Playing Around wih Samsung Tablet

Recently, my phone provider made me an offer where they would give me a free Samsung S23 as long as I paid the taxes and agreed to turn in my old LG phone...  there would be no increase of charges on my phone bill...  I agreed to the deal but I am waiting to see if my bill increases, as I am not sure if I believe them or not.  A few years ago, I purchased a Samsung Galaxy Tablet but only used it to listen to Audible books and play games.  Now that it syncs with my phone, I have decided to expand my usage of the tablet.  My two biggest areas of usage are making Blogger posts and writing on my novel.  My novel is stored on MS One Drive where I have 1TB of free data storage...  with online storage I have no need for a large HDD, or a flash drive or an external HDD...  it would appear that those days for me are gone now that I have lots of flash drives and external HDDs...  lol

So far, what I have been able to discover is that I can write a potential posting and save it or I can publish it...  but, I cannot edit the date so that it will publish in the future.  I can insert a photo but I cannot change its size or move it from one side of the page to the other, it simple pops up in the center...  so, until I figure out how to do those two things, using the tablet's blogger app is not that advantagous.  There is no spell check on this app either.

I also cannot enlarge the size of the font either which is frustrating since I like using a larger size most of the time.    I cannot highlight or change the color of the text either.

So, while the tablet has its advantages, it seems to have more limitations which would prevent someone like me from using it more often...

Primordial Fractures in Space Time

The early universe may have been such a violent place that space-time itself fractured like a pane of glass. Those fractures would have released floods of gravitational waves, and a team of astronomers has discovered that we may have already detected these ripples in the fabric of space-time.

The team, who reported their results recently in a paper submitted for publication in the Journal of Computational Astrophysics and published on arXiv.org(opens in new tab), claim that they have seen evidence for so-called domain walls in the early universe.

When our universe was incredibly young, it was also incredibly exotic. The four forces of nature were bound up into a single, unified force. We do not know what that force looked like or how it operated, but we know that as the universe cooled and expanded, that unified force fractured into the four familiar forces we have today. First came gravity, then the strong nuclear force splintered off, and lastly, the electromagnetic and weak nuclear forces split from each other.

With each of these splittings, the universe completely remolded itself. New particles arose to replace ones that could exist only in extreme conditions previously. The fundamental quantum fields of space-time that dictate how particles and forces interact with each other reconfigured themselves. We do not know how smoothly or roughly these phase transitions took place, but it's perfectly possible that with each splitting, the universe settled into multiple identities at once.

This fracturing isn't as exotic as it sounds. It happens with all kinds of phase transitions, like water turning into ice. Different patches of water can form ice molecules with different orientations. No matter what, all the water turns into ice, but different domains can have differing molecular arrangements. Where those domains meet walls, or imperfections, fracturing will appear.  READ MORE...

Alien Life Being Obliterated by Moons

The moon crashing into Earth may sound like an unrealistic doomsday scenario or the stuff of sci-fi disasters. But for some planets in other star systems, such catastrophic collisions may be common.

New research published in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Societyuses computer simulations to show that collisions between exoplanets and their moons (called exomoons) may actually be a regular occurrence, which could be disastrous for any budding alien life on those planets.

While astronomers have yet to make a confident detection of an exomoon, scientists expect them to be plentiful in the universe.

"We know of lots of moons in our own solar system, so naturally we'd expect to see moons in exoplanet systems," Jonathan Brande, a University of Kansas astrophysicist who was not associated with the new study, told Live Science in an email. Therefore, theorists such as Brad Hansen, an astronomer at the University of California, Los Angeles and author of the new study, are interested in exploring how alien moons and exoplanets may interact, and how these interactions affect the potential for life in distant star systems.

Runaway moons

Gravity rules the interactions between a planet and its moons, manifesting as tides and other effects, like the slow recession of our own moon. Every year, Earth's moon creeps a little over an inch farther away from our planet, its orbit growing larger each year. At the same time, Earth spins a little more slowly every year. These two effects are directly related: Earth is giving some of the angular momentum from its spin to the moon's orbit.

If this trade-off were to continue long enough, the moon could eventually become unbound from Earth. Thankfully for us, this process would take so long that the sun would explode long before the moon could fully escape. But around some exoplanets, particularly those much closer to their stars than Earth is to the sun, this situation could evolve much faster, with planets and their "unstable" moons colliding within the first billion years of their formation, according to Hansen's calculations. (For comparison, Earth and its moon are about 4.5 billion years old).

In his simulations, moons that wandered away from their host planets often returned with a bang, smashing into the planet and creating huge dust clouds. These dust clouds glowed in the infrared, as they were illuminated and warmed by the star's light. But they lasted only about 10,000 years before fading away — a cosmic blink of an eye.

Observations from NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer space telescope suggest that every star will undergo one such event at some point in its lifetime, Hansen said. It's plausible that these dust emissions represent the collisions between planets and their moons, he added.  READ MORE...

Going After ex President Trump Again

 Donald Trump was elected President in 2016 after a majority of Americans, Political Pundits, Democratics, Mainstream Media, and his own GOP Party did not believe he would win...  It was a huge FU to American Polictics.  During his first two years, he was able to build up the economy better than anyother President before him.  However, his BIG MOUTH and ARROGRANT ATTITUDE caused him to loose favor among a majority of American and for the entire 4 years of his Presidency, damn near EVERYONE was against him and the Democrats BENT OVER BACKWARDS trying to remove him from office.  When Trump was replaced by SLEEPY JOE, the Democrats and mainstream media continued to BLAME TRUMP for all the problems that SLEPPY JOE was encountering.  However, only SLEEPY JOE could be blamed for ending the XL Pipeline and only SLEEPY JOE could be blamed for the idiotic withdrawal from Afghanistan and only SLEEPY JOE could be blamed for inflation.

Now that Trump is leading in the polls for the presidential election of 2024, the Dems and the mainstream media are yet ONCE AGAIN trying to hang Trump out to dry by potentially arresting him for an alleged crime that he committed regarding Stormy Daniels....  WTF???

The DA who will potentially be arresting Trump on Tuesday, allowed that knowledge to be leaked from their office and once Trump heard, he published the following statement.....   (see below)...

"NOW ILLEGAL LEAKS FROM A CORRUPT & HIGHLY POLITICAL MANHATTAN DISTRICT ATTORNEYS OFFICE, WHICH HAS ALLOWED NEW RECORDS TO BE SET IN VIOLENT CRIME & WHOSE LEADER IS FUNDED BY GEORGE SOROS, INDICATE THAT, WITH NO CRIME BEING ABLE TO BE PROVEN, & BASED ON AN OLD & FULLY DEBUNKED (BY NUMEROUS OTHER PROSECUTORS!) FAIRYTALE, THE FAR & AWAY LEADING REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE & FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, WILL BE ARRESTED ON TUESDAY OF NEXT WEEK. PROTEST, TAKE OUR NATION BACK!, [sic]" Trump posed to his Truth Social account.

Now...  the Dems and the mainstream media are saying that TRUMP is trying to incite violence because of what he wrote....

The only phrase that they could possibly be talking about is the one I have highlighted in blue...

Either I have my head up my ass or they have their heads up their asses, because that highlighted phrase has nothing to do with VIOLENCE!!!

ELON MUSK who is by no means STUPID, says that if the DA arrests TRUMP on Tuesday or anyother day, it will set him up as a martyr and just about guarantee that he wins the 2024 Presidential Election....

Wouldn't that be the BIG CHILI UP THE BROWN EYE for the Democrats, Progressives, Liberals, Socialists, and mainstream media....

Underwater Civilization

A new study by the University of Bradford demonstrates that magnetic fields may hold the key to comprehending buried civilizations. With the rise of North Sea wind farms, the race is on to collaborate with developers to put together facts about Doggerland ahead of development.

Ben Urmston, a Ph.D. student, will analyze magnetometry data to look for magnetic field anomalies that might point to the presence of archaeological features without the need for excavation, as per the release.

“Small changes in the magnetic field can indicate changes in the landscape, such as peat-forming areas and sediments, or where erosion has occurred, for example, in river channels," he said.

"As the area we are studying used to be above sea level, there's a small chance this analysis could even reveal evidence for hunter-gatherer activity. That would be the pinnacle. We might also discover the presence of middens, which are rubbish dumps that consist of animal bone, mollusk shells, and other biological material, that can tell us a lot about how people lived,” he added.
What is Doggerland?

Doggerland was a piece of land that connected continental Europe to Britain but is now covered by the North Sea. A rise in sea levels circa 6500–6200 BCE caused it to be submerged. The Dogger Littora is the name of the flooded area.

Towards the end of the last ice age, due to global warming, Doggerland was one of the most resource-rich and ecologically dynamic regions during the later Palaeolithic and Mesolithic periods (c.20,000–4,000 BC), was submerged under the water.  READ MORE...

A Religious Conundrum

The conundrum takes place when the actual question is difficult to answer. For example, whether or not you should lie about cheating on your spouse is not a moral conundrum; but whether or not you should lie so that your spouse feels better about the way he looks might be a moral conundrum.

So, what is this religious conundrum?

If God is a God of Love, then why would God make a point of exposing us to sin?

Was our exposure to sin necessary in order for us to exercise our FREE WILL?

But, there is also a problem with that because Jesus abandoned his FREE WILL to die on the cross...  assuming that the story is actually true.

Conclusion:  if you do have free will and decide not to obey God's will, are you still religious?

The other religious conundrum is if God-Jesus-Holy Spirit are one in the same, was Jesus really HUMAN, even though he lived on earth as a human?  

If he was not human, then was his crucifixion really painful?

Why has God not put part of his body into other humans?

Why just once?

But, the biggest conundrum is if Jesus was not human, then what was he?

Could he have been an EXTRATERRESTRIAL?

What we refer to as an ALIEN?

I mean...  think about heaven...  where is heaven located exactly?

In outer space?

The universe?

If we make the assumption that heaven is located in the universe, then where exactly?

The universe is a pretty damn big place...

If man was created in God's image...  then, we can assume, that God looks like us...  we can also assume that God has two sides...   Good/Evil...   Ying/Yang...

Perhaps, this is why there is both good and evil on earth...  because we were created in God's image?

However...

this is all speculation because God has chosen not to let us know the TRUTH...  He is withholding information from us intentionally.

Why?

We don't like it when politicians withhold information from us, but it is ok for God to withhold information...

and, with that in mind, we are still supposed to obey his will?

For me...  that is a huge conundrum...
