Hannity Reported on Trump-Carney Meeting

 Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney was brave enough to face the dragon in his lair and talk with President Trump. Fox news is a good enough source for what the administration thinks about things. Obviously one should find more than one source to learn about many topics. 

Donald Trump is a brash natural sort of politician, and that isn't easy to encounter by some professional politicians used to spinning nuanced b.s. in order not to lose votes. Sean Hannity made a video on the meeting and described P.M. Carny as a leftist. He used the global warming concern as evidence for the P.M.'s leftist orientation and described global warming as a hoax designed to let government take the public's money.

Mr. Hannity might try not to sound so much like the uneducated on environmental issues- global heating isn't a hoax. One needs to be really ignorant to fail to understand the concatenated effects of 8 billion people acting on the environment. Populist low-brow conservative yippie dispositions just makes things worse; each American reportedly already as about a teaspoon of microplastics in their brain. Imagine Lysenko as environment chief, that would be the hoax. Mr. Hannity is right to be worried about censorship in Canada of course. Freeing the U.S.A. from Democrat party censorship was one very positive effect of the Trump administration.

America doesn't need Canadian water for the S.W. It would be easy to make lots of freshwater by desalinating saltwater through evaporation and condensation using the sunlight of the S.W. I would be annoyed at the lack of creative industriousness if Americans invested in bringing water from Canada instead of manufacturing it themselves. All that need be done is to use solar power to pump water from the Pacific to the continental divide along the Mexican border roughly, ans let in spill downhill in canals covered with transparent material that would collect evaporating water and let it flow down the sloped roof to twin fresh water collecting canals running back to the Pacific and Gulf of America. Obviously there would need to be many dams or locks along the way. Environmental engineering is an underutilized resource generating option.

Quantum Field, True Vacuums and Phase Changes

 I am somewhat intrigued by the idea of a true vacuum existing before the start of the Universe that had quantum fields in it. The paradigm of a true vacuum existing before the start of a Universe implies that some sort of quanta exist in a true vacuum too. Virtual particles that aren’t really particles,  just being disturbances in a quantum field, arise for some reason. In present theory the best guess is that some virtual disturbances exist eternally- even when nothing else does. Lots of room for speculation about spirit in that paradigm.

It does make sense logically that the Universe of mass and energy we live in doesn’t occur in a true vacuum. A true vacuum should have nothing in it one might think, instead of being filled pervasively with various sorts of fields including gravity and electro-magnetism. Perhaps that line of thinking prompted some physicists to research the concern that sometime the Universe could experience a quantum phase change and revert to a true vacuum rather than a false one. 

The false vacuum hosts all of the entanglements of quanta in a Higgs Field- the Higgs Field is regarded as existing before the Big Bang- before gravity, strong force, weak force and electromagnetism. Alternatively the Higgs unrolled from the initial state of virtual disturbance simultaneously and allowed the Unified force to exist through it even with inflation faster-than-light (light not existing yet and gravity not unbound enough for a split second to slow expansion or draw mass together when not much mass had begun to exist.

The Higgs boson is an excitation of the Higgs field. It is an elementary particle that can decay into gluons and quarks yet it does so through the Higgs mechanism rather than breaking up into other particles. Perhaps the Higgs boson returns to forever and its disturbance knocks gluons and quarks into being (I don’t know). This is interesting information. I believe the inference is that all of mass and energy is produced temporally by the Higgs field phenomenon including gravity.

That idea isn’t new. Some popular cosmology books described that sombrero hat analogy paradigm in the late 1990s wherein the true vacuum is the most stable and low emery state of the Universe and that [recently the Universe is stuck at a higher level of vacuum. What has changed are research methods to investigate that paradigm using qubits and quantum computers to model the way a phase change could take place. It doesn't seem like an evolution; it happens everywhere all at once. Plainly the science has a long way to go yet it is interesting to speculate about when the quantum fluctuation that kicks off a sudden complete collapse of the soufflé of a Universe to its lowest and true vacuum state will occur.

Western Leadership Failed to Adapt to the New Post Cold War Russia

 The military industrial complex of the United States was conditioned for more than a half century to regard Russia as the main adversary. When the Cold War and Soviet Communism ended most of the American establishment failed to adapt to the change and to engage positively with Russia. Fundamentally they transitioned from anti-communism to anti-Russia.

Russia did move toward being a free enterprise country. It largely ended communism although elites and government made property rights rather exclusively. Without heavy western investment in Russia that conditioned worsened in the sanctions era. Even so Russia has one of the lowest corporate tax rates in the world.

Russians and communists are different. There is no reason to regard Russians differently from anyone else when the communist burden is removed and continues. Russia sought to reform its society, create an income tax (the Ukraine war helped with that as it did Abraham Lincoln during the U.S. Civil War). And establish institutions including government for a democratic society. With N.A.T.O. expanding eastward and the loss of Its Ukraine properties and hegemony over Ukraine the development of democracy in Russia was put on hold. War loomed with the west. Russia looked to its former communist brother in arms China for help and found China more than willing to move their relationship closer since China wanted to keep communist supervision and authority over its partially market oriented society.

The failure for western leadership to adapt after the Cold War to the new Russian political reality is costly. Toynbee observed the challenge and response nature of leadership of civilizations. Toynbee could have included adaptation in his formula paradigm as well. The west in effect has driven Russia closer to China, and has strengthen Chinese leadership because the west refused to adapt to recognition of Russia as a worthy, friendly potential fellow travelers in freedom, free enterprise and national security, Since Russia is not fascist or communist the de facto position of western leadership to Russia is racist (reductio).

The failure of American leadership to adapt to the new Russia (with some notable exceptions like Donald Trump) may cost the west dearly as it

Determinism and Free Will May Share the Same Space-Time

 One can have free will and determinism concurrently. It is not one or the other. There are multiple levels of protocols for freedom to act within. Some are determined, and others are not. Computer programs may be written that way for example. The Universe is itself contingent and emergent being- determined in some parameters and undetermined within others. It is challenging to guess accurately about God's pre-knowledge of quantum structures and relations. Presently scientists even guess about what consciousness is and how it arises.

Priorities of Pork Chops and Mirrors (a poem)

 

Slim brackets and parenthetical recalcitrance
set in tall, dark forests where shadows roam with wolves
wild skyhooks to other worlds and futures
bear stripping the skin of salmon
peacefully
crunching down time
oysters plated
mushrooms sliced expertly
to adorn coldly created
pork chops of privilege

  Electro-magnetic stairways to heaven
sold by the pound with orbital threshold cannon shots
a thundering steed loses the doctor to a low branch overhead
that scythe awaited  fate
girders erected to be demolished
beryllium dampeners absorbing the neutrons of them all

  Life of a zillion zebra striped insects landing on a sailboat
driven offshore to rest a moment
zebranomics kicking at the goads
inventions budding with springy steps
giant leaps across a moon of reflective thought
pockmarked landscape of pogo sticks
past tense littering the silliness of war
where no-reason is the entry to death-of-others
bullets shot through gelatinous bags
to accurately measure the meter crossed
in time to stop

  Each point of a wave
-in fact an infinite number of points
was confined to one dimension of a line
slithering sinusoidal dancers
collapsed for the wave function 
whereof one cannot speak
thereof one must be silent
like the night before photons
before the Word spoke into darkness
that comprehended it not.

Don't Be Surprised if Zelensky Attacks Moscow May 9th

 Just so people won't be surprised that aren't following the war, Ukraine Martial Law President Zelensky is planning an attack on May the 9th to soil Russia's World War Two Victory parade on 9 May. President Trump could only suspend U.S. Intelligence and support to Ukraine to defrappe the likely attack.

President Trump apparently doesn't understand that Ukraine's war leader who has plans to bring women, young and old people (over 60) into battle readiness is simply playing him for time. He utilizes the 'how do you keep a Turkey in suspense comedic tactic'  to stall for time to let Europe and N.A.T.O. members have time to resupply Ukraine with weapons. 

Sweden for example is sending a pair of flying radar platforms and other jet fighters to let Ukraine coordinate better against Russia offensively and defensively. Zelensky already has U.S. supplied HIMARS and ATACMS that have ranges of a couple hundred miles more or less, Patriot missiles etc. Zelensky hopes to continue the war as long as possible and to bring the world to war if necessary to keep from needing to concede any land already lost to the Russian reconquista.

Zelensky has developed Neptune cruise missiles (a pagan name choice) that is launched from an advanced location might be able to close the 600 miles from Ukraine to Moscow. The Ukraine air force has F-16s that could launch Taurus KEPD 350 cruise missiles supplied by Germany or Sweden if they surreptitiously supplied Zelensky with several. Britain has said they would supply Ukraine with Storm Shadow missiles. Several weapons systems exist for F-16 that can travel more than 300 miles. So a jet flying low protected by Swedish radar might get close enough to launch a few ground hugging cruise missiles.

The question is how Russia would respond? They could nuke Kiev and Stockholm yet that probably isn't in the cards to play yet. Zelensky hopes to provoke Russia into retaliating in a way that will invoke a N.A.T.O. treaty response including that of the United States. That is why I wrote this post; so a few people would be aware of the lunacy of the European Ukraine war situation and to be squared away in case civilization ends after a global nuclear conflict May 9th-12th.

So long as President Trump support Ukraine militarily in any way Mr. Zelensky and European N.A.T.O. members will continue to press forward. The obvious realistic way to end the war is for the U.S. to quit supplying anything military to Ukraine, to stop negotiating with Ukraine, and let the war play out. President Trump could let it be known that he would resume a negotiating role if Ukraine agrees to several stipulations that Russia would be happy to accept, and then a cease fire could be implemented. It only takes one bad judgment or mistake to cascade World War Three into blossoming. One of the bold new N.A.T.O. members leaping to sustain and elevate the conflict militarily- like Sweden, or even old members like England liking the power of driving the Russians back farther east and using the U.S. in a Master-Blaster way to further British interests, could misunderestimate its position and Russian response and spark the fire of nuclear holocaust. Russian might tend toward overestimating the U.S. and N.A.T.O. response to a decision it makes to retailiate against some N.A.T.O. member for sending missiles to punish a weapons and intelligence supplier because if N.A.T.O. gets involved that does mean nuclear war. N.A.T.O. seems badly structured for preventing nuclear war. It was better at fighting some NAZI-style invasion without facing an adversary loaded with nuclear weapons. It is not surprising that the Cold War 1.0 ended peacefully since there was no rational alternative. Modern N.A.T.O. swells forgot the lessons of history that allowed the survival of global civilization.

President Trump did get a minor official under Zelensky to sign off on a Ukrainian minerals deal. Yet that could be fools gold since the U.S. probably would be required to defend the mines as Russia is on the verge of capturing them-especially around the City of Pokrovsk. So Zelensky played Trump into supporting him militarily in exchange for a mess of pottage in effect, since the mines were to be lost anyway. The contract says that the United Stated could get some money after ten years and if the Ukraine Congress approves it, maybe.

The Brits are spinning the deal as a move for peace. In other words it puts the U.S. in a position of being on the front line of a war to defend financial interests. It was maladroit timing. If that works out positively I will be quite surprised.  Ukraine announced victory in the battle for Pokrovsk several hours ago. That must be because the U.S. decided to get involved there. In fact the Russians are closing in around Pokrovsk forming a giant, methodical effective encirclement starting with advancing closer and cutting off supply roads etc.

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-minerals-deal-ukraine-russia-b2742685.html

The minerals deal should never have occurred because it is one of those escalations of a conflict through the greed of a third party. Perhaps President Trump becomes myopic when money is concerned. Of course it would be good if Ukraine could repay the hundreds of billions it got from U.S. to support its war with Russia. The war though is more than about money or even land; it is about Europe's will to have power and hegemony over Eurasia and it could well reach the point of the final war of civilization. There is no clever deal that will solve the problem.

Black Hole Information Loss Paradox Solved?

 Physics is always changing, as Heraclitus might have observed, in contrast to Parmenides who said nothing changes. Of course equations made on the foundation of GR may be wrong if GR and that space-time paradigm turns out to be wrong as some physicists speculate. I don't believe that black holes have ever been observed to evaporate to nothing yet since it takes several trillion years approximately. Thus in effect a mathematically consistent account in a particular paradigm has been found to work, yet it is nonetheless just a theory.

 Einstein was brilliant man of his era. It seems to many that there definitely is a lot more to the Universe than GR and the unified space-time paradigm. A deeper account is going to be found. Of course there are many candidates for that already that also seem less than decisive and final. Some believe black holes are connected via quantum tunneling to white holes, and if that is so then any information going to another universe or place would be lost in the present Universe of origin and instead end up someplace else- perhaps in offshore accounts in the Cayman Island Galaxy.

As I understand it there is no real wave function collapse- that is it is rather a mathematical and measuring result of the math of calculation. The collapse is mathematical. One cannot measure the speed and location of a particle simultaneously; the measurement occurs at a particular place, and the particle is not moving or speeding at that location. The particle is really a sample of a wave and the measurement at a particular place figuratively 'collapses' the wave to be measured as a discrete particle. 

Perhaps its comparable to the way a particle or structure can have no dimensions from some reference frames and one or more in others. Superposition could be the infinite number of hypothetical places beyond the point particle location a wave could be. Entanglement might be accomplished by massless information shared via a lower dimensional primeval two dimension host Universe supporting the existence of four dimensions. Who knows? 

 Personally I believe God has all the information and no information is lost except that God wants erased.
