A scientific study finds that historical records of rapid climate change coincides with the decline and fall of empires.

Other interpretations are possible. Yet it was probably Attila the Hun and the Goths combining to assault a decadent Roman Empire in the same time period that led to the end of the Roman Empire. One might speculate that rapid climate change drove the Goths out of the North and the Huns off from the step, yet we like to think that it was the wild debauchery on wealthy estates and pretty jewels that stimulated the pagan hordes to attacks and plundering of conspicuous wealth.
With more than 30,000 people killed in Mexico in the drug wars the past 4 years perhaps Mexico is becoming more like a pagan host readying to attack an empire with climate change, or maybe not. If draught overtakes China because of global warming they will be motivated to attack Alaska and cooler places in Siberia and North America with hundreds of millions of soldiers and stealth fighters.
I still prefer to believe that dumb, uncreative political leadership is a better reason for the end of civilization as well as a factor in anthropogenic climate change including global warming. Throughout the past fifty years U.S. political leadership has avoiding taking the turn toward anti-ecocide insinuation of our society into a green peace with a stable population motivated toward quality rather than quantity growth with full employment and a fair, free standard of living for all.
For some reason homo sapiens sapiens believe that as the sole surviving species of the hominid line we are excellent survivors, instead, it may be a reason for less than optimism regarding human prospects on Earth-unlike varieties of ants, only one kind of human species exists and its prospects for destroying itself and the global ecosystem are excellent.

An Extra Essay on Calibi-Yau Space Cosmology
Calibi-Yau geometrical analysis constructed a six dimensional manifold serving as a model for the way six small dimension underlying our three dimensions of space that are 'full' size could mathematically exist. Such a construction need be mathematically consistent yet hasn't an implicit requirement that is actually is the representation of the structure of this Universe.
If it is the best and a fairly accurate representation that tweaked up with string or m-theory eventually supplants the standard model of quantum mechanics, what about the dimension of time?
Is time one dimension without limits that is fully extended as eternity in all directions in which emantaed spatial dimensions flow like leaves in a divine wind of omni directional yet compacted dimensions and potential? Is an omnipresent eternal time through which spatial dimensions journey a 'host' for the motion of atomic and chemical recombinant physics?
Toward the end of Yau-Nadis' 'The Shape of Inner Space' I have found a few more interesting ideas that I can add to my notes on the topic of string, M-theory, cosmology and Calabi-Yau space before closing the cover.
Extra-dimensional mathematical modeling arrives through algebra and geometry. Many avenues of approach exist to construct extra-dimensional shapes. Some of the shapes are useful for modelling how extra-dimensions may be formed in our Universe.
Preponderantly it is believed that our four dimensional universe may have six more dimensions compacted tightly and on which our four larger dimensions of space-time are attached. One of the interesting conjectures is that these smaller dimensions have a lot of intrinsic energy and are bound up by powerful membranes. The acceleration of space-time may be a consequence of these smaller dimensions 'flexing' their energy. It is also thought that eventually the smaller dimensions may suddenly become unbound and expand into full scale dimensions and the universe will then have ten dimensions fully expanded rather than four.
The smaller dimensions may have energy that warps the four dimensional space-time unevenly. A new kind of geometry may need to be developed in order to describe very small spaces less than a Planck length in size. Will such geometries map quantum uncertainty as compact potential scalable into warped space-time/mass-energy equivelences?
Within the context of Yau's technical knowledge helpfully put into plain language by Nadis this cosmological speculation seems utterly reasonable. The CMB or cosmic microwave background is a source for continuing research for traces of evidence such as polarization that could support string theory as a cosmological explanatory tool.
The possibilities for cosmology with string theory are increasing very swiftly rather than decreasing-good news for us philosopher-Christians interested in a complex Universe issued by God rather than a simple one such as some physicists regarded as possible a few years ago.The more numerous the possible varieties of Universal past, present and future are brought to mind the more intriguing is the power of God to issue a Word for the conservation of mass and energy to start. A zillion to the zillionth power of potentials arose from one creative will to be and become;its juxtaposition in a geometry of space-time phenomenal configurations is too interesting not to marvel at for its beauty of composition.

'The Great Theologians' by Gerald R. McDermott
This page turner of a little more than 200 pages is well worth reading. It is succinct coverage of just eleven theologians from Origin to Von Balthasar who have shaped the way Christians think about God and Jesus Christ. Especially in America we tend to overlook to what extent our basic Christian beliefs have been defended and conserved and on occasion liberated by the efforts of these individuals.
A notable point for simple clarification is the argument made for Biblical literalism today. It simply isn't as simple as that. In the 3rd century (born in the second), Origen wrote 'the first systematic treatment of Christianity as a whole' called De Principiis (first principles). Origen also explained the fourfold root of Biblical interpretation.
McDermott explains that Origen described four different yet complimentary ways of interpreting Biblical scripture. First is the literal reading (historical). Second is the allegorical (what you should believe). Third is the tropological or moral (what you should do) and fourthly there is the anagogical (leading up). This last interpretation has that interesting word anagogical. This category of interpretation points to the future with Jesus Christ for the elect. We may find meaning throughout the Bible in each of these senses of interpretation very often in the same scripture.
McDermott writes that Athanasius in the 5th century basically saved Christianity from the Arian heresy that Jesus Christ was not fully God and co-eternal with the Father. As a short, dark Egyptian monastic alive in the time of the Eastern Roman Empire of Constantine and later his son Constantinius who each tended to favor the followers of Arius that was no easy task.
Athanasius also developed the theological concept of theopoiesis (it means divination) relating that Christians develop an increasingly Christ like character as they move farther away from the sin nature of fallen humanity. Satan may of course continue to nag Christians and try to draw them back into the human maelstrom of the fallen material condition (possibly enticing them to illicit sex, global warming denial and ecological ecocidal politics), yet Jesus Christ having overcome death and providing a model for Christian right social relations brings the faithful (without becoming godlike) to be more perfect, as He is perfect, through the power of His blessing (shed blood atoning vicariously for all those of faith).
McDermott's breezy treatment of these serious subjects is an excellent reminder of the provident grace provided by a lifetime of sober scholarship. Many of these theologians were themselves dedicated to learning of Jesus Christ and the Biblical truth in trying times of continuous political turmoil. Often they wrote well outside academia and state sponsorship. Today's Christians can find inspiration in that as a generation of spiritual homelessness co-generated by church and state compels conformation to consumerism and globalism in a hierarchical corporatism commercialization; more intelligent and contemplative use of ecological and spiritual resources ought instead to prevail in ecclesiastical structure, economics, ecological and political renewal.

A Year After the Haiti Quake-800,000 Still Tenting-What Would M.L.K. Do?
Haiti was a good example of modern sales ptiches and pr. After a year the 5 billion dollars in promised financial help is generally still undelivered. There has been a tremendous volunteer effort, yet the prospects for innovative, competant adequate long term housing at low cost for most seems another unrealized dream.
One might believe that a year after the Earthquake the reverend martin Luther King actually would have had something to say about the state of affairs in haiti if he were alive. Well, we have Sean Penn-perhaps not quite as inspirational of a speaker but a guy who is trying, and Sarah Palin visted for a day to lift the spirits of the Haitians.
Buckminster Fuller's dome institue actually has well laid plans for emergency steel pipe dome housing. With a pipe bender one can make a variety of shape including a martian lander looking structure with a floor off the ground for comparatively peanuts. Why modern hyper-shape technology cannot be used for Haitian relief I cannot understand except with the application of some cynicism regarding the inability of society to pervasively modernize methods except perhaps in war.

There are some efforts to send domes to Haiti. Upgraded and reintensified design and application efforts should be coordinated by FEMA if only for the sake of practice for an American emergency. We recall how badly the toxic trailers went for Hurricane Katrina.
Solar, wind power, methane production from human waste and planting of crops-maybe Haiti should be carved up like Antarctica amidst nations with areas of responsibility in order to provide competition to get the best job done quickest. Even President Obama should want to field a crack low-cost alternative housing team to put together a quick 100,000 four person homes-why not?

Christian Spiritual Homelessness
Many Americans today, including youth, experience a sense of alienation, of spiritual homelessness in the midst of tremendous material prosperity accreting to the rich. Traditional Christian Churches have largely failed the challenge of evolving from a feudalism mirroring hierarchical structure historical established to function to enrich a separate and unequal clergy.
Even in today's troubled economy more than 13% of Americans relocate annually in search of opportunity. With the change of city and state they too often find a franchise and television neo-realism providing their roots to philosophy and faith. The displaced or dispossessed experience, hip hop, football and pop shows as a temporal home beside their car.
Post-modern spiritual homelessness has developed in America for a nation trained by an impersonal media to rave and consume. Seventy-five percent of the economy is said to rely on consumerism. More that 35% of the workforce is employed in financial related services. More than a quarter of all rental properties in the United States are foreign owned and multi-national corporations made a joke of national competitiveness. Social anomie grows amidst high unemployment and millions of illegal alien immigrant displacement workers.
Churches too often are drive in tithing centers for people with SUVs to bring their children to for moral refuge if not true faith. Christians are second rated spectators in churches that forget their name and contribution when they leave town to search for a job.
Unequal network financial advantages pervasive today allow some to earn several lifetimes’ earnings with quick currency trading, and others labor if able to find work for what amounts to a fraction of the interest earned each day by non-workers with capital advantage. The Book of Deuteronomy 25 verses 13 through 16 warns against this;
13 “You shall not have in your bag differing weights, a heavy and a light. 14 You shall not have in your house differing measures, a large and a small. 15 You shall have a perfect and just weight, a perfect and just measure, that your days may be lengthened in the land which the LORD your God is giving you. 16 For all who do such things, all who behave unrighteously, are an abomination to the LORD your God.
Spiritual homelessness in the United States brought several generations to search for meaning in an increasingly meaningless social environment. Meaning in consumerism without rational regarding to environmental consequences, social injustice and national dissipation cannot replace an activist priesthood of Christian believers wherein a Church may have a wise bishop and a congregation of priests sharing the tasks and tithing as peers more or less in a structured context.
Spiritual homeless may be remedied with a spiritual home generally available for Christian in a nationwide priesthood of believers. A structured Christian social welfare safety net should be created with a network of emergency saving (perhaps $3000 dollars), employment and service credit banks, medical help from members and a lifetime record of church attendance and participation prevents the erasure of a ‘laity’ and their work.
Youth in America should know that they really aren’t alone, as should everyone else, as Christian outsiders looking in toward isolated SUV congregations of the middle class that at best may consider it generous to cast some charity toward the spiritually homeless. Christian churches must be as interested in providing structured, material emergency support for every Christian account as well as that of a hierarchical clergy.
The Apostle Paul believed that Deuteronomy 25:4 “4 “You shall not muzzle an ox while it treads out the grain.” meant that a preacher should receive sustenance for his Christian work. That may be so; however it does not imply that an exclusive priesthood was best. At most a priesthood of believers should have beginner, intermediate and elder status in assembly with roles within the sphere of competence of each. Christians should be encouraged to mature and welcome to participate fully in worship service, perhaps rotating roles. As every Christian is a priest, the absence of any one would be meaningful. The national church would be a real spiritual home capable of transcending the national chaos anomie and spiritual homelessness that is a derivative of the development of post-modern American society.

We may learn that today’s clergy are overpaid by 3000% according to the pay scale of the book of Deuteronomy. The faithful were to save ten percent of their annual produce and bring it to a sacred spot to feast once a year to honor God. In such practice of saving poverty would be avoided. Every third year the 10% was to be given to widows, orphans and materially non-productive priests. Thus the clergy were to receive 1/3rd of ten percent of the faithful’s income every third year.
Today’s priesthood of believers could save their material abundance and annual invest it in church projects honoring God from which they personally share the benefit.
Creating a practical social organization-an ecclesiastical organization-that realistically offers a national spiritual home for all Christians is no simple task. Probably it would require several prominent hierarchical priests supporting publically the innovation of such a church. The need for a priesthood of believers is plain and possible in an era of universal literacy; the unwillingness of those earning a comfortable living from the present structure is also hard to change. Jesus said ;
(Matthew 7-12) “7 “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. 9 Or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? 10 Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent? 11 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him! 12 Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.”
One must believe that the better perfect of the spiritual church of Jesus Christ will in time advance.

Stars and Empty Space (poem)
The sun chases around empty space
leaving its past behind in perpetual recurrence
near emptiness with virtual particles and cosmic rays
crenellated dimensions; six extra small ones they’ve said
one star in a metaphor of warped space
time a fully extended direction processing space force fields
Stars burning hydrogen in the darkness
abyssal night of non-being
attuned to the transformation of ideas
stars move like unit cartridges in a river flow
packaged to burn with nowhere to go
Like past season’s tent pitched
aslope of soggy moss over a log
the water is unfrozen and leaves undead amidst early snow
thoughts of God we believe set everywhere similes of pre-formed patterns
determinism of constructed universes strung together
As the Lamb of God was slaughtered from the first moment intelligence became lost
recovering the beginning of time with a Word for Himself and for others
we’ve asked pardon for misunderstanding
everything subject to analysis and reasoned theories
that seems beautiful topographically and for-itself
stars in greater movements in a space-book of pages turned.

Exeperimental Superconducting Cities; Anchorage and Fairbanks Alaska?
The scientific quest for room temperature superconductors made progress in 2010. Scientists using a variety of material including plastic discovered new materials and methods for creating superconductivity. As the temperature increases for superconducting materials the cost of cooling the wire to create the superconducting effect decreaases. Presently the baseline for 'what works' is about 321 degrees below zero. That sounds cold, yet one needs good insulators to contain a liquified gas coolant.
2G HTS (high temperature superconductor) wire has allowed superconduction with less than .5% loss of electrons because of resistance at temperatures as high as -77 degrees Kelvin.
Because global warming effects the north more extremely than temperature areas it is worthwhile liberating Alaska cities first from reliance upon coal, oil and gas fuel sources. Electrical energy created by non-traditional alternative energy technologies coupled with extremely efficient, low resistant super-conducting wire networks should be particularly developed in locations in Anchorage, Fairbanks and other Alaskan cities esopecially contributing to high latitude global warming gassing/emmissions. As when summoning help from a crowd to call for emergency medical relief, it is best to address one particular person rather than to just general ask of all for none are then responsible sometimes. Without developing complete cities to alternative energy power to serve as national examples of fossil fuel-free energy living, it is likely that congress will pettyfog the needed transition for decades or at least until the New World Order owns all of the newer infrastructure for their profit and the nation's wage servitude.
Temperatures of minus 321 degrees Fahrenheit are readily achievable with liquid nitrogen and hydrogen. It would be helpful is some global warming greenhouse gases could be extracted from the atmosphere and used for cooling superconductors-though improbable.
Regular power lines lose as much as 7% power to resistance in the line. Superconductor independence effectively means national energy independence. Wind, solar, and fuel cell electric power input to super-conductor storage loops should be able to meet U.S. energy needs without redundant wastage through use of inefficient power lines. Select corridors and urban areas would most effectively respond to increased energy transmission efficiency.
The cities of Anchorage and Fairbanks Alaska could be used for federal experimental 100% superconducting and alternate energy input cities.

OPED on the Tucson Shootings and Political Feeding Frenzy
Political killings of vulnerable American politicians are an historical fact of life. From Abraham Lincoln to McKinley and mayoral candidate Moscone of San Francisco unusual reason emerge to send assassins forward with whatever weapon is convenient to terminate the object of their interest. The mass shootings in Tucson Arizona including a U.S. Representative, Federal Judge and a nine year old are part of the price of a free society.
Just across the Mexican-American border in a society with tight gun controls more than 30,000 people have been killed in a narco turf war the past four years. One of the reasons that violence dominates in that gun controlled society is that much of the vigorously healthy and intelligent Mexican working force flees northward to Arizona to take jobs. As many as 4000 Mexicans cross each day into Arizona on their way to seek work in Tucson, Phoenix, Main, South Carolina, Chicago, California and elsewhere.
U.S. politicians and left-leaning media commentators ask for tighter regulation of the rabble and gun sales that threaten the continuing concentration of wealth in the United States. Mayor Bloomberg of New York-A billionaire has demanded stricter gun controls on those that threaten the concentration of wealth and peoniozation of the populace. Incredibly, many commentators believe that political rhetoric causes the eccentric shooter to move to kill a politicians rather than prevailing social conditions.
In a nation with 10 to 20% real unemployment, with 20 to 30 million illegal aliens and not much hope for many American youth for prosperity and with a concentration of wealth supported even by the Democratic Party in the recent approval of continued tax cuts for the super-rich it does not seem strange that at least one youth would statistically break free and throw away his future in a society in which he may believe their is no manifest employment destiny.
Jared Lee Loughner may be a left-leaning loser snapping after the tax cuts for the rich and Democratic support for amnesty for illegal aliens or not. Each of America's major parties is supportive of the rich and of globalism. The media is owned by the rich and is just a two sides of the same coin bickering back and forth playing with the rights and welfare of the poor and lower middle class. Neither presents a competent prospect for readjustment of the national economic infrastructure to move toward full employment-a concept evidently lost in the 1970s with Hubert H. Humphrey.

Trans-Alaska Oil Pipeline Flow Reduced 95%
The trans-Alaska oil pipeline flow from the North Slope to Valdez Alaska and tidewater has been 95% halted because of a leak at pump station # 1. The pump stations begin with one on the North Slope and increase in number toward Valdez.
The oil pipeline has been sendiing about 630,000 barrels of Alaska sweet crude each day south giving the state of Alaska a royalty fee of about 18 million of the 50 million dollar value of each day's flow. With the pipeline flow radically reduced to just 5% of the usually while an effort is made to construct a bypass pipeline around the leaking spot under pump station number one the dependence of the Alaska state government upon oil corporation payouts and federal flummery is too plain.
Even Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) is complaining out the reduction in oil flow and state oil income. Alaska should have superconducting storage loops, geothermal and solar power hi-tech instead of all the carbonic fossil fuel reliance. The United State has a similar reliance upon OPEC oil and illegal alien labor acting as governors on the U.S. economy preventing prosperity for the nation's poor.

The Spiritually Homeless
Such Sunday topics as beheadings and head shots are unfortunate. The 3rd century Christian father Origen was tortured with his legs pulled apart three paces on the rack. I guess we can thus recognize political discourse on a Sunday as reasonable in a time when so many of us are spiritually homeless in America.
If all of the members of Congress were shot through the head the collective I.Q. might not decrease much. If the U.S. Congress were not such a bunch of wealthy and out of touch people they might comprehend why poor Americans care that illegal aliens roam at will over the border to take jobs.
In prior times revolutions occurred that liquidated inherent politicians. In America today such though it unthinkable as it would sully the profitable lifestyles of the rich and famous.
A church built with a priesthood of believers would give the spiritually homeless someplace to go. The churches of greed are full of SUV's and people wishing like a Sokka Gakki meeting for material things. The spiritual well being of the faithful should have a reflecting social, work and well being network able to share without obvious charity except in mutual service the produce of their labors. Spiritual savings and material savings ought to have a priesthood of believers savings bank tithed by the people of the priesthood.
There are many paradoxes about a nation as wealthy as the U.S.A. that runs a 14 trillion dollar debt and has a political class that does not feel the pain of the unemployed. One might wish for an ideal, utopian society of free enterprise, full employment, secure borders and a recovering national environment and gets a lot of loutish globalists without any sort of nationalistic, patriotic good sense.
Mexico has more beheadings than Al Qa'eda, more people killed in the past four years per capita than did America in Vietnam and the Korean conflicts combined, and the U.S. congress supports tax cuts for the rich, concentration of wealth and dim prospects for employment for the young and old.
Republicans in Congress should design their own, better health care system and try to advance it before just cancelling the corporatist, omnibus health care slop the Democrats foisted upon the nation (leaving the poor out in the cold generally).
It is a tragedy that political violence serves to remind the public of the pervasive, incompetent incoherence of congressional budgeting and national economic defense since the end of the Regan administration. I hope the Speaker of the House does not cry tearfully in speeches in the House ahead. Men crying in politics are not at all helpful, really.
The skull and crossbones nature of the U.S. economy and its concentration of wealth through globalism, corporatism and an absurdly low 36% tax rate could be paralleled by unloyal citizen entrepreneurs. An equivalent video game equivalence of outsourcing of industry might be a 'Kill the Millionaire' game in which points are won for shooting millionaire footballers, basketballers, CEO's, Congress and business people in their own 'work' environments with a variety of weapons. Yet if someone wrote up such a game and became a millionaire themself they might run the risk of be perceived as hypocritical if they are not included in the game. Real millionaires and congresspersons ought to really consider the real financial interests of their constituents too in failing to prioritize their real interests. If it weren't for the fact that it costs more than a million to run for congress, voters might exact political corrections at the ballot box.

About a Ten Dimension Universe
One might wonder where the extra six dimensions-and an extra six directions- are. Analytical geometers can construct a theoretical hyper dimensional object and make consistent inferences regarding its properties such as relatively speaking, the Pythagorean Theorem provides for triangles and object constructed from them. The particles and waves of quantum mechanics haven’t got a comprehensive, in depth mathematical explanation quite yet that tie in to gravity and other large, solid state physics features of the universe, so the mathematics of hyper-dimensional geometry has taken its turn (ref. the Shape of inner Space by Yau and Nadis 2010).
What one finds in reading about extra dimensional space-presently generally thought of as ‘small dimensions’ are a world of ideas of construction of dimensions generally.
Our three ‘large’ dimensions of space may be tied onto a string of smaller dimensions like leaves, or not. Myriad analogies exist to describe the way an extra six dimensions of space fundamentally made of strings could cohere in association with our three dimensions of space. It may be that the dimension of time transcends the nine dimensions of space in what fundamentally could be a ten dimensional universe.
Like the tip of an iceberg compared to the mass-energy of these three dimensions the bulk of matter and energy may be hidden below the surface in these smaller, extra six dimensions. Its’ only one theoretical approach however, and the limits of such extra-dimensional constructions of geometry could be unlimited and of course presently unknown.
Geometrical models of the quantum mechanical world must be internally consistent and then find some consistence with observed behavior of quanta. Some string theory actually predicts gravity in addition to just describing a formula relation to space-time, mass and energy. With mass and energy flowing into six extra dimensions the possibilities of its behavior in that realm is unknown too. If size is relative, could there be corresponding real echo world realities within those six dimensions albeit of a smaller comparative size?
It is something of a paradox than any dimension might be regarded as being ‘small’ if they are infinite yet compact. One would expect the smaller dimensions to change in scale in a way comparable to the expansion of our three spatial dimensions.
The basic particle of string theory is said to be a string. String may combine or be stretched out in different dimensions to form sheets, spheres, loops, branes, membranes and hyper-dimensional Calibi-Yau manifolds or non-Kohler structures. One might obviously ask ‘what is a string made of ?’.
Basically one has a quanta of being-the string- and nothingness. The string or abundance of strings at the beginning might have been cut from the same ball of yarn into myriad little pieces that reassemble as best they can forming complex hyper-dimensional shapes in the process that seems to be the three dimensions of space-time we live in. Time is something of an enigma. As a dimension without space dimensions what would it be?
The vast number of potential configurations of strings as basic quanta that may serve to assemble cosmological theories and large-scale units of assembly can be narrowed down a bit by requiring that their math and geometric structures agree with observation. The equivalence of string and dimensions seem to agree in some why, I think, in as far as math regards the properties of real things rather than dimensions as things for themselves. Physicists may use a Calibi-Yau manifold as a given structure or shell in which strings, loops and branes exist with the math of those surfaces and strength of units of string energy have a rational though complex reality subject to mathematical description. The number of dimensions that could exist in any universe may or may not have a limit. If geometers can imagine, or computers design 1000 dimension Universes in theory what would stop them from existing in fact-Occam’s razor?
So math and cosmology has entered this intriguing period of conjecture and observation. Just 15 years ago cosmologists thought they were approaching some sort of a conclusion to scientific learning about the Universe. It was believed a big bang just exploded, or inflated space-time into existence maybe from nothing, or perhaps recurring in cycles in a never ending or beginning process (that later sounds improbable). Now it seems that there are a trillion possible structures to explain observations of the quantum world, of the WMAP Cosmic microwave background of the early universe, numerous new theories of gravity, space and time, possibilities that extra dimensions may warp our three dimensions of space and that local warps might be measured and compared to a hypothetically correct metric for the extra-dimensional relationship.
It is a good time to be interested in cosmology and in theology too, for one may yet find the Word of God issuing reality a ready to contemplate paradigm for the way strings were created to start with. Theological considerations of a universe before inflation or creation of dimensions still leaves an eternity of time as a dimension that contains temporal dimensions and membranes as they occur occasionally. One wonders about such phenomenalities occurring within a timeless eternity perhaps a complex structure of dimensions grounding spiritual existence temporally. It is an interesting time to consider space and being.

Amphibious Tank Faces Cut From Defense Budget
The project would cost nearly 12 billion dollars and the Secdef is trying to kill it. Much as I dislike agreeing with that particular SecDef he is right-the era of beach landings should be decreasing with other means of entry and delivering of explosive power increasing. Defense weapons need to be good if they are to be an effective deterrent.
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704055204576068090692201036.html?mod=googlenews_wsj
A better vehicle to pursue would be a low-profile combination jet-ski-hydrofoil/hovercraft for one or two marines. Such a vehicle would also be simpler to air drop anyplace. High speed mobil insertion of special operation forces far beyond the beach would be more likely. Stand off and remotely or intelligently guided conventional weapons systems are also increasing as are the ways to detect comparatively hard to conceal amphibious tanks. The Marines ought to look ahead as well as behind in selecting innovative weapons systems useful from pole to pole and around the globe.

Reason Why a Palin Presidency Would Be the Jewel in the Crown for BP, Exxon, Connoco-Phillips
Alaska may be the prime jewel in the chocolate box of goodies in the United States that global corporate resource extraction businesses wish to exploit. Without a senior senator such as Ted Stevens in their pocket, and with U.S. Representative Don Young as their best bet for levering resource extractions from the federal government the reasoning behind a Palin presidency becomes fairly obvious; maximize the immediate potential resource extraction value for corporate profit.
With an oil corporation loyalist President from Alaska all federal restraints on resource development could be thrown to the winds. Discretionary executive protection on land, sea, sky and wildlife might be cast aside like hindrances upon a closing out sale on sensitive areas such as Bristol Bay, the Arctic national wildlife refuge and innumerable river systems. Sarah Palin has thus far demonstrated no reluctance to serve as a yes woman for plundering the national and world wildlife and ecology treasures of Alaska. Even global warming concerns could be dismissed and full development of the Arctic coast for offhore oil exploration and highway construction given the red state light.
One of the helpful things about apocalyptic religious beliefs is their potential to be used as Gnostic excuses for apocalyptic ecology practices.
Exxon maintains a low profile in Alaska and now does BP. Presently Connoco-Phillips is the high profile oil corporation with hard hat wearing executives in their large downtown Anchorage office building-at least until they to join the ranks of those maxi-scale polluters that must skulk away for a time. There are numerous corporations seeking to build vast mines in Britol Bay, dam the Susitna River or otherwise insult and injure Alaskan fisheries. The effort to conserve world ecological health would be serious adversely impacted with a Palin led federal government.

Four Dimensional Universe Could Expand to Ten
String theory has provided numerous striking insights into the potential and actual behavior of the physical Universe. Fields Medal winner Shin Tung Yau has co-authored a book published in November 2010 in which he describes ‘The Shape of Inner Space’. Yau’s work at constructing geometrical shapes of hyper-dimensions following on the work of another mathematician named Calabi provided the famous Calibi-Yau manifolds that presently best exemplify what a six dimensional geometric shape might be like.
The Calibi-Yau manifolds are a mathematical construction and valuable for-themselves in the progress of geometry. Yau mentions that a new geometry may be needed for the very small realm of quantum mechanics. Such geometry might work in the realm of quantum uncertainty.
Physicists have applied the Calibi-Yau shapes to string theory cosmology. Strings instead of particles are thought to be the irreducibly smallest component of matter. Strings viewed end on seem like points, and from other points of view can be viewed as circles or ellipses, branes or membranes. If matter can be compacted and folded into six extra dimensions it could better explain gravity and other aspects of mass and energy.
The extra dimensions have energy and were tightly bound near the start of this universe. Their energy could be flexing and providing the recently observed acceleration of space. The six dimensions could decompact suddenly and the Universe would then have ten dimensions disrupting all present forms of matter in the phase transition. The six extra dimensions may locally warp the three full size-dimensions of space. Time as a dimension may transcend all the other nine spatial dimensions.
There may be a hundred years of research ahead in math and physics measuring space carefully to discern the effects of extra dimensions, if not construct a few; would it be possible to construct a ten dimensional object in three dimensional space?

112th Congress Opens to Republican Corporatist Perfidy to Democrat's
It is written that in just 15 years the Federal budget will be able to afford to pay interest on the national debt, social security, Medicare, Medicaid and nothing else. Obviously social programs will be radically trimmed to pay for military and public infrastructure. In fact the lion's share of federal payouts will go to corporate related receivers and those with U.S. bonds.
Speaker John Boehner known to burst into tears at the slightest of sentimental opportunity may rely upon a pat on the back from 'Nurse' Nancy Pelosi should he need moral reinforcement from the former Speaker. The pretentious and time consuming political process of rolling back the corporate health care bill forced through by the Democrats in the 111th session is as disingenuous as the will to restore good government financing by either part. The corporate world wins in either case; they began the HOMO corporate health groups that own much of the medical world in America anyway.
"Matt 23:23-24
"Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of your spices-mint, dill and cummin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law-justice, mercy and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former. 24 You blind guides! You strain out a gnat but swallow a camel."
A special form of medical bankruptcy bill should be passed to allow those of us with medical bills to bankrupt more easily after irresponsibly picking up medical bills such as hernia and anesthesia can dump. Recover from medical bankruptcy is important for those hoping to have housing in some future Alaskan winter.
The 112th Congress will continue to the idiot effort to convert Pakistanis to atheism with the missionary approach of high altitude targeted bombing and specialized assassination. Arnold Toynbee would have though that such an approach would be counter-productive.
Obviously Afghanistan must become a flourishing neo-India state with a liberal and irreverent Muslim majority if it is to cohere within the sort of political outlook held in Boston and Washington D.C. Such a state would require vast financial support-there is better, more pragmatic approaches the corrupt cannot foresee evidently.
American desire to control Pakistan culturally is just bad policy-even Americans believe the broadcast media and the beltway culture somewhat rabid with wealth and power-why should the Pakistanis think better of them?
Neither do we believe that a Palin style political Pentecostalism is a rational or truthful political methodology potentially capable of addressing world political issues challenging to the United States in a competent way.

Malachi 3:9
" 9Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation."
Galatians 3:10-14
10For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.
11But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.
12And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.
13Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
14That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith."
Protestant Pentecostalism tends to run toward an ignorant inimical facade of spirituality rather than the real thing. I should explain why it seems some of the speaking in gibberish seems equally able to support a demonic nonsense language as readily as any other.
The apostle Paul said he was capable of speaking in tongues (foreign languages) better than about anyone (he was quite a world traveler) but did not because people would take him for an idiot. At the actual Pentecost (an historical event) Christians spoke in foreign languages that they could not speak before and other people understood them. It was a sign of the new age when the Holy Spirit would in dwell Christians during the absence of Jesus Christ. All Christians have the Holy Spirit, yet none are required top speak a foreign language to prove that.
Ooh e ooh ah ah, flim flam, walla wall bim bam, bim bam walla wall bim bam
The Protestant clergy in America may be entirely out of phase with the historical and prophetic requirement for a priesthood of believers instead of a hierarchical priesthood. One Pentecostal minister opened the New Year with a sermon on the same old tithing requirement 3000% too high for a clergy that ought not exist. The same Malachi curse leverage was used. A story about 'how God works' was given such that the pastor receives a million dollar home for just taking over payments and a few dollars from a builder and former pastor that was being foreclosed upon. That was a miracle that the pastor got a millionaire dollar home for nothing! No good Christian would have just helped to let the old couple keep the house of course...
An evangelical clergy seeking to find leverage to enrich itself financially and politically is the sort of corrupting horeshit the nation does not need today. Such people are babes in Toyland, game show guests on lets make a deal choosing the curtain. Politicians or clergy letting the Wall- Street and Banking crowd corrupt the nation, skim off resources and lie, cheat and steal their way to concentrate wealth simply aren't helpful.
President Obama, SecDef Gates and Admiral Mullins gave the captain of the Enterprise a dishonorable discharge fore making bad videos for the crew. I have made 100 videos the Enterprise could use to build moral. Obviously YouTube video making is a politically tough thing. The reason few in the military protested against the end of don't ask, don't tell is obvious-they would be purged if they did such as occurred to captain Honors.
The nation has a surfeit of clergy as Mafiosi seeking financial and political leverage instead of a priesthood of believers. I have written about the priesthood of believers and the problem of tithing. The following tow web sites have much information on the subjects.

While the protestant clergy is simply a gaggle of corrupt tithe collectors seeking patronage from the wealthy the moral lessons for the masses and for political foreign policy will definitely suffer. Jesus was crucified by the clergy because of their fear of losing financial power and little has changed today; just try to establish a priesthood of believers and the clergy as no understanding, cognitive awareness or interest in the least.
So the nation has slipped into domination by bad global corporatists down grading the democracy of the United States. Perversion has become a litmus test for those seeking to earn a living in many regards. In an era where physical work is disrespected and competent intellectual work as well, in an era where the majority of Americans are encouraged to be wise-guys and bad neighbors, evil and wickedness advance. The 110th congress isn't very likely to do much to make the country better, balance the budget, restore the environment, secure the borders, assure that all Americans are gainfully employed and so forth. Bad neighborliness is simply a fact of corporatism.
We know that corporate subsidies from taxpayers are a fact of life. Without public support such as highways and airports the corporate world could not exist. Perhaps we should allow a feudal America to develop with Corporate and clerical Mafioso running the highways, schools and ecology. I look forward to Wal-mart medical services as a way to flood the nation with competent anesthesiologists from India. Making the United States a democracy with secure borders and full employment seems to be far too much of a challenge for the morally challenged Congress and Protestant Clergy of the day. Well, we can look forward to the return of Jesus Christ on the prophetic schedule anyway especially as there is something rotten in Denmark or Wasilla. We may need to wait a while though-long enough for real reform in some 114th or 120th Congress perhaps.
Speaker John Boehner known to burst into tears at the slightest of sentimental opportunity may rely upon a pat on the back from 'Nurse' Nancy Pelosi should he need moral reinforcement from the former Speaker. The pretentious and time consuming political process of rolling back the corporate health care bill forced through by the Democrats in the 111th session is as disingenuous as the will to restore good government financing by either part. The corporate world wins in either case; they began the HOMO corporate health groups that own much of the medical world in America anyway.
"Matt 23:23-24
"Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of your spices-mint, dill and cummin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law-justice, mercy and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former. 24 You blind guides! You strain out a gnat but swallow a camel."
A special form of medical bankruptcy bill should be passed to allow those of us with medical bills to bankrupt more easily after irresponsibly picking up medical bills such as hernia and anesthesia can dump. Recover from medical bankruptcy is important for those hoping to have housing in some future Alaskan winter.
The 112th Congress will continue to the idiot effort to convert Pakistanis to atheism with the missionary approach of high altitude targeted bombing and specialized assassination. Arnold Toynbee would have though that such an approach would be counter-productive.
Obviously Afghanistan must become a flourishing neo-India state with a liberal and irreverent Muslim majority if it is to cohere within the sort of political outlook held in Boston and Washington D.C. Such a state would require vast financial support-there is better, more pragmatic approaches the corrupt cannot foresee evidently.
American desire to control Pakistan culturally is just bad policy-even Americans believe the broadcast media and the beltway culture somewhat rabid with wealth and power-why should the Pakistanis think better of them?
Neither do we believe that a Palin style political Pentecostalism is a rational or truthful political methodology potentially capable of addressing world political issues challenging to the United States in a competent way.

Malachi 3:9
" 9Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation."
Galatians 3:10-14
10For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.
11But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.
12And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.
13Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
14That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith."
Protestant Pentecostalism tends to run toward an ignorant inimical facade of spirituality rather than the real thing. I should explain why it seems some of the speaking in gibberish seems equally able to support a demonic nonsense language as readily as any other.
The apostle Paul said he was capable of speaking in tongues (foreign languages) better than about anyone (he was quite a world traveler) but did not because people would take him for an idiot. At the actual Pentecost (an historical event) Christians spoke in foreign languages that they could not speak before and other people understood them. It was a sign of the new age when the Holy Spirit would in dwell Christians during the absence of Jesus Christ. All Christians have the Holy Spirit, yet none are required top speak a foreign language to prove that.
Ooh e ooh ah ah, flim flam, walla wall bim bam, bim bam walla wall bim bam
The Protestant clergy in America may be entirely out of phase with the historical and prophetic requirement for a priesthood of believers instead of a hierarchical priesthood. One Pentecostal minister opened the New Year with a sermon on the same old tithing requirement 3000% too high for a clergy that ought not exist. The same Malachi curse leverage was used. A story about 'how God works' was given such that the pastor receives a million dollar home for just taking over payments and a few dollars from a builder and former pastor that was being foreclosed upon. That was a miracle that the pastor got a millionaire dollar home for nothing! No good Christian would have just helped to let the old couple keep the house of course...
An evangelical clergy seeking to find leverage to enrich itself financially and politically is the sort of corrupting horeshit the nation does not need today. Such people are babes in Toyland, game show guests on lets make a deal choosing the curtain. Politicians or clergy letting the Wall- Street and Banking crowd corrupt the nation, skim off resources and lie, cheat and steal their way to concentrate wealth simply aren't helpful.
President Obama, SecDef Gates and Admiral Mullins gave the captain of the Enterprise a dishonorable discharge fore making bad videos for the crew. I have made 100 videos the Enterprise could use to build moral. Obviously YouTube video making is a politically tough thing. The reason few in the military protested against the end of don't ask, don't tell is obvious-they would be purged if they did such as occurred to captain Honors.

Reading 'The Shape of Inner Space'; Annotations on the Cosmology Theme
It is possible to wonder how string theory and extra-dimensions relate to the problems of quantum mechanics. Quantum uncertainty, quantum entanglement and the unpredictability features of the standard model of physics descriptive of the behavior of quantum particles are apparently indeterministic so it is reasonable to wonder how the conservation of energy and information apply to an indeterministic rather than a deterministic world. If quantum particles exist in all possible states before measurement in a waveform collapse into a partially observed position in normal four dimensional space-time what is there to be conserved? What conservation of possible states that do not become are conserved and where?
The physicist Hugh Everett’s cosmological conjecture about an issuance of all possible universes from each quantum effect is one obvious state to consider, for if a new state of a universes promulgated from each quantum possibility no information prima facie seems lost. One might expect that for each qubit of data producing a new universe and infinite number of additional universes ought to be issued producing every other possible altered state as well, obviously. Another infinity of universes should be issued from each of those to conserve their information as well.
These speculations may be somewhat of the basic topic of making more annotations during my reading of Yau and Nadis’ excellent book of mathematical physics of string theory titled ‘The Shape of Inner Space’.
The decoherence of quantum states generally from the more primary quantum world of uncertainty-maybe that can be regarded as the noumenal world described by Immanuel Kant-into this universe of mass and energy considered to be the subject of study of solid state physics is an ephemeral concept useful to consider.
Is the regard for an ephemeral universe of mass and energy of solid state physical as a phenomena essential correct from a human point of view or is the concept just wrong?
Physicists such as Oogan, Strominger, Vafa, Maldecena and Witten have extended string theory geometrical constructions of membranes, D-Branes, and complex structures of membranes called cycles so far as to model black holes within a string theory paradigm. Even Stephen Hawking eventually took the opinion that information is conserved by black holes.
That permits more non-mathematical speculation…Beyond the event horizon of a black hole not only ought mass be compacted worse than in a power-dumpster, it should be in the most disordered state possible without any resemblance to whatever shape it was in before falling into the black hole and the timelessness beyond the event horizon. Practically the state of strings (the smallest and one-dimensional theoretical state of mass-energy) inside the black hole is hard to understand. If maximum entropy has occurred perhaps the strings should have no sort of polarity in regard to each other. Compacted intensely as strings they ought to form something at least such as a very heavy ball of strings.
Yet it is possible that strings never get beyond the event horizon and strings just stick to it like one-dimensional flies caught in extra dimensions. The models of black holes built with string theory have extra-dimensions lurking at the event horizon to catch quantum material passing within-a more logical concept simpler to consider than the black hole paradigm of classical quantum mechanics.
One wonders of the relationship of quantum uncertainty to black holes? Temporal appearances of mass and energy in the universe might be caught in a scaffolding of extra-dimensions (small ones) from which they are unable to return to an underlying realm of quantum uncertainty or not, The acceleration of space could be a function of small extra dimensions flexing for some reason in normal four dimensional space or traveling like clothing pinned to a clothesline. The conservation of energy can mean simply that as the mass energy of space-time changes it becomes part of another existing structure-as when a tree slaughtered in a virgin forest is made into chips and pressboard and made into a sheet to build a restroom in a gasoline station. If information is conserved in the quantum world then structures such as black holes may have more obviously logical explanations within string theory or another potential geometrically constructible model.

Human Violence/Sin are Anti-Human and Anti-Spiritual
On this third day of the New Year it is worthwhile to reflect upon the example of Our Lord in not enacting violence upon our fellow human beings. It is also good to use some of ye old language at this time of year. The King James version of the Bible is an uncomplicated version I enjoy. In the world today there is a common surfeit of violence. In the day of the Lord there was also a surfeit of violence. Government ad religious authorities commonly orchestrated mass social movements of violence and there were few realms life that was too far removed from the imminence of personal danger from human social violence at the interpersonal level.
We have no example of Jesus using violence at all in the Bible. In the one instance where he cursed a fig tree causing it to shortly thereafter wither and ‘bear no more fruit forever’ he was using that as a device for prophecy revealing that the temple priesthood era of the Jews was over.
Interpersonal violence today is a function of a society in one aspect of a dysfunctional mode. We may acknowledge the right for proximal self defense and yet regard plain aggression as a negation of humanity for-itself. If human reasoning and social democracy cannot prevail over unreasoning, wicked force the spiritual evolution of society is set back into that conformal bundle of physical and temporal phenomena we may regard as nihilist. Such nihilism is a perennial problem for human reason and existence noted by Our Lord as was as others formerly reaching as far back in history as the Iranian philosopher Zarathustra.
Our Lord was an example of perfect human social conduct and of course non-violence. Yet there will be an era ahead when conformal social bundles of behavior will no longer be tolerated by The Lord. The potter shall cast the broken and mal-adjusted forms of the faithless back into the field and the leader of violence, lies and murder into the pit.
Human experience with violence occurs with a conformal physical behavioral bundle grounded in tangent vectors of temporal doom and spiritual decay. On this second day of the New Year Christians should reflect a little upon the desirability of encouraging non-violent social relations, becoming intolerant of aggressive violence, considering how state violence such as the conflict in Afghanistan and Pakistan may be too deeply bound in general spiritual decay that leads to material poverty and national insecurity coincidently. When the inability to implement positive political courses overloads federal international relations policies with military solutions as sole remedies to economics and culture issues the evil and wickedness of violence snares the faithless further in its descent into darkness.
Jesus said in chapter 20 of Luke verse 17-19 “And he beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner? Whosever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken, but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder. And the chief priests and the scribes the same hour sought to lay hands on him; and they feared the people: for they perceived that he had spoken this parable against them.”
Jesus warned his society of the immanence of violence on countless occasions. Those of faith still should listen to the call of the Lord to quit the world of senseless violence one may regard as an imprimatur of conduct conformal to the bundled behaviors of human spiritual defeat.
It might be an interesting thing if statistical mechanics could plot the incidence of sin in America-real sin as the Bible describes explicitly and implicitly in order to write up a scalar field of where these things occur in space-time. Quantum cosmology uses such methods in string theory to develop geometrical values for all locations in space-time enabling a metric or units of spacing and frequency of various features of a field. With such a scalar field chart sin in America accurately in any given time period with the accuracy of quantum mechanical uncertainty and of course some of the same problems of observing just the position or speed of a particle or entangled particle pairs but not each simultaneously it might also become possible to chart the clumping, clusters and fluxes of sin’s scalar field and metric. Interpreting biblical prophecy quantitatively might be an added derivative result of a comprehensive statistical geometric analysis of American sin.
To return to the topic of negating the anti-humanism of violence so far as possible concurrent with a reduction of human disrespect for other living things and the ecology of the planet…Our hierarchical priesthoods may be leading the flock astray on tithing and sundry other social values.

If the nominal church hierarchical priesthood is wrong-collecting 3000% more tithes than they are entitled to if any (see the two hyperlinks above’, they may be playing right into the hands of sin themselves as active leaders in the practice of parsimony and such. Maybe they also are inclined to sign off on violence like crucifying God or warring for resources abroad with mercenaries for a piece of the action? In 2011 a reduction of anti-human violence would work to rectify a right relationship with God.
