The Dead Sea Scrolls Have More

The Dead Sea scrolls hidden by the Essene Community no later than 68 a.d. brought much of the Old Testament of the Bible directly to translators today. There were extra Biblical writings with unknown prophecies by Ezekial, Jeremiah and Daniel. One may get a sense of some of the minor scribal technical changes.

The Apostle Paul is believed to have written many more epistles to churches than were saved by history to go into the Bible. Perhaps some of those might be found one day too.

Faster Than Light Neutrinos Surfing Over Waves in Space-Time Foam?

The experimental evidence for possible faster than light neutrinos arriving in Italy from CERN in Switzerland raises some logical points.

1) If neutrinos travel faster than light how could they be seen at all by sub-light speed beings or their measurements?

2) Is the speed of light measured correctly? There are some variable speed of light theorists out there.

3) Could the actual speed of light be less than absolutely precise? Could it have values rather like pi at the high end that are difficult to measure and give accurate values to that accumulate for neutrinos over enough distance to make them seem faster than ordinary particles or photons measured?

4) If photons exist as fundamental particles in an electromagnetic field, would neutrinos that do not behave the same way?

5) Would photons and neutrinos have the same spin characteristics, and could quantum qualities of each wave-particle slightly alter it travel characteristics through different mediums?

6) If space-time is discrete instead of continuous, and if all matter-energy exists as a discrete field with minute spacing in various scaffolds or structures could neutrinos skip across those possible small dimensions and shortcut to faster arrival times than other particles that exist with different space-time quantum foam dimensional field relationships.

7) Even if neutrinos arrive faster than the speed of light it might not require that they would actually have a faster intrinsic speed than photons.

Can the Bedbug Infestation Be Frozen Out?

Cimex lectularius Linnaeus; the common bedbug is a relentless bloodsucker seeking out human warmth for dinner. Would nitrogen flash freezing be a clean, quick way of eliminating commercial infestations?

Burning bedding, replacing mattresses and other stuffed items for bed bug sanctuaries with materials designed to be inappropriate for a bed bug life-style and professional anti-bug freezing missions could be an effective approach to containment and reduction of the pests.

Ultra-cold is non-persistent chemically and might not be harmful to many material items if applied carefully. It might be worth some technological research to find out if it works very well.

Romney-Jindal or Santorum-Jindal in 2012 May Be the Ticket

One wonders if the north-south combination for President & Vice-Presidential campaigns will develop amidst the Republican Party challengers to the incumbent once again. Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal (a Rhodes scholar but don't hold Oxford against him this time) is a possibly too young for prime-time 41 years old, yet his experience dealing with bureaucracy during the BP oil spill and the hang-over from Hurricane Katrina may have given an advanced course to his undergraduate political desk job as Governor.

Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum are not too insecure to have a quality player on their team. Jindal is no Uncle Tom (meaning no disrespect to all the Thomas' out there in referring to Harriet Beecher Stowe's fine 1852 classic work of literature) or as Malcolm X said 'yard nigger' for display by wealthy whites on the front lawn. Jindal may look a little too much like Prince Charles yet he is a bright guy that has enjoyed the field of Louisiana and real America while also becoming aware of global issues.

In a few years New Delhi will have a million and a half people riding its high-speed trains every day. In the age of atomtricity development the century old fossil fuel automobile technology is generations behind and atmospherically deleterious; Bobby Jindal may be able to work on the Republican side to lead the nation toward a new synthesis of personal transport and advanced mobility theory that would surpass the existing transit paradigms of gas engines or trains.

The U.S. national debt at 14 trillion dollars headed for 20 trillion on the Obama schedule needs a balanced budget in two years and payments of a half trillion a year to pay of in20 or 30 years. Each year the public pays about 3/4 trillion dollars on interest payments and gets nothing for that. The situation will only get worse with another term of President Obama.

Not only do Bush-Obama tax cuts need to expire, so does inefficient federal spending and corrupt over-use of federal programs by the privileged. Besides that, the capitalism needs reform (Adam Smith loathed the East India Company) so competition can be conserved, the world environment needs defense right away and the world population may be 10 billion in just 30 years. While no political party has its oars in the water this decade or last, a Santorum-Jindal or Romney-Jindal lineup may be the best ticket available.

Extinct Denisovan Gives Finger to Science

An extinct human species gave the finger to human scientists of today that enabled the sequencing of the genome of the closest relative to human beings that died about perhaps 40,000 years ago. The Denisovan remains were discovered in a Siberian cave.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2098113/Scientists-sequence-genome-Denisovan-caveman-fossilised-finger-bone-Siberian-cave.html

The finger and some teeth date to about 100,000 B.C., yet the Denisovans lived for about 60,000 years elsewhere in Asia. Australian aborigines and New Guineans have aboye 4 to 5% Denisovan genes

The Denisovans are interesting for many reasons. One is their timing in the human schedule of travel to America via the Bering Sea land mass. American indians did not arive here until after 40,000 B.C. by which time the Denisovans were about extinct.

Scientists have discovered remains of homo erectus in Asia dating about 1.8 million years ago. Human beings arrived in the far east it is reported in two basic migrations from about 45,000 thousands y.b.p to 35,000. Then later human beings arrived about 25,000 b.c. Those humans became the Chinese and perhaps pressured migrations across Berengia to Alaska. I would guess that American indians have low or now Denisovan genes.

Modern Europeans have 2 or 3% Neanderthal genes. Of more interest is the idea that the human line originated in Asia as homo erectus and then traveled to Africa only to return 1.8 million years later to loan money to finance the federal debt. One wonders if American President have more Neanderthal genes than Asian leaders who perhaps have neither Denisovan or Neanderthal genomic content evidently. Where are Jerry Ford quality leaders when America needs them?

The Advancing Atomtronic Research Efforts

From the ultra-cold Bose-Einstein condensates developments to more research in moving atoms through ultra-cold mediums the science of using atoms to convey information in 'tame' networks has developed.

http://aaas.confex.com/aaas/2012/webprogram/Paper5813.html

Atomtronics is like electronics substituting atoms for electrons in those circuits and other applications. Spintronics exploits the spin of electrons as well as charge, while atomtronics can exploit entire atoms in a large number of potential applications.

http://www.technologyreview.com/blog/arxiv/25197 'How to build an atomtronic computer'

Atomtronic application are few yet, it is thought they may be useful in connecting up quantum computers and states of entangled particles. Atomtronics present new ways of storing information and making batteries and work best in super-cold environments. One might construct very cold atomtronic quantum computer pure-logic circuits in some deep, cold crater on the moon and input solar power to charge it up.

One might imagine future atomtronics synthetic space systems construction of habitats of interstellar dust or whatever as information and atom processing technology synthesizes where the rubber meets the road.

Al Qaeda and Obama Administration on the Same Side in Syria?

The Obama administtration has so far seemed to back the revolutionaries of 'The Arab Spring' leaping to toss out their oppressive dictators and their concentrated wealth and power. Now that Al Qaeda's leadership have endorsed the Syrian insurgency it is a little more awkward for the administration seeming to be on the same side.

The esstablishment of a Sunni Koran belt from Turkey to Egypt through Syria, the Palestinian territories and Jordan across North Africa to Libya would create a kind of restored Caliphate like that of the or Abbasid in co-religionists, yet it would be something of a democratic social environment in numerous independent states rather than an Emirate.

Paradoxically it the the political philosophy changes in support of globalism preferred by U.S. political elites that would work to end the nationalism in the new democratic states. A logical transition would be an evolution toward an Iranian style congress of Mullahs with a Supreme Guide and perhaps local presidents of each nation as might be the developing trend in the Eurozone without of course, the any religion but godless atheism. Because rule by elites and legislation by the corrupt wealthy elites and judiciary seems to flourish in a global environment without the firewalls of nationalism the preference for creating New Gomorrahs of the American states might find the Emirate as a better political entity for corruption than independent nations.

Because modern U.S. political and economic leaders seem badly historically positioned for the development of good ideas of political philosophy that would conserve world resources and individual, politically cellular boundaries in properties of rights the administration's political context for Middle Eastern revolution may become non-interventionist or even reinforcing insurgencies that former administrations might have opposed.

Well, Isreal may not be so badly set if the Sunni Koran belt is established as it may bring a reduction or ellimination in time of terrorist cadres as conventional governments inveitably purge their ranks to seek after their piece of the global econoomic pie. The trouble with that is the recalcitrant posture U.S. Government leadership has toward being a good example themselves of the things expected or hoped for in the poorer, democratic nations.

China's best in the world economy is done with a one-party system, while America's two party democracy wobbles about piling up debt, failing in educational standards, impoverishing it's poor, polluting the world's sea and sky and establishing global networks of concentrated economic wealth and power that leave most people on the beach watching the smoke on the horizon driving by in expensive cars.
