SOMETHING BIGGER THAN OURSELVES

Today Thom Hartman had a creationist guy on his show. It seems that in New Jersey Governor Christie, who may yet run for President despite denials, is trying to institute a policy where creationism is taught as science. Thom Hartman mentions Hindu myths about the world being created from the heart of a lotus flower. The escamoes teach that whales and seals and something else are the hands and fingers of some under sea god who was dismembered. Others speak of a turtle riding on the back of an elephant. Then you have the Christian version where God created the earth according to Bishop Usher on October 23rd of 2004 B C at nine o clock in the morning. But as Lisa Simpson would say, "It isn't science" and shouldn't be taught as such. Science is in the business of challenging and supplanting charished old beliefs. Religion is only interested in reinforcing them. The two are incompatable. A scientist lives by observation and investigation. And when a scientist proposes an idea it is a proposition or a hypothesis. A hypothesis is different than a belief. One is pursued and investigated and challenged. The other is reveranced and put in a golden bird cage to be viewed on special occasions by pilgrims. The only time a scientist will venture into the unknown is an area where he has absolutely no facts. Then he begins looking for facts. You say a Super Force is responsable for the Big Bang? Then prove it. Hartman talked about string theory and mathematical formulas possibly leading to a different theory of the origen of the universe. He spoke of "Universe bubbles suspended in form". I don't believe that - - but if scientists want to try and prove that, fine.

Euclid once proposed poly-dimensional space. Taking a cue from polygons, poly means more than three. In a four dimensional world, certain things can be deduced. For instance the overall "encompassment" of four dimensional space can be acertained by multiplying by all four dimensions. Other things are more difficult like counting the faces on a ninety degree cube. I have a formula for this not seen in any textbook devised a couple years back. It involved the triangulation or "choose 2" for Google fans, times one less dimension. That would give you eighteen faces for a four dimensional cube and forty for a five and 75 faces for a six dimensional cube. But how many dimensions does Volume have in a four dimensional world? This is a trick question because the word Volume pertains to three dimensions. How many Volumes in a three dimensional object? There is but one. But for a four dimensional object you just might take the progression of choose 3 instead of choose 2, and then multiply by TWO less than the dimension. In this case the second in progression is four and you'd times it by two less number dimensions which would give you eight Volumes in a four dimensional object. Obviously nobody has gone to a four dimensional world to test this thesis. Of course in my 3, 2, 1 theory we have but three dimensions of space, two of Time, and one of "mind energy" or whatever. You see, we don't know and we have to guess and postulate. This is what a scientists does. He postulate and tests. He comes to a conclusion or finding. It might be a FACT. He hopes it's a FACT. But as Hartman points out Science unlike Religion has not always been "Perfect" and therefore unlike religion, spared the necessity of ever changing, Science expands the sphere of overall knowledge and in the process increases the general enlightenment and "Welfare" of mankind.

Addendum to last paragraph: Last night after I posted this blog a few minutes I got a strong vibe. Some reader out there took strong exception to the whole thing about cubes, because I had said according to my theory nine lines should connect a cube. But as you know if you have ever done graphics in BASIC it takes twelve lines to connect all the points in a cube. It takes twelve lines to connect eight dots. However one can connect all the dots to at least "describe" the cube by just using nine dots, as my theory suggests. That is all the dots are connected, the top pannel and the bottom pannel, and one line to deliniate the distance between the two. [As of nine o clock this morning I know Thom Hartman has not read this posting. Now there is a figure that is a doubled tetrahedron, which indeed would be connected by NINE lines to all of its five dots. Were the corner angles of said triangles 45 degrees from a side 2 D view one would view the object as a square polygon. A single tetrahedron is the carbon atom, on which carbon tetrachloride, or instance, is based on. ]As you know by my theory 1 times 1 = 1. One dimension has one line. 2 times 2 = 4 and for two dimensions it takes four lines to connect four dots for a plane. In terms of the eighteen sided cube, I'm not good enough in solid geometry (of visual imagination) to count all the lines in the thing, but there may be a reader who is smart enough to "visually count the lines". As you know in a letter to my brother and I guess here, too, I said that an octohedren, otherwise known as a double pyramid, uses six dots to make eight faces whose edges touch the 3 D sphere. The number of connecting lines would also be twelve here. I have a whole BASIC program dedicated to constructing the perfect Pyramid. In other news, I guess it's a sign some likes you or at least enjoys your company when they begin inviting you to events you would not normally attend. I'd like to know what Thom Hartman thinks of these last two postings. Do I have something or not?

In terms of the earliest civilization of the planet in terms of culture such as agriculture when man moved from the "hunting and gathering" phase when he needed those Hyperactive genes, now he moved to agriculture where this was no longer an advantage. He said it was ten thousand years ago at the end of the last ice age. That's awfully recent. I always heard man has been agricultural for 50,000 years rather than ten. And as you know I have postulated that there was some High Civilization some 13,000 years ago when the Pyramids were built and perhaps other relics like a Biminy Stones in the Bahamas. It could be there was a brief ice age spurt that killed off this golden era. As you know the Sphynx represents Leo the Lion, and some say it was built when the sun entered the sign of the Lion at the time of the vernal equinox as known by the precession of equinoxes and the 26,000 year "grand circle" the north pole traces in the heavens like a spinning top. I had a book called the Secret Passage of the Lion I learned a lot from. This was a Mormon publication, but they were sly about admitting that. Gene Scott has said that the Bible speaks of pre Adamic "Cities" but that they wern't inhabited by humans as we known them because the word in Hebrew is "dwelling places" alluding to super human beings. Some even on the radio program this morning say the human race was "seeded" from an outside force and this is why mankind suddenly made such a cultural leap forward. The gap theory in Genisis makes note of the Hebrew word AND, which other places is translated "Now- - " or "After this" or "Then- - " and the like. Also the word WAS is in the "preterate" tense and not in the "imperfect" tense. If you've studied Spanish you know they have two different past tenses. Which meqans the word "WAS" actually translates as "Became". Gene Scott believes this. Chuck Smith also subscribes to this Genisis gap theory. But unfortunately this book, and "Flashbacks" by Timothy Leary and many others were torched by a roommate on October 8th. 1987 nine months to the day before you know who was born. And you wondered why we called it "Phoenix". You know, coming alive from the ashes and all?

We used to be visited by the neighbor's cat called Willis. Cats have their own ideas about who they like to hang out with. Willis was just a kitten when he first started coming around in mid 1969 and liked to climb up the back door screen and get stuck. Every time I hear the song "Little Willy Won't Go Hope" I think of him. Well a couple of years later Willis fathered "Bo" a cat who our family at first and just me at the end had as a pet for just over thirteen years. Some may think the "Bo" we mentioned a few postings back had to do with the cat, Bo. I'm not precluding that possability. I'm not about to conclude which spirits do or don't pervaid the bodies of our pets. But Thom Hartman talks about Higgins all the time. Well Willis had one of the best purrs of all time, that "golden throat sound". Willis was a yellow cat or "topaz" as I call it. I used to like to record his purrs. The little girl next door came over to watch Bo and it's brother Al being born. Pete Richards named both cats after two friends of his in a band he played in, who were brothers. Pete said "Al' was short for "Albert" but I later saw the brother's human counterpart name on a record album and he was called "Alex". I asked and he said "Albert is the name of the cat, but Alex is the name of the ex band member." It was a small two kitten litter because the mother "Squeak" was really young at the time. She also invited her best friend from accross the street, too. In 1979 the first girl saw me walking along as she was riding her bicycle in the "Sunkist" neighborhood. She said she was nineteen. I asked her "guess how old I am now" and she said, "28". I was astounded at her accurecy.
