Higgs-Boson and Civilisation

What is this world we live in?
What does it all mean?
The search for the most fundamental particles goes on forever. The latest discovery, maybe is the Higgs-Boson particle. So small to find it needs masses of energy to find it, and "see" it. Yet we do not actually see. We see the effect it creates in a special tank where the particles collide.

Yet according to a recent issue of New Scientist, it may be possible to find smaller particles than the Higgs-Boson!!!

Smaller and smaller the particles will be found, and in order to find them we will need to find more and more energy to do the work.

Is it possible that in the future we will need the power of a hydrogen fusion fueled power source to create the energy needed to find the smallest particles that exist??

Maybe a good question, and maybe not.

On the TV some people have got excited that the Higgs-Boson has been found, yet the man who postulated its existence was a bit flustered that he could not see its application, yet on the ABC in Australia Dr Carl postulated the possibility that inertia-less flight could be achieved if it was possible to remove the mass from structure. Thus we would be able to build ship like objects that would be quite huge and would have zero mass, as we could control the mass.

Which brings me back to an earlier discussion point. The creation of an object with no mass also opens up the possibility of speed of light travel. With no mass and according to E=mc^2. Well is there is no mass then it is quite possible to speed an object up to the speed of light with the use of little or no energy with no relative increase in mass.

What an interesting thought!!!

Faster than the speed of light

In Star Trek TNG, Jean Luc Picard's manouvre that made him famous was to engage warp drive so as travel faster than light speed and so trick his opponents into thinking he was not where he was. It is a kind of expansion on the notion of Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle in that if I know where you are, you not actually there.
If we know where we are then that is where we are not, or if we know where we are going then we don't know where we are going!!
Life is like that!!

Christmas Day 2011

The cosmic significance of Christmas is yet to be fully disclosed. While the day may be common to all timezones, it is celebrated at different times, and in different ways around the world.
I'm sure NASA would love to see that the martians celebrate Christmas, or some beings on a far away recently discovered planet also have a Christmas like celebration.
I think the most interesting and odd news I read this week was that the Arecibo telescope is picking up reflections of TV broadcasts from something about 28 lights years away, so they can now video all those lost episodes of Dr Who, and lost episodes of the Magic Roundabout etc. With little loss of quality it would seem.
Truly bizarre and very Dr Who, if the news is in fact true!!

Thoughts before Christmas

Shopping, shopping, everywhere.
Christmas music everywhere.
Ever since the USA took over Christmas, and Santa in Coca Cola colours, Christmas has become the capitalists greatest money making period. So big that the sales make up for a quiet year.
Wandering around the shops, the music varies from the rather melancholy rings of Bing Crosby's White Christmas, through to the exciting Motown Christmas tunes.
It does get monotonous, and everything is marked as being a bargain.
Oh what to do??

Fiction continued

The earth is not what it appears to be.
The ancient knowledge that changes the face of Australia relates to the interpretation of the dream time, and its hidden meanings.
When Captain Cook landed at Botany Bay, he and his botanists affected some microbiological changes to the nature of the land Australia. Australia, the continents isolation following its separation from Gwondanaland was not an accident of floating planetary plates. In fact continental drift was not an accident but a planned and constructed effect of the ancient race that created the planet.
The floating plates on a liquid continental crust was not part of the original construction but was added as a means establishing an environment in which the "aboriginal" people could remain isolated from the rest of the planet, for the aboriginal people were the future descendents of a very ancient race that sought to continue its existence in secret. Along the way they lost their technology which had been once a dominant part of their lives. The colony of some 1million inhabitants were from a planet in a galaxy some (in earth terms) 6 billion light years away. They had arrived on earth when the planet was still cooling. Using their engineering they constructed a colony of tunnels deep within the Earth's mantle. its purpose was to protect several artifacts which when put together would generate a doorway into a myriad of other galaxies. While exploring this myriad of galaxies they had accidently triggered an even more ancient race to awake. Early interactions with the race would prove devastating to the teams who interacted with them, as the power the race controlled was insideouly poisonous to the ancient race. The discovered race was infintely older than the ancient race from which the aboriginal race was descended. It was a race that could live forever, expended no energy, could control the nature of universes outside its own. It could control all aspects down the sub particle level, and the reason it was asleep was that in the deep and ancient past, it had been put to sleep by an even more powerful race from an even earlier period, in a universe long since departed and in a different dimension.

The custodians of the ancient knowledge about the location of the artifacts, also knew of a means of creating a rich vegetational paradise where only sand was evident. The knowledge was based deep in the subconscience of every aborigal born, but was not utilised. Once the Australian conitinent had been lush with vegetation, but over time deserts had grown, yet the situation was cherished as it presented challanges to the perfection that was the Australian land mass.

Cook's crew introduced disease and death to the aboriginal race that acted to sever the communal link between all the tribes on the continent. There had never been wars between aboriginal tribes before the arrival of Cook and his sea men. Over the next hundred years the inter universal connection back to the ancients was slowly being lost, as the descendents were slowly lost due to infection and race dilution. With the oncoming of more people in the form of convicts and settlers and the settlement of new animal breeds on the land, the air became infected with particles that upset the clean environment, and the link between the aborigines and the land and other animal species was slowly altering. Lost was the communication between the aboriginies and the whale and dolphin species, and with the the birds.

The most important knowledge to be protected was the knowledge of the tunnels and the secret they protected. The artifacts must not be joined, as the awakened very ancient race would be able influence the new universe and destroy the only life in this universe, and thus end time.


Mean while in another part of the Earthly universe, a decision was made to create a stability hole in the Earthly Universe.
Its purpose was to establish a new stability point between two stars that were heading into an early uninduced stability, the black hole would suck up the residue, then disappear once it had reached its peak.

However, a mistake was made, and the interstellar matter collector was placed 900 earth years from the planet Earth. the matter collector employed powerful gravitation sub particles that once set in growth, could not be reversed.

The mistake had been made and the planet that contained the descendents of the ancient race, the artifacts, and one the universes few active life forms was headed for destruction, as nothing could stop the creation of the matter collector, For once the artifacts were placed in the vicinity of each other, they would generate the inter universal field, and the old ancients would awaken.

Why do things happen? Utter speculation and a little silly!!! Perhaps

Is there a natural order in the Universe? Is there a reason why things happen?
For example, when writing a sentence to express an idea, why is it that some words work better than others, and why is that we can write a sentence that conveys an idea so well, and other times, the meaning remains ambiguous?
What is the relationship between us, as human beings, the bigger universe, and life (in general) on Earth?
The concept of the "cosmos" implies that all things are inter-related. That the stirring noise of the cicada, which can be annoying, may in itself have a greater purpose beyond the noise, and its creation!! If only we can see what it is.
The flight of a seed after release, may in itself provide a natural model for a new aircraft.
The human race is copycat race. It innovates slowly, Its use of technology both advances and retards the human race, or limits the development of innovation.
Everything happens for a purpose, perhaps. I am not talking a the concepts of destiny, or a higher cause, or even any of the caballistic notions that Madonna believes/believed in.
The film Avatar was interesting from one standpoint, in that it mentions the idea that the whole planet was interconnected, the same notion is inferred more directly through the "force", which remained mysterious in eps 4,5 and 6, and was given a quantifiable nature in ep 1. Yet what if such an interconnection exists. Don't think I am getting carried into lala land by Hollywood.
What if the connection is not so much in what we can't see, but more so lies in what we don't at this stage understand. Put vaguely, we don't understand what we don't understand because we don't know what we are looking for.
Foe example, all life on the planet is connected by a common element we call DNA. Between species, the differences may be quite small, yet man cannot speak to an ape, or a dog, etc. Yet we share a common gene pool.
I wonder what the rate of vibration of the DNA molecule in the human being is, compared to the rate in a cicada. I wonder if they ever might be the same. What would happen if they were the same?
I began by asking the question why do things happen? Is it possible to control one's destiny in a "random" environment, or are all things programmed to occur, however we don't have the key to the program?

Why on some trips do the traffic lights seem to be in our favour, and other times, we just get red ones?

More Fiction

In 2099, scientists discover that the light wave and all the frequencies that populate the known universe is just one type of waveform that allows energy to be conveyed from one end of the universe to the other. They find several different types of wavefront buried in the substructure of the universe. This substructure allows almost instantaneous transmission of energy from one of the universe to the other. The direction of the energy is not affected by gravity. It is discovered that not only do the signals convey information, they can also be used to map the universe in real time, without the limiting factor of the speed of light.
It is realised that travelling across space can be achieved with minimal energy and minimal cost if a mechanism can be found to convert one energy form to another non destructively. However this conversion of energy is far too difficult unless a way can be found to artificially create what nature does naturally.
Scientist find that their understanding of the nature of the atom has been misunderstood, as the atom is made up components that are inter-dimensional, and that the natural state of matter has been misunderstood. Further to this, the nature of mass and gravity have also been found to be misunderstood, as Einstein's equation E=MC^2 was found to be an approximation of the exact calculation depended on an exact knowledge of the ratio of visible (in phase) mass, to invisible (phased). The previous notion of matter and antimatter were found to be faulty considerations given that the existence of such particles was determined by the limitation of a "light-based" philosophy of the nature of the universe against a "phase-based" philosophy on which the universe was actually based.
Scientists had to rework their models of the universe to take into account the new sub-structural components of the matter, that now became obvious with the new techniques of observation that were needed to view this hidden universe in the light that everyone saw.
