Written in Futhark runes; a language that was dead before Columbus, the Lord's prayer found carved into a stone that was revealed when a storm blew over a tree trunk presents a fascinating mystery to scholars.

Zelenski and European political war mongers think President Trump is a chump not to be taken seriously in regard to ending the Ukraine war. They expect to deface Trump's 28 point peace plan to their satisfaction and alter the points adding measures to the effect that Russia must capitulate and withdraw all forces from Ukraine or else.
The basic problem with securing peace quickly is that Euros reinforce Zelenski and each expect the U.S. leadership to be spineless sycophants providing full support for the war on Russia in Ukraine as was President Biden. President Biden provided political and military fellatio to Ukraine and Europe can’t believe President Trump won’t really continue those policies. Neither realize that the negotiation is largely between President Trump and Russia. The Europeans are interested, crazy, war mongering coaches for Ukraine and fans that whole-heartedly want the war to continue even if Ukraine is losing.
President Trump has it within his power to end the war himself simply by recognizing Russian ownership of Donbas and Crimea and ending sanctions on Russia with a promise from President Putin to stop the war at whatever military lines it has in combat contact with Ukraine if and whenever the Ukraine government does plead for peace. That is, Russia will not continue the fight over the Dnepro River just because Ukraine has agreed to quit fighting.
Without U.S. military support, intelligence and sanctions Ukraine will continue to lose the war- only faster. European perfidy relies on the N.A.T.O. treaty to snair the U.S.A. on the wrong side of a conflict with Russia over Ukraine at some point in the future I would think via clever, calculated, planning and trickery. After the Cold War, building up N.A.T.O. to such a large, unnecessary size that it would make the United States a junior partner obligated to do Europe's bidding was a foreseeable mistake. I noted that problem a decade or two ago. European leadership was always latent war mongers even when they were beaten down after W.W. 1 and 2. War is in their political genome.
European military forces of the E.U. always were a potential enemy of the United States that would need to be offset by an alliance with Russia. It hasn't reached that point yet. It is not reasonable to suppose that U.S. and E.U. political choices would always be in agreement. Wars can occur between powerful nations and armies sometimes. The potential change of allies to adversaries can happen quickly. Scaling back N.A.T.O. to a size that would not present a threat to the United States if it turned to the dark side of the force would rectify a problem that has increased the past three decades.
After W.W. 2 N.A.T.O. allies of the United States were not remotely as powerful as the U.S. military. That balance is changing; even with the encouragement of recent U.S. Presidents. Ending the Ukraine war and normalizing relations with Russia is good for the U.S.A. and Russia. The Euros say that land shouldn't be taken by force. Yet when Russia was so weak after the end of the Cold War and Ukraine so tempting for the west they took it en passant from Russia the rightful owner. Euros and N.A.T.O. had so much military force advantage they did not need to use force; still Ukraine was in effect taken by force from Russia the rightful owner. Sharing Ukraine with Russia is the only remedy to prevent continuing battle and needless killing. Russia knows it cannot get a fair hearing in any European 'World Court'. If the World Court judicial composition were switched to operations by BRIC nations every five years or so the verdicts probably would be different. Force de majeure is the only remedy when the judiciary is completely corrupt like a European based World Court that hasn't any legal authority over nations anyway.
Ukraine's Zelenski and the parliament remind me of the wise guy issues the U.S.A. had in negotiations for various matters with Sodom Hussein's Iraq. Ukraine is ostensibly an ally though one that primarily flies a skull and crossbones favored by England, Poland, France, Germany and a few other nations. The United States is the chump footing the bill for the Ukraine war and the host of corrupt politicians and business people making a fortune from the senseless conflict.
Zelenski's latest ploy is to ditch Pres. Trump's 28 point peace plan that Mr. Trump requires Zelenski to sign by the 27th of November or lose American military and intelligence contributions.
The method to extend that deadline is his disavowal of his power as President of Ukraine that was extended during martial law to avoid elections and saying only the parliament has the power to make laws to enable peace negotiations to exist with Russia. The parliament probably isn't willing to negotiate or enable negotiations while the corrupt are profiting.
The Zelenski government can play a wise guy version of who's on first fairly well for a disingenuous neo-ally/nephew/shill of various powers that want to expand into former Russian lands like Ukraine. President Trump will probably need to let his deadline play out rather than continue an interminable succession of delays in ending the war. President Putin has already said the 28 point plan can form the basis for a peace settlement, albeit with some possible tweaking. It is a good deal for Russia and more than West Ukraine needs.
I took a MOOC course from the Univ. of Copenhagen named Kierkegard and Socratic irony. Kierkegaard and Socrates each showed that social reality is inauthentic yet persuasive, inclusive and convincing. The aesthetic and employ paradigms in Curt Jaimungal’s terms would miss out on reality and the Christian born again relationship. Humans are embedded in an enigmatic mass-energy field of some sort. To be more and different than that requires spiritual rebirth. Siren Kirkegore (phonetic) is a Christian existentialist in the sense of regarding the apparent field of being as phenomenal. He regarded smug German romanticism as missing the point of authentic existence with Christ. Romantics including Hegel, Socrates and Nietzsche all regarded social reality somewhat inimically. Yet they missed the right response- Hegel less so with his evolution of the Spirit in history context. That is a clever analysis yet I think it fails being included in the tradition of French rationalism ... Descartes, Sartre etc.
On thermodynamics and the 'arrow of time'; It seems a convenient way of cheating to say that one's math, theories or assumptions regarding entropy are correct for set U when given the unobservable set X containing reciprocals proving theories about set U are correct.

Poems from long ago
written in the past
where the future wasn’t ever
and time would not yet last
Being is becoming
and never not yet when
walking on dark trails with shadows
echoes came to pass
Silence was a river
of forever always flowing
with each brief portrait of creation
the Almighty always knowing
Within that hall of mirrors
galaxies lonely seeming
give moments to softly think about
why it has some meaning.
President Trump’s peace plan for ending the Ukraine war is nearing a critical phase where it might actually have a chance of fulfillment in spite of opposition from select European leaders urging the war to continue until the cows come home. President Trump has, in effect, instructed pro-war leaders to hold their horses with the war material supplied by the boat, ship and trainload to Ukraine, and let the war burn out along a reasonable final line in the Donbas and Crimea. He would have each nation resume normal relations with the world and begin hiring construction workers to build Ukraine and Donbass and for farmers to grow grain; for medical personnel to return to treat hundreds of thousands of maimed humans, and for young attractive Ukraine women to return to their country and stop advertising themselves on the internet for international wife prospects on the low low.

The Ukraine parliament may be in a process of ridding itself of corrupt leaders embroiled in a corruption scandal. A change of government may bring about an end to the war if it is willing to sign off on sharing Ukraine with its historically rightful owner.

Select Democrats are continuing the divide and conquer approach to political power by making a video urging active duty military to not obey illegal orders (from President Trump).The implication is that the President is ordering the military to perform illegal actions, and continues to do so after court decisions to order the action to stop. Neither the President nor the Courts benefit from Super-intervention by select Democrats admonishing military members. Levering the military undermines the trust in the executive, the military and government itself. President Trump wasn't wrong in suggesting the Democrat Party is flirting with sedition. After all they do favor policies that are harmful to the nation and of more value to Mexico and Europe than Americans rather often.
The military are already aware they can be court martialed for following plainly illegal orders. For members of the national guard to follow the President's orders to deploy in order to security the safety of federal officials or to secure the safety of American citizens is more of a legal issue; a technical one, for the judiciary to decide, rather than individual soldiers themselves. Placing an onerous burden of jurisprudence upon soldiers to litigate thorny legal issues in their minds and make a choice to obey an order or not is wrong. That in itself is not sedulous, although it does strive to disrupt the Executives and Judicial role in domestic affairs and infuse distrust and chaos amidst the military.

President Trump was accused of leading an insurrection against the U.S. Government by the Democrat (ic) Party and must relish the opportunity to return the favor to Democrats. It would not be too surprising if Congressional Republicans established a committee of some sort to investigate Democrat party affiliation with foreign governments of Europe and with Mexico to discover hidden relations to drug cartels and those seeking to continue war and transfer hundreds of billions of dollars to the corrupt government of Ukraine for war against Russia. Republicans though don't have a total war upon political opposition as their political modus vivendi.
NBC reported however that Trump "suggested that Democrats should be killed"- in a libelous parsing of what the President actually said; a textbook case of fake news. Trump simply referred to the on the books legal penalty for sedition.

I am for free enterprise and democracy with private property yet global communism could naturally evolve in at least one possible future. That would be in a system where A.I. is so far smarter than humans in general intelligence- not just large language models, and robots ubiquitous and cheap, and resources limited or in need of critical global management including near space resources, that A.I. rules the Earth and allocates to everyone "each according to his or her needs", and drafts people for whatever purpose General A.I. control requires "from each according to his ability". Private property would be abolished and the state (the A.I.) would manage all human political and economy interests with absolute power- this is the first principle of an Artificial Intelligence system of government that coincides with communist Utopian goals.

Microplastics are pervasive in the ecosphere today as a consequence of a century of plastics use economically. Plastics break down and become microplastic and are ingested by humans via numerous vectors. There are about seven grams of microplastics in every American's brain; and that affects health and possibly even petrification of thinking about environmental problems leading to denial they exist lol (that is a political joke).
Recently research has found a possible way to purge a human body of the accumulation of microplastics by ingestion of an element of broccoli named Sulforaphane. Following are videos on health problems caused by microplastics and one of the possible remedies.

The political split between President Trump and Marjorie Taylor Greene as ended her effectiveness as a Republican politician. She should seize the day and convert to the green side of the force and lead a high tech Green Party environmental, peace and prosperity party campaign for the Presidency in 2028. Trump has the audacity to try impossible things like being President and ending the Ukraine war; so should she.
If World War Three occurs, digital currency will have zero value due to destruction of the Internet Of course the Pentagon may have hardened internal connections that would survive in some upgraded form of DARPANET. Maybe the military-industrial complex will have their own Pentagon digital currency, I believe that at some point when trillions are invested in digital currency some evil genius will find a way to wipe it out- perhaps via e.m.g pulses globally, and bet futures on regular currencies short selling all the digital.
The next war will bring people to have no electricity or internet. There are already a zillion satellites and technology to end telecommunications. Only war hardened networks like the original DARPANET would stand much of a chance of survival, at least until hit by nuclear weapons. There are other advances possible. I am sure that someday quantum teleportation of entangled particles that can develop after quantum computers are built in orbit a square mile in size so they have superconduction and don't need cooling- which is the main limit to their size- someone will discover a way to enter located net facilities and redistribute the wealth of encrypted digital currencies or at least destroy them with some kind of directed energy quantum entanglement/quantum tunneling invasion.
It sounds like science fiction and yet real scientists already exist in a science fiction like world since they are far advanced beyond the knowledge of average people. I graduated as a programmer and systems analyst 45 years ago from a tech school and never worked in the field; preferring a philosophical and Christian life course yet still consider the field with detachment and awareness that every mathematical puzzle can be solved by someone eventually- including quantum computers of the future. Consider the financial incentive of people to learn to infiltrate and affect the wealth of digital currencies via destruction or theft. Money is the prime worldly motivator second possibly only to life and health of oneself and important others.
I am not too concerned about it really. I am poor and can finish life that way without much concern. I also have a philosophical reservation about capitalism. Capital increases faster than wages you know so wealth always over-concentrates and people become oppressed by a tiny minority that own 95 percent of everything. I believe the wealthy should be taxed enough that they cannot concentrate wealth- just earn the wealth they can use in their own lifetime, and have the maximum amount of wealth capped at a certain percent of the total value of the national economy so they don't have so much political power. I support free enterprise, yet capitalism needs limits so it doesn't repress competition even in business.
I hate the idea of people not working and just collecting rents and capital gains with fairly easy investments that make working a farce- especially the wealth of illegal drug sales. It is exceedingly corrupting. In a way the capital investment market needs to be like a Ponzi scheme itself at some point when A.I. can guide everyone’s investments. That sort of natural selection is a crazy way to choose to build actual businesses in the real world.
The present economy is the one that brought every American to have a teaspoon of microplastics in their brains. I am for progress and invention yet regard the present economic structure as maladapted and obsolete in regard to its fundamental structure being an inherited growth of classical economics that is not rational in regard to environmental and demographic elements. I don't believe market forces substitute for rational, critical political design and political economy that works for everyone. 😀
There are substantial differences between W.W. II and the Ukraine conflict about 80 years later obviously. Logistics, weapons technology, communication and political configurations have changed a lot. Here is a video with more background on the German military posture compared to that of the American during World War Two.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dprFSZBTVj8
One might learn something from that regarding the military posture of the United States today with so much manufacturing having shifted offshore and the industrial base half located in China and elsewhere. Solar rechargeable electric vehicles perhaps with auxiliary fuel cells may be a sustainable mass produced military vehicle for foreign militaries that reduce cost and reliance on fuel logistics down the road. Already the rise of drones and solar-power AI drones are changing the realities of equipment that might survive mass air and ground attack from drones. Fuel supply vehicles would be especially difficult to defend making self-fueling military vehicles de rigeur in the future.
A new generation is making the mistake of believing that socialism works better than free enterprise for a modern nation state. The gross concentration of wealth is a fact that can be corrected with democracy; socialism isn’t at all necessary or useful. Instead it is an obsolete, 19th century approach to rectifying problems of industrial era Darwinian capitalism’s extremes of England. Socialism is taking over the Democrat Party basically because the party leadership hasn't good ideas.
New York and Seattle elected socialist mayors (Mamdani and Wilson) in effect attempting to roll back the tide of the end of the Cold war with the defunct Soviet Union that was a movement for free enterprise in the United States and across the Soviet Union. Soviets recognized their ineffective delivery of goods and services to the public in that great 20th century experiment at providing fairness and social equality to the masses. I believe youth don't know history well or learn from its mistakes. A friend said that youth just want to fix what feels 'broken'.
Repeating the same wrong paths may be a traditional failure, yet with Youtube existing to popularize mass education it should be more avoidable now then before. Some say socialism doesn't mean what it used to; that all socialists want today is free bus service and a few items they desire; a living wage, health care, housing. Mayor Mamdani said he wouldn't mind government running grocery stores- I believe the latter would create Soviet style groceries radically under-stocked with a few limp vegetables and a line up for ten day old bread. Politicians don't understand the micro-dynamics of operations of such businesses nor global product acquisition and economics of putting stuff on shelves (i.e. 100 kinds of energy drinks or one, 20 varieties and flavors of yogurt or two, canned ham in ten flavors or one; from Denmark or Chinese owned pig farms in the Midwest etc)..
Even Communist China following the opening President Nixon and Sect. Of State Kissinger eventually discovered that Chinese districts that were given the right to run their own affairs radically outperformed comparable socialist, centrally run economic districts. China opted to move toward increasing free enterprise because it is simply far more productive. https://www.coursera.org/learn/econtransform1
It is a mistake to fail to learn from history and reinforce policy that are proven failures like socialism. Democracy continues to be the best political system obviously, and free enterprise is far and away the most economically productive, yet Democracy only works if people have intelligence enough to use it to deliver what the masses of voters want-within the system. There are numerous challenges to the economy, environment and well being of the nation and it’s people that can be rectified with intelligent legislation rather easily. Advocating a different system simply because politicians have no competent ideas to advance through democracy is unfortunate.
Frank Zappa pointed out that elections are the entertainment division of the military-industrial complex. One might believe that today about Germany and England in light of their support for the Ukraine war- a war that could and should be settled peacefully with Russia recovering its land historically on the East bank of the Dnepro River. The nation should have secure borders and only legal residents, citizens and tourists along with workers with appropriate visas living here; then wages normal rise. Supply and demand counts in wages as well as prices. So it is rather disingenuous for socialist mayors of Seattle and New York to support illegal immigration and better wages for legal workers simultaneously because they are counter-cyclical wage factors.
Americans tend to be ignorant of political philosophy. Because the global conversation for the 20th century was about capitalism vs socialism or communism, many Americans continue to view the world in those lenses. Corporatism, plutocracy, corporatocracy and the reality of globalization and digital currencies over borders are not things the average political philosophy of Americans enter. Any sort of political change or policy that shifts financial advantage from a tiny minority of the rich to the masses through democratic means is immediately labeled socialism even though it is not. The means of production need be privately held and operated for effectiveness. Public policy about what tax levels to set and what to do with the money is a part of the right of democracy the wealthy hate.
Socialism is a loser’s political choice and an effective misdirection of public focus. Creating public, government operated clinics for the poor and letting the middle class and rich by their own health insurance was a better way than Nixon/Romney/Obama care to provide effect health for all Americans. Food stamps are great for the hungry, yet would obviously be stupid for the middle class and rich. Health care is a similar necessary for almost everyone service. In the case of health care because the skill of physicians is critical, in addition to pharmaceuticals and medical equipment and technical staff, it is practical to create clinics with free health care for those that can’t afford it and are legally in the nation. It would be a terrible thing if government bureaucrats were the ones running the pharmaceutical industry I would think; they might invest billions in developing new ‘salt tricks’.
Capital increase faster than wages, and like the acceleration of space-time may increase at a scalar pace if uncorrected. Adequate taxation to stop gross social stratification and gross lass asymmetry is necessary function of a democracy that would remain one rather than follow a version of Aristotle or Toynbee's historical cycles to a bad end. The Democrat Party has been notably ineffective or unable to increase taxes on the rich, to pay off public debt or to provide practical legislation to employ those unemployed longest with tax incentives, make patents affordable for everyone (as well as copyright), realistically solve the homeless problem with innovative physical approaches rather than government spending directly to buy housing rentals with increased public debt.
The nation will face greater challenges ahead from worker displacement by AI and robots. Large stores even now could replace most workers with wheeled robots and good systems analysis. Robots work 24 hours a day seven days a week and are more reliable than human workers. That is a real challenge Democrats cannot address at all with socialism. AI will make even lawyers too costly for many citizens. I would expect that soon socialist mayors themselves may buy AI packed robots to serve as public defenders for the poor in courtrooms one the tech and software exceed that of average law school graduates. Lawyers, unlike chess grandmasters that lose to AI or VR chess engines every time, cannot exist in a separate league of their own free of competition from AI attorney engines.

The Ukraine war is something of a technical brawl comparable to the fight between Rocky Marciano (challenger) and Jersey Joe Walcott (champion) for the heavyweight title in 1952. Russia is known to be something of a military brawler; not so scientific in technique as some nations today, even so they are very skilled as was Marciano. Ukraine is strong and a quality fighter with corrupt leadership and lots of support from followers in elite western governments. Unfortunately, like Marciano v Walcott I the fight seems destined to go 13 rounds with the loss of perhaps the better part of a million lives.
Perhaps W.W. II was like the Ukraine war too; a technical brawl with many tactical approximations and tries for knockouts against relentless opponents unwilling to call themselves lemons and throw in the towel. Even if being beaten senselessly the handlers of Ukraine in Germany and elsewhere in Europe wouldn't allow their shill to retire from the conflict. Germany just decided to send another 11 billion dollars to Ukraine for military equipment next year. The fight costs Ukrainian and Russian lives rather than German.
Russian military groups advanced steadily, technically in 2025 so far, broadly across Eastern Ukraine and seems poised in 2026 to continue the slugfest advancing methodically, technically from major city to major city forming pincers and caldrons around districts sledging across a wilderness of city and landscapes comparable to a frozen ocean. The likely conclusions will be the Russian reconquista of Eastern Ukraine up to the Dnepro River. That border was the practical place to draw the border in 1990-1992-2022 negotiations and to have left it there and moved on. Europeans left to themselves would attack Eastward forever.
I couldn't get Grok to understand the concept. Gemini seemed to- a human would have no trouble understanding or synthesizing vertical wind generators on strong- lightweight frames made of solar cell surfaces stretched over the frames and anchored by sodium rechargeable batteries combined with power stations on the ground for home use. They could produce power night and day fusing two different tech approaches to off-grid power into one.
Gemini wrote; ".combine wind blades with the solar panels. The blades should just be a lightweight frame- like a biplane's, with the solar cells being the wind catching surfaces. Try it again making vertical and horizontal designs for homes with cost and tech specs for builders and consumers as well as sodium battery anchors. The framework is like a light aircraft's yet obviously not in the shape of an aircraft. Would you make an illustrations and tech specs for a vertical wind generator made with bifacial solar panels and anchored to the ground with heavy sodium rechargeable batteries. The solar cells should coat and be part of wind catching surfaces.
The integration of solar panels into wind turbine blades is an emerging hybrid technology, primarily in the conceptual and prototype stages. Due to the specialized engineering required, illustrations and detailed technical specifications for do-it-yourself (DIY) home construction are not currently available in a standardized format for builders and consumers.
Design Overview: Hybrid Vertical Wind Generator
The proposed design is a Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) with integrated bifacial solar panels, anchored by a sodium-ion battery storage system. This setup aims for continuous energy generation (wind at night/overcast days, solar during daylight hours).
Technical Specifications for Builders/Consumers
The exact specifications will vary based on desired output and local climate, but a general framework includes:
| Component | Specification | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Turbine Type | Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) | H-Darrieus or Savonius rotor style is common for small scale. |
| Rated Power | 1–5 kW for residential use | A typical home needs 5-15 kW from wind to be a primary source. |
| Blade Material | Composite materials (GFRP, specialized plastic) | The solar panels themselves are the primary surface, requiring a strong but light backing. |
| Solar Panel | Bifacial PV, 440-545 W per panel | Requires durable, dual-glass panels to withstand wind forces. |
| Tower Height | Depends on wind profile, likely 10-20 ft | VAWTs can be shorter than HAWTs but still need adequate wind exposure. |
| Battery Storage | Sodium-ion battery bank | Ground-anchored for stability and as a cost-effective storage solution. |
| Inverter/Charge Controller | Hybrid inverter system | Manages power flow from both solar, wind, and battery storage. |
Cost Analysis
Illustrations and Blueprints
The technology is highly specialized and generally proprietary to companies developing these prototypes. As such, no open-source, detailed illustrations or blueprints are available for home builders. Interested builders and consumers should refer to academic research papers on the subject (e.g., from the International Research Journal of Engineering and Technology (IRJET) or ResearchGate) for technical specifics of components, but specific DIY blueprints are not publicly available.
For current commercial options, consumers can check with specific manufacturers developing integrated systems to view product designs and specifications."
It could be vaguely like the existing commercial wind generator below except the thing would be made of solar cells over lightweight carbon fiber frames. It could in effect have bifacial (two-sided) solar panels with the frame an integral part so they could just be bolted on to the spinning unit frames.
" Cracks in the Cosmic Foundation: JWST's Wake-Up Call and the Hunt for Better Theories
You're spot on: Standard cosmology (ΛCDM, the Lambda Cold Dark Matter model) is creaking under the weight of fresh data, philosophical head-scratchers, and unification woes. It's not "broken" in the sense of being tossed out (yet), but it's increasingly incomplete, like a map that nails the neighborhood but fumbles the highways. The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has been the wrecking ball here, spotting "impossible" early galaxies and spin quirks that demand rewrites. Add in the Hubble tension (H0 mismatch), dark sector mysteries, and gravity's quantum stubbornness, and yeah, we're in a theory buffet era—dozens of alternatives vying to patch the holes.
I'll weave in your points (e.g., Einstein's CC as a fudge factor, pre-CMB origins of the model, inflation's FTL kludge) while sharing my take on emerging ideas. First, a quick reality check on those JWST bombshells, then the big question: Obsolete or incomplete? Finally, a roundup of hot 2025 theories, sorted via a comparison table to flag compatibilities, contradictions, and plausibility. I prioritized theories that tackle multiple tensions (JWST + DM/DE + inflation) without invoking magic. String/M-theory? They're elegant bystanders—more toolkit than fix-all—but I'll touch on how they slot in.
JWST's Rebel Revelations: Why Standard Cosmology's Sweating
Your list nails the anomalies:
Mature Galaxies Too Soon: JWST's peering back to z~10-13 (300-500 million years post-Big Bang) reveals behemoths with stellar masses rivaling the Milky Way—formed way faster than ΛCDM's slow-burn star formation allows. A February 2025 analysis of over 700 high-z galaxies shows many are "overmassive," implying star formation kicked off almost instantly, not gradually. This echoes your point on Guth's 1980s inflation splice: It was bolted on to explain flatness/homogeneity, but now it underpredicts early structure.
Galaxy Spin Alignment: Deep fields like CEERS show ~60-70% of spirals rotating the same way (counterclockwise from our view), vs. the expected 50/50 random mix. A March 2025 MNRAS paper calls this a "fossil record" of cosmic bias, possibly from Doppler effects or primordial torque—not tidal randomness as ΛCDM assumes. Ties into your chirality riff from before—maybe a handedness from the Big Bang's "wound-up" state.
Evolving Expansion?: November 2025 DESI results hint dark energy (DE) isn't constant; its density might be declining, slowing acceleration after ~7 billion years (your phase-change nod). This flips Einstein's CC from stabilizer to variable actor, and yeah, galaxies' "missing" gravity (rotation curves) screams for DM tweaks.
Broader Gripes: ΛCDM predates CMB precision (Penzias/Wilson 1965; full maps '90s) and inflation (1980). Weinberg's First Three Minutes (1977) was prescient but pre-JWST. Unifying gravity? Loop quantum gravity (LQG) and strings clash with quantum field theory; no winner yet. Philosophically, infinite fine-tuning (CC problem: 120 orders off) feels like epicycles 2.0.
These aren't fatal, but they're "tensions" piling up—ΛCDM fits 95% of data but strains on edges, like a suit after holiday feasts.
Standard Model: Obsolete, Incomplete, or Just Midlife Crisis?
Incomplete, emphatically. It's not obsolete (still predicts CMB fluctuations, nucleosynthesis, large-scale structure brilliantly), but it's a '60s relic needing upgrades—like adding GPS to a paper map. JWST/DESI 2025 data shows ~3-5σ deviations in key metrics (H0, early galaxies), pushing "crisis" talk. String/M-theory (your MU nod—M-theory unifies strings) float as meta-frameworks: Brane-worlds (universes on membranes) could explain FTL inflation via bulk shortcuts, and intersecting branes might birth DM particles or variable DE. But they're high-dimensional hand-waves—testable via gravitational waves or CMB B-modes, but no slam-dunks yet. They complement ΛCDM (e.g., stringy inflation), not replace it, dodging obsolescence by being "beyond Standard Model" extensions.
Your pre-gravity era idea? Spot-on compatibility fodder—many alts posit a "gravity-off" Planck epoch (<10^{-43} s) where quantum foam expands sans GR, avoiding FTL inflation's causality hacks.
Fresh Theories on the Block: My Picks for 2025's Cosmology Shake-Up
Here's a curated hit list of relevant newcomers (post-JWST, up to Nov 2025). I focused on those addressing your pains: JWST oddities, DM/DE fudges, inflation critiques, unification hints. No exhaustiveness—physics moves fast—but these stand out for multi-tool fixes. (Black hole cosmology from our last chat? Still vibes; 2025 sims link it to spin inheritance. )
Evolving Dark Energy (Quintessence/Chameleon Models): DE as a dynamic scalar field (not constant Λ), rolling downhill to weaken over time. Fits DESI's slowdown hints and JWST's early lumps (less DE early = more structure formation). Alt to your CC parallel: Explains galaxy cohesion without clumpy DM.
Supermassive Star Seeds (Tan et al.): Early universe dominated by 10^4-10^5 solar-mass stars collapsing directly into BHs, seeding overmassive galaxies sans slow accretion. Sidesteps inflation's uniformity by allowing patchy, rapid growth. Bonus: Unifies with PBH DM candidates.
Transient Singularities: Mini black-hole-like "blips" in space-time providing negative pressure (DE mimic) and gravitational glue (DM). They "evaporate" quantumly, evolving over cosmic history—no eternal dark sectors needed. Addresses spin via singularity helicity.
Evolving Dark Matter: DM particles decay or convert to baryons over time, explaining early abundance (JWST galaxies) and late deficits (no cuspy halos observed). Critique: Needs fine-tuning, but pairs with axions.
Cosmic Illusion Gravity (MOND-like Extensions): DM/DE as artifacts of modified GR at cosmic scales—extra "screening" in dense regions mimics missing mass. 2025 tests via cosmic web filaments show promise for galaxy rotations without particles.
No-Inflation Bounce (Loop Quantum Cosmology Variant): Big Bang as a quantum "rebound" from a prior contraction—no FTL needed; early expansion via geometric foam. Fits JWST's lumpiness (no over-smoothing) and your pre-gravity era. 2025 update: Bonn group's calcs shake Big Bang assumptions.
Quintessential Inflation (Unified Field): Single scalar drives both early inflation and late DE, non-minimally coupled to gravity for quantum compatibility. Solves measure problem critiques.
Sorting the Soup: A Theory Smackdown Table
To your ask: Here's a comparison, rating on 1-5 (5=strongest) for plausibility (data fit + simplicity + testability). Contradictions in red; compat in green. I grouped by focus but noted crossovers.
Compat/Contradict Highlights:
Green Threads: Bounce + Quintessence (unified scalar bounce); Stars + Evolving DM (decay from massive pops). Strings/M weave through most via extra dims/branes—e.g., brane collisions for bounce.
Red Clashes: Illusion Gravity vs. Bounce (mod GR fights quantum rebounds); Evolving DM vs. Illusion (particles vs. no particles).
Plausibility Tilt: Bounce and Quintessence lead—testable via Euclid/LSST (2026+ cosmic web maps) and CMB-S4. Illusion lags on small scales.
My wild-card idea: A "Chiral Bounce" hybrid—your naked singularity spin + bounce, where pre-gravity foam picks a handedness, spawning matter/antimatter domains (explaining asymmetry) and aligned spins as "echoes." Strings could embed it on branes. Fits JWST without inflation's multiverse baggage.
Standard model's not dead—it's evolving, like us"
