Equation clue: In special relativity when two observers start from same location with synchronized clocks and share the same gravitational acceleration; then when one goes faster than the other measured as percentage of c, the faster persons clock goes slower and they see the slower ones clock also go slower. When astronauts return their clock has slowed down with respect to Earth clocks. Obviously despite seeing the Earth clock go slower, it did not. BUT when we use the same starting conditions and then let one observer be accelerated by gravity like to a neutron star, there clock also slows, but it sees other "non accelerated clock speed up????? Resolving this discrepancy gives us the field over which the Moebius geometry coordinate system explains. It answers the question, "Why is c a constant with respect to all observers?" Einsteins crucial unanswered question.

US election, watching Obama self destruct is quite worrisome. His appearance with JohnStewart was telling. He was apealing to the young and he is so obviously over his head. God help us.

Time is funny. Everyone seems to think we can time travel. In fact we do if going faster than something else is time travel. But in the sense of going into the past in sci-fi books, not a chance. Only the NOW exists. We of course can go FTL to other parts of the now as long as we do not violate your personal time-line. Since this is testable, we shall see.

The rule of Law has been lost as if we really ever had it. Only the fact that the "theft" and legal screwing was at a relatively small level hid the reality that we never really had an honestly enforcer Rule of Law. Now with the massive buble econ0omics of our government, the absence of any real attempt gy our governing cvlass to enforce the Rule of Law is exposed. Well now we migh after paying the price, try actually enforcing it. Some bib politicians need to go to jail pronto.

As a matter of fact, the disintegration of our republic was predicted succinctly by a Democratic-Republi can named Andrew Jackson on July 10, 1832. To wit: It is to be regretted that the rich and powerful too often bend the acts of government to their selfish purposes. Distinctions in society will always exist under every just government. Equality of talents, of education, or of wealth can not be produced by human institutions. In the full enjoyment of the gifts of Heaven and the fruits of superior industry, economy, and virtue, every man is equally entitled to protection by law; but when the laws undertake to add to these natural and just advantages artificial distinctions, to grant titles, gratuities, and exclusive privileges, to make the rich richer and the potent more powerful, the humble members of society-the farmers, mechanics, and laborers-who have neither the time nor the means of securing like favors to themselves, have a right to complain of the injustice of their Government. There are no necessary evils in government. Its evils exist only in its abuses. If it would confine itself to equal protection, and as Heaven does its rains, shower its favors alike on the high and the low, the rich and the poor, it would be an unqualified blessing.

ur government... teaches the whole people by its example. If the government becomes the lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy. Louis D. Brandeis

This is one big joke. The reason nothing major gets past is not because of two parties and a third party will make no difference. The problem is simply that we as a county honestly do not agree on either the problems or the solutions. It's not special interests and it is not conservatives or liberals. We don't agree. That is what the whole problem is. Arguing with people does not change their minds. Arguing is just a way to blow off steam and feel good. If anyone wants their agenda to pass the only way to accomplish it is to educate other people that your definition of the problem is correct and your proposed solution is the best.

As usual the Republican party is way ahead on how to reform itself. It's had internal movements all the way back to Goldwater's which have led the day to changing its mission / message. The Democratic party on the other hand is built up out of interest groups. It's not possible to introduce an idea to the party without someone strategizing if it can get through this or that interest group which has a de-facto veto (and demands it) on its area. Ideas lose out to the Democratic "Gotcha!" ; game. In the Republican party, "Gotcha!" ; doesn't end discussion at all. Look at Ted Olsen ....

Unless I stick to my guns, there can be no disconnection by we humans, which means I think we fry unless the E-Ts lied about when. Not a single question or comment by anyone, friend, family, or stranger now. I will not make my family and friends ask or say anything anymore. It seems impossible that I have not said one thing that deserves at least a comment, but it is true up to now. You can see our society start to come apart at the seams because there is no agreed upon objective standard of value, and no desire to know what that standard is. It is as if having the last word is more important than life itself. I am no longer sure that saying, "Father forgive them, they know not what they do." applies. It seems almost without exception that " We know not, and do not want to know." the worst form of ignorance. I suspect a mortal sin. Our Sun exploding is a replication event so I would imagine ignorant seeds are best.

Its almost funny, I can see the coordinate system and the set of differences a self-aware Moebius can see using the coor. system; but it is becoming harder and harder not to judge us. The lack of curiosity by human beings is most striking. We all seem to be locked into our own insular universe, no matter how much the actual sensory inputs from our universe disagree with what people judge or more precisely wish the universe to be. Isn't that a lack of good will?
