Much Extra-Galactic Light Quantified by Fermi Gamma Ray Telescope

The Goddard Space Flight Center at N.A.S.A. released data and images illustrating discoveries by the Fermi Gamma Ray Space Telescope. Gamma ray emissions made in Blazars-vast black holes at the center of large galaxies that emit jets of gamma rays outward as matter drops to the event horizon enable astrophysicists to determine the amount of extra-galactic light emitted over-all by the stars created during the history of the Universe.
Cosmologists believe that photons first escaped a very hot plasma field 300,000 years after inflation and that the first stars formed 400 million years later as gravity collected enough hydrogen together to let fusion occur and some helium to form in the well known fundamental fusion process that is only .007% efficient.

The Fermi Space Telescope observed light attenuated by age and travel that was emitted 9.8 billion years ago. Astronomers calculate from the data that stars average spacing inn the Universe is 4,150 light years apart. Yet it is also known that the matter of the Universe is generally spaced like filaments of a web or lattice filled with vast empty spaces without known matter as the practical consequence of gravitational attraction.

Matter is an interesting thing. Human beings are themselves mostly made of nothingness with vast spacing between the electrons and protons around which the electrons orbit. The orbit of particles such as electrons around a nucleus is created by the appearance of a wave with a frequency oscillating by the attraction of other forces balanced out in tow or more dimensions inward and outward.

Mass jitters at the smallest known scale. The jittering of quantum uncertainty is different from that of the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle that is more about the interference of observers in making measurements of sub-atomic particles. Quantum jittering or high-frequency oscillation (I guess) is what what allows motion, or is motion and change in all mass.

The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle is concerned with the problems of measuring the location or speed of the wave at a particular location. That makes it seems like a particle when it is probably a wave. A wave that orbits as a line around a nucleus though might well be regarded as a circle or loop however with oscillations or frequency. On the other hand, tracking the history of a particle traveling at the speed of light continuously corrected by attraction of its course inward by the momentum to go in a straighter course outward, if it travels near the speed of light over a short enough distance would make it seem near enough to being a continuous looping wave.

The behavior of gravity at the macro scale warping space-time is comparable to the behavior of orbiting force-protocols of sub-atomic particles I suppose. Because a particle oscillates and seems to be in different locations at different times, time exists. Time is obviously a characteristic of motion and allocation of forces in protocols from small to large and in shape and size from Higgs Bosons unto planets and black holes.
The interesting thing though is that it is the being and nothingness of a universal field that contains all potential space-time and Universes or multi-verses that is the mystery or enigma. For with one appearance of differentiation from God diving being from nothingness or oscillations of force anisotropy the generation of the host of particles, mass and space-time becomes existent.

One certainly wonders about the phenomenon of determinism at the subatomic scale. The wave-particles seem to be force quanta allocated within determined strengths because with more or less increments or power they would annihilate or spin off someplace else. If there were no uncertainty or oscillating jitter in the quantum field nothing at all would happen nor would matter form, yet if it were in any way random neither would anything be likely to exist.

Human thought is entirely determined yet intentional subjective behavior and change is possible as an innate event-process. The elect of God are in conformation with the determinism of the Universe toward His purpose.

Scene 4: Inventing Content for the Hyperbook

 The scene in which a science fiction author designs content for a new book might occur with the traditional paper book morphing into a book with pages that collect photons for recharging, has transparent and flexible blank pages that display content uploaded from implicit storage. The book pages would be as programmable as any video display screen. The reader would buy just a book or two of different sizes per decade and binding might store thousands of titles to fill out the pages as desired.

The programmable book would have the traditional ambiance and full size, lasting display qualities of hard and soft cover paper books without wasting forests. Adobe PDF format ebooks could be a model for content that would fill out pages with traditional pagination (numbers, font, size, paragraphing, illustrations, photos, etc.

In the hyper-book one would never make the error of judging a book by its cover since one would choose the cover for-oneself. The cover would be as programmable as the content of the book. The science fiction writer would liberty for different concerns such as how to represent quantum indeterminacy in three or more dimensions on two-dimensional pages.

E.S.A. Image of Glacial Action in Martian Past

The European Space Agency's Mars Express orbiter is returning some good pictures of Mars. The image below is a computer enhanced synthesis designed to show perspective of mountains and a volcano that were scoured by glaciers in the remote past. I have posted a photo of an Alaska glacier below for comparison.

Hot Air of Obamanomics Attempts Inflation of Bush II Policy Balloon

 President Obama has continued George W. Bush's economic policy since 9-11 of tax cuts and deficit spending to pump prime the economy. Reliance upon kindling to start a fire can be expensive when there is nothing to burn besides because the wood wasn't chopped. The U.S. economy may have a hard time catching fire with so many drafts, constraints and dangers to the environment and its resources from that internal engine of combustion.

President Bill Clinton's intelligence failures led to the sacking of Glass-Steagle and the rise of Moslem terrorist threats to the U.S. and eventually 9-11. President Obama continued that failure with his present foreign intelligence team in Benghazzi and depleted the intellectual capital inherited from the Bush II years that developed the capture of Osama Bin Laden and wrapping up of the Iraq troop deployment.

It is President Obama's continuation of G.W. Bush's economic policy of tax cuts and deficit spending that is the major threat to U.S. economic stability ahead. Perhaps there will be a natural readjusting downward economic collapse ever decade or two cycling the deficit spending based economy.

With the immediate economic slump in the U.S. following the twin attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon the two wars against Iraq and Afghanistan stimulated the U.S economic without being paid for with increased taxes. Like Obama deficit spending the wars were economic stimuli added to the U.S. public debt. President Bush did not know of the flimsy Clinton era reforms of banking and home mortgages well enough to anticipate better than most Wall Street forecasters that the U.S. economy could not survive the economic stress of two wars or tax increases. President Bush cut taxes to stimulate economic growth and in December 2010 President Obama was the head cheerleader for renewing the Bush II tax cuts for the remainder of his administration.

With twelve years of deficit spending to stimulate and economic that transitioned from bloated no-competition defense contractor outlays to quantitative easing (printing dollars to buy U.S. bonds) with trillion dollars annual federal budget deficit the U.S. economy cannot even keep pace with population growth in job creation or environmental inspiration. The hot air of deficit financed growth paying down trillion dollar annual federal budget deficits is a failure to recognize the continuity of an economy misfiring since 9-11 that needs fundamental reform and a different economic approach.

I would like to point out that the United States could be a leading example in showing how democracy and team enterprise can lift all citizens out of poverty rather than circling the wagons around a declining middle class attacked on all sides by their own lack of political intelligence. A real perpetual democratic revolution in the U.S.A. would renormalize from the growth of large stable and ad hoc elitist organizational hegemony to one of individualistic enterprise and legal egalitarianism. The United States should assure that no citizen lacks the basic food, transport, shelter and minimum cash income needed to get the citizen out of circumstantial economic whirlpools of oppression that cannot be escaped.

The pursuit of enlightened self-interest and the concurrent pursuit of happiness require that individuals have the actual opportunity to do so. A modern democracy should limit the size of corporations and the number of corporations an individual can invest in to let government and political expression per citizen be more meaningful. The broadcast media should be reallocated to individual citizen podcast slices. If the media at the time of the revolution were owned by just the rich it is probable that less support for the revolution would have developed.

For democracy to mature as a political form it must trust its own citizens enough to not feel a need to repress them in place trough economic oppression. For many modern intellectual enterprises economic stability is required even for basic ventures such as writing computer programming or other intellectual capital development investments of time. If an author must go without electricity and live in the stone age of a yurt annually his or her productivity will decline-and that's simply socially extravagant profligacy.

If the United States cannot mature in governance to reform democracy such that it really works for all citizens (and secure no-immigration borders are requisite of rationing governance) it isn't likely that any nation shall. The citizens need to be encouraged to be active, healthy and intelligent all of their lifetime. They should be able to be reactive to environmental challenges and arrest the decline of life on Earth. U.S. citizens should also have the intellect to create better lifestyles and dwellings without displacing the ecosphere in which human life coheres. If the United States cannot run a balanced budget and improve the lives of their citizens from the bottom up then who can?

The down side of being a nation of immigrants is that they can be fair seas sailing opportunists steeped in avarice that flee from significant changes and challenges that require if not sacrifice at least diversion from unreasoned consumerism. If the economy and environment are in decline in then U.S.A. well heck, why not just invest over the border?

One Theory About Too Much Government

There have been many theories about too much government being the problem for American economic health. Sometimes that is so, sometimes it isn't. The neo-narco state of Mexico has too little governing law enforcement in some respects, while a Soviet style state of insider party apparatchicks can be too much obviously. It is not only the quantity of government that is an issue, it is also a matter of government quality and orientation.

Petro-state governments have a cadre of insiders with cynched earnings from oil sales. The width of the dispersion of wealth may be decisive on the economic opportunities of the masses.

Government jobs in a variety of forms may be broadly available to many purchasing in effect social compliance and legions of followers with no interest in getting their head from under the hood of the machine especially if the resources are high and population low, and especially if there are opportunities for global corporations to outsource much of the natural wealth as the locals have been paid off. The insiders need to limit competetive private sector developments to maintain their power structure and a happy camp develops including payments to educational facilities and revenue sharing to municipalities. That social structure is intolerant of actual competitive economic development.

Some may regard the development of oil and gas resources in the U.S.A. recently through fracking as a movement toward pertro-statehood and the alternative economic development retardation that follows. A nation of oil followers burning fossil fuels moving toward 500 p.p.m. of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere globally seems a phenomenal trend. Instead of intelligent political leadership the nation since Bill Clinton has moved toward corporate statehood-even the Premeir of Communicst China's family has taken billions of dollars in lifestyle enhancement evidently as the urge to surge toward resource consumption and pure material production without intelligent limits has corrupted many social ecosystems.

Too much government can occur without a petro-state though. Simply building up state unions and bureaucrats with too large of numbers can require that very little social changes besides enhancing union benefits occur. The primary goals for ad hoc bureaucratic socialism arr to redistribute wealth from the corporate world to government workers, dependents and contractor friends. Too much redistribution can be a daylight vampire predation upon the corpororate herd of course bring low economic growth and high unemployment as anemia is pervasive.

We know though that government is an ad hoc networking in several respects these days. Bill Clinton's termination of Glass-Steagle let the People's Liberation Army buy in to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac so many Americans can pay rent to the Red Army for being such nice landlords indirectly. They were tolerant of all the mortgage defaults and have stayed with the Federal Government through these hard times.

Too large of corporate size in wealth and employees works against competition and free enterprise. Social organization from communist parties to corporations let social collectives become intimidatingly powerful over the rest of the unaffiliated citizenry. The solution isn't to end corporations and take away their status legally as individuals since some social corporate structures are necessary for larger and complex economic projects to exist. The right direction to take, and one that is unliked by government or corporate sectors would be too limit the size of any corporation to 3000 employees and the number of corporations that anyone could invest in to three. If large development structures are needed it would be possible for temporary corporate relationships to develop to produce faster than light widgets or whatever.

To restore competition and to prevent the large organizational inertia that resists economic changes because of vested interest and cynched lifestyle mass social organizations of a private nature in business should be limited in size. Government without being wrapped up in spirals of interaction with too large size businesses might be able to downsize itself and perhaps, one day become responsive to real environmental and demographic challenges the nation and world face while yet searching for general social justice and equal protection of the law. Petro-states tend to function like soft authoritarian states where the rule of law is second in value to keeping class interests dominant over the state.

Language Exchanges Increase Membership

It seems like a good idea-going online to converse with someone in a language you are learning. At the University of Alaska S-E. a group of students traveled to Cuba to learn some Spanish recently-it would have been less costly and air polluting to just go online and talk with people directly. The exchange below has a million members.

http://www.mylanguageexchange.com/

There may be improvements in the software that will make casual conversation work as effectively as playing chess at chess.com with selections of language level and number of minutes to converse face-to-face with various topic choices. If I need to learn a language to communicate with those with vast social distance in government or media I may consider using 'the language exchange'.
