Is The DOW Jones Industrial Average Inefficient?

Many Americans are not investors in Wall Street stocks, yet news agencies report the daily numbers of the DOW as if it represented the health of the U.S. economy and of course it no longer does.

Stocks, may be inflated as over-valued bubbles, many of the corporations may do business in China, India, Nigeria or Brazil and the value of a corporate stock may be driven higher with news that it may be bought by another corporation; stock values may also be driven higher as corporate productivity increases by firing workers, outsourcing production and focusing on short term shareholder dividend profit and CEO bonuses instead-all actions such as cutting employee health and retirement packages that can lead to degradation of workers and worker standard of living.

News agencies should refine the Corporate reports with a new financial and insurance sector stock price report so the public can know daily of how the rest of the economy is being trimmed. The actual industrial corporations could be listed in foreign and domestic production facilities to better tie in their management profits and stock values to some relation to the U.S. economy.

Another Unscientific View of Quantum Entanglement & Speed of Light Limit

One might wonder if Einstein developed the speed of light as the maximum possible velocity because a photon is a basic massless particle in the field of the Universe. For anything with mass to travel through space-time it would pass through gravitational fields and others equivalent to riding a bicycle into the wind and receiving increasing resistance with increased speed. Mass effectively increases to infinity as it is accelerated to the speed of light, more energy is needed to move it through resisting quanta of space, or maybe inertia lets it travel through the one atom per cubic meter void of space at light speed as a black hole. Maybe the missing mass of the universe are several separate particles of mass accelerated to light speed with the accompanying apparent infinite mass weight gain as black holes that embed themselves in normal space-time.

Einstein won the Nobel for his work reconstituting light as a particle rather than just a wave.

Some of us non-physicists have a grasp of some of the facts about relativity and light as the maximum possible speed. Anything accelerating near light speed experiences an increase of the value of its mass right up to infinity at the high end. For some reason the things that make us matter when accelerated pass through space and acquire excess gravity and or their energy converts into mass.

Well, enough of that non-sense. The Delta V values of getting several thousand pounds of mass to move at light speed would evidently cost about as much as the federal debt to a higher power.

Things travelling in the Universe as mass may not be able to go faster than light, yet quantum particles seem to exchange information faster than light when entangled and so the non-physicist wonders why?

One obvious answer is that the waveform of any particle when observed collapses into a special spatial location from all possible spatial locations making a reduction ad absurdum occur exchanging information to the bound particles.

Because quantum particles are a little different than photons-a different class of particles, they may be able to travel through space-time without being subject to the sort of effects that add weight to mass accelerating near the speed of light. Maybe quantum waves are too small to be influenced by gravity. If so one wonders if gravity might not be redistributed by design if information can be exchanged to entangled particles in a one way fashion. Yet that raises the question of can information have weight, add mass to anything or drop into a gravitational field.

The nature of quantum particles as waves that become located particles only when observed-something perhaps like the contact of an infinite line with a sphere at some point along it raises other questions.

What boundaries would exist if any for quantum waves…do they go off into infinity spatially beyond even the mass-energy extent of the observable universe? What force would contain such infinite waves?

Would quantum waves be infinite in all directions or just a few?

The prospects for travelling faster than light have been said to be improbable given the difficulties in reducing a human being to quantum information and reassembling through entanglement somewhere else.

I believe those working on such issues theoretically require that some sort of conventional communication line exist to the entangled location as well as the quantum channel.

One might regard the quantum phenomenon in other, more theoretical parameters than those at present known to us non-physicists. It might be possible to contain quantum information in the quantum realm for itself-perhaps as an echo relocated to another universal location without entangling anything besides information.

The possibilities of interacting with a quantum realm of waveforms of infinite length and uncertain nature from this steady-state realm of larger aggregations of energy waves as mass/matter may be greater than that ordinarily regarded as likely in the realm of popular theoretical physics for non-physicists.

Waveforms of quantum should be thought of as very small-something like beyond the ultraviolet, yet even those would be very much too large for quantum signaling with entanglement. One might wonder if the speed is instantaneous in the quantum realm over any material universal scale because of the difference between the two fields.

Extra, smaller dimensions providing shortcuts through the larger, bulkier dimensions of this Universe (the 3d Universe) are an obvious hypothetical context solution; however that would leave unanswered the speed of light paradox incompletely accounted for.

If a photons is a basic fundamental particle that travels through an electro-magnetic field at a maximum, constant velocity then a basic particle or string travelling through extra-dimensions as an entangled analogue of real-world entangled quanta should be simply occupying a higher, smaller dimensional position from which it descends with observation by scientists into the correct or preferred state of spin. From the smaller, higher dimensions the distance to any location in this Universe of 3D may be trivial. That is basic particles may not travel faster through smaller dimensions; they may travel a much shorter distance.

At least that’s one way of considering the paradox of how quanta may be entangled an exchange information through an unobserved quantum state of uncertainty and be bound together at a distance precluding information exchange at subluminal velocity.

If waveforms of quanta actual exist in smaller dimensions then measuring them from larger dimensions may be challenging and appear to provide slower answers.

One may wonder if ordinary, unobserved quantum waves are finite such as a segment of a line, or if they are of infinite length? Even if there are not extra dimensions an explanations for quantum wave packet signaling faster than light, as well as of the entanglement of quanta remains to be explained.

Immigration's Devastation of American Biodiversity

Before the arrival of human beings to the Americas the land and sea was a rich, living, healthy biosphere. More than 100 different kinds of mammals weighing more than a hundred pounds existed here-now there are just 14. Pin-headed politicians offer drill leases on a million more acres of land and Arctic Ocean sea floor to help kill the health of the land and sea. World population approaches 7 billion and the U.S. Government encourages illegal immigration to the nation in order to enrich the odd billionaire mayor skimming the world’s remaining resources to afford tax cuts for rich lobbyists agitating for tax cuts for the rich on Wall Street.

If human beings had developed a rational ecospheric political policy against immigration to America 25,000 years ago the Americas could have remained a healthy park of the earth forever as mankind developed from its happy African and Eurasian homelands a sustainable biologically and ecologically rational economic policy within a caring, nurturing, reverent, inventive and bold utopian civilization. The ancient world needed its Einstinean Teddy Roosevelt-Ghandi politicians for sustainable local ecological economics- instead hunters safari’d to the Americas and a sportsman’s paradise and wiped out the Saber tooth tiger, Wooly Mammoth elephant, the American lion and numerous others. That was libertarianism at its worst devastating without regulation all available natural resources. The American possum is about the only native creature expanding its range because of a convenient interstate highway shoulder system, and it is a marsupial, I believe.

Plainly the political environment of Eurasia 30,000 years ago was against Environmental Protection. Noah was an environmentalist voice in the wilderness mankind choose to ignore as they pursued bad environmental policy right up to the day global warming sent a flood to destroy human life in some lost world; typical callous disregard for the ecosphere by the politically primitive.

Let us then appropriately deplore immigration to the U.S.A. and work for a sustainable and recovering American biosphere with the people we have in the U.S.A. - now more than 300 million of them. The Creator of the Universe knows how many billions are in the Americas altogether consuming the ecosphere like colonies of leaf cutter ants. At least the Vikings in reaching New Foundland Canada about 900 C.E. were responsibility to take an ecological survey and then return to Iceland leaving North America undisturbed and in pristine condition with sustainable respect for the ecosphere. It is no coincidence that descendents of those ancient ecospherists comprise the Nobel Prize Committee for ecological sustainability and biodiversity.

It would be pointless to suggest that the Indians move back to Asia, the Negroes to Africa, and the Europeans to Ireland and Australians to Tasmania. All these people devastating American ecology have relatives devastating the remainder of the world. There is no healthy place left without human ecospheric devastation. Early American immigrants running in relays could run down even the American cheetah and cruelly spear it for sport. The formidable American Bear Giganticus weighing two thousand pounds and running as fast as a racehorse was no match for the cunning killing skills of immigrants adapting to the American hunting preserve. We know how much people like the sport of killing wildlife. Even Queen Elizabeth frequently attended dog vs. bear to the death matches in ye merry old England.

Places without living things like the moon, the leaf cutter sort of human beings conveniently ignore. Like some kind of pre-human ancestor that died out modern humans have revulsion to creating life and healthy ecospheres on lifeless planets and moons. Like Adolph Hitler from his Austrian Alps afraid to travel over water or even invade England modern mankind seems afraid to green up Mars and the moon though a variety of affordable technologies exist for intelligent human beings to do so with intelligent political support. The minds of leaf cutter politicians run through iterations of collateralized debt obligations derivatives and hostile takeovers of banks, tax cuts and more tax cuts instead of cheap, efficient ways to start a sustainable ongoing moon base one piece at a time.

Modern mankind has too much of the Hitlerian nature in it seeking to makeover its global demographics into a politically conformable composition instead of taking the leap of faith to ecospherically green up the solar system and take the Earth’s ecosphere to a recovery condition from the millennia of human ecospheric abusers. While it may not yet be too late to stop immigration to the U.S.A. and create a sustainable environment and economy, and while the same could be said for Mexico, the riotous ecological drunkenness of Wall Street and the Mayor of Greed may continue to be the unsustainable economic mode of the day.

Possible Pragmatic Political Economy in the 3rd Millennium

As wealth concentrates and the gap between America’s rich and middle class/poor continues to increase developing nations may associate that process with democracy and choose better functioning, more egalitarian nations to emulate. Nations like China and Saudi Arabia without democracy seem to be efficient economically and on the rise.

Popular economic pragmatism in the years ahead may devalue political theory for economic structures and choose to regulate economies through pragmatic intervention that would keep the margin between the richest and the poor within an acceptable range of perhaps two orders of magnitude. Free enterprise rather than state socialism or corporatism would be encouraged. Taxation would be on an as needed basis to keep the government solvent and the financial spatial separation from rich and poor from increasing to unacceptable distances creating oppressive and politically corrupting anisotropy.

The new era of pragmatic political economy would be simultaneously populous and efficient in defending individual liberty, political egalitarianism, ecospheric conservation and recovery and a way of life lifting all the vessels in the harbor when the tide comes in. Some may believe that a society without government is an oxymoron, or a crime in progress cluster, that human beings can have a tax free and ungoverned society only if they are few in number and God's natural larder seemingly boundless proving natural resources.

The new economic pragmatism will experience numerous ideological political challenges in the world ahead if it develops that way as I would guess it will. Individuals require sufficient liberty to invent new productive potential, and society requires enough regulation to prevent political oppression, ecospheric decay and economic regions of dysfunction.

Objective economic analysis is better suited for quantification than political-economic. Like pro sports teams a quarterback or center no matter how good cannot play the game and win alone or while his teammates are wearing rags, starving or benched and observing from the sidelines. The good economic team may pay some of its star players better yet all the team must have pay of a reasonable and dignified scale without degradation compelling them to boo their own teammates with the golden compensation.

A Comment on 'Whose Bible Is It?'

Jaroslav Pelikan published this work of Bible scholarship in 2005. It is an erudite examination of a sublime theme one may discover from time to time returning to the perennially thoughtful intellectual scholarship a soul may view The Book and history with.

We encounter well researched treatments of the three sections of the Tanakh-the Jewish Bible; the Torah/Pentateuch, the Nevi’im/ Prophets and the Kethuvim. The origin of the little books (Greek Biblia) that became called in time the singular Bible is examined through its social history.

The journey of the Bible through nations and translations is charted with informative examinations of points of interest, meaningful changes and simultaneous continuity along the way from the letters that Paul wrote to Timothy in Greek because Timothy probably could not read Hebrew to Karl Barth’s 1918 ‘Epistle to the Romans’ commentary. The reader discovers through the 251 pages of this worthwhile read answers to the question; ‘Whose Bible Is It?’

Jaroslav Pelikan has several honorary PhDs in addition to the usual academic honors and they seem well deserved.

In the Dodecahedron Office (a fiction story by Gary C. Gibson)

President Boppo was worried. In the Dodecahedron Office he watched 4D news coverage replay the loop of the assassination of the Mayor of News City again and again thinking he should do something for the citizens himself-perhaps walk out to the fence across the yard and throw some candy to the mobs of citizens.

The N.C.P.D. pieced the together the tragic event worldline and an actor re-enacted the drop from a small plane onto a roof near the Mayor’s office building. Working quickly the stealth enshrouded assassin repelled down to the level of the Mayor’s office and its bullet proof office window glass on a buillding across the street.

The cipher of a Syrian sent by the Corporation deftly took an explosive bolt and fit it into a compound cross bow. Cutting loose the first of four shots across the street to detonate the office windows before the last bolt reached its target deep within the Mayor’s insider securities center the synthetic sectarian assassin from The Old World began his resubmergence into the infinite shadows of the past.

The President realized that a cloud of fiction cyber leads through electronic digital security trails provided synthetic alternative reality matrixes gave him the freedom to choose resolutions from providing unique answers as to what really happened to the assassin of the complex artificial intelligence trading computer in the Mayor’s office.

All the records the Mayor had of insider trading on The Street were destroyed-the real target as the Mayor became a collateralized debt obligation cancelled.

The Syrian cut loose from the rappel line and free falled a refreshing two-hundred feet before opening a parachute that let him sail gracefully to a landing atop a short building.

The Syrian disappeared down inside a door taking off his first mask, stuffing it in his belly bag and soon lost himself in the crowds below. His co-conspirators had made a false trail of rft transactions around the city for ubiquitous monitors to follow. He spliced himself in to the trail and returned to an office near the U.M.

The President’s SecDef Poinsettia arrived to receive a medal of tax freedom in advance for the work he would do in the sinecure ahead redistributing contracts to enrich the wealthy. He would need to learn to trust radical gays working like Hitler’s S.A. to makeover the nation’s political elite into a malleable tool workable for The Plan. These days The Plan dominated the President’s thoughts.

“Thanks for the medal Mr. President, I deserve it. Here is my first piece of expert advice; open a war on three fronts and become a strict vegetarian and gun control advocate; show the people your sensitive, nurturing caring side-it worked for Adolph Hitler.”

“Thanks Poiny, a serialized, globalist soap oprah narrative needs good plotting actualization to keep rating up. We earn our beans and bacon with good, five star ratings. There is an election next year you now and its unlikely a new President would keep you in your post for all those post-o pay and perks like I did the guy you’re replacing.”

In a snug walled concrete compound resembling a miniature fortress on Remasembler Street the Syrian felt something like a goat sitting watching old DVDs of himself and wives in a former acting life. Suddenly the quiet of his home company of wives splattered when hell arrived. He knocked over his bowl of toasties and milk, stood up spilling a love mug of thick, sweet coffee and was shot through the heart for the trouble. A few seconds later laying sprawled arms akimbo another bullet thumped his head, yet he didn’t feel a thing.

SecDef Poinsettia’s aide extracted the launching codes of the day from the President’s football with a hacking quantum beam impression cube adding it to the medal of tax freedom. The interview was over.

President Boppo yelled out “Maybelline! Where is that bag of last year’s Tootsie treats at?” in frustration slamming shut another desk drawer.

Quantum Infinite Circles

Infinity was the topic of a book by John D. Barrow published in 2005. He wrote of the theologian Nicholas of Cusa’s work on the infinite circle (in radius) amongst other topics and the way Nicholas described any given section of a circle infinite in radius as being indistinguishable from an infinite line segment (straight).

As the infinite circle expands to infinity in size (such an infinite circle ought to be incapable of comparison to other infinite shaped objects (like Euclidean solids) theoretically, for it would then need to be of a given finite size) any local area seems nearly without curvature.

I wanted to remark about a more simple and evident aspect of the infinite circle. Earlier Barrow pointed out Aristotle’s work on potential and actual infinities-especially in mathematical series of numbers. The difference between a potential and an actual infinite circle is more of a paradox than the largest number known to which one may add one more forever (N+1).

A circle of any size must be complete in order to exist. I believe I must be referring to a 2 dimensional circle for perhaps no other may exist (The circular characteristic of a hula hoop is meaningful in just two dimensions of a three dimensional object).

At any rate the infinite circle to actually exist would then no longer be infinite in size, but finite. An infinite circle could exist only in potential, yet a potential circle cannot exist, or does not exist except perhaps as a continually increasing circle expanding like an infinite universe regarded as a spherical construction of an infinite number of simultaneously expanding, contiguous circles. A hyper-inflating universe expanding with space-time might be exemplary.

An infinite circle could never exist as a finite actual circle or even as an increasing in size circle expanding forever from a singularity of infinitely small size without being compared with co-existent additional infinite circles of a larger temporal size making the primary infinite expanding circle a smaller infinity at any given point in the process. Comparison of infinities seems bound to happen if they are actualized within a temporal progression. A forever-increasing-in-size infinite circle would be finite at any given point in time.

Perhaps Bertrand Russell would have regarded the infinite circle as a categorical problem. It is an abstract thought and perhaps without meaning akin to a square circle.

The transition from thought constructions to real world possibilities for existence would seem to require consideration of how an infinite circle might be constructed given the quantum packets or material available in the Universe. It seems unlikely that an infinite circle could ever be made to exist, yet string theorists conjecture that universe sized strings left over from the start of the Universe might exist and be observed one day (I don’t know much about that topic). Perhaps they inflated unbroken expanding with space-time from less than a Planck length in size to the size of the Universe today.

The nature of infinity philosophically considered does appear to support conjecture about the Universe even in light of contemporary cosmology and concepts of God. One may get the notion that God would need to surpass Gödel’s incompleteness theorem criterion. That is God would need to contain all infinities as part of His nature. Containing temporality is a similarly challenging problem; how can an infinite temporality be contained and foreknown by a greater than temporality God? Barrow quotes Augustine on the matter of infinities.

These classic theological and philosophical issues re-examined with the tools of a mathematical astrophysicist are interesting reading.

Some Troubles of Highly Skilled Job Training

Anthropologists regard mankind’s success at over populating the world and destroying its ecosphere as a consequence of the human capacity for generalized, unspecialized, adaptive and creative behavior. Darwin’s ancestors could leap from the trees, peak trough the bushes, scavenge from the lion pride’s kill and innovate adaptive knife claws and fangs. God may have placed the evolutionary multipliers needed for life in six days, yet mankind had to forever generalize skills to overcome challenges that might have rendered specialized species extinct.

The French philosopher Jean Paul Sartre wrote about the role of skilled workers in a factory workforce in his tome ‘The Critique of Dialectical Reason’. We are aware that the skilled worker is set in opposition to the semi-skilled and unskilled workers and are pets of management financially speaking-the best in show.

Skilled workers-or highly skilled workers as the President says are also the most vulnerable workers to obsolescence and transition to the newly unskilled when the factory relocates after leveraged buyout or hostile takeover to China to cut production costs. Maybe the administration could regard bachelor’s degree training as highly skilled and reduce employee costs further by regarding it necessary to degrade non-financial management work as charity.

Comparing on-time product components assembly made for management efficiency, highly skilled workers are at the far, extreme end of inefficiency. The future highly skilled worker must sacrifice years off from mediocre yet real unskilled employment to attend a school to learn skills that might exist in the future for an uncertain period of time before the skill is obsolete or job relocated to China.

The prospective highly skilled worker is buying something like a commodities future block of intellectual capital-maybe like a hedge fund actually, in which his or her skill will be more in demand and pay better as there are fewer workers should a new industry arise to demand his or her high skill.

Medium sized corporations that go public in the United States face a good prospect for being bought through hostile takeover. There was a time when in America when that wasn’t done. Since the 1960’s though any business that goes public can realistically be purchased by a larger or sometimes a smaller business (the smaller business can use the under priced value of the medium business’ stock for leverage to get lenders support in buying enough stock for acquisition followed by a downsizing of personnel and selling off of undervalued assets). Workers that spend a lot of time on education may find that skill value without a place for application. In former eras apprentices were paid learning skills on the job. They were not expected to gamble on the existence of jobs in the future in some industry that might be obsolete, relocated or not yet exist.

I wisely prepared for the getting of a rare skill through reading western philosophy and history much of the past 40 years. When that industry arises that needs highly skilled readers of philosophy to augment philosophers in management with college degrees to work on the shop floor turning out philosophical product, I will be available for higher.

One day the tide may return and philosophical ships of high skills venture out upon the capital sea with a crew of highly skilled philosophical sailors moving beyond the shoals of moribund coastal economies beset with low wages. Well, I am not sure what sort of business philosophers might turn out that would pay really good. In case such an industry does develop I will be ready however.

The President’s ideas about high skills seem a product of his cloistered legal skill set that hasn’t become obsolete the last century. Being a lawyer is something like being a cook-it is still a relevant, ubiquitous skill. I believe there is probably one lawyer per 2000 Americans. If illegal aliens could readily become lawyers or if legal work could be outsourced through free legal trade agreements the President might be more sympathetic to increasing taxes on corporations and the wealthy.

More teaching jobs exist per capita than for lawyers, and teaching is a better highly trained job skill until market forces and on-demand instant rare skill set training for the possible Tachyon Transducer Dimension Shifter industry arises. I might bet that the new industry can only work in the mid-west.

Lack of Financial Regulation Requires Corporate Tax Increase Substitute for Regulation

Financial deregulation that allowed Fastows, Skillings, Mozillos, Milkens, and so many others to trade or conceal bad assets for profit were the tip of an iceberg of a too big to fail failure of Federal oversight of Wall Street financial practices. It may be too late to restore regulation Q and Glass-Steagle, yet the Congress can increase taxes on corporate profits and apply the I.R.S. with an enhanced investigation and enforcement division to monitor volatile derivatives transactions and unravel ongoing deceptive practices and failures of banks to be servants of public interest.

Corporate investment banking and trading synthesis has had inadequate oversight for requirements that they keep adequate reserves for lending and stock acquisition. Instead, investment risk is passed on to the uninformed. Adequate transparency and taxation of corporate trading and investment profit taking with monitoring Cray Research super-trading
I.R.S. Hawk computers might be able to confirm real asset values as they present as representative value object unit items and evaluate simultaneously the rational concatenated values of asset levels to determine how they affect national economic security.

The Federal lack of regulation has let investment firms make vast loans without keeping reserves adequate to keep them afloat should a downturn in the market occur-then taxpayers are dumped responsibility for the debt because of the need to avoid a pervasive financial collapse through the leveraging infrastructure of a predatory corporatist financial environment.

From Goldman Sachs Henry Paulson became the lender of the TARP plan funds to Wall Street. The Chicago School of Economics has had too many theorists regarding financial deregulation of finance as a Utopia through which social security and minimum wage might be eliminated while all manufacturing businesses become prey for insider finance.
While the normally questionable live business trades are going on the I.R.S. should be monitoring transactions of packaged tranches to make certain that taxes are paid on profitable transactions without which little sense of reality is compelled to be noticed or experienced by traders.

If No-one Was in the Universe Would the Universe Still Exist?

Reading a book on the subject of infinity is a good way to regard quantum units I would guess. Quantum units as points of a given qualitative size or as segments sampled of infinite waves seem to be what much of quantum mechanics is about. It is considered that such smaller objects comprise the universe.

So the idea that strings arise as theoretically simpler ways of arresting the infinite reductionism of particles has arisen. If one has a loop or quantum string it is circle and thus infinite in one dimension at least, whereas a point particle has no comparable limit of reduction of its smallest interior size.

I think the quantum string or loop concept is admirable. One may have quantum spin vectors of infinite positions in infinite dimensions and yet contain it within a given area that is the quantum string.
Still, I think the quantum strings would be like cut out silk screening prints abstracted from a monistic continuum of some kind rather than as pluralistic quantum quite independent yet forced together by some greater force such as gravity. Quantum string behavior in the space-time and dimensions of the observable universe of experience may be a nominal appearance for others given unto humanity by God.

And so I also wonder about pluralism in economics and of capitalism. Values and value theories about worth and the best social methods of attaining those objects or circumstances of worth have evolved long after the passing of Adam Smith into a kind of discrete yet macro-socially concatenated pursuit of pluralistic units instead of a continuum or continua of value. Maybe economic analysis is simpler when assigning worth to discrete quantities or packets of quantities, yet I think the good continuum is inherently of more value and the likely true object or goal that Adam Smith worked to produce as a social good for the English people of his day.

Contemporary economics seems to have less ability to contemplate economic value continua than it does process the trade of individual and concatenated quantities of pluralist product constructions. Continua could include the ecosphere or continent traversing free 1000m.p.h low entropy mass transit systems, or even clear running streams running through major cities. Continua contain entire quality of life space-time worldliness and spiritual values while pluralist quanta have implicitly variegated and disconforming space-time values and qualities. Sometimes it is requisite that material quantum production units have course flow modifications to integrate with existing continua of high value. I am sure that Adam Smith believed that economic quanta were for the purpose of serving the direct good and advancement of socio-economic continua rather than displacing it.
So one may also believe that intuition leads to an assumption that discrete quantum unit hypotheses might be efforts to describe emergent phenomena of a deeper and holistic continuum with or without an arrow of space-time.

The spoken Word of God that conformed emergent existence to an intentional ordinality was already in existence before the local start of universe with time and the change of entropy. What the nature of God is for-himself probably cannot be inferred from the contingent characteristics of the Universe inclusive of the reasoning of the human mind-perhaps the most complex structure in the Universe. Like the monads of conjecture described by Gottfried Leibnitz, the irreducible quantum loops or spheres of however many dimensions are set within a continuum contingent upon the eternal will of God. Descriptions of the structure of the Universe bring us more data to regard in our experience of God and His placement of nature.

Capitalism is More Natural Than Socialism

 Capitalism is probably more natural than socialism although economically challenged people are probably happy enough if either works reason...
