycle of plundering and outsourcing--yet that is the wrong course. It should instead turn to a national ecological economic refoundation of the U.S. economy and rectify the misguided social security system such that a means test is given and only those earning less than 2/3rds of the average income may receive benefits. The United States may have its mortgages owned by the Chinese,and destiny in 50 years decided by foreign mercenary military under global corporate rule if economy perfidy does not first destroy the present U.S.A.
Historical lessons are hard to learn from and even harder to correct in advance in order to keep the U.S.A. viable. Meaningful economic reform isn't a likely scenario given the sort of people in government and media. Neither socialism nor corporatism contains the remedy for American enterprise, individualism and a secure border and social safety net including health care for the poor. The federal government doesn't require a libertarian sort of archaist freedom for global collective of business to take over-nor even foreign corporations from Dubai or then Chinese Red Army, it needs a determination to prioritize and sort ecologically efficient U.S. businesses of less than 3000 employees, to limit the number of companies an individual may hold an interest in to three.
The government needs to reallocate the digital broadcast wavelength spectrum to citizen enterprise internet relayed broadcasts with local citizens prioritization for burst slots. The government has a need to cut the anticipated new federal debt to no more than 3 trillion dollars during the next decade, and in fact to start a major overhaul of governance something like that which F.D.R. undertook, yet without a socialist or corporatist collective drift. The United States needs much government defining of new ecologically economic parameters today rather than to try to plug the holes in a leaky globalist bucket that is a vampire upon the future sovereignty, prosperity and health of the citizens of the United States.

How Pope Ratzinger Can Reform the Church With an Internal Affairs Unit
The present Pope Ratzinger has a difficult job. He was elevated from the position of clerk to a Polish pope of heroic stature. His tenancy was bound to be a letdown and his conduct of reaction and reform to the Catholic Commercial priest sex perversion problem requires a transparency and forthrightness he has difficulty with. Well, he isn't a Medici pope, so it isn't all bad. I will provide some paradigm forms to provide solutions to the infiltration of the commercial catholic priesthood by pedophiles.
The pope needs to form an internal affairs agency to investigate sex crimes allegedly perpetrated by the catholic commercial priesthood. Of course it would be far better if the Pope was simply a reformer like Martin Luther and would nominate that late priest for sainthood. Martin Luther believed a priesthood of believers should exist. I have written about how to create such a modern structure without a specialized, upper class commercial and hierarchical priesthood, yet that is a challenge that some brave future Pope with lots of chutzpa might try. Our good German Pope Ratzinger has yet a challenging task to accomplish in establishing a catholic Internal Affairs bureau to investigate sex corruptions charges by the exploited flock.
I would venture to guess that perhaps one priest of every 25 is an occasional pervert victimizing children. Plainly an objective board served with professional investigators needs to look into every particular charge to determine its veracity and then recommend objective actions such as suspension, referral to law enforcement agencies and dismissal.
If there is one catholic priest for each ten-thousand citizens generally, then there would be a thousand priests for each million people. There might be as many as 50 priestly perverts for each million souls in society, and perhaps three investigators with professional experience would be sufficient, along with staff support, to examine 50 cases annually. A society with a half a billion souls such as North America would need 1500 professional investigators and staff. Each continent of the world might need as many. The new Catholic Internal Affairs Sex Crimes Investigation Unit would then need hire about 10,000 investigators initially--and that could be a bargain in savings on future lawsuit settlements that would be avoid.
The throughput of catholic priests of course isn't a high turnover annual rate, so when the internal affairs unit process through the backlog and dismisses the guilty, their caseload number should decline. The existence of a just and competent anti-perversion unit will discourage the catholic commercial priesthood as a hangout for pederasts, and that would be helpful to the trust of the faithful. Of course in the absence of a Lutheran one-level priesthood of believers’ church, the devil has an inherent advantage in power relationships over others. It may be that none can relinquish the hierarchical advantage that is a holdover of ancient or medieval forms of social organization; one antipathetic to the cause of Christ as given in the Gospels.
Walking in the night from a train in Germany in December 1987, I reached a brick street and alley with a yellow streetlamp overhead dimly illuminating the scene. I saw in my mind's eye very plainly the crucified Christ carrying his cross. A German Pope can take upon himself the mission of creating an internal affairs department in order to protect the faithful from the increasing dissolution of the influence of evil.

Yet its destiny is not guaranteed by any means such that it cannot fail. It can and will fail economically and politically if it hasn't interest in conserving and defending its blessings as they are. That does not mean wasting trillions in foreign wars against ad hoc insurgents. Stupidity in foreign war spending doomed several nations in the past. The Obama administration continues the stupid Bush II policies in that regard, perhaps in order to achieve a Nixonesque 'peace with honor'. If one isn't going to annex a foreign nation, or it doesn't share the same basic values as one's own already before the war, it is improbable that the defeated nation will give up its religion and culture after one stops spending billions and billions there.
The United States has lost track of its national values of its tradition largely. Like the Roman Republic it has outgrown its territorial limits in a quest of greed or power. Unlike the ancient Italian Republic it has much room--more than enough, for its own prosperity. It simply chooses to pursue reckless and profligate business practice equally harmful to the ecosystem at home and abroad.
In Afghanistan the United States is protecting poppy growing for heroin (President Karzai's brother), defending Chinese communist copper mining ventures, encouraging negotiations with the Taliban, training an army in the best U.S. military methods so they can train terrorists better after we leave Afghanistan and stop the financial hemorrhage.
In the United States the Sect. of Defense and Chairman of the joint Chiefs of Staff openly support and openly gay is o.k. military policy, the nation supports abortion, and the nation has accepted the creation of a half a million new federal jobs as 'economic recovery'. the Obama plan is to added ten trillion dollars more public debt before beginning a balanced budget--who is he kidding? The people of the United States cannot afford in some distant decade to pay interest on 20 trillion dollars to globalists who also own their mortgages. Instead the nation will become politically meaningless with flunkies loyal to global corporations that are no better than elitist collectives with totalitarian political control over the free speech and though of their employee-minions extorted by need for work into silence.
Europe has of course learned the hard lessons that political management of a good sort isn't superfluous and that manifest destiny does not often guide the political affairs of mankind. Without a care for restoration of a healthy environment, flooding the nation with cheap labor from Mexico and outsourcing jobs abroad, letting government retirees collect more than working people annually, being guided by a corrupt financial service sector that cannot readily restart its plundering of U.S. finance even with government guarantees because the accounts are already suffering from their predation--the United States faces many challenges ahead.
The Obama administration seeks to restart the Clinton cycle of plundering and outsourcing--yet that is the wrong course. It should instead turn to a national ecological economic refoundation of the U.S. economy and rectify the misguided social security system such that a means test is given and only those earning less than 2/3rds of the average income may receive benefits. The United States may have its mortgages owned by the Chinese,and destiny in 50 years decided by foreign mercenary military under global corporate rule if economy perfidy does not first destroy the present U.S.A.
Historical lessons are hard to learn from and even harder to correct in advance in order to keep the U.S.A. viable. Meaningful economic reform isn't a likely scenario given the sort of people in government and media. Neither socialism nor corporatism contains the remedy for American enterprise, individualism and a secure border and social safety net including health care for the poor. The federal government doesn't require a libertarian sort of archaist freedom for global collective of business to take over-nor even foreign corporations from Dubai or then Chinese Red Army, it needs a determination to prioritize and sort ecologically efficient U.S. businesses of less than 3000 employees, to limit the number of companies an individual may hold an interest in to three.
The government needs to reallocate the digital broadcast wavelength spectrum to citizen enterprise internet relayed broadcasts with local citizens prioritization for burst slots. The government has a need to cut the anticipated new federal debt to no more than 3 trillion dollars during the next decade, and in fact to start a major overhaul of governance something like that which F.D.R. undertook, yet without a socialist or corporatist collective drift. The United States needs much government defining of new ecologically economic parameters today rather than to try to plug the holes in a leaky globalist bucket that is a vampire upon the future sovereignty, prosperity and health of the citizens of the United States.

Economic War on American Working Poor Spends Trillions in Iraq & Afghanistan
The Obama administration permissively allows the busted U.S. border security to flow illegal alien Mexican migrants north to devastate U.S. worker wage values, and the busted BP oil wellhead to send 10,000 to 30,000 barrels of crude oil into the Gulf of Mexico each days for forty days and nights plus devastating the ecological-economic health of critical habitat. The Harvard lawyer globalism in government brings devastating consequences to individual free enterprise nationalism. Some painters cannot afford to buy a man-lift for two and three story ladder reaches!
Globalism has taken over the U.S. Government since the end of the cold war. Globalism enriches the riches and seeks optimal methods for concentrating wealth. It also impoverishes ordinary Americans whom are trimmed through a thousand cuts of global networking.
Bush I declared the New World Order, yet Bill Clinton greased through the freeing up of U.S. home mortgages for buying and selling as commodities; the Chinese government could then buy up U.S. home mortgages.
In the 1990s Wall Street investment firms and banks devised new ways to sell out America and take cheap, non-renewable profits with diminishing returns to the national prosperity. The nation was hit by a triple economic assault by Washington leadership.
1) NAFTA sent U.S. manufacturing to Mexico, U.S. policy also outsourced jobs to China,
2) Illegal immigration sent tens of millions of cheap laborers to the U.S.A. to reduce the scarcity of domestic labor and its value
3) A number of financial mechanisms were developed to stimulate economic growth primarily to concentrate wealth. The housing industry was one such effort.
With U.S. mortgages being made globally tradable commodities, turnover sales percentages were made simply to create profit without rational national need for more housing. With millions of very cheap laborers available to build modularized homes, and the largest possible size homes that might be sold constructed by developers, with contracts signed by home- buyers that could not stand an economic shock, and with foreign nations holding the paper. The home production industry inflated prices and supply. Eventually the market crashed for a while.
If the market crash left many Americans homeless, the government in theory created a Tarp fund to ‘bail out lenders. Maybe that is the Chinese Communist Government in part, who bought mortgages as a way to invest its excess profits in U.S. securities and other American properties.
The Chinese Government was facing a win-win scenario as the U.S. housing industry tanked of course. As homebuyers defaulted unable to buy such large homes the Chinese an other foreign investors became the home owners themselves and could rent out the homes during times when Americans could no longer afford to buy.
The globalization of the U.S. Housing mortgage business landscape made a global landlord of American homes, drove prices up, crashed the market for consolidation of ownership and new rentals, and then is bailed out by added taxpayer debt. The foreign governments also are the lenders of the dollars to bail out their own housing market investments in the United States. Obviously this is the fault of the U.S. Bush, Clinton and Obama administrations rather than the foreign opportunists encouraged by corrupt Wall Street financial pimps to buy the United States.
An ecological economic transformation of the United States is not forthcoming, for it would conflict with the global constellation of cheap profit financial pimp networks making a virtue of structures of ineffective protracted foreign wars of no logical end—a classical military blunder—at tremendous opportunity cost to the United States, and of several polices that destroy U.S. national interest.
If the U.S. Government seeks to make of the military a tool for an economic simile of theophagy consuming the posterity and future of a free and intelligent United States of America in order to enrich globalists. Disabling political support to particularize the security of citizens within an economic and spiritual metric is simply one avenue of ingression for a globalist derationalization of intelligent individualism.
Networks leading a common group-think (vis Janis) cannot substitute for competent and bold, ecologically economic and nationalistic political leadership in Washington.

Loop Quantum Gravity etc Better Than Strings? Alt Logic
I want to write something about deconstruction of string theory, or at least a deprogramming step away from that membrane prone edge of theory. I have read a couple other books by Moffat and Smolin recently in theories besides string, super-string or M theory, such as modified gravity, modified Newtonian gravity, loop quantum gravity and so forth--so much of this theorizing about string can be quite wrong.
String theories may have an infinite number of solutions or versions. Even general and special theory may be somewhat wrong; there could be Double Special Relativity, or DSR version I and DSR II. There is another kind of geometry that might change things a little--non-commutative geometry.
Perhaps logic is changed by non-commutative geometry too.
Kripke wrote in Naming and Necessity about rigid designators in modal logic (amongst other things). Non-commutative geometries could change the functions of logic too, for that matter, how does one adapt logic to a background independent intellectual paradigm that should be associated, if it is to be applied to real-world objects and events, with a relativistic space-time field of mass-energy?
Rigid identifiers must exist within a Quinian kind of ontological relativity or lexicon I would think if they are to have an independent background rather than a dependent one that pejoratively comprises a sort of Newtonian 'absolute space' of meaning. Yet rigid identifiers could also have a non-commutative or anisotropic nature--they are only temporally rigid rather than necessarily rigid. Within a non-commutative paradigm of meaning, rigid identifiers that have a given address or relativistic meaning would continue so only phenomenally and not reversibly.
Rigid identifiers as emergency terms might reflect the logic of space-time a little better, yet space-time itself in many modern cosmology theories does not exist. Space may be a construction of discrete causal blocks that together comprise an order considered to be time, yet time may be just a conscious experience of journey through those causal blocks spiritually.
There may be an infinite number of branes and strings, hyper-strings and variable speed of light criteria making this a complicated universe to deconstruct schematically. Perhaps human conscious sentience is of such a spiritually different nature of mass-energy that theories made by humans for a unified field that is comprehensive will always be different itself--that is the theorists are not really included within the material or subject studied and thereby uncertainty is introduced. We know for certain that a non-sentient universe has no uncertainty to it (just guessing).
Perhaps I will consider modal logic and cosmology someplace else than here. II simply wanted to point out that string theory is a sort of national scientific academic cult of 30 years standing so far. I hadn't realized that! There are other ways to regard the scientific data acquisition efforts for cosmological theory besides within a string it together construction.
Personally I believe that the Kantian noumenal-phenomenal distinction will always hold even in cosmology and quantum mechanic theories about the ultimate nature of reality. The best value of theoretical physics will be in discovery of pragmatically valuable navigation data, and the limits of certainty of what is will always be phenomenal.

On Deprogramming from String Theory; Return to God and Post-Classical Mechanics With Faith
String Theory was developed about thirty years ago to continue the inquiry of theoretical quantum researches into the construction of the Universe. Its professorial priests have taken over the halls of higher learning in the United States to the exclusion of their brethren with other interests in cosmological physics and quantum mechanics. The traditional call of God unto faith in the eternal source of Being has been eclipsed a little by mathematical tensors unto tomorrows deepened by farther unexplored multi-dimensional theoretical levels of creation. The unknown M-Theory is alike a clue from Arnie Saknusson left toward the grail of a unified field theory.
Well, as a Christian with an avocation in philosophical reading I have encountered a few books recently by Moffat, Smolin and other physicists that have served as a kind of deprogramming remedy to some of the multi-verse theory string and super-string based books by Greene and others. One may ask how a non-commutative geometry could compare with super-string theory aesthetically on the virgin beaches of theoretical physics for the attention of weekenders looking for action; seeking the curvaceous, beautiful theoretical explanation for the order of all being of this Universe? One should know better than to stray far from the standard word of God about these kinds of things, for the Charybdis and Scylla of false theories draw the unwary boaters to the rocks of despair and many wrecks there are that provide fuel for nature’s natural recyclers of shipwrecks.
Ultimately, physical theories of cosmology may just explain what it is that human beings experience, and that includes what we experience through enhanced measuring technologies. Cosmological theories and theoretical physics do not have the capability for explaining the absolute truth-for there is no absolute truth apart from God. One must rely upon faith in Jesus Christ to renormalize unto the absolute truth. Such absolute, foundational truth is safely reserved for a better universe than this present one.
Psalm Seven, verses 3-5 reads “When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which though hast ordained: What is man that thou art mindful of him? And the son of man, that thou visitest him?
For Thou has made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.”
The effort to comprehend the physical universe mechanically—that is how it is made operationally if not originally issued, has been a human historical mission op. As wrong ideas that served as partial research methods of inquiry were taken up and discarded for better ones, the Christian has experienced the chaff of incompleteness and error in rival theories stripped away as nothing besides faith remains to reply on.
String theory may not be false—it does not make physical prediction that can be falsified such as good theories have before including those of Newton and Einstein. String theories (there are an infinite number of versions), are brilliant mathematical models of alternative extra-dimensional mathematical constructions that could explain the math of the quantum mechanical world in such a way that gravity too is included, and a unified field theory produced. It was one marvelous new approach to theoretical physics developed after the standard model of quantum mechanics was mostly complete.
I have no intention of reviewing excellent books such as Smolin’s ‘The Trouble With Physics’ here. I just wanted to point out to those Christians and philosophers interested in cosmology that there are a number of other theoretical approaches to discovery of the unifying principles of macro and microphysics besides string theory.
One of the more interesting approaches is that of non-commutative geometries. I understand this topic fundamentally not at all, yet I will write something about it anyway, so the subject is not simply lost from my journal reference index…
Most geometries are symmetric and holistic—such as Euclidean and Riemannian. They have universal principles. Non-Commutative geometries do not require such principles better suited for an absolute space (that does not necessarily represent real space well at all).
Non-commutative geometry could phenomenally change in time; it could be one-way and irreversible. One special benefit of that is that it could perhaps represent Einstinean space-time geometry a little better within a time-changing universe. I do not use the word ‘evolving’ here because change of a physical system does not necessarily imply evolution. Evolution requires a meta-structural principle background in which change may compile, and in which a continuity of change can compile. Phase changes of a physical system may on the other hand, occur without regard to an evolving contingent structure.
A non-commutative geometry may be able to describe a space-time universe inclusive of all mass and energy as a changing, dynamic phenomenality. Mass and energy may be phenomenal ‘ties’ or knots in the geometry. There would be no separate particles or waves in the geometry of the space-time, all would be a description of the metric of the field itself.
Smolin introduced the idea of a background independent theory (of the universe) in ‘The Trouble With Physics’. Einstein’s general relativity theory best fits such an independence criteria as a description of space-time as a field, for the geometry of a space-time field is relative to its local characteristics. If the field can change with time, irreversibly, a non-commutative math might well describe it.
It is a kind of ultimate contingent universe we might understand with faith in God and regard for the appearance of the phenomenal as a thing-for-itself.
There may be an infinite number of cosmological systems that can be found to explain rather well certain observable features of the physical universe including space-time and quantum cosmology without attaining an absolute or final truth to exhaust the potential field of knowledge. The philosopher C.S. Pierce, inventor of the philosophy of pragmatism, felt that the utility or value-truth of a science is in it validity in application, and that is hat we tend to regard as best about science; its value in making practical, valuable explanatory hypothesis about the universe or nature that serve to advance human understanding of it. String theory, quantum gravity, modified gravity, modified Newtonian dynamics and other theories may or may not provide better functioning explanations of how the universe is mechanically put together. Science is intended to find knowledge that can be tested for truth or falsehood, to find knowledge that is connected to the real world or real universe rather than just a hypothetical one that exists in the sense that math geometries exist without necessary existence in the real world.
Scientific theories at any given time may be powerful, have legions of devoted followers of a religious nature, and replete with high priests of prestigious mystery. Those Christians with cosmological and philosophical interests should be somewhat reserved in following the existential flock to this or that side of the ship of the best present theory when the leader speaks new ideas, for the words of God are absolute, while these secular words are simply the best pragmatic tries to learn more about the phenomenal universe, and such efforts shall always be contingent.
There are an infinity of ways of theoretically forming or representing formed existential structures—and more if one adds in time as a change element for recombinations. Many of these configurations become the most popular new theory of the hour for how the Universe is really structured. Some of these theories have a starting point in time, some don’t. Strings as simple segments or dots may increase and join up to make more complex structures such as protons or entire atoms. Segments may form branes (membrane) like 2 dimension al soap bubbles able to hold galaxies and tie up to extra dimensions or extra branes floating around in a vacuum. Some of these branes crash parties and drift on like pillaging hordes of Huns looting the victim galaxies or universes taking the loot back over the border.
It is possibility for Christian philosophers to consider all of these trillion to the trillionth power number of cosmological theories in the abstract and incompletely, and also to ponder Sartre’s existentialism and W.V.O. Quine’s ontological relativity criterion not only of knowledge, but of epistemology and sort things out to the appropriate temporal value bin in accordance with our own prioritization. Scientists must pursue each theory to its logical end, yet we Christians may leave those so burdened for our own concerns of right thinking, right speech (so far as is possible nowadays) and right actions to serve the will of God as a priesthood of Christian believers challenged by that lack of an ecologically renewable economic foundation for this nation, and a nation slipping its grip on moral rectitude. The beauty of God’s universe, and the intricate and imaginative methods by which it is sustained, increases for our awareness as human efforts to comprehend its deeper nature continue. We did not expect it to be a simple Elmer’s glue paste together.

The 'Hate Speech' Form Letter (that could have been a working model in a Reno, Holder, Kaggan Legacy)
If former Attorney General Janet Reno left a legacy for A.G. Holder and Supreme Court nominee Kaggan to inherit,it might be the hate crimes legal theory. Here is a a basic example of an archetypal hate speech form letter perhaps not yet available online as a standard legal form, yet such a letter must have been created to form a template b y which the corporate world can know with sound legal reasoning what example should be censored as 'hate speech'. In another form letter not presented here, a standardized approach to censoring any historical references with violence, lack of respect for fellow human democrats and other people is provided.

Congress & SecDef Gates Make It Tougher for Openly Heterosexual American Military
In a move toward a more Pelosi-friendly, San Francisco-Boston axis of Sodom and Gomorrah military environment, the U.S. Congress passed legislation enabling a hostile service environment for heterosexuals with repeal of the neutral ‘don’t ask, don’t tell policy’. This policy followed nearly two months of high level administration and congressional Democratic worrying about North Korea sinking a South Korean naval vessel with a torpedo and the possibility of more conflict.
Openly heterosexual service members will find challenges from homos in the barracks following the media-government disinformation war effort for empowerment of public homosexual sin with the U.S. military as an agent of socialization. Equal rights for homosexuals means to Speaker Pelosi perhaps, that if women wear lipstick and nice dresses so should male service members. New designer uniforms may be anticipated as Secretary Gates develops ‘the queer eye for the straight guy’ principle.
Secretary of Defense Gates—something of an abomination with support for a Sodom and Gomorrah trend in the U.S. Government, has asked for comments from the military over the Memorial Day weekend and for a while longer so service members can consider If they would be happy with thousands of homosexuals joining to wear their freak flags in military units.
Secretary Gates should be fired as a leftover protégé of former President G.H.W. Bush. He is offering the opportunity for service members to seem to have a meaningful input on the impending policy change, unlike the citizens of the United States who were only told Tues of this week that a vote to go ahead with broad support for sin would be brought on Thursday and Friday in two votes required for passage of the Democrat’s preference for public perversity in the military policy. The bill was opposed Thursday by nearly all Republicans and thirty-four democrats. Alaska Senator Begich—a democrat, sided with the Sodomites. Senator Begich also supports offshore oil drilling in Alaska.
The basic remedy to correct the corruption now is to elect a republican majority in both houses of congress in the November election, and a Republican President in 2012 to sign legislation to roll back the homosexual hegemony legislation the Congress has forced through.
Congress, having lied about the time period that was to be given to consider the measure before bringing the corruption to a vote, has given Secretary of Defense Gates and Chairman of the Joint Chief of Staff Mullins instructions to consider the measure for six months before implementation. Sect. Gates—an outspoken advocate of an openly gay friendly military has generously said that he wants to hear from service members of support or opposition to the planned change. Like Stalin and Berea and before him, he has planned to learn who opponents to the policy are before sending them to the Eastern front.
