I enjoy finding science articles that declare things that we have found, that I thought we already knew. Take the following article, for example:
Study: Black holes seem to form before galaxies
01/07/2009 When galaxies initially formed, they weren’t the first in the cosmic neighborhood. The supermassive black holes, which reside at the center of galaxies, probably moved in first, a new astronomy study suggests.
Measurements from radio telescopes looking at the early universe, hint at that answer to this cosmic chicken-and-egg question of whether the galaxy or its supermassive black hole existed first. The new research presented Wednesday at the American Astronomical Society in Long Beach, Calif., is preliminary, however. It’s based on measurements of four black holes that date to about 1 to 2 billion years after the Big Bang.
Previous measurements estimating the mass of galaxies and black holes showed a nice steady relationship that didn’t give a clue as to which came first. But when astronomers used radio waves to look back to 1 to 2 billion years after the Big Bang, they found four supermassive black holes that were far larger than the standard plot would show. That likely means that they formed before the galaxies, said study lead author Chris Carilli of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory in Socorro, N.M.
But after that, astronomers are still clueless on why this happens and how the galaxies formed around them.
“I don’t think it clears the murky waters of our understanding of galaxy formation,” Carilli said in a news conference.
Basically the article states that using radio telescopes they have figured out that black holes are there before galaxies. The last two paragraphs above blow my mind. Um.. you think the stars in galaxies are coalesced by the massive gravitational pull coming from the black holes at their center?! Who are these astronomers that are “still clueless”
This makes me very sad for our astrological future. Guess I need to start writing more.

I’ve always been fascinated by both Astronomy and Astrology, and lately I’m convinced that there is a real connection between them. If the gravity of the moon can make the tides, think what the gravity of a black hole can do. I think that the alignment of the earth to the rest of the universe, specifically black hole locations has a bearing on the way that the human brain develops during its embryonic state. Thus the influence of these gravities from their locations during the time of your gestation causes subtle differences in the way your brain grows and results in the differences between the astrological signs.
I could be completely wrong, but it fits into my views on gravity, the universe and theology as well. During the year, the Earth changes position just enough to allow for different areas of the rest of the universe to effect us. The sun’s gravity would overwhelm the pull of stars and black holes on the opposite side of it, thus negating their influence.
Just a thought I’ve had for a while that I wanted to get out of my head.

The next solar cycle, when the mangetic fields of the sun finish reversing is most likely going to take place in 2012. Coincidence? I bet it happens in December of 2012 and knocks out a lot of our modern technologies. Were the mayans aware of the solar cycles? I can’t imagine that they weren’t.

Watching a show on parallel universes right now. Talking about multiple levels of “parallel universes” and all that BS. Come on guys, its wrong. You are close. Our universe is a bubble. But its not one single bubble, its made of the infinite number that you try to put in the parallel universes. The “branes” are not 2 dimensional, but 3. Bubbles.
Everything at its smallest and biggest level is a sphere. Look at atoms and molecules. Look at the planets and stars.
Life, as we know it, is the coalesation of all our molecules held together with “energy” or “gravity”. One particle of your brain making a decision would NOT split off into a new parallel dimension, because ALL of your particles are being controlled by the energy that is holding them together. They are NOT independent and autonomous.
I think what bugs me the most about parallel universes is that its unnecessary and unprovable to explain the universe. Why add this extra layer of unprovable and improbableness to the explanation of the universe??
String Theory/M Theory has some things that I agree with. The vibration of membranes. Multiple membranes after the big bang, and the collision of all existing membranes causing the big bang. But I don’t think there are strings, only BUBBLES. You don’t need strings to explain things.
I think I’ll make up a “Level 5 parallel universe” – in it gravity is backwards, dogs and trees can talk and air is thick like water. When you start creating machines to do quantum experiments that by their very nature of being observed are changed, you are just making things up. Gravitons…extra dimensions. I have no doubt that if we let science keep making things up, and making up machines to observe their made up things, there will be some results. How can you know that your results are not just a by product of the machine itself? YOU CAN’T. It’s almost like some of this science has turned into politics and the scientists are just making things up to keep their jobs and spend money.
I have a video I shot to try and help explain this, but I need to edit it before posting.
The LHC has yet to find a Higgs. Know why? Its not there. This universe is complicated enough without needing massive invisible elements to govern it. Why does the theory of the Higgs Boson even exist? Recent discoveries have proves that the math behind some accepted theories is wrong. But why admin you are wrong? Make up a super massive, yet undetectable, element that makes your equations work.
I say DARK MATTER IS BUNK because I believe our current math is wrong. I completely agree we have no idea what we are doing. But the concept of dark matter to satisfy unbalanced equations sits wrong with me. Lets look at our calculations first, then start making up shit.

Endurance. Being constant. Perseverance furthers.
Formed by Thunder and Wind.
This trigram is scarily appropriate for who I am today, and what the world was today. It was incredibly windy and we had a nice thunderstorm.
“If we are in pursuit of game and want to get a shot at a quarry, we must set about it in the right way. A man who persists in staling game in a place where there is none may wait forever without finding any. Persistence in search is not enough. What is not sought in the right way is not found.”

The post office sent me this free, because I said I was interested in “green”mailings. They then proceeded to send me 5x the normal amount of junk mail i get, regarding “green” mailings….. ah irony.
green.
I do not think that word means what you think it means.

in case you were wondering.
i was.
my jacket is reflective.
worn off from the backpack i wore in san francisco.
but still seems effective.
time long ago.
but still right here.
life is strange.
the jacket looks like its dark blue and gray in normal light.
sweet eh? I have gloves too.
so much for technology.

why are you here?
now?
no, really, why are you here? do you know me? perhaps i told you? maybe you think im Joe?
why here and why now? no that is the wrong question.
of course here and of course now, the question is WHICH WAY?

So I consulted my iPhone iChing about my current situation. It showed me:
Song: Conflict
Argument, contention, confrontation and conflict in general.
The trigram representing heaven and that representing water, moving away from each other. The superior person, in accordance with this, in the transaction of affairs takes good counsel about their first steps.
seemed quite appropriate.

just a quick note. I’ve been busy working and working.
no deep insights, no new dreams deferred. just me working my time away with nothing much to show for it but some random disjointed websites that only make sense in my head.

what the fuck is going on?
im still here. not doing what i know i need to. hiding behind time. behind bodies.
what the fuck? really? i think i understand the entire universe and nano-biology but i cant get laid? from my hot hot wife? this life is such a strange journey. i thought i had an understanding, but i am always back to here…. its so strange.

im obsessed.
its a general character flaw i know of. i get targeted onto something and i lose sight of all else.
how my brain works i dont know. i just know the results.
lately (since december) its been about my car.

im sorry.

too easy to find accidental in space. you must search for the light.
what the hell are we going to do together? chakik is next barney. i didnt even want to write that. it will get searched.
together
thats the key
together

if you cannot look me in the eyes, digitally or otherwise, and account for your time promised to me, i strongly suggest you make no more promises.
everyday of my life, i attempt to complete what i set out to do, regardless of personal, work, or made up shit.
i haven’t even come close on my goals. but i do know this: if you hire me to do a job, i will make sure its completed to your satisfaction while considering your audience. that basically means i will finish the job. right. no matter what.
if someone pays you for a job, upfront, and you don’t complete it, do you feel guilty?
for me personally, thats not even an option. if i tell you i will do something, ill do it.
wow im pissed now, this was supposed to be catharthic

its interesting how everything coalesceses. pretty sure that is a word.
why are we here? what are we doing?
anyone who knows me well knows i have a complex. tonight it fired hard.
what if i’m supposed to change it all digitally? in 100, 200 years, isnt that magic again? unexplainable again?
i dont know why i keep having these thoughts and feelings, but it seems as if everything i do is tied to everything everyone else does.
and thats the whole point.
maybe some day.

cont here:
(if you didnt read it) (tho 99% did)
I came across an interesting article preaching the death of the microsite. Does anyone think it has any merit? http://billganz.com/blog/?p=78
Didn’t the web promise the death of print?
Everything is about evolution. Sadly our world is driven by the evolution of commerce. The microsite is no more dead than the web. The next evolution of the microsite, that unattainable… see joshua.hamman.org
everything changes. and crowds move along. but you can’t go so extreme or so niche that you can forget where you came from
to quote Jurassic Park, and one of my least favorite actors, Jeff Goldblum, “you.. you stood on the shoulders of giants, and you .. you. never thought were you were headed”
badly paraphrased.
if you are still with me:
the web, our attention, is not about changing the way we see things. its about changing the things we see.
that means microsites will never go away. will they get more targeted? sure, so we can track you better. but thats about it. sharable mediums should be created, regardless AND seperate from the main focus. If you make a robot dog on your mySpace page dance and sing, if i click it, the last fucking thing i want to see, is that dog dancing and singing the same way.
plan for multiplicity. plan for the best scenario: someone comes to the site 40 times, over 40 days. do they get a unique experience each time?
imagine if someone just came 3 times?
call me. chuck we war.

whats a new way to sell things to you?
we’ve seen blogs, video blogs, tattoos, parties, even ads in ads. whats next?
thats what ive been tasked to answer at work. i love coming up with fun new ideas for corporate sponsored media outlets. at the same time i think about macchu piccu (im sure i spelled that wrong) and the beer commercial that damaged it. consumption, at the endorsed level it exists at in the united states currently cannot continue.
we all have to change how we live in order to keep living with the future of this planet. right now we are hoping we can colonize mars when the analysts come back and say we should have stayed on solar power. the
oil was created by the impact of the earth and another celestial body collided and created the moon.

saw another example of backwards time tonight.
cant remember specific now tho. :)
anyone that knows what i mean and wants to help, please identify yourselves soon.
weeks? days. years? hours. minutes? months man come on. seconds?
we all must do something soon with this time we have. to squander it more is so wasteful. this is true of all of now. always. (ps its always now.)
(no past we can change, no future we can know, its always now. all influence each other yet occur only once.
now.
)

we need to show our way of life ISNT mcdonalds, or target or kroger or walmart.
our way of life is shared, true, information. at least it should be.
competitive information. how far the meat and fries come, as to how far they go. globalization kills us thru the unsustainable network of exchange. water and food should not come from a distance.
in the soon future, water cannot come from a distance. food will continue for as long as sustainable.
its gonna be rough unless we figure things out.

I’d like to get 2 Pleo Robots and treat one nicely and abuse and neglect the other, to see how much the really do interact/react to their environment.

heat is a reaction that can be translated by the brain as both pain and pleasure.
The brain translates perceptive feelings that the Direct Sensory Inputs from our bodies report; touch, smell, tastse, sound, sight.
nerves transfer the message from our DSI to the brain.
