Abstract:  This chapter amounts to nothing more than a bunch of 
disconnected disgusting and somewhat disgruntled random notes and 
thoughts file.



               In re:  The Universe+ chapter.

Well, for father's day 2006 my wife got me a spiffy new 
picture book of images from the Hubble Telescope.

The book is called, "The Universe - Images from the Hubble 
Telescope"  by Leo Marriott. ISBN: 0-7858-2044-2  Cost $30.

It has a 2004 copyright on it but i had never seen it before 
a month ago at our local bookstore, Borders in Torrance, CA.

i recommend everybody get a copy to use as a coffee table 
(yes, it is that big!)  just put it on some bricks with a 
vase of flowers on the top.  This is definitely a joe 
sixpack book.

It is probably, from my point of view, the worse book i have 
ever gawked at.  But worse only in the sense that one of my 
very favorite joe sixpack hypotheses got wacked and wacked 
pretty hard concerning the formation of spiral galaxies.
Other than that is is a great, extremely well printed book 
from China.  If it had been printed in America it would have 
cost a king's ransom.

Towards the back it has a picture of M100.  Now M100 is a VERY 
large galaxy and in this book it doesn't look like it came to be 
by a closing of two binary black holes.  There are two binaries 
involved all right, but the distribution of the matter that is far 
out, is all wrong for my favorite hypothesis i think...  well, 
maybe i am sort of right, but it sure doesn't look like it to 
me...

Take a look at the picture and see if you can figure out how 
the galaxie called m100 came into being and where it is 
going.  notice the two very dark areas?  notice the bright 
center?  what's going on?  Is the bright center the two 
binaries or is the two dark areas the two binaries and the 
bright center just a zero gravity emission.  no?  probably 
too wide for that.  Zero gravity ports are really pretty 
thin.  



                        Restating...

Let me put it this way, the picture says, "joseph_sixpack, 
you and your closing black hole redistribution of matter 
ideas are wetter than a cat in a watering trough".

i spent the rest of the day and into the week, sulking and 
grumping about a perfect picture from Hubble that destroyed 
my favorite theory.

It is too fundamental of an idea from joe to be dismissed as 
simply wrong.  This picture shows fundamental defects in the 
intuitive reasoning and indicts the deduction processes of 
joe.  no one likes to be THAT wrong...  :-(  

Can anybody bail me out on this formation?  Need a better idea...

Did the massive gravitation of the closing binaries just 
gravitationally suck up all the dust and dirt from the 
surrounding area?

Did it start pouring off the dust from the large closing 
black holes way ahead of time as they accelerated towards 
one another keeping in mind that both were still in 
radiation retention mode? 

Now we know that what we are seeing is n,nnn,nnn,nnn light years 
old.  What is the condition and configuation of m100 today?



                      Kilroy was here

Pickup up yet another $28 book on cosmology from Borders a 
couple of weeks ago on sale for $4.  Inventory reduction.

Origins - Fourteen Billion Years of Cosmic Evolution.
                (a major NOVA special on PBS
Authors were:  Neil DeGrasse Tyson and Donald GoldSmith.

Great Book... i am still looking for the accompanying DVD.

                         BUT

on page 127 of Origins, we read excerpted:
  "In 1692, Sir Isaac Newton writing to Richard Bentley the 
master of Trinity College at Cambridge University...
...so as to make an infinite number of great masses, 
scattered at great distances from one to anther throughtout 
all that infinite space..."

Well, if you read the whole thing of Isaac's Newton's 
letter, this is most of MY Universe Plus hypothesis... 
albeit, mine being ONLY 314 years later than his, (acually 
about 310 years) or maybe even longer if Newton had sat on 
his knowledge for a decade or so before writing.

Doing cosmology on pure thought and common intuition is, to 
put it mildly, hazardous for a joseph_sixpack to say the 
least.

                                         

     And now for something completely different

          What was it exactly that was made flesh?

                    In my humble opinion
Civilizations began to build and march up country when they 
began to write.  Prior to that, it can be assumed that wall 
paintings and oral tradition was the most effective means of 
transmitting information from one generation to another.  

The young child was grabbed by the ears and told by its 
mother, "listen you dumb shit!  this is how it is...".  

Later on, the child now older, grabbed his younger brother, 
and depending upon what he understood from his mother, told 
his younger brother, "Listen you dumb shit!  this is how it 
is...".

Later, the two of them listened to the older hunter- 
gatherers and received more information that was necessary 
to their survival.  In addition, they were shown how to do 
the things that they were told.

A lot of the time, the oral tradition was severely disrupted 
by tribal wars, conflicts, disease, famine, plague and other 
environmental niceties.  The new generation, or what was 
left of it, had to start from scratch all over again.

Some remembered some things, others remembered other things.  
But the backbone of cultural effort, such as it was, was 
ripped out, forgotten, the tiny social group came to 
disarray.

                  Then there were pictures

The pictures on the walls helped some, if they were relevant 
and there were a few bright people left to reinterpret them 
when disorder came.

But one bright day, a bright monk said, don't eat that 
bright stuff, it will make you sick, and drew a writing 
picture of the hamburger and french fries smothered in 
ketchup with chocolate ice cream.

Later, restaurant owners used the same pictures as menus, 
but that is another story occuring thousands of years later, 
just about the time money was invented.

Anyhow to make a long boring story short, writing was 
invented somewhere, somehow and mankind was off and running.  

It seemed that there were always those who were smart enough 
to learn how to read the chicken scratch marks that their 
parents and elders left.

Culture and its processes were now founded on writing.  
Armies could be built upon the scratch writings of the 
elders, weapons formed to hunt with, enemies dispatched.

To make a tedious subject mercifully short:
It was the word that was made flesh.

The music wasn't made flesh.

Music wasn't made flesh because it couldn't carry enough 
easily understood information in its tunes.

Paintings ran a close second after the word, but there was 
no way to convey the symbolism of the colors and forms 
exactly or show enough sequential pictures to convey an 
exact meaning.

A lot was lost in error prone interpretation.

So the word ended up doing almost the whole job.
upon its shoulders... the word carried civilization, culture 
and the journey towards eternity or infinity if you are a 
mathematician.

So today we have the Word and we stumble around on earth, 
trying to make it flesh.

For myself, fat, corpulent, the opposite is true - the flesh 
made word.  i try to convince the present to think and 
consider the invisible and unrepresented future.  i create 
little easter island statuettes but no one understands what 
they see.

So i respectfully and humbly submit for your consideration, 
that it is time for a few new Words to be made flesh from on 
Most High, so that the future can have a viable planet to 
live on, topsoil to grow food on, oceans to give fish, air 
to breath and other miscellaneous necessary whatnot?



                       Not so tiny bubbles
            (From the Christian Science Monitor)
                 (Thursday, June 22, 2006)

Near-Earth space is forever blowing bubbles - a surprising 
find by a team of physicists using satellite data to study 
the interaction of the Earth's magnetic field with the solar 
wind - a flow of particles streaming from the sun.

The "bubbles" appear above the sunlit side of our planet 
roughly between 50,000 and 75,000 miles away.  There, vast 
pockets of gas display a density about 1/10th the density of 
the surrounding gas, but with temperatures from 100,000 to 
10 million degrees C.  The bubbles, perhaps 600 miles 
across, last for 10 seconds, burst, and are replaced with 
cooler gas from the solar wind.

initially the researchers, led by George Parks of the 
University of California at Berkeley thought the bubbles 
were flukes, evidence from flaky instruments.  But when five 
satellites - four from Europe and one from China - recorded 
the unusual formations simulaneously, the team concluded 
that the bubble explanation was correct.  The results appear 
in the current issue of the journal of Physics of Plasma.



In an attempt to understand the phenomena above, joe came up 
with more weird ideas...

                         The Lamb effect

when these hi-energy, hi-mass particles (clumps of energy) 
from the sun hit the earth's magnetic field, they 'come 
apart' and release enormous amounts of their contained 
energy.  Often, it is presumed only, that the particles 
often hit the/a magnetic field right on the surface, or near 
the surface of the sun.

That certain types of hi-energy (temperature) mass can be 
induced to release its contained energy is an interesting 
proposition that doesn't need to be investigated other than 
for possible spacecraft propulsion systems or possible 
energy generating systems for desalinization or electricity 
to run air conditioners in the new hot world.
