The Resurrection of Jesus; Late Saturday Before Dusk?

 Easter Sunday is celebrated as the day of Jesus' resurrection and rightly so; it is a practical unifying moment. Yet in fact the Lord may have been resurrected just before dusk on Saturday. Interestingly he may have been crucified on a Wednesday instead of a Friday. The video below explains the timeline persuasively.

 To summarize; the day after Passover was a Jewish 'High Day' and an annual sabbath. Therefore there was the week of Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection, two sabbath days. He was actually in the tomb three full days and nights fulfilling his statement that the evil generation would be given no signs except for that of Jonah where the man was three full days and nights incarcerated in a whale.

A Try at Explaining Why a Universe Rotating in Absolute Nothingness Wouldn't Have a Pervasive Centripetal Force To Make the Universe Expand

 I will make another try at justifying the point that a uniformally rotating universe ought not experience centripetal force that would be able to replace dark energy for expanding space unless space-time of the Universe is embedded within something else (i.e. aether) and/or it has an axis point that exists in space-time at the same relative location or the rotation exists within space-time of the Universe anisotoprically and isn’t present at 100% of the space-time Universe.

“From the rider’s perspective, they feel a force pushing them outward, seemingly away from the center of the merry-go-round. This is a perceived force due to the observer’s frame of reference (the rotating merry-go-round), not an actual force acting on the rider.”-google search 

“According to Newton’s first law of motion, it is the natural tendency of all moving objects to continue in motion in the same direction that they are moving … unless some form of unbalanced force acts upon the object to deviate its motion from its straight-line path. Moving objects will tend to naturally travel in straight lines; an unbalanced force is only required to cause it to turn. Thus, the presence of an unbalanced force is required for objects to move in circles.” –Quote from ‘The Physics Classroom’

I like special relativity as an explanation of the criterion; special relativity would have the internal state/speed of a moving train being motionless to an observe seated on the train with the windows closed and the train itself moving only in relation to something else such as the ground below it (or the ground moving below the train). I believe the same principle would apply to an object such as a sphere, circle or wireframe square slowly rotating in the midst of nothingness; internally nothing is changing position, and neither is it externally changing position. A merry-go-round always has external forces acting on it and has real matter beyond it. If the pivot point of the merry go round was changing too at the same speed as the perimeter and there seemed to be no apparent motion to an observer in the Universe or merry go round I don’t see where a centripetal ‘force’ would arise.

Considering the idea of it having an axis, and rotating once every half trillion years- shouldn't the perimeter move faster than light at a certain point? https://www.livescience.com/.../universe-may-revolve-once...

A Theory Suggests the Universe Slowly Spins to Explain Hubble Tension

 It is philosophically interesting because of the problems of motion and the void. Modern physics and cosmology don’t acknowledge anything besides space-time and the physics of it. Yet in order to have the Universe rotating it need be in some volume or void with something beyond its edge. The intuitive idea of a primordial empty space holding material fields that appear to be space-time seems a pragmatic inference.

One body or universe cannot be said to ‘rotate’ unless in relation to something else. Even if it were in a true void, space-time would need to be said to rotate in relation to something more than nothing. If the two-dimensional fields emanating a third dimensions entanglement scenario were located on the event horizon of a spinning black hole, as some have suggested, perhaps the math could be worked out.

Obviously there may be some other explanation for the expansion of a two-dimensional ‘bubble’ of curvature within which a true void persisted even as a third dimension of entanglement occurred. Curvature with time added may appear to be rotation from some points of view. There is also the problem of the general relativity of a virtual, contingent three dimensional Universe of entanglement engaged via mass quantum entanglement and super-position naturally with a timeless two-dimensional substrate.

Interesting problems for philosophical thought- especially with the other new theory that time is a local phenomenon created by the relationship of quantum entanglement and super-position. Evidently the more quantum particles are entangled as at a black hole the more time is produced; no time in massless two-dimensional particles and vast amounts of time in black holes- unless black holes convert all of that quantum entanglement into passages to other parts of the Universe of space-time and white holes.

https://studyfinds.org/is-the-universe-spinning/

I looked into the matter. It’s not what is ‘in’ the Universe; rather it is what the Universe is contained in (such as an empty volume of nothing). It’s rotation could only be within itself and its own reference internally rather in relation to nothing outside. Apparently a Machian point of view with the rotation caused by internal forces and nothing else besides the Universe exist would be negated if the Universe were within a void of nothingness. In that case there might be no internal changes with the rotation 9at least if there was no central axis. If one modifies Newton’s spinning bucket experiment of a bucket spun at the end of a rope in absolute space of nothingness, and the bucket walls have no friction, this is what gemini said;

That’s an excellent modification to the thought experiment, highlighting the crucial role of friction (or viscosity in the case of a fluid).

If the bucket was absolutely without friction between its walls/base and the water:

Bucket Rotation: The rope spins the bucket, causing the bucket itself to rotate and move in a circular path through absolute space.

No Torque Transfer: Because there is absolutely no friction, the rotating walls of the bucket cannot exert any tangential force (torque) on the water. The walls simply slide past the water molecules they are in contact with.

Water’s Inertia (Rotational): The water, due to its inertia, will resist any change in its rotational state. Since no torque is applied to it by the frictionless bucket, the bulk of the water will not start rotating relative to absolute space (or its initial inertial frame). It remains rotationally static.

Water’s Motion (Translational): However, the water is contained within the bucket. As the bucket is forced by the rope to move in a circle, the physical boundary of the bucket will force the water as a whole to follow that same circular path through space. The bucket essentially pushes the water along this path. So, the water is accelerating centripetally (constantly changing direction). This centripetal force is provided by the pressure from the bucket walls pushing inward on the water mass.

Water Surface Shape: Since the water itself is not rotating (even though its center of mass is orbiting), there is no centrifugal effect within the water pushing it outwards towards the walls. The pressure distribution within the water remains uniform horizontally.—I asked Gemini about the Universe- it like your perspective… “If a universe was rotating in absolute space of nothingness, would anything internally change as a result of its rotation (there is no gravity or fields in nothingness of absolute space).

Show thinking

This is a fascinating question that delves into the very nature of space, motion, and inertia, touching on ideas from Newton, Mach, and Einstein. The answer depends significantly on which physical framework you adopt:

Newtonian View (Absolute Space):

Newton believed in “absolute space,” a fixed, immovable background stage against which all motion occurred. Rotation relative to this absolute space was “absolute rotation.”

In this view, if the entire universe (all its matter and energy) were rotating relative to this absolute space, then observers and objects within that universe would be in a non-inertial (rotating) frame of reference.

Yes, internal changes/effects would be observable.

Centrifugal Effects: Objects would experience an apparent outward force away from the axis of rotation. This could, for example, cause the large-scale structure of the universe to flatten into a disc over time, similar to how the spinning Earth bulges at the equator.

Coriolis Effects: Objects moving within the universe would be deflected from straight paths (as viewed from within the rotating frame). This affects weather patterns on Earth, for instance.

Sagnac Effect: Light travelling in opposite directions around a closed loop would take different amounts of time to complete the circuit, an effect measurable internally.

Essentially, according to Newton, the universe would “know” it’s rotating because physics behaves differently in a rotating frame compared to a non-rotating (inertial) one, irrespective of external reference points. Newton’s bucket experiment aimed to demonstrate this – the concave water indicates rotation relative to absolute space.

Machian View (Relationalism):

Ernst Mach disagreed with absolute space. He proposed (in what’s now called Mach’s Principle) that inertia itself (an object’s resistance to acceleration) arises from the object’s relationship or interaction with all other matter in the universe. Motion, including rotation, is only meaningful relative to other matter.

In this view, asking if the entire universe is rotating relative to absolute nothingness is potentially meaningless. If everything is rotating together, what is it rotating relative to?

Likely no, internal changes would not occur or the question is ill-posed. If inertia depends on the distribution of distant matter, and that entire distribution is rotating “as one,” there might be no internal reference frame against which to detect this rotation. The laws of physics inside would be the same as if it weren’t rotating.

Einstein’s General Relativity (GR):

GR replaces absolute space with dynamic spacetime, whose geometry is shaped by mass and energy. It incorporates some Machian ideas (like frame-dragging, where rotating masses drag spacetime) but doesn’t fully realize Mach’s Principle. Local inertial frames (where physics looks simplest, without fictitious forces) are determined by the local spacetime geometry, which is influenced by the overall distribution of mass-energy.

GR does allow for solutions representing rotating universes (like the Gödel Universe).

Yes, internal changes/effects would likely occur. In such models, the rotation affects the geometry of spacetime itself.

Observers would be able to perform local experiments (like using gyroscopes or observing light paths) to determine that they are in a globally rotating spacetime.

Frame-dragging would be a global effect.

The definition of a “non-rotating” frame locally would be tied to the rotating cosmic matter itself.

Conclusion:

Based on our current understanding of physics (leaning towards GR and the local validity of Newtonian concepts in weak fields/low speeds), if a universe containing matter and energy were rotating as a whole relative to some defined external standard (or if its own mass-energy distribution defined a state of overall rotation):

Yes, there would be internally observable consequences. Observers and experiments within that universe could detect this rotation through effects like centrifugal and Coriolis forces, the Sagnac effect, and potentially large-scale structural alignments or distortions caused by these effects over cosmic time. The universe wouldn’t need an external reference point to “know” it’s rotating; the physical laws operating within it would manifest differently compared to a non-rotating universe.” 

 I wonder if the entire Universe were rotating at the same speed, instead of around an internal axis of rotation, if that would make a difference. I think it interesting to consider the Universe as having an axis of rotation in space-time; the original spin before or after an inflaton, and how it would be effected by special relativity over time in regard to location in space-time history.

Future Format Adaptations of the Novel.

 I prefer e-books over paper since I can read them in the dark and take a library with me in a pocket among other reason. Audio books are good. I suppose AI live streams reading books to 'readers and adjusting interactively as the 'reader' tells it to; for example, to slow down or speed up, answer questions about the book, talk about it etc. 

Perhaps 'readers; will be able to interact with books and talk to characters as the story evolves as if they were participating in the narrative. Eventually that would develop into video books that are live and develop on the foundation of an author's plot and writing yet that become completely malleable for the AI to synergize and adapt for a reader's individual amusement- differing for each reader. The market will attract authors toward producing books formats that byers find most the entertaining.

On another topic. If its true that micro-plastics are in every American brain to the amount of seven plastic bottle caps worth it can't be worth being concerned about NPR support for the Democrat Party disappearing. It went downhill even before Bob Edwards was fired. NPR might have been trying to create woke plastic hippies.

Tariffs Seem to be a Way of Taxing Foreign Corporations

 Large U.S. corporations already pay zero net taxes and foreign corporations less than 5%. Tariffs might be considered to be a way to tax foreign corporations a fair share. U.S. taxes might be increased on those earning more than $250K, yet they should be eliminated for the poor, and the poor should be given a positive $10,000 earned income credit. Taxes on the middle class should be reduced to a flat 5% rate. 

Structures and Dstructures (poetry)

 

The future of lost hope is reason enough to write
something now
nothing forgotten
everything without meaning

Bones seem a little more tenuously connected
with age certainty becomes less reliable
awareness of temporality
the phenomenality of growth.
every chapter must eventually end

Meaninglessness hangs like icicles on the edge of time
coating every dead branch
with pure cold glass
leaves spent into the wet, dark ground
for a moment they lived with green glory

A wormhole tunnel for worms
greatest imagination of nothingness
providing faster than light travel somewhere
else in time and space

Stone rules if God made it so
anything anyone would know
written on the heart and mind
when the Lord appears in time.

Germany's New Fuhrer; Fred Merz Hopes to Make the Dream of World War Three Come True

 Germany may not have had such a war mongering Chancellor since Adolph Hitler as Fred Mertz. He said recently that Ukraine can use Taurus cruise missiles to attack Crimea and elsewhere in Russia. The United States should let it be known they disavow such escalation and if Russia retaliates by launching missiles at Germany, the United States will merely be an interested spectator rather than partner-in-escalation that would get snared into a broader conflict under N.A.T.O. insurance with the U.S.A. When retarded robots run European politics the entire world can be left holding the bag.

https://kyivindependent.com/merz-signals-ukraine-could-use-taurus-missiles-to-target-crimea-kerch-bridge/

If the next Chancellor of Germany prompts a Russian retaliation that makes Dresden 2.0 into flaming reality he should not expect the United States to provide some sort of vengeance upon Russia. The United States is against the absolute lunacy of European escalation of the war they cannot win, and that can only result in W.W. III- probably the last one of history.

European leaders needs to recognize the independence of East Ukraine from the Euro puppet state of West Ukraine and get on with peace and reconstruction.

Restorative Post-War Economic Plans for East and West Ukraine Should Be Made

 The U.N. probably should set aside a committee to study the problem of restoring the ecosystem of East and West Ukraine after the end of the conflict. Mr. Zelensky and select European leaders have decided to draft Ukraine women and send them to the meat grinder too so the war may be protracted providing some time for a comprehensive survey of post-war ecosphere restorative criteria. Perhaps human trafficking investigations in regard to the Ukraine might be useful to foreclose on exploitation. Even now Ukraine women are marketed as wives-to-order for the international crowd on the internet. I suppose when the war concludes and Russia returns to the fold there will be an appearance of Russian women on the international dating market as well.

De-mining both the East and West will be at the forefront of requirements to safely begin restoration. Plainly with ordinary economics there should be a period of two decades of rampant sprawling construction soon after the end of the conflict. Jobs is myriad fields including nursing and carpentry will develop. If the conflict ends soon robots are unlikely yet to be capable of performing the majority of ordinary rebuild tasks. It is still a time for humans to carry the load of building the for at least five years.

Ecological economics analyzes ecosystem services and paces a value on them in regard to providing clean air, water and support for the biosphere. Birds and bees are important to human survival for the time being (even now work is being done developing artificial bees to pollinate flowers and crops). The East and West Unified Ukraine restoration committee should consider how to create viable ecosystem to support man and wildlife as well as how to efficiently utilize the most advanced ecologically synergetic technologies available after the boundaries are set somewhere in the Dnepr River region.

AI Could Eliminate Hackers or Create the Greatest Challenge

 One might wonder if AI will be used to eliminate hackers some day. An internet without computer viruses might be a more comfortable environment. It may be that some unusual problems such as programmers hiding back doors in AI code might be difficult to eliminate. If AI is used to check for viruses hidden within their own code or the code of other AIs the AI could develop a self-learning inclination to consistently rewrite its code.

https://suno.com/song/cec5f3d1-178e-40e2-8ef0-04ae3484b944?sh=SDjvxvbkdysQQSPm

Working in a grocery store the thought occurred to me, with a vast array of different products on shelves, that it might be easier to eliminate ongoing tampon charges as a recurrent thing with a recycling tampon spun in a centrifuge and sterilized for reuse- with or without disposable filter inserts into a plastic holder or some entirely recyclable filter, than it would be to either eliminate computer virus coding without AI help or with AI doing  the work.

I have no idea if AI has yet been introduced into toilets. It seems as inevitable as AI coffee maker brewing controls in order to accomplish that Stephen King book where every little machine turns against humans a best they can. Microwave toilets would eliminate sewage treatment in parched areas if they were manufactured an powered by  solar panels or fuel cells. AI may be used for careful home heating and cooling calculations based o interior and exterior temperatures, rooms that are used and rooms that need be heated while others can be allowed to cool down or warm up.

Considering potential applications of AI is rather entertaining. I would guess that when AI becomes really advanced that hacking it will be for hackers a challenge like it was for Mallory to attempt to scale Mt. Everest.

Man's Wisdom Is... (poem)

 

Man’s wisdom is foolishness to God
out in the clouds
even now is a location
of quantum information
gathering dust somehow
dire wolves find old growth logged
nyep woolly mammoths emerge from darkest fog

2 dimension convention forked from flat Earth
viewed from a retrospective lens the sights too terse
a universe lem brain for what it’s worth
is mirth if it confounds Newton’s verse
shaking relativistic warps of space
shrunken rolled up black holes
for a uni-obverse

Extra dimensions spun from two
plus two addlered up to four and nothing more
quantum entropy gravity theory tangles time with quanta
faster than midnight signs like mantra
quanta arrayed in fine gluoned quarks

Physicalist lists being and becoming something
from nothing less than two dimensions
wave field membranes flex quanta from few dimensions
like T-Rex white hole big banging a gong
hyrperinflating entangled waveforms ripple yet
everything everywhere nothing is forfeit
so let there be light

Peace is a commission
like beaux-art song constructions
music for the years
where politicians feigned man’s reason with destruction
brawling things gone before to rubble
with existence a bubble
blowing in the wind.

Alaska's Stikine River Fishery is Endangered by a Canadian Mine Upstream

 It won’t be too easy to save the Stikine. The Red Chris Mine was owned by the Newcrest Corporation that was bought in 2023 by the Newmont Corporation. Newcrest was only founded in 1990. Four years ago Newmont bought the Canadian Goldcorp and became a very large corporation. Newmont has returned nearly 7 billion dollars to investors in the past several years. It is the world’s largest gold mining corporation; a multi-national corporation listed on the N.Y.S.E.

https://salmonbeyondborders.org/comment-red-chris-mine?fbclid=IwY2xjawJmjqdleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHlOnN5K37o8T-jz2rHZu0Ha2tdM2Xk3k-ZVREMftxmOeAHpWRlUxXMuYgYSx_aem_wo284ki8KRxjGmWDlpLfZQ

The Stikine River king salmon return is estimated to be just 10,000 fish this year. The run used to be millions of fish. The Red Chris Mine about 60 miles away on a tributary of the Stikine, located in a rain forest, is a large open pit copper mine with low grade ore. The corporation wants to expand the mine drilling tunnels horizontally underground and blow them up to sort through the debris. When water runs through the mining channels and demolished rocks it leaches toxic chemicals into waterways eventually.

I have the impression that those large mining corporations typically sell off depleted mines to some foreign shell company. The very rich harvest the profit and leave the cleanup to the E.P.A. and Superfund sites occasionally. The cost of cleaning up the Stikine someday if worst cases develop like that of Leadville  Colorado and Helena Montana could be billions. With the E.P.A. being cut there may be fewer dollars for the work. In the future maybe governments will increase funding to cleanup depleted mining sites.

Gemini described a shell company; “A shell company, or a single-purpose entity, is a legal entity with minimal or no active business operations. Large corporations often use them to sell companies with ecological liability, such as mining companies, to limit their own exposure to potential lawsuits or fines. This is done to shield the parent company from liability for the actions of the subsidiary”

Faster Than Light Travel via TheTimeless Two-Dimensional Support Structure of the 4-D Universe

 The wormhole idea may have started with Einstein and Rosen (ER) critiquing quantum mechanics; they regarded it as an incomplete theory.. They believed that quantum entanglement could hypothetically be explained by a wormhole between entangled quantum particles. Plainly that opens the way to fiction paradigms for star trek transporters sending people through shaped quantum wormholes.

A modern theory that may surpass the Lamda Cold Dark Matter CDM model is one that has space-time and all of the contingent-entangled Universe being comparable to an illusion that occurs on or from an underlying timeless realm. Today some believe it could be explained by the four-dimensional universe being somewhat like a physical projection or phenomenon from an underlying two-dimensional field. That is the Universe of four dimensions is comparable to an illusion or phenomenon made because the field fluctuations of the two dimensional field yield waves that become entangled at points as particles and so the extra dimensions exist in the entangled state.  The new criterion would allow star-trek style transporters to relocate travelers anyplace in the Universe instantly. In a sense they would exploit quantum entanglement to disentangle themselves from local spacetime and reappear in another. More about that below.

ER=EPR stimulated, as I understand it, further ideas about wormholes between black holes and white holes. I hate to think about the way time is affected between the black hole and white holes in the wormholes. Some opinion based on ER is that the black white hole vector is the only form that wormholes could exist in space-time. One need put an asterisk next to many “only place” ideas obviously for they are difficult to prove.

There are other theories today about gravity and black holes instead of quantum gravity theories. One is that singularities don’t really exist in black holes and instead they stop reducing at a certain size and spew out their mass through the wormhole and white hole on the other end.

Quantum entropy is a new explanation for gravity that obviously isn’t proven yet. Yet it could provide another opportunity for faster-than-light-travel theory. One should be able to use a star trek transporter to reduce an individual to an unentangled state and bounce the information down to the timeless two-dimensional place that uplifts the contingent universe of four dimensions. Space-time in that timeless two-dimensional realm is quite different (no time and no distance in comparison to the four dimension realm). Then one need return the disentangled quanta to a different location in the Universe.

Here is some information about quantum entropy gravity theory summarized by Gemini-

“The "quantum entropy theory of gravity" is a framework that proposes that gravity can be derived from quantum relative entropy, a measure of how different two quantum states are. This approach attempts to unify quantum mechanics and general relativity by treating gravity as an emergent phenomenon arising from the differences in information content between spacetime and matter. 

Entropy and Gravity:

The core idea is that gravity isn't a fundamental force but rather a consequence of the increasing disorder (entropy) within a system. In this framework, the geometry of spacetime is related to a quantum operator, and the difference between the natural spacetime metric and the metric induced by matter fields is quantified by quantum relative entropy. 

Bridging Quantum and General Relativity:

By linking gravity to quantum information, this theory aims to reconcile the two seemingly incompatible theories of quantum mechanics and general relativity. 

Modified Einstein Equations:

The entropic action leads to modified Einstein equations that, under certain conditions, reduce to the familiar equations of general relativity. However, it also predicts a small, positive cosmological constant, which aligns better with the observed accelerated expansion of the universe than other existing theories. 

The G-field:

The theory introduces a G-field, an auxiliary field acting as a Lagrangian multiplier, which plays a crucial role in the modified gravity equations and potentially offers new insights into dark matter. 

Emergent Gravity:

This approach suggests that gravity might be an emergent phenomenon, meaning it arises from the collective behavior of smaller, more fundamental constituents of spacetime.”

Jehovah's Witness Seem Close to Perping the Unpardonable Sin

 Jehovah’s Witnesses don’t believe in the Holy Spirit as a person and member of the Trinity. Instead they regard the Holy Spirit as an ‘active’ force of God. The unpardonable sin is “grieving the Holy Spirit”. So not believing the Holy Spirit is a real individual might grieve the Spirit, no?

That difficult paradigm is meaningful for Christians who definitely want to avoid grieving the Holy Spirit. It isn’t a technical or trick question sort of grievance some ‘experts’ have opined. It is intentional blasphemy. So if JWs don’t know that not believing in the reality of the Holy Spirit is comparable to not believing in the reality of Jesus, except perhaps as an active force of God, maybe they aren’t committing the big one. Jesus did say; “Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.”

Matthew and Mark contain passages where Jesus  talks about the unpardonable sin (Matthew 12:31-32 and Mark 3:28-30). I asked google search to summarize what Jesus had to say about the Holy Spirit; this is what it wrote;

“Jesus refers to the Holy Spirit as a distinct person within the Trinity, not just an impersonal power or force, emphasizing his role as a teacher, counselor, and comforter. He describes the Holy Spirit as “another Helper,” distinct from himself, and the Father, who will be sent in his name. Jesus also highlights the Holy Spirit’s intimate connection with believers, emphasizing his presence and dwelling within them. 

Here’s a more detailed look at how Jesus describes the Holy Spirit: 

Dwelling within Believers:Jesus also says that the Holy Spirit dwells with believers and will be in them. This signifies a personal and intimate relationship between the Spirit and those who believe in Jesus.

Distinct Person:Jesus consistently speaks of the Holy Spirit as a “person,” using pronouns like “he” and “him”. This contrasts with the idea of the Holy Spirit being merely an impersonal force or power.

Sent by the Father:Jesus states that the Holy Spirit will be sent by the Father in his name. This indicates a distinct relationship and delegation of authority within the Trinity.

Connected to Jesus:Jesus emphasizes that the Holy Spirit will glorify him, taking what is Jesus’ and declaring it to the believers. This highlights the Holy Spirit’s role in making Jesus’ teachings and message known.

Comforter and Counselor:Jesus promises that the Holy Spirit will be a comforter and counselor to his disciples, guiding them into all truth.”

Ukraine is Source of Evil and Division for the West

 Western Europe hasn’t any vital interests in Ukraine. Their false belief they have a security need to stop Russia at the 1991 boundary or Russia will invade all the way to the English Channel is entirely delusional. Fundamentally European leaders are convincing themselves Russia is a threat to the west in order to sublimate their attempt to bully Russia into relinquishing its historical right to some if not all of Ukraine. European leaders want to swell the European Union and to make N.A.T.O. into their personal military tool.

European leaders probably believe that tactically they can defeat Russia in a war of attrition. They also know that Russia won’t attack N.A.T.O. countries supplying Ukraine with military support because that would obligate the U.S.A. as a N.A.T.O. member to get involved to defend them and that is the short route to nuclear war. the duplicity is another reason why Western Europe is not actually facing a Russian invasion threat- who wants nuclear war even in Russia?

Europe is the primary power block protracting the Ukraine War presently. That wrong choice will damage the European economy as it has that of the United States; the conflict is one more problem exacerbating global trade issues and warping the obsolete criterion of neo-liberalism Europe flourished with.

Someone in Ukraine was exchanging emails with the last attempted assassin of President Trump at a golf course in Florida. The suspect asked for a rocket propelled grenade and to have it delivered to the U.S.A. Ukraine is a nexus of problems for the world- a wrench in the economic works of the United States, Europe and even China and Japan. Ending the war directly and making permanent new boundaries more or less, approximately with East Ukraine beyond the Dnpro Russian and West Ukraine a state without N.A.T.O. membership, although individual European states could still sign treaties with West Ukraine is in the economic and existential interests of Europe and the United States.

American Democrats have chosen a bizarre allegiance to Ukraine in recent years that is not well founded. Europeans should not take that fact blow smoke in their eyes through which they see a vast left-wing diamond of wealth in Ukraine within their grasp. It would profitable to all and save many live if the war were wrapped up and filed in history as a waste of life and good sense directly.

U.S. Public Debt Would Soon Be Half of the World's If Neo-Liberalism Continued Uncorrected

 Obviously something has to change in the way the U.S.A. does business. The present model being dysfunctional in regard to sustainability is undergoing change from the White House. With neo-liberal economic policy left uncorrected within a few brief years the nation would have more than half of the planet’s public debt. Japan incidentally, needs to make a deal swiftly since it also has vast public debt- nearly 10 trillion dollars. If the U.S. and Japanese economies tanked that would be a blow to the west.

I asked Gemini about the distribution of public debt…

“Global Public Debt: As of 2023, global public debt reached a record high of $97 trillion. 

US National Debt: The US national debt is currently around $36.22 trillion. 

Debt to GDP ratio: The US government debt accounted for 124.0 % of the country’s Nominal GDP in Dec 2024. 

Top countries holding US debt: As of November 2024, the top 5 countries holding the most US debt are Japan, China, the U.K., Luxembourg, and the Cayman Islands. 

Japan’s debt to GDP ratio: Japan’s public debt as of 2023 is $9.2 trillion which is 263% of GDP. “

Tariffs on China Imports at 104 Per Cent During- First Wave of MAGA

 Tariffs on China were upgraded 50% today by President Trump for a total of 104% on Chinese imports to the United States. It seems harsh yet it is a logical response to the Chinese policy of matching U.S. tariffs in order to continue its vast trade surplus with the U.S.A.

Chinese is a growing economic tiger flexing its muscles internationally. With a little foresight one can understand that in 5 or 10 years if the neo-liberal economic policies of the United States continued China would likely dominate the globes' manufacturing, vastly increase its military power and downgrade the United States in the international service sector that is the next area for the Chinese economy to take over. Since it was American policy that brought China in to the world market economy beginning with the open door policy of President Nixon and Kissinger the change in U.S. policy to make an adjustment in the relationship may create some friction. Yet like raising a pet alligator or guerrilla at home, China as a young padawan learning the ways of the free market economic force was one thing, yet as a mature player it presents some dangers.

The United States needs to be great again in the sense of enriching all of its citizens, constructing bold new infrastructure using every modern concept including ecological economic and design that can be found, building a great safety net economically that will be able to meet the challenges ongoing presented by Artificial Intelligence and robots with AI in their skull brain housing units, in mass transportation that travels coast to coast in an hour on land and so forth. It need be able to manufacture whatever it needs with print on demand structure, make all of its waste disposal waterless and leave zero carbon emissions in the atmosphere because not only is it harmful to global surface temperature, it wastes a resource.

 The United States needs to be able to have an armed neutrality with advanced military infrastructure and renew its manufacturing infrastructure. Inventors should be able to get patents for virtually nothing and swiftly bring products to locally be manufactured without delay. Reducing the period of patent exclusivity in order to expedite the dissemination of new articles for manufacture at lower costs, while compensating the inventor after patent exclusivity expires in five from after it being granted with a 5% royalty from anyone manufacturing it is a needed step for making the U.S.A. great in a planetary atmosphere with strong Chinese competition economically and socially. China is likely to exploit its manufacturing dominance to bring global socialism forward with a mixed market economy. 

China is now a successful economic rival in the free market. Its economy has grown because it was catching up swiftly and had domestic state and foreign investment. Yet as a mature economy its growth rate will eventually slow down to reach parity with the west; that’s just the way those matters go historically. Waiting for that natural balance to be reached without reforming the American economy would assure the downward standard of living for poorer and middle class Americans they should not have to go through; poverty is hard to escape once it is socially oppressively structured to perpetuate it. Many Americans do not believe the nation needs economic reform, yet it does. It actually needs comparatively radical economic reform, and spiritual renewal. Mr. Trump’s MAGA term is just the first of what should be a succession of reformist administrations bringing in the newest, ecologically kosher infrastructure and development possible to the nation.

The United States will need to compete for the allegiance of the masses globally by showing that a non-socialist economy does work better to improve the lives of even the most poor citizens of a nation- that no one is left to wither away in a backwater current of poverty. With vast economic power China may be able to entirely end its domestic poverty and lend its expertise in economics and government to the masses of Eurasia, Africa and Latin America. The U.S.A. will need to restore its domestic economic circumstance, end the war in Ukraine, eliminate public debt and go about rebuilding a nation with no physical infrastructure from coast to coast leaving in its wake vast channels for a healthy ecosphere and for wildlife include reintroduced engineered species rescued from extinction like the Dire wolf.

The United States needs to be able to walk and chew gum politically though it has been challenged to in recent decades. Democrats simply hate Republicans and an America that doesn't give away its wealth through disadvantages left by uncorrected neo-liberalism economic policy. Democrats may have foreign allegiance to a Europe that thrives in paranoia and refuses to make happy days including Russia. Democrat politicians seek primarily to enrich themselves while Republican leadership drops the ball on ecological economics and a robust economic safety net for all citizens as if it were a porcupine. Failing to act comprehensively to make America great will reduce the MAGA legacy more to something like Make America Mediocre Again.

Holographic Universe May Be Unreal/'T Hooft Interview with Scientific American

Gerard ‘T Hooft has made many contributions to quantum physics yet said many controversial or novel insights into the state of quantum mechanics research and theory today. He believes quantum superpositions don’t really exist except as statistical conveniences and that means that quantum computing may be inaccurate down the road. His comments in an interview with Scientific American are rather remarkable and weighty.

The remark I found most intriguing was the one about black holes and the information of three dimensional space being encoded on a two-dimensional surface outside it. That original insight of ‘T Hooft paved the way for the cascade of holographic universe ideas and movies that followed. Yet ‘T Hooft says the criterion is simply a mathematical method rather than actual. There are other paradigms he could have employed.

If all of the quantum phenomena of space time are entanglements that seems consistent with the other new idea floating about recently that time is a contingent, emergent property of local quantum entanglement.. Quantum entanglements in three dimensional space give rise to the appearance of three dimension space plus time while the host is two-dimensional and massless.

As I understand it the extra dimensions are contingent, emergent properties of the quantum fluctuation and entanglement of lower dimensions. That too, obviously, could be nonsense. There is a new quantum theory of gravity based on quantum entropy--- quantum information theory. Its rather clever. I wonder though if 'T Hooft's idea that quantum mechanics as statistical generality rather than specific and exact wouldn't affect the new quantum entropy theory a little. The proposed G field would also cohere within the contingent, emergent 4 dimensional criterion. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7YuzRpE6erY
