Old LVCI vBlog- This One Is About Voting Referendums

I used to do these often but then I stated getting personally harassed outside this blog  So I'm no longer interested in doing them. However this is one I came across from years ago. I'm still of the same opinion. See how it goes. If it becomes a problem I'll remove it again like years ago.

Let's Talk About The 4th Dimension?

Repost With Updated Material

Simply stated, a 4th component that combines our 3 dimensional world and it's resultant time distortion into a single continuum.

We tend to define time as the speed at which light travels. However space-time may be something entirely different.

In our world of perception there are points A, B & C. Up, Down and across and also the "time" (speed of light) it takes to get to any of those.

In the world of quantum physics the speed of light is no longer a restrictive component (at least mathematically speaking).

The theory is that life itself (as we are familiar with it) is considered a delusive effect resulting from the relationships between that of A, B and C and our own selves (awareness).

How we interpret time could be little more then a product of those three's interactions. On the other hand suppose that everything is happening at once and our 3D world separates us in some way to make sense of it all.


It's similar to millions of RF waves all being broadcast at the same time. Only when certain perimeters are defined can a signal be picked out from amongst the cacophony and processed in a manner so chosen to make sense. Some become TV. Others radar returns, radio broadcasts, cell phone signals, GPS coordinates, etc.

Let me put this another way. The snow on your TV's audio and screen is the result of every RF wave the receiver is capable of receiving. It's only when the RF is filtered down to conform to the TV's built in logic that it is able to translate that into something our senses can make sense of. Our human brains do the same.

Quantum physics offers us an intriguing question. What if everything that ever was is entirely in the here-and-now exclusively? That everything we think we know is only the resultant reception (perception) of A, B, and C.

For one thing, distance would no longer be an obstacle. Neither would the times of past events be anything other then a illusion. In other words what we refer to as time & distance is limited by our perceptions of them.

Einstein's mathematical equations have proven time (as we measure it) is defined by the interactions between A, B and C. It does account for quantized space-time. While his theory holds correct for the three dimensional universe, it does not take into consideration a fourth dimensional explaination. The space-time element part of the equation.

Carl Sagan

I could go on endlessly speaking about what this implies regarding metaphysics, space & time travel or even heaven itself. I leave it here, at this point, for readers of this blog to further conjecture the implications of such things for one's self.

The Bible states..
"So God created human beings in his own image.
"In the image of God he created them"

UPDATE
In other words everything in this world (as we perceive it) is only a partial representation of greater reality. Our brains simply are not capable of processing the information it would need to recognize a greater existence. Much like a computer can't comprehend a human is behind it's very existence. We may not be able to comprehend the 4th dimension, but we can speculate as to it's possibility.

Most Insane Free Skate Ever Seen!

Nineteen-year-old American superstar Ilia Malinin scored a record 227.79 in the free skate, winning his first world title by landing the best collection of jumps in one program in figure skating history. Malinin landed a quadruple Axel, quad Lutz, quad loop, quad Salchow, another quad Lutz and a quad toe loop, then finished his four-minute skate with a a triple Lutz-triple Axel finale.

No Reason To Cut My Social Security/Medicare Benefits

I was curious so I checked my Social Security records, I still have $24,572 more paid into SS then I received so far. So I don't want to hear any shit from those members of congress who are looking to cut back my monthly SS checks. You guys borrowed my money now pay it back and shut up!

Medicare that's a different story. What I pay in plus supplemental ($4,500 a year total) cost the program more to cover my medications alone. This could be easily fixed if the knucklehead legislators would rein in the drug industry. In my case it would cost about $3,000 less to Medicare if my medications could be purchased in other countries. One of the major reasons Medicare finds itself in the situation it's in is because congress is sitting on it's ass doing nothing about reining in these out of control prices.




So I don't want to hear about program cuts till these bird brains in congress go after the real culprits taking advantage of the current system.

My Newscast From The LVCI Vault

Repost

Way back in May 2007 when I first started to screw around on YouTube I made of a couple of these GTV news video thingies. I noticed this one in particular seemed to be similar to some of the stuff going on in the news today.

The Economy Is Stupid



Median rent is Allentown is between $1,100 to $1200 for a one bedroom apartment. After I graduated in 1966 my rent was one week of my net pay for a single bedroom near 17th & Hamilton.

In today's economy I would have to earn a net pay of between $17.50 to $30 an hour to enjoy the same advantage I had back then. Keep in mind the job I had was just average joe-schmoe job. Nothing professional about it.



Speaking of Jobs
In those days I filled out an application and usually had my interview right after. In my case the first three different fulltime jobs I applied for from 1966-1971 resulted in me being hired right away. Course there were dozens upon dozens of employers around here competing with each other for employees. It's not that way anymore. Times sure changed a hellva' lot since then.

That's why I'm saying The Economy Is Stupid. These days you'd need two unskilled jobs (such as mine were) to have what I had back in those days with only one. Some could blame high rents. Others low wages. Maybe it's a combination of both. Whatever the reason people have it a lot tougher then I did back then. I don't see anything that's going to change that.
