Prolapsus des hémorroïdes internes

La plupart des prolapsus des hémorroïdes internes peuvent être repoussées dans l'anus mais parfois votre fournisseur de soins peut avoir besoin de les réduire en les poussant délicatement avec une pression constante.

Si les hémorroïdes restent gonflées et emprisonné en dehors de l'anus et rien n'est fait à ce sujet, le tissu hémorroïdes peuvent ne pas recevoir suffisamment de sang et peut s'infecter. Dans de telles situations, la chirurgie peut être nécessaire pour résoudre le problème. hemorroides traitement

Hémorroïdes thrombosées

Thrombosées hemorroides externes peuvent être douloureux et sont associés à une masse dure qui se fait sentir à l'anus et ne peut être repoussée à l'intérieur. Le plus souvent, le caillot dans les hémorroïdes devront être enlevés avec une petite incision. Hemorroides Traitement médical

Après anesthésie locale est placé sous la peau entourant les hémorroïdes, un scalpel est utilisé pour couper dans la région et le caillot est retiré. Il ya le soulagement presque instantané de la douleur aiguë, mais une douleur sourde peut se poursuivre.

Il peut y avoir quelques saignements légers de l'hémorroïde pour un couple de jours. Bains de siège et de médicaments contre la douleur over-the-counter peut être recommandée.

L'utilisation d'un beignet de caoutchouc ou de l'air en caoutchouc peut aider à la douleur aussi. Prévenir la constipation est aussi une priorité.

Hemorroides traitement

2011-12-20T15:04:00.001-05:00

Prendre soin de soi à la maison
Le traitement symptomatique pour les hemorroides peut être fait à la maison.

Chaudes des bains de siège

Assis dans quelques centimètres d'eau tiède trois fois par jour pendant 15-20 minutes peut aider à diminuer l'inflammation des hémorroïdes.
Il est important de sécher la région anale après chaque bain complètement Sitz pour minimiser l'irritation de la peau entourant l'anus.

Modification du régime alimentaire hemorroide traitement

Augmentation de l'apport hydrique et de fibres alimentaires (fourrage grossier) va diminuer le potentiel de la constipation et réduire la pression sur le rectum et l'anus pendant la selle, ce qui minimise encore une enflure, des malaises et des saignements. Des suppléments de fibres alimentaires peuvent également aider à augmenter votre masse des selles

Emollients fécaux

Émollients fécaux peut aider, mais une fois les hémorroïdes sont présents, des selles liquides peuvent causer une inflammation et une infection de l'anus. Votre professionnel de la santé et le pharmacien sont de bonnes ressources pour discuter de leur utilisation. Hemorroides traitement

Les symptômes des hémorroïdes

2011-12-07T10:43:00.001-05:00

Le symptôme le plus commun et de signer des hémorroïdes est un saignement indolore. Il peut y avoir du sang rouge vif à l'extérieur des selles, sur le papier toilette, ou d'égouttement dans les toilettes. Le saignement est habituellement auto-limitation. hemorroides traitement

Saignement avec une selle n'est jamais normale et devrait entraîner une visite chez un professionnel de la santé. Alors que les hémorroïdes sont la cause la plus commune de saignement avec un mouvement d'entrailles, il peut y avoir d'autres raisons d'avoir des saignements y compris les maladies inflammatoires de l'intestin, les infections et les tumeurs.

Prolapsus des hémorroïdes internes

Prolapsus d'une hémorroïde interne se produit lorsque les hémorroïdes internes et d'étendre la houle de leur localisation dans le rectum par l'anus. Un prolapsus hémorroïdes internes:

peut être ressenti comme une boule en dehors de l'anus;

peut être doucement repoussé par l'anus, cela peut résoudre le problème de prolapsus, mais ne résout pas les hémorroïdes lui-même;

peut l'agrandir et grossir encore plus si elles ne peuvent pas être repoussées;

peuvent rester coincés, ce qui nécessite une attention médicale.

Les hémorroïdes peuvent également causer des démangeaisons ou prurit autour de l'anus, et un sentiment constant de devoir avoir un mouvement d'entrailles.

Les hémorroïdes externes thrombosées

Thrombosées hémorroïdes externes sont une condition douloureuse. Ces survient lorsqu'un caillot sanguin se développe dans l'enflure et l'inflammation provoquant les hémorroïdes.

Quand un caillot de sang se produit dans une hémorroïde, les hémorroïdes seront encore plus gonflés. Ce gonflement entraîne des douleurs accrues.

La douleur est habituellement pire avec les selles et peut augmenter avec la position assise.

Thrombosées hémorroïdes externes ont souvent besoin de soins et traitements médicaux.

ACTION CHAIN LETTER 10: Largely Supplement to ACLs 1-9

by Richard DePersio (Facebook: NASA_Ares; YouTube: Rickaddsite; www.rickcmtsite.(& rickaddsite & depersio)blogspot.com)

Anecdote: He was 10 years of age and unlike his fellow inmates didn't fear the

guards (nuns) nor the principal (penguin no. 1). Sister Patrick Maureen

imparted instructions to the class: "Upon completion of exam, bring

it to my desk, return to your seat and read anything of your choosing -

just don't disturb your classmates who are still taking the test."

He completed exam toot-sweet; just answering enough questions

correctly to barely pass. He proceeded to read his astronomy book.

Sister P.M. walked down the aisle to his desk (boys so much

preferred being seated in the back). She said with a loud and stern

voice: "Put that garbage away. I'll give you something good to

read!" He looked up at her and said: "If I don't read this garbage,

I don't read anything! Think about what you told the class about

test and reading." To everyone's shock, she turned around, walked

back to her desk and said: "He's right. I did say that you could

read what you wanted to read. He stood tall in the saddle (desk).

He couldn't relish his victory long for when P.M. commenced to

teach, he got up without permission, took an A.D.D. walk to the

window and starred and became a day dreamer.

-Citizen Journalist

As always, we shall cover science, technology, politics, economics and if we

have time one other thing...Remind us for distraction might cause us to

forget...

Let's briefly revisit Constellation (Ares 1, Ares 5, Orion, Altair). We talked

about our $9 billion investment in the program's R &D plus successful

testing of Ares 1x - the experimental rocket precursor to (?) operational

Ares 1. And, how Obama wants to initiate new program from scratch, as

opposed to, building on Constellation. He's so very good at wasting

your $$$s! Many, if not most, Republicans and even some Democrats

have other ideas - saving money!!!

Orion might be continued; spacecraft was to carry 4 astros to the

moon (Obama canceled Moon Project, find out shortly why that was

another stupid idea) and 6 on missions beyond the moon; although, Obama

wants to reduce that number to 4 if this portion of Constellation continues.

We should build on:

The two-stage (plus solid booster rockets)Ares 1 would carry 4 astros to and

from International Space Station or unmanned 55,000 pounds of supplies,

instruments, equipment (About the same amount in weight as Space

Shuttle which carries astros plus up to 55,000 pounds). Orion perched on Ares.

Aries 1 is a heavy-lifter while Ares 5 would be a super-heavy-lifter able

to lift cargo weighing up to 350,000 pounds (with larger Orion) to ISS and

160,000 pounds to the moon or beyond (you would have two Orions for a

mission - one manned and the other unmanned). It too would consist of

two-stages plus boosters). The second stage would be an evolved Saturn-5

third stage and called an EDS (Earth Departure System or ETV {Earth Transfer Vehicle}). (Please read or reread our original proposals: "ATBTC: Action Chain Letter 5" proposals 10-12 at /group/rickcosmos-eclectic and "Action Chain Letter 9..." topic 1 at /group/nasa-our-way) and ACL 9 addendum regarding NERVA and

Saturn S-N and safer liquid boosters).

Why was Obama's decision to cancel Moon Project another blunder. Experts

contend that we will only be able to get 25 to 30% of our electricity from solar

and wind by 2035 (that's why we need to "Drill, Baby, Drill,' do more clean coal

and built more nuclear fission plants and, later, fusion plants (see ACL 9 on

how NASA can help with the latter) and never more - but wait....

Mining the moon inexpensively for He-3 (for fusion plants) and silicon for

solar panels in orbit not on earth would enable lunar exploration and technological

development followed by private sector (see ACL 9 and ATC - ATBTC: Together...

A New Beginning at /group/newfederalism, /group/nasa-our-way, /group/

sciencerepublicans). We might be able to secure up to one-third of our electricity

by 2030 in a cost-effective manner unlike damn subsidized solar arrays on terra ferma!

Ares rockets represent cutting-edge launch technology and evolved powerful

Apollo and Space Shuttle propulsion elements. Ares partially builds on Apollo and

Space Shuttle, as well as, develops brand-new technologies. If we aren't going to

continue Constellation at least built on it and, thereby, save green (in more ways than

one).

(See previous ACLs for suggestions on who to contact in congress, how and what

to say as regards ACL Proposals).

Let's continue with NASA... Sleeping air traffic controllers...Why not extend SATS?

(Action Chain Letter 8: Fast Forward Future..." Expanded Version).

Commercial airlines have employed an automatic pilot for decades; the pilot was

necessary to take-off and land the jet, as well as, seize control from AP in the event

of an emergency. In recent years, the Space Shuttle with on-board computer and

instrumentation along with ground control can land without manual control.

Let's not forget flying drones - preprogrammed flight but with increasing capability

to make in-flight changes. Most commercial jets have a pilot along for the ride or

for emergency purposes; the technology exists for take-off and landing without

need of human. How sad. That's progress?

Proposal 48: Save taxpayers money. No need for air traffic controllers, especially,

during non-peak hours. The airliner retrofitted with the right equipment, such as,

on-board radar and access to computer in the tower and communication voice-to-

voice and computer-to-computer with another plane (s) in the area should be

able to land with no trouble and, eventually, 24/7. Costly in the short run;

astronomically large savings in the long-run. (Further, integration of SATS into

the larger air travel system will mean less traffic at large airports).

Lousy Little Lying Liberals (my copyrighted alliteration). The super-rich and the

rich...did you enjoy segue? We were talking about how NASA could save as

tons of money in three areas and now we're talking economics proper....don't

pay their fair share of taxes - the wealthiest Americans - the top 1% pay over 40%

of federal income taxes - - and that's up from 33% in 1996; further, the top 3% take

care of 75% of FIT! Libs: We should raise taxes on the rich making them pay

their fair share - my useless foot! Less you forget: Laffer Curve. Supplied-Side

Economics (libs disparagingly refer to it as trickle-down) was proven valid by JFK

(it's ironic: libs idolize him; they're too stupid to realize that he was anything but

a liberal!), Ronnie Reagan and 'W.' Eco/Fin Crisis caused by lip-of-wrist senator

barney frank's fannie and freddie; fed; unions. Progressive income tax punishes

people for working hard - knocked up to a much higher bracket; the antithesis

of capitalism. Studies have shown that over a ten year period in America that

you have a two-third chance of going up a notch and a one-third chance of

going south when the categories are: non-working poor, working-poor, lower

middle-class, mid middle-class, upper middle-class, rich and super-rich.

Force working in opposition: lib; they have a vested interest in getting as

many people on social services as possible, keeping them on ss for as long as

possible and giving them as many hand-outs as possible (things that they

don't need or more than they need in a particular category) for the poor vote

overwhelmingly democrat. It has become a generational thing: children,

parents and grandparents on ss. Sad but true! Libs have destroyed the old

Protestant Work Ethic, the Traditional Family and a Strong Sense of Right and

Wrong. Hell, people on the public dole have been sapped of their pride; they

think they deserve ss - that it is owed them. They never demand less or only what

they need. We are not talking about the truly needy; we are talking about the

parasitic bums.

Clinton vetoed Workfare twice before being forced by Republicans to sign

it in the election year of '96; he was afraid that Republicans would use it as a

political weapon against him for Americans were getting sick-and-tired at the

time with freeloaders. When it worked, Billy-boy took the bows; few know this:

Upon becoming president one of the first executive orders Obama signed

with to weaken the Workfare Program - remember: votes from the poor. Tis

a pity for millions got off the doll.

Obama lies: Representative Ryan wants to cut taxes for super-rich; he

wants to cut taxes for everyone and eliminate deductions save mortgage and

charitable (he does it again: do you remember Rick Chain Letter in which

he proposed protecting those two deductions; Rickcosmos ahead of the curve -

do kiss his ring when you see him - - wait! Hardly anyone sees him). Ryan

wants to cut their loopholes to boot. Fascinating: Obama's Debt Commission

proposed self-same thing with one difference, they proposed a top rate lower

than Ryan!

LBJ (Liberal-Boy Johnson) so-called "Great Society" social programs have

cost us 16 trillion!!! since the mid-'60s while the percentage of non-working

poor and working poor has remained the same. So much for his war against

poverty! Due to an increase in population, the numbers have risen; same

percentage-wise, more in actual numbers. Would have been worse if it hadn't

been for Workfare 1996-2007 (2007, Obama watered it down - creep!).

PROPOSAL 49: We hereby endorse "Faith-based Programs." Studies have

shown that they do a more effective job in helping people for they are about

a 'hand-up' rather than a 'hand-out.' Libs hate these programs largely

composed of committed volunteers. Bush funneled White House discretionary

funds to these programs, in spite of, congress. Another of the first Obama

executive orders was to take the God component out - if a religious group

wanted funds for a particular program. It is the God-component that causes

these programs to succeed; something that Obama really doesn't want!

Fed funds can't be used for version of a program with the God-component.

Bleeding heart liberals - my other lousy foot! If they were truly compassionate,

they wouldn't care what it took to get people back on their feet!!!!

Would has been their policy: create new and expand existing social programs -

throw good taxpayer money after bad. Their way failed; try a new approach and

saved tons of taxpayer money with the effective FBPs.

Discrimination - yes, we are accusing the bastards of it - if money goes to

secular charities, it should mean an equal amount for church and other

religious programs.

Separation-of-Church-and State: lib lie and myth; just read "Declaration of

Independence," U.S. Constitution, including, Bill of Rights" and Federalist

Papers. Look at religion in the colonies and the states at the time of our

nation's founding; look at where services were held in D.C. and who attended

those services; look at the real meaning of 'separation' in the personal

letter that Jefferson wrote to a minister reaffirming Washington and Adams;

look at Tom's action regarding God and the Bible in D.C. and as regards

an Indian tribe which was interested in learning about Christianity - action

involving taxpayer money; look at the major role religion played in

government - things began to change in '30s, especially, '60s in America. Our

children are taught lies in most public schools. Look at Webster's dictionary

in the 1800s; look at pre-30s, especially, pre-60s school books.

This from someone who doesn't hold traditional views on God and religion.

Moderates and Conservatives favor FBPs - who are the compassionate ones.

Or, even better, eliminate all subsidies to secular and religious orgs and reduce

S.S.I., food stamps and welfare (with no annual inflation/cost-of-living increase)

after person has been on it for three years. Welfare mothers shouldn't receive

Aid to Dependent Children; they shouldn't be allowed to keep their children (many

have more children for more social services). Cruel to separate mother from

child? Think of the child. Study after study has shown that a child is best off

in a mom-and-dad household functional followed by mom/dad dysfunctional

followed by single parent functional and, bringing up the rear, single-parent

dysfunctional. Children in single parent households most likely to grow-up

to drink and/or/ take drugs and/or be unable to hold down a job and/or drop

out of high school and/or wind up in jail or prison and/or commit suicide.

Interestingly enough, the more educated and the more money a single women

has, the more likely she is to give up baby for adoption. Welfare mothers

should be forced to do so for the sake of the child. Americans are the most

giving people on the globe - they give more per capita to charities and

non-profits then people in any other country. People not gov the solution.

Americans will give even more if they see 'hand-out' programs being reduced.

Before fed social programs began in the 1940s and expanded in 1960s, people

had pride and did everything possible to avoid asking for help. When

desperate turned to family, friends, neighbors, church, Salvation Army, etc.

They got the help that they needed and no more. People knew that eventually

they would pay back or be available to offer other kind of assistance when

someone else required it.

We have arrived at that juncture again, the one in which we are compelled - we did

try mightily to resist - to pat ourselves on the back. Recently, S & P downgraded

prospect for U.S. Saving Bond; we predicted, as early as a year ago, we

could loose 'Triple A' Bond Rating within 5 years. Now, Charles Krathaumer,

political/economic commentator and former psychiatrist (we so enjoy that combo)

is predicting that it could happen in 2. He holds a degree in economics; we have

studied economics on our own since age 14. It is interesting: our foresight and

keen understanding....Enough already!

Bad Republican: we heretofore stated our hatred of all subsidies, including, oil

(Rs like) and wind power (Ds like; let risk capital investors not taxpayers gamble their

money).

PROPOSAL 50: End 'co-signing' loans for those who want to built nuclear fission

plants for up to 75%; taxpayer - no, high-risk investors - yes - Rs like. End all Federal

gov 'co-signing' even for small business loans. More blacks were able to start small

businesses because Nixon started Small Business Administration and sb loans than

because of what any other president did. Taxpayers should no longer take risk: if company

fails, we're left holding the bag; if company succeeds, we don't get $$$ - not even a

'Thank You' Note! (Not all sb loans go to blacks).

PROPOSAL 51:

This is sure to get us kicked out of GOP: Cut military spending by $300 billion over

10 years and freeze for 5 years with a full annual inflationary/cost of living increase.

NASA and military should focus on replacing aging GPS system. Military should

equip X-37B when operational with space-to-air and space-to-ground anti-missile

weapon. Violation of Space Treaty? It will only have weapon after war commences.

We have been reducing the number of nuclear warheads as per agreement with

Russia. Convert those ICBMs to anti- missile missiles; also, replace nuclear-tips

with conventional bombs. Traitor Obama bowed to Putin and promised not to

do such things - he denies it - just look at treaty; he claims that it doesn't count

because it is only in preamble, putin says otherwise. He is allowing Russia to

retain a 20,000 to 200 advantage in tactical (short-range) nuclear weapons. He sacrificed

all this for resumed inspections! Obama, we order you to make meaning of treaty

clear to Putin - although, you want Russia to be a super-power again (See "A Bad

Case of Treason"). We should have the right to do what we choose with nuclear de-fanged

ICBMs.

PROPOSAL 52:

We have military bases in 100 countries; we pay the bulk of the cost to defend Japan,

Germany and South Korea. Let's weigh the pros and cons, shall we. Our presence is

good for their economies; our presence gives us leverage with those countries. We

beat Germany and Japan in WW2 - a war that they started. We rebuilt those

countries and now they are economic powerhouses courtesy of Uncle Sam. Certainly,

they should pay the cost (don't forget: 'Cold War' over; we won) - 50% for 10 years,

67% thereafter. Besides, we can respond rapidly from a distance. South Korea is

indebted to us for a not so shabby economy. Step up to the plate. You're big boys

now. You can't hide behind Lady Liberty's 'skirt' forever.

Bolivia is partitioning the U.N. for human rights for "Mother Earth" and for a spokesman

(they forgot a lawyer). We are confident the backward and ignorant American libs will

endorse this preposterous proposal right after they secure human rights for animals!

To Whom it may Concern:

"Look in my face; my name is Might-have-been;

I am also called No-more, Too-late, Farewell."

-Christina Rossetti, 1830-1894

With a Nod toward the Late Rod Serling:

"Between the idea

And the reality

Between the motion

And the act

Falls the Shadow."

-T.S. Eliot, 1888-1965

A "Goodbye" Addams Family-Style:

"Lizzie Borden took an axe

And gave her mother forty whacks;

When she saw what she had done

She gave her farther forty-one!"

-Anonymous

(During the 1890s - trial in 1894 - little girls sang it while they played

jump-rope. Sweet).

(And, "Goodbye" to our Chosen People: the Jews).

That's all, Folks. We have an eerie feeling that we left something out or

pass(ed)-over something. Nah.

Transparency: Do we know him any better than one of Obama's 44 stealth czars?
Who are they and what do they do in the shadows by day and in the dark at

night when most good Americans are sleeping? If we know R.D., we need to

know more. Citizen Journalist (you can call me C.R. but you don't have to call

me Rick) always had a policy regarding books, especially, those of the

non-fiction variety. He wouldn't purchase a non-fiction which didn't contain an

"About the Author" section for he wanted to know the level of professionalism

and the degree of credence to place in the words of the scribe.

After an expensive and extensive search in four continents (North America,

South America, Europe and Antarctica), including, searching in garbage cans,

we learned the shocking truth!

He became interested in astronomy and space exploration at the age of six;

politics at ten; economics, foreign and defense policies at the ripe old age of

fourteen. American history - his roots - at eighteen. R.D. began to dabble in

various other sciences after nineteen. He didn't find the classroom conducive

to learning and likely enjoyed A.D.D. having been diagnosed with regular and

two variants as an adult. Only student to argue with nuns; didn't realize that that

was a no-no and that he was suppose to fear them. More pride of self-ed as

opposed to schooling. Strange kid (Not by design by via employing hindsight):

Started reading the newspaper at ten, everyday at thirteen; began attending

meetings at the local Republican club at fourteen - only kid there - - didn't

realize that he wasn't suppose to hobnob with the big shots.

Did that: Was involved with seven institutions of higher learning after

high school; motivated by the acquisition of paper. (Completed three years of

college) Earned an associate-of-arts degree in liberal arts with a concentration in

science journalism; certificates in computer applications, space and general

science, business management and medical assistance. R.D. completed an

internship in museum/science education.

The fun will begin momentarily....C.J. has opted to place Epilog prior to

Fun...Will resume article proper soon: same time, same channel...Is he a

grammatical though breaker?...Don't say a word: He packs a punch and has

big friends: on the couch are George, John, Tom and Jim, all about are Topper and

Harvey.

EPILOG

by Citizen Journalist

Obvious...Subtle...Superficial...Deep...Face-value...Multi-lay ed.....He never gives

his true age...Prides himself on his honesty...Shoots-from-the-Hip/Non-P.C./

Pulls-No-Punches....Thinks that he knows more about outside than people who

go outside...Modest International Man of Mystery...Look at him and what is

transpiring behind him...He resides In and Out of Plato's Cave...

His first black friend (we needn't say "African-American" because the

Reverend Jackson ordered everyone to do so in 1988) Harriman (who was

passing) said of "Krazy Kat" what C.R. thinks is applicable to R.D.:

"May in some time...let in the light which is now to our meager vision

denied...For you will understand him no better then we who linger on

this side of the pale."

"It's wot's behind me I am. It's the idea behind me (with ever-changing,

shifting backgrounds) and that's what I am."

"He is but a shadow of himself caught in the web of this mortal skein."

'cause of the cause.

As a child and teen and since exposed to old and new. Good taste and not as old

as you might think.

UPDATE: Action Chain Letter 8: Fast Forward Future/Rewind Roswell-Supplement (Expanded Version)

by Richard DePersio, Citizen Journalist

(Action Chain Letter 8 at groups.google.com/group/nasa-our-way and /group/rickcosmos-eclectic)

"The man worthy of praise the Muse forbids to die."

-Horace, 65-8 B.C. anticipated C.R. who in turn anticipated:

(Pat on one's own back as he soaks up accolades and applause at 'secret' comsat)

(Self-taught - since age 13, strange kid - Economist of the stellar {also owns a background in

astronomy and space science} prescient variety)

1) First estimated over three months ago in "Action Chain Letter" and reiterated in most recent

'ATL' that a minimum spending reduction of $5 trillion was necessitated and dictated and

supplied justification. Now, House Republicans are proposing debt reduction of $6 trillion;

2) First proposed one month ago and 'stuttered' in 'ACF 8' that Medicaid and Medicare

should be completely privatized after a chunk of the $40 billion in waste and fraud was

eliminated. House Repubs are proposing partial privatization of M & M.;

3) Calculated for the first time a month ago that real inflation was 20%. Now more

and more 'professional' economists are coming to share that view.

Stop...Please stop the applause...Stop, there is more:

A) We began stating about a year and a half ago in articles and more recently in 'ACLs'

that we shouldn't allow $8 billion invested in "Constellation" Program go down the

same presidential black hole as stimulus and cash-for-clunkers taxpayer money. We

encouraged our readers to contact member of congress in this regard. Recently, the

Chairman of the House (90% certain House; no one is perfect), (www.)Palazzo.house.

gov/public and member Hall.house.gov/public/ stated that Obama was in

violation of the law (what else is new) for Authorization Bill FY2011 and FY2012 called

for a new SPL (Space Launch System) and MPCV (Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle) for

space exploration. It dictated that it should built on technologies and capabilities of

Space Shuttle Program and 'canceled' (but still receiving funding) Constellation R & D

(in spite of Obama!). Not only did this approach make sense (and we were one of

the first championing it; most of the credit should go to readers who contacted

congress; displaying a modicum of modesty at this junction) but it would enable

continuity to NASA's skilled engineers and technicians, further, avoid massive

lay-offs at the space agency. It would mean uninterrupted progress toward SPL and

MPCV. Bills called for modifying and extending Constellation contracts to utilize

existing workforce and assets at areopace companies, further, avoid massive

lay-offs. This would limit change to the industrial base and workforce - put another

way: the GREAT NASA TEAM!!! Obama violates Intent of Congress when he

budgeted a paltry $1.2 billion for SPL and MPCV and claimed contrary to law

that their couldn't be a deep space mission in this decade. He should have

allocated $2.5 billion to be in compliance (See below and for greater detail

'ACLs' as to why NASA should be one of the few fed entities to be spared

the debt reduction axe). Just remember this: NASA's prime directive: manned

space flight; secondarily: the countless collateral benefits. We have

recommended and now members of congress are talking about diverting

funds from the bogus study of a run-a-way greenhouse effect causing global

warming by NASA (all or most of the $1 billion) to the prime directive and

(all or most of the $1.2 billion in grants or subsidies - EVIL! - companies like

SpaceX - we won't enjoy the dividends!; capitalism: worthwhile business ventures

will attract investors) to said directive. Speaking of damn subsidies...

B) To date A.T.K. has received over $1 billion to develop Ares 1 with

NASA which was to be operational by 2014 but pushed back to 2016 and

then 'canceled' by Obama but still getting funds wants to built a new

version and claims that it can be ready by 2015. They are requesting a

subsidy in lieu of a contract. We have been proposing for a long time

(See 'ACLs' and other articles) reasons to end all subsidies in order to

reduce the debt, it doesn't allow free-market forces to operate and unfair

to taxpayers. They have angered us! They might have gotten an

extended but modified contract. No A.T.K. subsidy!

Applause may resume.

We stated at the top of the year that our registration was Republican since

age 18 and that we would seriously consider departing GOP if it didn't

get serious about debt reduction and avoiding an impending

economic/financial crisis like this nation has never seen. We are

tentatively pleased. We are tough. We have not rendered a final decision

with respect to registration at this juncture.

BONUS or NEGATIVE BONUS: We have spent $17 trillion on the war

on poverty since the mid-60s and poverty-level has remained the same.

The liberal way like in education: Throw good money after bad! Reduce

funding big-time, reorganize programs to make more efficient, effective

and productive. Eliminate programs that are failing. End culture of dependency.

Obama has weakened the successful workfare program! New approach.

Details forthcoming. More bang for the buck!!!

SUPPLEMENT

Richard DePersio, Citizen Journalist

We regret to inform you that you now have to pay a toll at the Einstein/Rosen

Bridge en route to all of our comsats (websites and group sites).

Important info at conclusion.

Action Chain Letter 8:

Correction One: United States Gold Bullion Depository not 'National.'

Correction Two: Article Proper, Paragraph Two: ...enable employers to

pay more of the cost of healthcare and enable more small- and medium-sized

employers to insure their employees.

The Unites States Gold Bullion Depository at its peak housed over $900 billion

worth of gold bars; it presently holds over $206 billion. This is 2.39x our nearest

competitor: Germany. Numerous factors determine a nation's worth. The

wealthiest countries in order are: U.S., China, Japan, U.K., Germany. Last

year China replaced Japan for second place.

We have 2.5% of all the gold refined in world history. It is a real asset while

cash, stocks, etc. represent 'real' assets. It is disconcerting to realize that a

buck was backed by 40 cents worth of gold in 1913 and is only backed by

3/4 of a penny today! Technically, we stopped claiming that our money was

backed by gold in 1972. No problem: we were the United States. Today: problem;

we face the possibility of losing our Triple A bond Rating within 10 years and

suffering third-world status within 20 if we keep printing money and borrowing

money, especially, from China. Suffer big cuts now or bigger cuts later. Now, we

can still determine size of cuts (it better be big) and where to cut. Failure to

handle situation properly and within 10 years, China will dictate size and where.

You don't think so? The EU bailed out Spain and Ireland with loans, Germany

is the member with the largest amount of readily available assets, it dictated

terms of EU loans: where and how much and over what period of time these

countries have to make cuts, as well as, the terms for paying back the loans.

Our very sovereignty is at stake! How long do you think that China will just

except the interest and nothing toward the principal on U.S. Savings Bonds

as the value of the dollar continues it precipitous fall?

Proposal 45: (original) Increase the amount of gold - our principle real asset -

by between $15 and $25 billion over 30 years as one way to restore world-wide

faith/confidence (which has begun to waiver with talk of no longer basing the currencies

of the world on the U.S. $) in our economic/financial systems and our wealth.

We reiterate previous original proposals: we must cut spending in real terms by at least $300 billion and reduce growth by at least $200 billion (cuts and reductions) for fiscal 2012 ($5 trillion over 10 years); privatize Medicaid and Medicare (fraught with

$40 billion in waste and fraud annually - fed gov is incapable of cleaning bedpans only

filling them!).

We reinstate another original proposal: NASA which is the main scientific/technological

engine of our economy must be restored to the level that it enjoyed in the 1960s.

It is one of the few programs that deserves an increase in spending. NASA in our home,

car, office, farm, factory, hospital. It is the only gov entity that goes beyond its mandate

and benefits numerous fields ranging from astronomy to energy to engineering to

micro miniaturization to medicine to nanotechnology to materials science to zoology.

(For abundant justification: see "Action Chain Letters' and Addendums at /group/nasa-our-way,

/group/rickcosmos-eclectic, /group/newfederalism; "Action Chain Letters 4 to 8

are better written then 1, 2, 3).

Proposal 46: (original): While virtually all fed gov departments must be cut in real terms

or experience a reduction in their annual growth (far more of the former than the latter), NASA

must see its budget grow from the $17 billion to $31 billion over 7 years followed by a

decrease to $25 over 5 years with full annual inflationary increases. After 12 years, NASA's

budget should be frozen at $25 billion for 10 years with no annual increase for inflation. This

will enable NASA to improve existing technologies and create new technologies on the

scale that it did back in the 1960s. It will stimulate all industries. Less you forget: We went

into detail in "Action Chain Letters" about energy - experts claim that we can get 20%

of our electricity from solar energy collectors on earth by 2030 and no more. NASA, moon

and earth orbit - we can get an additional 10% or more relatively inexpensively. NASA

would pave the way as part of overall exploration of the moon with the establishment

of a moon base (revive moon base - Obama is trying to kill it). NASA would develop the

technology while the private sector would then assume all of the cost for this relatively

inexpensive solar-to-electricity (moon-to-earth orbit-to-ground collectors) program. We

also talked about NASA programs regarding nuclear fusion for rockets which might be

applied to nuclear power plants on earth (we presently have fission plants: fusion would

be even safer and would generate more electricity at a lower cost). NASA is at its best

when it develops technologies for space exploration which industries later find earth-bound

applications.

Proposal 47 (original): Expand the scope of SATS program to components 3 and 4 (See

"Action Chain Letter 8").

Funny math...Obama claims that he will cut Medicaid and Medicare (we will believe

it when we see it) and is claiming that in so doing, he will subtract the savings from

the cost of Obama-care and from the deficit. Did you get it: he will subtract the

same sum of money from two places. He learned science from Al Gore and math

from a first grader.

Drill, baby, drill...As we previously stated, Obama approved loans to Mexican and

Brazilian Oil for he wants Americans to get more oil from those countries. Real

Americans want to get oil from American companies. They want stockholders to

make more money - money that they will spend, invest and save - - good for the

economy, good for all Americans. They want American oil companies to create jobs

in the good ol' U.S. of A. They want the price of oil to come down. We get oil from

many countries that are only semi-allies of U.S. and some of those profits end up

in the hands of terrorists. A large component in the price of oil comes from

shipping it from far off places. Oil would be cheaper like it was prior to the 1970s

if would got more of it domestically as part of energy independence. We heretofore

stated that we wanted to faze out subsidies to oil companies.We hate subsidies!

We also want to reduce the number of regulations and the severity of some

regulations on oil companies. We can still have the highest environmental

standards for drilling but a little less so. Strike a reasonable balance between

environmental concerns (hyped by liberals and U.N.) and profits/prices/job creation.

The crude oil that we use has gotten dirty after 112 million years. It goes to a

refinery where contaminates are removed, mostly sulfur, which is used in

making fertilizers, rubber tires, fire extinguishers, explosives amongst other things.

It is then refined to produce, gas, propane, diesel, jet fuel, motor oil, plastics, etc.

Further work on crude produces substance that are used in aspirin and other

medications, televisions, asphalt, cosmetics, lubricants for our machines and

our skin, nylon, toothpaste, paint and more. The price of all of these products

would come down if we were to get more oil in and around U.S. Oil is good. All

should be for oil. Oil was good to the "Beverly Hillbillies."

Tough apples...We don't owe Ingins a damn thing! If you can't protect your

property you deserve to loose. Look at historical precedent: for thousands of

years when one group conquered another group the vanquished were stripped of

ALL of their property, most of their women were raped and 99% of the men

were enslaved. Comparatively speaking, Indians faired well. Today, this ethnic

group gets more health and social services then any other ethnic group. Those

tribes are suffering from poverty. While those tribes that receive significantly less

from gov are prospering (we not talking just talking about the ones with casinos).

They know the meaning of the old Protestant work ethic. It is gov hand-outs out

of an unnecessary sense of guilt that is hurting the 'reds.' Stop teaching lies

in public schools. It was noble of the white man around a hundred years to

send Indians to special schools to learn American and European culture,

including, Christianity. Those that chose not to return to reservation after

attending the special schools and older Indians who didn't attend the schools

and left suffered discrimination by the children and grandchildren did

significantly better then their counter-parts on the reservations. We fail to

learn from history. It reminds us of WW1 and, even more so, WW2, we win and then we rebuilt

the countries that we defeated and turned them into economic powerhouses.

Americans just don't know how to win!

(Merrily, Merrily)...Prior to 1850s, newspapers consisted of commentary. A town of

less than 40,000 might have dozens of them. They were owned by the political

parties and by movements (advocacy groups: pro-slavery, anti-slavery; pro-international

trade, anti-international trade; pro-prohibition, anti-prohibition; pro-national bank,

anti-national; etc). The telegraph connected the nation in the 1830s and the railroad in

the late 1860s; the telegraph connected parts of Europe and U.S. in the 1850s; the

telephone the nation and the world by 1900. This meant that beginning in the 1850s,

one by one newspapers added local or local and regional or local and national or

local, national, world news to their pages...(Just A.D.D.-ing along).

Our blueprint for saving our nation - plus cutting taxes and reducing regulations. If

history is any indicator: America can rise to the biggest of challenges.

TOGETHER, WE CAN DO OURSELVES A SECOND AMERICAN REVOLUTION!!!

ARTICLE PROPER (nota bene' - rocket fuel has not yet arrived):

(How's about some economics?...Sounds good to me...Me, too...Fine, let's go with

some economics).

A recent Congressional Budget Office report indicates that Obama-Care will cost

$1.4 trillion - 100 billion higher then their previous estimate. Most expects maintain

that this is a gross under-estimate. Some of our proposals are original; in the case of

negating Obama-care, we had a proposal in one of our "Action Chain Letters" endorsing

the idea of others in this regard. We have a crisis: Our debt will reach $16 trillion on

October 1! We can't offord a program that is borderline socialistic and plants the seeds

for socialized medicine. Socialist countries like U.K., Canada and France are moving

away from failed socialized medicine while Obama is moving us toward it. We want to

improve our healthcare - already the best in the world - with capitalistic solutions which

won't cost taxpayers one red penny! We're talking about: competition - allowing a

health insurance company to compete in more then one state - - that will bring down the

cost of premiums; allowing small- and medium-sized companies to form health

associations which would enable more companies to insure their employees and enable

employees to pay more of the cost of healthcare; tort reform.

The latest predictions from most pundits are: The Chinese economy will surpass ours in 2020; India will

top China in 2050. Can America remain number one? We'll address this important question

momentarily.

The two events that weakened the dollar: The creation of the Federal Reserve Bank in

1913 and Nixon taking us off of the international gold standard in 1972. In 1913, a dollar bill

was backed by $.40 worth of gold - today: less than a penny! Inflation has been more of a

problem since 1972, less of a problem between 1913 and 1972 and even less of a problem

most years prior to 1913. While the administration maintains that inflation is about 1%. Smoke and

mirrors: they aren't including the dramatic rise in the cost of food and energy in determining the

figure. Recently, we estimated that inflation was 20% (what cost 80 cents 10 years ago now cost $1).

We are proud to report that an economist on FoxNews (viewers: 40% conservative, 40% moderate,

20% liberal; America: 40% identify themselves as conservatives, 30% moderates, 20% liberals, 10%

don't know who they are and what day it is; Fox conservative-biased - no, CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN,

MSNBC, CNBC, PBS liberal-biased - yes) confirmed our figure of 20% (self-taught economist).

Modern people: There has been an increase in recent years in the percentage of Americans

who believe in reincarnation; it correlates, in our estimation, to an increase in the number

of stupid Americans. If you live in a society that is pretty good or if your life is pretty good, you

want to be reincarnated. On the other hand, if the converse is the case, you want out and tend to

hope for heaven.

All cells have hollow microtubes which contain quantum information which is

measurable. A few neurologists are thinking in these terms: Neurons - nerve cells - the ones in

the brain might contain mind in their microtubes. If you have a cardiac arrest, mind leaks out.

If you are revived, info returns.

Quantum Entanglement: Two protons form at the same time and separate; that can be a nano

separated or trillions of miles separated, one is spinning clockwise while the other is spinning

counter-clockwise, A changes spin and instantaneously B does likewise. Has Einstein speed limit -

the speed of light - been violated in the case of protons separated by trillions of miles; no, 'message'

from A to B instantaneous, it doesn't traverse the space between A and B. It would be like you

being in living room and then instantaneously in kitchen but you didn't walk from one room to

the other.

Are brain and mind the self-same thing or does mind compliment brain? Could mind leave but

still be in instantaneous communication with brain. How does this relate to out-of-body experiences?

What does this have to do with economics?

And what about this except in the broadest sense: A recent study indicates the women begin to

feel old at 29 while men do so at 56.

Where is the rocket fuel for the 'Fast Forward'?

Can America be saved?

PROPOSAL 41: We should consider returning America to an international gold standard. It would be

painful but it would prevent Federal Reserve Bank from creating 'funny money' and from borrowing

from foreign banks, especially, China (gov-owned banks), Japan and U.K.

Proposal 42: A visit to the "National Gold Bouillon Depository" inside of Fort Knox. Most people think

that we have gold at Fort Knox. The 'Depository' is where it is (?) located at the Fort put part of U.S.

Treasury Department. There was a scare in 1972; many people suspected that the 'Depository' was

empty and that the money had been transported to France. To allay fears, President Nixon dispatched

a few members of congress, a journalist, a cameraman and a chemist to inspect. It had never been

inspected by other then Treasury officials since it had been built in the 1940s. We are long over do for a

look-see. We might not like what we find! In a proposal in another "Action Chain Letter" we endorsed

the idea of auditing the Federal Reserve Bank. Again, we might not like what we found. It might

be detrimental to our nation's economic/financial health. We can't continue with our head in the

sand. Eventually, the bottom would fall out. The sooner we know the truth, the better.

The real U.S. Constitution: Federalist/Constructionalist/Judeo-Christian/Capitalist; the bogus

progressive/secular/'living' constitution.

The principle villains (in order of evilness): B. Obama, L. Johnson, F. Roosevelt, W. Wilson; the heroes

(in order): R. Reagan, C. Coolidge.

The result: We went from being a religious/capitalist nation in the 1800s to a secular/socialist-capitalist

hybrid. Had it not been for R & C, we would have become a socialist or a socialist-communist nation.

It might still come to pass if Obama-care and Finance Reform (together nearly 1500 new regulations; most gov regs are unnecessary and/or redundant and/or silly - and complying is very expensive! These two unconstitutional bills will give gov control of over 20% of economy coupled with over 10% that it already possesses spells socialism) aren't revoked.

America's biggest enemies: debt; regulations; taxes. They force American companies to out-source,

built factories and expand factories in foreign countries and hire a foreign labor force and reduce

expenditures for R & D. The corporate income tax of 35% is the second largest in the world and the

capital gains tax is 20% - both discourage investment, inhibit factory expansion, truncate R & D, lessen

profits to stockholders and prevent large-scale hiring.

A few months ago, we wrote about Oboma's 16th (in our judgement; we're keeping score) constitutional

crime: his 9-month moratorium on drilling in the Gulf of Mexico; a federal judge informed him that

his action was unconstitutional - he did what comes natural to him: he disregarded U.S. Constitution

and the judge. We continued: He had the Import/Export Bank grant loans to Mexican Oil and

Brazilian Oil - during the moratorium on U.S. companies - to drill in the Gulf and off of Brazil - - so

much for his environmental concerns - - - increased dependency by Americans on foreign sources

of energy is has priority. We were one of the first to report on this activity; now, months later, many

others are. (We hope to get a good grade by supplying "The facts - just the facts, ma'am"). Energy

bills are expected to quadruple over the next ten years due to his Al Gore/U.N./Cattle Fart/Hockey Stick

Graph/Lack of Peer Review/Global Warming-Pseudo-science Green Policies. Less we forget - and, we

nearly did - Obama's boss George Soros owns stocks and bonds in Brazilian Oil!

Now Obama is claiming that there are too many tests, especially, national and state standardized

tests in public elementary and high school which is making school boring (we never found the classroom

conducive to learning and when we were younger considered the classroom the most boring place in

the Milky Way Galaxy). What might be his real motivation to frown on testing? Could it be that it

exposes incompetent teachers (virtually impossible for principals to fire thanks to teacher's unions) and

failing schools (difficult to shut down after failing three years in a row and replaced with nothing or

a charter or a magnet as required by "No Child Left Behind" - courtesy, once again, of unions. We show

why all regular public schools should be converted to magnets and charters and why the problem with

regulars isn't a lack of funding in our soon to be world famous (?) "Action Chain Letters"). Obama is

a slave to unions (and GE {owner of NBC which was virtually an arm of the Obama campaign in 2008}

awarding it with gov contracts which had been earmarked for small businesses; GE was in a financial

free fall and he'll need their contributions for his reelection bid).

(DARPA {Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency} is part of the Department of Defense with some

of its projects secret. NASA was created in 1958; DARPA turned over its civilian research on space flight

to NASA in 1960. It doesn't pocess labs or research facilities but contracts with companies and

universities in order to work jointly on projects. Played a major role in creating GPS and Internet, mouse, stealth bomber

DARPA was created in 1957 in response to Sputnik: to prevent surprises like Sputnik from occurring

again and to guarantee U.S. military technological preeminence. Conventional military R & D projects focus

on short-term needs and requirements while DARPA goal is to transform military).

NASA and DARPA's "One Hundred Year Starship Project" started with a workshop and now is in

phase two: $1 million, 1-year study to create organizational structure with over two dozen futurists,

NASA specialists, sci-fi writers and educators (Obama did one thing right: he signed an executive

order in 2009 allowing greater cooperation between NASA and DoD). It will lead to phase three which

we last 100 years: developing and maturing technologies for interstellar travel.

NASA is planning a manned mission in 2025 to a near-earth asteroid (20X further than moon) the

size of a building in order to collect samples to return to earth in our continuing efforts to understand

the origin of the solar system.

Scientifically-illiterate Obama (his tutor was Al Gore) is still trying to cancel the "Constellation Project"

but stated that Orion could continue in limited form - as an emergency escape vehicle from the

ISS (International Space Station). Fortunately, NASA doesn't want to waste all the money spent on

Orion R & D for it is Obama who likes to waste taxpayer money. Recently, NASA and Lockheed Martin

unveiled the multi-purpose Orion prototype: Vehicle to carry astronauts to asteroid and, later, Mars (Obama

canceled moon; hopefully, it will someday be reinstated); vehicle to carry astronauts and cargo

to ISS if and when SpaceX's Falcon 9 can't fly (Falcon unmanned cargo-version is suppose to

begin operation in 2012 and manned-version in 2014; Orion will serve as back-up if developmental problems cause those dates to be pushed back and after it becomes operational there could be periods when it is

unable to fly); emergency vehicle. Orion maiden orbital test flight is slated for 2013; it should be

flight-capable for mission to asteroid in 2016. Why will we have to wait until 2025? Obama

canceled Ares 5 Heavy-Lifter.

PROPOSAL 43: Waste not want not. Use Ares 1 and 5 R & D in developing new Heavy-lifter. Ares

rockets would have been operational between 2014-16. We stated in one of our "Action Chain

Letters" that Obama was behaving in a foolish manner wasting our $$$s wanting to start a heavy-lifter project

from scratch. Capitalize on the R & D that taxpayers have already expended. The front runner

for a heavy-lifter: Orion- advanced-version Saturn third-stage-new and improved shuttle-type external fuel tank and

larger shuttle-type booster rockets (Our idea: Saturn S-N; NASA will be careful with a nuclear

stage and it wouldn't be fired on earth). Congress is allocating $1.2 billion for a heavy-lifter and

many in congress want to transfer most of over $1 billion Obama subsidy to SpaceX and

Virgin Galactic to heavy-lifter. We are opposed to virtually all subsidies to private/commercial

sector (see "Action Chain Letters" and Supplements). With over $2 billion, we could have

operational heavy-lifter in 2013 or 2014. We are still profoundly troubled by humiliation:

astronauts grounded save for dependency on Russia. We need to get back in the game...

Proposal 44: Look into feasibility of mating Orion with Atlas 5 or Titan-3. (Atlas 5

and Titan 3 were medium-heavy lifters; Atlas ending service this year while Titan in '96. Titan 4

was much more expensive. Atlas 1 short-lived ICBM was modified for our first manned space

program: Mercury; six one-man flights. The fifth in the Atlas series was an Atlas in name-only

having little in common with the engineering of predecessors. It launched the two known flights of

the semi-secret AF X-37B {possible shuttle replacement; see "Action Chain Letters" and Addendums}.

Time for anger: NASA has given a subsidy to United Launch Alliance to attempt to make it capable

of carrying astronauts and just cargo to ISS beginning in 2014. We say: Cancel the damn subsidy {we

won't share in dividends! Subsidy is a form of cooperate welfare unfair to taxpayers} and replace it

with a contract {thereby, making it more accountable to gov via NASA and would mean that it

would work more closely with NASA} and it might be human-rated by 2013 {reducing the length

of time in which we are dependent on Russian scheduling which could complicate our planning}

degreasing the length of our humiliation {our astro are grounded without those we beat - humiliated -

in Moon Race; one more thing: another form of subsidy - giving Atlas technology to Alliance!}).

Let's tell congress: we won't share in the dividends - take money from SpaceX and give to

NASA and look into Atlas and Titan (By the Bye, a member of the Atlas series launched

our Mercury astronauts and a Titan class member was used in Gemini Project). Give Alliance

contract or even better: rescind subsidies to SpaceX, Virgin Galactic, Alliance, add funds to NASA's heavy-lifter program of $1.2 billion. We are in favor of the commercial sector developing a space

capability but not at taxpayer expense other then NASA offering its expertise in an advisory

capacity and use of its facilities (the latter with a price tag attached). Why NASA is the only

component of fed gov that shouldn't be cut and why manned moon mission can help, in a

relatively inexpensive manner, solve our energy problem - did we wet your appetite? See "Action

Chain Letters" for answers (all modesty aside: they get better as you move from 1 to this one and

don't forget addendums).

Rocket fuel has arrived. We are complying with all regulations, including, making sure

that the WARNING: CAUTION on tank is large enough for a blind person to see.

It's been awhile...

FAST FORWARD FUTURE

We interrupt this article for a Special Bulletin: Fast Forward delayed due to icing. We

will 'Rewind Roswell' before we 'Fast Forward Future."

After extensive research over many years, we have concluded that there is no

evidence for life, including, intelligent life in the cosmos. Machio Kaku not withstanding.

We said it a couple of years ago and it is worth repeating: "Kaku made a solar system;

Soros now knows what it is like to play god."

We also pointed out: Kaku and other physicists sound like the scientific-version of

fundamentalist or evangelical ministers when they preach their ideas (or should we say:

pseudo-scientific!?!). They even use the word 'believe' often when taking about scientific

concepts. Science is predicated on fact; religion is based on faith. You believe in a

religious idea while you except or reject a scientific proposal. Let's be professionals.

Do you remember the following addendum to the "Scientific Method"?: 1) Speculation

backed-up or not by math; 2) Still speculation after backed by math. if observations and

experiments couldn't be designed to prove or disprove it; 3) Once tests could be conducted,

it could be proven or disproved; if proven dozens of time - publish results in science

journal; 4) dozens of scientists over decades would conduct the same experiments, as well

as, similar ones; 5) If it withstood the test of time,it would be elevated to the status of widely

excepted theory; 6) After a century or more of tests it might receive the gold medal: fact.

More likely scenario: stopped on the tracks between speculation and widely-accepted theory.

Kaku and company: Mathematically-proven speculation is fact; they have effectively

short-circuited the process. Example: Multi-universes; even though by definition, they can't

be observed. Also math-proven: an electron can be in our universe and another universe

simultaneously. Math-proven: more then four dimensions. With statistics: life elsewhere in

cosmos. You get the pathetic idea. Science was once rigorous: math, observations,

experiments - must be conclusive. "Save the Phenomenon" - even ancient Greeks

realized that you can be far or close to depicting nature. You can be 99% certain that

this is how nature is doing a particular thing - it works - but you can't be 100%

certain nature is doing it that way. For thousands of years, billions of people

have let go of things and they fall; next time, though the odds are astronomically

against it, you might let go and it rises. Kaku talks with mathematical-certainty. One

wonders if you can prove anything mathematically. Most physicists wouldn't

want to think about the possibility: Could they prove the existence of God!?!

Reality: Plato's Word (perfect forms, concepts exist with perfect math in heaven) or Math. World; Physical World: substance; Mental World (Brain or Brain/Mind or

Soul). One world isn't enough.

Trimurti or Great Trinity: One supreme god Brahman composed of three gods -

Brahma (creator), Vishnu (preserver) and Shiva (destroyer) not very important in three

of the four Hindu denominations (of course, Hindu believe in thousands of other

gods and goddesses) where it is rarely mentioned in Hindu writing. Saivism is

the exception. The supreme god is Shiva and there are the equivalent

of the three component gods; different names. An A.D.D. episode. What does it have to do with...

Roswell...Little gray aliens from space not from Mexico trying to get

freebies (at tax payer expense: healthcare, education, social services; committing

crimes, creating gangs, spreading disease).

Having studied science extensively for many years, we have not seen concrete

scientific evidence for flying sauces and space creatures. Read books and books and

books; seen documentaries and documentaries and documentaries; gov docs.

Our conclusions in synopsis form: 1) 25% - conclusions couldn't be

drawn due to insufficient data or unreliability of witnesses, hoaxes, possibly unknown

meteorological phenomenon; 2) 35% - mistaken identity: Venus, marsh gas, weather balloons,

earth-orbiting satellite, lighthouse, plane, blimp, spotlights,espionage balloons,ball lightning; 3) 40% - black projects and related to black projects...

When WW2 was coming to an end we got about 60% of Nazi scientists,

engineers and technicians (who wanted to defect), equipment, prototypes,

operational, test devices, stuff on the drawing board; Soviet Union got the

rest. Drawing board or being tested or operational: V1s (launched from

ramps - world's first cruise missiles - or dropped from planes), V2s (first

ballistic missiles), Jet (first), closed-circuit T.V. (first), remote-controlled

air-to-surface bomb (first), remote-controlled air-to-surface-missile with camera

mounted on it, rocket-plane (first, test phase), Vertical take-off and landing

plane (first, test phase), stealthy, delta wing-like fighter and bomber planes

(drawing board), saucer-shaped vehicle (drawing board), 'Bell' (drawing

board, new type propulsion - suction pulls up craft) and one wonders

if when we found out about these items many years after the war ended

if we were told about all the flying machines and weapons.

Roswell: crashed starship and aliens or crashed espionage balloon

and dummies. Eventually, these balloons would be phased out due to

spy planes and spy satellites. Something else that we didn't know at the

time: the military was dropping those who had supported the New Deal

(dummies) from various altitudes for testing purposes. Of course, it

wasn't planned that balloon would crash on the same day as a dummy

test. What is preferable from the military perspective: people reporting

and describing what they believe are flying saucers or reporting on

secret X-projects (black projects)?

We did know that shortly after the war ended that we fired captured

V2s, built and launched our own V2s and further developed them.

It is reasonable to contend that U,S. military further developed and

tested Nazi technology secretly from late '40s to mid-60s (people in

a town in Pennsylvania in '65 saw an object crash, military quickly arrived

and retrieved; now we know about Nazi 'Bell' rewinding to '65 the

description from townspeople resembles the 'Bell').

Isn't interesting that over 60% of U.F.O. sightings are near military

bases and airports.

We didn't know it at the time but there were even more reports

of U.F.O.s in South America, especially, Argentina between the late

'40s and the late '50s (and we had plenty). It lends credence to the

notion that many Nazi government officials, military offices and

a few scientists escaped punishment for their evil by going

primarily to Argentina. Apparently, they were assisted by the

Roman Catholic Church on the ground that they felt communism

was worse than Nazism and that these devils might be needed in

the future! Who the hell died and made Catholics the boss! Scanevidence Scanty evidence seems to show that they went there

to develop new weapons in the hope of creating a Fourth Reich.

Question: If U.F.O.s can be attributed to them, why isn't

Argentina a military power? Comment: Werner von Bruan and

the gang were Nazis, wanted Hitler to win but were more

interested in developing technology for aviation and space travel;

they were far from rabid Nazis. They renounced Nazism, got

secret security clearance, became outstanding Americans, held

top positions at NASA and top civilian positions at'Area 51,'

Wright Patterson and other military installations were secret

work was and still is carried out. There are no gray bogey men.

Right, Altair 5?

Now, we are prepared to 'Fast Forward Future.'

Most experts predict that more people will be flying rather than

driving by 2050 and that emergency vehicles will be at the

vanguard beginning in the early '40s. We think otherwise. NASA will

make the future arrive by 2035 not 2050. Why are we making this

prognostication? S.A.T.S.

We are talking about mountain-going-to-mohaommad-level change

(too bad landslide didn't go to the moon-worshiper - crescent and star).

In 2008, 650,000 American civilians had certificates/licenses ranging from student

to airline pilot. Number would have rocket to millions. What

magical and unique gov org could play the largest role in pulling

something so astronomically big off? You guessed it: our NASA!

Problem: Saturation of highways and skyway systems - gridlock and

hublock.

Solution: People getting high.

Phase One: state-of-the-art (price will become price of car as demand

increases) piston (a.k.a. propeller) planes and jets which are simply to fly;

Phase two: You can park in parking lot; wings vertical when parked,

horizontal for flying mode - vertical take-off and landing plane or jet, no need

for a runway;

Phase three: car/plane or jet hybrid;

Phase four: vehicle drives itself - you punch in destination or say it out

load (we're getting used to talking to machines...speak for yourself).

Think about it: bumper-to-bumper traffic - you're hollering and giving

the 'finger!' Imagine a four-lane highway, a one mile stretch of it, flat surface.

Imagine it 2 to 6 miles up in three dimensions. Bumper-to-bumper becomes

cars separated by a half a mile or more. Couple this with advanced avionics

in your craft and accidents become a thing of the past! (Commercial jets fly

7 to 10 miles up).

People forget that the 'A' in NASA stands for aeronautics. NASA has been

and is active in aeronautical R & D. One of its projects: S.A.T.S. (Small Aircraft

Transportation system) which is presently concerned with Phases 1 & 2.

Congress funded NASA seed money of $9 million in 2001 and allocated

$69 million during 2002-2007 for proof of concept and viability. It was a

resounding success. Nobody does it better.

Funding has continued for the directive given NASA:

A: Help nation new challenges in creating transportation system

which will help drive economic growth and wealth;

B: Increase high volume at airports without control towers and

terminal radar facilities;

C: Devise technologies enabling safe landings at more airports in

almost all weather conditions;

E: Integrate S.A.T.S. aircraft into a high capacity air traffic control

system;

F: Improve single pilot ability to function in national airspace.

S.A.T.S. led by NASA is also comprised of F.A.A., state and local officials,

colleges and universities and U.S. aviation industry.

(National Science Foundation doesn't have its own labs while NASA,

DARPA, National Institutes of Health, etc. do. They - other then NSF - conduct

their own research and issue grants to colleges and universities for independent

{with accountability} and collaborative efforts.

We say gov should reduce amount of money spent on grants in light of debt problem

and encourage private companies to do more with colleges. NSF's original

mandate was for pure science - the acquisition of scientific knowledge for its

on sake, it often finds practical application later. It should return to that policy.

Let private industry do more in applied sciences for they will benefit. Subsidies to companies life

SpaceX are unacceptable. We hope NASA isn't giving SATS $$$ to aviation

companies who will profit from the manufacture of the finished products of

the program).

There are 30 major airports and 3,400 small underutilized smaller airports.

We can reduce safety and congestion problems - highways (traffic jams) and airways (flight

delays, cancellations); crashes.

While scope might be expanded in the future, NASA in SATS is focusing on

4-10 occupants, secondarily - 10-14.

The railroad takes you to city you want or nearest city that you want; you then need

a car or a taxi to get to destination. Did you know that 98% of population lives

within 30 minutes of a small airport vs. an average of 4 hours to a major airport?

Most smaller airports don't have - so put in plane: Communication, telemetry,

radar, GPS, 3-D display, etc. Most private pilots licenses are for seat-of-the-pants:

visual landmarks - problem when inclement weather appears. Encourage more

to be instrument savvy - higher-level license by making system much easier.

Further, SATS is creating an approach to design, manufacture of safer more

affordable small aircraft with computer gauges replacing dial gauges which

reduce pilot workload; a standard that allows cost-effective replacement of

avionics equipment; ballistic parachutes like those employed in Apollo Project for accidents

caused by human error, mechanical failure, icing or airframe structural failure -

slows craft to a level descent; and more.

Transportation on demand: point-to-point and scheduled. Save time and money.

Drive to small airport - fly or be flown to the exact town or city that you want to visit.

Eventually, you will be able to land in parking lot near building. Personal trips too.

Save time and money on out-patient visits and the delivery of small parcels.

Everybody will be doing it, doing it, flying their own planes, in our airplanes. No

longer earthbound. Traffic jams a distant memory. The workload on major

airports lightened. Leave it to NASA to get us there sooner.

Jeff Rosen, the New Republic, states: "You post a picture, blog post,

chat...every snippet of us stays on net...forgiveness...reinventing

oneself...new beginnings...tethered to past...posts can come back to

haunt us...web means never forgetting."

Timid not. We never retract nor apologize. Respectful to deserving only. Free

speech. We don't mince words. Shoot-from-the-hip. Proud not to be liberal

P.C.

It was in that wonderful year 1880 that we remember so well that astronomers

first attached cameras to their telescopes and newspapers first published photos.

The first newspaper in the 'colonies' published in 1681. We were their in a

previous incarnation.

Does this represent our last original article? Shall we fade to black...

"Between the idea

And the reality

Between the motion

And the act

Falls the Shadow"

-George Eliot

Editor's Note: It sounds like Plato's "Man in the Cave."

This writer hates to bring emotions to the table when discussing science. One

doesn't want to be placed in same category as green hockey puck scientists! It bothers yours truly that we might live in a reality that is a distortion of reality and that true reality might lie at the level of atoms. protons, quarks, mesons, bosons, strings, etc. And, we will realize ultimate reality,when and if, relativistic physics and quantum physics are combined. There can even be things right in front of you that you can't see because they exist in different dimensions.

Einstein contributed to the development of quantum physics but at a major conference of the world's leading physicists in 1937 denounced it and made clear that he didn't wish to be associated with it and spent the rest of his life trying to create a unified field theory and in the process disprove quantum. It was at that conference that the Great One stated emphatically: "God doesn't play dice with the universe!" He couldn't except one principle and new concept in quantum: uncertainty. (Notice that this conveyor of information wrote "except." In science, you except or reject a scientific speculation or model or theory. In contrast, in religion you believe in a doctrine or dogma or biblical claim or church law or not. Science is based on fact and religion is based on faith. Both are important and necessary and look at certain things from a different perspectives. Sadly. over the past 25 years, especially, the last five, more and more.astronomers - notably, cosmologists- and physicists and evolutionary biologists

and geneticists, psychiatrists, neurologists and philosophers seem to have transformed science and atheism into religion. Back in 1970, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that an atheist could claim to be a conscientious objector - isn't that ridiculous - because atheism was similar to a religion! More and more of these so-called scientists speak and write using the word 'believe' instead of 'except' and it's not a simple matter of semantics. They speak and write with the zeal and fervor of a fundamentalist or evangelical minister when addressing issues like micro-evolution, materialist philosophy, genetic certainty, quantum uncertainty, quarks, strings, chaos, inflationary bang, multi-universes, etc. The popular Kaku is leading the pack!).

Some say that Einstein had one foot in modern physics and the other in

classical physics. Like Einstein, this reporter can EXCEPT relativistic physics as bizarre as it is but has trouble EXCEPTING bizarre quantum. Einstein didn't think that he had replaced Newton's commonsensical, mechanical view of reality while others thought that he had and it troubled him because her admired Newton. He thought that Newton was just fine 99% of the time and perfectly acceptable and should be used by physicists and engineers (applied physicists) because it was easier to work with and visualize. Einstein thought that Einstein was only needed when dealing with extremely

high velocities and masses. Newton got us to the moon and back!

This relates to the writers concerns with mind/brain are they the same thing

or do they complete or compliment each other. Different sides of the same coin.

Relativity speaks of mass and energy as different forms of same thing and quantum

wave and particle - sometimes something with or without mass behaves like a

particle and sometimes a wave (this reporter is willing to go that far as far as

quantum).

Let's see if we can or can't understand this together. You ask a scientist

(this essayist -appropriate term for now you can't accuse him of being unscientific - -

you can't say that what is being expressed here in anyway resembles U.N.

scientists and liberal pasticcio nuts (perhaps, many, if not most, senior officials in Obama Administration should be considered secular socialists or communists. Where's Senator Joseph McCarthy when you need him (don't fall prey to liberal revisionist history regarding him: do what this reporter does and exam material from and since then written by liberals (most historians and writers are of that ilk), moderates and conservativesand then formulate an opinion supported by genuine evidence - don't limit yourself to the mainstream media like the N.Y. Times for then you must be labeled an indoctrinated not an educated adult like our children in public schools) Where were we?...we were asking a scientist a question...what question?...this question: what if (see "Plato's Cave" and "What's Between My Ears' plus addendum and "Perceptions." it's all coming together now - we are looking forward to the doc's (Dr. Walter Jacobson) next contribution to the BIG questions) someone is born with a weak or a strong homo or criminal gene, will the strong lead to an adult

homo and a weak a non-criminal? A minority would respond: it depends on nurture

and environment. So what not leave genes out of it altogether. Twins separated at birth

have a 50/50 chance of growing-up to have similar personalities, moral codes,

behavioral characteristics, such as, habits and tastes - not very compelling. Forget

about genes except for physical traits like hair texture, eye color and medical problems

of a congenital or hereditary nature and, perhaps, level of intelligence (but not

potential education level) and psychosis but not neurosis.

What about this: you are a product of everything you learned in the order

that you learned it; everything that you experienced in the order that you experienced

it; everyone that you met in the order that you met them, especially, in most cases,

parents. Far more complex and difficult to analyze then pre-programmed/instinctive

genes.

The problem with hormones - you shouldn't have that problems while looking at

this. In utero, if there a strong dose of testosterone after a few weeks male genitalia will

form, if not about a week or so later, female. After about four months of gestation, there

is another doze which is much stronger for the male then the female. Although, a

minority of women get a doze nearly as strong as a male. Does this explain why

males are right-hemisphered and females left?. And, further, why there are women

who excel at right-hemisphered functions?For example, geometry and physics are

right-hemisphered functions and, therefore, on average males are better at those

subjects then females (a few years ago, the head of a university made that statement

and the sissy apologized - it was a liberal college, it might have been Harvard - for

liberals reserve freedom of speech to just certain groups and individuals - - just look

at the American Civil Liberties Union - - - as for this guy, he apologizes to no one!). Does it explain why more men excel at sports but some women do - some get a larger

then normal dose in utero. Reading and writing left but most writers, including, great

writers are men. Feminists will say that the gentler sex was dissuaded in the past.

Women are better debaters - just try to win an argument with a women! I hear you:

half are yelling "sexist" and the other half is a cacophony - I think you are chanting

"gene, blueprint, DNA, RNA, proteins, hormones."

This raises two issues: is a trait like being good at sports or oration the

same as personality or behavioral characteristics or moral code or are traits related or

do they have an influence on the three. Certainly the male brain in bathe in more

testosterone amidst an intense situation and is more likely to opt for a verbal or

a physical altercation - definite hormone effect on behavior; could it be that we

aren't slaves of our biology: more animals are instinctive or instinctive and trial and

error or those two plus a primitive level of thinking out a problem or making a

choice until you get to apes (yes, you!; all apes are members of same family, humans and chimps may be members of same genus), whales, dolphins, seals and porpoise(same family) with higher level of thinking. Let's make assumption men and women are significantly different (feminists want to gloss over it: biochemical - two Xs vs. one X and one Y;physical - male

sex organs as opposed to female ones, further, the average male being much taller

and stronger then the average female; men - right/women - left

I'm back. I had to visit the pope. He was of no use in this context.We are

tentatively going to harbor the view that these are the major - we do mean major -

differences between the genders. But, we are not slaves of our biology: it may take

longer and it may be harder but a women can excel on the right and the converse is

equally true. Hormones cause the aggression of real men due to the rush of 'T' and

should be characterized as a behavior and an exception to the following rule. The meaning of the facial expressions of infants are the same world-wide and are instinctive or genetic in nature. We are going to maintain at this junction, at least, that the other traits of left/right neocortex or cerebral cortex are traits or influences on personality, behavioral characteristics and moral code with virtually no linkage to genes. Tabular Rasa: We are a complex mixture of all that we learned, experienced and knew with genes responsible for instinctive behavior and our ability to engage in trial and error and are ability to work out problems in our heads and through RNA followed by proteins followed by hormones determine our gender and the hemisphere in which we live but as we go from infant to baby to toddler to teen-ager to young adult to adult we become less and less instinctive (referring to central not automatic nervous system) less and less reliant on trial and error and more and more the product of learning, experiences and other selfs in which instinct and trial and error played a role. Genes gave us instinctive behavior not part of central nervous system and the ability to engage in learning through trial and error and the ability to work things out in our heads and the left/right influences which we can suppress. Abilities and influences.

What about homosexuality? It is immoral according to all three major

western religions.If homos are a born that way - we already made it abundantly

clear that we don't subscribe to weak and strong genes such as homo or criminal or

nasty or greedy, or grumpy or any of the seven dwarfs (excuse me,, little people or

Where is the answer hiding? Behavioral science, especially, social-communication studies and duality? Let's not forget quantum!

Subject: PLATO'S MAN IN A CAVE - NEW VERSION

by Richard DePersio

All websites listed at: groups.google.com/group/rickcosmos-eclectic

Editor's note: Nowadays, it's rare for Rickcosmos to write on science or is this philosophy and is that what some scientists(like Kaku) are engaging in but not admitting it. Some relate religion to mythology while others to philosophy.

Companion piece:View scientific/philosophical slide show at: youtube: rickaddside - Plato-new version). The ancients studied ethical philosophy and natural philosophy. The latter term was used until 1700. There was a transitional period in which the term was used less and less as it was replaced by the term science by 1800. Natural philosophy in the ancient period relied heavily on thought and mathematics and little on observation and experiment because it was considered manual in nature and manual work was done by slaves and artisans not the full-of-themselves philosophers.On the rare occasions that they so engaged they considered it debasing Observation was somewhat more acceptable then physical measurements of things and experimentation. During the Dark Ages and the Middle Ages (from about 500 A.D. to 1400 A.D. in Western Europe all the answers on everything , including, science were to be find in the Bible.Now, even observation which was half-debasing was forbidden. In the 1200's, the Catholic Church allowed the works of Aristotle and Ptolemy to be taught - they came to western and southern Europe from the Muslims. Science was dead in the former Western Roman Empire but some progress was being made in the Eastern Roman Empire and the Arab/Muslim Empire. The works of Aristotle and Ptolemy made it to Western Europe in the 1200's. Attitudes in Western Europe changed during the Renaissance, The Age of Reason and the Enlightenment from 1400 to 1800 regarding the views of the ancients on ethics. In the 1500s and1600s as regards natural philosophy in general and experimentation in particular. Theory by pure thought with the aid of mathematics plus experimentation is the order of the day as one moves from speculation to model to theory to widely excepted theory to fact. Observation and experimentation stopping an idea as it tries to move down this road.

Plato's ideas on reality were debated by the ancients and again after the Middle Ages, especially, during the Enlightenment (1700 to 1800), The Industrial Revolution (1775 to 1900) and to this day. There are Eastern Religions/Philosophies that ponder question like: If, I'm inside and I can't see the moon, does the moon exist? and Did God create man or did Man create God? Even in the Western World (Western Europe and the U.S.) most scientists and philosophers argue in favor of the material - everything, including, a thought is physical involving neurons and synapses in the brain and the mind and brain are one and the same. A few think in terms of soul

or the brain is on one side of the coin and the mind the other and are intimately connected but not the same for that would preclude free will.

Plato imagined a man in a cave unaware of the man on his right and the man on his left for he was transfixed on the shadows on the wall. He perceived the images as reality. Unbeknownst to him there were people and animals behind him and that some of the people had wagons and some were carrying all kinds of objects. Beyond them was a fire creating the shadows (imperfect perception of reality). One day, he is removed from the cave and sees reality. He rushes back to tell the others who fail to believe him. The man in the cave once again becomes the man in the cave. Plato perceived reality to be on a higher plane and available to a select few, such as, himself by God but not the God of Christians, Jews and Muslims Some philosophers believed in one god, some many and some none (not wise to say to most people). Emperors and Kings may or may not but it was practical to say that they were intimately connected to the gods to control the ignorant masses.

Classical physics (which was the new natural philosophy created primarily by Copernicus, Brahe, Kepler, Galileo and culminating with Newton - but that is debatable as we shall soon see) for it was not yet a branch of science; natural philosophy was all inclusive). Newton thought of God as a Machinist and mathematician who created the universe (the machine) and the mathematical laws that operated it and that there was nothing wrong with understanding the mind of God. His universe was reality and is our reality. We live in the common sense world of Newton. Is it possible that you are a man in a cave who perceives imperfect reality - a shadowy world! Where is true reality to be found?

The strange case of Newton for while he was a Christian and no doubt believed he understood the reality of the universe in which we lived, he always believed that he was one of the few chosen to truly comprehend the Bible. Many historians contend that his study of the Bible was more important to him then natural philosophy - his areas being but not yet called math,. astronomy and physics. He studied the occult even though he was a devout Christian and conducted experiments in alchemy. There was a part of reality that he couldn't explain: what was the nature of gravity and how could it act and influence across empty space. Sound through air, waves through water.

energy moving from one end of the slinky to the other (no, he didn't invent the slinky but did invent calculus and reflecting telescopes). He grew tired and annoyed at the questions hypotheses non fingo (Latin for: I feign no hypotheses) he eventually responded: "It is enough that gravity exists according to the laws I explained. I feign no hypotheses. It abundantly serves to account for all the motions of celestial bodies." He made it clear that he would not speculate or guess if the answer was physical

or metaphysical or occult or mechanical but was inappropriate for experimental science which is concerned with how not why.

There is classical or mechanical physics and quantum physics or mechanics. Some refer to the first and most important phase as Newtonian mechanics. Some consider relativistic physics or Einsteinian mechanics to be classical mechanics at it's most accurate and developed. Some both. Others consider Einstein to be a bridge between classical and quantum and still others think of it in terms of being part

of modern physics like quantum.

Most of the time,physicists and engineers use mechanical physics which is more commonsensical and easier with which to work and used it to get human to a celestial body and back. They employ relativistic physics (this science writer is in category three: classical mechanics and modern mechanics: Einsteinium and quantum).

Do we live in reality or do we harbor a corrupt and imperfect, shadowy and commonsensical view of reality. Is true reality in the realm of the quantum world of atoms, protons, neutrons, electrons, quarks, neutrinos , mesons, strings, etc. and where mass less light from gamma rays to visible to radio and objects with mass, such as, protons both behave like particles sometimes and waves other times and can be at more then one place at a time?

And, the non-commonsensical world of Einstein wherein gravity is really the curvature of the space/time foam and the faster you go the heavier you get and the faster you go the slower clocks tick and there are mysterious black holes.

Will we arrive at ultimate reality when and if we combine quantum and relativity: quantum relativity. And, dealing with Einstein's 'gravity' (curvature) with can't be describe like the other three fundamental forces of nature: strong nuclear, weak nuclear and electromagnetic (which includes light). We are on a quest for a theory of everything: quantum relativity and proving that all forces were one force until a split second after the Big Bang; we can show that three were. Once again, Einstein won't cooperate! Or, we all men in a cave with true reality outside of the cave. Why is the reality of the 'outsider' any better then that of the 'insider' (homebound) and does the moon exists even though the composer of this article hasn't seen it in years!

promises to fit in neatly into our exploration of the Big questions that have beset

human's since and before Plato. We are grateful for the doc's comments.

Doctor Jacobson:

this "common sense" world you speak of that we inhabit is NOT real. it is an illusion, we are not bodies, we are mind/consciousness. we have identified with an idea, that idea being ego, and the ego believes in time and space and bodies and disease and death. we invented this world and then forgot that we made it up, and now we can't wake ourselves up out of it....

WMAP - EXPLANATION

2010-03-02T16:35:00.001-05:00

This is the first visible light in the universe about 400,000 years after the Big Bang.

When viewed in color a color code tells you which areas are warming and cooler.

Actually, the 3 degree Kelvin radiation is in the microwave or the very near radio

part of the electromagnet spectrum close to the infrared which is close to visible light.

The visible light has lost energy and has cooled since it was created 13,000,300,000

years ago. (The universe is 13.7 billion years old). A computer creates the colors so

that we can more easily study it with our human eyes which can't see in the infrared.

Subject: Perceptions: Whose Reality is Reality?

        Dear Fans,
       I intend to make a big and bold contention at the end of what represents one of my last e-mail/articles. Forgive me that was shocking and callus on my part. I should have warned you to get a bottle of booze (I couldn't join you having removed alcoholism gold turkey along with smoking as two of my personality traits) or a bottle of valium
before I hit you with that monumental news. Grow-up. Get a hold of yourself. Life won't end - just life as you once new it. A message to virtually everyone else: I hope that you enjoy the party that you are going to throw in order to celebrate. Caution: don't celebrate too much for I will continue to send my friends typical-amphetamine-
free-prosaic e-mails of the kind that you have come to love. All kidding aside: I enjoy there social nature.
      Bring it on...There are a few democrats in and outside of Congress who want to establish a truth squad to investigate Bush and his administration. You know the one: he cut taxes big time ala Presidents Kennedy and Reagan (the tax cuts had nothing to do with the present economic/financial crisis - - - that was courtesy of Clinton and Frank regarding loans which triggered a much wider mess); protected us from another terrorist attack;won the Iraqi was - - - establishing the first Arab democracy in the middle east; protected traditional marriage; crippled the Bin Laden gang; got Libya to give up its WMDs; did more to help stop the spread of disease in Africa then the
so called black president - Clinton; prevented American health professionals using federal funds from committing murder (abortion) when doing humanitarian work in foreign countries - Oboma is allowing it; strictly limited embryonic stem cell research - I'd oppose it even if it meant that I could walk again, adult stem and am biotic
flued research is more more promising  - nonetheless, Oboma isn't going my way.
      As a republican I want a truth squad established to investigate the Clinton/ China connection. It was only superficially examined. Follow the money. Missile technology for China. Al Gore not knowing why he was
collecting envelopes in a Buddhist Temple in California!
      Truth? What the hell do liberals know about truth when their media and public school are so one-sided. They wouldn't know truth if it went up Barney Frank's ass! Physicist Haldane once said in another context, "The universe is queerer then we imagine; the universe is queerer then we can imagine." (Perhaps, I should join P.C.-an-
onomous?!) Do you favor truth commissions? Commander-in Chief ,,,The president takes an oath to protect Americans from enemies foreign and domestic in
time of war. Lincoln suspended hubious corpus during the civil war. Roosevelt (a darling to liberals) kept enemy P.O.W.s until the end of World War Two without specific charges against them and interred hundreds of thousands
of Jap-Americans. War Crimes: only to liberals who want to grant terrorists and enemy combatants all the legal and civil rights of American citizens. I got a great idea: let's exhume Roosevelt's decaying body and prop him up on a witness chair and lodge charges against him like a 13th century pope did against his predecessor!
      Where has my America gone? It's gone away. Times are a-changing. And all the time the president knew it and all the time Pelusi knew it...I never thought that the day would come when 40% of my bank Citibank (Citicorp) would be owned by my uncle Sam.
      The House that are founding daddies built... The liberal government has one wreaking ball and the liberal unions the other. The old Protestant work ethic is in the gutter. Do you think that spending millions on
studying pig farts is going to create jobs and stimulate the economy/ Do you think modeling our economy on a zero-growth economy like France will encourage people to work hard in a society that wages class warfare? Correct me.
Tell me what's good about the so-called stimulus plan.Tell me what's good about socialized medicine.   Tell me what's good about increases taxes on those who create jobs: the rich and the corporations. Tell me why you should struggle to pay your mortgage and the mortgage of someone who got in over their head because of
Clinton and Frank? What would you do if you were president.
      Speaking of Paul...More and more it seems to me that today's Christian churches are based more on Paul, Luke and Emperor Constantine then on Jesus and the 12 apostles. Paul never met Jesus but claimed to have a vision of Him rising. It didn't sit well with some of the Apostles that he considered himself the 13th apostles.His
Christian church triumphed over the Apostles' People of the way. About three hundred years after Jesus was crucified Constantine declared Christianity to be the official religion of the Roman Empire    and authorized the creation of the New Testament.
75% of it is written by Luke; 50% is written by Paul or is about Paul and Luke's Paul.
       After Al Gore created the Internet...On the first day, he created the Internet and saw that it was good; on the second day, he created global warming and saw that it was good; on the third day, he went to a Buddhist temple and saw the alms were good.
       On being macho and being afraid: it's not nice to mess with mother nature or God...virtual reality, holograms, sex-change operations, human cloning, babies having babies; single mothers, genetic engineering, cyborgs, androids, evolutionary biology and psychology, quantum physics and nanotechnology scare me to death.
        I warned you at the beginning that I was saving something big, bold and shocking for the end (stop doing cartwheels and shouting 'hallelujah.'). I hereby contend that I know more about what's going on outside then most people who go outside. Sometimes it's better to step inside to get a better view of outside. Is it better
to be at a ball game or watch it on T.V. (where you get instant replays from various angles and tons of statistics). The average person is woefully uninformed and parochial in their perspective (I need to reread, "How to Make Friends and Influence people" its been years).I studied the history of entertainment in America from the late 1700s to to the present, therefore, I am in a better position to judge the quality of writing, directing,
acting, composing and singing. I know more about what's going on in public schools them most parents know. I know of the past 7 major studies on global warming that 5 indicate that little or know global warming is taken place. I know that I know more about science then Al. Liberals politicians lie and the lie is transmitted via the liberal media and schools. I studied things that I don't like - like art, I occasionally watch
channels that I don't like - like G4 and Current (on the fourth day Al created this cable network) to keeptabs on some 18 to 35 year olds. Religious channels with youths active in their faith. I know that younger people aren't an homogenous group the way the media generally portraits them. I know the difference between the GDP and the GNP. I know about different cultures and the problems faced by many
of our senior. I am cognizant of the fact that the lousy, little, lying liberals (how do you like this alliteration?) destroyed traditional morality and the fucks should burn in hell (I already signed up for PC training!).
    On facing your fears... I am aware of the fact that the answers aren't necessarily in ancient writings. The answers to our most profound questions lie were we fear to thread in the Twilight Zone. The answers to our deepest questions, our salvation and our eternity lie in our mind (where are feelings and personalities lie (figuratively speak-
ing in our hearts), dualism, relativistic physics, quantum mechanics, our genetic code, astronomical evolution, geological evolution, biological evolution, string theory, m-theory, computer technology, neurons/computer chips interface, nanotechnology, pantheism, deism, nature and GOD!
      Outsiders vs. Insiders...Harriman said of Krazy Kat: "May in some soon time...let in the light which is
now to our meager vision denied...for you will understand him no better then we who linger on this side of the
pale."
      See you in the funnies...

Subject: WHAT'S BETWEEN MY EARS?

      Dear Other Selfs,
      Don't worry about paying your rent: the liberal/secular media's messiah has arrived. Actually. I wish him the best - he is my president and Bush left him a financial mess. The liberal biased media doesn't want you to know that Billy-boy Clinton made it possible for individuals with little or no credit to get mortgages through Fanny and Freddy! President Bush thought that it was good idea to allow low income people to have the opportunity to own a house until 2005 when he realized that the policy Clinton implemented '98 had gone too far. He tried through executive decisions in 2005 to rectify the situation to no avail. He directed republican leaders to raise the issue with the chairman of the Senate Banking and Finance Committee, Barney 'is my skirt to short' Frank. He was told that there was  a housing problem that could turn into a crisis. He refused to take any action and claimed that the republicans were making things up He was on watch and there
were no problems. And then came the domino effect: the mortgage domino fell leading to the fall of investment and commercial bank and wall street dominos. By the way, he. Oboma and other democrats were receiving campaign contributions - some for many years - from Fanny mae and Freddy Mac - - - both of which are semi-independent federal agencies. Possible crime here. Do you think the democrats will investigate their own. They and their liberals cohorts in the mainstream media will continue to blame Bush. You should spend some time thinking about the big, profound, cosmic questions before they place you six feet under. As for the democrats in congress - they were born with strong liberal genes...

     The mind-body problem: Sociobiology; Tabula Rasa and Saving Self.
     At least they don't tell me when to speak or go skydiving: Or, do they?!
     Physicalists are philosophers who like most computer scientists, evolutionary psychologists and neuro-scientists harbor the view that the mind is physical and that mental states are neurological states or properties. And most of them subscribe to the sociobiological perspective regarding mind: intelligence; consciousness; thought; perception; memory; emotion; will; imagination; unconsciousness; personality; behavior.There's more in your genes then you think! Neurons are the brains nerve cells and cells contain genes. You can be born with a strong homosexual gene and therefore are likely to grow-up to be Barneyy Franks. They can't help being what they are anymore then you can, as a result, their life style should be excepted as normal
and condoned by society and recognized by government. (They aren't immoral -Bible; they aren't abnormal - traditional biology). You can be born with a strong criminal gene. Consequently,criminals shouldn't be severely punished they just couldn't help but shoot that guy. As Ann Courtler points out in her book, The church of liberalism:
" Why is it that liberals say that child molesters shouldn't be imprisoned but   should receive psychotherapy instead. Weren't they born with a strong child molester gene? They can be helped but homosexuals can't. (I paraphrased somewhat). You can even be born with a strong nasty gene or a strong greedy gene - you got the idea. You programmed like a computer!
    Some say that it's part nature(genes) and part nurture (environment). I don't find this argument palatable. X was born with a strong nasty gene and Y a weak nasty gene. What determines whether or not he will grow up to be nasty? They should just drop nature from the equation.
    Their strongest argument: twins separated at birth have a 50% chance to grow up to have a similar personality and background. I don' find their argument compelling.
    Bible: man has free will; traditional biology: human's have the most advanced brains and therefor aren'tslaves of their biology.
    Tabula Rasa. Ibn Sina, Persian philosopher in the 11th century, "human intellect at birth is rather like a tabula rasa (blank slate), a pure potentiality that is actualized through education and that knowledge is attained through empirical familiarity with objects in this world from which gains abstract, universal conceptswhich is developed through reason ; observations lead to propositional statements which when compounded lead to further abstract concepts." The theory - originally proposed by Aristotle - has gone virtually unchanged.
    Clearly, psychosis are the result of genes or structural brain structure damage. The meaning of facial expressions made by infants are universal.
    Saving Self: at this juncture, we can all agree that genes determine hair texture, eye color,
congenital and hereditary disease, etc. There can be environmental constraints on realization. Genes might indicate that an individual will be tall and muscular due to lack of food or sanitary conditions or other factors in which the individual inhabits this might not come to pass. Biological characteristics,
    Supporters of dualism maintain that mental phenomena are in some respects non-physical. They hold the view that phenomena may be perceived through a person's senses or with the mind and the mind doesn't exist in non-living things. Mind is subjective and isn't spatial (height, length, width) like brain or brick. Some dualist go so far as to suggest that mind and brain are properties of an unknown substance.
    Let's put all are cards on the table...The average man is much taller and stronger then the average woman; male and female chromosomal differences; women tend to be left-hemisphered (cerebral cortex) while Rick prefers the right (in more ways then one).
    Let's make some assumptions: intellect and reason (the higher functions partially genetic-jury still out). John Pokinhorn, physicist and priest (how's that for a combo!) states, "reductionist - replicating, information processing, and existing is all that they think that we do!"
    We take in data through our senses and neurons light up as a result of the input while other neurons light up to generate a response. Memories are held in neurons and neural connections. Our mind can light up neurons in dreaming, day-dreaming and when engaging jn abstract thought without sensory input. matter and energy are two forms of the same thing as are particles and waves.
    You see the sky and the pond floor when you look into a pond. Some photons of light bounce off of the water a strike your eyes while others bounce off of the pond floor. Quantum physics isn't deterministic. It can only talk in terms of probabilities. The probability of weather a particular photon will bounce off the water or floor. Is the photon thinking? no, energy can't think.
    What is mind? A phenomenon that accompanies another phenomenon is usually parallel to it and is related in some way to it - precise electric correlates of conscious things in the human brain. Option one: mind and brain are different forms of the same thing; option two: mind fills out, completes, compliments brain; mind is made up of a mysterious unknown substance.
    I'm going with option one and two: the abstract, imaginations, dreams, will and emotions, complete brain. It isn't genetic. Husband and wife complete each other; wave and particle complete each other; matter and energy complete each other or are different forms of same thing.. There different manifestations of the same thing and interact with each other.
     I was born with a strong conservative gene. Issue two: the science-politics problem. Was this a political or science article? With a nod toward Mozart, Einstein and Edison...
                                                                                                     My A.D.D. Self,
                                                                                                     Rick

New and Improved (so says Topper): An ADDed Article

2010-02-01T21:42:00.000-05:00

Editor's Note: This article is being expanded via the addition of an editor's note a brought back by

popular demand (someone liked it!).

Three years ago, my doctor told me to purchase "Driven to Distraction" by Edward Hallowell, M.D.

My doctor saw notes including my corrections of the author (my primary physician (my only physician for the past five years - I hadn't been seen by a doctor in over ten years prior to encountering this doctor who was willing to make house calls because I'm Rick - had just diagnosed my ADD), he thought

it strange the I would correct a doctor/author. I don't get it. It had to do with the doctor of oddities (I didn't say 'freaks' I'm learning to be PC; I got a D-plus on last test) and looney tunes (a.k.a. psychiatrists) placing emphasis on genetic on behavior which is a view to which I don't subscribe. It was so proud to discover that I had regular ADD plus three special forms.I was on cloud nine - the less like common people the better.

Now, my sawbones (usually used to refer to surgeons...I'm correcting myself...do what you were doing

before I was driven to distraction...I'm back) has recommended "Why is it Always About You" by

Susan Chotchkiss (I'm nearly certain that I spelled it correctly - I know the first thing that I would say

to her if I met here - we ADDers often speak without thinking).

Is my doctor trying to tell me something!?

I'm watching "Attack of the Show" (no one can guess my age; demographics for show: 18 to 35 -

advertisers love our group) and Kevin is interviewing Steven Seagal and he said: "It seems like supper heroes and action stars of today don't look like real men."I don't think that we have many man actors since circa 1980. The seventies were borderline.We had our man actors from about 1930 to 1970 - voice, dress, attitude, gate, facial expressions, etc.

Fact: Recently, 66% of Americans celebrated Christmas as a religious holy day and a secular holiday or just as a religious holy day; 33% celebrated it as a secular holiday; 1% don't celebrate it or don't know where they were and what they were doing on that day. Season's Greetings, Happy Holidays, Winter Solstice nonsense. It is a legal, national holiday celebrating the birth of a great philosopher or the Son of God. And, if you don't like it (by the way, this writer is no longer a Christian; praise Jesus) have the name of the holiday changed! It's P.C. to dump on Christians but you have to be P.C.-sensitive and have a multi-cultural nonsense attitude when it comes to the handful of non-Christians (Jews, Muslims), who in reality except for a couple of chestnuts aren't offended - it's a myth generated by liberal-atheists and liberal-Christians and liberal-non-Christians (about 20% of the population is liberal) that 99% of them are offended by Christmas and the religious and non-religious things associated with it - a lie that they perpetrate about Jews(absolutely!) and Muslims(?) (Logic: Veterans parading is associated with Veteran's Day, turkey with Thanksgiving, fireworks shows with Independence Day, Dick Clark's Ball with the New Year).

Fact: 70% of the well-known and the semi-well-known Founding Fathers were Christians (the

fast majority of whom practiced a particular Christian denomination; 25% were deists (which is

a philosophy not a religion in which believe in God and heaven are derived from reason, Jesus

was a great philosopher and many of our Fathers quoted from the Bible in political speeches and during political debates. but don't except miracles and prophecies as fact but moral stories and in some cases fabricated; 5% were atheists, agnostics, pantheists (they believe that the whole universe plus the laws of the universe such as gravity that make it operate is God), Jews, etc.

Fact: The general population at it's founding was 99% Christian; 1/2% Jewish; 1/2% other and they created a nation predicated on Judeo-Christian principles.

Fact: Today, 77% identify themselves as Christian; 4% Jewish; 3% Muslim; 1% Hindu and Buddhist; 15% subscribe to the following philosophies: atheist and agnostic 12% and deist, pantheist, etc. 3%.

When Rudy (I choose not to attempt to spell his last name) was Mayor of New York City, he

substantially increased police presence in black neighborhoods. In the U.S., 16% of the

population is black (13% African-American). Crime is those neighborhoods substantially

dropped. Blacks are responsible for over 50% of the major crimes: murders, rapes, assaults

and armed robberies. What makes it even more embarrassing for black people is the fact

that a majority of it is black on black crime. When Bloomberg (I can spell it because I checked

how it is spelled on T.V.; you do know that the Mayor owns or is the chief stockholder

in the Bloomberge cable T.V. network?) became mayor, he was forced by black leaders like

the Rev. Farrakan, the Rev. Jackson, the Rev. Sharpton (I'm a bigot if I misspelled any

of their names!) and liberal white politicians to do away with the Rudy increase. He compromised and cut it in half and crime went up but not to pre-Rudy levels. Why? The'leaders' hollowed racism and racial profiling!What did the fast majority of the people living in those communities feel: they were in favor of it and wanted police presence to rise even more. Black leaders and liberal white politicians and judges are out of touch with real black people and notice that most of them don't

live in these neighborhoods!

Elinor Tatum, publisher of the black New York City newspaper: "The Amsterdam News,"

explains that black newspapers try to talk for the black community and their reporters live among them! She states, "Still others talk for us but they're anointed not elected." This writer believes

that she is speaking of the famous Reverends - we forgot the Rev. 'Wrong' - and other

black leaders and liberal white politicians of their ilk because she takes the position

that "...there are the talking heads" and that "the real leaders are the local church pastor

the grandmother who lives on the corner, the school principal." (She appeared on CUNY T.V.'s African-American Legends. Are you shocked that this composer of words (a moderate-conservative - some, say, conservative with a pinch a libertarianism - would

watch such a show! Or, might watch Chris Mathers or Larry King or CNN. There is a

difference between educated and indoctrinated. Indoctrination is what our kids and

grand kids - I don't have a kid, I have two niece kids and a sponsored kid - - - only

liberals have compassion - their bleeding hearts. This guy rarely talks about what a

great uncle he is and about his little girl in Honduras. unlike liberals, we rarely go

around like liberal celebrities, politicians and professors and talk about what goody two

shoes we are. We don't do it for a pat on the back or in an effort to try to distract from all

the bad that we do! Conservatives aren't phonies like liberals. We're depicted as cold and callous

because we oppose failed liberal social programs and want to try new approaches to

helping the needy like school vouchers and faith-based programs instead of throwing

good money after bad. Workfare was restoring pride to the poor - Republicans forced

Clinton to sign it and Bush expanded it - millions were going off of it. One of the

first things that Obama did as president was sign an executive order restoring welfare.

Liberal don't rarely care about the needy - they want to keep the poor poor for they

vote democrat and now they're in the process with healthcare and energy reform, new

regulations, new cooperate take-overs, tax hikes and new government give-away's of making

all of us dependent on Nanny Obama from cradle to grave!).

The universe is 13.7 billion years old. You've heard of the Big Bang? Actually, it wasn't big

and it wasn't loud! A light year is the distance that a ray of light covers in one year which

is 6 trillion miles - now that's fast! (Or, a 186,000 per second!). One light year equals 6 trillion miles. Our present telescopes on earth and, especially, in space can 'see' 13.4 billion light years back in the microwave part of the spectrum. Space is a time machine. The further into space that you look the further back in time that you see. The sun is a star and it takes light 8 minutes to reach us traveling at 186,000 miles per second from a distance of 93 millions

miles. The famous Andromeda Galaxy is 2.5 million light years away and, there, for we

see it the way it looked 2.5 million years ago. (By the way, it is going to collide with our

Galaxy in 3 billion years).Originally, the universe was smaller then an atom or it was a point (the

opposite of big) and expanded rapidly and there was no air to carry sound (result: no

bang) and a fraction of a second later it inflated - it expanded again - this time faster then

light ( but Einstein stated that particles with mass( like protons, neutrons and electrons can't travel at the speed of light and mass less particles - light and invisible light - can travel

at the speed of light - but nothing can travel faster then light - - - he didn't tell us that space

couldn't travel faster then light!).You are thinking of empty space - a vacuum - but there is

no such thing. This area of space less then the size of an atom contained 10 dimensions

of space (you're familiar with three: length , width and depth), dark energy, dark matter,

potential energy and matter (the type which we are familiar). During the first 'bang' exotic

particles formed from potential matter and then space expanded faster then light carrying

the particles along for the ride. Picture yourself on a conveyer belt at the airport. As far as

your concerned your standing still reading your newspaper or today more likely talking on

your cell phone or texting. Picture yourself as the exotic particle and the belt as space. To

be more accurate the space belt section behind you is traveling faster then then it is in front

of you. It also means that our universe of regular matter and energy only occupies a small fraction

of the space generated from the second 'bang' - it continued to expand without normal mass

and energy within in it in which another 'big bang' can take place in 'our' universe but we can't

see it because light from it - traveling at the speed of light - visible, radio, x-ray - hasn't

had time to reach us. Where did the BIG BANG take place? In the center of the area 300,000

years after the big bang that we can 'see' as 3 degree Kelvin radiation in the microwave. That

was when the universe lit up and became visible but since then it has lost energy and cooled

off and is 'visible' in the microwave. Wrong! The BIG BANG didn't take place there. It took

place no where or everywhere. Yo can say that it took place in the center of your body or

in the center of our Galaxy or in the center of the area 300,000 years after the BIG BANG -

but so could a living being in another Galaxy claim the the BIG BANG took place in

the center of himself or the center of his galaxy which is further in or further out then our

galaxy which would place the center of the 3 degree Kelvin radiation at a point displaced

from our central point for the 3 degree Kelvin radiation. Do you want to become further

discombobulated. The radius of our universe is 13.7 billion light years and the diameter is

twice that amount but for a galaxy a billion miles out the edge of the universe 13.7 and the

opposite edge is 13.7 billion miles out. He is detecting that 3 degree Kelvin radiation 1.3 billion

years after us - no! As far as he's concerned it is 300.000 years after the Big Bang. But

this scribe stated that because of the second Big Bang - there is empty (which really

isn't empty with dimensions and dark matter and potential regular matter, etc. But the

guy in the galaxy further out will see 3 degree Kelvin radiation and closer in the first galaxies

that formed but we see nothing. And, let's go crazy - the 3 degree Kelvin radiation is all around

us at a distance of 13.4 billion light years shouldn't it be within in emanating from and

area 600,000 light years in diameter and not 27.4 billion miles in diameter. Solution?: Remember

what Albert taught us: everything is relative!!!

Wordsworth: "Are those by distance made more sweet."

Saint Nicholas (aka Santa Claus) A pimp or whatever, they had been called around 350 A.D.

( We no P.C. here: C.E. is anti-Christian and this is a Christian nation in spite of me) purchased

three girls to become part of his herd.Then-Bishop Nicholas bought them from the pimp so they wouldn't have to demean themselves as hookers ( or whatever, the trash were called in those days) and could service him! (I made up the part after the word 'and').

Shakespeare: "An admirable musician. O, she will sing the savageness out of a bear!"

For it is each a part of that which we call human nature. Order from disorder (anti-entropy);

coalesces to create the whole and to make sense. It comes together to create a point (a black

hole by one definition...OR...

Robert Herrick: "A sweet disorder in the dress

Kindles in clothes a wantonness:

A lawn about the shoulders thrown

Into a fine distraction...

A careless shoe-string, in whose tie

I see a wild civility:

Do more bewitch me, than when Art

Is too precise in every part."

PONDER:

"...that the visible matter that we see around us (including the mountains, planets,stars

and galaxies) make up a paltry 4% of the total matter and energy content of the

universe. Of that 4% most of it is in the form of hydrogen and helium..."

"...23% of the universe is made p of a strange, undetermined substance called dark matter,

which has weight, surrounds the galaxy in a gigantic halo, but is totally invisible."

"...73%, by far the largest amount, is made up of a totally unknown form of energy called

dark energy, or the invisible energy hidden in the vacuum of space. Introduced by Einstein

himself in 1917 and then later discarded (he called it his "greatest blunder") the dark

energy, or the energy of nothing or empty space, is now re-emerge as the driving force

in the entire universe. This dark energy is now believed to create a new anti-gravity

field which in driving the galaxies apart. The ultimate fate of the universe will be

determined by dark energy."

ScienceDaily: Discovering A New Earth 430 Light Years Away -- Astronomers Spy Earth-like Planet Forming Around Distant Star

http://www.sciencedaily.com/videos/2008/0401-discovering_a_new_earth_430_light_years_away.htm

Astrophysicists analyzing infrared images captured by the Spitzer Space Telescope found indications of a dust cloud surrounding a relatively young star. The star is 10 to 16 million years old, and analysis of the dust cloud suggests that it may coalesce and become a rocky planet like earth. It is located at a distance from the star that it may build an atmosphere, collect liquid water, and perhaps, in millions and millions of years, support life.
