Global Population May Have Reached Ten Billion Humans Already

 Apparently social scientists have been under-counting the rural population of the world by 50% to 84% for quite a while. Forty percent of the people of Earth live in rural areas, so 50% of that is 20% of the population.  At least that much isn't counted on surveys. With 8.2 billion being the official number for the population this year, that means there may be more than 10 to 12 billion people on Earth already.

Democrats may seek to find a way to let those billions move to California in order to win elections.

Singularities Aren't All Created Equal

 Physical inferences and all other human thought apparently originate in the physical universe. There have been recent photos published by the Atacama Telescope, that went out of business in 2022 ,that show the early universe as it appeared 13 billion years ago. That is interesting for numerous reasons.

One I find interesting is that matter and anti matter canceled themselves out after those properties first appeared from a probable singularity. CP invariance let a very small percent of matter survive the renormalization That mass is primarily what appears in the photos, raising the point that it should be possible to calculate from the observable Universe then how much matter and anti-matter was in the singularity.

Singularities are not all equal in size and gravitational power. Time occurs differently in singularity if it exists at all. That is good because time only started with the release of matter/antimatter from the singularity with hyperinflation. In reverse though, the fields that were unified early on before expansion needed yet to have gravity to keep the singularity together, and the gravity particles existing below the plank length (if at all) at a certain minimal size of contraction turned off when the Universe became smaller than gravity field mesh. If the Universe as a singularity at that point became smaller than the gravitational field that contained it, it might have escaped like water through a fish net.

Maybe an area like this is a region were physics and metaphysical questions coincide, for there are more vectors to consider than may be addressed with arbitrary constraints on fields of inquiry. Time would follow the shape of fields unified and configured within a singularity and differentiated as it changed with no necessity for a direction of time that was uniform unless the physical shape of the singularity upon parole was uniform.

Black holes and singularities are consequences rather than appearing from nowhere. Existing mass need contract into a singularity before it may escape. The conundrum of what came first; the chicken or the egg, appears to fit singularities too.

Make America Competitive Again with High Speed Rail Coverage of Western Hemisphere

 China's Belt and Road initiative is developing rail service all over Central Asia among other developments in order to provide direct access routes for trade from Iran to Pakistan, Afghanistan, Russia, Holland and many, many more locations. China's economy will have raw materials including oil that can travel by land rather than by sea. The U.S.A. has no comparable rail network linking Alaska, Canada and South America directly with high speed rail for passengers and freight.

The Chinese economy already is the largest in the world and has the most international trade. To make America competitive in the future, much less great, the entire Western Hemisphere continental land masses need to be brought into a unified high speed rail transportation system, possibly using electro-magnetic powered lines above and below ground (for instance tunneling under the Panama canal).

Presently the United States cannot get even a basic high speed rail line built between Los Angeles and California. President Trump has cut back funding of fast land transportation ventures supported by government; failing to unify North and South America in a very fast high speed land rail system probably will harm the U.S. economy down the road. If water is the best way between several regions of North and South America then it is just as practical to send trade to Europe and China by water.

Rambo could drive a burning arrow through a bullet hole through and through his gut to cauterize it without suffering; he enjoyed being tough. Others emulate that (until it hurts). As a sign in an employers place read; "The beatings will stop when morale improves".

Reality as a Continuum

Reality may appear as a continuum, or something that continues temporally even though time may be an illusion created by membranes or some other field phenomenon moving past. Time may be more relativistic than one thinks; it may be so relativistic that, unified with space, it hasn't an independent existence.

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c4geldjjge0o

The continuum may exist solely in the physical as one might logically expect since people are just a tiny part of a large structure and cannot see the end of it in any direction. Humanity are large clumps of quanta themselves embedded in the Higgs field and given a third dimension instead of being massless two-dimensional quanta that could become part of a sentient being if time were ever to be and become.  https://youtu.be/tc7LpJswIZU

One Shouldn't Get All Misty About Below the Plank Length Alternative Realities

The Plank length is nothing more than a unit of measure. Plank wrote... “it is possible to set up units for length, mass, time and temperature, which are independent of special bodies or substances, necessarily retaining their meaning for all times and for all civilizations, including extraterrestrial and non-human ones, which can be called "natural units of measure".”

Physicists have commented that the Heisenberg Uncertainty principle and additional factors make it impossible with quantum mechanics to determine below Plank’s unit of measure the location of a particle. That is meaningful in case gravity has an origin below that length. There is nothing about extra-dimensions or extra-universes hidden below the plank length, if any, that are known.

A wikipedia quote; “The term Planck scale refers to quantities of space, time, energy and other units that are similar in magnitude to corresponding Planck units. This region may be characterized by particle energies of around 1019 GeV or 109 J, time intervals of around 5×10−44 s and lengths of around 10−35 m (approximately the energy-equivalent of the Planck mass, the Planck time and the Planck length, respectively).”

Gemeni Avoided the Math of Calculations for Relocating Planets

I  asked Gemini several questions about relocating Europa to a safe place closer to Earth and finally pairing it with Venus in a binary orbit. While not quite a nattering nabob of negativism, Gemini was pessimistic about the engineering to move planets because techniques to do so haven't yet been invented and published. 

https://suno.com/song/50d96a2f-e641-4b3f-99f7-d7d11d2e2996?sh=ku7xalI9zsAPqMDv

There should be a little how to book with dozens of techniques. It seemed it didn't want to do the math. Maybe the free version eschews calculations of  that sort; something to be aware of. It did write this however...

"The idea of having Europa and Venus orbit each other is a fascinating thought experiment, but it presents significant challenges and considerations:

Potential Advantages (Theoretical):

Combined Resources:

Venus has a dense atmosphere rich in carbon dioxide, while Europa has abundant water ice. Combining these resources could potentially create a more habitable environment.

Radiation Shielding:

Venus's thick atmosphere could provide some shielding against radiation, which is a major concern for Europa.

Orbital Stability (Potentially):

If the two bodies were carefully placed in a stable binary orbit, it could theoretically provide long-term stability.

Significant Challenges:

Orbital Mechanics:

Establishing and maintaining a stable binary orbit between two bodies of such different sizes and characteristics would be incredibly complex.

The gravitational interactions between the two bodies, as well as the Sun and other planets, would need to be precisely calculated and managed.

Temperature Differences:

Venus has an extremely hot surface temperature, while Europa is very cold. Reconciling these temperature extremes would be a massive engineering challenge.

Atmospheric Differences:

Venus's dense, toxic atmosphere is vastly different from Europa's near-vacuum. Creating a habitable atmosphere would require extensive modification.

Relocation Energy:

Moving both Venus and Europa to a suitable location and establishing a stable binary orbit would require astronomical amounts of energy.

Tidal Forces:

The tidal forces exerted by each body on the other would have to be calculated, and accounted for. These forces could cause extreme geological activity.

Planetary Protection:

If Europa has life, contaminating it with earth life, or venusian materials, would be a huge concern.

Feasibility:

Currently, this concept is far beyond our technological capabilities.

It would require breakthroughs in gravitational engineering, propulsion, and terraforming.

The energy requirements alone would be staggering.

In conclusion:

Therefore, while it is a fun concept to consider, it is not within the realm of possible engineering for the foreseeable future.

While the idea of Europa and Venus orbiting each other is intriguing, it presents immense challenges.

The orbital mechanics, temperature differences, and atmospheric disparities would be extremely difficult to overcome."

Mind is Under-Appreciated

 Robert Laughlin, a winner of a Nobel in physics published a book named 'A Different Universe; Reinventing Physic from the Bottom Up". He described consciousness as an emergent property from the field it exists in as a fundamental phase change. The inference is that the Newtonian sort of causal relationships and the ability to predict the determined future based on the present positions of all known elements of the construction that is the Universe, if that were possible, would not apply to the human mind. Mind is a different than material phenomenon. People underrate and under appreciate how marvelous it is and the way that it differs from thoughtless mass. https://suno.com/.../67d4b343-b219-41f5-8c72-1fa6be8c20be
