Integrated Concepts of The One God & Trans-finite Series

I wanted to write a post on the problem of atheism (and for some conversely theism). Atheism requires a proof comprehensively regarding reality of the non-existence of God, and that cannot be done any more than one can express all possible numbers, geometries and possible maths in some kind of order of non-order or non-cardinality.

One wonders about the relationship of mathematics to physics and expressions of the real construction of the Universe(s) and of what is the progenitor of Universes and temporality. The idea that time can be all wrapped up inside the Planck epoch with space, and that perhaps space has all potential energy then is fascinating, yet one believes that the relationship of mathematic's all-potential-maths that exist as pluralist pieces of an infinite whole or One isn't restricted to any finite context such a a very tiny bubble of space smaller than the Planck length.

As I believe God is a non-locality, so perhaps might one regard the One truly infinite mathematical series as non-local in character.

Logical sets comprising a theoretical ontology are implicity incapable of providing comprehensive evidence for atheism. Logical sets of trans-finite concepts are transfonly in relation to other infinite sets, none of which can be shown to contain all others including itself. Atheism would need to provide exhaustive data representation accurately regarding all Universal, trans-temporal and pre-Universal, before the big inflation and before any possible inflation or virtual loop, before anything ever was until the end of anything that could ever be (because of Wheeler's retro-causaliity idea) ways wherein God might exist to offer even minimal credibility (and it hasn't). Atheists to attain even a shred of credibility-for-others would need to demonstrate that human logic is capable of grasping the idea of God for-himself and negate that idea.

In the Bible the prophet Moses was allowed a small glimpse of the glory of God passing before him before he died. It  isn't evident that even human philosophers are able to comprehend the nature of God or even of one Universe, as if it were a dot in infinite non-space less significant than a period at the end of a sentence.

Without such a logical set of inferences of the absolute trans-finite set that captures all sets and ideas that might be represented in sets, no reasoning about the non-existence of God could be anything more than conditional, contingent and wrong. Atheism cannot be logically proven except as an existential belief for itself held by an individual in error.

Infinite mathematical series of numbers are of much interest to philosophically inclined people. Do they really exist and what value are they since it is possible only to use a finite portion?

Gregory Cantor developed the idea of trans-infinite numbers. That means that not all infinite series are created equal, though we may be biased to believe that all truly infinite series must be eternal since if they are simply in progress of increase they are not really infinite with some sort of beginning and present terminus even if only for a fraction of an instant of time.

The series of natural numbers (positive integers) are finite in one direction; to the right, and I believe that Cantor would regard that as a trans-infinite series. What does that mean? In regard to the infinite set between the numbers 2 and 3 for example where smaller and smaller rational numbers can be expressed in fractions, the natural numbers breezes beyond it.

Infinite number series though seem to be limited and finite in some respect simply because they are not a set of all sets of any kind of number that can be represented. Even number series do not include odd numbers, and positive numbers don't include negative numbers, in fact any series of numbers or geometry is a finite slice of the infinite continuum of numbers in all forms and size.

One of the interesting characteristics of infinite sets of rational numbers  is that they seem to have the potential for being implictly contradictory in time as they are expressed. Because they cannot seemingly exist a priori in infinite numbers without continuing to diminish in proportionate size retroactively from the beginning, with a kind of reverse causality, they might need to exist just in a finite temporaly context.

Numbers seem be nominal finite, proportional sets of true infinity encompassing all directions, dimensions, ordinal and cardinal sets and so forth that is inexpressible. The relationship of that infinity non-contingent One to the expression of forms in the 'real world' studied by physicists makes one wonder of the expressions of possible cosmologies in space-time by The One.

The experience of a finite element of space-time or a given Universe is a provision of from the realm of Absolute Spirit evidently, at least as a point of faith and logical inference.

P.S.

If one defines 'ontology' as a weltanshuung, or world view of explanation of existence comprehensively, then an ontology today seems to be conditional since their are so many of them (although there is only supposed to be one true ontology). Deontology in philosophical history meant 'duty' as one might infer from ontology what one's duty's were.


W.V.O. Quine adapted the use of the word 'ontology' to linguistic sets and logical parameters as if it were a modal universe. In constructing a theoretical ontology I suppose one can make up a set of all valid ideas, put them in a set of words that can be tested for logical validity and then call it an ontology. 


One might find that sort of thing in contemporary cosmology with the requirement  implicitly that the math adds up for the values and constants integrated with observable facts etc.


In modal logic one may construct a 'universe' with theoretical values that are self-consistent even if not at all like the 'real world'. Some computer programs comprise a kind of example of modal logic-for instance gaming worlds where a left turn for an avatar walking down a street always results in transporting to another galaxy in a slum before this universe existed.


Trans-finite series were the result of Georg Cantor's working with irrational numbers and comparing the scale of one set of  an infinite series to another. Some infinities were thought to be larger than others.


There were thought to be two kinds of infinite number series-those with irrational numbers than can be made infinitely smaller incrementally such as between the numbers 4 and five, and those oars-in-the-water number series such as positive integers that were believed to be able to increase forever. For that trans-infinite series the puny infinity between 4 and 5 would be laughable I suppose.


Trans-finite series though do seem to be just another way of adding prior numbers to a next one in a series with a certain value, and of course they all seem in a way to be the same number representing an arbitrary concept of always being able to add one more to the end of an infinite line in one or both directions. Trans-finite numbers do not seem to be as impressive or actual as one initially thinks they might unfortunately. They exist in theory yet not in the real Universe, and are representative of quantity and location within a given relativistic frame of reference if one cares to associate the cleverness of number systems with spatio-temporal coordinates.

Atheism Hasn't Got a Valid Logical Foundation

Logical sets comprising a theoretical ontology are implicity incapable of providing comprehensive evidence for atheism. Logical sets of trans-infinite concepts are trans-infinite only in relation to other infinite sets none of which can be shown to contain all others including itself.

Why the U.S.A. Has Become a Slum Economy

The United States has become a slum economy since the end of the cold war, with the people experiencing the slump of center of effort of national economy development (it has moved much closer to China) being prevalently the poor and the middle class.

At the close of the Clinton administration U.S. public debt was less than six trillion dollars. At the end of the Bush II administration the debt was a little more than ten trillion and now in the last of the first term of the Obama administration public debt has reached nearly 16 trillion dollars. Public debt eventually requires cuts in public spending in order to pay interest on the debt and has many other dangers.

The Clinton administration got the slum rolling with deregulation of finance and flood of illegal alien workers and flimsy, pyramid scheme resembling finances for banking and commodified home mortgages simultaneous with outsourcing of economic renewal to China. The Bush II administration extended and increased the bad financial footing after 9-11 with the military spending of two protracted wars and large federal deficits. When the Banking and mortgage crash occurred in 2007-2008 the new U.S.A. as a slum emerged.

Five trillion dollars of new public debt after Wall Street's crash and automobile bailouts, the slum footing of the economy hasn't changed. The rich are getting richer and the middle class employed isn’t too bad off while the poor and unemployed have increased their numbers becoming a permanent and separate domestic underclass. Radical economic reform of free enterprise to reign in corporate networking advantages might be welcome by individuals seeking a restoration of individual entrepreneurial opportunity.

China is the plum for The Street and globalists and the United States is a slum second rated in economic development plans. The Street is not concerned about profit for the people of the United States nor national economic renewal; they are concerned with making a profit for shareholders. The U.S. Government, and especially the President of the United States is supposed to be setting economic parameters of advantage to the people and not stand idly by as President Obama waiting for The Street to begin employing Americans in good paying jobs and just deficit spending to in the meanwhile.

With the aloof prosperous investors in China and elsewhere overseas agitating perennially for tax cuts and the Democrat Party led by comfortable millionaires without any concept of economic reform (only increasing taxes on the rich minority but not on the middle class) there are few immediate, evident prospects for ending the inertia of a slumping nation. Basic American reforms to limit the scale of corporations and collectives is not on the political radar screen, and politicians and business people seem to live in a fantasy world regarding the decline of the world environment, basically ignoring it.

The Malvinas Should Be Peacefully Returned to Argentina

Argentina should be given its Malvinas Islands back from British imperialists in accord with the Monroe doctrine of 1823 that provided reproof for the evil of colonialism in the western hemisphere by European imperial powers. 

The Malvinas, a.k.a. 'Falklands' islands have been settled by five different nations. The Malvinas, a.k.a. 'Falklands' islands have been settled by five different nations over the course of history. British naval prowess induced that nation to continue efforts to dominate the Malvinas with force. Because of the first and second world war alliance the British were allowed to sneak back in, and of course they were more helpful that Argentines in the cold war era at anti-Soviet activity in the South Atlantic. Payment for military support by sacrificing the liberty of an Argentine island group to imperialism should not be a part of U.S. history however.

The British were one of the powers that let its subjects dwell upon the Malvinas, yet the British settlers vacated entirely after 1774. The Spaniards did not flee until 1811.

Later in 1820 and again in 1829 some British and Argentine privateers dwelt again on the Malvinas and asked protection from Britain and Argentina. The privateers under one Luis Vernet were given reproof by a U.S. Naval vessel-the U.S.S. Lexington.

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

The islands were declared free from all Government by the U.S.A. and the privateers were arrested and released in Montevideo. This was in accord with the principles of the Monroe Doctrine and self-determination for free people of the western hemisphere throwing off the shackles of exploitative globalist rulers.

Efforts by colonialist powers to interfere in the affairs of the western hemisphere were to be viewed as acts of aggression. That included the Malvinas Islands.

European Migration to America (HaplogroupX) 30-20,000 B.C. With Siberian Immigration?

The topic is controversial; did Europeans reach North America before the first migrants across the Bering Sea land bridge, with it, comprise a late wave or is the theory all horse puckey? Recent D.N.A. researches have found evidence of European population genes in some American Indians, or have they?

Haplogroup X and its two population groups after dispersion 30,000 years ago are one possible source of European genes in some American Indian tribes genetic history. Some would view that opinion as politically moderate since the Siberian Altaians are migrants from Europe long ago. Algonquinians have as much as 25% mDNA types, Navaho 7% and Yakimas 5%. The Cherokee may have some of the wandering European genetic compliment-even Elizabeth Warren with her 1/32nd% Cherokee ancestry.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haplogroup_X_(mtDNA)

This research is of course all fascinating. One looks at the flowchart for the history of human mitochondrial D.N.A. and is astounded. Its almost as good as watching a superbowl, nearly.

The Druze have the highest percent of Haplogroup X in their mitochondrial D.N.A.

Haplogroup X diverged from Haplogroup N about 30,000 years and ago and not long after that, in 21,000 B.C. when glaciation was at its peak the X group wandered around the Mediterrainian and Europe and evidently to Siberia. It is easy to guess that some of those people also took the Berengian land bridge route to America. So the question arises; how European were those SIberian Altaians about 20,000 years ago and did they sunburn easily?

An alternative Soultrean hypothesis exists postulating that group X moved by boat along the edge of the ice about 18,000 B.C. to America. That seems reasonable too, for it was an early route for Albs also originally from the Mediterrainian Sea islands perhaps.

Will U.S. Public at the End of Another Obama Term Reach $30 Trillion

The Obama administration could have let the Bush tax cuts expire in Dec. 2010 and let the budget return to balance in 2012. It might have recovered some middle class tax cuts from a position of strength through congressional negotiations. It could have given some concessions to Republicans for cuts in government spending, it chose not to. The Obama team set the agenda for a future era of forced smaller government when the reality of vast public debt sets in.

The U.S. public debt is about 15 trillion 700 billion dollars presently and will hit 16 trillion before the end of this year. If President Obama were to be re-elected the public debt by the end of a second term might reach 25 or 30 trillion dollars. Then one might guess Democratic leadership would decide to hand the ball off to Republicans and let them fix it.

A better policy would be to elect Mitt Romney in November and hope he can not only cut federal spending, but reform and improve the quality of federal spending as well. In bureaucracies a buck slip is an inter-office paper routing order and a customary policy on difficult work is to pass along the paper with a buck slip moving it somewhere else. Passing the buck is the sine qua non of modern government.

It is obviously the poor, the environment, American independence and individual free enterprise that will suffer most from an epoch of vast public debt,huge interest payments, reliance on foreign products producers and an effete globalist financial sector employing 30% Americans.

Debt increases and wealth concentrates as the U.S.A.moves down toward the upper tier of the second world over time. While U.S. domestic economic growth is only about 2% annually continuing reliance on the Reaganomic idea of increasing economic growth  and tax revenues faster than public debt increase is apparently a daft idea for the President to keep.

The President appears to have no interest in Federal economic leadership to reform free enterprise and corporate scale enabling better individual competition against established corporate collectives and networks-even on the Internet. The President seems to want to rely upon Wall Street to create employment and form rational macro-economic policy when of course the Street  is a global phenomena concerned about profit and unconcerned with U.S. public debt except incidentally. In the meantime he is contented on increasing public debt for he may at some point believe the government can counterfeit its own currency and by up its own debt without damage to U.S. economic interests. 

It is still possible that the dollar may crash in value with a mass sell off of foreign held reserves.

Europeans tend toward being a godless political ensemble these decades without over-much concern for anything perhaps as the result of that century of wars and mass killings. One can look back toward the 19th century when civilization in Europe was more like today's American society and global economic power policy with economic exploitation of anyone or everyone not-an essential concern.

In the 19th century royalty was endangered and aristocracy in decline. Free enterprisers and middle class capitalism were on the rise without much consumer protection. Social classes were in competition and transition and individual with militarism too in the mix stimulated change along with bad social health and pervasive economic insecurity concurrent with expansion and environmental habitat destruction; what a time!

Today's global exploiters are organizing into class collectives with corporate and government networked relationships. While the immorality ethos is personalized through micro-moral decay the collectives simply co-opt individualism empirically.

Corporatism is still corporatism even if it's in the form of big corporations and small governments or of big governments and tamed corporations. A neo-socialist state with corporate leadership emerges in either case.

Untreatable Gonorrhea from Asia is increasing in the U.S.A. The Clap is the second most common infectious disease among Americans with more than 600,000 new cases each year. The untreatable version may comprise as much as 1.4% of the new cases and seems on the rise. The Obama administration economic policy shares phenomenal attributes with Gonorrhea finding the economic malaise untreatable. with conventional and measures.

Not only must the economy be reformed so the poor are employed in realistically quality standard of living providing positions, the entire economy needs to be moved toward a sustainable new foundation ecologically-and that is a tremendous challenge resisted by human beings that believe their is no end of the Earth as an inert object in itself supporting the stage of human technical increase.

Myriad global problems including that of the economy are a distraction from the vital economic and economic reform challenges disregarded by U.S. administrations. The Obama administration may cite its foreign military policy record of letting Iran and North Korean nuclear weapons programs continue, or assure Americans that India's new missile able to launch on Beijing bring stability to Boston and Washington D.C. Those are however only the tip of the iceberg of global issues that should be of secondary importance to the economic security of the poor in the United States.

Moslem Turnout May Be Key to Sunday's Presidential Election

France's next President may be determined by how many French Muslims get out to vote against the centrist candidate and incumbent Nicolas Sarkozy. The right wing candidate Marine Le Pen took 18% of the vote in the primary, so Sarkozy is courting the right to enable him to overcome the leading socialist candidate Francois Hollande.

Muslim immigration to Europe displacing a formerly Christian culture is a perennial political issue. 2011's Norwegian bombing and shootings by the right wing youth Anders Behring Breivik higlighted the point of resistance to lax immigration policy, and that is a paradox.

For the Muslims presence is an inherent conservativism on morality for-itself that runs counter to the trend of European and American moral decay. When the right opposes Muslim immigration it opposes reinforcement for morally conservative positions. It is the left that support Muslim immigration that would extirminate their moral outlook if possible, and the right that oppose their co-moralists even if not co-religionists.

Europeans tend toward being a godless political ensemble these decades without over-much concern for anything perhaps as the result of that century of wars and mass killings. One can look back toward the 19th century when civilization in Europe was more like today's American society and global economic power policy with economic exploitation of anyone or everyone not-an essential concern.

Corporatism is still corporatism even if it's in the form of big corporations and small governments or of big governments and tamed corporations. A neo-socialist state with corporate leadership emerges in either case.

While the Obama administration could have let the Bush tax cuts expire in Dec. 2010 and let the budget balance giving back through congressional negotiations some tax cuts for the middle class and reductions in government spending, it chose not to. The Obama team set the agenda for a future with smaller government with more debt and concentrated wealth as the U.S.A.moves toward the upper tier of the second world over time.

The French will be alright short of nuclear or biological depopulation. Muslim immigrants might help them to get a hold on the slippery slope of absolute moral decay and remain out of the pit of doom. Norway's Breivik paradoxically opted to oppose the moral force against decay of Norwegian society-understandably since their must be many nostalgic for the good old days of yore when one could go a vi-king with a long ship abroad without concern for one's homeland security. Racial conservatism is difficult to defend these days-especially in the absence of moral conservatism. France may gets its share of Wahhabists and the Salafi if the socialists can get their man Hollande in to office.

On Philosophical Use of Words and Accuracy in Meanings

Philosophical concerns are more than problems. Language enables things to be said about anything. Perfection in language formation may be grammatically possible however meanings and referent object content can be in error as may additional constructions.

"Any honest intellectual would agree that the green cheese of the moon will fall to the Earth thus feeding us all' is amusing yet has some obvious difficulties with veracity for most circumstances of use.

I believe that logical positivism brought some efforts to limit language to objectivive, scientific criteria, however Quine's 'The Two Dogmas of Empiricism' brought an end to that. 'Ontological Relativism' brought out the idea of lexicons for ontology with dedicated meanings. For example, the vocabulary of the home builder ontology is not the same as that of the government bureaucrat ontology, nor that of a non-academic philosopher. The meanings and reference ontology of Dawkinian atheists of a bio-evolutionary orientation is not that of philosophically minded theists; they tend to talk past one another. One must clarify one's word lexicon and consider what users will share its meanings for various projects. Words are a kind of address for meanings.

Plotinus believed that The One had no need for questions because omniscient Being is not uncertain about anything, yet philosophically minded people are not omniscient and have questions about Universe and etc that are not answered satisfactorily.

One might conjecture that the problem with science and cosmology is that the formulations and equations are faulty in a way comparable to that of philosophical problems, and certainly perfect formulations of questions understood well would leave no problems unless new ones were conceived, yet that next Einstein ++ upgrade is late in arriving to provide the correct equations for absolutely everything that might be thought of meaningfully in science and cosmology. 

Sarah Palin Considered for the Presidential Menu?

At the recent annual media roast President Obama trotted out his dog-eat-dog sense of humor with a joke about Sarah Palin and pit bulls. Evidently in President Obama's youth he was an eater of dogs in Indonesia. He remarked that Sarah Palin had recently returned to 'the game' by hosting the Today Show. That T.V. appearance evidently made her fair game for the President's dinner jokes therefore, so he asked 'What's the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull? The pit bull is delicious.

Sarah Palin  should definitely not bring barbecue sauce to any bi-partisan dinners where democrats comprise a majority.

Sixteen Christians Slaughtered at Church in Kano, Nigeria

It is difficult to have a peaceful, contempletive Church meeting when terrorists arrive to toss grenades about and shoot fleeing worshippers. Plainly the Nigerian Government of that predominantly Muslim nation hasn't the capability of defending Christians from organized persecution adequately to support a freedom of religion and free speech social ecosystem. Neither has President Obama shown much interest about the well being of his ethnic kindred that are Christians in Nigeria (even if he is of a Zulu origin).

The U.S. Secret service when not whoring in Columbia or elsewhere have the ability to share some kind of defense technology experience if directed by the President, for others such as Nigerian Christians. There ought to be some sort of a general terrorist screening door checking tech package that would be low enough in cost and effective enough to function at least for large gatherings of Christians for Sunday worship services without being intrusive.

Technology isn't the answer to everything of course, yet it is helpful to have low-cost discrete explosive and weapons detection capabilities to filter out gross attack mode ensembles such as might be hidden by Boko Haram cadre under a thobe, robe or trenchcoat. The President should have the wayward Secret Service develop on off-the-shelf Christian security tech package for Nigeria and other close-to-the-Moslem-terrorist-world worshippers as part of their punishment and correction for their recent unchapparoned behavior with the ladies of the night of Columbia. perhaps installing those systems (portable) in Nigeria would make amends a little for the disrespect to U.S. taxpayers the party guys of the Secret Service have demonstrated for goodness-knows how long.

Sharing pragmatic freedom from terrorism for Christian worshippers is an obvious role for any righteous government to fulfill. The U.S. Government should make sure that the 666 sign that in the Latin alphabet starts with DC does not represent the three branch of government.  President Obama should provide direct assistance to Nigerian Christian Church security and perhaps ask a meeting of  international Christian security leaders to confer and design an ad hoc defense capability reinforcement for anyone interested.

The Plank epoch and The One

Philosophical areas of the unknown still exist. One such area shared with cosmology is the Plank epoch in the first 10^-43rd power of the history of the Universe. Christians have faith in the Person of the Trinity rather than in a given cosmological theory of which there is a new and true one several times a year. Some have said that not all tautologies are invalid. Self-standing concept paradigms may be rare yet God as a self-standing Being cannot depend upon His creations to assure Him of his existence nor even rely upon them to 'prove' it.. From a given neo-Platonist point of view God has no need to ask questions because He has the answers already. It is a mystery why anything exists yet it is also not. A Divine Creator is creative infinitely.

The problem of solipsism has been gone over a lot, as has Bishop Berkley's paradigm of idea-ism. There was much philosophical research into the field of what is perceptible to mind and what qualities exist in nature-I won't repeat much of that here.



With Quine's notion from 'Ontological Relativity' that self-consistent lexicons (and associated concept meanings) are the way things are, it is useful to not attempt to annihilate parallel lexicons and consolidate them within a grand unified lexicon (especially of science). So much meaning would be lost along with the concepts for human use and thought in that process of developing a universal vocabulary of logical positivism.



Obviously scientific work has generally not pursued spiritual concerns, and for all I know it has not developed a subset of definitions of the meaning of spiritual. One might look to theologians for that perhaps.



Scientists might tend to regard spirit as a kind of substance if it exists and then proceed to test for that as something that should exist adjacent to neutrinos and other no or very low mass particles-or at least as a spiritual membrane or monad. Yet spirit can also simply mean the phenomena of mind and life of a human being-its complete history and self-awareness.



In that context spiritual affairs are of more important than quantum mechanics. A Christian might infer that God as a spiritual being is of far more, and perhaps entirely separate from any sort of quantum mechanical differentiation of essence. That is, God as a monism isn't the sum of a plurality of parts or attributes.


Physicists work on developing a unified field theory or basic description of the foundation of the natural Universe. Christians have the faith that God is the basic principle and Author of reality regardless of the proximal manifestation of a given Universe or percepts of its content. Obviously a sub-routine cannot comprehend the entire program generally, of which it is a part. In fact a computer program can be written that writes new sub-routines as a part of its programming (a dangerous sort of thing if combined with robotics), perhaps comparable to a human being, and even so it cannot comprehend the entire program of which it is a part if that program is very sophisticated.


Such a computer program that could achieve self-comprehension would become identical with itself, for-itself achieving little or nothing in writing new subroutines that would differentiate it from itself. Such differentiation or isolation of 'galaxies' from the Universal program would produce interference, turbulence and even chaos. If the differentiation were early enough in the history of the program then the horizon problem common to cosmological theorists would arise.


For one must wonder if the inflaton or VSL paradigms developed to explain the expansion of the Universe such that the cosmic microwave background indicates that there is little differentiation in the mass structure of the Universe at an early stage could be transcended by any kind of faster-than-light universally instantaneous communication systems superior to the local programming instructions of the galaxies of parts when they expanded far beyond range of sub-luminal communication.


For the Plank era it isn't known what energy values or structure prevailed. It is a cloud of unknowing as it were. Godel's incompleteness theorem seems to work with the reversability of cosmology applicable at either end of a finite series of formulas modeling the structure of the history of the Universe.


One of the authors of the VSL theory provided revised equation for Einstein's E=mc²... Ep in the equation is the Planck energy.

E= mc²

1 + mc²

Ep

I will rewrite the equation since I can't get the editor to line it up correctly...

E= mc²/1 + mc²/Ep


Christians can wonder about a Spiritual Author of reality and of all potential histories such as Plotinus conjectured about (The One) whom is omnipotent and omniscient without need for actualization or extension into a Universe with forms and alas broken forms.

ALaska Legislature Drops Tax Cut & Gas Pipeline Bills

Governor Parnell of Alaska has tossed out of the special legislative session the prime bill (to cut taxes on oil corporations about two billion dollars) that was the object of the clave of legislators. Since they had already flunked on passing a bill to get a North Slope to Cook Inlet gas pipeline stimulus bill passed, they should take that up and continue work that the legislature has tried to get done since at least 1979 (getting a gas pipeline stimulus bill passed).


There were contracts to sell Cook Inlet natural gas to Japan in the late 1970s well supported with sound logistics reasoning. Today that hasn't changed with the Persian Gulf being twice the distance to Japan and gas more costly. The state legislature should just get it done since there is quite a delay in completing the project. With the prospects for a fuel cell energy powered economy something that can't work politically here, natural gas exports to Japan seem the best bet for getting the claws of the oil corporations to release their hold a little upon the state budget.

If Space Were Made of Individual, Discrete Units

The idea of space has been written of by physicists in recent years with new quantafied styles moving beyond Minkowski and Kaluza-Klein criteria, so I thought I would add some non-scientific thoughts of my own on the topic.

 Space has been hypothesized to inflate faster than light briefly in the first fraction of a second of the lifetime of the Universe (a convenient conditional truth time indeed because time is a reciprocal of mass and hence faster than light particles might have had no-time or less and got much expansion done with characteristic voodoo-era super-physics to draw out space-time from a tiny, singular start in no time at all), yet there are more modest ideas about the nature of space and time, such that space is somehow a contiguous yet different phase of whatever energy or mass are-so that there is actually only one substance. Space could be like the air in a soufflé with ‘membranes forming boundaries with highest-energy concentrates-yet of course space might not be like that at all.

Space quanta may be scalable in size. Perhaps they were packed in along with mass and energy in the early universe, although empty nor without content. Maybe they were finite in number in the beginning (perhaps mass and energy are too), and so even if they expand there may be a limit to the increase of overall space contingent on the ability of individual quanta to increase in size.

 Space quanta might be able to expand only in one direction and perhaps remain fixed at that size. Space quanta could be localized dimensional content with or without mass or energy quanta tied in to its topical dimensions.  One wonders if energy or mass is transferred to the space dimensions without creating mass, but instead giving space quanta surface tension or energy for increasing the scale of dimensions-that might have some sort of force associated with their composition.

In spite of the assumptions of space increasing forever or collapsing into a big crunch or a phase transition to restart, it would be interesting if space simply achieved its maximum size one day and suddenly stopped like a running dog stopped abruptly upon reaching the end of its rope. Perhaps the inertial mass of the Universe would create chaos amidst the space Universe and turbulent conditions forming mass space-time structure chaotic reshuffling.

Free Expression of Religious Ideas, Corporatism and the Late Soviet State

Free expression of an apposite or opposite opinion exclusive of ad hominems hardly shoves Rama down a throat. In the late Soviet Union individuals were not permitted to express unscreened or uncensored opinions. Committees reviewed even Solzhenitsyn's writings and he had only one book published in that country and it was swiftly withdrawn. You should read the official transcripts for that committee review of Solshzenitsyn's 'The Cancer Ward'. I am a little concerned that corporatism and its control of the www. may duplicate that process de facto.

There is a common antipathetic attitude shared by some of the unsaved regarding the expression of ideas provided by God via Holy scripture. It is not necessary to first accept the erroneous beliefs or points of view of foes of the veracity of scripture before expressing one's own correct ideas.

Hannah Arendt's treatise 'The Banality of Evil' captured some of the implict fault of original sin expressed in the person of Adolph Eichman. Humans tend to cluster in large organizations and reinforce attitudes with use-truths. That characteristic is expressed in anti-environmentalism as well as the selection of many pragmatic homosexuals and abortionists to oppose phenomenal organized moral position antipathetic to the Sodom ande Gommorah way of life. Sure one may discover social moral relativism in select sectarian organizations historically too. When humans with original sin organize the organization cannot purge itself of that characteristic even if it is a religious organization.

It is lucky for us that God saw fit to let a crusade sack Constantinople and enable the Ottoman to finish off the rump state of the Eastern Roman Empire in the 15th century before Columbus discovered America, otherwise their might still be a contiguous New Roman Empire in the western hemisphere-what a fine design though human beings with free will made it allso bloody here and there.

Immanuel Kant urged that people think for themselves and was critical of authorities and individuals that did not do that. It is quite possible to sort through ideas for-oneself and arrive at the conclusion that the Bible is true and that the momentous choice that people have to believe or not is as well.

It isn't a new thing; FrederickSchleilermacher wrote a book called 'On Religion and It's Cultured Despisers', that title is perennially appropriate for the new scientific and cultural opinions against Jesus Christ.

Sect. Rice; Mitt Romney's Secret Weapon

If Mitt Romney is down in the polls at convention time, it may sway his choice of asking former Sect. Rice to run as the GOP Vice-Presidential candidate. She would bring the winning edge, and might somehow be persuaded to run.

Media swags have said that Rice's association with the former Bush administration would dissuade some voters from supporting the ticket, yet even minimal analysis tosses that aside as having substance: Republican voters will vote for anyone besides Obama (ABO), and women voters including blacks will toss Barrack Obama aside like last years clothing.

Secretary Rice does have that persuasive I.Q. and lots of experience. We believe she is well capable of serving in the office of Vice President better than V.P. Biden, if she would leave her post as Sect. of Stanford Univ.

'Faster Than the Speed of Light'

I enjoyed reading this book by one of the inventors of VSL (Variable Speed of Light) Theory. The author, João Magueijo, has tossed in much amusing commentary on his time in England, the U.S.A., Portugal and Australia while developing the theory in the late 1990s and early part of this milennium as well as the effort to get in published. The idea that the speed of light might change is a somewhat heretical notion to the traditional physics community since Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity became the standard model.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jo%C3%A3o_Magueijo

VSL theory as presented is available in many models and colors, yet they seem to have the speed of light being different in just the first 10 the the 43rd power of the time of the existence of the expansion of the Universe (a small fraction of a second). Light could have had a different, faster speed then in relation to space because it may have traveled a straighter course through the dimensions of space, so actually it wasn't the speed of light that changed but the distance light needed to travel through space.

With the speed of light being faster in the first fraction of time it isn't necessary to have a mysterious inflaton to balance the size and horizon problems of the history of the Universe, and the values of conservation of energy constants changes too.

All massless particles travel at the same speed of light. Mass is a resting condition of energy evidently and time occurs just to things with mass as they wait possibly forever to get up to speed.

João Magueijo brings many fascinating ideas about gravity and cosmology within an amusing and constructive form. Modified Gravity theory and VSL have the same grounding in the Plank era (and even another physicist John Moffat discovered his own VSL and Modified Gravity theories as early as 1994-different approaches than João Magueijo's yet worthwhile-the two ended up sharing some ideas and work) and are capable of describing the accelerating expansion of space.

While VSL may not be the final description of the cosmological structure of the Universe its approach helpfully provides another way to regard the constants of nature as variables in order to further investigation their origin and relation to materially evident data observed by astrophysicists.

It is a reminder that the observable Universe is just a small area of an immensely larger area that grew greatly in size perhaps 13.7 billion years ago. The Universe is not just 45 billion light years in size-it may be trillions of light years in size, and the the expansion of that all just one cycle of a waveform of uncertain nature. I would personally find that consistent with God's infinite and eternal, nature.
