Gravity

“and I turn the tide and get back my pride”
                                                               -Burning Ground, The Healing Game, Van Morrison

Gravity follows no constraints. Its name is a misnomer when used in any sentence. Gravity. That is all one can really say, for to say more blasphemes what it is, or does, or was, or will be. It is sacred. Its name should be sacred, for it cannot be seen, or heard. To feel gravity is not really gravity but a collection of magnified tiny electromagnetic impulses, magnified by time to a place in space where we think it is. It was there where a dinosaur left his footprint 150 million years ago. It has been where a rock on Triton, Neptune’s captured moon, for who knows how many billions of years or how many billions more, has lain by a chance of gravity, and where it has stayed since then. Mans triumph of his conscious will over his unconscious instincts were a momentous event, but it is trumped by Gravity, for we will die, even when the center holds. So we made Pyramids and Burial Mounds to memorialize the life of our forefathers, which is based upon the sacred Gravity. These pyramids have four 120° sides, which in the Lorentz Contraction equations in quantum physics 120° represent the infinite of ±1. The gravity of Jupiter, in congruence with the Sun’s 60° angle to the Jovian orbit, shoots off fields, at 60° in front and 60°behind, where a gravity-well has formed where captured asteroids have congressed and follow in the orbital path in front of, and behind, Jupiter. In one earth year, Jupiter’s orbit will have traveled thirty degrees around the sun, but it is inanimate, and knows not of time, so it traveled both directions, 30 degrees forward in time and 30 degrees backward in time, for sixty degrees, and, when combined with earth’s one year orbit of forward and backward in inanimate matter time, now equals a relative 120 degrees. This is where we can see Gravity, out of time, but it is not just physical, but also part of our lore. When Einstein peered out across the Square to imagine an elevator free-falling in gravity, he could see the inertial mass changing, the time of the observer and observed changing, even the volume of space was changing, but gravity held the center without the slightest notion of why it is or what it is. Thus Gravity opens the Door’s of Perception, but leaves out itself apart. It is a symbol for good, and evil. The freedom and power of Angels is exemplified by their powerful command of defying gravity, and Satan’s evil will commands one third of the stars in the sky (according to revelation) in his abeyance. For Gravity, as for Shakespeare, all the world’s a stage. And to try to nail it down at a time or place or even in a story is vainglorious, and this short story is now in the Library of Babylon, filed under Burial Mounds.

Ode to Krill

Majestic little sea monkey
With an eye as big as Zeus
Even now in a movie-
Happy Feet deuce
Why strive in cold and dark
Eating weeds in Ice
O to make your mark
In Happy Feet Thrice
Sweet Prince of fare
In a Blue Whales gourde
With the dreams do you dare
Make it to Happy Feet Four’d
With Kings and Emperor
In a white slosh you dive
Fideles Semperer
Godspeed to Happy Feet Five
In your flit and dance
Like an unfrozen nymphet
Do you really think the chance
Of Happy Feet Sextet
Overact with zeal and thrust
Like a bow and stern so needy
Row the legs you must
Until Happy Feet eternity

M5 Rendered in Artistic Light and Dark

M5 is a beautiful large globular cluster located in the constellation of Serpens. It is thought to be one of the oldest globular clusters with an estimated age of 13 billion years. This means that it must have formed only 700 million years after the Big Bang, which occurred about 13.7 billion years ago. M5 is located about 24,500 light years away and has an apparent diameter of 23 minutes of arc, which corresponds to a real diameter of about 165 light years in space. It contains between 100,000 and 500,000 stars. It was discovered by Gottfried Kirch in 1702.

A Physics/Science Blog and my 98.75 cents opinion (under a buck)

Here is a cool blog with lots of science and links.

My Spiel
I saw Brian Greenes Fabric of the cosmos on Nova. The spinning skater, being pulled out centripetally in a spin, was used to introduce the concept of space having some mettle to it. In the book he talks of newton spinning a bucket of water, stopping it, and the water continuing to swirl against the sides of the bucket, which is gone on to explain that it is the same as the water standing still and the space around spinning and grasping at matter. He goes on to describe how space is something of three dimensionality, though it is difficult to say why three, and filled with innate energy and pliable. Dark energy was mentioned with the same lack of true intent and cause, but there nontheless, as was the very necessary zero-spin Gibbs particle. Leonard Suskind appeared to say he thought the three dimensions of space was really just a hologram of an infinite two dimensional surface. Here's what I believe is happening, philosophically, which is as workable theory as any described to explain the hard to explain reality. Something is keeping things together. I don't mean gravity, which does hold matter together, apparently at apple, solar and galactic intervals. I don't mean time, which keeps things chronological, even if somewhat stilted by relativity. I don't mean Space, which gives everything a definite holding place, fickle as it is expanding and contracting everywhere. And I don't mean matter, which sets the stage for things to happen, even on a deserted moon in the Serpens Dwarf Galaxy. Something is keeping the pace and holding stuff into a complex ballet of reality, and with real meaning and beauty and consequence and importance of concept. What? God? Is? Real? Me? You? I think it is just a love of complexity that will always continue, maybe in new forms, without matter or time, but something else, like story and pith. Naturally, the math will continue to get more difficult, but the relationships will be fantastic.
