MOMENTUM AND ENERGY IN EVOLUTION TO THE MOON

Around 650 million years, three entire orbits of the solar system around the Milky Way Galaxy, passed as natural evolution distinguished between (I) Momentum, and (II) Energy. Octopuses, squids and certain shellfish which emerged during pre-Cambrian times, have used momentum for propulsion ever since.

That vast passage of time was not because of care or patience. It was because evolution was practically brainless, and thoroughly mindless. Any design that existed was on the spot planning by individual organisms for immediate goals. Care and patience can exploit evolutionary time rates, of course. Now, writing permits very long range goals to be undertaken.

Evolution was not entirely brainless during all this time. It was, though, only after warm-blooded mammals appeared that the solutions began rolling in rapidly.
It may be presumed that energy was first competently distinguished by human beings as they began to lift objects to make tools and shelter, use fire to keep themselves warm and through all of these reduce energy expenditures and requirements necessary to survive. This was probably what allowed human beings to abandon fur.

Eventually with the construction of stone block pyramids, the energy anticipated in reaching the Moon was first approximated. It turns out that in the 3 million blocks in the Great Pyramid of Giza, the total gravitational energy is surprisingly close to the energy necessary to reach the Moon. The advantage of making the demonstration permanent was that the energy stored in those blocks is durably displayed and it was within those structures that now-famous paintings depicting bird-headed men in winged boats sailing over waters to the disks in the sky were preserved.

The pyramids are energy. They were the first enduring models of the energy that would be involved in flying to the Moon. That they still exist is one of the wondrous parts of the story of space flight. Momentum and energy are closely related concepts in physics. In fact, E = (p^2)/(2*m) where E is energy, p is momentum, and m is mass. Conversely, p = SQRT(2 * m * E). The proportionality involves squares and square roots - testament to the efficient information structures which the pyramids were designed to be. Heavy, but simple and direct.

Whether we do better or not is not in question. Modern technology is of course far more sophisticated. The important point is that the Egyptians created something that has physical meaning in the context of flight to the Moon. What is necessary is that we recognize the patient and slow time scale of conscious human activity toward goals it chooses. Human beings were not being patient or wise because they spent 35,000 years or so going from fire to pyramids. To put it most simply, knowledge did not exist, and when it was obtained it was quickly lost because writing had not been invented.

At the present time, human beings have become determined to put Earth, the house of Man, into better order, by taking care of its own population, the Earth itself and of the other inhabitants and living things of the world. Certain aspects are in critical disarray. Human population is so great it is consuming almost all other large animals as food.

The world still preserves an ancient goal of flying to the stars. But that is not viewed with the urgency of the first Moon flight. Orbital flight around the world now makes it possible for people to venture into space far enough to see the Earth in proper scale and proportion. Almost universally, they have returned visions of grandeur and awe, amazement and wonder, and concepts of the Earth as having literally infinite value to all that is known about life anywhere. The concept of Earth as home is inescapable, and it brings all the responsibilities and tender protective regard for the planet that are always equated with home.

This alone is one of the most important reasons to sanction, though carefully, private-industry development of orbital space flight, including permanently inhabited space stations. The aggressive concept of creating a privileged
class of space-flying people is loud but not as important as the fact that
the more people who do orbit the Earth, the more certainly will good decisions
emerge about how to care for it. This is a long term goal with very important consequences. Careful planning in the beginning will be well worth the time.

Space flight to the stars, though, could wait a thousand years and still be called rapid development in the evolutionary time scale. Preliminary research is already under way, yet flight to the stars is an immense project. Advances are being made in the principles and concepts of lift without any kind of wings, jets or rockets. Given rates as history indicates them, flight to the stars could take anywhere from a thousand to a hundred thousand years. It is not likely to happen sooner; this new millennium will be dominated by exploration of the Solar System.

Demonstration devices, presenting levitation with no moving parts no fluctuating electric or magnetic fields, and no expenditure of power, can be purchased from the popular science supply corporation Edmund Scientific. They are not costly - about forty dollars each. Both levitate suitable objects on magnetic fields. One uses cryogenically superconducting material, so energy is required to supply the liquid nitrogen for refrigeration. The other uses room temperature magnets and a phenomenon called pyrolytic diamagnetism to float a carbon object on a magnetic field. Both cause many who first see them to imagine flying saucers.

Tiny models of astronauts and space ships can be supported on the levitating
samples, particularly if a model helps inspire dreams. And as always, as with electricity, someday a tax may be placed on such things.

It's a shame they're giving us another war

Another war is dangerously possible. Now that the Moon has footprints on it, it needn't happen.

It seems the problem is that the Apollo flights did not have enough weight to convince the deeper instincts that the Moon has no air, water, farmland, jungle or life and not even any gods or monsters.

Those deep instincts are figurative, because the development of space flight signaled the end of half a billion years of ebb-and-flow evolution toward the Moon.

Thus, the present recession is but the faint beginning of the heavier lapse of ten thousand years of constructionist civilization, and at the same time, the emergence of a completely new worldwide civilization of unprecedented kind.

Why war about it?

Evidence is that flowering plants emerged not 100 million years ago but 220 million years ago, which is just about one orbit of the Solar System around the Milky Way galaxy. Electric eels emerged 100 million years ago.

If the eels and birds and flowers had got together, and has transcended the cultivation of flowers by ants by inventing cultivation of anything by mammals or possibly even some reptiles, space flight could be in its 80 millionth years of development

If we choose not to war, it will be at the cost of tolerating, enduring, and suffering, all with good cheer, an almost endless and permanent devolution of the constructions as they appeared recently. Only the most stable of forms is likely to be preserved.

Fortunately that means the house, cooking pot, farm and village center. Now, it also means electricity, telephones, television, and cars too. Life like that is almost unimaginable, and sends capitalists into a panic.

But why? Responsible capitalists will simply have to take charge, see that capitalism improves in the light of whatever new responsibilities and necessities it faces, and probably invent a linear negative feedback stabilizing system that prevents economic runaway.

We don't need more war. We need peace. And we need to be correct in all three of Galactic, Ecliptic and Equatorial right rotation. We need to just carefully and patiently relax industrial revolution, capitalism and development until it is possible to see which way they tend, and then guide it all down the mountain.

There is a good clue in the pyramids. They took energy to build, and because the number of blocks, their composition, and height are known for those which survived, it is possible to calculate the total energy which was required to lift all that sandstone into place. It turns out the energy is remarkably close to the energy which was actually required to send the manned Apollo expeditions to the Moon.

That provides a standard by which to gauge the empires, dynasties, kingdoms, republics, religions and so on that have come into existence, of which several exist today. Subtract out the forced labor and slavery, and it might be possible to make sense of it all.

LONG TIME NO SEE

Consider terrestrial weather in the time periods of the major planets. There are four, with periods of 10, 30, 85 and 165 years. For such long term understanding, it is useful to consider those from the outside in, as 165, 85, 30 and 10 years of Neptune, Uranus, Saturn and Jupiter respectively.

Some civilizations have existed thousands of years. To be fair, it is understood that for the most part only Saturn and Jupiter were visible and readily understood. But the two outer planets were anticipated decades before their discoveries.

The United States has existed only one of those longest periods, for the U.S. bicentennial, 200 year anniversary occurred in 1976. Many busy, prosperous cities throughout the Old World are three thousand years old. They know their climates.

It is time for America to stop being the stooge and thug for the Roman Empire, even if Romulus and Remus did move to London. Maybe even modern Europe should call it enough. Rome's heady England has a tendency to conceal plans for itself in its inanimate crown devices, while nobly suggesting tempting, conflict-ridden actions among everybody itself. While loyal to Canada and Australia, England's Romish belief is that the United States has to make a decision whether to be like Spain which did not recognize the founding Kings Romulus and Remus and the borders of which were left to rot so that it was promptly taken over by numerous Moroccans.

That would mean relegating the Declaration of Independence to the status of an English historical document.

Civilizations that have watched Saturn complete its 30 year orbit a hundred times are formidable, just as a father and grandfather are formidable in dealing with potential criminality in a teenage son.

It's not likely that such a son could understand all the events that span more than three times the entire time he has existed. Yet a 17-year old may be, or have, serious problems and his impatience only makes understanding and maturity more difficult for himself and others. 3*17 is only 51; his father may be that and his grandfather certainly will is.

This is familiar in the way children have little ability to foresee the next hour, or tomorrow, and a week hence is very difficult for a small child. It is related to their attention span, which is the length of time one can keep as a single perceptual environment. It takes practice to pay attention to an entire inning in softball among six or eight-year olds. Older children take the game as a whole event. When they go to work, they are expected, and many do
attain proficiency or expertise at directing their attention to the business for hours at a time. Managers and executives can conduct business as a coherent whole for months, seasons, and
years. Presidents are depended upon to execute the office of the president as a single unified event through the four year sidereal cycle.

But the quadrennial four year cycle is not the longest span of time in which events develop in the evolution of nations.

There are fundamental reasons for that, in the trade-off between time and energy that was discovered in quantum mechanics. Yet the fact that quantum mechanics emerged very recently, within the history of the United States, does not mean that the United States understands, automatically or even potentially, the implications of the passage of thirty centuries of time in the development of other cultures. The study of action itself began three thousand years ago; quantum mechanics was the flower, just as computers are the flower of logic.

It is easy to understand this if one observes with a spectroscope the energy spectra which are emitted by lamps such as neon, sodium and phosphorus. The lines one sees are narrow, and the vary from merely narrow or fine, to hyperfine. A person of recent understanding can look at a persistent fine line for a time. Even considering it with competence in his best good faith, he understands at first that the particular line will be exactly the same energy forever and that it
has the energy now that it will have, say, tomorrow, or next week, next season or next year. If he has some maturity he will catch the sense of it four years hence. He may reflect on that energy in his past if he has a good memory for colors.

The Chinese Spring and Autumn Period was a time in which certain works described events with great depth, and resolved the difference between Spring and Autumn in systematic ways that had been true since immemorial time. One of these was described to me as the difference between hypertrophy and eutrophy. They were asking, what is the difference between spring and autumn since long ago? Oh, see, the past is not merely extended into the future. The future is an entirely different dimensionality than the past. Hypertrophy has to do with an abundance of oxygen in surface waters (I think) and eutrophy with a deficiency. The result has to do with the amount of plant growth.

Now, my understanding of Chinese civilization often appears to me as the memory of the blink of a firefly. That is because each time one learns something new about China, it is lost in a huge, vast, enduring, massive civilization that covers vast area. It is not like arguing with my Daddy about why I never win. When I got into trouble, I always knew as it unfolded that my father was so way ahead of me that it seemed he must be like a time traveler, and knew the future. I did not know he could contrast me with durable things like oak trees or mountains.

China's civilization is so old that few people, even Chinese, have more than an ephemeral sense of the difference between its past and future, because Chinese concepts wrap completely around thousands of years at a time. Modern clocks measure time well, but in a world in which energy of the past is not necessarily distinct from energy of the future.

That's why Charles XII of Sweden, then Napoleon of France, and finally Hitler of Germany all were repulsed when they invaded Russia. Russians knew their land and its climate deeply, in
evolutionary time, and those in foreign countries who did not understand Russia in evolutionary time were naturally encouraged to invade at a time most propitious for Russia.

It should not be necessary to describe the similarity between those events, and the current position of the United States in the Eastern Pacific. For instance, when India developed its
atomic bomb, exactly twenty years to the day passed between the first test and the second. And that is a short period of time. The Asia land mass is not to be regarded as a tempting target
where the lives of others are involved, particularly now that the ancient half-billion year old goal of reaching the Moon is attained and the airless, waterless moon has shoe-prints on it.

The primary inciter of that invasion is in Europe, geologically part of the same Asian land mass. That means the United States does not have a voice either among those waging onslaughts against Asia, or those defending it. Could Asia be subtly goading the rest of the world?

?

IS SLAVERY EMBEDDED IN THE CONCEPT OF ENERGY?

Think about this carefully. Your civilization, if it ever existed, may depend on you.

Eight thousand years ago more or less, the first stone block pyramids were constructed.

Much of the work human beings performed in those constructions consisted of lifting block A from lower position 1 to upper position 2.

Though the blocks were not of uniform size, they were of uniform shape.

It was soon understood that the larger they were, the heavier they were in linear proportion to something which was eventually found to be their volume and density.

The same was true of the height through which they had to be lifted. Height 1 plus height 2 equals height 1+2.

The product of weight times height is the same measure of energy used today in the physical quantity called the foot-pound.

Construction of the pyramids established concepts of energy which were to endure until the Moon was attained.

They are still in use, though better understood now. In particular, the energy of lifting is now in stable linear relation to other natural forms of energy.

Stable quantities of energy such as that equivalent to the masses of electrons, protons, and other atomic particles are in use.

The energy of stable spectral terms in light-like radiation is another valuable fundamental source of stable energy measure.

Those who built the pyramids determined the mammalian concept of working energy that exists today.

It was in that concept, or misconcept, of energy that all the subsequent dynasties, regimes, kingdoms, empires, wars, constructions and misconstructions that took place until now existed.

Those ancient concepts of energy were used in the creation of the Apollo rockets which flew to the Moon and took several visitors there to return alive as witnesses to the nature of the Moon.

If the present energy crisis is the resolution of energy of that kind, then no problem exists except for the resolution of the crisis.

If the energy crisis does not take the original concepts of energy into account, and ensure that no error exists in the construction of its powers, then the resolution of the crisis will be itself erroneous in some way.

It cannot be a decision made by one person, such as the author.

The resolution of whether the ancient concepts of energy are good fits to truth and justice or not, will be necessarily the result of considerable thought by many people.

After all, from the very start there is a problem.

Starting even earlier, with earth mounds, these monster constructions involved forced and slave labor, embedding a relentless source of injustice into all subsequent works and probably all human activities that scaled energy in the manner determined by those slave-labor constructions.

Failure to admit that forced and slave labor was a factor in construction of the pyramids will continue to embed slavery in our concepts of energy.

It will cause slavery to will be a problem forever, until the situation is determined correctly.

A Earth-Moon System Without War

It is suspected that the present worldwide economic recession is destined to continue implacably, relentlessly, as the evolution of life causes civilizations to withdraw from, and abandon, the furious attempt to use military power and war to justify and discover mechanisms to reach the Moon.

On the other hand, to the extent that planners correctly foresee the outcome of that withdrawal from the use of military power and war, the world will emerge from the economic recession with new and justifiably greener plans for the Earth.

Meanwhile, the nature of the Moon and the planet Earth which it orbits, is known far better and more quickly than was ever dreamed millions of years ago. The Apollo visitors to the Moon witnessed its nature well enough,

That is not to say that no future journeys are to take place. Certainly they will, probably many, many times. It is just that there is no hurry as far as those on Earth are concerned. Going to the Moon is no longer a worldwide economic incentive, and neither is war.

The only way to resolve this correctly is to get it right in each and all three of daily equatorial rotation of the Earth; annual ecliptic orbit of the Earth around the Sun; and the 250 million year Galactic orbit of the Solar System, Sun and planets and all, around the center of the Milky Way.

As a clue, each year the galactic orbit is about six thousandths of one arc-second. In 170 years, one arc-second. As time passes, the angle of about 121 degrees between the Andromeda Galaxy and the Galactic Center in Sagittarius, slowly increases.

Get all three right and be certain. Guess on one, two or all three, and you have a half, quarter or eighth change of being right.

Ten Thousand Years to the Ancient Moon

The issue with Islam, that they are fighting unbelievers, has to do with confrontation with the Catholic Church which sanctions forcible adherence to the physical concept of mass while leaving the spectra and species of common living beings in rather inferior positions. Colors are relegated to the privileged of royalty, light and right. Roman traditions, both imperial and religious, were extremely powerful throughout Europe from the time of Marcus Aurelius and Christ, until today. Many other cultures throughout the world were also powerful and left value that also exists in the present. Islam is among them and her peaceful intentions and actions must be respected and positively regarded, just as with other nations.

Continuity of the human goals (mainly the Moon) was at first preserved in the mummies of pharaohs and kings in pyramids, sepulchers and the like in and near ancient Egypt. That continuity was transferred to the Italian Peninsula when Rome's church began keeping the remains of its Popes, of which it now has an almost complete reliquary. The preservation of human remains was a part of the struggle to reach the Moon; it was the only naturally obvious means of dealing with formality.

That issue with Islam, said to date back to around 630 AD when the Koran devolved, has to do with the atomic number of Carbon in centuries since the birth or execution of Christ. Atomic number is involved because it is the distinction of charge, which was largely unaccounted until the 16th century AD but which would inevitably cause differences among human groups on the basis of species. Though unaccounted, charge influences species strongly because species arises from electronic transitions in biological molecules of many kinds, and reproduction is very sensitive to both.

The issue of Carbon has to do with the Empire of Nebuchadnezzar, which instituted a distinction between human beings and two realms in the animal world, the Aurochs and the Dragons. It was, importantly, remarkably close to the distinction between mammals and reptiles. That occurred six centuries prior to the Roman Empire at the time of Christ.

The issue of corruption and violence in human civilizations goes back distinctly to the time of earth mound builders around 5,000 years ago when the peaceful traders began to use forced labor in the constructions. That pattern of forced labors evidently began a hand of millennia ago, about when the working of bronze began. Forced labor can be expected to have existed in the constructions of the sand-stone block pyramids and other structures through the middle east.

All of these issues have something to do with El Nino, which also figured into contests between ancient peoples and their attackers, where the weather usually helped the defenders and fended off or even contributed greatly to the defeat of the attackers. That happened twice and more to the Germans and French when they attempted to invade Russia with its ancient experience in unbelievably cold, harsh winters.

All of these issues appear to be transcended by much more ancient evolved instincts that were affected by the tides and Moon since half a billion years ago. If the world is to begin enacting its own freely chosen destiny, the patterns of force, violence and hurried toil must be abandoned and the contradictions between the Catholic Church and Islam must be reconciled on win-win terms that respect each and both of them.

It is not pretended all the details suggested here are accurate, but they are all very large issues which have a great deal with how the world resolves issues throughout the world now that the Moon has footsteps on it and the ancient dream of knowing the true nature of the World has largely come to reality.

The whole temporal period of ten thousand years or so, is in grave need of correct determination in relation to all three of Galactic, Ecliptic and Equatorial order. In ten thousand years the Solar System moved around the center of the Milky Way galaxy just about one arc-minute.

Astronomically that is a large angle, easily measured with surveyor's transits. At ten meters, one degree is 178 millimeters. One arc-minute is three millimeters at a radius of ten meters, and one arc-minute is the angle the galaxy has rotated in ten thousand years. That is why the positions of the Egyptian pyramids at Giza are so important.

The world needed human artifacts in comparison with which human beings would be sensitive to Galactic rotation. That understanding came from depth in the evolution of life on Earth. Prior to the pyramids, galactic rotation only showed up on the unpredictable distribution of atomic nuclei and electrons in the Earth. After the pyramids were constructed, it was just a matter of time before the problem of the Moon was fathomed.

The galactic rotation is in contrast with background galaxies near the galactic plane. Galactic rotation is influential, though vaguely, because there are distinctions between the influence of stars in the Milky Way galaxy, and the myriad very distant exterior galaxies. The Andromeda Galaxy is the only galaxy visible with the unaided eye, and it must be keen. Its galactic longitude is 121.17 degrees.

The first recorded description of the Andromeda galaxy was by an Arab, Wikipedia has: "In the 10th century, Abd al-Rahman al-Sufi (Azophi) carried out observations on the stars and described their positions, magnitudes, brightness, and colour and drawings for each constellation in his Book of Fixed Stars (964 A.D.). He also gave the first descriptions and pictures of "A Little Cloud" now known as the Andromeda Galaxy. He mentions it as lying before the mouth of a Big Fish, an Arabic constellation. This "cloud" was apparently commonly known to the Isfahan astronomers, very probably before 905 AD.[36] The first recorded mention of the Large Magellanic Cloud was also given by Abd Al-Rahman al-Sufi.

These issues are well known. Their presentation here is faint, not exactly mass news, though it attempts to keep them in formal logical order.

Devolving Misconstructions

Forty years ago, spacecraft from Earth were flown to the Moon by rockets which landed there. In each of six visits, two men from Earth walked on the surface of the Moon, collected samples, left measuring equipment, and returned safely to Earth.

In addition, the United States, Russia and Japan have sent unmanned probes to the Moon and beyond, to the other planets of the Solar System.

Several nations on the Earth are preparing further ventures to the Moon starting around the year 2020.

According to SpaceToday.Org, "In addition to the United States, the nations of Japan, Europe, China, India and Russia also are interested in exploring the Moon over the next two decades."

Change of scale:

Flight to the Moon was preordained, a mandate of Heaven, since half a billion years ago when life washed back and forth in the ebb and flow of lunar tides.

Evolution toward the Moon could no more be contravened than breathing. The Moon was the premier goal, so far as is known today, of evolution at least as far back as the early Cenozoic when the dinosaurs phased out because of heat energy.

The last six thousand years or so were, it appears, almost exclusively occupied by constructions, religions, ventures, contest, conflict and wars all devoted to flying to the Moon. The energy stored as elevated mass, in the sandstone blocks of the big Pyramids, is very likely an estimator of the energy that would be required to reach the Moon.

That work involved forced labor. As a consequence it must be assumed that to some extent by modern standards, all constructions since the early earth mounds in prehistoric Peru are tainted with that corruption. It is likely the entire six thousand years contains significant misconstruction.

With thousands of years of constructions and misconstructions all mixed up together, the world now has lots to do making itself habitable again. People should get used to the idea that returning the planet to normal in historical terms is the norm, whatever that it proves to be, and it is fraught with confusion. Decisions about what to keep and what to discard of the constructions during the most recent ten thousand years are a routine part of civilization throughout the world now.

Generally it appears to be going well. Where doubt surfaces, it may be helpful to review the conditions surrounding it in the long evolutionary view suggested here.

Evolution to the Moon

All of the biological history of the world since three galactic rotations ago - about 650 million years - was influenced by tidal activity to be continually sensitive to the Moon. Every living creature has tidal wash to and fro evolved into its cells. The Moon thus became a goal very early in Earth's history.

During at least 450 million years the Earth was dominated by cold-blooded reptilian dinosaurs. They evolved some flying forms, the Pterodactyl and Archeopteryx. But the Moon always remained beyond even their reach, though undoubtedly while in flight it was possible to sense the Moon's gravity apart from that of the Earth. With those early flying creatures, flight to the Moon became a possibility, then a precept, a dream, and finally a concept that endured.

Considering the duration of the cold-blooded and early mammalian life, human evolution took place in a very short time. Only thirty million years elapsed after the collapse of cold-blooded dinosaurs to the world dominance by warm blooded equivalents, including the flying, warm-blooded birds. The consummate demonstration of global mammalian supremacy entirely equivalent to and surpassing anything that dinosaurs ever did caused certain other factors to come into being. Mainly, these were walking upright on two legs, versatile hands free to work, and brains with bodies responsive to thought.

They did not all appear together at the same time. Ground running two-legged lizards had been around long before, and they had sanctioned the use of reasonably versatile hands. Brains, the most primitive forms of which were in the brain corals, had evolved in ancient ocean water the essential entropy-gradient filtering into the folded structures which exist in modern animal brains of all kinds. It's not clear whether brain corals are actually intelligent. They sort certain things efficiently; they are well practiced at it; and very good at using continuity, diffusion, flow, differentiation and other such equities in time independent ways.

From Wikipedia

It took about thirty million years to evolve monkeys into human beings and assemble all the parts that went into the first intelligent, upright, handy, smart human beings that would be obedient to the way of the Moon.

Monkey won. Pigsy lost, duck lost, donkey lost, cow and horse lost. Human beings, people, won the Moon.

One can imagine a scenario - some men were looking at the Moon and talking to a snake. The question came to their collective spirits, how far is it to the Moon. The snake, being a flatland sort of creature and working from long experience in climbing that raised its chin up off the Earth, suggested building a hill and climbing up on it. The men thought that was a good idea. They built a mound and climbed up on it. Nope, not high enough. But that's the right direction. They build more mounds, still not enough. They persuaded other people to build the mounds, and eventually began cudgeling the people to work on building mounds. Still it was not high enough. They punished people who refused, and some of them died under the punishment. Still, the mounds were not high enough, yet the new mounds were higher than the people that had been killed to get there, and those dead were of the Earth, so it was closer to the Moon.

That went on long enough to spread mound-building all over the world.

Eventually someone invented the sandstone block. Yeah, Baby. Go Daddy. It's almost passe to say "Here we are" on reaching the pyramids from evolution.

But more happened. Carrying sandstone blocks, of more or less uniform size and simple form, began to register with the consumption of energy. It always took the same amount of energy to lift a sandstone block a certain distance if it was of a certain size, and the energy and size were smoothly proportional. Of course we know now that was the volume and density. It was close enough to sensible, that energy was what was being used in the construction of systems to reach the Moon. And so here we are.

Now, in retrospect of the first, Apollo flights to the Moon, we can see that energy and conservation of momentum were the critical dimensions in flights into space. At the present time, the engines are rudimentary in that huge coarse quantities of flaming exploding energy are composed roughly into a subset of the dimensions of energy. That subset is momentum.

In the rocket, the momentum sub-dimension of energy is used to propel the rocket just like the octopuses and squids moved themselves around in the oceans where they were swimming around the brain corals. Presumably, we still base our ideas of energy on how much energy it takes to lift a sandstone block.

Now, how smart is a brain coral? Are physicists smarter than brain corals? Of course. When is that? Probably soon, in evolutionary time. By now we can see milennia stretching into the future like pyramids vanishing, and the question of time travel, or at LEAST the transfer of information from the future to the past, or from the future to now, or from now to the past, is almost looming at us.

In order to reach the Moon, evolution had to be narrowly dedicated to energy and flight for almost ten thousand years. Suddenly, within fifty years, it is all over and both animals and human beings all over the world are completely re-conceiving the World, Earth, the Planet, the Moon and Sun, and the Solar System and universe.
All the old bets are off. The snake withdrew - I saw it happen.

In other words, all the narrow constraints on what human beings should be were literally abandoned, relinquished to the earth, dropped. The result is certain to be a divergence in the human population, and it is best to let it go peacefully. That is why it will be wise to be generous in sanctioning households of all types, for human beings will increasingly live in single family households, apartments, groups, collectives and other patterns rapidly now. It will not be possible to constrain human habitation patterns to some one or another of the various ideals that were creating in special places and times, even the best. Justice and mercy,
dignity and health are more important. Gender will never be abandoned, but its origins are very deep and old. One of its dyadic, yin-and-yang dualities is light and space, energy and space. These are the penetrating and the receptive - which go back to sunlight coming through the ocean surface above into the waters below. To prove this yourself, YOU'll have to go SWIMMING.

Constellation's Provenance

It seems the world is in need of gentle reminders and sustained assurance that the upcoming 2020 Constellation flights to the Moon are of true importance. They are of the same importance as the Apollo flights - inestimable, transcendent and deeply historical magnitude that goes far beyond the current saeculum. Yet they are very different from the Apollo flights, which were in the aftermath and shadow of monstrous wars that had destroyed much of civilization and left the world with untold tragedy and loss to remember and weather. Now, it is almost as if the world wonders what to do while NASA goes to the Moon again.

NASA and the media have a world arena and global latitude in which the public is hungry for understanding about the magnitude and importance of the Constellation flights. The project already does or soon will involve cooperation from almost every nation on Earth. Most importantly, human beings are free to believe in the long term peace and stability of the world, and outline some of the essentials that impact on today's solutions for the economic situation.

Apparently, all three of Galactic, Ecliptic and Equatorial rotation are required to be right in the long run. That means by gambling alone, you only have a one in eight chance of getting it right. The three ephemeral celestial rotational are so important planes could very well have their own Muses. You can get human rights or construction right Right in daily rotation, and by the end of the year, the people are fighting and the house falls down. You can get a transportation system right in annual and quadrennial right, and in decades or centuries trains collide head-on because the Milky Way is turning. Assuming responsible people take all three Rights into account, though, it is a good time for optimism.

A continuity exists in world history that transcends differences between religion and government throughout the world in these projects. It is visible in faint, long-wavelength terms of the spectrum of human resonance, where similar terms are shared with animal life of all kinds. Some of these exist in millimeter waves, like those of carbon, nitrogen and oxygen and go as far out as the 16 centimeter Oxygen and 21 centimeter neutral hydrogen lines.

Ever since bilateral symmetry and gonads half a billion years ago, life on Earth was washing, splashing and surging back and forth toward the Moon in the tides. It is not commonly popular that space flight involves fundamental principles like the momentum exchange and intelligence invented by octopuses and squids; cooperation like that of schools, flock and herds animals; and walking upright with hands that even monkeys used millions of years ago. Nor is it popular that the French cave paintings depicting the Pleiades and other star-chart petroglyphs recently found in Africa were among the standards for these projects.

Beginning with builders of Earth mounds, the project was relatively swift. The main difficulty since then was the persistent tendency toward the zero sum predatory competition that caused so much war until recently. The 1970's Apollo expeditions were well named in the context of intelligent, literate history and the upcoming Orion project is the vital validation of the Apollo expeditions. Alone, the Apollo flights would disappear in myth.

Most people, the bright, educated who see to their houses and futures, are happy as clams at high tide with the project taking place now in the recent results of the Ares rocket, and other progress. Yet you would not know the fantasy some of the public lives in. Chronic sufferers of want or envy, they depend on rumours for what to think. Not only are bad times hard on the optimism of the poor- they also view even tranquil, stable economic activity as hopelessly stagnant, and for them, depressed and intractable.

In the public domain are almost nonstop grumblings that the second moon flights must be to prove the Apollo results were lies, that the Moon is actually hollow and contains gardens, plants, places to live and other people. There are also rumours, mumblings, murmers and discontent about "wasting money going back to the Moon". Public logic is non-contiguous, ephemeral and intermittent. It is infested with a soggy World War II Dufus and Sad Sack mentality, even though the new expeditions are largely taking place without war in the aftermath of the discovery that war is not an essential factor in space flight. It's peace but it's not a dream.

Just what kind of reassurances and reminders the world needs would be better determined by experts in public relations and government would certainly want to coordinate the concept presented with economic and financial administration so as to make the best of the Whole. At the same time, many who are confident of the future see the economic picture not as bleak, but as tending toward very long term stability in which the outcomes are not yet determined. Certainly, solutions will be sought for the contradictions between mass production and mass unemployment, between the ideals of freeing human beings from irksome toil and labor and the individual need for something to do, between the financial possibility of stabilized economic systems with abundant credit available to all, and other big-factor, long-term cross-currents.

Pareto optimum spectral cosmology

It looks like the envelope of spectral terms in this Pacific Northwest state (probably in all the United States) is approaching the envelope of spectral terms in remote wilderness areas anywhere in the world.

That would be, I'd guess, a primitive monarchy.

If it is so sophisticated as a monarchy. That is because there is no monarchy in the structure of United States government. Not that it is desired, since the States and the United States are all constitutional republics except for Louisiana.

If no specific entity such as the state Government takes charge of the spectrum of the State/Region/Nation then it will continue to settle into the wild natural spectrum of the Earth and its albedo.

One of the aspects now of the visible world at night is that foliage areas in the dark look like exactly that - dense darkness containing wild plants and the animals which live among them. They do not appear to have, for instance, any guiding light of whatever kind of civilization one might dream of. There is no sense of overarching human supremacy, no light of religion, no spiritual envelope of life. Either those never existed, or they are illegal, forbidden, outlawed.

Now I admit that is the nature of light as I saw it and interpreted as having a particular equation, but I did not create the light of nature and it never was in my power to cause the light to evolved any way that it would not have evolved, with or without my discovery or knowledge or both.

Logistically speaking, the economy of the United States is devolving, pretty much along the lines of a constitutional monarchy with Pareto Optimum cosmology in the economics.

If you remember your history, the only saving grace is that the retirement of five thousand years of misconstruction in the nearly obsessive instinct to reach the Moon, might take with it most of the misunderstandings, rationalisms, and causa bella of war that haunt the thermonuclear weapons stockpiles.

It is urgent to create win-win relationships with every other nation on Earth, if that is possible, and to let it be known that is a goal. Also, to invest some money in making sure competent professions are coordinated to provide a best estimate of what rapid return to the nature from which human beings diverged to evolve toward the moon, now that the Moon actually has human footprints on it. The 2020 confirmations will go far to reassure the populations of the less developed countries that the United States was telling the truth, and not lying or in deceit, when it reported from the 1969-74 Apollo visits that the Moon has no air, no water, no arable farmland, no plants or animals or life of any kind, and no enemies or demons either.

Otherwise, the recession will be that of an economy slowly collapsing toward that natural state which was left behind when mound and pyramid began to work in positive law architecture to reach the Moon by groping and war.

IN THE MIDDLE OF TEN THOUSAND YEARS

During only about twenty generations, so many new developments have occurred that the entire temporal order of the Earth was restructured. Increasingly clear distinctions are now made between the past and the future, in terms of increasingly longer spans of time. The history of civilization is much better resolved and a consistent version of that history is being provided by historians all over the world. Not only is it better coordinated between different civilizations and nations, but it extends back farther in time.

Recent archaeological discoveries in Peru and other parts of South America up to five thousand years ago now appear to be consistent with events in Old World for a similar time. This consistency makes it possible to have an equivalent meaningful time sense for human destiny. Whereas once it was necessary either to limit predictions to about one century, or else cast predictions in unimaginable futures such as millions of years, having a consistent 5,000 year history provides a more sensible basis for consciousness that the future, too, is to surely extend into a 5,000 year destiny.

Of course that number is not rigidly set by anything. It has to do with the discovery of many archaeological remnants everywhere in the world, that when radioisotope dated, range to about five thousand years ago. The time that passed from the beginning of human civilization to the attainment of footsteps on the Moon was just a hand of millennia. It is neither unnoticed, nor noticed by all things. One wonders if there is a six and seven attached, those numbers being fundamental atomic numbers in the element carbon, vital to life, and nitrogen, main constituent of the atmosphere and the medium of matters of the spirit.

To have five thousand sensible years in the recent past, and another five thousand years in the future, places the world in the middle of ten thousand years. It makes the idea of planning the world's destiny in terms of the future five thousand years more than merely inviting, convenient, or interesting. The critical issues - nuclear weapons, severity of the human population, destruction of earth's living species, and pollution of the small ecological system of this only planet we have to live on, utterly vital, and five thousand years is neither too long to be impossible to plan for, nor too brief to be a challenging and valuable period of concern.

It is no longer necessary to struggle with ideas like "The God of Millions of Years". To be sure, there probably is a god of such vast reaches of time, because if spirit emerged with life, and life adapts to advantage, then life has evolved god for at least half a billion years. Satellites like LAGEOS, ETALON, STARLETTE and AJISAI are certain to span a hundred thousand years to eternity. Five thousand years is only urban planning for some cities already.

Mankind set out to construct the path to the Moon five thousand years ago, after it was probably devolved on the human species for one or two millennia. Mankind did not know much about the heavens nor the spirits, but knew it had no choice, knew only that it obeyed. Human beings, simply close to stock in understanding, simply began trying to reach the Moon by constructing mountains.

Of course the results were both magnificent for their times, and yet tragic in ways that remain to this day. Especially after the first peaceful, trading civilizations changed into more formally strict civilizations that, though still trading, also imposed more stringent requirements on their peoples - often with force. It happened all over the world - in Egypt, in the Middle East, India, South America, and people toiled and struggled and were broken. Worse, they did not know who compelled them except that those who led them told them, and were probably telling the truth or what they believed was the truth, that the Gods made them do it.

Worse yet were decisions that groups, classes or religions of people who were not contributing to whatever the Gods at the time seemed to want, rapidly enough, were expendable and should be eliminated. That was probably when human beings began to reproduce rapidly, probably by offsetting annual mating cycles and requiring that love was to be a pleasant and enjoyable happy time after work any time of year so that children could be born. The only goal was to reach the Moon and often that goal was obscured by temporal and sometimes brutal causes.

Animal nature is not very bright, and underlies much of that which passes for intelligence in the human species. Believe me, I know.

Now, now a decade into this twenty first century, no excuses remain. There is no need to relegate human beings to brutal toil in order to reach the Moon. There is no need for subhuman or degrading conditions of existence. There is an awful need for prolonged and sustained peace, a peace to which human beings can become accustomed, and a peace during which they can rest and grow confident after five thousand years of war and bloody plunder.

Here is a problem:

If human beings do not prove to the Gods that comprise the half billion and more years of instincts of the Planet,

Who invested the planet's monkeys and men into a ferocious struggle to reach the Moon these past five thousand years,

That the Moon is already attained and that Project Apollo actually took place and the Orion Project is already attained

(Of course it did, we know that for certain in literate rationality, but the instincts of the planet do not know that for certain.)

then,

With the huge payload of nuclear and thermonuclear, bacteriological and chemical warheads waiting and ready in the arsenals,

Some Brutus is likely to end up obeying his interpretation of the Gods, and

The Gods are likely to find the brutes who will obey them, and

Together they will launch another destruction of the world so that

The Gods can make the planet's Monkeys try it again.

That Brutus would make Dr. Strangelove look like a civilized man, even a tree hugger.

To be sure, optimism is optimal, and it is worth appreciating that every state in the world seems to share concern for eliminating all weapons of mass destruction. The recent coming into phase and coherence of world history has made the attainment of space flight so much a signal that the time has come for peace for the entire world, and relief from the ignorant striving for the Moon, that the peace making activity can itself take on a more determined, confident, and stronger role.

Complete nuclear disarmament has not only mercy and justice to recommend it. Right, truth, and the concerted opinions of thousands of workers in every field of work and in every country on the planet are also on the side of disarmament. Only a few profit-seeking groups exploiting and exploited by the imperfections of capitalism which has made money into a false god, remain. They do not have the bulk of good sense, nor even the money, on their side.

No longer shall we wage war amongst ourselves for the unresolved but commanding Heavens, Spirits, Gods and instincts of billions of years for nothing more than flying to the Moon.

Let's all settle down and get several nations onto the Moon in the next few
decades and put an end to war.

What Now in the Sudden Aftermath of Five Thousand Years?

A great deal of controversy surrounds the question of investing human and industrial capital in colonizing the Moon. The Moon is bleak, airless and waterless and the cost of development is extremely great. Also, it will continue to orbit the Earth for millions or billions of years, so no hurry exists. What human beings do or do not do about the Moon now is important.

It is early in the game, and the investment in Earth itself is exremely important especially in the light of the considerable and substantial problems of poverty, severe population overload, destruction of the natural environment, rapacious consumption of wildlife as food, and the existence of some factor of misconstruction in present economic directions.

It may help to look at this problem as one of the instability and chaos attendant singular events, in this case, the attainment of the Apollo project after five or more thousand years of dedicated construction and war toward that end.

Mathematically, what comes next takes place in a field of envelopes on the time axis. These envelopes have in common that to some extent they consist of

1. A Gaussian distribution around the event of attaining flight to the Moon and determination of what it is;

2. An exponential decay of obsolete developments which either existed before human constructions or were misconstructions from the start;

3. Logarithmic ascents and descents to a norm, of new, useful developments.

4. A curve which resembles the Plank black body energy-wavelength curve. Several markedly temporal events are distinct in history. This curve appears in economics.

5. The first pyramid constructions and the Taoist statistics which emerged about five thousand years ago. These appear to both be divergent branches away from the indigenous Earth.

6. Three thousand years Greeks discovered the ideal and description of the state as Republic. With it came the immediate realization that determination of the nature of light and the action, energy and power constituted a set of paramount goals. It was not until the 1500’s that extensive progress began in these two vital questions.

7. Two thousand years ago many things appeared with the Roman empire, among them estimates of the distance to the Moon; the resurrection of the Republic; the appearance and resurrection of Christ as a humanized integration of the spirit and species of man; first uses of artificial electricity; extensive bridge, aqueducts and roads; and military conquest and settlement of vast amounts of otherwise uncoordinated human civilizations. All this continued for 1500 years.

8. In the Sixteenth Century, the development of the printing press, optics, and several other technological inventions including the steam engine, which heralded vast supplies of energy to free human and other sentient beings from burden of irksome toil. Discovery of the New World - a euphemism that comprehends both the Western Hemisphere (which actually was already inhabited by human beings, so quite discovered) and the Moon as a small airless object orbiting the Earth, and the other planets revealed with telescopes.

9. During the 17th and 18th centuries, mathematics and physics, especially mechanics, emerged strongly along with the Independence of a Constitutional Republic in the United States.

10. In the early 1900's, discovery of the quantum of action and a resulting flood of new understanding of the atom; discovery of the exterior galaxies. The twentieth century also saw the emergence of global war in pursuit of the attainment of the Moon began.

11. Global war, involving massive numbers of deaths, commits the world to the immediate goal of attainment of flight to the Moon; nuclear energy emerges with nuclear reactors and atomic weapons.

12. Actual attainment of the Moon, with the decisive discoveries that it contains no inhabitants, no air, no water, no arable land, no good farmland, no enemies and no friends and that would be the condition for billions of years, apart from what human beings to or make of it. This was accompanied by naive visions of what lay in extremely distant futures, which gave much weight to those who suggested development of the Moon was urgent.

In fact it turned out that about the only thing to do on the Moon is look at Earth, something which can be accomplished by robot cameras at far less expense, and thus sparing resources for the far more productive activity of near Earth orbit. For each of the intervals suggested by the events of the past, there is an interval in the future, of accommodation of those events or of events which transpired since that time of their inception.

Among other things, at the time of the Apollo flights to the Moon, which were the first in all Earth's history, the world was sharply divided into the developed industrial market countries which were largely in Europe and North America. Other great nations were emerging though still imperiled by war and transfiguring revolution. The rest of the world, approximately half its population, lived in primitive conditions of existence and had few technological resources though communications was beginning.

The promise brought by communications itself caused such hurried panic to enforce what it seemed to imply that it resembled an opening day sale at a big department store, with people being trampled to death in the crowds lunging for the new wares. That was trumpeted as "the communist revolution"; meanwhile, others announced that human beings would be turned into robots, docile obedient slaves. Neither was true of course. The social revolutions were largely hasty ill planned moves attempting to match the patient resolution that existed in the Roman construction, Constitution and Republican traditions. It is only to be understood in the future whether the massive wars of the 1900's were necessary or not.

After all, it is possible that if the determination had not been to reach the Moon BEFORE the end of the second millennium, the emerging new millennium could well have invited global apathy and a resolution only to reach the Moon within another thousand years. Or, to leave the attainment itself until AFTER the new millennium, that is, after Y2K, would place the beginning in a shadow, with war having occurred anyway. With the race to reach the Moon prior to Y2K - actually taking place thirty years earlier - the more substantial second series of flights to the Moon can be better understood from the beginning, comprehended by more people who, with better communications, live in better conditions of existence and will likely benefit more directly from the event. Possibly more important, human beings worldwide are likely to perceive that they benefit from the second series of Moon flights.

Instead, technological industries presented the entire population of the Earth with telephones, radio, television, computers and the internet. Most people became, politically, much more moderate-so much so they seemed to be, to visionaries, under some kind of enslaving control. In fact, with communications, entire populations were skimpy turning to the work at hand, to improve the disposition of the world which had been so torn by war, exploitation, mining, rapacious slaughter of sentient beings as food chemicals; and other difficulties.

Eventually long-term human existence on the Moon, Mars and possibly a few other places in the Solar System seem likely. They do not seem to be inevitably permanent at this time, if by permanent is meant millions of years. Within the century, long-term might mean months or years. By the end of the new millennium, long-term could mean lifetimes - centuries and more. It depends on Earth's consensus, whether the planet in its evolutionary context and without the imagined threat of aliens from space, decides it is important or not.

The point about those who proclaim urgency to establish long-term settlement of the Moon and Mars as soon as possible is that the decisions involved do not involve those who live today. They involve those who are to be living when the ideas are considered in the future. IT is timely now, to be preparing the second series of Moon flights. In the initial phases it was believed that 2020 was a good estimate. Yet in the light of understanding and knowledge brought by the Apollo series, there is no mandatory schedule, and the actual date may be earlier, or later, with little difficulty.

For one thing, other nations such as China and the European Union, possibly Russia, India, possibly a South American economic union, are all interested in the ca 2020 Moon flights. The result may be that some collaborate with the United States or with each other, which could mean the Moon would have new footsteps on it sooner. Or other important world activities, such as conservation, may become so important in the judgment of new people, that the project is given lower priority. Perhaps the 'second series' of moon flights will span several decades, and consist of several flights by several different nations representing several different main streams development in human civilization.

In the 1980's, NASA measured the rate at which the Solar System and Earth in it move around the Milky Way Galaxy. Within the great firmament of exterior galaxies exist the three rotating celestial planes - Galactic, Ecliptic, and Equatorial - which define right in an unambigous and clear way.

For an individual person, the requirement is to be right in all three - only one of 2^3, or eight, possibilities exist which is correct and true in all three. That is quite feasible for any responsible planner.

This is an excellent time for deep and true resolution of the situation in which the Earth finds itself. Young people can depend on the remarkably consistent new understanding of history brought by photography and its successor technologies.

The Magnetism and Electricity of Evolution toward the Moon

The Magnetism and Electricity of Evolution toward the Moon.

The speed of light and the action quantum are far more fundamental and necessary to the peace and stability of the world than are the existing magnitudes of the Henry and the Farad. Both the Henry and the Farad were arbitrarily assigned quantities. They have a relation to the speed of light through an equation in which they appear as a product, but any value could have been assigned to the Henry, as long as the Farad were changed proportionally. Conversely, any value could have been assigned to the Farad, as long as the Henry were changed accordingly.

The conventional but overly specific equation for the speed of light is

v = 1/SQRT(mu*epsilon)

The numerical value of mu was derived from existing knowledge on the basis of the arbitrary magnetic field constant, the Henry. It was found that the electric field constant derived from the Faraday had the relationship shown to the speed of light. As a result, the electric field constant was given a value which would make not only that equation correct, but would justify the value of the Faraday in relation to the Henry. That was obscure enough to establish a claim that the Henry and Faraday are absolutely fundamental. They are not. Any other set of experiments could have been used to construct a measure of magnetic field strength similar in dimension to the dimensions of the Henry, and if it resulted in a different numerical value, an appropriate value could have been assigned to the electric field constant so that the equation would predict the speed of light correctly.

The motion of light is in a space-time topology in which two dimensions are present along with a velocity dimension. This is sometimes called SU(2) X U(1). Dimensions which are equivalently fundamental include those of distance and time. The units humans choose are not the units on which the universe is based, however. The universe is based, in dimensions of length, on certain sizes of things which are mostly atoms and particular wavelengths. It is also based on such things as the magnitudes of electric charges, the masses of atoms, and magnetic constants such as the Bohr magneton.

These are sometimes called fundamental or atomic constants of nature. Arranging atomic constants as fundamentals accessible to all nations is vital. This is the kind of change in our thinking for which Albert Einstein called. The most obvious way of doing this is through the manufacture of popular goods, commonly called consumer goods, which manifestly display atomic constants and are available worldwide. To a great extent this is taking place already, in the manufacture and distribution of such goods as cameras, computers, radios, televisions and telephones.

What must not be forgotten, and the instinctive nature of the human species becomes familiar with these widely available goods, is that they are not merely salable objects manufactured for capitalist profits. Profit is a measure of the success of the selling, and to be sure it is sometimes, even often, abused. But of particular goods being sold, many are essentials for human existence, and many are manifest representations of principles new in the evolution of life on Earth. They must be taken as solutions for peace, and not mistaken as causa bella. To do this brings one more obligation, that of ensuring their assimilation is gauged, its relation to international peace is understood, and appropriate responses to changes in the market include products which are, literally, in the correct place for the next step in negotiating the difficult back-scaling from the conflicted times in the final stages of Earth's five thousand year history of constructed struggle to the Moon.

The Chinese people are currently dominant in the dielectric constant. Perhaps given or ceded to them after the magnetic storms of war that swept Europe in the last century, it is also because they were anciently familiar with the duality of the Yin and Yang, more deeply than Judaeo-Christian culture. Though they did not early on resolve the electric field constants, which do exist, it was easy for them to do so when the industrial revolution began and electricity and magnetism were resolved in common sense. Generally it appears masculine is equated with the dielectric and feminine is equated with the magnetic.

This is strong enough to be noticeable when working with delicate sticky issues such as transparent tape, paper, and clean surfaces. That is probably the origin of the phrase "red tape". To a person familiar with red tape, it is easy, but most of the business world is not and so such issues seriously impede business and other negotiations.

This would be nothing more than a static issue except that the historical resolution of the electric and magnetic field constants was set in 17th and 18th century English and European traditions in which the first thing that took place was the creation of arbitrary standard units for magnetic and electric fields. Principles such as those in physics were at that time named after persons who could be equated with monarchs, princes or theological figures. As a result, a magnetic field constant was named the Henry, and an electric field constant was named the Farad, after Michael Faraday. The Henry of course was equated with several Kings Henry, notoriously Henry VIII who set a large number of things that could not be distinguished from eternal in motion. Faraday's name Michael was at least equitable with the Archangel Michael. I know of that well as my name is Michael. We are not tough politicians and tend to be equated with mica, glass, paper, plastic film and such things.

The real problem is that the implementation of these constants into the real industrial world and urban infrastructures was immediate even though they were chosen with arbitrary magnitudes long before the magnitudes of the speed of light and the action quantum were discovered. Those two latter constants are reshaping physics every day in a process of change that could span 500 or a thousand years if the arbitrary disposition is not nipped in the bud. The reason of course is that the constants were named in England and France and were quickly used as bedrock and pillars of colonialist foreign policy. They were also used to divide East and West along the European midnight, which was constructed as the Prime Meridian. Subsequently, Europe and Russia to the East was put literally in irons and to the West, eventually the Americas, the United States in particular, was put to acting as a kind of Great Meridian engaging in wars on both western and eastern fronts itself.

Examination of empirical results in manufactures in the common domain reveal that the arbitrary magnitudes of the Henry and Farad resulted in the manufacture of very large magnetic devices and very small dielectric or capacitive devices. For a long time motors, transformers and generators were very large, and set on power line poles like the magnetism in the body of Christ. Capacitive devices were almost unknown until the manufacture of synthetic fabrics and plastic films, and then improved rapidly into sophisticated devices such as transistors and digital memory chips. Their future is vast. Capacitor transformers have appeared as large capacitors became possible, and magnetic devices have become smaller. All this change is since the discovery of the two constants c and h, the speed of light and the action quantum. Those two constants are truly vintage research, as the study of the motion of light and the nature of action began thousands of years ago. It was fortuitous, and in part tragic, that the path to the Moon stumbled at the imposition of arbitrary magnitudes for magnetic and electric fields in the Henry and Faraday.

Research reviewing the development of physics during the last four centuries, premised on the speed of light and the action quantum as most fundamental principles, will reveal vast quantities of desirable and feasible change that will provide far more agreeable global terms in which the nations of the world can get along.

THE CONTRADICTIONS

Quantum electrodynamics is the eternal direct link between life and the firmament. Secular scientists dislike that word firmament. Yet theologians are more innocent, honest and true to the entirety of the spiritual world in their concern with the firmament, than with any other relationship to society whether religious or no.

The concept of the firmament has changed greatly as modern astronomy and the physics of relativistic motion became confident of the universe in which all existence takes place. Exceedingly distant and myriad exterior galaxies do move, yet their lateral motion is of only minute significance relative to the celestial sphere at such vast distances. Their motion is constrained by energy losses to small fractions of the speed of light, and the speed with which they move never is much greater than a few hundred kilometers each second. These energy losses are measurable in particle accelerators, and the rapid energy loss with increasing speed makes space-time seem viscous like honey or thick oil.

For this reason the map of galaxies has changed very little in all the past three billion years, the fifteen or twenty galactic cycles, since life began on Earth. It will be essentially the same two hundred fifty million years hence as it is today after the Earth and Solar System have traveled around the Milky Way Galaxy yet another time. Exterior galaxies rarely move in visual relationships to each other more than their own diameters in the two hundred twenty million years of a galactic cycle.

Yet quantum electrodynamics is a difficult time for some of those who see intense energy as being the only liberating factor they can stomach. The most obvious manifestations of quantum electrodynamics in life are in the fine details of life. To be sure, they exist both in the most magnificent of life's competition, where the hawk or falcon plummets down at a hundred miles an hour to sieze a pigeon into its claws with instantaneous stunning force, or where a tarpon leaps out of the sea, if there are any tarpon remaining.

More often, quantum electrodynamics is more readily apparent in small, graceful and delicate phenomena such as hovering butterflies or hummingbirds, grazing animals, flowers the colors of which make the very air resonate with fragrance, the sniffing out of dinner by animals with noses dedicated to their own or their family's dinners, and quiet conversations among human beings not constrained to be on bivouac.

Ancient militaries believed in, depended and insisted on, and hoped that life would consist of energetic triumphs over life forever at all times, for it is the teeth and claws, sharp hard parts and the high potential convex surface gradients of small radius, high intensity Paschen curves, the sharp delineation of time into seconds by which energy changes become catastrophic for the inevitable loser. If militaries knew of anything more delicate, they rarely showed that quality. Competition was always which horn clobbered the other horn, or which tooth devoured the meat, or which claw severed which jugular with greater energy, including energy in high valence or nuclear potentials.

Increasing militarization of the world will inevitably make of all the Earth nothing but claws, stingers, fangs, scales and armor. Militaries care as much about the structure, activity, variety and versatility of life as sharks care about clown fish and the beauty and delicacy of sea fans or the thousand other comical, decorated and intricate structures of the oceans and seas. Sharks sacrificed everything interesting about life except speed, noses and sharp teeth to indulge their voracious stomachs. What you insist on is what you get; eventually it is all you get. That happened to ants, and snakes, sharks. probably to the Tasmanian Devil and every other creature that ended up with only a few monstrous characteristics.

It is not an inevitable of the military mind to be forever ignorant of galactic rotation and the right it presents in coordination with ecliptic and equatorial right. That right can be predicted and an advantage. It may be that military concepts of right are concealed in order to prevent other entities from predicting their actions. Yet not to regulate military power carefully is dangerous to a world this small when weapons are so large. For a military to act in response to civil, economic and human rights that are of benefit to life, even where the action is one of enforcement, is no disgrace and it is within strategists to see to it that military effectiveness is not compromised by enemy knowledge of the rights that are among the goals. That makes it easier to impose win-win situations where an opponent refuses to recognize such possibilities of its own free will.

At the present time the slaughter and "harvesting" of wild sentient beings living species as if they are so much dirt, mineral ore. That kind of ruinously aggressive consumption was made possible with the invention of high energy, high power inanimate machines and high energy processing of any and everything organic fed into it into something edible. It is that kind of rapacious unconcerned aggression that has caused world populations of many species to plummet and many species to disappear forever in extinction. The "harvesting" is not as if anyone was cultivating, tilling or herding the creatures; they were simple natural creatures wild and free.

To be sure, it is possible that only the military will be permitted to solve the problems presented by the tragedy of the commons, including the burgeoning overpopulation of the world by human beings who reproduce in impoverished desperate hope for some better life than that which they can give children. Earth risks making an infestation of the human species. Traditional military approaches are not likely to be of much help in alleviating the rape of wildlife, and militaries hate being classified as plural. They are the teeth and scales of zero sum games.

If human legislation does not begin to take careful account of all three celestial planes of rotational asymmetry, in the context of exterior galactic cosmology, no long-term solutions will come to pass at all. The earth's people will leave galactic rotation unresolved, imagining it has nothing to do with them, and wonder at the slow changes since ancient times in the past, as the human species becomes more narrowly constrained to the few things it sees as greatest of its values, and is suaged into abandoning the many interesting, varied and enjoyable amusements of which none constitutes a dominant interest. You get a few things that you want most and nothing else.

In that case Earth will continue to be dominated by Ancients of Days and Ancients of Years, utterly dumb, blind and ignorant about the possibility of an antiquity true in Galactic right.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration provided, with the Very Large Array, a sufficiently certain, accurate, positive, and deterministic measure of the rate at which the Solar System moves around the Milky Way, often called, and not too inaccurately, Galactic Rotation.

Yet no sign seems to have appeared in any of the world's governments, or its legislative bodies or royal lineages, of any determination of right in terms of Galactic Rotation. Several popular laws absolutely MUST be enacted that can be made world wide, and are sound, certain, determinate and recognizably consistent with not only Constitutional and Universal Human rights, but right as it is known in terms of all these four things

I. The firmament of exterior galaxies;

II. the slow, majestic and historically continuing turning of the Milky Way;

III. the annual, Ecliptic astrological familiar in the calendaring of years;

IV. and the Equatorial daily rotations of the Earth, upon which Universal Human Rights are based.

To be sure, cognoscenti in governments and at the United Nations have since its formation been conscious of exterior galaxies. More is possible. Very large numbers of human beings are quick enough to understand that political, social and other human rights are meaningful not only in the daily rotation demonstrated by the Foucault Pendulum but also the annual motion of the Earth around the Sun, and the geologically slow motion of the entire Solar System with the Earth in tow, around the Milky Way galaxy.

When a piece of legislation that is essentially of positive value and not ridden with pork barrel earmarks comes through which has been graced by specific mention of all three sources of right, cooked perhaps throughout a considerable period of years, or some existing laws that have passed the test of time and can be recognized as consistent with all of those are identified by jurists, then rapid progress is likely to be possible in their light.

Otherwise even going to the Moon again, we are all just going round in circles. And this spinning mote can't do it all.

On winding down space exploration and dealing with Earth

Since the telescope was invented, and particularly since rockets and space flight, measurement and gauge of objects apart from Earth has been fast and accurate. It was fast because it was urgent. Understandably, mankind had been concerned about the possible danger to Earth of organisms or even invasion from intelligent species that might inhabit the other planets of the solar system. From ancient time until recently that was a legitimate concern, and so the initial exploration of the solar system was made as quickly, comprehensively and detailed as possible considering the time constraints and formidable technical challenges.

Fortunately, the capability of instruments alone, without manned missions, proved to be far better than had been imagined prior to the development of computers. The result is that the sober and prudently reasonable probability of significant life on any other planet or object in the solar system has been reduced to so close to zero as to make it worth considering as actual zero in the balance of assets and liabilities for the Earth; in the balance of risk and reward; and in the analysis of cost and benefit for deeper concern.

The possibility of micro-organism life has not been ruled out completely, although in the absence of importing such organisms to Earth, that too appears to pose no danger to Earth.

In fact, only a very small number of places in this star system appear to be capable of supporting any life at all, even micro-organisms. This is much smaller number than was thought possible in the 18th century when most of the 1950’s fear or at least serious concern, was raised. The Moon and Mars are likely to be, for a very long time, the only places human beings can actually visit unless manned flights to asteroids or moons of other planets are considered. Mercury and Venus have temperatures forbidding human exploration for centuries, possibly much longer. Phobos and Deimos, the two tiny moons of Mars, are so small and airless they are present essentially no interest. This is also true of every other moon in the solar system except a small number of moons at Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and possibly Neptune. The great gas planets are of literally nebulous concern. Their ten, thirty, 85 and 165-year orbits have been used for a long time in power struggles between and within nations, and these struggles should be stripped bare of deceit for the entire population of Earth.

The cost of much intense further exploration of the solar system is thus rapidly diminishing in comparison with the value that is certain to be attained on serious large scale consensus of what the existing measures of the solar system actually mean for Earth and its peoples.

As long as concern is raised that further space flights of exploration, adventure, and determination of exotic threat from beyond Earth is worrisome, the result will be to dissuade human beings from drawing proper sober, practical conclusions that are already possible and necessary.

Space flight within the solar system will always be possible, but because of its monstrous cost, it should be carefully evaluated on the basis of its necessity, particularly where other more mundane yet vital necessities exist.

Even Earth-orbit flight is being reviewed more carefully, because the number of objects in earth orbit has become so large as to constitute a junk and litter problem, which arose recently in a collision between two satellites. A more conservative approach is welcome in all aspects of space flight, and though the earth-orbit systems have proved their worth in communications, weather and global positioning services which all have returned the cost of their launch, Earth orbit has become sort of a nonrenewable zone that must be allocated carefully to serve the most vital needs.

A nasty hard line only too easy to encounter in this kind of reasoning, is the problem that while the population of human beings already strains the planet and is estimated by some to be beyond the planet’s carrying capacity, some populations are in conditions of famine, plague and violence. This contrast makes Schadenfreude almost unavoidable, and in this context glaukenstucken is almost unavoidable as well.

Yet the simple truth is that procreation is quite capable of going far beyond reason. Examples of plague and infestation are legion, including locusts, frogs, bubonic plague, smallpox and others by the hundreds. Human beings do not want to make of themselves a pestilence on or in a planet which they understand. This is the terrible contradiction of the times.

In other words, while correct conclusions are already possible regarding the solar system, solutions to the problems Earth already faces are not yet attainable without great cost and determined undertaking. More struggles to determine more about the solar system in the vanishing hope of finding significant life on other celestial bodies, and struggles to find other problems from space, are only diverting attention away from serious problems already existing and well known here on Earth. Determination to spend huge sums on space flight at this time can be called a symptom of escapism.

Because of the intensity of Earth’s problems such as population pressures, destruction of Earth’s wild living species with the attendant killing of sentient beings, and other development factors such as the proper long-term evolution of cities, architecture, and human systems, conclusions of this sort are vital.

They should be drawn up among international consultants, probably in cooperation with other responsible organizations, and with the guidance of persons expert in the better doctrines of knowledge available today. This is not, of course, a place where casual reckoning will suffice even though many of the most carefully reasoned conclusions are likely to be common-sense. They will in that case be ever so much more gladly welcomed by the world’s people, and they should be surprising to few.

Good and honest conclusions should be drawn about which factors beyond Earth are likely to remain unchanged for long periods of time, such as millions of years, and which are capable of posing any new situations for Earth. For instance, every sign exists that the Moon and Mars will be essentially unchanging throughout the next two hundred fifty million year Galactic cycle; that the same is true for all the other airless bodies in stable orbits; and that even other bodies such as Jupiter and Saturn, which have thick atmospheres, are not likely to present disruptive events in the foreseeable future, possibly on the galactic time scale as well. In any case, such future events of that kind as exist are not predictable and it will be possible to address them only when they occur.

Much valuable work already exists, on the other hand, regarding those factors in the solar system which, usually because of orbital paths, might pose problems to Earth. The main ones are the Near Earth Objects, for asteroids large and small pose measurable dangers from collisions with Earth. Meteor crater in Arizona is a good example. Development of programs to catalog such objects and determine the danger they present is already well under way, needs continued funding but not seriously strange new paths of research, and is important.

In other words, the accurate determination of what Earth needs to know is already either complete in preliminary yet assuring status, or is ongoing. But it is confused with a great deal of hype, jingoism, speculation, exploitation, graft, boondoggling, advertising, and venture capitalism that is often in not only relentless pursuit of profits, but is callous in its approach to the cultivation of Earth as the only planet that will positively present a sanctuary for life for a long, long time. Principles which conceivably might permit flight to the stars continue to exist only in the imagination, and could be cosmologically forbidding for many generations – possibly many thousands of years, or more. Already it is known that even with fusion powered ion or photon rockets, the mass ratio of a vehicle capable of reaching even the nearest star is extremely far beyond technological feasibility. Whatever science might permit flight to other star systems is not even conceivable yet.

Like a band of travelers finding themselves on a small but habitable island, which walks around it three or four times and swims to a half dozen rocks lying offshore, yet remains reluctant to admit it is where it is for years. Eventually it begins to find that time has passed; its member remain alive and the convincing fact is that they are surviving and more, even managing to make themselves comfortable at the slight cost of discarding much of what they thought were essentials of civilization. Soon they realize they have become much like islanders everywhere since the dawn of time, and will live. Presuming of course only that they are a mixed company.

So it is to be expected that in the light of correct assessment of the situation Earth faces in the solar system and truly expected future, there is to be a general devolution of civilization to some extent. Just what this means is not clear, nor is it clear that the best course will be obvious without a good deal of presentation of the problem to the world or at least to the American public. Yet the world is in desperate need of the best possible determination. What it needs is for good problem-solvers to step forth and speak to the issue. This will include political leaders of experience, honesty, good faith and sound judgment, as well as the testimonies of persons who have been in space.

Fortunately, the latter includes persons of widely diverse range expertise and viewpoint. The dialogue should be international. Even if some player nations insist on maintaining theirs is the only solution, they should take opinions from all the world into account. The primary points of the resulting “planetary doctrine” should be a relatively small number of salient facts, with an emphasis on dealing, in the light of those facts, with several major and intense problems which are already well known.

Known problems probably span the field of all Earth’s eventual problems fairly well. In other words, while problems are certain to arise, they are not often to be of an unusual kind.

Examples of known kinds of problems include weather, earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunami, violence, economic instability, disease and plague, accident, economic inequality, over population, destruction of the habitat of Earth, the killing of sentient creatures, pollution and others.

Assets should be assessed candidly and realistically as well. This is not unlike the small island scenario. Assets include ancient and traditional technology, some of which already is or may be increasingly returned to prevalent use; new technology, some of which may be kept and developed, others of which may be abandoned; and future technology, of which development should be significantly sustained on the basis of existing need for it.

The existing consciousness of Earth suffers only from too much complexity and an unwillingness to distil the menagerie of ideas toward a comprehensive statement of fact that is not too much a bourgeoning plethora of opinions and represents the essential necessary and sufficient facts that will be considered equally important a hundred or thousand years from now. All the good ideas seem to be flowing already among a vast flood of information from which they are difficult to extract.

EXTERIOR COSMOLOGY A POSSIBLE CAUSE OF ECONOMIC COLLAPSE

Dear Nick,

This has to do with the red shift equation which I discovered in 1981, twenty two years after learning of the problem in Columbia High School in Richland - the atomic town next to Hanford, Washington. A few weeks after you refreshed for me, doctrine containing the relevant second order partial differential equations.

You may be pleased to know the equation's ten years of presentation on the internet was:

a. Possibly a factor in naming the James Bond movie "Quantum of Solace";

b. Probably led to a television comedy show, "The Big Bang Theory"; and

c. Alluded to on a PBS science show on astronomy earlier this month when it was remarked that "the steady-state theory still has its adherents and they are holding their own".

This equation was led in, its sophisticated adherence to Reed standards of order and University of Washington graduate standards of logic, the realm of those protesting the Big Bang "theory" which we regarded as a political expedient having to do with political, economic, and military expansion throughout the world.

The gridlock has been broken and terrestrial cosmology is now being flooded by native light from the exterior cosmology.

The slow rate of development is not surprising. You mentioned when I was attending Reed that the 1926 discovery of the Schrodinger wave equation was only three years prior to the 1929 stock market crash, and made it obvious the probability of a causal relationship could not be avoided. I recalled that by 1985 when I moved back to Seattle from Aberdeen.

After it was on the internet it was soon clear that even though I could obtain only informal notoriety in personal returns for the equation, it would have eventual effect on the world because minimum action paths from discovery to global assimilation could not be avoided if it were persistently before the public.

I...first put it on the internet at msn.com by 1994, when I moved into this Seattle Housing Authority apartment building. It seemed I was being discouraged in the name of what an only be called a Cold War vestige of national security paranoia, yet I had been so indoctrinated that within two or three years I removed it. With my small income, I could use the money.

Shortly after that, Nico Benschop, an engineer at Phillips Electric in the Netherlands, emailed me asking where it was; he had seen it, wanted to read it again. After he heard it had been removed, he offered to host it at his web site there. That seemed reasonable, a little audacious perhaps but feasible and I agreed. The equation is still there, though most of the document was removed as it was not being read.

Later, about 2000, I could afford an ISP, Eskimo North, and presented the document there, where the first few pages and a table of contents remain, with links to the Eskimo North web site here.

Visitors to both web sites continue, more in Europe where it appears the subject has more popular interest, somewhat less here where, because it is technical, it is regarded as a possible security concern.

The concept of a new power balance in the universe is mentioned in the document.

Now to be less selfish about it, it is necessary to understand that the possibility of a causal relationship between Schrodinger's hydrogen atom wave equation and the great 1929 stock market crash is a matter of scientific necessity. That is, if integrity is to rule in the sciences, it is vital to admit that the wave equation is among the possible causes of economic regression to evolutionary scale activity. If integrity is to rule today, this author must admit that the discovery of an equation which fits the cosmological phenomenon of the Hubble Red Shift could be among the causes of economic recession today. At first the economic ripples seemed amusing. They are not, now.

The equation suggests that all energy approaching Earth in the field of light-like radiation is slowly changing as it approaches and passes our planet. When it arrives, it is at the wavelength, frequency, etc. that is observed here.

An equivalent to that statement can be made for each of the five other proportional variables of energy, momentum, wavenumber, wavetime, and frequency. To be complete, they are presented below for ENERGY, WAVELENGTH, FREQUENCY, WAVENUMBER, MOMENTUM, and WAVETIME

These are the only six variables in the wave, besides phase. There are only two constants:

a. The speed of light c has two dimensions, distance and time; it is the ratio of distance to time, x/t where x is a measure of distance, as, meters or miles, and t is a measure of time, as, seconds or years. Radar traffic police are familiar users of this constant.

The speed of light can also be expressed as the product of wavelength and frequency. That makes wavelength of the fundamental quantities in the cosmology of life, and although wavelength is quite variable, certain specific wavelengths appear in quantum transitions which are essential fundamentals of molecular species, hence, of living species. In living organisms, the measure of length is the length of the organism, and frequency is a sensitive variable to organisms both because of their molecular frequencies and those associated with their size. This relates human activity to quantum activity, and quantum activity is a major part of the world of amoebas, germs, and viruses.

In other words, it is possible the continued progress in understanding the world of light-like radiation and its relationship to living organisms, is beginning to require that human beings respond on a quantum scale to their environment. That fits, with the extreme production of containers, such as bottled water and every other kind of box, carton, jug, can, and barrel. In this activity, phase is one of the phenomenon which has direct impact on members of living species, including human. To make it short, modern physics and discoveries in astronomy have phased the human species.

b. The action quantum h has four dimensions, of which two are distance, one is an energy equivalent in classical mechanics to a mass through the equation E = m c^2, and the other is time or its inverse, frequency. This is a common source of confusion; in nature, frequency and energy have a constant ratio, and certain other measures have the same ratio. That ratio is called the action quantum. It is like a liter container for fluids; it can come in many different shapes such as a long thin tube; a cube, a parallelepiped, pyramid, sphere, or any of the various shapes of the familiar liter plastic water bottles.

I. ENERGY All light-like approaching Earth from space comes from higher energy than observed here, and as it passes and recedes from Earth its energy continues to slowly diminish.

II. WAVELENGTH All light-like approaching Earth from space comes from shorter wavelength than observed here, and as it passes and recedes from Earth its wavelength continues to slowly increase.

III. FREQUENCY All light-like approaching Earth from space comes from higher frequency than observed here, and as it passes and recedes from Earth its frequency continues to slowly decrease.

IV. WAVENUMBER All light-like approaching Earth from space comes from greater wavenumber than observed here, and as it passes and recedes from Earth its wavenumber continues to slowly diminish.

V. MOMENTUM All light-like approaching Earth from space comes from greater momentum than observed here, and as it passes and recedes from Earth its momentum continues to slowly increase.

VI. WAVETIME All light-like approaching Earth from space comes from shorter wavetime than observed here, and as it passes and recedes from Earth its wavetime continues to slowly increase.

That's the situation; the whole world is being phased by light. It always was, only now the exterior firmament is eternal for sure, because those distant galaxies will not significantly change position more than their own diameters during the entire coming orbit of the Solar System around the Milky Way - 250 million years of future. It's the same firmament that theologians have always known is of vital importance in the forms of the developing young in the womb. That's why the Schrodinger wave equation had such massive impact within a few years after its 1926 discovery, and why the Hubble Red Shift equation is having such massive impact now.
