Space Time - Quantum Magic
 Maybe quantum chaos will lead to a better theory of gravity. Image Credit: kakteen/Shutterstock.com |
All the world’s a stage and the stage itself is space-time where all the laws of physics are merely players. But maybe space-time is not the fundamental aspect that it is believed to be. A team of researchers from Japan’s RIKEN suggests that space-time could emerge from quantum properties, and one in particular that is involved in it is called quantum magic.
That is not something out of a Marvel movie despite sounding like it. It is actually a mathematical measure of how difficult is to simulate a quantum state on a regular (read that as non-quantum) computer. It turns out that apart from the simplest quantum states, anything with a bit of chaos will end up being maximally magical, which is a wonderful mathematical euphemism for we can’t model them.
How does that relate to space-time? Well, there is a quantum theory that needed an extra ingredient and that particular flavor might be quantum magic. The theory is called bulk quantum gravity and it was proposed in the 1990s to try to reconcile gravitational and quantum theories. A requirement is that space-time is something that emerges from the theory, not something that is assumed a priori.
“Physicists have long been fascinated about the possibility that space and time are not fundamental, but rather are derived from something deeper,” lead author Kanato Goto of the RIKEN Interdisciplinary Theoretical and Mathematical Sciences, said in a statement. READ MORE...

Biblical Timeline of Earth's Existence
This biblical timeline has always bothered ever since my first Science class where I learned how old the universe was based upon verified scientific evidence... not heresay or speculation or what was written in a book.
All of my talks with ministers, pastors, priests, or members of the clergy have all tried to explain that this discrepancy should be taken with a grain of salt and if God thought it was important, that he would have explained it...
That answer was always unsatisfactory to me.
The other issue that has always bother is that the Bible says God is perfect and therefore does not make mistakes...
If God is perfect why didn't HE explain or use the real number of years in how old the universe was/is instead of his 6,000 years? That omission sounds like a mistake to me. Surely God is smart enough to have realized that someday science would discovery the true age of the universe and prove the Bible wrong.
However, the Bible does not really talk about the age of the universe directly. In order to get the 6,000 years, one has to add together the geneological records of the Bible with the Genesis account of creation. Therefore, the 6,000 is not really from the word of God and must have another explanation.
To that I say BS.
The Bible was put together by man... and when it was put together, no one was really concerned about the age of the universe.
Does God's omission keep him from making a mistake?
Human Brain Detects Signal
Scientists have recently identified a unique form of cell messaging occurring in the human brain that's not been seen before. Excitingly, the discovery hints that our brains might be even more powerful units of computation than we realized.
Back in 2020, researchers from institutes in Germany and Greece reported a mechanism in the brain's outer cortical cells that produces a novel 'graded' signal all on its own, one that could provide individual neurons with another way to carry out their logical functions.
By measuring the electrical activity in sections of tissue removed during surgery on epileptic patients and analyzing their structure using fluorescent microscopy, the neurologists found individual cells in the cortex used not just the usual sodium ions to 'fire', but calcium as well.
This combination of positively charged ions kicked off waves of voltage that had never been seen before, referred to as a calcium-mediated dendritic action potentials, or dCaAPs.
Brains – especially those of the human variety – are often compared to computers. The analogy has its limits, but on some levels they perform tasks in similar ways.
Both use the power of an electrical voltage to carry out various operations. In computers it's in the form of a rather simple flow of electrons through intersections called transistors.
In neurons, the signal is in the form of a wave of opening and closing channels that exchange charged particles such as sodium, chloride, and potassium. This pulse of flowing ions is called an action potential. READ MORE...

Trans Athletes
The USA is a country where freedoms prevail and life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness is guaranteed under the US Constitution...
However, don't come knocking on my front door as I will slam in door in your face quicker than stink on shit... if ya catch my drift.
Have of my career has been spent dealing with females who want to be treated equally with males in the areas of physical work and equal pay. I strongly believe that if a female can work like a man, then she should get paid like a man... and, if a man wants to work like a female, then he should get paid equal to that of a female.
Males who dress like females and have their penis cut off and take female hormones will still never be able to physically give birth. Females, who have their breasts removed and take male hormones will never grow a penis... although, I am sure they will have no problems wearing strapon dildos... hopefully, that will make them feel like a man.
HOWEVER, from a phyical point of view and a logical point of view, a man's body is different from a female's body... if you believe in God then blame him for that difference... but, no matter how much you piss and moan, the two bodies will never be the same... maybe similar but not physically identical. THEREFORE, biological males that have transitioned to females, should NEVER BE ALLOWED TO PLAY FEMALE SPORTS... under any circumstances.
If you are a fan of EQUITY, then females are not receiving any EQUITY when this happens... and, the day that a biological male joins a female sports team, then the rest of the biological females should quit because, none of you will ever win again. Your team may win but you will never win.
AND... the day that trans althletes compete in the OLYMPICS will be that the OLYMPICS turn into an athletic JOKE...
I cannot imagine biological females athletes wanting to show with biological male trans females... but, I could be wrong.
China & France
HONG KONG — Derided by concerned observers from Washington to Brussels, French President Emmanuel Macron’s recent trip to China did not go down well with allies. But he left his hosts feeling delighted.
Hundreds of cheering people were waiting to greet Macron when he arrived in the southern Chinese metropolis of Guangzhou this month, part of a high-profile state visit.
“He saw us and came right up to us and shook our hands who stood in the front row,” said Qiao Jiabao, a financial journalism student at Sun Yat-sen University, where Macron gave a speech. “I felt he was very gracious and proactive, even though we didn’t speak the same language,” Qiao told NBC News.
He said he and his friends joked that Macron, who has faced mass protests in France over his unpopular plan to raise the retirement age, had been treated so well in China that he might not want to go home.
When Macron returned to France, he faced another storm of criticism, this time over an interview in which he suggested that Europe should resist being drawn into a conflict over Taiwan and focus on “strategic autonomy” independent from both the United States and China. READ MORE...
Deferring to Liberals - AIN'T SMART
Defund the police is one of those FAILED POLICIES... in almost every major city where the police have been demonized and defunded... there has been a mass exodus of residents to other locations outside of those cities and in many cases outside of those states. Consequently, the local and state governments have less taxes to collect and less money to spend... NOT SMART
Allowing our southern borders to be completely open will, in time, create another set of problems that will not just be targeting the south. While immigrants will be taking many jobs that AMERICAN refuse to take, other issues will begin to surface like:
- an increasing number of slums
- an increasing number of crimes
- an increasing number of health issues since NO IMMIGRANTS are required to have shots
- a reduction of hospital supplies
- an increase in welfare expense
- an increase in illegal drugs
- an increase in child abuse and rape
- an increase in drivers without insurance
- an increase in immigrants going to public schools that don't speak English
- an increase in violence in K-12 between immigrants and Americans
NOT SMART
Liberals want to move from a Democratic Republic form of government to a Socialistic form of government where the conservative view points are censored from the public. Without two points of view government, then the USA will gravitate down towards a dictatorship type of government and/or communistic like North Korea, Russia, and China where MOST FREEDOMS ARE NON EXISTENT. If the liberal care anything at all about this country, they will soon realize that ALL OF OUR LEGAL IMMIGRANTS came to the USA to get away from the type of governments that the liberal want to create... NOT SMART
Going Green, Fighting Climate Change, and Ending Fossil Fuels is just plain ridiculous and reckless. The main countries in the world like: Russia, China, India, Africa, the Middle East, and Central and South American ARE NOT GIVING UP FOSSIL FUELS... it does not take a brain surgeon to see and realize what these other countries are doing. But, the liberal don't believe that and have convinced themselves that the world will follow their example... ANYBODY WHO BELIEVES THAT DESERVES TO GET THE BIG CHILI UP THE BROWN EYE... NOT SMART
The Liberals believe that all these social programs are going to be paid for by the WEALTHY... like George Soros, Elon Musk, Bill Gates, etc. Well... let me tell you something about that plan. Those wealthy people, first of all are not STUPID... so they have most of their taxable income hidden in off shore bank accounts in the Caymans. So, who do you think is going to pay all those taxes? That was a rhetorical question. If we don't get it from taxes, we either print up more money (diluting the value of the US Dollar and increasing inflation) or we borrow it from foreign countries... also will have negative consequences on our economy... NOT SMART
Naval Warship
The U.S.S. Freedom (LCS 1) is shown during day one of the ship's builders' trials on July 28, 2008. On April 14, the U.S. Navy said it would "christen and launch" the latest Freedom-variant LCS, or Littoral Combat Ship, which would be known as the U.S.S. Cleveland (LCS 31).LOCKHEED MARTIN/GETTY IMAGES
A new U.S. Navy warship appeared to collide with a tugboat during a "dramatic" launch of the vessel.
The U.S. Navy said on Friday that it would "christen and launch" the latest Freedom-variant LCS, or Littoral Combat Ship, which would be known as the U.S.S. Cleveland (LCS 31). The ship launched at 10 a.m. local time on Saturday at the Fincantieri Marinette Marine shipyard in Wisconsin. It was the last scheduled side launch of a ship at the Wisconsin shipyard before a ship lift system is put in place, according to the Navy.
In footage purportedly showing the event, the new LCS appears to collide with the tugboat that aided the launch. Amid cheers, the boats slowly take off, only for the U.S.S. Cleveland to immediately tilt to the side and send a wave crashing over the tugboat. It's unclear if the warship slammed into the tugboat, or if it was sent backward because of the force of the wave.
A U.S. Navy spokesperson told Newsweek that "during the launch of the future USS Cleveland (LCS 31) on April 15, 2023 at Fincantieri Marinette Marine (FMM) in Marinette, Wisconsin, unintentional contact occurred between the ship and a supporting tug." READ MORE...
