  Re: Are Russians starting to turn white?         


Author: Bill
Date: Aug 19, 2008 22:42

That picture of Peter the Great in Mr. Putin's office
has got me wondering if it is possible that Russians
are turning "White" nowadays.   Maybe those
brilliant Russian scientists have invented a sort
of "lightener cream" for the mind, one that can turn a
Red mind White, or at least "white" enough so the user
can "pass" in a world where being a Red dinosaur
is totally out of fashion.    I realize that for many
decades after the Revolution, White Russians
where considered anathema in the Russia where
the prole was king.    Actually, your typical White
Russian was far more pleasant and better educated
than an unshaven, unwashed, vodka swilling Red-nosed
prole.  So now, when the ruler of the country has a
picture of of Peter the Great hanging in his office 
instead of a picture of Stalin, one might wonder if
Russia is not trying to be White again, while the last
vestiges of Red Russia -- those faded tips of the
Communist tail -- fade away and fall off.   Of course,
really it is a moot issue.    Most of the Czars were ...

  Quantum order in the atom: the wiggle and the jiggle         


Author: BURT
Date: Aug 19, 2008 22:17

When asked about quantum mechanics Richard Feynman said: Everything
jiggles.

A subatomic particle in the nucleus called a nucleon jiggles because
it has a tiny quantum wave. But an electron has a wave 1836 times
bigger making the jiggle almost 2000 times the size. This huge jiggle
is better called a wiggle.

So in the nucleus there is a jiggle of nucleons and at the surface of
the atom the electrons jiggle 1836 times larger than the nucleons. I
call this huge jiggle a wiggle. Electrons wiggle.

I call the wiggle and jiggle collectively the order of quantum motion.
The motion order of the small.

  Why mass doesn't resist freefall         


Author: BURT

Mass resists changes of motion of a frame of a body outside of
gravity. Gravity can move any size of mass. In that it could move a
potentially infinite mass its power is potentially infinite.

  Newsflash: Results of the 2008 California Standardized Test         


Author: RichAsianKid
Date: Aug 19, 2008 11:48

Here's the latest news -- the 2008 California Standardized Test
Results are out!!

There's a lot of data. What I've done is to summarize some of
the data and present it in 4 areas in selected grades:

(1) CST - English/Language Arts (senior grades)
(2) CST - Math at the junior levels (as math then branches off into
algebra, integrated math, geometry etc making comparisons more
difficult)
(3) CST - Physics/Chem/Bio at the End of Course (EOC)
(4) CST - Life Sciences at the Grade 5, Grade 8, and Grade 10 levels

Here're the snapshots of the results:

sample- thus not reported)

You couldn't tell, anyway, if it were a perfectly absolute simulation.

Nor could the guy who did it say whether or not his world was a
simulation.

Semantics, though not only, since there may be limits on knowledge in
3D plus time.

Similar, though not identical, to spanspermia stuff: where did the
seeds *originate*.

  Light has no electric charge or magnetic poles

The forms of the electric and magnetic fields for light is different
than for matter's. It is like a monopole.

  Riemanian motion curve         


Author: Mitch Raemsch

Most objects are following angles to the curves of space. Depending
upon slower speed the space curve will be enhanced as the steeper
Riemanian motion curve.

  I know how God created the universe         


Author: Mitch Raemsch
Date: Aug 17, 2008 17:54

Space-time hyperpshere came first as a singularity that expanded into
the continuum. Then God created neutrons spread out through dark
energy and the strong field.

These neutrons decayed into protons and electrons which radiated the
first blast of light as they formed hydrogen. Neutrinos were created
at the neutron decay also. And the universe continued to expand.

  The densest object ages the least

Singularities would be the end of time. I believe these do not exist.
Instead at the extreme of gravity there is something short of a black
hole. I believe that is a quark star where time is running slow. Even
a neutron star will age slower.
