Dark Matter, Dark Energy and the Big Bang

Not being constrained by the errors induced in the dyfunctional mathematical model that approximates but fails to converge on a General Theory simultaneously with Quantum theory, I propose the following, though it is probable that these ideas have all been proposed elsewhere, I have not been exposed to them to the best of my knowledge. 1. Quantum Entanglement is nothing less than a wormhole between two small entities 2. The visible Universe, with its clumpy appearance can be compared to the near field of a radio frequency emission. Where the far field equivalent of the universe represents a uniform organization of matter-energy such that it appears 'empty'. 3. The far field of the universe contains the majority of the total matter, or dark matter 4. The dark matter in the far field of the universe gravitationally tugs on the near field matter accounting for an acceleration of the near field matter outward, currently described as dark energy. It is noteworthy that this would also explain why matter toward the edge of the near field universe is accelerating at a rate faster than matter toward the middle of the near field universe. 5. The cause of the Big Bang, a thought experiment. A sufficiently large black hole, far larger than a super massive black hole, or hyper black hole, fed on the matter of a universe. Like all things in the universe it spins, but the force of gravity competes with the centrifugal force. When sufficient mass and gravitational condensation converge, (perhaps when the surface of the hyper black hole achieves a rotational speed at its surface equal to the speed of light) a perfect balance is reached between the centrifugal force and the gravitational force. With the least of hawking radiation, balance is now lost and a swing toward centrifugal force is achieved resulting in the sudden decomposition of the hyper black hole. Matter flying away from the surface of the hyper black hole drags away matter in centrifugal equilibrium, resulting in an ejecta en mass from the hyper black hole that in a chain reaction gravitationally pulls apart the hyper black hole.

National Health Care

National Health Care sounds like a fine idea. I have seen and heard much debated on the topic. I can't understand how a country as diverse as the United States can be expected to fairly achieve the goal. Before we decide we will have a National Health Care program, don't we have to identify real sources of funding that then become the basis for constraints on what National Health Care will cover? Do we cover breast implant or Viagra? Do we cover stroke treatment on a 70 year old patient? How do we treat terminally ill cancer patients with a low probability of treatment success? We live in a land where someone can put a cup of hot coffee between their legs, get burned, then sue to company that sold it them! We live in a country where people spend thousands to treat their pets, then eat hot dogs for dinner! Once a National Health Care program is created, there will be a general expectation that the poor should obtain benefits equal to the rich. Benefits equal to our humble public servants in Congress and the White House. Our country will bankrupt itself a trying to meet the demands of a population of takers. The nature of the American character must change before we will be ready for a National Health Care program. We must become a nation of grateful supporters, giving of our means for the benefit of the community. It is the easy way to say "I deserve" "give me", but that is a childish attitude that is contrary to successful civilization. When President John F. Kennedy said "ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country." he summed up the problem. Of those asking the country to provide health care, how many are willing to settle for less than the luxuriant health care that Congress enjoys? How many will give up their lives when the time comes, to preserve the financial well being of our nation? Can Congress lead by example; have they ever?

Solving the global warming problem

Between the Earth and the Sun is a place called the LaGrangian point. I is a place where the gravity of the sun precisely equals that of the earth. Sadly, this aprticular Legrangian point is of the unstable ilk (sort of like balancing on a bike when not moving. Still using gyros and a minimum of thrust, it can be done.

At this place in space, let's create an enormous umbrella that can be opened and closed to controll the amount of sunlight that arrives at the earth. This is the ultimate in climate control.

Perhaps a large electromagnet could be used to control an enormous cloud of iron dust (or other les heavy metal) for the purpose of creating a space cloud that filter out a small portion of the suns rays.

Life as we know it, or Platinum Pellets

Imagine that some body once was smart enough to create a DNA strand that had the following attributes:
1. It was capable of exploiting its own genetic mutations due to the constraints of comsic radiation
2. The math within the DNA was sufficiently elegant an complete that it would, in conjunction with the above mentioned mutations, evolve into life sufficiently intelligent as ponder its own origin.
3. A moral code, or "conscience" was embued upon most of the resulting mutations such that the life that evolved had a tendancy toward civilization for the purpose of perpetuating the opportunity of continued evolution.
4. The nature of probability and evolution was such that give enough time and enough space (independent evolutionary opportunities), the full purposes of that certain "some body" would be acheived.

As for me, I hope there was a "some body" My desire to see my children and grandchildren succeed and know happiness has transformed into a desire to see all people succeed and know happiness.

Finally, it would be nice to know that life had an opportunity to perpetuate itself, even after the demise of mankind, the solar system, the galaxy...

To that end, I advocate seeding the universe as we know it with platinum or carbon pellets that contain select microbes. Perhaps microbes from the thermal vents and from the deep mines in South Africa or the ice in Antartica. Encapsulate some of these microbes in the platinum/carbon pellets for dispersion into space.

The pellets could be made cheaply relative to human spacecraft and could be taken into earth orbit, then propelled at high velocity toward distant stars and galaxies with the possibility that some of them might arrive another world such that the course of evolution might start again. Thus, the peretuation of life and the hpe for human society long after our Sun dies out goes on.

The 5th through 11th dimensions

Want to conceive of additional dimensions? Einstein added time, but I would break time down into several other components. These dimensions don't exactly "curl in" on themselves, but require time as a way for us to perceive them, but with time being relative, or fictional with respect to the whole, I don't think time has a real contribution to the proposed dimensions, but it is useful for humans to conceptualize the dimension.

The familiar dimensions, UP/DOWN, LEFT/RIGHT, BACK/FORTH are straight line based, with Einstein tossing in TIME as the forth well known dimension. It seems as if every other conceived motion could be described by some combination of these three. Nevertheless, if we accept that gravity can "warp" space, then even a one dimensional vector can be warped to another dimension, but relative to the vector (it does not detect the warp) it does not know that "from above" the vector appeared by virtue of a gravity well, to traverse multiple dimensions. This is important because it demonstrates that dimensions are relative. Therefore here are some relative points that describe curled dimensions.

Let's "uncurl" some dimensions that cannot be described by the traditional dimensions alone (they require the motion components).

The fifth dimension is a vector described by unraveling the path travelled by a point (a place on earth) due to the rotation of the earth. The sixth dimension is "vector" described by unraveling the trajectory of the earth about the orbit of the sun. The seventh dimension is the trajectory described by the solar system's trajectory about the milky way galaxy, the eighth, ninth, tenth and eleventh dimensions are similar to the three traditional dimensions and time (or motion reference), but describe the motion of the galaxy within the universe.

Bad Mutual Funds

Mutual Funds are bad for Americans. We all want our Mutual Funds to earn high rates of return for us. We justify the return because we 'risk' our money in the fund.

In the mean time, our friends and relatives are getting laid off, working more overtime, and generally turning into stress-buckets. Of course, while employed they're feeding the 401K Mutual Fund machine.

What's going on with that 401K Mutual Fund? Well, they take money from tens of thousands of Americans and buy really large quantities stocks in US corporations. Of course, the Mutual Fund Manager, who may be with the fund from months to a few years really only has one objective. Make money this quarter for the quarterly bonus review and payout. So, that manager, using the leverage of thousands of individuals money can leverage large stock purchases/sales to persuade the CEO to drive for quarterly profit, at the expense of long term planning.

So while we employees wonder what the Corporate big-wigs are thinking when they down-size, demand OT, fail to invest in R&D and Capital equipment... The CEO is turning the money saved in the short run over to the "stockholders" who now happen to be Mutual Fund Managers. Who, by the way, sell the shares after the quarterly dividend payout driving down the worth of the shares that our companies compelled us to buy through a Company Match in corporate stock program.

And we plow more money into Mutual Funds, 401K's, IRA's... all of us hoping to get rich... working desperately longer hours for less while the CEO and the board of directors take handsome bonuses in the face of dismal news on the corporate front.

Yes, this yarn contains contradictions, however, some of it rings true... and makes rational sense out of otherwise apparently irrational acts.

Moral: Invest in stocks of sound companies and eschew Mutual Funds!

RF ID's and the American Road

Some day in the future all automobiles will have electronic id tags built into them. If your car has LoJack or OnStar your car already self identifies. Soon though, all cars will have this feature and when they do...

Have you ever been stuck in a traffic jam for an hour only to come upon the scene of an accident caused by some reckless driver? Imagine that you were able to identify the driver as you drove through the accident scene. Further, imagine that you were ID'd yourself as you drove by... So, we have a party subject to being found guilty in court, and we have thousands of motorists all of whom have had their time taken from them by the guilty party. We know who is guilty, and we know who has been impacted and for how long... we have the grounds for a class action lawsuit! The reckless driver can now be sued on behalf of thousands of claimants all of whom have had their time robbed from them so some fool could himself get home a little bit quicker. The idea of paying $50.00 each to thousands of people would become quite a deterent to the reckless driving speeders of the world! Suddenly, waiting in a traffic jam isn't so bad after all...

ASPCA files lawsuit against AKC

American Society For the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) files lawsuit against American Kennel Club (AKC). The suit, filed in the Federal Court of Common Sense claims that the AKC, by issuing AKC papers (official registry of a canines bloodline) only to dogs born of pure bloodlines is encouraging the genetic destruction of the very breeds it seeks to promote. Siting German Shepards, Golden Retrievers, and Rottwielers as breeds with a pre-disposition tok genetic defects, the claim states that an ever increasing percentage of dogs of these and other breeds are living with the pain of their genetic birth defects, or in some cases, even being destroyed because of their birth defects. Johnny Katz, of the ASPCA stated “The irresponsible position of the AKC is based on the self sustaining nature of their for profit business, rather than the well being of the dogs that they claim represent. The worth and beauty of a dog is not incumbant upon its pedigree, rather it is in the number of square feet in the home that an owner dedicates to the beloved pet in proportion to his or herself.” In response to the filing, Mai Hip Hertz, spokeswoman for the AKC replied “If Mr. Katz had his way, we’d all be living in dog houses, whilst our pets used our beds as bathrooms.

Clearly, the impending court case will outperfrom even Johnny Cochran’s performance in the OJ Simpson trial.

Osama Bin Laden Surrenders to Syrian Authorities

In in joint press briefing conducted at the Ministry for Economic Development in Syria, Osama Bin Laden announced he has turned himself over to Syrian authorities for inciting violence among Syrian youth. The Syrian Minister of Economic Development stated “We will imprison Osama, for many of our children have died having been incited by Osama Bin Laden to fight in foreign wars. However, we will not extradite him until he has been tried and finished serving his fifty year sentence that we are planning, I mean he will get for his crimes” When asked why he turned himself in Mr. Bin Laden remarked “The Bush Administration had made it increasingly difficult to obtain worthwhile munitions, so in an effort to adapt to the US willingness to actually act against terrorism, I am going for the soft underbelly of America” Osama was hesitant to say anymore, but after several bottles of Ozuo he babbled on like an idiot…” From my estate, I mean prison cell in Syria I plan to inspire and finance tens of thousands of lawsuits against American corporations for everything from obesity (McDonalds) to cancer (GM, Exxon, General Mills). I believe I represent a sympathic majority in Europe and among Islam, am can legally raise hundreds of millions to create legitimate court cases to tie up American courts for decades. It will be a few hundred million dollars for us, but it will cost the US many Billions of dollars to defend against the lawsuits. The US taxpayer and consumer will have to bear the cost of the legal fees, and like OJ Simpson, they’ll have to see my face every day in the news for decades!”
