Before a New Song ©2011GaryCGibson (poem)

Black holes tie up mass in knots
punctuation points in space
far apart

Evenly distributed in infinity mass was
with no center of contingent space to draw nigh
not even the intervals in virtual particle spacing

A drop in the bucket to inflate
space and time together expanding
faster than light oil in water

The brilliant sheen of many colors
temperatures, order, reducing from The One
singular condition of proximal expansion

A wave of space-time concentricity directed
upon the placid, infinite space-time emptiness
mass-energy tumbling like detritus in an avalanche

Stretching forever within the infinite
temporality phenomenalized, past
unraveled quarks, strings returning to silence.

President Obama Defends Libyan Faith Based Revolution

The recent Libyan revolution began without more than a prayer that either Moamar Khadafy would flee at first street protest or President Obama would eventually blast Khadafy’s military to smithereens with cruise missile, bombers and etc. In a speech delivered about ten days after the main phase of the air war started providing close air support to route Khadafy’s forces, the President defended his humanitarian intervention that saved 'thousands of lives' and allowed the rebels to leave their Benghazi stronghold to advance toward Tripoli.

President Obama has plainly made the United States the 800 pound guerilla expressing a desire to throw Col. Khaddafi over the top rope one way or another.

It is useful to review a couple of points of the President’s logic for intervention.

http://www.usnews.com/opinion/blogs/Jamie-Stiehm/2011/03/29/obamas-libya-speech-put-the-best-possible-face-on-his-policy

1) President Obama could have asked Congress for permission to safeguard rebel controlled cities with U.S. air power before Col. khaddafi9 advanced Libya toward Benghazi slaughtering hundreds or thousands on the way; he might not have required piles of dead revolutionaries as a justification to enter the war via the U.N.

2) The United States could have provided relocation assistance for doomed rebels in Benghazi with air, land and seem evacuation to safety instead of militarily intervening.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton mentioned three ambiguous points speaking to N.A.T.O. in Europe recently. Her third point of the Clinton corollaries to the Obama Doctrine of Protection for Revolutionaries was somewhat difficult to interpret. It was something like 'Revolutionary actions must be supported by change'. This point reminds me of an explanation for a justification for extending the general theory of relativity in a book on loop quantum gravity I have been reading recently.

Fundamentally, that book mentioned the metaphor of the singularity stopping the flow of a continuum such as occurs at a black hole theoretically. Such stoppage can happened when a faucet is turned off and just a drip of space-time or revolutionary change gets through. One must extend the space-time continuum of revolutionary paradigm in some what if organizing a revolutionary criterion.

That point was not well developed by Einstein or Hillary Clinton either. Fore we foresee a grab bag of revolutionary issues in the Middle East ahead that will distract from transitioning to a green, low entropy economy in the United States in addition to creating full employment or at least a minimum guaranteed income for the unemployed.

Where is the moral good, one might wonder, in failing to assassinate Moamar Khadafy if the United States administration is determined to have him go, with no place to go? Thousands of lives would have been saved and still could be with one bullet to the head of The Supreme Guide of Libya. It is difficult to understand why the promulgation of The Big Lie of public propaganda must go on, that the war machine and scores of spook agencies must have full employment and another region of conflict to engage in should be preferable, in addition to the failure to avoid loss of rebel life, failure to file comprehensive environmental impact statements for war activities-when the assassination of The Leader would be far more cost effective of lives, treasure and endangered Libyan species.

I would have preferred a peaceful transition over time as Moamar Khadafy faded away instead of a bloody, violent revolution. Technological progress would have made the dictatorship obsolete in due course it is possible.

If Moamar Khadafy seeks to flee, will the United States allow him to load up his truck convoy with 6 billion in gold and drive south perhaps to refuge in The Ivory Coast, Liberia or some other African nation? Realistically, when Hillary Clinton demands that Khadafy leave, she is demanding that he suicide, for like the former East German Leader Kurt Honaker, he has no where on Earth to go.

Melting Antarctic Icebergs Stimulate Phytoplankton Growth/Chlorophyll/CO2 Absorption

Global warming that may accelerate the loss of ice in Antarctic may be a last line of defense against global warming. Nature seems to have several built in elements to moderate global temperature. It would be wise not to overuse the last ecospheric reserves to absorb carbon dioxide and reduce atmospheric greenhouse gassing effects from human causation.

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/03/110325164224.htm?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+sciencedaily+%28ScienceDaily%3A+Latest+Science+News%29&utm_content=Google+Feedfetcher

In the world's history the atmospheric temperature is believed to have risen significantly before. Also it is believed that high temperatures caused by greenhouse gassing from odd sources such as excessive volcanism or perhaps a thin planetary proto-crust moderated eventually. Temperatures would tend to reflect the primary relationship values of distance from Earth from the heat of the sun, and there may be other factors such as heat from the Earth's hot subsurface in effect too. Just because the melt water from Antarctic icebergs may promote sea plant or phytoplankton growth, it doesn't mean that it will compensate entirely or even mostly for the lowered albido (reflectivity) of vast land mass areas in the north as winter and snow cover decreases annually.

In fact, it seems unlikely that the increase absorption of CO2 caused by the loss of ice from Antarctica would even compensate for the increasing loss of coverage of the Arctic ice cap annually with the increasing heat absorption of the Arctic Ocean.

Square Roots of Minus Dimensions ©2011 GaryCGibson (poem) & Resurrection Points

The neo-Platonist philosopher Plotinus wrote about how The One might have emanated the Universe. Actually the creation of the Universe is a great mystery for finite minds. Cosmological physicists think about the topic all the time though, and sometimes irreverently regard the sketch of order of Genesis from the Bible. We trust in God though for creating Universes more than ourselves. Scientists regard its origin sometimes as a substance that just naturally arose from nothing and/or without cause in some cases finding mathematical logic to support a recycling perpetual recurrent universe.

I too wonder how the One might have created a Universe that arrives as a great tree of life. The idea of the unmoved mover seems best; the Creator of the Universe Himself has no cause as He always existed. Without the mathematics that provide so many excellent sets, infinite series, differential and integral fields to structure models of Universe from I am left to poetics and prose.

Jesus mentioned in John 11 some interesting points when he set about resurrecting his dead friend Lazarus. Before I write my poem below, let me point out what Jesus said about the light not being in man.

The friend of Jesus had died, and Jesus talked of the light not being in man hence he stumbles in the dark. Jesus was addressing four or five points simultaneously it appears. He was talking about the problem of sin in mankind (people had sought to stone him) and referring to those people as being in spiritual darkness who did not see the light of the world (God) Jesus Christ, and he was also referring to his dead friend Lazarus who had not life in himself any more (a lack of quarks or strings configured to produce life), furthermore, being dead, Lazarus could not negotiate in the world beyond without resurrection. That was a hint of the spiritual world to come in which actual spiritual resurrection occurs better than physical resurrection such as would be done for Lazarus soon.

John 11" 1Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.
2(It was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)
3Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.
4When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby.
5Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
6When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place where he was.
7Then after that saith he to his disciples, Let us go into Judaea again.
8His disciples say unto him, Master, the Jews of late sought to stone thee; and goest thou thither again?
9Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world.
10But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him.
11These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.
12Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.
13Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep.
14Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead."

Then we move to the scene of the resurrection of Lazarus. Jesus actually wept in this setting-the only time He is known to have done so as he felt so bad about losing His friend to death. This is good. It indicates that God took seriously the issue of the death of a human being, and knows that resurrection is important to us humans.

John 11"
33When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled.
34And said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see.
35Jesus wept.
36Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him!
37And some of them said, Could not this man, which opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not have died?
38Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.
39Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead four days.
40Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?
41Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me.
42And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.
43And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.
44And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go."

Square Roots of Minus Dimensions
Seven dimensions
fully expanded with many screens
filtering waveforms travelling through
appearing in some places never dreams
providing anticipated shapes
regular material forms
unto shorelines of three dimensions
motion of space a forth norm
Mass hasn’t light within
Finding darkness forever he stumbles
-unless the light of the world resurrects
his life breath he fumbles
Many dimensions ever could be
groups and subgroups of infinite series
wavetrains journey an infinite sea
clumps of forms afloat temporally shine
Square roots of minus dimensions
multiply themselves by one
generating synthetic positives
from a mid-point of eternity
seeming like modal logic of The One.

Stumbling Upon A Theoretical Universe ©2011GaryCGibson (poem)

It is as if the man has neutrino vision
or something better than quarks
able to see through boundary walls
into other Universes

Those hidden universes beyond nothing
where the tiny little dimensions
wrapped like sugary scones vanish away
and beyond jumbo extra dimensions
next to dimensions greater or less than
all dimensions in SU(3) groups

The Universes from one source
stuck in a perpetual motion recycling ruts
linear thinking warped impossibly tight with space-time
gravity and pre-gravitational clusters force
seldom released faster than light speed
with so many things unknown to sub-light speed dimensional beings

A vast tree of life and non-life
with circles, arrows, vectors, tangents, sines and consines of change
integers, imaginary numbers and things real enough
to be road maps to chaos where all turn away from singularity
like infinities of finite sets divided forever in every direction
scenarios that seem like dreams
with remote controls fading away
the structures of universes extrude into thought
as information from outside compiling
anti-Shannon entropy.

Japanese Nuclear Facility Leaking Radioactive Water-May Be a Reactor Containment Vessel Leak

In the future it might be useful to build some kind of competent global emergency nuclear plant response plan to pump out radioactive water into a specially designed ship instead of screwing up the world's oceans. Using the oceans as a waste dump isn't really acceptable policy.

http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/03/25/us-japan-idUSTRE72O5QL20110325


Also, some sort of a special emergency super-coolant deliver capacity to cool off over heated reactors quickly and respond to removing the reactor to some safe place like the inside of a volcano might need to be developed. Plainly the present technological methods for responding to nuclear emergencies don't work well enough.

Radioactive waste, British Petroleum oil; industrial toxic contributions are becoming a regular thing for the world ocean.

Pressurized Yemeni Leader Moves Closer Toward Exit

Yemen's leader has offered to leave with strings attached.

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/26/world/middleeast/26yemen.html?partner=rss&emc=rss

The economy of Yemen as its comparatively small oil reserves dwindle to nothing could modernize to a winter resort for yachts on its fabulous southern ocean frontage. Yemen's Mohmadanist extremists conditioned to desert life may choose to support terrorism instead and maybe find some oil work in Saudi.

Extremists against solar power, desalinization of seawater, hydroponic gardening, electric cars and fuel cells are also against some right and wrong moral things. The rest of the world has such issues too. It would be good if the occurrence of moral arguments did not inevitably displace innocent economic progress.
