About Black Hole Cygnus X1 and It's Magnetic Field That Polarizes Light

Space.com reported on discoveries about the behavior of light around the edge of the giant black hole Cygnus X1. The light should be formed as polarized by a very strong electro-magnetic field probably created by the 18 mile wide black hole.

The behavior of matter and light near a black hole is interesting for numerous reasons including what can be learned about fundamental forces of nature such as electro-magnetism, 'massless' photons, the properities if any of space and behavior of quarks and other sub-atomic particles near the presence of a very powerful gravitational field. Gravity is the most weak of the three major forces of nature in the standard model of physics (the other two are electro-magnetism or electroweak force and the strong nuclear force) so it is especially interesting when concentrated in places such as a black hole.

The power of gravity I suppose being one-directional with all that mass it just keeps crunching everything inward. That doesn't actually make a lot of sense, since space hasn't got any directions to it, so gravity perhaps locks of mass in such a way that it can't have a reverse at a certain point.

Faith is Required for Passage of a Federal Budget

Citizens observing Congress might disagree with a recent NPR claim that ‘there is no place for faith in the chaos’ of Congressional budgeting. That sounds a little like an untterance from an apostle of atheism. NPR probably has faith that the Democratic majority in the Senate will restore the half billion dollars of NPR funding that the House cut. Maybe they will lever all they can to pile on the support for globalist radio even so.

Full faith and credit in the value of the U.S. dollar is what keeps it afloat. Faith that the U.S. Congress will at some point return from their fiscal binge of protracted foreign wars and failure to focus on developing U.S. infrastructure instead of outsourcing work must exist if the members are not to despair.

Faith is what is required to overcome the chasm of uncertainty. Lack of confidence in one’s ability or in that of one’s fellow citizens can bring one to fail to cross the high bar of ecological economic national revitalization. Faith is what allows people to begin projects of vast scale and meaning when there seems little hope for success, or when the light at the end of the tunnel hasn’t yet become even a distant light in the darkness.

Congress must have faith that they shall overcome drinking the wine of the wrath of economic fornication on Wall Street and Iraq and restore sound judgment about the right role of government in democracy. Democratic representatives are not supposed simply to be yes men that say ‘let the market do it’ to every possible task they should work for themselves. One cannot suppose a market to decide what the condition of externalities to their for-profit activities should be, government cannot rely on market chaos to select what their security situation should become or who ought to provide it if anyone.

Passing a federal budget requires faith that God has provided a natural law and a spiritual inspiration that can be discovered. Pursuit of the intelligent, the good and beautiful, a health ecosphere and citizenry in government as well as life requires good budgeting of time, energy and financial resources. Congress must have faith instead of cynical despair in their fellow congresspersons and themselves that they can pass a balanced budget at some point in this lifetime or in that of their children or children’s children. They must suspend their skepticism and disbelief in a positive sum strategy and work for the social good. Bright ideas and intentional reform can occur in the U.S. Government-and they mustn't lose faith that such things might occur even in their own lifetimes.

Does President Obama Plan Cheap Oil Communist Utopia for Libya?

Down the road when the New World Order reaches Tripoli what sort of a redistribution of that country’s oil wealth will take place? Logically a nation with just one basic natural economic resource distributes its value equally to all citizens. The desert oasis ethic produces either equal portions of water to all or all water controlled by one authoritarian power (e.g. Col. Kaddafi).

Karl Marx and primitive European communists believed that wealth was manufactured and redistribution of products renormalized to a fair synthetic economy should occur, yet in a society with just one natural resource and lots of desert a communist government need never occur. Instead, people take their cash and go about their independent lives as libertarians. Distribution of wealth from the poor and middle class to the rich as wealth concentrates is another way that redistribution of wealth can occur such as presently in the U.S.A. through e-networking and inherent market advantages.

The trouble of defining distribution and redistribution is an ongoing issue in America. In fact we know the United States will not permit the bad example of a prosperous commune to form in Libya, so some veiled form of authoritarianism is likely to arise in the future. Libya has the situation of redistributing past wealth and distribution of present oil value before it. Nations without oil or with more than one rich natural resource should not try cash commune libertarianism at home.

The United States hasn’t itself solved the meanings of distribution or redistribution that primarily differ temporally; redistribution pertains to past production and distribution to present and new production. It is always fair to set new and more just distribution policies for social opportunity to accumulate wealth.

That is beyond the scope of this comment on what President Obama plans to make of Libya besides perhaps a chaotic political mess. Maybe the Libyan will become reconfigured into Jeffersonian liberals with enough propaganda from CNN or Al Jeezera, yet I am skeptical about that. Maybe the region will become as stable as the economy of the U.S.A. is with expert management of the U.S. budget and ignorance of the national interest in transitioning to a low entropy ecological economic policy-such a transition would likely require 25 years.

Pentagon Mouthpiece Says U.S. Will Continue to ‘Pressurize’ Libya

Pressurization is something like war. U.S. military flights flew 175 missions the past two days. Air Force General Margaret Woodward has coordinated the military liberalization of Libya with the full menu of million-dollar apiece missile entrées. Inflating Libya with military pressurization, the rebels of Libya may enjoy President Obama’s rich military attention. Yet they might expect some sort of pay back for the military pressurization in the future.

The disorienting leadership of the internationalist President Obama waging an out of country conflict while the incompetent congress can’t balance a budget must be somewhat amusing for the President who finds himself leader of the hapless lot of idiots pursuing global wealth while forsaking their own real national interests. That occurs in the decadent Universalist phase of an overly expanded nation-state.

The United States like ancient Rome began with the advantage of comparative isolation and security and borrowed brilliant innovating leaders and ideas from a previous civilization-then it prospered.

Eventually though the nation became a world leaders and expanded beyond its base losing its security and flooding its realm with global leadership. The rest is history; Rome fell and became a backwater subject to other powers of the world for the remainder of its existence unto modern times.

The military at least prosperous n the declining phase of decades or centuries taking a third of the federal budget. Sailors and marines can buy up the homes that are foreclosed upon by global lenders, and the unemployed can marvel at the high salaries of E-1s and observe four-stars moving into six and seven figure management jobs at defense contractors after ‘serving’ the people of the world ‘pressurizing’ foes of the Pentagon.

President Obama Opens Third Spatio-Temporal Military Front; Libya

With just two hours notice to congress President Obama opened a neo-proxy war last Friday to end the Kaddafi regime of Libya. The President has been running his little sideshow from a working vacation in South America for several days using ‘blackberry control’ for micro tasking his globalist wrath via the properly priced powers of the Pentagon.

The President didn’t call the donation of an air force and cruise missiles a war obviously. It was the establishment of a Col. Kaddafi’s Government no-fly zone in order to benefit the Rebel forces of Libya. At what point the rebels are rebels for protesting or firing a weapon at the Libyan army hasn’t been made clear.

Some sort of standard rules for determining who are or are not legal combatants might be useful if one believes such legalities are not mere anachronisms. In a legal context in which community law supersedes written law Leninist ends-justify-means principles seem to be in effect.

Some Americans still like plain legal demarcations and explicit social recognition of civil rights. Without equal and universal civil rights the government can readily becomes an enemy of the people of a nation domestically and for-others.

Modern methods of war and social lack of concern renders such preferences moot in some instances beyond posturing before the reality T.V. cameras of war for ratings.

Recently butched up U.S. military forces protecting the new gayzites of Liberalism-the potential plays on words are endless with an integral calculus of change-must bring about some sort of results in administration logic. One may wonder what the changes will be in Libya in years ahead.

President Obama seemingly has opened a destabilized state of affairs for Libya that could last a decade. The present civil war might go on for months or not. Regardless of the time it takes for the issue to be decided, it is unknown what sort of a government will emerge from the wreckage.

A Libyan government that is free and democratic probably will be too weak on secret police activity to repress terrorists. Suicide bombing may develop as a new Al Qa’eda of Libya arises to vie for power. If the government is genuinely democratic it may not be able to repress Muslim terror planning, and if not, it may liberally permit terrorists to plan attacks on Europe and the American east coast from its territory. Though these concerns are obvious, the new investment of time required to act for security in a newly destabilized nation fairly close to Europe and the U.S.A. is not.

In choosing to enter a third Muslim nation with antagonistic military power the administration has afforded an opportunity for Muslim propagandists to claim that America is a crusader nation bent on converting Muslims to the free market and consumerist atheism. That charge is difficult to refute.

What kind of non-Euclidian political calculus actually goes into U.S. foreign policy intervention planning is unknown to many. While the U.N. may have ordered the engagement to save civilian/rebel lives as an alternative to evacuating them by land and sea, the destabilization of Libya by removal of the Kaddafi government may endanger American lives in the years ahead.

If the duty of a U.S. President is to enact the will of congress and defend the United States, he has apparently done neither of those objectives in his Libyan venture that he says he will turn over to the participating powers in a few days…I am sure they will be very happy with that.

Presidents Washington and Eisenhower each had farewell speeches warnings of permanent foreign political alliances or engagements, of the dangers of a standing military or of the military industrial complex.

U.S. foreign policy opening up protracted and costly military actions in Muslim nations may involve a kind of Euclidean solid compiling and configuration strategy involving color and composition of uncertain parameters and variables. Domino theory was one games theoretical approach to nations, boundaries and war in 20th century politics. The U.S. administration needs to do better than that today, and lead an energy and ecology policy for economic effectiveness far better in quality than the military deployments choices that also lead to financial deficits and bad economic and ecological development examples for the rest of the world. The building blocks of international relations model shapes can be put together in a greater range than politicians seem aware of.

Opening the first conflict of the pentagon’s ‘Butch’ era of openly gay military ‘servants’ with a defense of Ben-Gay-zi Liberaliya seems somehow apropos for the confusion of U.S. roles on military and economic interest in the world today. At least Democratic Rep. Coup-sin-itch said that it might be an impeachable offense. Maybe Congress should pass some kind of law regulating foenetics.

Mathematical methods for modeling nations and political force interpolation abroad that require less military and more intelligent engagement are requisite for a U.S.A. fit to meet the global challenges for today and tomorrow.

Gravity and Photons

If gravity was like light
its particles scattering in all directions
from a source to flow with inertia across space
issued in a valence level at fixed speed
gravitons would issue in all directions
shifting frequency approaching or receding
effects would not be focused
to act upon distant objects equally as near
primary gravitational sources diluted with distance
inverse square laws, linear equations
becoming integrals of unknown areas of force
concatenations of mass never out of touch
imperfect circumstances for learning
such as experimentation on the affects of galaxies 20 billion light years away
only empty space in the midst and nothing beyond
differentials of theory
spheres of mass in four dimensional all-directional stream criteria

On Faith

I thought I would write a note about faith. Reading an interesting book on the historical development of select fields of mathematics I reached a place where the author commended Descartes method of philosophical introspection for first principles of knowledge. He suggested it as being exemplary of a method for self-help.

I enjoy reading philosophy and the meditations on a method have stimulated generations of people to consider basic assumptions about experience. Yet the axiom suggested; taking nothing on faith, seems implicitly invalid; this is why…

Experience of the world implicitly presents itself in structure. Today we might reduce our description for causation of the structure to physicalist processes relating to quantum theory; however it is at any rate structured and therefore heterodox in nature. One’s own conscious experience exists of a structured reality not generated by one’s own thought.

It might be popular for some moderns to suggest that a tabula rasa like existential appreciation of reality is requisite for making decisions about belief and subjective epistemological relationships to things external. It isn’t necessary to be so far existentially isolated in making myriad practical judgments about the world and of religious matters inevitably. Not all questions about faith in God or faith in Jesus Christ occur within a subjective, existential criterion though it may be popular to convince people that it is the case.

Let me provide a few examples about practical questions of faith compared to an abstract, existential paradigm for contemplating the meaning of faith.

Example 1-You are alone on a small, wet, cold island in Alaska with dwindling supplies. You have no batteries for communication devices and food is running low. A winter storm may occur so looking for food may be a good idea. A week before the fellow that dropped you off on the island said that he would return today at eleven. You have faith that he will return on time and so pack and are ready at the landing site instead of foraging for food somewhere else.

Example 2-The Japanese Army has invaded the Philippines. You are a local with a libertarian political philosophy the Japanese would repress. An American General evacuating the Philippines says ‘I shall return’. You have faith and fight the Japanese as an insurgent from the jungle with faith that one day the General will return to reinforce the resistance. Without faith, the prospects for resistance might have seemed futile.

3) Two thousand years ago a UFO visits the Earth and an alien named Morty gets off. Soon he instructs the villagers of a remote desert collection of ramshackle dwellings that someday in the distant future he will return to bring desalinating equipment in order to help make the production of fresh water and lemonade possible for less cost than rival villagers sell it for presently. All he needs now is the sacrifice of some barbecued goats to fuel his vehicle.

The villagers provide the goat meat and the alien departs in his UFO. A cult of faith develops that lasts quietly in the village for two millennia. It is not unreasonable for the villagers’ descendents to have faith that the UFO will return as promised with their water making equipment is it?

Example 4- A anthropologist is alone in an African jungle walking to a village. Suddenly she is aware that millions of army ants are moving her way. She walks faster and soon reaches a small ravine at the bottom of which is a crocodile infested creek.

There are two planks that cross over to the far side of the creek, and two men telling her to cross over their plank safety. One man accuses the other have being a deceiver, and that his plank is rotten and a death trap for western anthropologists. The other man is humble, and says he paid for the plank himself, knows it to be safe, and the only thing he charges to use it is faith.

The anthropologist chooses to have faith and crosses to safety before the woman eating army ants reach the barrier.

Example 5- Jesus Christ arrived on Earth about the year 3 B.C. and at age 30 began a three year ministry to evangelize the people of the world with the good news that He is God. If people have faith that He is God and paid for their sins with the sacrifice of His own life-and accept Him as their Savior-then he will take them unto heaven eventually and eternal life reconciled unto God the Father.

In other words, Christians are to have faith that Jesus Christ really plans to return to Earth one day, or otherwise liberate them from the bondage of mortal life and the problems of sin and evil. Faith that Jesus Christ will return is not an abstract intellectual or philosophical construction instead of a belief that a real man who lived at a particular moment in history actual was who he said he was, overcame death with resurrection and will return to wrap up his mission-to-Earth at some point in the future.

Faith in Jesus Christ is a belief in a particular individual and trust in His word.
