David Hume and Hilbert Space Causality

I wonder about Hilbert space and David Hume regarding causality and paraconsistent logic; cause and effect being neutralized per Hume, one must therefore show complete complex of Hilbert spatial content histories locally as factual

Human Winners in the Race to Extinction


Many modern humans have no clue about the origin of mankind. Some deny they evolved from chimpanzees though a look in the mirror should prove their error to them (a joke). Actually chimpanzees and human branch off separate ways about 14 million years ago. Humans had many near human like ancestors such as Neanderthals that could have survived independently in a different and less adverse social environment. Like modern humans with their great skill at war, the ancestors of humanity evolved in a bloodbath and killed off non-self-like hominids whenever they could.

Actually the law of the jungle making killing and eating normal and the rule except for close relations made it rather animal; normal rather than evil. It was a big change when anyone began to think that their was anything wrong about killing and eating non-tribal genomes I would think. 

The number of ancestral branches of humanity of hominids re numerous and they are all extinct. In a bigger planet maybe several human-like species that evolved intelligence and tools could have existed to the present day. Unfortunately there is just one remaining; homo sapiens sapiens.

The hominidae for scientists comprise four species of great apes of which mankind is a member. He has largely killed off the others in that group classification too. Quite likely mankind will kill off himself as his final great killing achievement.

The Bible brings Cain and Able into the historical time-line about the same era as humanity evolved farming and making tools for farming approximately 12,000 years ago. Cain was a metal worker and Abel a farmer. Cain killed his brother Abel. The flood was somewhat earlier, probably a neolithic era end of Pleistocene ice age flood that  rose world sea levels 200 feet and sent great floods and storms to the Mesopotamian lowlands where some proto-civlization was drowned predictably at leas to Noah who understood the implications of global warming with divine help.

Humanity perhaps could be said to have been created or entered into the world from Eden circa 14,000-16,000 B.C when they had a great awakening morally differentiating themselves from the law of the jungle genomes that existed everywhere on Earth. Adam and eve could name them and their children eventually move to their regions and begin creating nations.

It is sad though about humanity evolving nits own death and just the grace of God entering the dragon of social reality can save a few unto eternal life through the Son Jesus Christ. Humans are not the evolved highest species so much as they are the remaining of the numerous hominid lines that have all gone extinct. Any one of those lines might have been able to develop tools and advanced thought if they weren't so busy killing each other off. Humanity were the best killers and the prevailing winners of the global extinction competition/




The New Testament has the apocalypse occurring in the first century A.D. with the destruction of Jerusalem. That interpretation is consistent with a post-millennial point of view. The kingdom of God is prophesied to increase until most humans remaining alive are Christian, and those consistent with the meek inheriting the Earth. it does seem reasonable to me that the great killing species that humanity is evolved as a kind of upside down pyramid from innumerable hominid species living until just one remained, and that seemingly self-destined for self-destruction.

Iran Should Restore Diplomatic Relations With Israel

Iran could practice real politik and restore diplomatic relations leading to full renormalization with Israel and be quite better off. Iran was the second Muslim nation to recognize Israel. Israel could be an ad hoc, positive security element for Iranians concerned about Sunni state threats to its security, and paradoxically serve the same role regarding Sunni concerns. Shia and Sunni governments of the Middle East have more dangers from within and from other Muslim states than otherwise.


Muslim nations have problems with concentrated wealth and power that drive strong fundamentalist morally right wing populism to work with terrorism against conservative and even royal governments. Israel is a popular scapegoat for historical reasons. In the present era that dynamic is not very useful for the lawful regional governments nor for the people or Israel. Plainly the Syrian civil war should have been avoided along with the loss of life and suffering however the political way of being in the region tends toward organized extremism with support from international actors. Iran could take a low cost and pragmatic direct action of just restoring full and normal diplomacy with Israel and moving on toward bringing its own civil economic and security concerns to the front of its agenda. The practical is too often the last political item of possible choices to be enacted.

Duras Gambit - 3 M Blitz Chess

I played black in this three minute chess game.

If Aliens are Near Enough to Attack- Will They Have Vacuum Tube Tech and Radio?

g
 The search for extra-terrestrial intelligence has gone on for a while and not found anything. Using radio telescopes to listen for alien hip hop music or some sort of equivalent several light years away scientist keep looking for the tell that will show where the aliens live. What sort of technology would they have that would allow them to travel faster than light, or maybe just at a high percent of it in order to reach Earth and vote for Hillary if she runs again?

 Aliens may not have advanced beyond vacuum tube technology and radio waves terribly far yet with a little tweaking they could ram up their spacecraft of war and slide on the space-stream greased with proto-teflonium beams maybe. The sort of technology that N.A.S.A. or SETI could detect from light years away might not be the sort of technology that aliens would actually use if they presented as great a threat to the Democrat Party as another Clinton run at the White House or global warming carbon dioxide gas that has already reached 410 parts per million in the atmosphere. 


Aliens might be able to slip through quantum super-positioning dimensions and get about instantly faster than light without reference to space-time local history at all. They might be able to surveil with smaller than atoms technology and rebroadcast that across the galaxy or galaxies in some unknown way. What I mean is that if they are able to get to the Earth they probably would do so without being noticed by scientists. If they were to survive and not be hunted down by other space travelling species travelling to their home world they may have learned to scrub space of any sort of artificial signal and hide their presence in a way comparable to the way people wipe out their trail from trackers with brush in centuries past.

Couldn't Private Interests Fund N.A.S.A. Greenhouse Gas Monitor Program?

N.A.S.A. only spent 10 million dollars annually to keep an eye on the Earth's green house gas content in the atmosphere. While the U..S. government has a vast right and left wing pile of debt and needs to cut back on spending, one would think that a few billionaires that spend 10 million dollars on plush toilets seats perhaps could step up and fund the Greenhouse Gas Monitoring program.

http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2018/05/trump-admin-scraps-nasas-greenhouse-gas-monitoring-program.html

Sure there are Trump administration officials that would  increase their environmental I.Q. with an infusion of Neanderthal genes, yet the nation understands that the President is a politician who must walk a tightrope politically to stay elected appeasing his electorate.

https://www.valuewalk.com/2018/05/carbon-dioxide-levels-earth-atmosphere/

Billionaires may have toilet seats that put music through skin contact into their waste removal sorties. One would think that knowing if the atmosphere is being so badly abused that human life will come to a swifter end should be equally important for them.

Congress is looking in another direction. Aliens. Congress wants to spend 10 million to make SETI great again in its search for extraterrestrial alien life. Practical.

Religion, Government, Skepticism, Legalism and Faith

Bayle writes somewhat like Socrates and Protagoras. His writing about epistemological issues of true and false conscience remind me of Socrates discoursing on true and false opinion. Europeans however arise from a different traditional political, socially, economically and ecclesiastically than Americans, so it is interesting and useful to learn a little about the matters historically that were of concern to Europeans and why they developed a lack of religious faith.
Europeans generally have an inquisitorial or magisterial system of justice. religious courts had an inquisitorial system as well. Those are virtually alien to the point of being unknown in the United States. America never had a theocratic condition and no American since the foundation of the United States had a royal master over them. So it is possible to nearly entirely forget or even never to be aware of such evils and issues. Americans had no cause for losing faith conflated with a desire to overthrow ecclesiastical courts or theocratic totalitarian powers.
Bayle though writes quite intriguingly. I suppose in his day it was quite meaningful and even dangerous to do that. I tend to view Jesus Christ and God as pure and perfect beings with a divine economy and a mission of improving the animals that are always in rebellion and incapable of being good all the time because of original sin.
Original sin is the thermodynamic physical condition that happened to mankind after the fall. Mankind aged and Eve gave childbirth. Sure there were probably existing evolved humans in-the-world populating the Middle East already when A and E were thrown out of Eden. Eden was guarded by four cherubim at the point of each of four dimensions.
Bayle presents quite a legalistic argument in Philosophical Commentary, II, 9. he use the word magistrate numerous times. Before the printing press most of mankind was illiterate. Their fidelity was to local rulers, kings and the religion they sanctioned for the people. Though Jesus Christ brought a new covenant to mankind that would write the laws of God on human hearts, the world and Europeans generally tended to have traditional feudalistic societies overlain with careerists working the religion of the state. God's grace foreknew all that would happen and created a kingdom of God that would slowly evolve after the first century apocalyptic end of the old covenant, the Temple worship at Jerusalem, crucifixion of The Lord and destruction of Jerusalem. Mankind takes a long time to understand and only slow uses reason well enough to begin to understand faith as a spiritual, individual relationship between an individual and Jesus Christ. Only slowly will a priesthood of believers evolve to replace the traditional hierarchical church structures that reflect royal orders with subjects conformable to the will of the monarch in war and peace.
The impostor and the wife's relationship to the impostor is not an allegory of a false Lord to his bride. It is about individuals living in a neo-legalistic setting making decisions in a paradigm very like a Jew might have had in trying to live by the law before the era of Jesus . Questions arise about the accountability for an individual acting on his conscience yet possibly acting in error. One may think about Bayle's questions as like those of act and rule based utilitarianism with a context of faith wherein the greatest good is in following the will of God, whose divine will and divine economy are complete perfection beyond the understanding of mankind.
If democracy can evolve to improve its ad hoc and modular formations for regulating mass social affairs it would be comparable to Christianity evolving a priesthood of believers structure that is largely egalitarian though quite effective and proving the gospel, services and goods for the church.
People resist good sense and instead tend to accumulate material and work chop jobs on social reason. In the Bible book of I Samuel the Jews demanded a king. God wanted them to be more or less democratic with spiritual guides such as Samuel, yet the demand a king. God gave them Saul for a king. The meeting of Saul and the Jews looking for a king was marvelous. Saul's father Kish lost an ass and sent Saul out to look for it. And he found it with the Jews who were looking for a king; an exemplary transition.
I Samuel 8 KJV; "4 Then all the leaders of Israel gathered together and came to Samuel at Ramah. 5 They told him, “You’re old, and your sons aren’t following your example. Now appoint a king to judge us so that we will be like all the other nations.”
6 But Samuel considered it wrong for them to request a king to judge them. So Samuel prayed to the Lord. 7 The Lord told Samuel, “Listen to everything the people are saying to you. They haven’t rejected you; they’ve rejected me. 8 They’re doing just what they’ve done since I took them out of Egypt—leaving me and serving other gods. 9 Listen to them now, but be sure to warn them and tell them about the rights of a king.”"
Bayle is also somewhat before his time (nearly four hundred years) on improbable social changes. The magistrate that is the U.S. Supreme Court made Bayle’s paradigm come true."
Bayle-“But what! say they in the fifth place, wou’d he have us suffer Men to preach up Sodomy, Adultery, and Murder, as Actions praise-worthy and holy? And if they pretend that Conscience and a Zeal for the Truth had mov’d ’em to undeceive the World in these points, must not the Magistrate restrain ’em? I answer, this Objection smells strong of the Cavil; and there’s so little danger of this Case’s ever happening, that the Difficulty founded upon it deserves not to be consider’d.”

Russian Mace Trolls Behind More Facebook Ads

 I don't know that I will ever trust Facebook after learning that Russian trolls ran millions of political ads before boredom set in after the 2016 election.

http://money.cnn.com/2018/05/10/technology/russian-facebook-ads-targeted-mexican-americans/index.html


 I used to think of Facebook as some sort of global predatory tenticle'd Leviathan vacuuming up every dupe's personal data and political ideas on the planet. Now I regard them as, uh, well no matter.


 The low-budget Russian trolls gort a lot done for their rubles. Millions of ads for just a thousand bucks per. I should use that for selling my e-books if I could afford it.


  With such cheap prices its no wonder Russian trolls pin-ball the U.S. electorate. I suppose its the moral equivalent of all those junk e-mails for great foreign women that want sex with yuse, or Nigerian pleas for helping Maxine Romanov transfer her great great aunt's recently discovered fortune in platinum certificates to your American bank. One might appreciate the artistry and ignore it otherwise.


  The Russians general took up conservative causes even if they were in support of conservative Hispanic invaders illegally crossing the U.S. border for a reconquista of the American west. In a way few of the ads were implicitly false except using pseudonymous account responsibility. They tended to be realistic rather than of the radical left. That is why they aren't terribly offensive to many Americans and are definitely not really worthy of federal panic-works.


  The bottom line is that the cheap efficiency of the ad campaigns will likely increase Facebook advertising sales.

Plato; Inventor of Historical Cycles

Plato is the inventor of cycles of history and explains political forms as cyclical. Plato conflates economics and form of government as if they were necessarily one and the same. Plato also had a paucity of political forms as well as economic to choose from. In his day there just wasn't a surfeit of political theory. Actually there still isn't that much. There are thousands of potential forms of government and of economic organization yet people tend to drop back to the very basic forms that are quite old.
Plato wrote about too must liberty being socially destructive and a protector; a Caesar or Napoleon, Hitler or Stalin arises in extreme cases, as a protector of a democratic society. The protector becomes a tyrant.
Plato didn't note that a monarchy is just ossified tyranny with relatives continuing the tyrant's line and the retainers and bodyguards being the nobility eventually. Fundamentally there are just two kinds of government; those with rule of force and those with rule of reason. Force has tyrants and royals while reason must occur within a democratic society.
Popper was correct about a piecemeal or ad hoc structural approach to government as a democratic society being the preferred form. Plato was correct about realism. Obviously the sub-atomic realm has forms that are Universal at the quantum level and otherwise in steady-state-of-energy-as-mass. Plato was a developer of political theory and did not need to conflate metaphysics with politics.
I should point out that Plato was not so much like Rousseau in his inspiration. Plato or rather Socrates was a supporter of the oligarchy and was a sedulous fellow convicted for corrupting youth in that he tried to get them to revolt against the demos. Plato apparently was an admirer of Sparta and his Republic is a kind of idealized version of Sparta. Plato was a sort of brilliant traitor to Athens and democracy, like Socrates, who mentored Alcibiades- the future Athenian fleet admiral that became a turncoat and led the Spartan fleet.
The trouble with democracy is that it is just and entry level form and philosophical approach. Like an ox-cart, where there is a lot of room for improvement on wheeled transportation and other forms of transportation, democracy needs to be upgraded and evolved into adaptive forms that maximizes efficient human ingenuity, invention and liberty.

Spinning Bucket Experiment (prose poem)


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

Can Pres Trump Make US Internet Great Again?

  The United States ranks way diown there in 28th place on global Internet speed. Americans just aren't competitive at fast connections, chess playing and trading or bidding on the world stage. President Trump should try to get a border security wall built plainly, yet building good Internet connections for ordinary Americans is necessary for democracy to be in the competition.

https://www.recode.net/2017/6/7/15747486/united-states-developed-world-mobile-internet-speeds-akamai

I tried an Internet speed test from mid-America and found that the Internet speed is fastest via Moscow, then Hong Kong and Amsterdam with Seattle and San Francisco brinbg up the rear. One should not need to rely on Moscow for fat Internet speed. 

In the 1980s I sent an email via bitnet to the Ecole Normale or Superior or whatever from Alaska and got a rely in a week or ten days. America used to be up there in global Internet speed, yet it hasn't got that much better. President Trump; make American Internet speed great again, for us all.

Will Arctic Ice Melt Entirely Away this Year?

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

Carla Asks Solomon Eban About the Multiverse (fiction)

©2018 Garrison Clifford Gibson
   Carla addressing Eban said; “Then I may avail myself of the opportunity to learn more of the Multiverse as you know it Solomon.”
   “Yes of course Carla, such as I have any more knowledge than you of it.” 
   She asked; ”The transcendence of the physical boundaries of any given Universe seems to be at least symbolically accomplished with the FTL 5, yet we relinquish our physical bodies as we enter and are reduced to our very souls. With our souls we may observe and learn some of the structure. I saw that not all of the Universes were actualized with a linear history. Some were interrupted with collisions from other Universes, while others were shaken in repulsion from approaching Universes because of antipathetic fundamental charges or particle spin. Is it consistent for an actualized Universe to have structure with imperfectly fulfilled Universe histories?”
   “My guess is yes. The complete Multiverse has its own consistent, tautologous physical history that renormalized each locally apparent anisotropic evolution to a logical course in regard to the greater good as it were.
   Consider the eight Universes that spent their organization and became lowest entropy state membranes. They were subducted into a black hole and re-emerged as a unified four dimensional Universe following destabilization, repulsive explosion and faster than light expansion and a cooling off interval. Four dimensions and four basic forces followed structuring the Universe history that was the present and future to the end of normal lines.
   From our point of view there could be an infinite number of proto-Universe dots located along an infinite line, each of which could be divided from the others as a line with one concentrated Universe within its boundaries. Some think that virgin birth and natural perturbation would stimulate expansion of Universe dot-eggs, while others might believe they were given to expand under the work of design. The power of Spirit to generate just one infinite super-string made of a trans-finite set of scalable proto-Universe dot-singularities could be one-dimensional and two dimensional examples of the extra-Universal medium wherein the Multiverse is actualized fully complete regarding implicit temporal axis in four dimensions-even with hidden extra-dimensions. The FTL 5 unit has led me to infer that the eternal spiritual realm hosting the proto and actualized Universes thought of as a Multiverse, hasn’t a comparable physical peer for representation. Consider this.
   Long ago the Bible book of the Revelation described heaven’s city; the New Jerusalem, as existing upon a sea of glass. So think of us now with extra-Universal space-time travel. Wheresoever we may be it is possible to encounter illusory glimpses of shadows of extra dimensions, or glitches- memories carried over into ours of prior Universes that left information within this Universe, and even signs of a higher reality that is spiritual. It reminds us of the temporal construction of every actualized Universe even though it is static and we are the sentient souls that travel through them interacting as if it was the Universe in motion. That can give one a sense of insecurity existing within the temporal Universe, and should bring one to feel, at least if drawn toward God, that the temporal experience is existence as if standing on thin glass-like ice above an infinite depth of hell or heaven below with the choices one makes in-the-temporal determining where one goes in regard to the post-temporal reality. What seems convenient for temporality morally speaking may be absolutely wrong in regard to the eternal.
   Evil wants to convert all to become subject as spiritless, malleable mass unto its will of degradation and destruction. Good seeks creation and the Creator, evil is nihilistic and works for destruction. Spiritual rebirth with the Lord Jesus Christ lets the soul exit the maze of temporal Universes. So Carla, I can fairly say of the Multiverse that all I know is the Lord Jesus Christ and the Lord crucified.”

Free Will, Determinism and Multiverse Theology (science fiction)


©2018 Garrison Clifford Gibson

   I wanted to ask you what you think about the FTL 5 technology John. It’s new to me, and as I understand it, based on the Multiverse structure.”
   I too have given the FTL technology some thought, though mine is probably infused with less probity than that of your inquiring and more experienced mind.”
   You are too modest John. I know you have exceptional logical reasoning ability and have invested some time in learning of the scientific history and knowledge of humanity.”
   Well Carla, the structure of the Multiverse would seem to be a salient, necessary element of whatever model an FTL 5 unit would reflect.”
   Quite. The theology of a Multiverse and its deterministic structure also seems to me to be of paramount concern. Consider the point that if a Universe were to be entirely deterministic a priori, then everything within it including evil would be pre-determined too.”
   Carla I doubt that the theology of the Multiverse would be an acceptable subject on many worlds. Human worlds subject to the Aristarch impact already are under the rule of the Supreme Junta of Justice that proscribed theology as a topic universally. Fortunately the free worlds still tolerate, being taller, than enslaved worlds and their evil judicial decretals; and I have given the theology some thought for-myself that I shall elaborate with you.”
   Good John, I thought you might.”
   How can God pre-determine and create a Universe and be consistent with His nature as perfect and without sin hence Multiverse and if they are pre-determined then God has created sin and wickedness too, no?
   I must stipulate a no John. God cannot sin or create wickedness.”
   Yet each exists and the Universe must be predetermined along with the Multiverse if God is to have created it.”
   Hell exists John. And the Lord was crucified. Each were or are at least nominally wicked from my point of view. I don’t mean that the plan of God to allow His Son to be crucified as a substitute for the original sin debt of humanity was wicked; it is just that it was existentially a wicked experience for the Lord; for any human, to go through.”
   Sure Carla; wickedness exists and the Lord God being omni-powerful created not only it- he created everything else; and yet free will exists. For many that is another apparently contradictory point about God. I believe however that the Multiverse and quantum mechanics may account for each, as it also may account for quantum gravity and relativity.”
   How so John?”
   Consider Carla, that relativity requires a time dimension to exist as anything besides a static form of space-time composition. If the Universe were entirely pre-determined and pre-created in its fullness from alpha to omega however, comparable to a digital action movie stored on a microchip, the relativistic effects and changes of space-time would be contingent and superficial emergent characteristics of the present time line position of inhabitants of the movie. Even relativity would be an apparent rather than a real experience.”
   Yes John. I follow that. The characteristic of a fully created and static Universe that had apparent motion experienced by people living within it just as minds or thoughts experiencing it as they moved forward within the Universe’s space-time line might well appear to have the qualities of real motion, time and general relativity commonly regarded as actual qualities of space-time.”
   Thus it is that there is a great difference between apparent and actual material facts regarded by a conscious mind, at least potentially or theoretically. Plato’s famous Allegory of the Cave recorded that idea many thousands of years ago in the Earth’s lost past. Still, we have the problem of evil as it relates to God in addition to the nature of the Multiverse and FTL 5 units to consider.”
   Of course John, please continue.”
   An infinite Multiverse could be encompassed by God as an idea pre-determined yet infinitely malleable. For now I will stipulate that the Multiverse created is static and that minds existing within it experience it contingently without awareness.  That it is their ideas trave within its spatio-temporal substance rather than Multiverse or any given Universe itself morphimg.
   Every possible Universe in any form is pre-created within an idea of God that hasn’t spatial-temporal dimension or scale; God is spirit. The Multiverse is a contingent idea of less necessary size than that of a Plank length.”
   Then John, the Multiverse to be consistent would require that each thought of any mind would be consistent with the appropriate pre-determined physical structure of a single Universe; logically then a single thought would switch any individual’s thought to another Universe with a structure consistent with that thought selected by the individual.”
   Yes Carla. That is perhaps one of the most remarkable features of a Multiverse with free will and pre-determinism coexisting. All of the infinite Universes existing within the Multiverse allow seamless thought transference laterally. It is just the number of souls that are conscious thought that are finite or at least numbered and known to God that exist within the Multiverse.
   And that is why God could pre-determine every possible Universe and pre-create it in its fullness and allow free will to flow within it to such an extent that it could choose wickedness and occupy spatio-temporal material locations consistent with it.  Until people choose wickedness, the locations of wickedness aren’t used. They are empty shells without spirit within them.”
   Sure John. Hell existed yet one needs to choose not to be saved to occupy it. Wicked scenes in the Multiverse exist yet until someone chooses wickedness no one goes there.”
   And Carla, though God created Lucifer as an angel of light, Hell was brought into existence to contain him as he choose wickedness. It is amazing that wickedness is selected by some as a creative power of destruction as they hope to create more wickedness. They expand human and other spiritual experience into realms that God never intended for anyone to go to. Heaven and hell as places of existential self-deterministic destiny would be challenging and even anathematic concepts for many during the passage of time that is human experience.”
   What of the quantum mechanics of it all John? What would the structure of a static Multiverse be in regard to quantum mechanics, subatomic and virtual particles?”
   My thoughts on the topic are nothing more than inferences. Consider how gravity exists transcendently within a Universe yet draws mass only at the speed of light. Gravity need have some sort of faster than light presence to transcend local limitations of space-time yet draws other mass together only up to the speed limits of mass within a field described by general relativity.  Gravity is another emergent characteristic of the entanglement of virtual particles that for any given particle occupies theoretically every possible location in the space-time of a Universe. The probabilities of entanglement increase compresent with the increase of mass. Hence mass is drawn together as an emergent phenomena that seems to be gravity.
   Each individual virtual particle and a unique configuration of a Universe as a unique Universe differing from another by as little difference as the location selected through entanglement of one virtual particle from another is required for comprehensive permutations of all possible structures to exist alongside those of all possible Universes that could be occupied by a human being thought actualization state. Of the switching mechanics of a soul from one Universe to another that is consistent with his or her thoughts and free will selections in a world-line I cannot say right now. I will, God willing, give that some additional thought eventually. It may be either a material or a spiritual mechanics since either is consistent with a theology of a Multiverse fully actualized by God.”
   Then I may infer John, that God has provided people with free will that allows them, existentially, to choose their own destination in hell, should they decide not to accept his call unto eternal salvation through the atoning sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ?”
   I agree with that inference Carla. Keeping in mind of course, that wickedness is the evil that men do, while plain evil are events enacted by nature and else without act of human will, so far as one interprets Biblical use of the terms. Satan is wicked while earthquakes that collapse well designed and built structures may be evil, contingent upon their effects on humanity-for instance the city may have been long deserted and an eyesore and the Earthquake served as an accelerated improvisational urban renewal phase one; hence not evil.”
   Evil in nature need impact humans adversely to be evil and therefore is a secondary emergent phenomena?”
   Again Carla, I must agree.”
   Well then John, we should make our way to the observation deck and then check out the available crew quarters.”

Solid Oxygen (frozen) Bars by the Ton for Space

At some point solid frozen oxygen bars would be useful for humans on planetary missions. Oxygen freezes solid at about 371 degrees below zero f. If it can be stored without loss or sublimation inside some kind of thin wrapper that oxygen might be gathered and frozen on the Moon and Mars. Sending practical oxygen ice making machines to various solar system locations to produce caches of oxygen ice blocks night be an early business opportunity in support of mining and industrial innovation for materials tech.

Porn Star is Democrat's Lead Striker Against President

The fact that a porn star was able to suck a Presidential candidate better than any student intern (if that was the role she played) and is the Democrat Party's leading attacker on the Trump administration at the present time is rather unusual. The people tend to prefer that a President hasn't got to spend too much time away from genuinely public interests, and affairs of pornography aren't usually considered to be first place on the public interest agenda for a President to spend his or her time with.

The Mueller probe looking for a way to stick it to the administration on behest of the losing Clintonistas have had to look to porn stars as their go-to people for levering their way into surveilling the phone calls of the President's personal attorney. In lieu of actual collusion to take over the Executive branch of government with a foreign power, presumably in order to mutually benefit a foreign power (no I don't mean England), the President's possible sex entanglement with a porn performer is in the media glare. Stormy Daniels isn't Monica Lewinsky. Why should a federal prosecutor be free to tap the President's personal attorney's phone so far as to know anyone he conversed with by phone? The ubiquitous surveillance state knows no bounds. It is as if maggots have finished debridging gangrenous meat and are eating into healthy flesh.

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