War and Peace

The question of war and peace (not the book) was raised in the forum. It was of course closed but before that I got to give my 2 cents....here's what I said:



War is the sum of both the worst in human nature but also the best. Without war we wouldn't have many of the technologies we take for granted and many more lives would be lost, of course fewer would die each year so it might come out the same. Things like MRI's and chemos would have gone uninvented.



In the end I feel that war is good as long as it is justified, WWII for example. Use of force should always be our last resort and never entered into carelessly or for some emotional/personal reasons.



It might sound odd but without conflict we would have little reason to better ourselves. We wouldn't even know what peace was because we wouldn't know the oposite...kinda like without bad there is no good.



Just my opinion :)

Four more years of Bush!!!



"The folks who conducted to act on our country on September 11th made a big mistake. They underestimated America. They underestimated our resolve, our determination, our love for freedom. They misunderestimated the fact that we love a neighbor in need. They misunderestimated the compassion of our country. I think they misunderestimated the will and determination of the Commander-in-Chief, too." -George W. Bush, Washington, D.C., Sept. 26, 2001



"A dictatorship would be a heck of a lot easier, there's no question about it." -George W. Bush, July 27, 2001



"We're concerned about AIDS inside our White House - make no mistake about it." -George W. Bush, Feb. 7, 2001



"The California crunch really is the result of not enough power-generating plants and then not enough power to power the power of generating plants." -George W. Bush, Jan. 14, 2001



"I think the American people - I hope the American - I don't think, let me - I hope the American people trust me." -George W. Bush, Washington, D.C., Dec. 18, 2002



"Too many good docs are getting out of the business. Too many OB-GYNs aren't able to practice their love with women all across this country." --Poplar Bluff, Mo., Sept. 6, 2004



"Rarely is the questioned asked: Is our children learning?" --Florence, South Carolina, Jan. 11, 2000



"See, in my line of work you got to keep repeating things over and over and over again for the truth to sink in, to kind of catapult the propaganda." --Greece, N.Y., May 24, 2005



"The most important thing is for us to find Osama bin Laden. It is our number one priority and we will not rest until we find him." --Washington, D.C., Sept. 13, 2001



"I don't know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don't care. It's not that important. It's not our priority." --Washington, D.C., March 13, 2002



"Do you have blacks, too?" --to Brazilian President Fernando Cardoso, Washington, D.C., Nov. 8, 2001



And we wonder why this nation has problems :)

Scientists have done a lot in describing the universe and the mechanisms thereof. However, thanks to Einstein, an analogy has become a perceived fact to the layman and even skewed the thinking of scientists.



The description of gravity as a curvature in space-time similar to that of a weight on a fabric is perhaps the most idiotic notion next to those trying to prove the Earth is only 6,000 years old.



"Gravity Well"

This image is generally used to explain the effects of gravity. A mass warps the fabric of space-time creating a "well" thus diverting the normally straight direction of motion into a slightly curved or even orbiting path.



I see a huge problem with this. For one, this diagram suggests that gravity only works in 3 dimensional space it also infers that gravity only functions along an equatorial axis.



Nothing can be farther from the truth. Gravity is a function of the curvature of 4D space-TIME and "curves" this so called fabric along all possible axis'.



An object can be placed into orbit along any axial degree. The "fabric", as supported by Einstein, has done a great deal in limiting both the natural progression of logic and hurting the publics understanding of one of the most basic universal forces.



Space-Time is NOT a fabric, it can more accurately be described as water or even J-ello.







The effects of gravity, for any mass, creates an infinitely hyperbolic sphere of influence around itself. Gravity is not 3D, so please stop saying fabric and forget it as ever used.

Has the Future already Happened?

My reply to the thread "Has the future already happened?"



In part yes. According to quantum theory all things that can possibly happen will.

And according to similar theories all things that can or will happen has happened. But to say that we have no choice in the matter or (as someone said) our lives are pointless is a total misunderstanding of the idea.



Just because something has happened doesn't mean it has to happen.



You see our universe functions a lot like a system of binary answers (yes, no, 1, 0) and with each 1 answer (you made an action) the time line splits and creates a new universe where a 0 happened (you didn't make the action).



All of this leads up to a universe full of inifinite parallel universes every few trillionths of a second.



However that doesn't mean that there are now an infinite number of these universes. Some are opened (continues to make 1's) and others are in a closed system (continues to make 0's). The 0 universes will usually poof themselves out of existance within a short period of time. Yes, with each parallel universe comes more universes parallel to them but in the grand scheme of things the numbers are kept relatively low due to causality etc.



So, does that mean that we can not change our universe? Not at all, we have the free will to make any action, just because something should have happened doesn't make it happen. If you make an action that was not going to happen then you've split the universe in-two. Because time, past, present and future are technically happening at the same moment we are able to weave in and out of these parallel universe, merging them with ours.



But there is a catch. Let's say you could travel back in time, the act of traveling back in time would then create an alternate universe to the one you were wanting to get to so technically your not in the original universe, your in a parallel one. So you can't change the "future" as it were, in other words the Grand Father Paradox is an impossibility.



And, since OUR universe functions in a linear fashion the time line is set, but not always the actions. This also prevents others from a parallel universe from altering our universe. Thankfully when you introduce multiple dimensions you get to a literal point where all the infinite universes, times and actions come together and are made a single point. Then they split off and carry on their way. One might suggest that at this point there is God (the All being, Source etc. not the religious ideas).



I hope I didn't confuse you too much :)

Proof! This article may go to prove my latest journal entry (Holy Universe Batman, here we go again)



http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/7440217.stm



Remember that time may well have and still does exist(ed) outside our microverse. (Yeah it does)

One of the first things you learn in High School science class is "Energy can neither be created nor destroyed." This is the Law of Energy Conservation and this is perhaps one of the most misunderstood terms in all of physics.



When discussing the origin of the universe many people say "Well God couldn't have created the universe out of nothing...just read the law." And of course they're right, well at least partially.



No, God could not have created the universe out of nothing but he didn't' have to. Why? Because all he did was transfer one form of energy into another form i.e. matter.



There are 2 definitions of the universe:



1) The universe is all that ever has been, is or will be. Nothing can exist outside the universe for then it is part of the universe.



2) The universe is all the stars and planets, matter and time, stretching some 156 billion light years.



Both are correct. However, it is important to note that only the 1st definition is fully accurate, again, sorta.



There are 2 universes, the universe of all matter and the universe of all universes and dimensions.



It is this macroverse (all universes) which contains God and you and the green dude standing in the corner.



--In the beginning God, existing outside space and time, created the microverse (156bl in Dia.) by speaking (expelling energy) into the void (the nothing that used to occupy our space-time).



God, being the macroverse, exists for an eternity before time because time did not exist without classical energy (our universe).



When God formed the microverse time was then created (explains the whole "in 7 days" thing)--



So with that my "New Genesis" I can now explain in further detail what is meant by the Law of Conservation.



You see we live in 2 realms which are both fully distinct from each other and yet fully intertwined. And it is because of this that we loose understanding and get so easily confused.



No, energy can not be created nor destroyed but it most definitely can be moved around and changed 3,348,674% :)



So where did God come from? No where.



WHAT!! I heard you say it don't lie!



For God to have come from some place denotes the presence of time, and since time did not exist before the creation of the microverse God did not com from anywhere, he has always been for always is only 13.6 billion years.



As I have alluded to in other writings since God exists outside our 4 simple dimensions he is not bound by time and time has all but zero meaning. Therefore you literally can create something from nothing.



*Remember God is a term which means everything, not the Christian "God" or Muslim "God" or the gods you may worship. God is the "I am that I am", religion has no place in physics.*

How out of step am I?...

Apparently I'm rather out of step with the laws of my own State. I ran across an 8 year old act which protects Tennesseans from crimes committed based on Sexual Orientation.



Public Act 2000, Chapter 896, Senate Bill 897 [TCA 30-45-114 Section 1 (22)] Amended:



(22)

The defendant intentionally selects the person against whom the crime is committed or selects the property that is damaged or otherwise affected by the crime in whole or in part because of the actor's belief or perception regarding the race, religion, color, disability, sexual orientation, national origin, ancestry or gender of that person or of the owner or occupant of that property.



You'd think I would know something like this. Oh well I guess I've been dealing with the issues raised in my previous entry to much.haha!

I'm watching "Band of Brothers" on the History Channel and it reminds me just how pointless and wasteful war is.



When dealing with conflict the most peaceful path should always be taken. Yes there are times when defense is needed but is it really so hard to just use reason.



The past 100 years over 120 million people have died as a result of war. Were the causes actually justified, are the losses truly worth it?



I'm not sure I care anymore. Perhaps we should have a global nuclear war, at least that will keep future generations from having to act retarded...there won't be any.

The Golden Compass

"The Golden Compass" is the weakest bit of writing I have ever seen. From it's creative-less perversion of common words to it's imaginationless disguise of religious orders, it was a total waste of money.



The only redeeming factors were the fantastic CGI and the decent acting of some of the players.



I had heard mixed reviews about it when it came out but they all related to it's "anti-Christian" nature. After seeing "The Golden Compass" I have to say the worst part of it was it's total lack of intellect, imagination and purpose...by far!
