Spinning Bucket Experiment (prose poem)
When I was in blank
space; the primordial darkness of mind that everyone is likely to experience if
they think about it, I could only see Sir Isaac Newton’s spinning bucket experiment
to illustrate gravity and absolute space. Space dwells with meaning and matter
such as teeth arrayed in a circular Stonehenge
in anyone’s mouth.
Until the teeth are lost as when a youth
before adult teeth grow in it is challenging to find ideas unborn in the silent,
still darkness that could last forever yet doesn’t. It is on a hill like an
unmoved mover without time. It rolls downhill faster than light as a metaphor
for a Universe- any Universe. Each first place I see through emergent fog. The
place where sensation is vector topology, math matrices structured like dreams
for-themselves are driftwood.
And that is what I see like a light in the
darkness, or would if anything could have color without illumination, form
without substance, shadow without the sun of mind. The will to be and become
full paragraphs in Hilbert space of four dimensional points in motion
compounding themselves. Only then do the teeth become painful; abscessed with
age.

Can Pres Trump Make US Internet Great Again?
The United States ranks way diown there in 28th place on global Internet speed. Americans just aren't competitive at fast connections, chess playing and trading or bidding on the world stage. President Trump should try to get a border security wall built plainly, yet building good Internet connections for ordinary Americans is necessary for democracy to be in the competition.
https://www.recode.net/2017/6/7/15747486/united-states-developed-world-mobile-internet-speeds-akamai
I tried an Internet speed test from mid-America and found that the Internet speed is fastest via Moscow, then Hong Kong and Amsterdam with Seattle and San Francisco brinbg up the rear. One should not need to rely on Moscow for fat Internet speed.
In the 1980s I sent an email via bitnet to the Ecole Normale or Superior or whatever from Alaska and got a rely in a week or ten days. America used to be up there in global Internet speed, yet it hasn't got that much better. President Trump; make American Internet speed great again, for us all.

Will Arctic Ice Melt Entirely Away this Year?
Arctic sea ice is at a record low for this time of year. Bering Sea ice was mostly gone in April making it reasonable to wonder how far the Arctic ice cap will shrink. Very likely this will be another modern era record setting year. There is also modern carbon dioxide in the atmosphere today than at any time in the past 800,000 years with that greenhouse gas reaching a significant 410 ppm level.

Carla Asks Solomon Eban About the Multiverse (fiction)
©2018
Garrison Clifford Gibson
Carla addressing Eban said; “Then I may avail myself of the opportunity
to learn more of the Multiverse as you know it Solomon.”
“Yes of course Carla, such as I
have any more knowledge than you of it.”
She asked; ”The transcendence
of the physical boundaries of any given Universe seems to be at least
symbolically accomplished with the FTL 5, yet we relinquish our physical bodies
as we enter and are reduced to our very souls. With our souls we may observe
and learn some of the structure. I saw that not all of the Universes were
actualized with a linear history. Some were interrupted with collisions from
other Universes, while others were shaken in repulsion from approaching
Universes because of antipathetic fundamental charges or particle spin. Is it
consistent for an actualized Universe to have structure with imperfectly
fulfilled Universe histories?”
“My guess is yes. The complete
Multiverse has its own consistent, tautologous physical history that
renormalized each locally apparent anisotropic evolution to a logical course in
regard to the greater good as it were.
Consider the eight Universes
that spent their organization and became lowest entropy state membranes. They
were subducted into a black hole and re-emerged as a unified four dimensional
Universe following destabilization, repulsive explosion and faster than light
expansion and a cooling off interval. Four dimensions and four basic forces
followed structuring the Universe history that was the present and future to
the end of normal lines.
From our point of view there
could be an infinite number of proto-Universe dots located along an infinite
line, each of which could be divided from the others as a line with one
concentrated Universe within its boundaries. Some think that virgin birth and
natural perturbation would stimulate expansion of Universe dot-eggs, while
others might believe they were given to expand under the work of design. The
power of Spirit to generate just one infinite super-string made of a
trans-finite set of scalable proto-Universe dot-singularities could be
one-dimensional and two dimensional examples of the extra-Universal medium
wherein the Multiverse is actualized fully complete regarding implicit temporal
axis in four dimensions-even with hidden extra-dimensions. The FTL 5 unit has
led me to infer that the eternal spiritual realm hosting the proto and
actualized Universes thought of as a Multiverse, hasn’t a comparable physical peer
for representation. Consider this.
Long ago the Bible book of the
Revelation described heaven’s city; the New Jerusalem, as existing upon a sea
of glass. So think of us now with extra-Universal space-time travel.
Wheresoever we may be it is possible to encounter illusory glimpses of shadows
of extra dimensions, or glitches- memories carried over into ours of prior
Universes that left information within this Universe, and even signs of a
higher reality that is spiritual. It reminds us of the temporal construction of
every actualized Universe even though it is static and we are the sentient
souls that travel through them interacting as if it was the Universe in motion.
That can give one a sense of insecurity existing within the temporal Universe,
and should bring one to feel, at least if drawn toward God, that the temporal
experience is existence as if standing on thin glass-like ice above an infinite
depth of hell or heaven below with the choices one makes in-the-temporal
determining where one goes in regard to the post-temporal reality. What seems
convenient for temporality morally speaking may be absolutely wrong in regard
to the eternal.
Evil wants to convert all to
become subject as spiritless, malleable mass unto its will of degradation and
destruction. Good seeks creation and the Creator, evil is nihilistic and works
for destruction. Spiritual rebirth with the Lord Jesus Christ lets the soul
exit the maze of temporal Universes. So Carla, I can fairly say of the
Multiverse that all I know is the Lord Jesus Christ and the Lord crucified.”
Free Will, Determinism and Multiverse Theology (science fiction)
©2018
Garrison Clifford Gibson
“I wanted to ask you what you think about the FTL 5
technology John. It’s new to me, and as I understand it, based on the
Multiverse structure.”
“I too have given the FTL technology some thought,
though mine is probably infused with less probity than that of your inquiring
and more experienced mind.”
“You are too modest John. I know you have exceptional
logical reasoning ability and have invested some time in learning of the
scientific history and knowledge of humanity.”
“Well Carla, the structure of the Multiverse would
seem to be a salient, necessary element of whatever model an FTL 5 unit would
reflect.”
“Quite. The theology of a Multiverse and its
deterministic structure also seems to me to be of paramount concern. Consider
the point that if a Universe were to be entirely deterministic a priori, then
everything within it including evil would be pre-determined too.”
“Carla I doubt that the theology of the Multiverse
would be an acceptable subject on many worlds. Human worlds subject to the
Aristarch impact already are under the rule of the Supreme Junta of Justice
that proscribed theology as a topic universally. Fortunately the free worlds
still tolerate, being taller, than enslaved worlds and their evil judicial
decretals; and I have given the theology some thought for-myself that I shall
elaborate with you.”
“Good John, I thought you might.”
“How can God pre-determine and create a Universe and
be consistent with His nature as perfect and without sin hence Multiverse and
if they are pre-determined then God has created sin and wickedness too, no?
“I must stipulate a no John. God cannot sin or create
wickedness.”
“Yet each exists and the Universe must be
predetermined along with the Multiverse if God is to have created it.”
“Hell exists John. And the Lord was crucified. Each
were or are at least nominally wicked from my point of view. I don’t mean that
the plan of God to allow His Son to be crucified as a substitute for the
original sin debt of humanity was wicked; it is just that it was existentially
a wicked experience for the Lord; for any human, to go through.”
“Sure Carla; wickedness exists and the Lord God being
omni-powerful created not only it- he created everything else; and yet free
will exists. For many that is another apparently contradictory point about God.
I believe however that the Multiverse and quantum mechanics may account for
each, as it also may account for quantum gravity and relativity.”
“How so John?”
“Consider Carla, that relativity requires a time
dimension to exist as anything besides a static form of space-time composition.
If the Universe were entirely pre-determined and pre-created in its fullness
from alpha to omega however, comparable to a digital action movie stored on a
microchip, the relativistic effects and changes of space-time would be
contingent and superficial emergent characteristics of the present time line
position of inhabitants of the movie. Even relativity would be an apparent
rather than a real experience.”
“Yes John. I follow that. The characteristic of a
fully created and static Universe that had apparent motion experienced by
people living within it just as minds or thoughts experiencing it as they moved
forward within the Universe’s space-time line might well appear to have the
qualities of real motion, time and general relativity commonly regarded as
actual qualities of space-time.”
“Thus it is that there is a great difference between
apparent and actual material facts regarded by a conscious mind, at least
potentially or theoretically. Plato’s famous Allegory of the Cave recorded that
idea many thousands of years ago in the Earth’s lost past. Still, we have the
problem of evil as it relates to God in addition to the nature of the Multiverse
and FTL 5 units to consider.”
“Of course John, please continue.”
“An infinite Multiverse could be encompassed by God as
an idea pre-determined yet infinitely malleable. For now I will stipulate that
the Multiverse created is static and that minds existing within it experience
it contingently without awareness. That
it is their ideas trave within its spatio-temporal substance rather than
Multiverse or any given Universe itself morphimg.
Every possible Universe in any form is pre-created
within an idea of God that hasn’t spatial-temporal dimension or scale; God is
spirit. The Multiverse is a contingent idea of less necessary size than that of
a Plank length.”
“Then John, the Multiverse to be consistent would
require that each thought of any mind would be consistent with the appropriate
pre-determined physical structure of a single Universe; logically then a single
thought would switch any individual’s thought to another Universe with a
structure consistent with that thought selected by the individual.”
“Yes Carla. That is perhaps one of the most remarkable
features of a Multiverse with free will and pre-determinism coexisting. All of
the infinite Universes existing within the Multiverse allow seamless thought
transference laterally. It is just the number of souls that are conscious
thought that are finite or at least numbered and known to God that exist within
the Multiverse.
And that is why God could pre-determine every
possible Universe and pre-create it in its fullness and allow free will to flow
within it to such an extent that it could choose wickedness and occupy
spatio-temporal material locations consistent with it. Until people choose wickedness, the locations
of wickedness aren’t used. They are empty shells without spirit within them.”
“Sure John. Hell existed yet one needs to choose not
to be saved to occupy it. Wicked scenes in the Multiverse exist yet until
someone chooses wickedness no one goes there.”
“And Carla, though God created Lucifer as an angel of
light, Hell was brought into existence to contain him as he choose wickedness.
It is amazing that wickedness is selected by some as a creative power of
destruction as they hope to create more wickedness. They expand human and other
spiritual experience into realms that God never intended for anyone to go to.
Heaven and hell as places of existential self-deterministic destiny would be
challenging and even anathematic concepts for many during the passage of time
that is human experience.”
“What of the quantum mechanics of it all John? What would
the structure of a static Multiverse be in regard to quantum mechanics,
subatomic and virtual particles?”
“My thoughts on the topic are nothing more than
inferences. Consider how gravity exists transcendently within a Universe yet
draws mass only at the speed of light. Gravity need have some sort of faster
than light presence to transcend local limitations of space-time yet draws
other mass together only up to the speed limits of mass within a field
described by general relativity. Gravity
is another emergent characteristic of the entanglement of virtual particles
that for any given particle occupies theoretically every possible location in
the space-time of a Universe. The probabilities of entanglement increase
compresent with the increase of mass. Hence mass is drawn together as an
emergent phenomena that seems to be gravity.
Each individual virtual particle and a unique
configuration of a Universe as a unique Universe differing from another by as
little difference as the location selected through entanglement of one virtual
particle from another is required for comprehensive permutations of all
possible structures to exist alongside those of all possible Universes that
could be occupied by a human being thought actualization state. Of the
switching mechanics of a soul from one Universe to another that is consistent
with his or her thoughts and free will selections in a world-line I cannot say
right now. I will, God willing, give that some additional thought eventually.
It may be either a material or a spiritual mechanics since either is consistent
with a theology of a Multiverse fully actualized by God.”
“Then I may infer John, that God has provided people
with free will that allows them, existentially, to choose their own
destination in hell, should they decide not to accept his call unto eternal
salvation through the atoning sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ?”
“I agree with that inference Carla. Keeping in mind of
course, that wickedness is the evil that men do, while plain evil are events
enacted by nature and else without act of human will, so far as one interprets
Biblical use of the terms. Satan is wicked while earthquakes that collapse well
designed and built structures may be evil, contingent upon their effects on
humanity-for instance the city may have been long deserted and an eyesore and
the Earthquake served as an accelerated improvisational urban renewal phase
one; hence not evil.”
“Evil in nature need impact humans adversely to be
evil and therefore is a secondary emergent phenomena?”
“Again Carla, I must agree.”
“Well then John, we should make our way to the
observation deck and then check out the available crew quarters.”
Solid Oxygen (frozen) Bars by the Ton for Space
At some point solid frozen oxygen bars would be useful for humans on planetary missions. Oxygen freezes solid at about 371 degrees below zero f. If it can be stored without loss or sublimation inside some kind of thin wrapper that oxygen might be gathered and frozen on the Moon and Mars. Sending practical oxygen ice making machines to various solar system locations to produce caches of oxygen ice blocks night be an early business opportunity in support of mining and industrial innovation for materials tech.

Porn Star is Democrat's Lead Striker Against President
The fact that a porn star was able to suck a Presidential candidate better than any student intern (if that was the role she played) and is the Democrat Party's leading attacker on the Trump administration at the present time is rather unusual. The people tend to prefer that a President hasn't got to spend too much time away from genuinely public interests, and affairs of pornography aren't usually considered to be first place on the public interest agenda for a President to spend his or her time with.
The Mueller probe looking for a way to stick it to the administration on behest of the losing Clintonistas have had to look to porn stars as their go-to people for levering their way into surveilling the phone calls of the President's personal attorney. In lieu of actual collusion to take over the Executive branch of government with a foreign power, presumably in order to mutually benefit a foreign power (no I don't mean England), the President's possible sex entanglement with a porn performer is in the media glare. Stormy Daniels isn't Monica Lewinsky. Why should a federal prosecutor be free to tap the President's personal attorney's phone so far as to know anyone he conversed with by phone? The ubiquitous surveillance state knows no bounds. It is as if maggots have finished debridging gangrenous meat and are eating into healthy flesh.

If the President did have sex with that woman, no one really cares so far as it does not concern the nation's business. One elects a President for positions on policy rather than on his or her personal life besides things that qualify or strictly disqualify for or from the performance of the duties of office.
