Hurricane Sandy

Sandy is on its way and seems like this area will get within the path just like with Hurricane Irene.  Everyone is getting excited about it, but it's just another storm here.  It may knock out power and disrupt things, but that's how this system is built, to rely on an inefficient layout. 

Power delivery systems relying on a network of wires and poles is the main reason for the power outages that follow.  Even if the winds didn't down trees and branches, taking out portions of a grid, then there are any number of possibilities that lead to the same conclusion.  Why is this so?  Why not just start integrating communities with underground systems?

New living developments use buried cables all the time.  It makes digging in certain parts of the yard complicated, but it's a good way to avoid weather related outages.  As for high power delivery systems, there's no reason not to keep them above ground if need be, but all smaller towns and cities should work on switching over.  Just think if during a storm like this one could simply focus on the major channels and not worry about their grid failing from a local mishap?  It would change everything. 

As for the worries over the storm damage itself, there would be plenty of ways to fortify through the ages.  The time for inefficient building structures is over, it's already the future, and steps need to be taken so new construction sites prepare for emergencies like this.  Although it's not like the storm will be that much of an emergency, it's just at a time of year that the cold is starting to become an issue.  It's not like people can just go outside and enjoy the warm weather after the hurricane takes their power... people like the warmth to be there, and now it won't.

At any rate, it will be interesting to see what this storm does, and if it lives up to the hype the media is giving it.  Perhaps they are as bored with the politics as most everyone else is, and trying to get ratings where they can.  Maybe one day they'll learn how to bring back real reporting and then they won't have to try so hard. 

Two days before the Hurricane's arrival.  It should be interesting.

The Basic Particle

Breaking all known walls and forging a new path, the previous elementary particles are broken down even farther, despite the fact that science can't see the smaller pieces yet.  Just like how the molecule was once the elementary particle, and the atom after, it continues to get smaller with the more that is known.  This is the theory that it all starts with one thing, and everything is realized from that starting point.

The Basic particle is the substance that starts everything in existence.  It might not even be what can be called a particle, but something so infinitesimally small it doesn't even possess a shape.  Going by theories, it might be smaller than a quark is to the largest star we know, if the star represents an atom.  There's no use in guessing sizes really, since it may be impossible to see with current technologies at this time.

The point of the particle is that everything is shaped from it, and it is neither matter nor energy.  However, as a foundation it is the zero point, or what I refer to as 'null'.  Depending on the fit and shaping of null, something forms a pseudo matter and a pseudo energy starting point.  If we think of things in terms of clusters, then the basic particle/null forms clusters that interlock with each other.  Some clusters are small, some are large, and the shape varies.  Among the 'building block' shapes, they range from large to small sizes, but are always larger than the 'connector' shapes.

If the connectors of the smallest pseudo mass clusters are Popsicle sticks, and the largest of the pseudo energy connectors are toothpicks, then it's easy to see how the pseudo energy will always flow in and around the pseudo matter.  This means that building blocks of the mass clusters will continue to interact with the matter, and energy will interact with energy.  This also shows how energy doesn't have mass, since it is a loose connection that simply by passes the matter component. 

Note that in physics "Matter and energy can neither be created nor destroyed."  While this is true, unraveling both gets the basic particles, which in turn can make more of the other.  It should also be noted that everything begins and ends with energy.  This is seen at the early levels of combining, when there are millions of toothpick connections, and they smash together to form higher orders of pseudo matter, while lacing together yields different orders of energy.  But most importantly is that the energy and matter are separated by space, which is why the laced energy components eventually form something that is spherical in nature and large, while the matter components mash together to form something spherical and small.

In other terms of lacing versus smashing.  Think in terms of ice crystals.  If the ice crystals lace together, then they form a snow flake, that reflects light and basically is light and fluffy and dances around objects in flow.  Now think for smashing as the snow compacting on the ground or the ice particles colliding against each other and making something solid and dense, that can't be seen through easily, and impacts against things.  Ice particles make up both types of snow or ice, but they have very different roles.  The same can be said for the basic particles and their interaction together.  And just like shaving ice produces snow, matter can be pulled apart back into the pseudo energy components.

The only thing powerful to do all this is the center of a super massive black hole, and squeezing the pseudo energies together but separating them, produces a time/space violation, or the birth of a new universe through a big bang phenomenon.  In that rushing escape and velocity into an empty plane, the pseudo energies start forming completely new, but expected combinations.

And once again things are back at a new beginning. 

The Great Thaw

In the present the world is undergoing a period of great thaw, where the ice caps are melting and the permafrost is disappearing.  As that ice disappears, new challenges approach the world and the organisms that live here.  Ecosystems change, species thrive in places they didn't before while others are pushed to extinction, and the planet itself changes as the oceans get heavier and the land lighter.  More than anything, the human race has to figure out where it stands.

The last time the planet experienced a shift of temperatures at the end of the last ice age, human coastal populations were wiped out as there homes were swallowed by the oceans.  Many low lying lands in the Pacific are in danger of this happening, as they are only a few feet above sea level already.  Coastal cities now are threatened by rising waters and yet there's more to come.

Isn't it enough to expect humanity to counter this shift in nature by using nature?  The Water Plan, mentioned in a previous post, would be enough to prevent this, but people have to realize its benefits.  No one improves by just wishing for change, they have to embrace it and make it happen. 

When the water rises and swallows lands and displaces earth's population, I don't want to regret not having acted when we had the chance to change things.  The world could be a better place if we just worked together to make it happen, but only the profitable ideas win the day.  I hope the consequences are worth the ignorance. 

Chaotic Thoughts

After studying the workings of chaos for a long time, it's been discovered that 'order' is a part of chaos.  Order is essentially a repeating form of chaotic events over a time period.  Because the events are similar in nature, they are perceived as a structured event, with is considered 'order'.  There is no limit in time duration that perceived order can attain, since a minute change exists on some level within that system that preserves chaos in the system. 

This is why any systems will succumb to chaos eventually, because it is merely following a larger string of diverse events at that time.  Chaos is an element of the universe, and is completely natural, so if anything order is the unnatural attribute, but is necessary for certain species to survive in and operate.  Elementals, demons, and gods that are immersed in this natural energy are able to manipulate it in a way that creates a type of order, but that's not eternal, or is a very small fragment of the larger picture. 

For a natural example, we perceive the universe as a system as order, where stars are born, die, seeds debris to make planets and new stars (and eventually life), while the 'dead' stars become massive centers for the new star formations.  That 'order of events' is a very beautiful representation of chaotic repetition.  Though the system is somewhat similar, it's very much different in each series of events, and constantly changing into something new.  Chaos is a dynamic, order is static, that's why the only means to evolve and change lies in the dynamic system.  

The only reason people are taught the other way around is to impress upon them the fact that Gods are absolute, as order is their creation.  If everyone knew that order didn't really exist in the way they thought, then it would undermine the authority of the gods.

Atlantis, Gone Again

I saw a news post after a random web search that Google maps had traced the ocean bottoms and someone saw a grid-like pattern on the ocean floor around where Atlantis was supposed to be.  Google actually officially announced that they updated the maps and that the grids were from overlapping data sets.  Interestingly they had to make it news to say this.

I guess the only way to find out is if people see if there are really grids there or not.  It's interesting to think about.
