If you can believe in Myth Math — all things are possible — except for the existence and power of GOD

CLOWN CAR FIZZIX

A lampoon of DEGRASSE TYSON’s on-the-record beliefs about “black holes” from the Cosmos cartoon show, episode four:

“Used clown car salesman” DEGRASSE TYSON sells Magic Carpet Math Myths that make “the Bible” look more and more reasonable after every episode.

     If you could survive the trip in a clown car, you might emerge in another place and time in our own universe, circumventing, or dodging the first commandment of relativity: thou shalt not travel faster than light in a clown car. And if you can circumvent the first commandment of relativity—why not all of them?

     Nothing can move through space faster than light, unless you are playing fizzix dodge law. But space is not mere emptiness if there is something in it. Its properties can stretch and shrink and be deformed—just like the ever-evolving theories concocted by the scoff-laws of “relativity”. And when that happens, time is deformed, too. Fun flies when you’re doing time.

     Einstein discovered that space and time are just two aspects of the same thing: space-time. Space-time itself can deform enough to carry you anywhere at any speed—although you would never “get anywhere” because everything else would have distanced itself from you “at any speed” because of self-inflating space. Nevertheless, clown cars may very well be tunnels through the universe.

     On this intergalactic clown subway car system, you could travel to the farthest reaches of space-time, or you might arrive in someplace even more amazing. We might find ourselves in a clown car parking lot in an altogether different universe.

     But how can a whole universe fit inside of a clown car, which is only a small part of our universe? It’s another magic circus trick of clown car fizzix. The phenomenal gravity of a clown car can warp the space of the entire universe inside it. Our local gravity might be a drag to us, but it’s really feeble compared with what goes on inside a clown car.

     As far as we know, when a giant star collapses to make a clown car, the extreme density and pressure at the center mimic the Big Bang, which gave rise to our universe. And a universe inside a clown car might give rise to its own clown cars. And those could lead to other universes. Maybe that’s how our cosmos clown cartoon show came to be. For all we know, if you want to see what it’s like inside a clown car just look around you.

Recent quotes from Stanford physicist Andrei Linde — originator of "eternal chaotic inflation" . . .

"I was living in this state of depression. I was in my bed and unable to do anything,"

"I held my head ... What can I do? What can I do?"

"And suddenly, I had the theory of eternally expanding inflationary universes, unceasingly producing new universes,"

"It was just pure, from nowhere,"

"Even if one tries to interpret our results in religious terms, I think that it would be such a waste of energy for 'God' not to use this way of creating a universe -- to take a milligram of matter and then the universe does the rest of the job by itself, producing infinite number of universes,"

An atheist or agnostic skeptic might glance at the above annotated scripture references and quickly tighten his blinders so there won’t be any possibility that he might have to compare his own version of an atheistic belief system with something “the Bible” actually says. Why waste “space-time” attempting to figure out what squeezing a camel through the eye of a needle could possibly mean symbolically when one can rest assured that scientists have used “pure” mathematical “logic” to “prove” an evolving load of contradictory “explanations” of the entire history of the cosmos, or Universe—assuming one Universe is big enough to hold “Everything” that was spontaneously ejected from absolutely “Nothing” into an “infinite” amount of “space-time” that had never existed before it was “needed”.

"And suddenly, I had the theory of eternally expanding inflationary universes, unceasingly producing new universes,"

"It was just pure, from nowhere,"

"Even if one tries to interpret our results in religious terms, I think that it would be such a waste of energy for 'God' not to use this way of creating a universe -- to take a milligram of matter and then the universe does the rest of the job by itself, producing infinite number of universes,"

Stanford physicist Andrei Linde — originator of "eternal chaotic inflation" . . .

“If you have faith, and doubt not” in one or more of the theories of cosmic “inflation” you can “instantly”, and completely fill a 27.6 billion “light-years” in diameter “visible” globular Universe with all of the energy, dark energy, matter, dark matter, and annihilated anti-matter that ever existed, reserving sufficient “space-time” at the “exact center” for the future Sun of our solar system, and our planet Earth, which will be composed of “just the right amounts” of almost a hundred atomic elements in its atmosphere, oceans, and mountains—most of which could not even be theoretically “squeezed” together, or “fused” together inside of the imagined ancient supernova that allegedly spewed out the atomic “stardust” of which you and everything else on Earth is supposedly made.

Though some imagine that the maximum speed of light photons traveling unimpeded through a “perfect vacuum” is roughly 186,000 miles per second; the speed of light photons can be impeded by the slightest interference. Some even think that the still inadequately defined “force of gravity” (which is not “magnetic”), can attract electro-magnetic “light-waves”, or photons, which have no mass. Of course they have to redefine “gravity” as something other than a predictable attractive force between atoms, which have “mass”.

You can bring a full-spectrum collective “ray” of electro-magnetic photons from the Sun to a dead stop and prevent them from traveling into your eyes by holding a finger-tip, or almost anything else, between the Sun and your eyes. The thinnest mist of water molecules can interfere with the speed of photons attempting to travel in a straight line from their source. A prism can slow an integrated spectrum of “visible” light waves and “separate” photons of different wave-lengths producing the band of “segregated” colors, which are also seen in rainbows.

It is claimed that only massless light-wave photons can travel at the “speed of light”—because photons don’t “gain mass” which would be subject to the “force of gravity”, the faster they travel—and neither does anything else—in particular, “gravitational waves” which have no mass (and no existence), so you can “allow” them to propagate at the speed of infinity if you are a believer in “inflation” theories.

Myth-math cosmologists claim that their 13.8 billion light-year “age” of the Universe is calculated by imagining that the most distant detectable light-waves from the “Beginning” (or “BigBanging”) of “Everything” in the Universe have taken 13.8 billion years to travel at full “light speed in a perfect vacuum” back to the point in ancient “space-time” from which the atoms in the farthest galaxies originated, which happens to be the exact location Earth now inhabits. What a coincidence!

“Inflationists” seem to “take for granted” that all of the sub-atomic particles in the farthest galaxies, nearest galaxies, and in-between galaxies spontaneously exploded out of a single invisible point of “Nothing”, from which point the particles spread themselves seamlessly throughout the entirety of a Universal “time and space-sphere” made out of “fabric”, maintaining an equal over-all density of sub-atomic particulate “matter” throughout—no matter how much it “inflated” at the speed of infinity.

“Inflationists” believe “Everything” in the Universe can travel to a different location infinitely faster than the “speed of light” as long as one can imagine that atoms, or galaxies aren’t actually traveling away from each other—only the space between the atoms, or galaxies is increasing by means of the magic-carpet called “inflation”.

Many atheistic cosmology theorists, and atheistic evolutionists like to honor themselves by suggesting that their supposed philosophical “brilliance” is an “after-glow” of the “stardust” that congealed into whatever classification of animal they think they belong in—human, ape, or whatever. But “stardust” isn’t even remotely close to being as complex and useful as the element-rich “earth”, or dirt under our feet that allows us to survive and continually improve the potential quality of life through intelligent use of dozens of the ingeniously organized, and interactive atomic elements that could never have existed in the “core” of any known star.

And “stardust”, or its incredibly superior counterpart, “earthdust”, cannot, has not, and will never be able to mindlessly, and unintelligently not design countless, perfectly complete, genetically compatible male and female pairs of living, breathing, successfully reproducing, phenomenally distinctive DNA-based species, with “minds” and instinctive behavior patterns that cause all of them to “act the way they look”.

The spectacular array of distinct facial and body differences between billions of humans is complemented by the fact that most humans act the way they “look” as unique personalities, throughout every “stage” of their individual lives—even though most of the useful DNA patterns in all humans and all apes are essentially the same—proving that the primary “responsibility” of genes is to “guide” the production of protein molecules, not to build infinitely complex and ever-changing individual living bodies, complete with “instinctive minds” that cause them to act the way they look.

Humans only have about 22,000 genes that are actively involved in building protein molecules—and that does not mean building cells, or integrated body components. Many non-human creatures have far more “active” protein-building genes. A major reason for the matching of gene-produced protein molecules in a broad range of “flora and fauna” (plants and animals), is that it allows those proteins to be utilized as easily assimilated “food” once the proteins stop being used in the composition of the still-living cells of one body and that body becomes “food” for some other body.

What used to be called “junk DNA”—sometimes close to 98% of a creature’s DNA—is finally being given credit as a means for trillions of living cells to identify themselves as being part of the same body. Such DNA is not used for the “building” of new protein molecules within the trillions of perfectly cohesive, interdependent, and interactive cell structures found in every specie. But every living cell in an individual creature’s body must have the same unique ID, and that is accomplished by the replication of unique patterns of non-protein building instructions, even though the relatively small number of essential protein-building genes are virtually identical across a broad range of life-forms.

Each individual’s unique “junk DNA” is also involved in determining many of the specific forms of “aging” progression that a creature will exhibit, including vulnerability to specific diseases of every kind that were designed to eventually eliminate the “oldest” generation of every specie once it gets past the “age” of optimal reproductive capability—including humans. That in no way implies that humans past the “age” of optimal reproductive capability should die as soon as possible. But that’s what often happens when there is little or nothing available to delay the inevitable.

This has been a brief overview of some of the material involving cosmology and physiology that I hope to publish in due time. There is more below. Please take some time to read the following quotations from others. Perhaps the direction of your skepticism may change.

You may think it’s ridiculous to claim that it is easier for a huge camel to pass through the tiny eye of a needle, than for a GOD-less, wealth-hoarding man to enter into the Kingdom of GOD—especially if you believe that only the camel, the needle, and the man in the equation can exist.

Perhaps it would have been more believable to some if Jesus said . . .

It is easier for “Nothing” to spontaneously pack into a previously non-existent particle of “space-time”, smaller than a single atomic proton, the entirety of all energy, all matter, all dark energy, all dark matter, and all annihilated anti-matter which has ever existed in the Universe, and let it “instantly” “inflate” into self-generated “space-time” out to at least 13.8 billion light-years away from the current Earth location, in every direction—than for an atheistic cosmologist to enter into the Kingdom of GOD.

Stanford: Big Bang tremors may back physicist's universe birth

Theory

By Lisa M. Krieger lkrieger@mercurynews.com San Jose Mercury News

Posted: MercuryNews.com

In the beginning, there was nothing.

And then, in an explosive instant: Everything.

That explains not just Stanford physicist Andrei Linde's landmark theory, but also his moment of epiphany, in Moscow 30 years ago, that transformed our understanding of the beginnings of the universe. Astronomers announced new findings last week that, if corroborated, validate his pioneering vision that the universe was born in a fraction of a second, expanding exponentially from a size smaller than a proton.

Last Monday, a team of scientists reported that a telescope at the South Pole had detected gravitational waves that are the first tremors of the Big Bang, when the universe was a trillionth of a trillionth of a trillionth of a second old. The news, heralded as one of cosmology's biggest discoveries, lends "smoking gun" evidence to Linde's once-radical Chaotic Inflation theory about the universe's violent expansion.

"It is a wonderful thing. For so many years we live with an idea that what we are saying is true—despite what everybody else says," Linde, 66, said Thursday in his small corner office at Stanford, holding only a computer, a bookcase and a blackboard of chalked equations.

He and physicist wife Renata Kallosh learned the stunning news in a morning knock on the door of their campus home, delivered by Stanford researcher Chao-Lin Kuo, who was part of the South Pole team that detected the waves. His surprise visit to Linde's Stanford home, complete with champagne, was captured on a video that went viral on YouTube.

Massachusetts Institute of Technology cosmologist Max Tegmark told The New York Times, "I think that if this stays true, it will go down as one of the greatest discoveries in the history of science."

Scientists long speculated that our universe started some 13.8 billion years ago, created in a single "Big Bang" fireball. But that theory had flaws. The Bang was there, but it was not big enough to explain our universe. To solve this problem, Alan Guth of the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory in Menlo Park proposed that after the original explosion, the fireball cooled and then reignited in a special vacuum-like state, in a mind-boggling fraction of a second. That sudden expansion was called "inflation."

It is a stunning notion: in a brief blinding pulse, all the matter there is, or will ever be, was produced. But the theory proposed by Guth also had a flaw: after inflation, the universe became very non-uniform. In 1983, Linde proposed an improved theory, called "chaotic inflation."

In Linde's inflationary theory, the newborn universe was not hot -- it became hot only later, after inflation.It is the waves from this inflation that were announced last week. Then, in 1986, Linde developed the theory of "eternal chaotic inflation," which creates a self-reproducing, eternally existing system of many universes.

This most extraordinary of ideas was conceived in the most ordinary of circumstances. Linde was lying in bed, sick, at his home in Moscow, during a miserable winter. And his international intellectual life was in limbo, because publication of a paper had been suspended a year during the turbulence at the end of Soviet rule.

"I was living in this state of depression. I was in my bed and unable to do anything," he said. Then came a sudden invitation to visit Italy -- but he had to submit a paper overnight.

"I held my head ... What can I do? What can I do?" he recalled thinking, with less than an hour to write. "And suddenly, I had the theory of eternally expanding inflationary universes, unceasingly producing new universes," of which ours is but one of many.

"It was just pure, from nowhere,"he said.

He smuggled a paper out of the Soviet Union into Italy, then published it. The theory stayed marginal at first; people had an attachment to the Big Bang, he thinks.

The son of two Russian physicists, Linde spent his early childhood enamored with geology. But in seventh grade, two books—one on cosmology, the other on Einstein's theory of relativity, both read in the back seat of his parents' car while en route to the Black Sea—changed his mind.

Savas Dimopoulos, a particle physicist and colleague at Stanford, calls Linde "spectacularly brilliant, very intuitive—and intellectually very daring. He is capable of extracting great physics from the simplest principles."

Yet even now, while giddy with the hope of triumph, this founding father of Chaotic Inflation is unwilling to suspend all skepticism.

"First we really need to double- and triple-check it," he said. "If you are doing something which is wrong and stupid, you better be the first to know."

Linde is riveted by the possibility that the explosion didn't just create us -- but billions of other universes governed by different physical laws. It is a comfortable concept for a mind that grew up under Soviet dogma and distrusts any single authoritarian system – including monotheistic religions ruled over by a single God. He said he is more attracted to polytheistic Eastern philosophy.

"Even if one tries to interpret our results in religious terms, I think that it would be such a waste of energy for 'God' not to use this way of creating a universe -- to take a milligram of matter and then the universe does the rest of the job by itself, producing infinite number of universes," he said.

If there was a creator of the universe, was the work signed? Is there a hidden message? The inflationary expansion could make it too huge to read, he concedes. But perhaps the message is encoded in the laws of that universe -- legible only to physicists. The thought brings him joy.

"Maybe God is a physicist hacker," Linde laughed. Then he turned quiet. "I am not so sure this is just a joke."

Gravity-Wave Observatory Debates Fake-Data Tests

Yudhijit Bhattacharjee

After researchers had spent months checking and rechecking their analysis of a signal seen by the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory and spent hundreds of hours writing a discovery paper, it was revealed that the data was a well-intentioned hoax—a blind injection. While the bogus signal had left them better prepared to make a real detection in the future, did it go too far? That question—and how future blind injections should be conducted—will be discussed next week when researchers from the LIGO Scientific Collaboration and their counterparts at the Virgo gravitational wave detector in Italy meet to prepare for the next phase of the search for gravitational waves.

Bonus Friday link: a real use for fake data

Posted on March 15, 2013 by Jeremy Fox

Very interesting news article in Science this week on how physicists trying to detect the extremely subtle signal of gravity waves use intentionally-faked data in order to learn how to detect real signals. Once or twice per year, there is a “blind injection” without the knowledge of the physicists actually doing the data collection and analysis, the gravity wave detector is subtly reconfigured to make it produce fake data that appear to contain a signal.

I was struck by the lengths to which these blind injections are taken. The physicists working on the data analysis are allowed to spend months chasing down fake signals, checking for errors, trying to confirm the signal via independent means, etc. They’ve gone so far as to have observatories look for non-existent events in space that might have produced the fake signals, and in one case even wrote a paper and were ready to submit it when the deception was revealed. All of which perhaps just illustrates why fundamental physics, perhaps alone among major fields of science, doesn’t need to worry about whether it has a systematic problem with its statistical tests. Other fields, quite likely including ecology, have a lot of catching up to do in terms of bringing their analytical practices closer to the textbook ideal.

I was also struck by how the fake data were produced–by actually physically manipulating the detector so that it produces exactly the sort of data that would be expected if a gravity wave actually did occur. It’s not that unusual in ecology for people to test out new analytical approaches to see if they can detect a signal in simulated (i.e. fake) data. But the problem with this approach is that it’s often not at all clear that the simulated “signals” in the simulated data actually resemble the signals that would be seen in real data. For instance, techniques for testing for non-random patterns of species co-occurrence in species x site matrices have been validated by testing them on simulated matrices known to contain “checkerboard” patterns (a given site contains species A, or species B, but never both). But it’s unclear when, if ever, interspecific competition actually would be expected to produce such a checkerboard pattern (and if you say “it’s obvious that it would”, sorry, no it’s not, as can be easily demonstrated with a simple competition model). Which is a problem since we only care about “checkerboards” in the first place because they’re a putative “signal” of interspecific competition. Which perhaps just goes to show that, in order to properly test your signal detection abilities with fake signals, you first have to know what constitutes a “signal”, and what exactly it’s a signal of.

Cosmology is the study of available knowledge about the origin, history, and potential future of the cosmos, or universe. Throughout human history, cosmology has been almost entirely theoretical and unscientific. Often what has been considered “knowledge”, or “revelation” becomes exposed as non-sense through use of “simple” logic and the progressing reality of true science.

Regrettably, many have mistaken the ability of some “physicists” to fill a blackboard with mathematical symbols and “equations” as proof that their impossible, non-sensical cosmological theories have been proven. But the more than a century old, ever-growing mishmash of contradicting “mathematical” myths of theoretical cosmology, have been “proven” only to the degree that one is willing to assign credibility to those physicists and mathematicians who can keep a straight face as they pretend that their “blackboards” full of mathematical symbols represent reality.

Those “cosmology theorists” who present themselves to the public as “beacons of scientific revelation”, and even those who prefer to live as anonymous recluses in cluttered research labs, should consider whether they are propagating useful, scientifically provable truth, or perpetuating unprovable theoretical non-sense that sounds every bit as stupid as the phony “strawgod” caricatures they concoct to direct scorn at the reasonable revelations of cosmology found in traditional Messianic Christian scriptures—which by no means includes all traditional scripture associated with Messianic Christian scriptures.

The most well-known, so-called “genius” who has been given credit for originating a couple of supposedly “brilliant” insights in the vast field of physics, may have been more questionable in character than the useless “insights” he supposedly originated. The efforts of countless “apologists” who attempt to make “modern” cosmology theory “understandable” to the “lay person” continue to prove there is nothing of value in what supposedly came out of Einstein’s brain.

There are numerous physics-oriented detractors who think Einstein was just about the opposite of what many have been told he was. Many of them hope to have their own contradicting, and usually bizarre theories publicized. Yet, for fear of losing funding, innumerable physics apologists don’t dare become disbelievers in the “cult” built around the most well-known, so-called “genius”, whose personal history doesn’t support his reputation.

Utilizing internet search capabilities, it takes virtually no effort to find an enormous array of literature that discusses the inadequacies and emptiness of “Einstein’s” theories at whatever level you can handle.
