Comment on Cosmological Content

Peter Woit wrote a book titled 'Not Even Wrong'; many physics ideas haven't enough predictions to be falsifiable. One doesn't threrfore regard them as correct. Using science to try to refute spiritual ideas is a specious practice as it leaps beyond its own careful, rational, measured data structures. That sort of work won't even get a refereed article past the editors of Physics Journal B.

The natural selection process for promoting scientific theories was not always what it was today. Experimental science was more highly valued for much of the history of science, perhaps until Einstein's work was confirmd. In the 20th century particle physics and accellerators had more prestige than theoretical physics.

I was reading a book on VSL recently, and the author pointed out some of the conflict between Leibniz, Mapertuis and Voltaire regarding the relationship of material determinism of a universe generated from a first cause. Voltaire-a believer in God within a causal Netwonian paradigm did not at all appreciate the optimalization drift away of Leibniz and Mapertuis with the potential for uncertainty or change from pure determinism of physics.

The recent rise of theoretical physics has tended to follow from astronomical observations rather than from pure theory, or at least to have developed in parallel to it. Many theories of cosmology exist today concurrently, and the challenge is perhaps epistemological in entertaining them all simultaneously in thought rather than in dethroning one such as string theory. Einstein beleived the Universe was static, Hubble discovered the myriad of extra Milky Way Galaxies and then proportional doubling of distance and recessional velocity yet he had no idea about the expansion of space.

Zero-dimension membranes are not sillier than magnetic monopoles. Monopoles seem a logical contradiction though, since a magnetic field has a vector and going in one end (attractor) it is on the other end continuing on as a repeller. If a monopole simply attracted it might end up a black hole, and if it was a repeller it would soon exhaust itself. Within the Plank era there may have been many bizarre states that became feedback mechanisms for the expansion of space-time later even offsetting the validity of the conservation of energy principle.

Boycott London Olympics Until Malvinas Return to Argentine Sovereignty

The Monroe Doctrine updated and applied to the Malvinis could restore Argentine Sovereignty to those islands held by imperial power. Bringing peace and international stability to the occupied archipelago would bring Great Britian closer unto the brotherhood of mankind. Imperialism is successful fascism that rots away through decolonization.

Defending the Mallvinas from possible BP oil spills of the future can better be accomplished with a secure Argentinian democracy guarding the islands settled first by the French although discovered by the Portuguese. The Spaniards and later the Agentinians long lived in the Malvinas, while the British presence left following the U.S. War of Independence.

No Scientific Evidence Exists to Support Atheism (poem)

Nothing leaps from the summit of set theories
to expand ideas into everwhere
whereas days pass the meanings from shapes of perception
mathematically descriptive of changing patterns
constantly providing more to marvel over
constructions in being and time

Without evidence of no creator
the event process of Universe is an enigma
no answers defining absolute parameters of nothingness
that ranges beyond beginnings

An eternal field of uncertainty
providing forms formed from self-defining criticality
fullness that emerges as surrealistic landscapes for research
crumbling with information loss conserved as dissipation of time
dimensions struggling to twist and turn waveform particulates for perceptions

No evidence of atheism exists
persuasively trans-infinite number series are abbreviated
without beginning or end
as if they were within a field of an eternal god
breathing life into beings with coherent mechanics
evolving forever into a kaleidoscope of changes
appraised and reworked by a Designer.

Int. Law Should Ban A.I. in Combat Robots

Not to far in the future individual combat robots will take urban then suburban and rural battlefields. Instead of sending a Marine through the door in some village looking for insurgent weapons caches a combat robot with ncamera eyes, better than human hearing and bullet proof bomb sniffing capability will knock on the door and enter the abode of potential death. Because of the threat to humanity of independently thinking machines with combat abilities shouldn't all those walking machines be operated by human beings as remotely piloted robots only?

None of the combat robots even if just armed with a machine gun should be able to function independently with an artificial intelligence system for anything other than walking about instructions equivalent to an autonomous nervous system. The robots should be cephalic idiots that collapse without a human operator.

Computer chips allow inventors to make 'god bless you' speech novelties with celebrity voice for use in public when someone sneezes, an lets designers make programmable optical recognition scanners that can read certain fields on a paper and disregard others. Designers of combat robots need to be restrained on finding clever things to put into the programming housing unit of killing search and destroy machines.

Racial Profiling and the Martin Case

The cry for an end to racial profiling by policemen in the Martin case profiles the neighborhood watchman as a police proxy in error obviously, yet the demand that cognitive profiling end amidst law enforcement agencies is on the surface a demand for the end of intelligent thought; for human cognitive processes work by associating and classifying images and ideas or behaviors.

Inaccurate judgment does no one any good. Self-deception about ideas and corresponding referent object truth produces fundamental incompetence in human social environments. Plainly social organizations may use false operating premises named by the late philosopher Jean Paul Sartre 'use truths', and that colonialist practice should halt in order to give all citiizens equal protection before the law (where it exists).

Most citizens are interested in efficient, quality and fair law enforcement itself obeying the laws rather than going whoring in Columbia and brawling about the prices to be paid for services to federal officials. Human psychology has developed not only with increase of brain size from avoiding watching too much television but also from better data processing of content input. Average people tend to want to just function without much philosophical thought. Human beings are specialists that want a dogmatic social conduct in which they are rated best in show, and don't want to change that.

Profiling is a macro-structure of the way the human thought sorting and processing works. It is questionable that it should be gotten rid of, instead courses in philosophy for law enforcement officers might be provided that stimulate critical thinking and recognition of formal logic.

Faith Isn't In Retreat

The historical development of science had many individuals working as clerics that made substantial contributions. In the age of feudalism the Church was a refuge for sundry intellectuals that were not aristocrats. Notably in England aristocrats made contributions to scientific advance.

Many people that had little choice besides religious structures were no longer compelled to enroll when secular opportunities developed after the reformation. That was the normal course of social progress. Progress does not always bring good order, decency, justice or right reason although the term progress generally is used to mean 'better' or 'advance'.

Marx had attended a religious seminary, and Stalin received Orthodox Church schooling, and those were two examples of a retreat from faith.

Trotsky's term as General of the Red Army during the Russian Civil War brought him to make many observations about military actions including his own aboard his train h.q. Isaac Deutcher wrote a good biography in three volumes. The godless atheists were an entirely secular flight from Orthodox religion closely associated with the ruling class hierarchy. The Tsar named the Metropolitan now and then.

There is a perennial effort to free Christian ecclesiastical structures from the worldly secular hierarchies that have too often dominated it. Some believe that a priesthood of believers is the right structure with an egalitarian liturgical form. The early friends church in America was something like that, where people met and talked in small groups.

The spiritual war between good and evil is a perennial phenomenon that will continue until the end of days. Christians and philosophically minded Christians have the opportunity to focus upon the Bible and study God's Universe cosmologically speaking without so much trouble from authorities and orthodox opinions on areas not covered in the Bible at all. Average people in the church like average people everywhere have a characteristic of wanting to have a concrete doctrine, method or structure; a religious approach to anything that they can simply repeat without thinking about anything philosophically. That dogmatic approach can perpetuate wrong ideas, yet the social war to liberate society from control by elites and class collectives is also a perennial effort.

There are numerous explanations available for about anything today-many of them wrong of course. The book above cited is a newer publication on computer-enhanced explanations in an age of explanations.

Christians and Jewish scholars of course may dive deeper into contemplation of the meanings and compositions of the Bible-and try to understand better its content meaning. Modern formal logical progress, analytic philosophy and archeological research as well as science generally have enabled a well of additional understanding of the Bible era for those actual interested in understanding.

Contemporary atheists have made an industry of attacking the Bible of course, as if disproving some straw man arguments or refuting the Bible might in some way provide a proof for atheism. It would do that no more than refuting the Ptolemaic System of Cosmology would provide evidence for Quantum Gravity cosmology.

Christians may leave their own concerns about doing the will of God, and having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ through faith and the Holy Spirit's grace, to venture into explaining things for secular purposes as if they wanted to be educators in secular settings-however that was more for a time of the past-a distant past, whereas today they might simple provide a good moral environment for education absent of the raving depravity a little, if possible, that seems to be a goal of American leftists in order to reduce population or taxation.

Probably the better course is for inclusion of such philosophical inquiries into the Universe in a curriculum that isn't dogmatic in order to overturn some of the illogical grasps of atheism toward marginalization of faith and people of faith socially. Cosmology is a fascinating topic.

God probably had some practice or practical experience before issuing the process of the eventuation of this Universe. He may have created a trillion trillion to the infinite power of Universes already, and decided to leave this one the way it is for a while without too much direct interference. With practice one develops a calm about tempestuous Universe management I would guess.

Archeologists have discovered huts in Jordan circa 22,000 b.c. Human civilization seems to have arisen in the Middle East and it seems an appropriate place for Jesus to have appeared on Earth to set a new foundation for humanity to function in spiritually until the consumers and producers destroy the world or most of its population in a hundred years or two as some futurists regard as possible from global warming if nothing else.

Liberating Black Holes for Mass and Energy in the Future?

(unscientific speculation follows) In the Universe mass under the influence of gravity shrinks down to smaller and smaller structures such as neutron stars. In a black hole mass may shrink down even further to become quark holes, strings or membranes of one dimension. Yet if no one is presently certain of what gravity is besides the apparent effect of space curvature and time dilation of mass attracted to mass from the solid state level, it is not assurred that mass would not convert entirely into space-time curvature without leaving anything remaining as mass.

Space-time curvature may require a certain quantity of mass to occur. The energy converted to space-time curvature might be another equivalence of mass and energy times the speed of light. Flattened space-time energy may expand (dark energy) while gravitationally transformed space-time may contract. In the Universe there may be much space-time that is unbound from significant curvature and it could have a finite or infinite energy value.

Gravity may be an apparent effect of the entanglement of quantum particle probability waves that tend to interact. Proportionate increase of mass entanglement attracts mass toward mass. Mass sublimating into space-time curvature has the potential to become a black hole.

In the future scientist might be able to transform and release the space-time structure of a black hole converting it back into energy and mass. As the Universe draws down over trillions of years towards heat death it might be a natural resource used to recharge creative stellar synthetic fields locally.
