Envia Produced Highest-Density Electric Car Battery Yet

A high-density battery that might move an electric car 300 miles for $10 without needing to stop for recharging may be on the way. Envia of California has produced the car battery with the highest energy density so far.

http://www.hybridcars.com/news/envia-li-ion-battery-yields-world-record-energy-density-41768.html

The battery may produce electricity at $125 Kwh compared with $300 to $500 in Leafs and Volts. The price may drop farther as competition drives subsequent inventions. The ideal I guess would be to make 2nd world electric cars for fewer than $10,000 possible.

The company used a 4 million dollar federal grant and built on federal research to turn out a good product. There may be a variety of versions of synthetic batteries to jolt the electric car movement ahead while the conservative Tar Sands Co2 power school of economics looms like a global warming doom out there as a distant smoke on the horizon of space-time.

United Technologies once had a promising solar panel before a patent infringement suit from ARCO brought it down. Fossil fuel corporations have deep pockets to inhibit electric car progress.

Hogan's Fermilab Experiment for Digital Space-Time

An article on the physicist's experiment to determine if space has 'quantum jitters' as a basic characteristic is the lead in the February Scientific American. It’s a good low-cost experiment using lasers and interferometers finely tuned that might find it space-time itself is more holographic and uncertain itself.

The idea that mass confined to within a Plank length must be single applies evidently to black holes. All that mass within a logical destination in the form of a particular wave function seems improbable enough, yet with a non-deterministic brane containing the mass, who would ever observe it anyway to determine location or speed?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interferometry

The article written by Michael Moyer describes the holographic principle and explains something of the concept of the Universe as a two-dimensional sheet with information on it providing the 3-dimensional appearance. Evidently the way information is conserved going in to black holes is important (Stephen Hawking worked on it). One would think that there is some kind of theoretical limit upon how much information (mass) can go into a black hole and how small it might be.

Some of those problems might be obviated by the faster than light instantaneous all possible places (worldlines) of the quantum world. Perhaps information at black holes if condensed to a Planck scale (the smallest size imaginable quantitatively) becomes potential information redistributed to the quantum field outside solid-state space after warping space-time locally to the maximum degree. Does some of that information leak out anywhere as virtual particles or space-time expansion?

http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=is-space-digital

Hogan's experiment to see if space is digital with quantum foamy jitters (what field would connect the discrete bits of space-time) is a practical way to look into small scale physics that would require a vastly larger particle smasher than is likely to be built this millennium (although one never knows for sure what might be constructed in the future).

One might enjoy an annual box score of the year's good physics experiments for the benefit of the reading public interested in those event-processes and the results.

Romney vs. Santorum for Poll Position

Mitt Romney has shown excellent character during his protracted campaign sojourn through the slings and arrows of media and pundit pummeling. It is ironic that he is something like RG3 in economic competence and that scoring high is used as a disqualifier by his opponents. Well, F.D.R. was from a good family and did a pretty good job as President too. One can't always prejudge the rich and assume that they will work against the general national economic interest.

Rick Santorum only earns 3/4s of a million or so a year so he is regarded as a regular guy. I am not certain what he is conservative about in economics though-maybe he wants to revolt against the British and send the 7th fleet to take back the footsie from the Queen and BP from alien control. Possibly tar sands in Alberta heated up would add enough Co2 to the atmosphere to be considered 'conservative'.

Either Santorum or Romney would be a good President.

False gods, Burning Korans And the Administration's Abominable Policies

On false gods and God's willingness to destroy those societies that pursue them, it seems to be historically factual. Well, if you accept that the Old testament of the Bible is basically a Jewish history book it is well known that God not only destroyed pagan enemies of Israel but also sent Israel into captivity for worshiping false Gods and pursuing abominable practices a time or two.

http://www.voanews.com/english/news/Afghanistan-Hunts-for-Suspect-in-Kabul-Killings-Karzai-Calls-for-Calm-140477113.html

Today, with the abominable practices of the Obama administration in gaying up the military and organizing homosexual 'marriage', we see Korans burned in Kabul and American soldiers murdered in the Interior Ministry, riotous protests, injuries and death. One may believe that sort of thing is just coincidence, yet the Afghans probably believe the U.S. military is becoming some sort of atheistic tool for godless perversions that the administration seeks to force upon the world-it is challenging to say that they are wrong.

Why keep more than a hundred thousand soldiers in a nation trying to stamp out Al Qaeda that merely moved to our 'ally' Pakistan for a decade of easy living in a recently razed compound in the bosum of Pakistan's military or intelligence community when the policy is bound to fail to impress the illiterate or semi-literate yet moral as far as the Koran's values go Afghan? The extended deployment gives jobs to military contractors and little else. Not even the unemployed in the U.S.A. necessarily like the U.S. Government or its high-living, anti-god employees incapable of getting full employment and health care for the poor into reality. The government seems like a revolving door for the prosperous, the globalists and the immoral more often than not.

In Afghanistan, like Iraq, administration policy seems just stupid and adrift without purpose besides domestic political posturing.

If the administration has a blind spot to the bad pr its pansification policy of the military has or will have upon perceptions by Moslems of the kind of people and policies the U.S. military pursue in Afghanistan and elsewhere in the Moslem world it should not be ignored by political planners in the next administration. The consequences of a gayed up neo-atheist godless military reinforced ideologically by Harvard atheist elite insiders that regard human life as no more significant than its D.N.A. stream deployed in Moslemnations may be expensive to taxpayers in that they shall lack the moral authority in antipathetic uniformity to traditional ways of the godly.

When administration policy is so consistently godless it is difficult to be a political apologist to Moslems for American good intentions in occupying their nation until some goal of non-violence is achieved. A godless U.S. Government of, by and for atheist, amoral foes of God wearing lab coats is not one that very many unsold in that way of regarding Americans and aliens alike can support.

The United States has probably reached a point to decide more quickly what it is doing in Afghanistan, cut its losses and costs, secure the stability of the Northern Alliance in their own state and leave before the Afghans learn how really repulsive the administration policy and intentions are. Maybe they will want homosexual marriages in Afghanistan before the military leaves.

And stop giving Pakistan 10 cents or more a year!

Lindsey Lawless & Greenpeace Board Alaska-Bound Shell OIl Drill Ship

The actree Lindsey Lawless is up a 174 foot tower on a Shell Ship headed for Alaska to help frill and possibly foul those endangered north waters above Alaska. Wow, she is a regular apprentice hero kind of women!

http://www.adn.com/2012/02/23/2333320/greenpeace-activists-actress-occupy.html

The major oil corporations are a kind of above the law, and oil depletion allowances besides kind of by your average Alaska politician kind of people. I'll bet they give the actress good food on that luxury support vessel though. Its good to be at sea until the life is all dead in it from carbonic acid.

The Possible Errors Found In Faster-Than Light Neutrino Experiment

The possible inaccurate use of g.p.s. signals that gave the arrival time of neutrinos traveling about 450 miles in 60 nanoseconds a faster than light value makes on wonder if it would be even possible to measure faster than light signals in a space-time field theoretically?

http://news.sciencemag.org/scienceinsider/2012/02/breaking-news-error-undoes-faster.html

If matter and energy only appear in light-speed or less contexts, and if anything else that does exist is in some kind of undetermined, non-material state in a quantum realm of non-determination existing prior to the apparent solid state Universe, it may be generically impossible for anything that travels faster than light to appear in the solid state universe.

In quantum entanglement experiments that remind me a little of the CERN-Gran Sasso neutrino experiments information is apparently exchanged between entangled quantum particles at faster than light speed. There may be no theoretical way to measure how much faster the information is exchanged because the speed issue may be irrelevant.

Cynics might suggest that the quantum entanglement experimenters also had 'loose wires' in each and every case of information being exchanged faster than light. Some though are skeptical of global warming.

The non-determined quantum world experienced by wave-particles in all possible theoretical locations when unobserved may not have space-time field characteristics like those of the solid-state universe with its light-speed limit.

Well, it’s an interesting point to think about.

I would guess that quantum entanglement is something of a partial wave function collapse, yet not completely. Some of the superposition of eigenstates of quanta may be reduced or positioned in some way between entangled particles so that one one particle's state is determined through the collapse of the wave function through an observation the entangled particle shares that trait too seemingly instantaneously at-a-distance.

Obviously I have no idea about the mathematics of these physical theories-just an interest in them for philosophical conversational purposes.

Note to Rick Santorum; The Parable of The Ark

The Earth is comparable to Noah’s Ark; it has finite resources that the crew must conserve until able to produce designed mass from zero point energy or discovery of how to travel faster-than light to get more resources in outer space. A good captain or president should not say ‘live it up; eat drink and be merry for God will provide new worlds after we trash this one and demonstrate total incompetence at managing global resources’.

Rick Santorum is correct that good conduct social is important. The crew may not become cannibals or queers because things are crowded. Good social morality must prevail concurrently with conservation and sober creativity. God instructed mankind to master the Earth. Wasting its resource, killing the oceans with carbonic acid and making the atmosphere too hot for human life is not required as a proof of religious faith. Instead it is the greed and indolence of relying upon a fossil fuel infrastruct5ure more than 100 years old. Vested interests hold the world at ransom, and vested interests make the Democratic Party a non-choice of immediate perversion for Christians as it is.

One might ask why the nation is offered Charybdis and Scylla Presidential choices. The answer is difficult to find. Maybe it’s the corruption of billionaires below the surface. Some candidates may want to burn the Ark’s planks to keep the temperature a little warmer trusting that God will reward their profligacy. If the Christian invention and humanitarian government has modern values that could be taught to the masses it should find more intelligent living arrangements not reliant upon crude oil.

Maybe Mitt Romney is the only intelligent candidate of 2012, that’s hard to say. The candidates seem to be such utter idiots these days without a fraction of the character of Bob Dole or thy smarts of Albert Einstein. One must not throw out Rick Santorum’s candidacy just because he doesn’t have all the right answers-evidently no one has this year.

Fox Reports Brawls Over Single Sex Marriage in Some State Legislatures

The 2012 November elections may become an informal referendum on the homosexual corruption of marriage in several states. With the Democrats basically the party forcing the policy along instead of providing full employment and zero federal debt their is no practical alternative for moral voters to voting for Republicans this year.

Plainly the Democratic elites in a few state legislatures have joined their homosexual judge fraternity in skidding through the fiction of single-sex marriages. Without divine insemination women have never born fruit of new human life themselves. Some men dressing up in women's roles complete the farce that shifts the burden of discrimination upon conservative single individuals of impeccable character that live alone pursuing the good for all mankind offering sage political advice.

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/02/18/legislatures-open-same-sex-marriage-brawl-on-multiple-fronts/?test=latestnews

In ancient history the Romans were assaulted by the Cult of Bacchus with its bizarre gong show and strange mysterious sexual practices. Legislators have been subject to extortion, personal attack and various forms of networked arm-twisting by homosexual gangsters in select historical circumstances. One might regard the methods of the ultra-Nazi Ernst Rohm and his Storm Troopers led by a homosexual elite of ruthless political fascists that broke the resistance of more conservative than Nazi's German political opposition. One expects the state legislatures and urban judges to be levered by urban homosexual elites today as personal attacks are their essential reason and political modus operandi.

Global corporations consolidating wealth with a small minority of 43,000 corporations controlling a third of global wealth have seemed to support the homosexual corruption of marriage in the U.S.A. in recent years in order to further degrade the electorate and also because networking homosexual elites probably have gained extra power. The value to zero population growth planners of a corrupted homosexual hostile takeover of the institution of marriage is obvious. A spineless malleable populace will present no meaningful political opposition to the powers concentrating wealth and asserting global control. It was never necessary for homosexuals to destroy marriage to find some equality in society. Like much other recent politics the U.S. Government to is becoming a lie and forcing it's falsehoods and corruption on the people. Very few voters anywhere have taken it upon themselves to transform the U.S.A. into Sodom or Gomorrah-that is entirely the product of spoiled, unimaginative elites with wealth to take political offices or dump their historical and philosophical ignorance into judicial districts.

Era of Submersible Mini-Carriers in the Future to Increase Debt?

When Google got a Nevada license to drive robot cars on the highways it might have been a sign of the times of phasing out erratic human driving of fossil fueled vehicles in the years ahead. The era of large conventional piloted jet fighter aircraft is also being phased out as drones with tighter turns, smaller stealth profile and better prices take to the skies.

Will that mean that aircraft carriers will be reduced in size to support hordes of drone fighter jets? Submersible carriers with disposable kamikaze drone stealth bombers might be a wave of the future too. If human beings were nearly as clever at developing space ships for plain space travel without returning to the Earth's surface through atmospheric friction and deep gravity the economy might fare better.

All of that robot car and warfare junk means that a single evil programmer might rule the world one day. With regular human armies the soldiers have the option of non-conforming to evil and corrupt orders from evil and corrupt rulers. On the other mechanical mandible the robots, unless they think for themselves and learn to hate biologicals, always obey orders of radical leftists and ultra-conservatives seeking to increase U.S. public debt, U-6 and low wages.

Six Trillion Dollars Worth of Fake U.S. Bonds Seized in Italy/Libertarianism and Networks of Power

Italian police working with U.S. agents arrested mafia with 6 trillion dollars of fake U.S. bonds payable from the Chicago Federal Reserve Bank. Authorities say the gang intended to exploit the worthless paper as collateral to attain loans. The audacity of the scheme is greater than the Wall Street techniques of the 2000s were-in some trading houses leveraged 5 billion in assets to buy 100 billion dollars of paper, CDOs and whatever looked good.

http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/02/17/us-usa-bonds-forgery-idUSTRE81G11620120217?feedType=RSS&feedName=topNews&utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+reuters%2FtopNews+%28News+%2F+US+%2F+Top+News%29&utm_content=Google+Feedfetcher

Networks of power tend to eclipse theoretical democracy and individual liberty and displace with socially and empirically totalizing economic and social structures the hypothetical freedom and free enterprise facts of life that existed phenomenally in earlier historical times.

It may be argued reasonably that in the first 150 years of U.S. history the nation was a greedy man's dream world with plenty of land and opportunities to support a prevalently libertarian economy even as capital compiled radically after the industrial revolution. The founder's ideals functioned well when the citizens were not really challenged to construct a democracy with egalitarianism in a challenging and populous social environment as in the third millennium.

Some Americans believe in error that returning to the political philosophy of the founders suitable for the first 100 years in a Libertarian context without the abundant land and natural resource proportionally available to citizens in return the 18th century would return America to prosperity without debt. Actually a reform of capitalism capping citizen concentration of wealth would be the basic social adjustment needed to bring citizen and moderate size business free enterprise to a prominence that it had in the founder's day.

In the absence of reform concentrations of wealth and power enabled with instant global concentration establish hegemony over political, social and economic structures with a one-way advantage. The economy is simultaneously globalized and the national interests decline as the political philosophy of the founders is farther eclipsed and transformed into an excuse to serve the global concentrations of wealth and power, and networks of power.

A scientific study found that of 43,000 corporations a small core tightly controlled more than a third of the global economy (SN9-24-2011-page13). Networks may be controlled by minority elites and shape the real economic and social development of the time. In these essays perhaps I will capture a sense of the possibilities of the times, though for a philosophical generalist it is a process a little like firing at a moving target in the dark.
