My Strange Place
The point of this post is actually a new thought I have on the nature of physics and more specifically a new view of how gravity may work. The title "My Strange Place" is what I will explain first because that is how my thoughts got me to this new idea.
We have all heard of people who keep in mind their own "special" place. This is the kind of place that makes one feel peace. For some it is the rolling waves on a beach. For others it may be snow capped mountain peaks seen not too far off from where they stand. I guess there are more than a few who only feel it in their own home on the couch with uninterrupted time watching the boob tube. Then others relax on the patio with favorite tunes backdrop sipped wine. Some people are much more specific. It can be a time as well as a place. I know people who long for simpler times to return. They may see themselves younger, more happy, perhaps they want to relive a signature moment. With the mental liberty of our times blending with heightening stresses it is understandable that some have that quiet place they mentally go to. My place is a little more unusual. We live in an age of special effects based on visuals previously left to just the imagination of past generations. Thanks to satellites we know what Earth looks like from orbit. We can also imagine how our solar system looks from just outside its borders. We can just as well imagine the vantage from anywhere in the galaxy, or the universe for that matter. I have mentally placed myself viewing from all of the places above. For some reason though over the past days and weeks I find myself mentally in the same place over and over again. The more often I go there and the longer I stay the more I feel and understand where and what it may be that is more in the nature of the place than purely the geography.
My place is the exact center between the Milky Way and the galaxy Andromeda. That is so far off into space that both galaxies appear to be the size of a full spring moon. They have no definition more than the light we see from any planet or star in the night sky. The other stars and galaxies are just faint dots of light. It is very cold and dark there. What is in empty space is all around me, and there is so much of it that it feels emotional. I feel and see it at my own size so the quantum hyperactivity there is not a factor. But actually as I stay there and think it is the quantum activity that is all there really is. The laws of quantum mechanics paint an invisible tapestry all around and in me. At these distances away from anything larger than the sub-atomic level do the other laws of the universe apply to me? I have quite a few thoughts about that, but for now I want to share only one, and it is a question. If I am in the exact center of not only cosmic location, but also in the exact center of the mass of the two galaxies which way would gravity move me? It seems that a single atom could be enough to push me one way or the other toward a near eternal forced movement in the grasp of long range gravity toward one galaxy or the other. Considering this caused me to reconsider the entire thing.
I have been taught that gravity is the force that pulls one smaller mass toward a larger mass. That contends that if I were in my place out there in the bare cosmos with the Earth and our Moon that the Earth would cause the Moon to move toward it. Isolating the concept out there made me think that it may not be as it seems. Gravity may not have thats same function out there in my far away quiet place. As it is with Maxwell's Electromagnetism being a force stronger than gravity here on Earth could it be that the forces are not the same out there? I believe it may be so for this reason. Gravity does indeed act as we expect it too on all of the large bodies in the galaxy, and perhaps the universe, but not in isolation. It may in fact take the massive (excuse the pun) masses of all, or most of the large bodies in the galaxy to break out of quantum laws and cause the lumbering gravity to form. A single isolated Earth and Moon may not have any gravitational effect on each other unless contained in a localized mass such as our galaxy. It may be that that gravitational relationship requires much of the surrounding other gravitational interaction between the other larger mass bodies to exist at all. We see gravity behave as it does only because of the complex interaction of many masses. It may be that all those masses eventually interact sufficiently to break the laws of quantum mechanics and create gravity. This may be the reason gravity is seemingly odd to the other three universal forces and is not viewed as compatible with quantum mechanics.
Other thoughts later, but for now I am going back to my strange and quiet place to think. I am glad I do get to return.

Dark Energy Theory - The Smooth
First you need to consider my theory explaining what caused the Big Bang. The original article is on another blog on this site and for convenience here is the link http://blog.darkwingnightmare.com/2011/03/23/what-caused-the-big-bang.aspx
but here is in brief the concept. Before the universe as we know it existed, from galactic scale to quantum particles which we observe and study was the pre Big Bang, which science also does not explain, as a state of unexplainable nothingness. The Big Bang theory seems to suggest that space is something that just came in with the Big Bang. My theory is that before the universe we know existed an irregular shaped three dimensional tesseract of just that, three dimensions, both expanded and contracted simultaneously. That seems like a contradiction unless you see or imagine a spacial tesseract. Imagine the cube inside the cube contracting, while the outside cube expands. There is no time or size limit to this function. The defining moment of this scenario is when the dimensional expansion is so large over the contraction that the dimensional pressure causes the Big Bang to erupt into that observable universe we are talking about.
Now to explain, as we know the basic universe is three dimensional. Height, length, and depth is how we observe and measure it, and is also what we exist in. So why do we not see planets, stars, atoms, and everything else in the shape of cubes? Why instead are these shapes spheres? Dimensional pressure can explain that cubes turbulently spinning and grinding against each other would expel smooth spherical shaped matter. It would seem easier to accept at the atomic and sub atomic level than at the solar and planetary level without the Dark Energy Smooth theory. The maximum dimensional pressure occurs at the smallest scales. So much dimensional pressure occurs at scales smaller than quarks that the matter and energy are ground out of normal space matter and energy existence. This "non normal" matter is under so much dimensional pressure it is converted out of normal energy/matter into Dark Energy. It has expanded in greater abundance than "normal" matter and energy out along the same patterns as the natural universe. It is so abundant that it caused the spherical shapes on the solar and planetary level. The Dark Energy/Matter is the compressed "Smooth" that formed galaxies and everything in them over and over again. The galaxies are flying away from each other as they are all set in the "Dimensional Pressure Smooth" Dark Energy that is still forming reactions within them, as well as increasingly filling the space between them. Irregularities in its formation cause such effects as "Dark Flow"within, and multiple universes outside this limited observable universe. There is no difference in its nature from quantum to cosmological scale, and thus it is the key to Unification Theory.
Iranian Nuke Sites Attack Post Analysis
Hopes that the Iranian government leadership will soon happily stun the world with a welcome announcement can be relegated to the realm of pipedreams and naive wishes. Let's suppose that tomorrow Iran's supreme leader Ali Kahmenei announces that Ali Larijani or another chosen change of face is appointed to replace Mahmoud Ahmadinejad pending new elections. The intention will be to cooperate with new IAEA guidelines and lead Iran to increased economic cooperation and prosperity for the greater good of the people of the republic. A warmer tone is taken toward Israel and Western countries. Iran wants peace and covertly sends agents to whisper to the West that it will dismantle terrorist networks.
Yes, a pipedream, but many would like to see Iran grasp for the out card for the reality of what is actually coming. Here is the bleak forecast for the strike on Iranian nuclear facilities and possible scenarios in the aftermath.
- Depending on weather and the schedule of meetings of Israeli leaders on or about June 18th 2012 Israeli jets cross into Iran and strike facilities in Bushehr, Fordow, Natanz, Qom, Parchin and as well other sites. The raid succeeds in nominal loss of Israeli jets and the Iranian nuclear program is left in shambles.
- Iran declares war on Israel and threatens to strike all nations aiding them. They immediately expend between 25 to 40 % of their naval assets to close the Straits of Hormuz. Two to four ships begin mine laying operations in the Straits. Patrol boats fire C-802 guided missiles combined with land based H-2 Seersuckers and even more dangerous SS-N-22 Sunburn cruise missiles not only at opposing warships, but coordinated with several of their submarines to sink any Western flagged commercial ships and especially oil tankers. They also launch a myriad of unconventional attacks on any Western commercial or warship in their range.
- Iran also rains dozens of Sejil 2 and Shahab 3 into Israel. They are conventional and do damage even in Tel Aviv, but Iran does not use chemical or biological warheads for fear of Israeli nuclear retaliation on Tehran. They also target U.S, Naval bases in Bahrain and the U.A.E., the attack is infective as U.S. anti missile technology defeats them.
- Hezbollah begins firing rockets from Southern Lebanon into Israel by the hundreds. Hammas does likewise from Gaza. Palestinian homicide bombers attempt numerous attacks inside Israel.
- Syria with its hands full domestically is happy for the distraction and facititates the movement of Iranian weapons through the country into Lebanon to aid Hezbollah.
- Political leaders in Egypt attempt to dissolve the peace treaty with Israel and attempt to incite the Egyptian military to attack Israel. The military declines the pressure to act against Israel overtly. Covertly weapons leak trough their Gaza border to Hammas.
- Pakistan and Afghanistan declare support for Iran. No plot to smuggle nuclear weapons from Pakistan to Iran goes from idea to workable plan. Afghanistan is limited to political statements and continues to work covertly with Iranian agents.
- China limits support to Tehran to rhetoric. Consideration that U.S. congress is prepared to campaign anti Chinese legislation should financial or weapons aid be sent to Iran. China protects its own interests financially while its military leaders shout threats against Western actions.
- Turkey denounces Israel, but offers no aid to Iran.
- Russia, mighty Russia, helps Iran to bloody the nose of western military forces with intelligence and weapons aid. This is the main danger in the scenario. Estimate that Russia will maintain the same common sense that kept the Cold War cold and not evolve this into World War Three, but they will want to prove some points of the deployment of some military systems.
- Israel is damaged but satisfied that its existential threat is delayed yet again. Hundreds are killed and they eventually exit hostilities. They give the United States ample notice before they strike Iran.
- The U.S. uses the notice of the strike by Israel to position assets. Air and missile power keep almost all harm from Iran at arms length. The Strait of Hormuz is reopened. Should any pre-emptive strikes fail and leave Iranian weapons able to strike the U.S. or Allied fleet causing major damage Iranian infrastructure may be struck in retaliation.
- The Iranian leadership consolidates power over its people. More furious domestic rhetoric rails against Israel, the U.S. Britain, and other western countries. The cycle of worldwide state sponsored terrorism continues and increases. The war on terror grows to uncomfortable levels when weighed against democratic civil liberties. President Obama sits in meetings similar to the ones J.F.K. sat in during the Bay of Pigs. He takes the advice of his military and intelligence advisors agreeing to coordinate with Israel. Eisenhower's "military industrial complex" becomes more clearly the "military industrial intelligence media complex". Gasoline prices rise sharply to all time highs in the U.S. and Europe. President Obama runs as a strong national security president. If the price of oils stabilizes lowerbefore November it increases his chance for re-election.
- Some one in Iran reads this and the Supreme leader calls a press conference to do what is suggested in the first paragraph of this blog.
The Iran Dirty War
Expanding terrorist intelligence operations combined with conventional military expansion are now to be amplified by nuclear capability. The mind set is to threaten to close the Strait of Hormuz militarily in answer to harsh and more meaningful economic sanctions. The regime can only fear the wrath of its own people when the economy starves them. They hold their own people hostage now in fear of revolution. It may already be too late to see this ongoing Dirty War to it's dirty end. Leaders of Iran, people of Iran, it is past the time to change course. I do not wish to see in my lifetime the result of what began in 1979 or 1941 or however you see it played out in blood. Leaders of Iran, now is the time to reach out for peace, people of Iran now is the time to make them do it. We can still avert the great catastrophe.
Kim Jong IL Dead - Now Fear or Hope?
North Korean leader Kim Jong Il died at age 69 today. Aside from the grief of a nation who revered its dictorial leader, what will be the next international political position for the enigmatic nation? There are expectations that the end of the 18 year rule of iron fisted leader will begin changes in North Korean relations with its concerned neighboring countries. What are the possibilities?
First let's assume his passing was not part of a conspiracy that has a predetermined plan connecting his death being a requirement to further an agenda for the future planned actions of the nation. It is of course possible that either internal or external forces assassinated him in order to enforce an agenda with goals still covert. Yet because he has in recent years prepared for succession to his son Kim Jong Un he may have, due to health reasons, expected his time to be short, and therefore his passing was natural. It is reasonable to believe his son will continue in a fashion that in fact Kim Jong IL continued at the death of his even more nationally beloved father Kim IL-Sung began. It may be a simple as a smooth status quo family succession of power, but on the other hand there is the possibility of drastic changes to come.
Good changes? Perhaps there will be a warming of international relations. It could be that the nation may experience a slow thaw with progressive policy that will be encouraged by the international community. Certainly it's long suffering population could benefit by modernization and an open door to business and cooperation with civil rights that give those people a new hope and vitality. The North Korean nation is in a good position to improve the standard of living and rights for its people with simple gestures that invite change. The world would be more than eager to expand markets and breath a sigh of relief at a potentially dangerous nation embracing peace and cooperation with its neighbors and the world at large.
Bad changes? War. There is still the possibility that a new hard line would make the world wish for the precarious balance Kim Jong IL maintained for almost the last two decades. In that scenario could China begin the steps of influence toward a devastating proxy war? Since World War Two the proxy war has been the war machine proliferation of choice. Benefits for both the Eastern and Western military industrial, intelligence and technology powers would have a fulcrum. It would limit the danger of an "all in" major war to controls over the fate and defeat or victory of just that single nation. It could energize massive defense expenditures world wide. In another scenario an internal nationalist sentiment led by a new council of North Korean war hawks could ignite a war for unification with its split brother country to the South. This scenario could be considered a no lose situation for those in power in North Korea. They may calculate that they will force the proxy war issue. They may look at neighbors like Japan and think that even in their own defeat Western powers have been arbiters in peace and great prosperity of former enemies. It may not be difficult to choose the glory of victory and benefit as Vietnam has, or lose and benefit as Japan has.
Here is my personal hope that the country of North Korea chooses the former rather than the later.

Phobos Grunt the RQ170 Drone and Iran
http://www.forbes.com/sites/alexknapp/2011/12/12/russian-scientist-apologizes-for-failed-mars-mission/
It is likely that the Russian and Chinese joint mission has held that same vessel in synchronous low orbit over western Iran. The secret mission in fact being covered is that the Russian spy agency is in an active mission with their Chinese counterparts testing a remote jamming satellite that took down the U.S. RQ170 over Western Iran.
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011/12/12/default-setting-for-auto-landing-leads-theories-on-drone-failure/
I expect the covert conversation right now is between the U.S. and Russian Intelligence Agencies over what the next move will be. China in the mean time is an interested arms length away observer. The Russians have proven to have technology that can over ride U.S. drone electronic remote control. At the same time the U.S. may or may not be ready to use satellite killing technology to take down the covert Phobos Grunt there are bigger questions here. The cover story is already out there for the satellite to disappear, but will it? As for the next questions:
First, was it fully covert or was the call made in advance to alert the CIA that the RQ170 was going to be targeted? Not likely.
Second, will China bite and co-invest in Russian project development? Probably.
Third, and most importantly will Iran misread the signals and push themselves deeper toward what now seems to be an inevitable war with the West? Not much doubt.
The next move here will not be so obvious. Expect more cover stories before the results.
Jim Marrs Website Revamp
I just got back from a visit to the Jim Marrs website. I have visited it numerous times and just went back to see what he has been up to. So you know my opinion of Jim, I do think he has been maybe the best conspiracy theory journalist to ever tap a keyboard. I expected to see an update on the "A View from Marrs" website. Instead I found an entirely new website. I like it. While the old "A View from Marrs" format was a rich source of articles and information, the new site is more of a news forum and designed to be more interactive with the visitors. Here is the link to it if you don't already know.
http://www.jimmarrs.com/
I recommend reading the great library of Jim Marrs books as thought provoking and entertaining material that at the very least will inform you and should also make you a little more open minded. Keep in mind while his writing reads like fiction, and even science fiction, he is actually a really good investigative journalist. If you know him, then nuff said. If you just arrived from another planet, or are just new to conspiracy theory thinking it is enough to start with knowing that his book "Crossfire The Plot that Killed Kennedy" was most of the inpiration for Oliver Stone's movie "JFK". Then you can catch up with the numerous books he has since published.
I do want to make it clear that I am a fan, but not a cult like fanatic who agrees with everything he writes and says. To me he is a hard working investigator who presents interesting and intelligent points of view. His ideas are worth considering. In his latest interviews and radio broadcasts he has been covering American civil rights issues, politics, and U.S. and New World Government theories.
Here is the part where all of the polarized political fanatics can slam me. As far as either Tea Party, Occupy Wall Street, or any groups or people in between I personally may not be quite with you. I'm one of those patriotic American citizens who sees the problems, stays informed, but still believes that as this country evolves it will correct the problems. In the end I think the people you really don't hear from mean more than we realize. There is an inherent good in a large majority of the American people. They don't blog, might or might not have a Facebook account, and are not attending any meetings of the above mentioned groups. They are however the heart and soul of a people who rise to the occasion when there is no other way. We are a strong and compassionate people who are joined by like minded people scattered in places all over the world. It may be that we are in hard times with needed change and questionable actions by our leaders, but in the end do not think that the common American citizens are just sheep. We will have more to do with the solutions than it now appears. I believe it.
NATGEO Parallel Universe Observations
I certainly enjoy watching television shows such as Nova and NATGEO Naked Science. The popular movement to make what was formerly confined to geeky laboratories and bespecled seemingly mad geniuses into entertainment and food for thought to the masses is appreciated by at least me. Personally I think reading Steven Hawkings book "A Brief History of Time" over and over again as a youth prepared me for this. There are so many television episodes on the subject of physics I have enjoyed that I can't even think to write my thoughts about all of them. I would not pretend to completely understand all of them, but because they are produced well for casual viewers I do mostly get it. Tonight I watched NATGEO Naked Science "Living in a Parallel Universe". http://video.nationalgeographic.com/video/player/national-geographic-channel/shows/naked-science/ngc-do-parallel-universes-exist.html
While I did enjoy it, perhaps because I am becoming older and even crotchety I am writing to somewhat challenge it. The show centers around the "many worlds" theory of Hugh Everett. As much as I enjoy the television interpretations of physics and science I also like reading the actual work such as Everett's actual thesis. The next link is for those of you who reading more than TV.
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/manyworlds/pdf/dissertation.pdf
I won't waste time explaining the theory. You either already know about it or can click the links or search it on your own. I will however in my crotchetiness comment on the show. First while the theory is intriguing it is not hard fact. Is it possible? Sure, but so is anything. The difference is that physics can be proven, developed into practical use, and used over and over again. We do it from using a simple lever to increase power to sending rockets to nearby celestial bodies. From what I have read the multiverse theories are no more than that, interesting theories. That is O.K., if you have read any of my work you know that is mostly what I do. So why do I disagree? Let's start with this. While I know each of the brilliant MIT professors presenting on the show are smarter than I am I heard one thing that stuck with me as wrong, and another that made me think of it in a different way. One of the professors said that Everett's work was as important as Newton or Einstein. Newton's work on gravity was so important as physics fact that even today the modern space age would only need his work to perform the calculations to fly to the moon. In the two hundred years plus since Newton I would not argue with Maxwell's Electromagnetic Unification or even the inventions of Tesla as near Newtonian genius. I would still have to see Einstein as the only true peer genius of Newton. The difference is in how the subsequent applications affect the world. I tend to think the next peer genius of Newton/Einstein may be more than a century away. If someone could find a useful link to Everett's work where we could skip from universe to universe and control each of their outcomes, well then that would be different. Anyone would have to agree then that Everett would belong with the lofty aforementioned genius. The next great genius will overcome a monumental task, the thinking and resulting practical applications will be beyond what even science fiction contemplates. In the case of Newton/Einstein theories there was not even an imagination of the thinking. That will have to be the standard for the next peer genius. Saying that Everett meets that standard is the issue I have of crotchety, picky disagreement.
The part of the show that made me think differently, that let's say expanded my mind was about saying that particles behave as waves, and waves behave as particles. I think this same thought in some form must have occurred to many other people. The part of where we are solid and exist in one world is our particle existence. The particles that are us, the real solid us, become separated from our wave self when we die. Consciousness, thought, existence without body, you know, the soul. Ourselves free in the universe unrestrained, or if you are of faith, our spirit can only exist that way when our particle selves become our wave selves when our body stops. The particles are still there, but the wave pushes off and out of its no longer useful related host. Heaven, ghosts, the holographic universe? Call it what you want. Why not?
